Duplicate Pics in Photos App (iCloud)

Yesterday I upgraded my icloud account to 200GB, and moved all my photo's from iPhoto to the newly released Photos App. It seems a lot of my photo's were duplicated. What are my options to delete any duplicate photos in my "new" library?

I noticed the same thing. Have you noticed that, among the duplicates, that one has a "Photostream" tag and the other doesn't? I think that may be the source of the duplications.

Duplicates in the Photos app using Nokia 1520!

I have recently had this problem where the Camera Roll using the Photos app will duplicate photos. In fact right now, one photo I took yesterday had a duplicate but now, there are 5 copies of the photo! If I take out the SD card and look at the images, there are no duplicates.
So this is a problem with the database of the the Photos app. Sometimes when I restart the phone and take pictures, there would be no duplicates but the problem would come back again. All of this is software related.
Also I do not dare delete the duplicates because last time I did that, it corrupted the original!
This is one big reason why I SO regret getting the 1520. This and the issue with the stuttering video recording unless a very expensive high speed SD card is used. Windows phones need to step up their game to compete with iOS and Android. If this is not resolved soon, I will gladly go back to those 2 main platforms, in fact, because of these issues, I just cannot wait until a bigger screened iphone comes out for my aging eyes!
Solved!

Have you checked in settings for updates ? I don't have your issues, but did have issues with screen sensitivity with swiping and tapping not always having the desired results. However in the last week my 1520 has had two software updates and now has zero issues, latest one today. It may be worth checking on your handset, settings then scroll down to check for software updates

Duplicate albums in "Photos" app, but not iPhoto

I have a few duplicate photo albums in the "Photos" app on my iPhone. They are not duplicated in iPhoto, only "Photos." Can anyone tell me how to delete the duplicate albums from the "Photos" app? Thank you.

No Pics in Photos App

When I sync my photos from Itunes to my Iphone 4 there isn't any photos under the Photos app. Pictures are in camera roll under the Camera app. How do I get them to show up in the albums section of the Photos app?

Deselect Sync Photos followed by selecting Apply and a sync.
Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and your selections below followed by a sync.

Duplicate Pics using Photo Stream

How can one tell if a pic has already moved/copied from photo stream to regular library?
I have read articles on managing photo stream. My understanding is that if I have it turned on on all of my devices, then take a pic with iPad for example, that pic will appear on photo stream portion of each of those devices for thirty day via iCloud. If I don't want to lose it, I must move/copy it to my regular iphoto library.
I am finding multiple copies of the same pic in my iMac iPhoto Library under "Photos". When I scroll though the past thirty days' photos, I have up to three pics of the same theme but each with different image numbers. I suspect this duplication is occuring either if I sync iPad and iPhone or because I transfer a photo more than once from photo stream to regular library (so that it will not disappear after 30 days).
I'm losing control of my library's size and need to understand this better. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I can't send my pictures to the Photos app iCloud. Always giving network error.

I bought store on icloud to be able to store my photos. I have uploaded some and started getting an error message . Now I can no longer up any photos. Any suggestions?

I would not expect anything to download, since streaming only starts when you turn on photostream on the device and you just turned it on. Once you make first picture it will stream right away. Check out photostream FAQs.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ - Support - Apple
in order to get all pictures from old phone, you need to create old phone back up and restore new phone from that back up.
Check out instructions.

You will find two sets of insturctions - by using icloud or itunes.

Sending pics from photos app

Hello everyone!
I'm having promblems sending photos or any other attachement from other apps. If I send them from the mail it works but whenn I try to send something from a different app it does not work. Can anyone here help me please?

You need to set it up once in iPhoto-> Prefs -> Accounts b/c not everyone who uses iPhoto has or uses Mail.

ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).

How do I view my backed up photos from icloud?

I am trying to figure out how to view the photos that are backed up on iCloud. My real issue is I don't have enough storage to back up my phone so I've been deleting things and saving my photos to my computer, but I'm still not able to back up iClouds.

Hello ASLieser,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
You cannot view what photos are backed up to iCloud. If you have Photo Stream turned on, you can see what was uploaded in the Photos app.

How to delete album in photo apps?

A friend loaded 291 pics into Photo apps of my iPad from his mac. I am using Windows Vista, I would like to delete for ever all those pics. How to do it? Than k you.

Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by re-syncing. So connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, and on the Photos tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left, either select a folder of your own photos to sync or just select an empty folder - as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, when you sync your photos (or empty folder) the existing synced photos will be removed.

Will the new photos app and icloud photos library support all formats of pics and videos from my iphoto library?

I will be migrating my whole 200gb iPhoto library 9.5.1 mavericks over to Yosemite iPhoto 9.6.1 and then migrate to the new photos app and hopefully to the icloud.photos online. Does this all support all of my formats such as AVI videos in my iPhoto library. I don't want to lose those through migration.

I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
It's driving me insane!!!

TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
Thank-you for the help!

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

ICloud storage for new photos app

iI've just updated Yosemite and the new photos app is asking me to upgrade my storage, now if I do this will it upload all my photos on my iMac to the cloud including external drives connected to my iMac?

Are you certain?
From Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support
"If you change your System Photo Library, the contents of this new library will be merged with the contents already in iCloud."
But presumably this merge is two-way i.e. the contents already in iCloud will then be merged into the new System Photo Library? It's not clear, but that's how I understand it.
In any case, http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/comments/announcing_powerphotos may well offer library merging in a post 1.0 release.
