Duplicate Removal

Hi All,
In iPhoto 6 I though there was a duplicate menu option, but in iPhoto 8 I see no such tool. I know of the tool Duplicate Annihilator, but I thought there was a native tool.
Ideas?
Thank,
Joe

In iPhoto 6 I though there was a duplicate menu option,
No - there was not a duplicate menu option in iPhoto 6 - you may be thinking of iTunes
but in iPhoto 8 I see no such tool.
And there still is none in iPhoto '08
I know of the tool Duplicate Annihilator,
That is the solution of choice to many people for iPhoto duplicates

    I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...

    You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
    here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • Duplicates removal in Photos

    Hi all,
    I have a large iPhoto Database (180 GB) and have done the update to Photos. All fine, took a while but then discovered that from a certain date, 2010-12-31, I got 2 copies/duplicates from 1 picture each (in total 3).
    This is probably a bug and if there is any clever solution other than manually go thru each copy  - feedback much appreciated
    Thanks everybody for your ideas..

    Unfortunately at this time there are no tools within Photos to search for and remove duplicates and no suitable workarounds to the problem.
    You might try this third party solution.

  • Applescript Mail duplicate removal

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with duplicate email messages and thought I'd take a stab at an applescript solution.  Tried using a few sorting/searching type strategies but the size of the mailboxes just made it too slow and unwieldy.  But I noticed that in the viewer, duplicate messages are not visible.  (Seems like if Mail has the ability to notice duplicates it should just as easily make it an option to flush them, but maybe I'm naive.)  Anyway, thought I would use that knowledge to remove duplicates myself with the script below.  It works so far, but my concern is whether there are *any* reason a message would not be visible yet not a duplicate.  Does anyone know?  This is lightning fast compared to my other attempts and so far seems to only find duplicates.
    tell application "Mail"
              set theViewer to front message viewer
              set msglist to visible messages of theViewer
              set IDlist to {}
              repeat with msg in msglist
           copy (id of msg) to end of IDlist
              end repeat
              set allmsgs to messages of theViewer
              set dupcount to 0
              repeat with msg in allmsgs
                             if (id of msg) is not in IDlist then
                                            move msg to mailbox "Deleteme" of account "myaccount"
                                            set dupcount to dupcount + 1
                            end if
              end repeat
              say "Moved " & (dupcount as rich text) & " messages to mailbox deleteme"
    end tell

    Did you have any luck with this script as I have also been looking for something to do this, at the moment I'm having to use Entourage to perform the function.

  • Itunes movie duplicate removal

    I moved files around and added to library.  Now I have several duplicate fils.  How do I remove them?
    Show Duplicates only shows.  Remove each one by delete - takes too long.

    That's very odd.
    Personally I'd look at it in another user account to see if it does the same there, then you can tell if something in your account is the issue (& start removing prefs files).
    Tools like mediainfo will tell you what tracks are in the file, but that doesn't help you delete the specific tracks, because of the iTunes DRM.
    MediaInfo (free if you use the old & ugly non-app store version).
    I think you may need to delete the file & redownload it to be sure it's not an old error in the file & then contact Apple, since it's their media. https://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Also try VLC, it may disable the tracks because it doesn't use the same AVFoundation as Quicktime X & iTunes.

  • HT2905 The duplicate option has been removed from the latest version of Itunes. I have over 1000 duplicates and need to have a multiple duplicate removal option. How do i do that?

    I have over 1000 duplicates in both my files and in the Itunes library. The duplicate function appears to have been removed from teh latest version of Itunes. How do I identify and remove multiple duplicates from my library and my music file

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11.0. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

  • Loop Consolidation and Duplicate removal

    I Have loops all over the place from back in the days of Garageband 1. what is the best and easiest way to consolidate and eliminate duplicates?
    Thanks!

    Odd. I just peaked at the machine that has had all version of GB, and I don't recall ever twiddling (technical term) with the loops, and I find only 75MB of loops in the Audio/ directory. Maybe I did mess around at some point since I haven't really used loops
    ¯\(º_o)/¯
          V
    Without really thinking too hard on this, if you really do plan to just lump them all together, it sounds like a simple task. If you drop them all into one folder, duplicates will overwrite themselves since they'll have the same name. Then just delete the loops indexes and let GB re-index. Sound right?

  • Mac Mail (Lion) DUPLICATES remover?

  • Duplicate entry removal

    Currently the omcpany I work for runs corporate time 6. Now don't laugh, we still use netscape 4.8 and the included palm sync (Netscape Calendar Link for Palm Pilot, NCSetup v2). I have a OS 5 palm device. Once a week it seems my conduit craps out and I uninstall and reinstall on the desktop and sometimes the NCSetup on my palm. I then end up with duplicate entries. Is there an automated way to remove duplicates in Corporate Time? My wokr around it to take the palm home sync it using the palm desktop and use the duplicate removal tool. Then bring the Palm to work resync and hope most of the duplicates get removed. We are getting ready to move to Thunderbird. And there is little I can do to influence the IT decisions.

    Hi 52779,
    I'm not sure if this configuration is still supported, but if duplicates are being created, it could be due to a myriad of possibilities, many of which are Palm limitations.
    The oldest supported client is CorporateTime 5.4 (until december), and Oracle Calendar sync for Palm, 3.0.
    There is no automated way to accomplish this, as these meetings are not considered duplicates in the database, but were somehow created as new, replicas of the original, with a distinct UID.
    The method you describe is as good as any...best regards.

  • Remove Duplicate Rows in Numbers 09

    Is there a way to remove duplicate rows in Numbers 09? For example I have 2 Tables and the values of Column A are mainly the same, but there are definitely a few dozen unique values in 1 table which are not in table 2 and visa versa. I'd like to make a new table with a column A with all of the values, but with duplicates removed so that I can then compare the values of a different column based on the value of Column A for each table.

    I copied tabeau 1 and tableau 2 in tableau 3 then in cell E2 of tableau 3 I entered the formula:
    =COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,"="&A)
    Using fillDown, I filled the column E
    I get 0 if the cell a is unique
    I get 1 (or higher) if the cell is available several times.
    Sort upon column E
    delete the rows whose cell E is not 0.

  • Duplicate file detection and removal across multiple volumes?

    hello there
    i use decloner, for duplicate file removal.. it works great for removing duplicates on the same volume, unfortunately, i have a mac pro with multiple hdds and want to run a duplicate search which includes every hard drive, which decloner doesn't seem to do. (some of my hard drives have identical folders and files)
    can anyone recommend me a piece of software that does duplicate removal across multiple volumes?
    many thanks!

    My boss sez "Whew"
    My backup email admin sez "Whew"
    I sez "Whew and Thank You very much"

  • My previous programme to remove duplicate photos from iPhoto will not work in Photos. I feel I was tricked into buying a remove duplicate app from Apple which, after purchase, indicated it is only for iPhoto. Does anyone else have this problem. Does

    There is no Apple provided duplicate remover application. You must have bought a third-party application. Which application is it?
    Photos is very new, and there are only a few apps, that have been updated to handle Photos Libraries are:
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:

  • Help in removing duplicates?

    Does Bridge help automate the task of removing duplicate images as I understand ACDSee does? I know this isn't the right forum, but perhaps someone knows if PS Elements automates duplicate removal? Thanks for your help.

    You could try using Robert Jacobson's script itunes_remove_notfound, or install iTunes Folder Watch and set its option to check for dead tracks on startup, or you can make a set of Lost & Found Playlists and delete what is in lost, assuming you're certain there is nothing in there that you want to repair.
    I've also got a script for cleaning real duplicates. The current version just ignores missing tracks but I'm contemplating an update which would safely eliminate the broken link while preserving ratings, play counts, playlist membership etc, assuming a live duplicate to merge this data to has been found.
