Find copies in Iphoto
I now have a huge PhotoLibrary with many duplicate photos in there.
Is there a way to seek out all duplicates in my library and trash or separate them from my file??
Daniel
This is a User to User forum, no one here is, as far as I know, a programmer. If yo want to scan across your disk for duplicate files try using an app like
Duplicate Image Detector.
There are others that will do a similar job, search on MacUpdate.

I have recently had something really odd happen within iphoto. My photos from May-Oct 2013 appeared to be missing from my primary Iphoto library.
last night I was trying to find any additional Iphoto libraries on my Imac... I could not find them... but then somehow the May-Oct 2013 library showed up and now I cannot find the "current" primary Iphoto library. I sought help from apple care today but no solutoin from them after 2 hours trying. I have timemachine that backs up my Imac each day to an external hard drive. When I open Iphoto while holding down the "option" key - it lets me choose which Iphoto library... but only (1) library comes up... I can't figure out what happened - but it seems that I must have more than one Iphoto library because yesterday I was able to see all my photos except the "gap in dates" from May-Oct 2013. Today - I can only open a Library called Iphoto2014... and it contains the photos from the gap in dates. I can't "see" any other options to open photos... but just yesterday there appeared to be a different library available.
Any advice or steps i should take to locate my missing photos - would be soooooo much appreciated.I have recently had something really odd happen within iphoto. My photos from May-Oct 2013 appeared to be missing from my primary Iphoto library.

How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with?
I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
All of the photos I'm using have names.That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message... -
I couldn't find "view in finder" option in iPhoto 11.
When i was using iPhoto 10 I could find an option of "view in finder" if I right-click on a picture. But now I bought iPhoto 11 and installed it in my MacBook Pro. But, I couldn't find "view in finder" option in iPhoto 11. Could you please help me with this?
It's under the File Menu.

I cannot find my current iPhoto Library. I cannot remember the exact message but part of it said that the library might be being used by another application. (Could that be Elements 12)

Is there a way to find doubles in iPhoto
Is there a way to find doubles in iPhoto ?
Very hard to manage all the photos. Many times there is the same photo, and it takes disk space for nothing.
GeorgeThere are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - free
The script only identifies the duplicates and leaves deleteing them up to you. Duplicate Annihilator will identify and move the dulicates to the Trash for you. It'll still be up to you to empty the trash bin.

How can I find photos in iPhoto 4.0.3 from Time Machine? I'm using an eMac with OS X 10.5.8.
Hi Gary,
I never use TM myself...
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

Can't imagine something not being covered there. -
When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps. -
Finder copies wrong data to DVD after 10.4.7 update.
I need to back up data from a Panasonic P2 Store external USB hard drive partitioned into 15 separate drives. The partitioning is a function of the drive that cannot be changed. OSX sees the partitions as No Name 1, 2, 3 etc.
When I copy the contents of a partition over to a blank DVD-R, finder copies the contents of No Name 1, regardless of which partition I dragged over. This behavior started with the update to 10.4.7, I have over a hundred DVD's burned in this way under 10.4.6 without a problem.
I have posted screen capture video of the problem to youtube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PThAKQcfhOI
Is there a way to revert to 10.4.6 or can the problem in 10.4.7 be addressed? I can use Toast as a work around and thankfully, the bug does not effect copying the cards to another drive, only through the Finder Burn DVD window.
Thanks,
Filmstox
Dual 2.3 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Panasonic P2 Store
Dual 2.3 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hard disks can fail at anytime. And 3 GB is really not enough. Mac OS X needs space to build its swap file. And the more widgets you add, and third party software addons you add, the more space it needs for memory. The Finder crashing is usually an indication that the cache or preference files are getting corrupt, or not visible to the system due to directory issues, or hardware related causes such as a failing hard drive, or even more finicky issues with SCSI drivers. Let me say this much, I've seen SCSI fail really badly in the past, and worst it isn't all that hot swappable as Firewire is. If the terminator is failing or it is not properly terminated SCSI can be a real pain. I've also seen external hard drives which are searchable with Spotlight cause the Finder to freeze or crash and have kernel panics. Add the non-boot drives to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to see if that makes a difference. While it won't be searchable with Find File or Spotlight, you could always use an application like Devon Technologies Easy Find (freeware) instead replace it, if that is important to you.

Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)
No -- iPhoto does not ever touch an photo file that is not within its database
THis is one (of the minior) resaons that it is very strongly advised not to uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it makes importing and deleting more difficult and makes upgrading or replacing defective hardware much, much more difficult

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

Is in Adobe Forms with ZCI "ActiveX" mandatory?
Hi, I am wondering if in ZCI Adobe Forms ActiveX is still necessary? I hoped it was not, because our customer doesn't allow ActiveX. I thought when I have a native Form in my Web Dynpro Java I would NOT need ActiveX Controls in the browser any more.
