  • How do i find duplicates in iPhoto?

    i took a ton of photos while in Paris both with my Nikon D7000 and my iPhone  I imported them into iPhoto 11 and how they're all jumbled together but I think there are duplicates, how do i find them?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to find duplicates in iPhoto?

    I know very little about iPhoto, but am trying to help a friend (iBook G4, iPhoto 6) who has a lot of duplicate photos in her iPhoto library. Is there a way to search for all the duplicates, so they can be removed?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    iPhoto 6 had a problem comparing duplicates when importing from a different volume. This was fixed in later versions. As iPhoto 6 hasn’t been developed since 2006 I wouldn’t hold out much hope for an update.

  • How do I find duplicate photos in iPhoto

    I have so many duplicates in iPhoto that my library files is way too large by thousands of photos. I need to find a way to weed out duplicate photos. Anyone know how?
    Thanks,
    Barb

    Where are you seeing these duplicates?  If you're seeing them from withing the iPhoto window then you can use one of the apps listed below.
    If you're seeing those "duplicate" files via the Finder then you don't have duplicates.  iPhoto will have a minimum of 2 files in it's lbrary for each file imported.  So don't relay on what you see via the Finder regarding duplicates in the iPhoto library.

    hese 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
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo 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 the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  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 most versatile and best all around iPhoto utility to have.

    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.

  • What is the best app for identifying and removing duplicates from iPhoto Libraries/Pictures?

    I have five iPhoto Libraries (original, default merged, etc.)  I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager, but I seem to be digging a deeper hole.  Also, question about the 15,000 faces:  Are these taking up space on my hard drive?  I gather I cannot easily remove them from libraries.  Taking photos at concerts, sporting events, etc. just creates more faces in iPhoto;  frankly, I could do without ANY FACE DETECTION!

  • I want to use The Duplicate Finder to get rid of duplicates in iphoto. I created a library as a folder on my desktop.  Should I trash the photos in iphoto before I run the duplicate finder?

    I want to use The Duplicate Finder to get rid of duplicates in iphoto. I created a library as a folder on my desktop and droped it into Dupe Finder.  Many dupes were found.  Before I have it auto select dupes, should I trash the photos in iphoto?  Or will Dupe Finder do that for me automatically?

    1 - if you want to remove duplicates from your iPhoto library you would not be using a copy of it
    2 - don't do anything without a good, current backup
    3 - reading the Duplicate Finder web site does not tell me tha tit is safe to use on the iPhoto library - i suggest you use one of the known good and tested duplicate eliminations programs - see this discussion for links - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24363132#24363132
    4 - One cardinal rule - NEVER make any chnages to the structrure or content of the iPhoto library using any porogram (including the finder) other than iPhoto - the programs listed in the linked discussion use iPhoto to do the deleting

  • Can iPhoto find Duplicate Photos

    Can iPhoto find Duplicate Photos like iView Media can? I don't mean finding duplicate names, but rather analyzing the actual photo itself and finding doubles.
    Strangly enough, this is one of the remaining reasons for me needing to use iView for some tasks.
    Powerbook G4    

    No, iPhoto hasn't this functionality. It would be a nice feature though.
    You can also use GraphicConverter to find your duplicate photos.

  • Is there a way to find duplicate photos in iPhoto?

  • How do I find duplicates in photos

    How do I find and delete duplicate pictures in the new Apple Photos?
    I have just realised what a scam Apple are. They keep telling me my iCloud is full and want to sell me space but they also managed to turn my 5000 pictures into more than 57,000 when they were uploaded from iPhoto to Photos.
    Was this product designed by 3year olds? In an age of digital cameras, previous backups and a world that existed before Apple decided was the birth of the internet age, and they design a new product that duplicates everything, has no way of recognizing or eliminating these duplicates and then they want to charge me for the privilege of storing the 50,000 plus photos they created like I want a backup of it all.
    We left Microsoft to get away from their rubbish, only to now find Apple are serving up the same rubbish and want to charge us a monthly storage fee.
    Frustrated and waiting for Apple's successor.

  • How do I find duplicate images in Aperture?

    How do I find duplicate images in Aperture AFTER importing my entire library from iPhoto? There must be a way to do that, right?
    Please let me know the secret.
    Thanks!

    Léonie,  Thank you for your rapid reply!
    I am using Aperture Version 3.4.3 and 9.4.2.  I downloaded the Duplicate Annihilator but it gives me an error message that says this:
    I have no idea what that is all about since I am using this library in iPhoto and Aperture. I already sent the company an email asking about the problem.
    I am seeing dupes that came from my original photos in iPhoto and from iPhoto PhotoStreams with monthly dates; these are listed in my Apertrure Projects listing. Is there a way to SAFELY dump these dupes?
    Thanks!
