Getting rid of duplicate photos?

After several issues with OSX I have had to burn all my photos to cd and reload them. I seem to have duplicates of most of them in iphoto.
Is there any easy way of getting iphoto to find tha pics that it's duplicated and simply go through them and delete them ( in a similar way to importing them and clicking don't import duplicates)?

Try Duplicate Annihilator

  • Get rid of duplicate photos

    Does anyone know how to get rid of my 1500+ duplcate photos in iPhoto.  Somehow when the folks at Applie transfered my files to my new Mac I ended up with a great deal of duplicates.
    Thanks,
    NancyElegante

    1 - what exactly was done? I suspect that the transfer was done totally incorrectly and that you have two or three different versions (not duplicates) of each photo and that all events, albums, projects etc are gone
    2 - for dealing with duplicates iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or Duplicate Annihilator are good

  • How do i get rid of duplicate photos in iphoto

    i have seen many different posts related to this topic but most contradict themselves.  i am seeing many suggestions to use duplicate anihaltor and then posts that says the actual support people of the product say it doesn't work.  any ideas?  and ideas about how to make it stop happening once i get rid of the duplicates?  I am also trying to figure out how to get iphoto not to pick up every piece of clipart or phone icon etc that crosses its path.  my iphoto is a HUGE mess and i am trying to clean it up...48K pictures...

    Do you have a back up of the iPhoto library from before the crash?

  • Recommend Software to Get Rid Of Duplicate Photos

    Help !!!
    I now have duplicate to triplicate photos in iPhoto and Adobe Organizer & Lightroom. What software programs can you recommend that are easy, preferably free to find the dups? I anxiously await your replies. Thanks !!! 

    You can use my app Decloner free of charge for 30 days. It can find and delete duplicates in iPhoto. Decloner doesn't officially support Lightroom yet, but if you know where the photos are located, you can choose that folder and look for duplicates across both your iPhoto library and Lightroom pictures folder at the same time. Email me if you have any problems with Decloner.

  • Anyway to get rid of duplicates, photo, software, and documents, without having to buy software?

    Subject says it all. Seems to me I read a post some time ago that we can do this without going through the infamous MacKeeper.

    Just an overdue "ps". I forgot to mention that there was somewhat of a viral rant on MacKeeper (with which I heartily concur) and that OS X software provided all that was needed to do much of the above work. Of course, I forgot what that was.
    However, I did purchase, after reading a bucket of reviews, "Tidyup" that appears to be the first, user-friendly, non-obliterating software that does exactly what you want it to. With my first use, I dumped 4 gigs of duplicates without the color draining experience of losing lifetime photographs (can you say, "Spring Cleaning"?).

  • 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

    How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

    Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone.  It is simple when you know how.  Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac.  When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences.  I just disabled one of them.  Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

  • HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    Hello rmunsey,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
    If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    Adding music and other content to iTunes

    Next, you can search for duplicates:
    Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

    This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

    I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

    Just what did you do to the computer?
    It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

  • I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
    There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

  • HT4236 How do I get rid of the photo stream on my iphone 5?!!!

    How do I get rid of the photo stream on my iphone 5? Loads of weird icons I don't want/need.  Tx

    On your iOS device, you can remove photos from the Photo Stream view by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this at Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    If you added any Photo Stream photos to other albums or the Camera Roll on your iOS device, you can locate and delete these photos manually.

  • How to find/get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11?

    I have to many duplicates on iTunes, and i know there was an option before to find and get rid of duplicates on the old version of itunes. is there a way to do it on the new iTunes 11?

    Apple has removed that feature along with several others, but
    (5/12/2012) Missing 'Find Duplicates' feature in iTunes 11 to be restored - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57557280-263/missing-find-duplicates-featur e-in-itunes-11-to-be-restored/    "Some of the features Apple has removed from iTunes will see a return, but others may indicate changes to come elsewhere in Apple's product lines."
    Until then you will have to resort to sorting by a particular label such as artist and manually scanning, third party utilities such as Dougscripts Dupin to deal with duplicates, or revert back to iTunes 10.7.
