HELP! how to delete duplicates in iPhoto?

Every time i update iPhoto i get a number of duplicates (it varies from 1 extra to 12!).  This is not surprisingly REALLY ANNOYING.  How can I automatically delete these.  Manually will take weeks!

Not sure what you are doing but that should not be happening. You need to post exact workflow and details and resolve your actual problem

  • Deleting duplicates in iPhoto 2.0.1

    Hi! Can anyone tell me how to delete duplicate photos from my Photo Library without having to do it manually?
    Every time I import photos from my camera, iPhoto imports all of them - including the ones already in the libary. It doesn't give me the option anymore of not importing the duplicates. I didn't have this problem until my husband (the Mac expert in the house) upgraded our Operating System to Tiger.
    Also, I tried using the "Duplicate Annihilator" software & now have triplicates (in some cases) of the photos.
    Any thoughts on what I did wrong & how to fix it? I have the photos arranged by rolls & would really like to get rid of the duplicates (there are roughly 650 photos in the library). Thanks for your help!

    Hi, Martha. You may want to look into iPhoto Diet and see whether you think it might be useful in your situation (IF it works on iPhoto 2 libraries — it hasn't been tested on them, so duplicate your whole library and use iP Diet only on the duplicate library folder until you know it works).
    Is there some good reason why you leave photos that have already been imported into iPhoto on your camera card, instead of erasing the card in your camera after each import? (Note: if you adopt the practice of erasing after importing, do the erasing using the camera's own controls, NOT through the Mac.

  • Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs will it affect photostream

    Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs I seem to have so many, is this anything to do with photostream as I have an ipad as well. I have over 7000 photos and find it impossible to find them all. When I first got Apple 9 years ago there was a drop down menu that found all duplicates which you could then delete but that was taken off at some point. I would be really gratful for some help i am not savvy with the technical side of computing.

    For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner or iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner or  iPhoto Library Manager

  • HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • Delete duplicates in iPhoto

    Is there an easy way to delete duplicates in iPhoto?

    Well, I welcome your support.
    The program appears to be self explanatory.  If I need to use more advanced options I would love to learn.
    I told the gentleman at Brattoo customer support when I phoned him a couple of days ago  that I dragged the iPhoto library from my pictures folder on the hard drive  onto the program.  It analyzed for about 20 minutes and concluded i have no duplicates.  He replied that the program does not support "in application files". He offered no other options. I assumed that was the only answer.
    I paid for the app so would love to know the truth.  Again I welcome your help. 
    I am glad a representative of the company is monitoring this thread.

  • HT5043 How to delete duplicate photos

    how to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    iPhoto has no built-in duplicate detector. You can spot duplicates by sorting your photos by title or date, or use third-party applications like iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, Photo Sweeper.
    Old Toad has published a great list of apps that can screen your iPhoto Library for duplicates, see this link:
    Re: How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?
    My favourite is Photo Sweeper, because it lets me stay in control of what will be deleted, shows all metadata, lets me define the criteria for marking duplicates, and can recognise duplicates of different sizes, based on histograms or pixel maps.  PhotoSweeper

  • How to delete pictures with iPhoto off your camera roll?

    I bought iphoto to help me organize pictures on my Ipad and Iphone.  I especially like the idea of being able to compair two or more similar pictures and save the best photo and delete the copies that weren't as good.  I liked this feature but then discovered that it was not deleting the pictures off the camera roll. 
    I would love someone to tell me how to delete pictures in iphoto so they are removed from my Camera Roll at the same time.  Being able to look at two pictures at the same time and decide which one you want to keep is great, but if I can't delete the one I don't want it is a waste of time. 

    Titan2,
    Thanks for the reply,  I agree that the Iphoto needs to be the stock app.  Hope it isn't too long.
    Ralph, 
    I agree that the iphoto for the ipad might not be the best place to organize, but when you are retired and traveling you would like to select the pictures you want to keep and not wait until you get home.  The camera roll doesn't let you compair two or more photos to see which one is best,  Iphoto does but I want the poorer photos off the ipad so I don't have to wait until I get home and I want to use the memory for the best photos.   I'm trying to figure out a round about way so I know which ones to delete on the camera roll.
    I thank both of you for your comments.

  • How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

    How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

    The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
    Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?
