How can I delete duplicates automatically?

I find that I have inadvertently duplicated numerous photos in iPhoto. I could try to delete them one by one but that is tedious. Is there a simple work around? I have an IMac with OSX Version 10.9.4 and iphoto version 9.5.1. Thank you.

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.

How can I delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

How can i delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?

How can I delete duplicats songs in my libary

How can I delete duplicates in my libary

i found probably the easiest way to do this with out even displaying the duplicates and deleting them one by one
well most of them got deleted i went from over 1900 duplicates to 83 but i think that might of been because i might have duplicates in my music folder
first of all
delete all of your songs in your libary but one
then open your folder with all your music files
from there select all of your songs and drag them into your itunes libary
now all you duplications will be gone
if the song you kept in your libary got duplicated just delete that one it didnt for me though

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Regards,
Jeremy

Two of my events are duplicated in my event browser. This includes duplicates of all clips. How can I delete one copy of each?

Very simple.
In the Event Browser, click (to select) the Event you wish to remove.
Then you have a few options:
--> Command + backspace
--> File > Move Event to Trash
Or...
Right click/CTRL click/two-finger click (if on a trackpad) the Event you wish to remove and choose "Move Event to Trash" from the contextual pop-up menu.
Done.

How can I delete duplicate music albums from my iPad 2?

After installing iOS 7, I needed to sync some itunes music to my iPad2. After running the sync process, I wound up with 64 albums instead of the 24 listed in my itunes account. For some very strange reason, the music albums were duplicated (I am NOT making this up!!).
I can only delete ONE song at a time, BUT when I delete a song from one album, it is also deleted from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th duplicate albums. I am reading to toss itunes and the iPad both!!! If I didn't love reading books on my iPad, I think I would toss it at this point. If I continued to delete one song at a time, wouldn't I eventually delete ALL the songs???? ARRRRRGH!!
In addition, I have been searching for 2 days for any other iPad users who may have had this happen to them, but I have found nothing on the discussion site. ALL I have found is the suggestion to delete ONE song at a time. HELP!! I have seen questions similar to this regarding iPhones and iPods.

I have same problem, you can only delete one song at a time but if you chose the one without the icloud on the right, slide finger from right to left on the song, red delete box appears, click delete, this will remove that song only and leave the other icloud songs in place. Long job, put coffee machine on, worked for me, good luck
