How can you EASILY delete duplicate entries

For some reason, I have duplicate entries of most everyone on my iPhone 5S - is there an easy way to delete these instead of going into each duplication and scrolling to the bottom to delete????

Duplicate annihilator is a good tool for finding duplicates - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
If you are seeing them in the finder then don't - you should never go into the iPhoto library using the finder

I have a similar problem.  My point is my photos are not importing as duplicates, they are  duplicating and moving  from one album to another, sometimes bumping the contents of said  folder to another location.  I cannot find a logical explanation.  I tried the trial version of Duplicate Annihilator, but that was a bust since it could locate only five (5) dups.  Any suggestions?          BRENDA Sfrom Charleston

  • How can I easily delete duplicate files in old Time Machine archives?

    I have multiple older Time Machine archives from different Macs that I have been going through manually and picking files out and copying them to another drive file by file. I'm running into massive quantities of duplicate files and the biggest problem is muliple iphoto pictures including the same picture in different sizes.
    I wanted to give up and just throw the whole Time Machine archive onto another disk so I could format the one it was on and use it for something else. But I got a message reading, "The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled." So I went to manually copy each "Macintosh HD" folder for each date into it's their own respective folders. It worked but required my password for each folder and each of the 19 folders were all ~75GB. Which is impossible because all of that data was on a 500GB drive.
    What should I do? This has become a two month long nightmare.

    I really don't know exactly, but since no one else has a answer I'll give it a shot.
    I don't know much about TimeMachine at all, however I did assist someone that their TM was corrupted and they needed to salvage what they could off the drive, so I'll start with that.
    There is software called Data Rescue and it's designed to read the 1's and 0's of any data on the drive, deleted or not, regardless of the file structure, and output the results to another drive.
    TimeMachine tries to save space, so it uses what appears to be duplicate files, but contain no data as they are placemarks for files in later states that went unchanged from the previous states.
    If Data Rescue has the option of recovering files independently of the file/folder structure this would result in all your files from the recoved TM drive being on all one level on the second drive.
    From that second drive one could run software called DeCloner, which would flag the actual duplicate files of content, not just by name.
    The next stage perhaps would be to eliminate files with no data, the placeholders, using the Finder "size" as a sorting option.
    Saving all this remaining content to another drive to work on further, perhaps all the remaining image files can be seperated, sorted according to largest size, the largest ones (usually the ones you want to keep as they contain more quality)  and opened into iPhoto or Aperture for further refinement as you add a small batches of smaller image sizes in to compare with the larger versions for duplicates/unwanted sizes.

  • I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

    I had Iphoto 08 and now is gone, I have looked under applications and is not there. Also most of the pictures are gone. Can you easily delete the application?

    Obviously you can.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

    How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

    You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
    Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1849 how do u easily delete duplicates in your library

    I need help on how to delete duplicates in my library I had all my music from google play put into my itunes and it duplicated so I have two of each song and wish to have all duplicates deleted how do you do this easily?

    Photos does not have a duplicate finder tool built in. You would need a third-party application to track them down, if you do not want to do that manually.
    Try  Powerphotos:

  • HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

    Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

    You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

  • How can I easily delete unwanted system language files?

    There are a bunch of files - some unneeded language files - that take up space on the drive.  Is there some easy way to delete those that I will never use?

    Why do you want to do that? That is not a good idea. They do not take up much space. If you are running out of HDD space look for something else to get rid of.

  • How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

    How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

    Also maybe

  • How to delete duplicate entries in address book

    Is there an easy way to delete duplicate entries in Address Book?

    I have an iPhone where I create new contact details and a MB Air running OX X 10.7.3
    In Address Book I see duplicate entries across the whole book. The other day I was traveling without my MB and needed to urgently reach someone who's number I knew was in my iPhone contact list for sure but searched and search and couldn't find it.
    Turns out that when I had been going through the Adress Book on the MB Air trying to eliminate some of the duplicates I had chosed --without even knowing it or realzing it-- the card that I guess sync with my iPhone. It was gone. Sure enough, when I got back and looked it up on the MB Air it was still there not syncing to my iPhone.
    I have used Address Book / Card / Look for Duplicates ...
    I have also followed the Help suggesting and pressed Control / select to highlight two duplicate cards and even though the First / Last / Company / phone numbers / etc. are all the same I get the message: "The cards could not be merged because they came from different accounts."
    I have checked with guys from the office who have the exact same problem with no idea how to solve the problem.
    Is it that in order to use Address Book on both an iPhone and an OS X machine you've just got to be smarter, more sophisticated, more IT oriented?
    Seems like a pretty easy thing not to be struggling with.
    I should mention that I was a Mobile Me subscriber and now use iCloud which I'm sure has something to do with all of this.
    But it seems pretty basic to me. If I have an Address Book it should synchronize between OX X and IOS.

  • How to delete duplicate entries in match code

    I want to delete duplicate entries in match code.

    If you go down the search exit route, using function module F4_IF_SHLP_EXAMPLE or function module F4_IF_SHLP_EXIT as a template you want it where callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.  You would sort the table: SORT RECORD_TAB BY STRING and then delete adjacent duplicates. If this does not wok because of the fields you have in your search help, you will need to select the data into another internal table and match the relevant entries from your internal table  with the relevant position in field STRING of RECORD_TAB.  The positions in STRING will be as per the order of the parameters  you have defined in the search help.
    Hope this helps.
