How do I bulk delete duplicates in Photos?

Hi, I have plenty of duplicates in mt library. Is there an easy way to delete them?
Best, Olivier

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.

How can I bulk delete 50,000+ photos from Revel online?

I have already deleted the photos in my catalog that were associated with my Revel online Carosel but they are still showing up on the Revel online Carosel via web or iPad. I can delete individual photos or by date through Revel online via the web or iPad but that takes forever. I need a way to bulk delete all Revel Carosel photos that are showing up online.

With so many photos (50,000+) involved, I think it would be in your best interests to post your thread in the Adobe Revel Forum here.

How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
Power photos: Fat Cat Software
Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products

How do i delete duplicates in photo?

I imported a huge folder with pics. Some have duplicated, without going thru all of it, How do i batch delete duplicates in new photo app?

Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
You delete these pica the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselect them in itunes and sync.

How can I easily delete duplicate photos- it appears several events have duplicate photos

how can I easily delete duplicate photos from events- it appears several events are dupicated

I am responding to your reply to davidfrommonterey (Jul9,2011). To quote: "If these are seen in iPhoto it would be good to figure out how they got there since it is typical that iPhoto will not import duplicates.

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

Can I bulk delete duplicate pictures in Elements 11?

I imported about 2600 pictures from iPhoto to Elements 11 on my iMac OS 10.8.2. Now there are hundreds of duplicates; deleting one at a time is a real pain. Can I identify and bulk delete duplicates in Elements 11?

Yes you can select thumbnails in the Organizer and hit delete. Then choose also delete from hard disk.
If you want to use iPhoto it’s best to set up the Elements Editor application for external editing in iPhoto preferences. That will avoid duplication on your hd. See link for notes:

How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found.

I deleted the original files from the Library iTines. The songs are still in the playlist. How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found. Thank.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported them from gmail and hotmail and there are many more than I need. Deleting them one by one will take ages, there must be a quicker way! Also, do contacts take up space on the phone or are they stored remotely?
Thanks.. J

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

How to find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto

How do I fins and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates (free)
HOWEVER, only try the above if you are seeing the duplicates in the iPhoto window. If you are seeing duplicate images via the Finder then you probably do not have duplicates. That's because at a minimum iPhoto will have two separate image files of each photo, the original and the thumbnail file. If the photo is a portrait oriented photo from a camera with the auto-rotate feature there will be a 3rd, modified image file in iPhoto, the rotated version.
So be sure where you're seeing these duplicates.

How to find and delete duplicate photos

I have combined photos from various sources, friends, family, etc. and have found that there are many photos that are the same. I have been trying to find a way to find and delete all the duplicates but am unable to do so.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Many thanks
Roger

There is no automated may to find and delete duplicates, but importing using iPhoto will report duplicates if you attempt to import the same photo twice. I'm not sure if you have photos that are exact duplicates or photos taken on the same occasion but, in any case, it may be a matter of viewing the photos in date order and deleting duplicates as you scroll through. These will stay in the iPhoto trash until emptied.
It may be that this would help, though I haven't used it: http://www.ironicsoftware.com/deep/ (With acknowledgements to Terence Devlin).

How do you mass delete camera roll photos?

I have an iPhone 4 and iPhoto '11. iPhoto crashed and didn't delete all the photos after importing. How do I delete them now?? Don't need them on my phone any more. And there are well over 100 to delete...
Yes, I know how to delete them individually....

I have 7.1 version. I found out what to do. Phone must be plugged into itunes. Go into photo section. Hit the SYNC BUTTON where it says sync photos. A list of photo folders with dates will appear. Put a check in the boxes of the photos you want deleted, THEN HIT THE SAME SYNC BUTTON and itunes will delete photos from phone. THIS SOLVED MY ISSUES. If anyone else has problems, leave a message and maybe I can explain it in more depth. It sounds confusing, but it really isn't. GOOD LUCK.
