How do I delete all corrupted duplicates from iphoto '09?

Hello.
I am not a computer person so before I say anything, just please don't allow your disdain of me to come through in your replies.
Somehow I have 44,000 images in my iPhoto library and I am guessing that half of them are corrupted duplicates (and triplicates, etc.) that won't even open. I also have the original images in the library which are not corrupted.
My question is how do I delete all the corrupted duplicates and simplify the library so that there are NO duplicates? I have no reason to have any duplicates.
Also, these corrupted duplicates may have been mistaken for the real photos and the real photos (some of them) are now sitting in the Trash folder.
I have made a mess of things. Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you in advance,
Haley

Did you import an old iPhoto library into this iPhoto library?

How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
Thanks!

Greetings austinfromdellslow,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to store your purchases movies on an external hard drive. To do this, first you will need to download your purchased content from the cloud to the iTunes library on your computer.

Once your media folder is complete with the downloaded content, you can move that iTunes media folder to your external hard drive using the information in the attached article below.

How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.

I have all the photos/videos saved to Dropbox, now how do I delete all the photos from my iPhone & iPad Camera Roll/Photo Stream? I want to delete all the photos/videos at one time, is this possible?

Connect to you're laptop. If you are using Windows:
Click "File Explorer"
Click "Computer"
Click the iPhone
Find "Camera Rolll"
Select all of the photos and delete them.
For Mac:
No idea how macs work but it should be something like the instructions for Windows :-/
As far as Photo Stream, they will automatically be deleted after 30 days and they do not take up iCloud space so you have nothing to worry about.

How do we delete all the duplicate songs?

we have been coping our C Ds and found that we have tons of duplicate songs . how do we delete all the duplicates?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Note also that I don't consider the same song appearing on different albums to be duplicates.

I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
Plug your phone into the computer.
I-Tunes should open.
Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
Select Music in the sidebar.
In the right window, your music should appear.
De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
Voila.
