How do i delete all duplicates in my iphoto ?

I have so many duplicates of photos on my iphoto on my macbook pro and on my iphone and I want to find an easy way to delete all duplicates in one easy step instead of going through 4,000 pictures.

There is no way to compare for duplicates across threetwodevices running two different OSes and applications.
Some apps for dealing with duplicates in iPhoto on your Mac:
iPhoto Library Manager
Duplicate Annihilator
Decliner
iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner

  • Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    After I had updated to Itunes 11 (also on Windows 7), I had the same experience, but I suspect that it was because I accepted a proposal to set up an external media library in order to simplify security backups. An associated result was that I had lost all of my playlists!
    What I did was to restore the entire library off my Ipod, using a very good program called PodToPC (a free download is available) selecting an option to replace all of the stuff in the Itunes library. I use the Ipod Classic simply because it has a large capacity to hold my collection of CD and Vinyls. No way was I going to modify duplicates of 10000 tracks in 750 playslists by hand!  I did have a few residual problems with some of the playlist specs but, after a few hours of work all was restored.
    I hope this is useful.

  • Automatic Delete all duplicate photos in IPhoto ?

    How can I delete all duplicate photos in my I Photo ? I have 6000 photos with many duplicates.

    Where are you seeing these duplicates? In iPhoto or via the Finder? If it's in iPhoto then try using Duplicate Annihilator. It can detect and identify duplicated image files that have been imported into iPhoto.
    If it's via the Finder then it's very likely you don't have true duplicates like you think you do.

  • How do I Delete all Duplicate Photos?

    I have several copies of the same photos in iPhoto and under Pictures in the HD. I am not sure how they got duplicated in the first place, but there has got to be a simple way to delete all duplicates, right? I have like 10,000 images and many of them are duplicates, and many of them are images from my text books that I do not want.
    I have iWork and MobileMe if that helps at all...

    I don't know. They all claim to find duplicate files. The poster will need to read the Read Me files to confirm if the duplicates inside the iPhoto library folder are included.

  • My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

    My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

    In particular:
    Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
    * On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
    You could also check out Doug's Scripts for useful tools.

  • How do I locate all duplicate photos in iPhoto library?

    I wish to delete all duplicate photos in my iPhoto (version 9.6) library. How can I id all duplicates in the library?

    iPhoto does not have built-in tools to detect and remove duplicates, because the Import panel will show an alert, when you try to import duplicate photos.
    If you managed to import the same photos twice, you can either remove them manually by sorting the photos by date, so duplicates will show side-by-side, or use third-party apps like iPhoto Library Manager, Photo Sweeper, etc.
    See Old Toad's list at this link:  How to delete .jpg files
    if you are new to iPhoto, you may be assuming there are duplicate photos, because iPhoto will show the same photos in different views - the Events view, Photos View, Last Import, Albums, all will be showing the same photos in different arrangements, but these photos are not duplicates, just different ways to access the same photos.

    How can I delete duplicates in my library all at once ?

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

  • How can I delete all duplicate frames in a clip?

    I'm working with footage captured from a game engine on a Mac.  When the graphics processing get's intense the graphics card struggles to keep up.  What ends up happening is that the card continues to output every frame (e.g., it does not skip frames) but is only able to do so at a reduced pace - say, five frames a second.  The screen cap software just captures at a predetermined rate - say, thirty frames per second.  The result is that the captured clip has loads of sequential duplicate frames.  The good thing is that since no frames were skipped you get a buttery-smooth playback if you manually (tediously) remove every single duped frame.
    So, is there any tool that will automate this process?  There is a script that does exactly what I need called Duplicate Frame Remover available at Duplicate Frame Remover - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com but sadly, this script is not compatible with After Effects CC.  Can anyone think of any other option for After Effects or Premiere?  Ideally this would cut out the audio for the duped frames as well.
    Thanks,
    Hales

    The frame rate varies depending on what's happening in the simulation, and there is a clock in the scene, so I have verified that when you remove duplicate frames manually you get a clip where one second=one second and perfectly smooth playback.  I'm running dual GTX 980s in SLI, so faster card isn't really feasible.  In any case the capture is of an intense physics simulation and I've since determined that the graphics aren't the bottleneck, rather the CPUs are - and those are equally muscular, so not a lot of room for improvement there either.  Anyway, as I said above, a tool exists, it's just not compatible.  I was just hoping someone else had picked up the gauntlet and written a similar script that works with CC.

  • Delete all duplicates in iTunes at once

    In iTunes 12.1.0.50 on a Mavericks iMac, how can I delete all duplicate songs at once?

    Realize the link to which ChitlinsCC posted is in the iTunes for Windows forum. It mentions a script which will only work in Windows iTunes.  I have not used it but the Dougscripts web site includes a tool for removing duplicates which works on Macs.
    Do heed turingtest2's warnings about blindly removing duplicates. There are several kinds of duplicates and deleting some may result in both disappearing completely from your computer.  I find in the normal course of things I generate only one or two duplicates per year. If you are finding many more then we need to review what is going on with your computer to generate all the extras.

  • 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 to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

    How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: 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 such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    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, this post for detailed instructions, 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.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync my contacts and it has resulted in doubling and now tripling the

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

  • I have plenty of duplicated contacts in I cloud. How can I delete all the contacts in the cloud and resynchronize

    I synchronized my contacts from my PC to I cloud. Unfortunately the contacts from I pad and I phone were also synchronized which gives me plenty of duplicates. How do I delete all of my contacts in I cloud to resynchronze and have the contacts only once in the I cloud.
    Thank you for your valuable information. I am sure I am not the only one.

    I have two groups on the iphone that were automatically generated: icloud and "on my mac".
    when I erased all contacts on the computer and synchronized it with the phone, it only synchronized the icloud contacts but no the ones on my phone under "on my mac". so how can I get them into the icloud group....
    thx
