How do I delete duplicate photos from my iPhone 6?

I have double the amount of pictures on my iPhone 6, which I actually should have. (Over 11,000). I did have "save original photo" with HDR off but have since turned it off. When I synced via iTunes with iPhoto Libray a couple weeks ago, somehow the files doubled to over 11,000.
I have since deleted all my duplicates in my iPhoto Library but can't figure out how to delete from the phone.
I am not using iCloud Photo but do have Photostream activated.
How can I access my duplicates and automatically delete them?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just in case you're confused about what you see inside your Photo app ...
You have sync'd a set of pictures from your Mac to your iPhone. These appear as an Album within the Photo app on your iPhone.
There is also the "Photos" category within the Photo app, and that is a summary of all your sync'd albums (if you had more than one) plus what is in your Camera Roll. The Photos category lets you look at all pictures that are loaded onto your iPhone.
So pictures you sync from your Mac will appear in at least two places -- the album you sync'd and the overall summary in "Photos", but these are not duplicates of the same pictures, just different ways to access the same picture.

How do I delete duplicate songs from my iphone 4s

I have tried re-syncing with my iTunes on my PC and it doesn't work. Just says "syncing" and quickly goes through the steps, and everything on the iphone is still the same. I can delete albums from my collection on my PC and they delete from the iphone, but the duplicate songs are not showing up on the PC and they are in the phone and I can't see any way to get rid of them without deleting the whole album from my collection.

I just had this happen when I wanted "normalized" music on my iPhone because I am no satisfied with sound check. All my songs still had different volumes. I turned off the cloud on my phone and added music with USB. I turned the cloud back on and I got the duplicate issue. Here is what I did to fix it:
Turn off Match on phone
Update match in iTunes from the "store" menu (see below for why this might be REALLY important.
Connect phone
Check "manually manage" in iTunes from the first tab when you click your phone in the left pane
Open the "tree" for you iPhone in iTunes by clicking the triangle.
Select "music" in that tree.
Delete all the Music from the phone.
Sync it.
Eject phone.
Turn match back on and download music via the iPhone but this takes a while.
or I just reconnected it, then went to the music tab for the phone ticked the sync option and checked the playlists I wanted. I synced it. I then made sure "manually manage" was checked in first tab, then went into the left pane and deleted the playlists. This leaves the music on the iPhone but not the playlists. I ejected and turned on match on the phone.
My guess is there is a glitch where identical playlists from the cloud seemed to conflict with the ones physically on the phone and / or iTunes match could not match the physical files on the phone. It seems my metadata for the files "seemed" different than the ones in the cloud. Running RealPlay gain on my library is suspect for my issue so if something happened on your computer that changed the data about your files even without you knowing, this might be the issue. It is merely a hypothesis but it seems logical. Resyncing match then putting the newly understood match on the phone seems to resolve my issue.

How do I delete all photos from the iPhone?

Hi,
I want to delete all the photos from my iPhone4 running iOS5. I have copied all the photos on my HDD. I cant use the individual delete process as i have almost 2500 images.
Thanks and Regards,
SatyajeetB

Delete the pictures in the "camera roll" using computer.
On Windows:
Open up the DCIM folder from "My computer", select all the pictures/videos (Ctrl + A) and hit delete.
You could have selected the option "erase after importing" while importing the pictures on to your HDD.

How do I delete all photos from iOS7 iPhone

I have about 40GB of videos and images on my iPhone.
How can I delete all of them at once?

Thanks - the part with " Image Capture" App works fine.
On iOS7 the described option is no available so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to delete all images.

How do I delete duplicate songs from my iPhone 5s?

Almost all of my itunes music shows up twice on my iPhone, but not in my iTunes library. I've tried to delete one of the duplicates from my actual iPhone, but that doesn't work. How do I fix this?

Hello jojorey,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It looks like you are deleting your song correctly. The cloud and arrow is indicating that the song is no longer on your iPhone, but remains available from iCloud. See this:
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.

How can i delete these photos from my iphone?

I had to do a dfu reset on my phone (without restoring a backup) to fix a data problem i was having, so i have spent the past week manually backing up specific app data that i can't live without (such as the songs i have written/recorded with garageband) and my notes and contacts and photos...etc to my computer. I did that with a program called iexplorer. Then after the restore i had to get all that stuff back on my phone and it's all been sorted out so far except this problem i encountered with my photos: i wanted my photos back in the camera roll just like they were before the reset and the only program i could find to do this was "iFunBox". I started with the first folder of about 70 pics, the import appeared successful from my computer, then i looked on my phone and it did not show them in the camera roll or even a folder beside camera roll (under the albums tab), but when i switched the tab to photos it showed them all there. But the strange part is i am unable to delete them and it shows the date as 1947, which obviously isn't right. In itunes it also does not show the pictures, even in iFunBox it doesn't show them. I tried syncing my photos with an empty album and it did nothing. How can i get rid of these photos without having to do another factory reset? And once i get them off, how do i get all my photos back onto the camera roll? Emailing them isn't an option because i have over 1500 pictures and emailing them 21 at a time is simply not going to happen. Please help!!

If the photos were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, you have to sync them off to remove them (by deselecting them on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing).

How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

How do I delete duplicate songs from my iphone???

This is the 3rd iPhone I've lost, and now there are TONS of duplicate songs in my iTunes library.
How do I get rid of the duplicates so I can transfer them to my iphone? Please help! I'm not too tech savvy.
Thanks!

When you're looking at the "song" section of your iPhone, you want to swipe to the right on the song you wish to remove. A red button should pop up saying "delete". When you click that button, the song will no longer be there.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

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 the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. 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 to remove a duplicate photo from an album. Photo sweeper says there are no duplicates in photos

how can I remove duplicate photos from albums, I have removed 2000 duplicates from iphoto using photo sweeper. still duplicates in my album.

thanks, but in my albums trash is greyed out and hitting delete does nothing..
Is your album a smart album? You can only remove photos from smart albums by changing the smart rules for the album.
If I move the duplicate to another new album, can I then trash the new album?
It is still not clear, what duplicates you are asking about. Photos in albums are not duplicates. Albums are showing you the same photos you are seeing in your events, just grouped differently for easy access. You can delete any album completely and will still have the same photos in your iPhoto library.
If Photo sweeper says,"there are no duplicates", you probably really do not have duplicates in your iPhoto library.
You only have duplicates, if you are seeing identical photos twice in events, but not, if you you are seeing the same photo once in an album and once in an event. You can check that, by ctrl-clicking any photo in an album and selecting "Show Event". Then you will see, what the event is, that is containing this particular photo.
