How do i eliminate duplicates of my pictures? My pictures seem to be duplicating on there own. What do I need to do to prevent this?

How do I eliminate my duplicated pictures? They seem to be doing this on their own. I am not sure how this is happening.

Where are you seeing these duplicates?  In iPhoto itself or via the Finder?  If it's via the Finder then you're not getting duplicates.  iPhoto will have at least 2 copies of every photo it imports: the original file and a thumbnail file.  There can also be a modified file if you edit it. 
If you're seeing the duplicates while 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

    All of my duplicates are from CD's that I own and imported myself, not purchased through iTunes.

  • How can I eliminate duplicates in Outlook

    My iPhone 4 and iMac (Outlook) were out of sync. I synced them through iTunes and I now have duplicates in Outlook. How can I eliminate them in Outlook. My thought is to sync my iPhone with Google Contacts, eliminate the duplicates, and somehow load them into Outlook. Is that the best way to go, or is there an easier way?

    If you are trying to sync from the Outlook calendar on the PC and you are syncing with iCloud - that is probably why you are getting duplicate entries.
    So therefore, if you are getting duplicate entries - it must be syncing the Outlook calendar on the PC.

  • How can I eliminate duplicates (specifically the _1, _2 types)

    ITunes seems to create numerous duplicates bearing the original song name but including _1, _2 and so on. Then when I replay an album it repeats these duplicates of he original song. Seems impossible to get rid of.

    You can do this from within iTunes if (a) you have your iTunes updated to the current version, and (b) your Touch is 2nd generation or later.  If you have a 1st generation Touch, then 3.1.3 is as far as you can go.

  • TA24960 I did this but it didn't change my picture on my new MBPro-Retina.  What do I need to do to get this to stick?

    Follow the usual instructions to change the login picture but it's still stuck on the one I took when I first logged into this machine.
    Any other ideas?

    Might try editing it in Address Book, if you haven't.
    Did you reboot or log out/in after the change?

  • How do I eliminate duplicates?

    I have added a library to Itunes because it couldn't find songs.  Now there are 1000 duplicates  If I select the duplicate not linked to the actual file, it appears that it will eliminate that song from my store purchased items?

  • How can I eliminate duplicate Batch Numbers?

    SBO allows serial numbers to be unique, but not batch numbers. The system allows the same batch number to be used for a different part. I have a medical company that requires unique Batch numbers accross the board, regardless of part number. Any suggestions? I tried to do this with a formatted search that would identify a duplicate Batch for me, but my search crashed and burned.
    Here is the Formatted Search I tried to connect to the Batches Setup Form:
    SELECT 'Batch allready used!' FROM IBT1 T0 WHERE T0.[BatchNum] = $[$3.3.0]
    Anyone out there know how to force unique batch numbers?
    Thanks!

    What I am saying is, I never want a duplicate Batch number even if the parts are different. In your example, Item A could not have the same Batch number as Item B. Unfortinately, SBO allows duplicate batch numbers as long as the part numbers are different.
    The reason for this is two fold. 1) This medical company cannot, never have the same batch number, and 2) reporting from the OIBT and IBT1 tables gets a bit complicated with duplicate batch numbers.
    So my thought is to simply create a formatted search which runs from the Batches Setup Form, checking to see if this Batch Number has allready been used, then replacing the entry if TRUE with something like "Batch Allready Assinged".

  • How do i eliminate duplicates in address book/contacts across multiple devices?

    i have old iMac G5,  iPhone4; recently added new iMac, iPad2, & Time Capsule, so i have multiple contacts & address books that i need to consolidate without having 3 duplicates of the same person every time i update? Please help?  Thank You!

    Since upgrading to iPhone 4S and using iCloud, I have eliminated the duplicates in the address book, but not the calendar. Once all devices were setup for iCloud, I had duplicates in address book and contacts on my iPhone. So in settings on the iPhone for iCloud, I turned off calendar and address book. After a few minutes I turned those back on. Then, it synced with iCloud and no duplicates. At least in address book. The calendar continues to display duplicate appointments.
    It's frustrating. Maybe all of us Apple users just don't know how to do this corectly. But it seems like a bug. Otherwise, why not address the confusion in the marketplace and post online training for how to sync all your devices without creating duplicates. Since that solution/training has never surfaced, I say this is a long standing bug in the system and Apple has never figured it out. It remains one of the few complaints I have about Apple. Wish they would get it right.
