How do i find and delete duplicate images in Photos? Help please!!

With all the image sharing me and other half do my Photos library is FULL of duplicate images.. I need a quick and easy way to find and delete them. I've tried a couple of the free apps in the app store, but because the Photos library isn't a regular folder, they won't work! My library is way to
big to manually scan through too.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
Best regards,
Anders

  • HELP!! How can I find and delete duplicate mp3 files.

    I have a zillion copies of songs and I want to find and delete duplicate mp3 files. I have used MediaRage to find the duplicate files (16 thousand or so) but it can't delete them. It will take a million yrs to delete them manually. Does anyone know a way to do this quickly or a program that will do this for me. I have a 15 in Powerbook with OS 10.5.3
    Thanks so much if you can help.

    This site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ has hundreds of scripts (small programs that do stuff) for iTunes.
    Bound to be something there for you.

  • How do I find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    I have used iPhoto for many years and I have quite an extensive collection (13k+) and I am sure that I have many many duplicates. Is there a way to find and delete simply any duplicates that have consumes my library?

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

  • How can i find and delete duplicate emails on my mac

    I use Apple Mail, Gmail and a third party email on my few Apple devices (iMac and Macbook Air both running Mavericks and iPhone 4s running current version iOS). 
    I would like to sort through, locate and delete duplicate emails (from several misguided approaches to Rules, Mailboxes, Smart Mailboxes, etc.)

    Hi,
    Presuming the Post is about the Messages app and iMessages.
    If you delete them they are gone or the Mac.
    An iMessages arrives  and is displayed in the App.
    there is a setting in the Preferences > General section about Saving on Close.
    The iMessages are also stored in the chat.db items (unless deleted) and this provides the "history" when you reconnect to a contact who is not currently on display in the main window.
    In Mavericks Saved Chats and the chat.db items (there are three in total) are held in different places.
    The app does not work like Mail where the emails can be left on the Server and "read" by other devices.
    The iMessages are pushed to the devices that then accepts them.
    After that the "sync" function ends (What you do with the iMessages on one device is not seen or changed on another)

  • I'm struggling to find a way to find and delete duplicate images

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to a newer iMac and Aperture 2 to handle my growing library of photos. Since I started college two years ago, I've taken close to 20,000 images. I stored and organized those as I always had with my others in iPhoto. Now when I imported my iPhoto library (~30,000 images) into Aperture, I made sure to click the "do not import duplicates" box. However, as I scrolled through the library, just checking, I came across what has to be several hundred duplicate images that were created whenever I rotated my photos in iPhoto.
    Strange thing is, it didn't happen with my new images. These are all old jpeg images.
    I'm not sure (and I doubt) if it has anything to do with the new photos being in RAW format, but regardless, it's taking up a lot of space.
    Is there a way to search for and delete these duplicates? I noticed it made a stack for each image with the original and the rotated version, if that means anything.
    Just something to enter in the search box or whatever to bring them all up and delete them would be great, because I've been trying forever and asking around and haven't found a solution.
    One other small question: If I've backed up my Aperture library using Time Machine, does it make any sense to make a Vault on another (or the same) drive?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chris

    Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them.  You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
    However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

  • How do I find and delete large images in iPhoto 11?

    Hi!
    I have a large iPhoto library containing more than 16000 images, among them a slew of HD movies. Some of these images and movies can be deleted and I would like to find the largest ones in order to save them on an external drive and remove them from the library. Is there any way to sort all images by filesize?
    Thanks for any help!
    Kind regards,
    Anders

  • How do i find and delete duplicate files

    I know that I have many duplicate downloads (particularly Adobe Reader Files) that I would like to trash.
    Is there an easier way to find duplicates other than opening them all and comparing them?

    In unix you can use a combination of ls and diff.
    Unfortunately Apple is notorious for creating crippleware, so they have only provided this function in iPhoto and maybe iTunes.  There is no easy Finder solution, such as would make sense as part of Smart Folders!

  • How do I find and delete duplicate files safely?

    In looking in "all files", I see that I have several duplicate of files; sometimes two, sometimes three of the same file. I somehow did this when transferring my files to this new Mac, but never the less, I would like to clean this up. Is there an app that would safely do this? There must be a better way than just looking through and cleaning this up manually....Please help, and thank you in advance!

    I can't recommend an application, but suggest you avoid applications like CleanMyMac, MacKeeper, and other cleaning programs. They usually cause more harm than good.
    EasyFind works pretty well at finding files.

  • Find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    How do I find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    Here is a list of applications will help identify and 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 the library.
    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 there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  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.
