How do i find & remove duplicated source .jpg files?

i have a number of duplicate copies of .jpg picture files which, when imported into iphoto, are fairly easy to identify as duplicates, thus cleaning up my iphoto library. however, i would like to remove the duplicate source files as well just to tidy up. (2 notes, maybe helpful in formulating an answer: i already have backups of all my photo .jpgs. i do not use time machine.)
thanx

Try either Duplicate Annihilator or iPhoto Diet. I'd make a temp backup of you library before running either just in case the results are not what you want.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

    I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

    If you're talking about a photo, tap on the thumbnail in the Messages App, then at the bottom of the screen, you should see an icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing out of it. Tap that, and you will have the option to save it.

  • I have a file it has a Hold - There are a number of holds in the hold list how do i find out which one this file has

    Hi
    I have a file which has a Hold.
    However, It could be one of a number of Holds as defined by the Holds list. How do I (ideally in PowerShell) find out which hold is being used to hold the file and how can I remove that Hold from the file so I can change it and re-apply the hold ?
    Thanks
    Nigel

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove Hold from the file.
    If an item has been added to more than one hold, you can view the list of holds that pertain to that by using the Compliance Details command.
    Open the list or library that contains the item for which you want to view the hold information.
    Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
    On the Compliance Details dialog, click Add/Remove from hold.
    On the Hold Status page, click the arrow under the Remove from hold option to view a list of holds the item is associated with.
    You can use the Compliance Details command to remove an individual item from a hold.
    Open the list or library that contains the item that you want to remove from a hold.
    Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
    In the Hold Status section, click Add/Remove from a hold.
    On the Item Hold Status page, select the Remove from hold option and then select the hold from which you want to release the item.
    Click Save.
    For more information, you can refer to:
    Create a hold to suspend documents or items

  • How do I find out if a class file has deprecated functions

    Currently I'm having problems with a old Visual Cafe class.
    It is definately using deprecated awt funcions.
    My question is..
    1) Without the source code how do I find out what deprecated functions the CLASS file is using.
    2) Has any deprecated class been truly scrapped ? If so, I cannot find
    it in the JDK API documentation or the java.sun.com search engine..

    Here is what I did, to answer your question. I unzipped the symantec jar and used a decompiler (JAD works fine, or cavaj) to create an entire src tree (you can do this with 1 command). Then, compile using your target version of Java. There are well over 100 warnings (with -deprecation on) ranging from Cafe's use of awt.Component methods (mostly), Thread.suspend in their Timer class, to the use of java.util.Date in their Calendar component.
    Cheers!

  • How do I find and free the hidden files on external drive?

    I cannot see , or free, space on my external drive.
    It is a Seagate Freeagent 500 GB disk. I am using 100GB for photos and music. Only 38 MB are reported free. How can I reclaim the rest of the space?
    I had used in the past as Time machine backup. To create space I moved to trash the file Backups.backupd (as I now have another disk for Time Machine). I can't see this file in the Trash, and I can't see the space in Finder. How do I find / free the space?
    The disk format is MAC OS Extended journaled. Disk utility reports no errors. I have run verify and fix, and also erase free space, with no result.
    Thank you for your help.

    Erase free space only wipes clean the 38 MBs that are already free. Click here to see hidden files.
    However, I'd just make a copy of the 100 GBs in use, and then complely wipe the disk.
    Don't try to delete the Backups.backupd folder by Finder. It's not a good idea to mix Finder and TM.

  • I am suddenly having a problem when trying to open a .tif file in Adobe bridge. The picture opens in firefox. It never did this before. How do I get my .tif and .jpg files to open in bridge?

    I open Photoshop cs5 version of bridge. Go to a folder that contains photos in .tif, ljpg, etc. file types. When I click on a .tif or .jpg file that I want to open in the raw window of bridge (which it has done for the past year) in opens instead in firefox. How do I stop this from happening????

    It sounds like a problem with Photoshop rather than with Firefox. I suggest posting it on their forum @ http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop

  • How do i find out the speed of file transfers

    Hi all, first i have to admit i dont actually have a Time Capsule, i have a Western Digital MyBookLive with which i backup my MacBookPro using Time Machine.
    I have also upgraded my Router to one with Gigabit LAN, my MacBookPro is gigabit and so is my WD MyBookLive gigabit !!!.
    I already realise that file tranfers can in NO WAY can get anywhere near gigabit speeds, but, neverthless how do i find out how fast my gear does transfer files ?.
    I am currently backing up using TimeMachine using a wire, i would like to see the actual difference between Wired and Wireless transfers.
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated !. thanks for looking.

    woweee, thanks for that buddy, i should have thought of that, thanks.
    I bet you guessed it already ?.
    Can someone explain all the information shown in the Activity Monitor
    I have the Network Tab selected: i have Data recieved at anywhere between 100 and sometimes as high as 400
    whereas data sent is always under 10 !
    peak is about 8    so does Data sent refer to to My Time Machine Backup GOING TO my Network Hard Drive ?
    if so where is the Data recieved stuff, going to or coming from ?. it is all a bit confusing for me, i think i better go back to bed and lay down  LOL.
