There really is no easier way than to use Duplicate Annihilator. It costs about $8.00 but will save you lots of time.

How can I identify and delete duplicate photos

is there a way to identify and delete duplicate photo's in I photo?

No one is suggesting that you download third party "crap". What was suggested is that you download a well established and supported 3rd party application. As to why there isn't a "'delete your stupid duplicate photo' option", you'll need to ask Apple that. Apple aren't here. This forum is for Users to help other Users. As to why you import stupid photos, you'll need to ask yourself.

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 to find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto

How do I fins and delete duplicate photos 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 (free)
HOWEVER, only try the above if you are seeing the duplicates in the iPhoto window. If you are seeing duplicate images via the Finder then you probably do not have duplicates. That's because at a minimum iPhoto will have two separate image files of each photo, the original and the thumbnail file. If the photo is a portrait oriented photo from a camera with the auto-rotate feature there will be a 3rd, modified image file in iPhoto, the rotated version.
So be sure where you're seeing these duplicates.

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

Organizing and deleting Duplicate Photos in iPhoto library?

Can I easily organize and delete duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
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.
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.

What is the best way to find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
I also prefer iPLM as it is more than just a dup finder. It's a the most versatile iPhoto utility available.

I understand that i can manually delete duplicates one by one. Is there a way to automate the process? I have an extensive library that is full of duplicates.
The problem you may face with pursuing automated approaches is that the dupicate check occurs on the basis of song title alone. Automating the removal would have it choosing between different versions of the same song - when you may actually want both since they aren't true duplicates.
Examples:
One is "unplugged" and the other is electric
One is the studio version and the other is live
One is the original version and the other is remastered
One approach to delte multiple ones is to change the sort to being a manner that makes true duplicates more evident. (Album by artist, or date, date added, or whatever makes sense for your library.)
Then you could paint multiple ones and delete them at once. (Select the first one, hold the shift key, then select the last one that you want to delete. Then press the delete or backspace key)
You will likely have to do this more than once, but it should/may reduce the amount of manual actions while avoiding the concern of songs misperceived as duplicate being deleted.

Is there a way to search for and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto.

In the course of copying events and photos from one computer to another I've ended up with multiple copies of thousands of pictures. I've organized them both by name and by date and been deleting the duplicates manually, but there are just so many it would take a thousand years. thanks

how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
Power photos: Fat Cat Software
Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products
PhotoSweeper: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html

How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)

How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)? I have quite a few libraries created as backup files.

Terence,
Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other folders appear only once.
I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
Thanks again.
Simon
