How do I remove bulk duplicates from Folders in Elements 11 Organiser?

If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. I have just transferred all my files from my computer to the Organiser and I notice that there are quite a few duplicates appearing in the folders. Is there a quick way to delete the duplicates?

Hi Surendra
I got to where all the duplicates were displayed next to the originals,
however, is there a way to select just the duplicates in one hit from this
screen. If I use the shift key it selects the original and copy? I really
appreciate your help.
Regards

How do i remove bulk duplicate photos in iphoto?

I just purchased a Mac mini and I transferred my photos from a file to iPhoto. I knew I had duplicates. A lot of them. But, I thought iPhoto would have picked up on this. How do I remove these?

For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner or iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner

My ipod has duplicate songs on it, but my iTunes does not. How do I remove the duplicates from my ipod?

After the last couple updates to my ipod it has created duplicates of songs to it. My iTunes does not contain any duplicates, but my ipod does. Is there any way I can remove the duplicate songs from my ipod?

If the duplicate copies all have the same date then you could do show duplicates, then sort by date added, and delete those with the new date.

How do I remove video duplicates from Aperture?

I now have many duplicates of videos in my Aperture library, taking up lots of hard disk space. Is there a best practice method of deleting these duplicates?
Many thanks for any help!

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

How do I remove the duplicates from my iTunes library?

Somehow iTunes has created a duplicate of virtually every song in my over 8600 song library. There are now 16263 songs. Short of going through 1 by 1, how can I get rid of all of these duplicates?

HT4191 How do I get to "When prompted, select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device."? I can't get to this!

I have duplicate Notes on my iphone 4 (upgraded to iOS 5.1.1) I have followed your instructions to remove the duplicates. How do I get "select Detete Notes" to appear on my Mac? I have connected my phone to my Mac and selected it in iTunes. I clicked the Info pane and deselected the option to Sync Notes. THEN WHAT should I do? How do I get the prompt "Select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device. (I do want to sync them using the over-the-air feature.)

I would try the following:
First sync your phone with iTunes to create a new backup (just in case). When done, disconnect your phone from your computer.
Next be sure that all of your Notes are on your mac (Don't proceed any further if they aren't). If so, turn off iCloud syncing for Notes on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to Off. When prompted choose to delete the notes from your phone.
Next, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect your phone to your computer, click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar.
Go to the Info tab and under Other check Sync Notes, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone, check Notes.
Click Apply at the bottom right to sync your phone. This should sync the Notes from your mac to your phone and you should no longer have duplicate Notes.
Next, on the Info tab uncheck Sync Notes and click Apply, when prompted select to keep the Notes on your phone (haven't tested this step but I believe you will be given the option to keep them on your phone).
Now disconnect your phone from your computer and check the Notes on your phone to confirm that they are still there and that you don't have any duplicates.
Next turn on iCloud syncing on your phone again by going to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to On.
On your computer, without connecting your phone, go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and uncheck "Prevent…from syncing automatically" to re-enable automatic syncing.
That should do it.

How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
tia...

there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
Thanks!

How do you remove unified contacts from iphone4s

how can you remove unified contacts from iphone4s

Reading and researching for 6 days. Apple keeps calling back again and again. I admire their punctuality but they keep rushing me through the same solutions over and over again. I am really disappointed that they have an instruction manual they do not diverge fron. Today was the 4th day they called. I had deleted my phone twice following their suggestion and reset all settings which brought my iphone back to an awkward, unfamiliar state. Nothing worked.
I used all apps that have been suggested here ('Spring Clean' and 'Cleanup'). Did not work. They kept returning a message that said I have NO contacts on my phone. My correct set of contacts contains 499 backed up on iCloud and of those 388 unfortunately duplicate against themselves thus creating a set of 'Unified accounts'.
After all this research, inablity to manually delete one by one, back up from itunes during sync, deleting and restoring phone, the app that worked for me is called 'MultiDelete'. I found all the apps, did a test drive on a couple and worked. Applied to all. All contacts were erased. Turned iCloud contacts back on... I still am in awe. Very please and surprised that a problem I have had for more than a year is resolved!
No more duplicate contacts when calling from Viber, Skype and any other contact-related app! Yes!

Make a local folder of the same (or different) name. In the Open dialog of Pages, click the iCloud toolbar button. You can move individual or selections of documents, but only copy folders from iCloud to your local filesystem.
Click once on the iCloud folder, and then select all the documents you want to move to the above open local folder. Drag/drop into the local folder. You will be challenged about your decision to move these documents. Agree to it. Once all of these documents have moved, the iCloud folder will vanish as it has no content.

How do I remove a device from Lightroom Mobile?

Hello Everyone,
I lost a device that was signed into Lightroom Mobile. In Lightroom 5, it still shows up under “Folders”. How can I remove this device from Lightroom?

You need do nothing. This limitation does not apply to itunes plus.
Even so, all you would have to do is not sync it any longer.

How do you remove the background from an image

how do you remove the background from an image thathas a white background?

First, change the background layer to a normal layer if needed, by dragging the padlock to the trash can.
Then use the quick selection tool or magic wand tool to select your background.
Now you can either delete the background, or click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square. This icon will convert the selection to a mask.
The advantage of the mask is, it is non-destructible. In that you can change your mind at any time. Whereas deleting pixels is permanent once you close the file and there is no duplicate files. (A way around this is to make a duplicate layer and hide it. But that does make the file larger.)
