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)

  • 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.

    Hi Surendra

  • 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 videos from my ipad?

    How do I remove videos from my iPad mini?

    What app are they in ? If the Videos app then you should be able to delete them via the Edit button at the top right of the Films or TV Programmes selection screens in the app, or via Settings > General > Usage > Videos (that also has an Edit button top right, and you can swipe/drag across from right-to-left on an individual film or episode and you should get a Delete button on it). Films and/or TV programmes in the Videos app that have the cloud symbol on them are not stored on your iPad, they are only in the cloud (Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos 'off' to stop them showing).

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

  • 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!

  • How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought?

    How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought? If a movie is on the wishlist that I don't own, I can hit remove. If I have bought it, then it has no way of being removed.
    It's a bug that needs fixing.

    Many thanks but that did not help. I have numerous movies in my ITunes account. I have downloaded a previously purchased film from my Icloud account onto my phone. Obviously, this takes up about 3gb of memory. I therefore, need to push this film back into the cloud thereby removing it from my device. The advice from the link you provided is to swipe the film and you will get a delete marker. You don't. When I go on videos and then films all I get is a list of films I have previously purchased on my ITunes account. I have swiped them every which way it is possible to swipe something but I still don't get a delete or remove button.

  • 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.)
