How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

How to choose a picture from photo library on iPhone ?

Hi guys,
I am trying to upload a picture in "Photos"(I mean phone photos library) from the app. Actually I don't know how to code it.
Can you suggest me for this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Well this is a 3-part project:
1) To allow the user to select a photo from the iPhone library, create an instance of [UIImagePickerController|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ UIKit/Reference/UIImagePickerControllerClass/UIImagePickerController/UIImagePickerController.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40007070]:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
2) To get the data from the selected photo, implement [imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:|http://developer.apple.co m/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIImagePickerControllerDelegateProtocol/UIImagePickerControllerDelegate/UIImagePickerControllerDelegate.html#// appleref/doc/uid/TP40007069-CH3-SW8] in the picker controller's delegate:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
UIImage* image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
NSData *jpegData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation (image, 1.0);
// dismiss controller and start upload here
3) Upload the jpeg data. Of course the details will depend on the site (E.g. see [ObjC - Post a UIImage by using NSData and NSURLRequest?|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/743903/objc-post-a-uiimage-by- using-nsdata-and-nsurlrequest]).
If you've never uploaded image data or an image file to a web site, step 3 is going to be the hardest, and in that case I would rcommend another thread with a title like "How to upload image to URL". Hopefully that will get the attention of programmers who have more experience with that topic than I do. Anyway it's an entirely different subject than you've described in the title of this thread.
Even if you have experience uploading data, I would recommend working on steps 1 and 2 first. You could check your work by adding these lines to the delegate example above:
BOOL result = [jpegData writeToFile:@"/Users/Raiden/Picture.jpeg" atomically:NO];
NSLog(@"jpegData=%@ result=%d", jpegData, result);
Once you get the desired picture into your test file, you can work on the upload, confident that your source data is correct.

HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this. I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well. If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version. It's very annoying.
I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database. That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
It seems to be a great, well-oiled system. But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

How do I move pictures from one library to another?

For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

Options:
1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You ould have to e-mail them to yourself. When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

Cannot remove pictures from photo library

hi everyone... somebody can help me to delete pictures in photo library?

To remove images in the Photo Library you need to use iTunes.
iTunes puts those images on the iPhonel it syncs them from a source on your computer.
So you need to use iTunes to 'unsync' those images to remove them.
Hope it helps.

How to delete unwanted or duplicate pictures from photos

Trying to organize photos into albums. In doing so want to delete duplicate photos or unwanted photos. Also since I've re-organized pictures into different albums I would like to eliminate older albums. Is this possible and if so how. I've purchased several softwares but they don't help with old pictures downloaded over a yr ago. I think this can be done through ITunes but don't know how to access for this purpose. Can you recommend best way to edit pictures and albums?

If you are reorganizing pictures that have been synced from the computer to the phone, any adjustments to those pictures has to be done on the computer and then synced back to the phone. The only photos that you can delete on the phone itself are ones that are in the Camera Roll.
Unless you have synced duplicate pictures, I think you may be referring to the fact there are pictures in an album and also in a folder that was called Pictures Library. The library folder no longer exists under iOS 7. All photo management for photos that have been synced should be handled on the computer, and then changes synced to the phone. This syncing is done in the Photos tab of iTunes.

In response to all of your responses. I imported my pictures from my camera- that worked fine. I tend to use Iphoto.

Now I want to get rid of the duplicates/triplicates- my albums were also broken up and need to be reorganized. I have tried all of your suggestions - thank you-

How to backup pictures from 'photo library"

I've been to 3 different stores across the US and no one can answer my questions or just say that my pictures are pretty much lost.
I had a 3G and a 15 MBP that had pictures of my daughter on them at birth. I had to send my MBP back to apple to get fixed and at the time the rep at the store asked if I had backups. I told him the only thing that mattered to me were the pictures on there at the time and that I had a copy of them on my 3G phone and I could synch them to my 17" MBP.
Fast forward, and A) my time machine backup doesn't work from my 15" MBP B) I can't figure out how to get to the pictures to get them off.
Now let me clarify B some.
When I go into the photo albums I have "camera roll" "photo library" "last 12 months" and "last import". I can back up Camera roll to iTunes or download pictures directly from the phone in windows - what I can;t figure out is how to get the pictures out of "photo library". That's where my daughters pictures are.
I have a copy of these pictures on my 3GS phone from previous sync, but the upgrade to the iOS 4 has completely ruined them (the blurry image issue) and the only originals I have left are on the 3G.
I could individually mail each photo to myself if I swapped out my SIM card, but that's a lot of photos to email.. an easier solution would be appreciated.

Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which is where photos that are captured by the iPhone are stored, can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera even though these photos are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone alone for these photos as with any other digital camera, and the same for the iPhone's backup which stores a significant amount of other data.
Photos in the iPhone's Photo Library include photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone only via the iTunes sync/transfer process, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are not included with the iPhone's backup. These photos should be included with your computer's backup. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
There are a number of 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.
