    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 delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    working in iphoto and want to delete duplicates that were created when I used migration assist to import the iphoto library to new machine.  it duplicated all of my pictures.  Using iphoto 9.1.3

    Did you import one Library to another? That's the usual cause of this.
    If you still have the original library the simple solution is to just trash the damaged Library and do it again. This time don't import the LIbrary, just open it.
    Other than that For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos on iPhoto?

    Is there any way to delete duplicate pictures on iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 ?  Thanks

    Yes.  You can use one of these apps:
    iPhoto Library Manager, 
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto Applescript to Remove Duplicates - free
    Personally I use iPhoto Library Manager as it offers other features that are very useful.

    how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    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 into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    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 the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  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.

  • 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 do I remove duplicate pictures in iPhoto and in folders?

    I have 12000 pictures and duplicate annihilator is so slow and can only be used fopr 500 pictures. How do I remove duplicates pictures i iPhoto and in all the original folders?

    What do you mean by "in all the original folders" ?
    If you purchase and registers Duplicate Annihilator then the 500 photo limit is removed.

  • I deleted the picture in iphoto, then emptied my iphoto trash, but the picture is still showing on my computer when i go into my trash under "all images" How do you delete pictures even when you empty the trash and they stay in the computer?

    I deleted the picture in iphoto, then emptied my iphoto trash, but the picture is still showing on my computer when i go into my trash under “all images” How do you delete pictures even when you empty the trash and they stay in the computer?

    Wtih iPhoto 9 when the iPhoto Trash is emptied the files get moved to the Trash bin in the Dock as a second chance to change your mind.  Look in the Dock's Trash bin.

  • How do i delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    What is the easiest way to delete duplicate photos in iphoto at one time?  I have 8,000 photos to go through with many duplicates.

    Duplicate annihalitor -  http://brattoo.com/propaganda/
    BUT
    Having lots of duplicates is usually a symptom=n of other problems - most often user workflow - maybe if you told us a bit more and how the duplicates came to be we could help avoid future occurances and even solve this in a better way

    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...

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

    Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

    The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
    Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have?  Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess.  If you  did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

  • Deleting a picture in iPhoto AND the file in the finder at once

    How can I delete a picture in iPhoto and also delete the file of that picture in the finder in one step? In iTunes the program asks the question if the real file should be deleted also.

    If you're running a Managed library then put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. Note to do this you have to be viewing in an Event or Photos view, not in an album.
    If you're running a Referenced Library, you can't. When you elected not to have iPhoto manage the files on import, you also elected not to have it manage the files on deletion.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
