HT1229 The library folder recent imported duplicate photos, how do you removed duplicate imported photos?

I have had photos , photos albums, or folders deleted in the past, and I have somehow recaptured them by a way that is unknown or clear to me.  Anyway I imported them to the library and it is now in the the library folder recent last 12 months imported.  There are thousands photos are shown duplicate, how do I removed or organized the duplicate photos in a shortcut  without going through all of them ( 23, 000 of photos imported), and secure them in a folder/location/area without loosing them again .

If you're seeing these duplicates in the iPhoto window (and not the Finder) you can use these applications to 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 the library.
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 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.

  • Ps cs6 i can open photos in the same folder into layers panel, but how do you open photos from seperate folders into layer panel

    what is the method of taking a single photo from 3 different folders and have them all open in the layers panel

    Let get the term right.  Photoshop has a Layers Palette.  The Layers palette show the layers in the current active document your working on in Photoshop.  If you have more the one open document they will be in a Tabbed View or Floating Image Windows or Minimized.  The list of open documents is in Photoshop menu Windows at the bottom.  You can also open more then one image into a single document as a stack of layers and also place, paste and copy in image into a document  into a new layer.   The layers Palette shows the layers in the current document  the one your actively working on. The layers  changes as you  work on layers and the whole palette changes when you switch between open documents.

  • How to: Exculde the library folder located in the shared user folder.

    Ive been told this is a hard concept to grasp. I am sharing my home folder, I want to exclude the "Library" folder from being shared. How do I do this? -Thanks you

    In theory, you should be able to select the file in Finder, then use Finder -> File -> Get Info.  Then under the "Sharing & Permissions" section, change "everyone" to "No Access".
    This would prevent anyone except yourself from accessing your HOME -> Library folder tree.  Of course if you mount your home volume using your username and password, then you will be able to access Library.

    How do you remove a location from the weather app on the iPhone 4s?

    Open the weather application. You should see 3 white lines at the right below corner and hit that.
    It will show the list of locations. Now just swipe to left on any location and you should find a delete option.
    Hope it helps.

  • I renamed the Library Folder in Finder, and then imported photos

    Several months ago after first purchasing an iMac, I imported some photos. Since these photos were all from a Mexico trip, I went into Finder and renamed the iPhoto Library folder to "Mexico Photos". What I didn't know then, but certainly do now, is that renaming a folder in Finder is a cardinal sin in iPhoto. Now I have a problem, because yesterday I started importing and organizing hundreds of photos. After creating 97 events with over 1500 photos, I realized that all the newly imported photos are in the "Mexico Photo" file. Since I now have photos from several different events, I wanted to change the folder name to something other than "Mexico Photos". So once again I renamed the file back to the original "iPhoto Library" but after doing that, I couldn't open any of the photos. The 97 events were there, but the photos were all blank. When I clicked on a photo, an explanation mark appeared. After changing the name in Finder back to "Mexico Photos", all my photos and events are visible and I can open all the photos. So my question is how can I change the folder name to something other than "Mexico Photos" without losing all my photos again?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    If you quit iPhoto,rename the iPhoto library package and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key you can select the library - the newly named iPhoto library should be selectable
    The name of the library does not affect operation as long as you have not modified the contents of it

  • I lost an xcel doc. Tried to find the Library folder in Users not there when use Finder. But when trying to upload a photo, iphoto found the library folder I can see my doc in Office 2011 Autorecov, but can't access it! How do I get User to show Library

    I lost an xcel doc a couple of days ago. Tried to find the Library folder in Users but not there when I use Finder (even when I do shift-command-G). But when trying to upload a photo in iphoto I found the library folder in Users. I can see my doc in Office 2011 Autorecovery, but can't access it! How do I get User to show Library then I can get to my long lost document?

    The auto recovery dat should be in the Microsoft User Data folder in your documents folder, not in the Library. However, I Haven't had to look recently.

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • Photos in iPhoto cannot be found in the Library Folder on the desktop

    I have a perplexing problem with iPhoto 6. A couple of months ago, I started a new Library and renamed it Current iPhoto Library placing it on the Desktop (rather than in the Pictures Folder).
    I did this because my laptop became too full and I ran out of hard disk space. The original Library resides on an external hard disk.
    I added many new photos to the new Library, inside of new albums.
    My problem is that all the new photos seem detached from the Library Folder on the desktop.
    They do take up memory, and now my laptop hard disk is full again.
    But I cannot free up space because the Library folder does not recognize the existence of the new photos—even though while in iPhoto, with the program is running, I have no trouble accessing all the photos.
    I tried DiskWarrior, assuming that there was a Directory malfunction. That did not help.
    I tried rebuilding the Library using iPhoto's built-in capability, by starting the program while pressing the Command and Option keys. No help.
    How can I make the Library Folder recognize all the photos that iPhoto can see fine within the program?

    First, thank you for keeping up with me.
    Second, where do look for Folder? On the desktop? iPhoto?
    Third, in replaying what must have happened, I think I have an idea of what went wrong. Originally, I moved my first Library to an external HD to free up space on my laptop, and I started a new Library. Some time ago, iPhoto must have spontaneously created a new third Library. It left what I am calling the second Library as the only visible folder containing an iPhoto Library. I was able to mount the small second Library when I restarted iPhoto by pressing Option and selecting the only Library that was visible to me. When I did that, unfortunately iPhoto disengaged from the huge third Library it had created. All along the third Library was invisible on the desktop as a folder--which is why I got into trouble. I ran out of space again and wanted to move the contents of what I now realize was a third Library to another external HD. But I couln't find that Library anywhere. Strangely, for the last three months, I did not know there were three Libraries, only two. The one iPhoto created as the third one worked perfectly when I would start up iPhoto. But now it is gone. Not even DiskWarrior can find it.

  • What happened to the Library folder?

    I did an upgrade to Lion this past weekend. Everything seems to work fine except the Library folder is not present. I clicked on two files from an email message and they showed up in the Mail Downloads folder, but I cannot navigate to that folder. All I have  as folders under "My Name" are: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, hob [?], Movies, Music,  Pictures. Public, Sites. Nothing else. Can someone enlighten me on where the Library folder might be?
    Thanks!

    Finder>GO  hold the option key
    You can change back to visible

  • How to show the Library folder in an external hard drive

    Hi there,
    I am trying to restore the Skype Chat History to my new computer. 
    My old hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  Unfortunately my back-up Time Machine file was corrupted due to fact that this is a VERY EASY thing to happen and hence I DO NOT recommend that anyone uses Time Machine through a wirelessly connected hard drive, such as a Time Capsule - a very bad design flaw!
    Luckily I am able to access some of the files on the old hard driave that was removed from my laptop.  However I can not find a Skype folder or the Application support folder under my user name.  Because it is an external drive, I can not use the techniques that have been suggested in other posts (such as using Terminal to permanently show the Library folder or using the Option key).
    Can you please help me!?

    Open a Finder window and choose the external drive with the user folder in the Finder sidebar. Then, make sure you see your user folder in the Finder window, because you will need it.
    Now, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    chflags nohidden
    After typing that, press the Space key and drag your user folder from the Finder window to your Terminal window, and after dragging it, now type after the dragged folder (without space):
    /Library
    In Terminal you should see:
    chflags nohidden (yourdraggeduserfolder)/Library
    Finally, press the Enter key and the Library folder will show up

  • How do I find the Library folder on time machine back up disk

    I had to rebuild my iMac and wanted to start fresh.  I'm useing mountain lion and had everything backed up with time machine.  The problem that i'm having is that I can't get the aplication support floder to show up in the library folder that you find under user menu.  I know if you hold down the option key while youpull down the go window it will show up on your Mac, but how do I get to the one that is on your time machine backup, useing Moutian Lion?  Thanks for any help.

    Once you have the folder open in the Finder, enter Time Machine and you'll see the snapshots of the folder.

  • After updating to system 7.2 the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    After updating to system 7.2 on my MacAir, the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    Not with 10.7.2 but with OSX Lion since it was released.
    Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
    In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.
    Or permanently with this Terminal command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

  • How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

    I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
    For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
    I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
    There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
    How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
    Thanks

    Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.
