HT1386 duplicate photos on ipad sync

I have iMac with iTunes 11.01, new ipad4 with IOS6.0.1. When I sync with iTunes and select only certain photo event, and choose 'no events' in addition to selection events, I still kept duplicates of every photo on the iPad.

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then only appear once on the iPad - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page.

HT1386 removed photos from ipad and itunes still syncing them

I had photos on my PC that I synced to my new iPad. After a month I decided I wanted less photos on the iPad. I connected the iPad to the PC and went into iTunes. Under my d evice, i went to the Photos tab. I unchecked the Sync Photos checkbox. It showed that the photos were removed from the iPad. perfect...but then iTunes said "Syncing Photos to Kim's iPad". It says it is copying photos (960 of them!)
What is it copying where?? help-please
thanks

Duplicate photos on iPad

Hi
I've just upgraded to iOS 7.0.6.
When viewing photos using the album tab everything appears fine, if I look at my photos via the photo tab I appear to have duplicates of every photo. Is this something to do with photo stream?
If viewing an individual photo I have the option to trash one of them but not the other?
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks

Aperture 3.3 now adding duplicate photos to iPad

Since updating to Aperture 3.3 my iPad now has duplicate photos on it that it never had before. I have always (and have to for professional reasons) kept my RAW file and my processed TIF files in a stack with the TIF as the visible file. My iPad has always just added the TIF to the Photos album on the iPad. But since updating to 3.3 it now adds both to all albums which is a huge problem when trying to show my portfolio to clients.
I have deleted all photos and started agian but the problem persists. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?

That is a known problem since Aperture 3.3. Unfprtunately I don't know yet of any solution.
As a work around - you may want to set up the albums you are showing to your clients as smart albums. Then you can enable the "Stack picks only" flag. Or add a rule "File type is "tiff", to exlude the raw.

Decloner will compare the files themselves, not just by name or size.
For the latest version and faster updates, also to give the developer a extra 30%, choose the developers site version, simply hold control or option key to temporarily turn off Mountain Lion's annoying Gatekeeper to run the app.

I get duplicate photos when I sync my iPhone 6

When I plug my iPhone 6 into my iMac, duplicates of each photo on my camera roll appear in iPhoto.
I have Photo turned off in iCloud.
Any ideas?

Hi KiwiniD,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to please check a setting on your iPhone that might be causing this issue where you see duplicates of each photo. The setting is for HDR photos, and if you keep the normal version as well.
Settings for Photos are in Settings > Photos & Camera. These include:
iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, iCloud Photo Sharing, and Upload Burst Photos
Photos Tab
Slideshow
Camera Grid
HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Photos settings - iPhone
Take care,
Alex H.

HT204022 i have several copies of my photos on my ipad under photos not photo stream There is no delete button when I tap the duplicate photos. How do I delete these pleas?

I have 4 and 5 copies of my photos under photos on my ipad. I do not have a delete button to delete them. Also, my icloud is upto date but my new photos are no longer streamimg to my photo stream.

Before deleting anything be sure they are actually duplicate photos. If you create an album on your phone, then add photos to it from your camera roll, the photos in the album are not duplicates; they only contain links to the actual photos in camera roll. (Albums are like music playlists; they don't contain the actual photo but just a link to it so that you can look at a subset of your photos.) Thus, if you delete the photo from the camera roll it will be deleted from all albums that may have contained it (just as a song would be deleted from any playlist that contained it if you deleted the song from your music library).
Similarly, photos synced to your iPad from your computer are all contained in the photo library. Just like albums created on your phone, any albums synced to your phone will only contain links to the actual photos in the photo library. If you delete the photo from the photo library, it will be deleted from any albums that may contain it as well. This video may help explain this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60MevRF53ck&feature=channel&list=UL.
All that said, you can delete photos from the camera roll by either opening them individually and tapping the trash can icon, or by opening the camera roll in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, tapping all the photos you want to delete, then tapping the Delete button at the bottom. To delete photos synced to your iPad from your computer you have to delete them by connecting your iPad to your computer, going to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, unchecking the photos you no longer want on your iPad, then syncing. Photos in photo stream are deleted by opening the photo, then tapping the trash can icon.

Syncing photos from iPad to iMac

I have tried several times to sync my photos from iPad to my computer and I get to a point when the import just stops and it is stuck on the picture and it doesn't finish syncing. Every time I tried to sync, it seems that it creates a duplicate of the photos on my computer that were transfered. Very frustrating. I'm not able to sync all my photos from my iPad.
Any ideas how I could do this?

Sync photos from ipad to iphoto

OK - here is my problem.
First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album.   So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application.   I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
I cannot figure out how to do the third thing.   I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac. The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
Can anyone figure this out?

Alex, any response from Apple?
The only solution to this I can think of:
1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself. <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
