HT204476 Photos now displays all Duplicates!
Hi,
OSX: Yosemite 10.10.3
Subject: Photos
I upgraded and the new Photos went to work, didn't plan on this but Apple force fed it on my Mac.
So everything imported ok, but now I see duplicates of every image.
I also see two Libraries now in the Pictures directory.
1 - The original "iphoto Library" that is 174GB
2. The new "Photos Library" that is 182 GB - (includes some new photos from iphone, etc, I'm not worried about the size difference)
Question - Can I delete the old iPhoto library from the Pictures directory?
I read about the so called "Magic Under the Hood" and new file referencing, but it appears my Libraries are still duplicating and each taking up disk space.
1. You can continue using iPhoto and its Library. You are not forced to switch to Photos.
2. After migration, having two separate Libraries is the correct behavior. That's what allows you to continue using iPhoto, if you want to.
3. Deleting the iPhoto Library will not save you much hard drive space. That's because both libraries reference the same "original" files on your drive. Your images have not been duplicated during migration.

My iBooks app now displays all PDF's as "Untitled"
Good Morning:
My iPhone 3GS is now displaying all new PDF's with the title "Untitled" in my ibooks app. This started after the recent iBooks update. The previous PDF's I have on iBooks from before the update all have the titles of the PDF as it was listed in the Email that the PDF came from. How can I change this so that I will be able to see the PDF titles in iBooks again.
Thanks Very Much!Update:
I went to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store yesterday and was given the following steps that will remedy the problem with the PDF's
Drag and Drop PDF's directlty from MY Documents (if you are using a PC with Windows XP) and put the PDF's Directly into the Book section in the Library in iTunes.
Then Sync the iPhone in iTunes and the PDF's will display with the names you have chosen.
Do Not Email the PDF's and open them in iBooks or the PDF's will display with the name Untitled.
Note: Be sure to delete the PDF's that are displaying as "Untitled" from the iPhone first as well as the PDF's that are on iTunes as the original cryptic PDF File Name. Then Drag and Drop a fresh Copy of the PDF's and put them into iTunes. After syncing the PDF's will display in iBooks with the name you have chosen. -
My photos will no longer display on the web, just a box with an X. I must have changed one of the jpeg options inside 'save for web' window. I'm designing webs with Expression Web 4 and I'm using Internet Explorer...
CMYK jpegs would do that, make sure they are RGB. But since you are using save for Web, they should be RGB.
Reset your save for web settings by holding down option to get to the reset button.
Cold also be a hosting configuration issue where files need to eb named .jpeg or .jpg. Try .png format see if that works. -

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?
And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

IPhone now displays photo's as grey "JPG" box, but photos are corrupted.
Maybe someone can help me here.
After the update to the 5.1 iOS, my 32GB iPhone 4S is now displaying some pictures in my Camera Roll as grey boxes with "JPG" in the middle. When you select the photo, it brings up a larger version of the grey box showing the "JPG" in the middle.
I've tried to delete the photos and re-sync my phone, but each time - more pictures seem to be showing up like this. Can someone shed some light on this? Or is this a known issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :/I have a solution.
I had the same problem on my new iPhone 5S (iOS 7.0.3). Some photos are shown only as grey screen with characters "JPG" in center, even though those photos look fine on iPhoto 11 (ver 9.4.3)
It turned out that I had to rebuild the iPhoto Library entirely. To do it, press Command + Option while opening iPhoto and hold them until you see a dialog. The forth choice "Rebuild Database" was the right one for me. After the rebuild, connect iPhone to iTunes and sync the photos. You might have to delete all the photos first to put the fresh copy from the new library.
Hope this helps.

How can I remove all duplicate photos from all my albums on revel?
I believe that this is related to iTunes. When iTunes loads the photos to the phone, it downsamples photos synced to the phone, which means they are not the same size, and therefore are not exactly the same photo from revel's point of view. To Visually, these files look the same, but Revel regards them as unique files and imports them.
We first do an "import" which brings in the small previews so you can see them. We finish that numbered countdown THEN we upload the originals and say we are "syncing" .When cloudy (the little cloud icon) is working, you should have the chasing arrows. If they exit the Revel app while we are uploading we continue to upload for 10 min in the background and then stop and issue a notification.If you start a big upload and minimize Revel to the tray and never go back into Revel, Delete the photos from the device, THEN go back into Revel, then you get into this situation.
You should only delete things off the device once cloudy indicates the "library is up to date" You can check this by opening the library and noticing if there is a cloudy status in the library view. If there isn't a cloud icon you can check the settings panel and see cloudy there. If originals haven't uploaded completely on the device, then cloudy will be in the library view and indicate activity.
Here are our suggestions:
1.Ensure all original photos are safely backed up outside of Revel (eg, saved on the desktop, external hard drive, etc.)
2. Going forward, please keep Revel open and running, until the sync is complete. (click on the cloud icon to see upload status)
3. If it’s important to preserve the original images in Revel cloud storage rather than the downsized ones from itunes, you will need to remove images that now have or did ever have duplicates, and upload the photos again. Since iTunes syncing can’t copy originals back to the device, this means you will need to upload from the Revel Mac app, or upload from your computer (Mac or Win) by signing into your account in a web browser at www.adoberevel.com .

I added a folder to iTunes when adding some music - sadly it was my backup folder and now I have duplicates of everything in iTunes !
Is it possible to "un-add" the folder so that I get back to only one copy of the files ? I have 70Gb of music so there is no way I can do it manually and putting music on shuffle to avoid repeat tracks is going to get tedious !
Thanks
MarkApple's official advice on duplicates 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 such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
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, this post for detailed instructions, 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.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and copes sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

I am trying to delete duplicate photos fron my events in i-photo but it deltes the photo entirely from all events. How do I keep them in the original events and delte the duplicates without sending them all to the trash?
Are you referring to Events or Albums? A photo can exist in one Event only. However, it can be in multiple albums, books, etc., which uses pointers to the original photo in the Event. In those cases if you delete the photo from the Event all occurrences of it will be deleted from the library.

How do i delete duplicate photos in my iphoto library. i imported them (1500 pics) twice and don't want to manually go through them all. Is there a way to get iphoto to compare photos and delete the duplicates?
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

I have upgrade to IOS 8 and all Fotos are ereased on my Iphone and on my Computer is only the last Backup and there a no Photos now what can i do?
You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information. -
I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.
launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8 -
My events photo albums have all been renamed with a number followed by IMPRT (deleting the date on which they were taken) Also the photo now showing on the top of each folder is taken from a different event and so is not actually in the album it is sitting on top of. This happened when I linked to itunes. Any idea how to restore it to how it looked before?
One thing that I find odd is that iTunes used to rebuild the .itl file when you deleted it. It seems as if the newer iTunes somehow broke this old capability. If you delete the .itl file it can't rebuild it- it simple treats this as if this is a fresh installation and completely ignores the fact that the .xml file has all the data in it. I think Apple needs to bring back this old "feature". Of course, the negative with that was that you lost all of the "Date Added" info along with some other stuff but at least it still kept the favorites info etc. (and I think maybe even the path although I don't believe I ever tried that because my account path has never changed until now).
One side note: I can't find where the iTunes Windows SDK is. I was hoping to try to use that to access the .itl "database" and write a utility to fix this situation. Seems like this has moved from its original location...
