HT4927 How to delete all duplicate photos ?

What is the best way to delete multiple duplicate photos ?

You can use one of the apps:
iPhoto Library Manager
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto Applescript to Remove Duplicates - free
My personal favorite is the same as Larry's, iPhoto Library Manager.

Automatic Delete all duplicate photos in IPhoto ?

How can I delete all duplicate photos in my I Photo ? I have 6000 photos with many duplicates.

Where are you seeing these duplicates? In iPhoto or via the Finder? If it's in iPhoto then try using Duplicate Annihilator. It can detect and identify duplicated image files that have been imported into iPhoto.
If it's via the Finder then it's very likely you don't have true duplicates like you think you do.

How to delete all duplicate songs at once

how to delete all duplicate songs at once

If you mean the songs on your iTunes, you can follow this guide to delete the duplicate songs on your iTunes library. Hope it helps. Contact me if you have any other question.

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: 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, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
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 should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

How do I Delete all Duplicate Photos?

I have several copies of the same photos in iPhoto and under Pictures in the HD. I am not sure how they got duplicated in the first place, but there has got to be a simple way to delete all duplicates, right? I have like 10,000 images and many of them are duplicates, and many of them are images from my text books that I do not want.
I have iWork and MobileMe if that helps at all...

I don't know. They all claim to find duplicate files. The poster will need to read the Read Me files to confirm if the duplicates inside the iPhoto library folder are included.

Hi i have alot of photos in iphoto that are duplicates how can delete all duplicate in mass not individually? thank you

.

There are photos in my iPhoto albums which I deleted from my Photos albums.
There are photos visible in iPhoto, that you cannot delete in the Photos.app?
Have these photos been edited or or tagged with tags or captions? Then iPhoto will protect them from being deleted. They will be moved to an "edited" album. To be able to delete them, you need to revert them to the original version and to discard the edits.
Also, photos that you have synced to your iPad from a computer cannot be deleted on your device. YOu delete them by syncing again, with the album or folder deselected while syncing.

How to delete all my photos from my iphone for storage space

my photos are taking up a large portion of the storage on my phone...i've uploaded them to my computer and now i'd like to delete them all so i have more room for music. how can i delete them for good on my phone? is there any way to delete the following albums (or at least the pictures from the albums) : events from my mac, faces from my mac, and the last 12 months album. i just want to be able to put more music on my phone but my pictures are taking up more than half of the storage! please help

If you've synced photos to your iPhone through iTunes, change your sync settings in iTunes to not sync any photos and apply the change.
That will remove all synced photos, but not photos that you've taken with your iPhone's camera -- for those if you've imported them to your computer then to remove them you have to delete them one by one from the iPhone, or use your computer (assuming you have a Mac, iPhoto should allow you to select and delete what's stored on the iPhone, except for synced photos via iTunes).
Then there's iCloud photos. iCloud only holds the last 30 days of photos, but your device will continue to hold them up to the 1000 photo limit, regardless of how old they are. To reduce these, you can delete one by one, or if you Restore your iPhone that will strip off all iCloud photos, and add back only the last 30 days of iCloud photos, assuming you leave the Photo Stream setting ON in iCloud settings.

How do I locate all duplicate photos in iPhoto library?

I wish to delete all duplicate photos in my iPhoto (version 9.6) library. How can I id all duplicates in the library?

iPhoto does not have built-in tools to detect and remove duplicates, because the Import panel will show an alert, when you try to import duplicate photos.
If you managed to import the same photos twice, you can either remove them manually by sorting the photos by date, so duplicates will show side-by-side, or use third-party apps like iPhoto Library Manager, Photo Sweeper, etc.
See Old Toad's list at this link: How to delete .jpg files
if you are new to iPhoto, you may be assuming there are duplicate photos, because iPhoto will show the same photos in different views - the Events view, Photos View, Last Import, Albums, all will be showing the same photos in different arrangements, but these photos are not duplicates, just different ways to access the same photos.

How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000 one at a time?

How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one? I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily. Now that option is gone. I still have lots to delete.

I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-) Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper. I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it. There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

How to delete ALL photos in iPhoto Library that are NOT contained in albums

I would like to delete all those photos in the iPhoto Library which I have NOT assigned to an album. How do I do this efficiently?
And conversely: how do I delete from the Library ALL the photos that ARE contained in a specific album?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers (to one or to both questions).
Cheers,
Veit

I would like to delete all those photos in the iPhoto Library which I have NOT assigned to an album. How do I do this efficiently?
The easiest way is to put them into an album:
New Smart album ->
Album -> Is Not -> Any
This gathers them together into an album. Then it's the same answer as the second question...
And conversely: how do I delete from the Library ALL the photos that ARE contained in a specific album?
Select the Album. Then to delete them select the pics and hold down the *command (apple) and option (or alt)* keys and hit the delete button. This will put them in the trash. Then iPhoto menu -> Empty trash.

How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

Well, I believe I found it.....
When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.

Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.
