I've got duplicates of photos in "Photos", Photo stream, Iphoto etc. what is going on?

I've go duplicates of photos on my devices in "Photos" and iPhoto that include icloud, Photo stream, camera roll, events, etc. etc. how do I manage theese duplicate files of photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community bissellfl.
If you mean the same photos appear in all these places, then that's what is supposed to happen. If you mean you have more than one of each photo in each album, then you' em possibly added them manually and had them add automatically. You'll need to remove them manually.

Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

When did you install?
Spotlight will need to re-index the entire system so that can cause slow performance if you updated recently. It can take many hours on a large disk with a lot of data. Click the Spotlight menu, it should say if it is still indexing.
There is no point trying to fix anything whilst this is ongoing, because it may just speed up when complete.
Are you able to drag photos from email to the Desktop or to iPhoto's icon? How about the 'File menu > Save attachments' option?
Please clarify what you have tried, otherwise we may waste time on the wrong thing.
If the system is generally unstable there are other things to try too, such as safe boot.

That will isolate all third party software, if the Mac is able to do the things that didn't work it suggests that you have software that is loading at startup or login. The easiest way for us to see these is if you download EtreCheck & generate a report.
Post the report here & we can try pointing to items that you can either update or remove.

After upgrading iPhoto for Yosemite I have lost virtually all my photos in iPhoto. What's going on??

Help! I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS on my iMac desktop. I then needed to upgrade iPhoto which I did yesterday. Now, when I open my iPhoto icon there are only about 100 photos left of probably about 1,000. I should mention that all the photos WERE there at first but then I moved my iPhoto Library to the dock and when I opened it, most were gone. Does anyone know how I can get my photos back??? Please help.

Ok
It is best not to move your iPhoto library around and there is no need to have it available from the dock - leave the iphoto libraries in your uses folder - to sitc between libraries hold dow the option key while lunching iphoto - use the resuling select library window to select the library you want - it will remain your default library until you switch again

Imported photos and got duplicates - how to identify and remove duplicates?

Hi all,
I am running iPhoto '08 and it has worked very well.
Yesterday, I imported a folder containing photos and I knew that some of the photos already existed in my iPhoto Library. But not concerned, when I know that iPhoto will detect duplicates.
Well, strangely enough, iPhoto did anyway import some of the photos that resultet in me getting in duplicates anyway. The wierd thing though, is that not every "duplicate" was imported. Some of them iPhoto informed med "hey this already exist, want to import anyway?". I choosed that duplicates should not be imported and that should go for all photos that are duplicates.
Now, my question is:
Is there a way in iPhoto to identify duplicates in the iPhoto Library?
If so, it would be great to be able to remove the duplicates!
Anyone got a solution to my issue?
Sincerely,
Andreas

Hi Jose Sam,
It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.

I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Duplicate files appearing in Windows Photo Gallery under Vista Home Basic.

I am suffering a bout of duplications in my Windows Photo Gallery under Vista. I am getting duplicates, triplicates and quadruple versions of the original file.
Despite turning off all Autoplay media types to 'No Action', I get random duplicates when I try to enter update pictures from camera or memory chip through a USB port. There is no 'Enter Updates Only' option, and Microsoft says that this is unnecessary as
duplication is prevented. The duplicates however appear with 'copy' in the file name after the image numbering system. My preference is to view the memory contents via 'Computer' - select and open the port, and view, then copy and paste into Photo
Gallery. Photo Gallery kicks in to view the chip correctly, but often/always (?) promptly uploads uncommanded. It did not used to do this, only in the last year or two.
What do I do, it is driving me crazy ?

Hi,
As I know, for Duplicate issue, it might be caused by a corrupted database, please try to rebuild it as a test.
Close Windows Photo Gallery
First show hidden files.Navigate to C:\Users\Usename\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo GalleryRename “Pictures.pd” to “Pictures.pd.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.

How do I stop duplicates of saved photos from being imported into iPhoto?

When I sych to iPhoto, I get duplicates of art work that I have in "Saved Photos". iPhoto doesn't screen out art work that I have created and added before making a lot of work to delete all the duplicates.

Photos you take on your iPhone are normally displayed in the Last 12 Months section of iPhoto. If you are using iPhoto to archive photos copy the photos from there to other albums in iPhoto instead of syncing them.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

You have to duplicate the photos unless you want to use PSE as the external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a proprietary library, which should never be messed with by programs other than iphoto. Writing to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all the pics it contains.
So you can either set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from within iphoto, or you must export the photos from iphoto to be able to use them outside that program.

Duplicates appearing in my main Photos library after sharing an album

I shared a couple of albums since "upgrading" to Photos, and now almost all shared pictures are duplicated in my main Photos menu. The get info menu shows two diferences. The size of the file and .JPEG (all caps) versus .jpg (small caps). Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? I started erasing the duplicates and now all seems OK, but I fear the problem might appear again when I share my next album.
I haven't yet enabled iCloud Photo Library, but I have Photo streaming and iCloud Photo sharing enabled.

I'm not a 100% sure.
I had som many duplicates after my import to Photo (from iPhoto), and while some were zombie files, and others because I had screwed a little with my iPhoto package. But when I imported I did have several albums shared, and they were all duplicated.
I unshared all my albums, and I'm currently working on cleaning up my library before sharing again (so I have a good base to start from).
Here is what I think might be happening (or at least hope, otherwise it's a big bug): When you share an album... as far as iCloud is concerned, they are probably treated as separate items in the cloud. Which means Photos is creating a copy. I have the feeling that if you delete the original in your library, the copy you have shared will remain.
But the thing that probably shouldn't happen, is that Years/Collections/Moments is displaying both the master version you had originally, and the version that is shared.
Remember... these are only my thoughts, since I'm not at the point of testing this yet.

I have a MacPro with OSX 10.9.4 and I photo 9.5. When opening IPhoto I got a message I needed to upgrade my IPhoto with an upgrade installer. Now IPhoto is just spinning and will not let me quit or Upgrade.

BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
