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

    Are you sure that:
    1. You have the correct disc for your operating system? You have both mac and windows versions on the discs. If you have a mac you want disc 3, not disc 1.
    2. PSE is not already installed?

  • How to import photos and videos from Android device?

    Hello
    I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 recently and I'm trying to import photos and videos from my phone, Samsung Galaxy SIII, but having a little trouble.
    When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
    every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
    in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:
    How do I import photos and/or videos from my Android device?

    Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.

  • I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version off iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name, this name was also used in the "masterfile"

    I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version of iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name (for exampample "110723 birthday son 2011"), this name was also used in the "masterfile", so I could find the file by his name ("110723 birthday son 2011") in the "masterfile" on my HD and copy and paste it from there to other computers.
    In the new version the file gets stored under a seemingly random number, which does not give me any information about the content.
    Is there a way to fix this? Would it be different in apperture?
    Thanks

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • Trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images

    trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images say "preview cannot be seen" and some don't. And when I try to import and I hit "new photos" it's all the photos on my card. My brain is about to explode.

    It said something similar where the thumbnails were supposed to be.
    Just got the newest edition of LR, 4.4
    4.4 is not the newest edition of LR
    We don't want to know that it said "something similar", we want to know the exact wording. In fact, you ought to state the exact problem you are having, in detail, instead of saying you are having the same problem.

    The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer".  It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change.   It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory.  It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

  • ???  I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software.  When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library.  What should I do?

    I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
    THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

  • Import photos and video into different folders

    Hi, is there any way to import photos and videos into seperate folders?
    I use lightroom to manage my photos and videos, but the videos are much larger so I prefer they are stored in a different location.
    I can import them together and drag the photos to a new folder, but this does not create the same folder heirarchy as importing them would.
    Currently I import once for photos and onece for videos, but I'd prefer to just "import"
    Thanks!

    First off it would be good to learn how to use iPhoto - editing is one of the most basic operations - what version of iPhoto do you have? Have you watched the videos and looked in Help?
    In general you select the photo can click edit - to straighten you use the "Straighten tool" - to remove areas around the photo you use the "crop tool"

  • IPhoto takes long time to import Photos and Videos

    From a software standpoint why iPhoto sometimes takes so long to import Pictures and Videos?
    Example Scenario:
    on the iPhone 5 - iOS 7 there are:
    2851 Photos in Camera Roll
    1000 Photos in Photo Stream
    51 Videos (each videos average of 3 minutes long)
    on the MAC - OS X 10.9
    iPhoto start to import photo, and more or less, after importing almost 500 photos, just get stop at one particular photo and thats it.
    What are the reason?
    Thank you

    Thank you leonie,
    so my question is why a photo became corrupted in the iPhone?
    Step 1
    Take a Photo
    Step 2
    The taken photo goes into Cameral Roll
    What are the reason that became corrupted?
    Thanks

  • Problems importing photos and iTunes

    Have been using iMovie for years - current version 11. All of a sudden, I cannot import photos and music from iTunes into my project. It looks like it will (green plus sign and green bar) but then the perpetual beach ball starts and never stops. I have 22 GB hard drive left and should have plenty of RAM. Bad time for a snag - graduation videos coming up. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

    You cannot actually sync photos to iTunes, it just accesses the folder you specified and copies the contents to your iPod. When it says it will replace all photos, it means the ones on the iPod, as you can only either sync (and mirror the contents of your photo folder, whatever it may contain) or not sync (and keep the photos on your iPod the way they are)
    Also, copying them to the iPod drive will save them there, but to view them on the iPod, you need to go through iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't Import: Import Photos and Videos Grayed Out

    This is perplexing.   I had this problem in LR3 so I decided to upgrade to LR4 thinking it will be better but same result.  I can't import at all.  Import Photos and Videos Button in the dropdown is grayed out.  Import button is also grayed out!  I can't do anything!
    By the way, I'm using Mountain Lion.

    Have you tried resetting the Preferences file?

    It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

  • HT201302 When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none

    When I try to import photos and videos, I'm told that there are none. And when I go into the DCIM folder (the only folder I can see), there are no files inside. What else can I do to move my photos onto my PC?

    Are the photos in question in the Camera Roll of the iPad? If not, where on the iPad are they (in what part of what app do they appear)?
