Importing Duplicate photos from backup cd's

I just upgraded to iPhoto 6 and want to organize my many backup cds to dvd.
Unfortunately , many contain duplicates.
What is the easiest way to delete or prevent from importing dupes from cd's other than iPhoto diet, which isn't upgraded to iPhoto 6 .
Thanks in advance
Intel Imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

b2h:
There's another application that is supposed to cull out duplicates and works with iPhoto 6. It's Duplicate Annihilator . I haven't used it but others have recommended it in other threads.

Elements 11 will not import my photos from backup, please assist !

I recently purchased a new computer. PSE8 was my previous version but I did not install on my new computer. I purchased a newer version, PSE11. I cannot import my photos from backup ! Please assist me !

I cannot import my photos from backup !
I think you have to tell us more. Please tell us exactly how the backup was created, exactly what you are trying to do, and what happens (including any error messages).

Stop importing duplicate photos from camera using Bridge CS5?

Hi,
I'm having a few importing photo's using Bridge CS5, as I'm on holidays at the moment I'm trying to keep my photo's on both my laptop as well as leaving a copy on the SD card of the camera (as a form of backup), however whenever I import photo's from the camera Bridge is creating a duplicate (e.g. file-2.jpg, file-3.jpg etc). Is there any way to stop this behaviour and only import new photo's?
Thanks,
Dino

Hi Curt, that should work but I was hoping that there might be an option somewhere to not import photo's which are duplicates.. I guess maybe not..
Thanks for for your help anyway.

When importing my photos from iPhone i see all my photos as duplicates before importing

while trying to import my photos from my iPhone6 to macbook pro using iPhoto i see my pictures as duplicates before importing this the first time i get this problem

Hey Larry,
I have noticed this when I import my photos as well. But I was thinking that for me, maybe it is because I also import my Photo Stream automatically, so when I'm importing my camera roll, they might have already been imported automatically from the Photo Stream?
Is that why I would be getting the duplicates when I import?
Thanks,
GB
Different problem - OP sees duplicates in the import window - you are importing twice (once automatically form PhotoStream and a second time by connecting the camera) - importing a photo twice will always give you two copies - do one or the other - not both

Protection from importing duplicate photos in iPhoto 5.0.2

Hi everyone,
It seems that the protection from importing duplicate photos that was present on the 4.x.x version of iPhoto (that came with Panther) has been removed from version 5.0.2. Is it just me or have other noticed this change? I looked around and could not find any settings for this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Steve

Hi Steve, that pref is kept in the iPhoto Preference file. Trash it and you should get the dialog back...I hope.

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
any one can help?

This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
Don't forget to tick the backup box.
Hope this helps. Peter

Importing duplicate photos

In iPhoto 4 it was easy to just import NEW photos from a digital camera. Photos already located in the iPhoto library were NOT imported by simply clicking "no" when asked if you wanted to import duplicates. This feature seems to be missing in iPhoto 5. How can I import only the NEW photos from the camera and not also import every photo currently in the camera and in my library?

Hi Kay, my other idea is to use Image Capture. It has the Option to "download some". In the next window shift click each photo you want to download. They will be downloaded into your Pictures folder. You can then import them into iPhoto from there.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

IPhoto 4 importing duplicate photos without dialog box opening

I often import pictures from my Canon PowerShot SD550 to more than one computer. I do not use iPhoto to delete photos after importing. Occasionally I need to import more recent photos to one computer before I have the opportunity to import older photos to the other computer which is at another location. I used to get a dialog box on this computer asking me if I want to import duplicate photos. I must have accidentally checked the wrong box once because iPhoto now imports all photos every time without the dialog box. How can I regain control to not import duplicates?

It's just me … restating my question. My original wording was not as clear as I thought!

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT1229 The library folder recent imported duplicate photos, how do you removed duplicate imported photos?

I have had photos , photos albums, or folders deleted in the past, and I have somehow recaptured them by a way that is unknown or clear to me. Anyway I imported them to the library and it is now in the the library folder recent last 12 months imported. There are thousands photos are shown duplicate, how do I removed or organized the duplicate photos in a shortcut without going through all of them ( 23, 000 of photos imported), and secure them in a folder/location/area without loosing them again .

If you're seeing these duplicates in the iPhoto window (and not the Finder) you can use these applications to identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still, like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about 9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos. copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

Can I import catalog photos from a usb drive?

I have imported photos from a catalog into a new catalog. Some of the photos in the catalog are located on a remote drive. The drive is not listed when I select the photos to be imported. Is it possible to import catalog photos from a usb drive?
Howie

Hi Keith,
"Import from another catalog" is a selection found in the Lightroom "File" drop down listing. Sorry I wasn't clear in my reguest. I have used this function to import photos in to my new Catalog from my old Catalog. During the import process, Lightroom creates a working catalog from which photos can be selected. A file list on the left side of the window displays the available hard drive folders. Once the photos to be extracted are selected the source folder is checked. The import button, on the bottom right of the window, is highlited to execute the import function. Since the external USB hard drive is not listed, the import function is not available.
My question: how do I enable the import from my USB drive? Perhaps I will have to move the files back onto my internal hard drive using my Lightroom's old catalog.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
