Importing new photos with Iphoto6 without importing duplicates

In IPhoto 5 when I imported from the Ultra II reader a dialogue box appeared allowing me to say don't import duplicates. With IPhoto 6 this box doesn't appear. Or can I make it appear by clicking on something?

Manning:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It should give you that option. Try loading some known duplicates from the desktop and see if you get that message. Some would not get the message when coming direct from the camera but would when coming from the HD.
Be sure to repair disk permission (after every software install or update) and see if that will help. You can try downloading the iPhoto 6.0.5 updater (if you're at 6.0.5 or 6.0.4 already) and re-install it. If you're already at 6.0.5 then you need to go to the HD/Library/Receipts and delete the iPhoto_605.pkg file before running the installer. Again repair disk permissions afterward.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Show number of new photos with faces found

    Photos should show a number of new photos with faces found on each face at faces page.
    This would help me not to go over every person and check for new photos.

  • RE-Scan of new Photos with faces

    I'm currently using faces for some of my photos, when i add new photos to iPhoto, how can i get faces to re-scan the new photos so that my already defined faces are updated with the new Pics. Do i have to manually add these new photos to my existing defined faces?

    Select faces in the source pane on the left and select a person on the corkboard and double click - it will open showing the faces you have identified for them and below it will be a section for you to confirm or deny suggestions for more
    I recommend that you watch the tutorial - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#faces

  • Can iPhoto work in tandem with Bridge without making duplicate copies?

    I recently purchased an iPad and want to move some photo collections on to it. I currently use Bridge to manage my collection of many thousands of images, but it obviously does not let me easily sync with any kind of i-device. I am hoping that iPhoto can behave in a manner similar to iTunes in that it can act solely as a database and point at the original image residing with the structure create by Bridge.
    I do not want to keep two copies of the images, those in Bridge and another set in iPhoto. I see under advanced settings, there is an option under "importing" to copy items to iPhoto library. By unselecting this, will I achieve my goal of simply pointing at the original file?
    I suppose I can dump Bridge altogether, and just use iPhoto, but I am not sure I am ready to that as of now.

    Yes -- and no
    Yes you can reference the originals photos by unchecking that option
    No - you will have problems
    - if you move the "original" iPhoto will lose access to it
    - if you edit the photo in iPhoto the edited version will be in iPhoto and Bridge will not know anything about it
    - if you every upgrade your hardware or replace it due to failure iPhoto will have problems

  • How to load new photos onto Iphone without duplicating old photos?

    Hi There
    I use my IPhone to store all of my photos and want to update it actively every couple of weeks, i recently tried to add to the existing photos on my iphone but found that the photos that were on the phone to begin with are now all duplicated, but the IPhone isn't registering that they are duplicated (ie - if the folder has 30 photos in it and recognises 30 photos there are actually 60 photos in the album that I can see?) How can I add to the photo folder without the existing photos duplicating?
    Thanks

    Try removing/deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder from the folder of photos on your computer's hard drive you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by another sync.

  • HT2513 Older iCal calendars (used with MobileMe) now won't sync with iCloud without creating duplicates. How do I sync to my other devices without iCloud?

    I've been using iCal for years for my business and have over 15 calendars on it (to color coordinate projects) and used to sync them with MobileMe.  Now that I've upgraded my mac and have Mountain Lion and can only use iCloud to sync Address Book, Notes etc - iCloud doesnt even acknowledge my 15+ calendars unless they are DUPLICATED.
    I've turned OFF iCloud and tried to sync via iTunes telling it to sync to iphone/ipad from "Calendar on this Mac" - but it sees nothing.  My device Calendars are blank (iCloud off on them too).
    HELP!!!

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • Sync new palm with windows without automatically restoring data

    Hi all.
    My TX finally bit the dust.
    I'm converting, nay, reverting, to an old, refurbished Palm Zire 72.
    However, when I sync the first time and choose the name to which to sync the palm windows app automatically starts restoring all the data.
    This would be ok except that the Zire has a LOT less ram than does the TX.
    Anybody know of a way to stop this and just sync so that the Zire is registered to me.
    Then I can restore my data via the SD card and BackupMan.
    I guess I could go into the windows folder that holds the backup and delete all the data that I don't want on the Zire.  That would be time consuming but so would choosing the files to restore in BackupMan.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Go into the cdrive and rename the palm folder or if you no longer need it get rid of it. This should allow you to complete a hotsync.

    Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

    If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
    You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

  • New photos/videos gone when restored from backup. Why?

    Just got the iPhone 5 over the weekend, which was a huge upgrade from my 2009 3G!
    I didn't get around to plugging the phone into my MacBook Pro until today. When I synced my new iPhone, I clicked "restore from previous backup", which then it put all my old photos from 3G onto iPhone 5.
    However, when this happened, all of my SMS and photos/videos that I took over the weekend are now gone. I presume the iphone replaced the new photos with my old ones?
    Is there any way I can get those videos and photos back? Please let me know!
    Thanks

    When you restore from the backup you only get the data that was contained in that backup. You will lose any data on the device that occurred after the backup point.
    Restore = Replace data on device.
    It does not "add" that data to the existing data on the phone.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
    No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

    I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto.  I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing.  Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread
