In iphoto '09, Ihave 2 or 3 copies of the same picture. Is there a way to merge them and delete the extra pictures?

Is there a way to search for and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto.

In the course of copying events and photos from one computer to another I've ended up with multiple copies of thousands of pictures. I've organized them both by name and by date and been deleting the duplicates manually, but there are just so many it would take a thousand years. thanks

My Events from my Iphotos are no longer available on my ipad or iphone. Is there any way to retrieve them?

I used to be able to access my Events from my iphotos on my ipad and iphone. They are no longer available on either device since upgrading them

I have seen this problem before. Does it also ask you for a voicemail password (even if you don't have one). If so, call your carrier and have them deactivate your voicemail password and it should be fixed. What happens is, it asks you for your voicemail password and the default way to listen to voicemail is to call a number to listen to them. However, the iPhone has a Voicemail tab where all of your voicemails are stored, but the default probably got reset during your iOS upgrade.

I recently made an album from my i photos and the the drive crashed ...the album isnt in iphoto.how can i order more copies of the album?

Ay album do you mean an iPhoto book? The best way is to restore a backup copy of your iPhoto library from just before the drive crashed.
Baring that your only hope is to recreate the book in iPhoto. For future book I suggest you try what is described in this tutorial: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date and, if you don't already have one, start a backup strategy for backing up your important files.

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.

What happened to my iPhoto albums/events? is there a way to retrieve them?

I know that iPhoto no longer exists, and i migrated my photos to Photos, but the albums/events that I spent years creating are gone! Is there a way to retrieve them?

Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

I have just found out that my Mac doesn't back up to iCloud. So, have enabled Time Machine. I didn't realise I had to setup the backups - thought they were automatic in the iCloud. Thanks for your help

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there some way to avoid this?

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there a way to stop that?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
What version of iPhoto?

I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

Yes. This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?

Actually, if you mean Apple/iTunes purchased content, you can go to the content area and go to Purchased... e.g. if you go to Movies > Purchased all the movies you have purchased through iTunes/Apple will appear there... ditto for Music, TV Shows, Music...
for local copies of media, computer needs to be on with iTunes running...

When uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

when uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

No. All imports go into a new Event. How many new events are created is determined by what you set in iPhoto's General preference pane in regards to how Events are autosplit during import:

I imported 100 photos, when I was reading photos iphoto crushed, and when I restarted iphoto all photos imported had disappeared!Is there a way to find them. They were imported, they can not have disappeared from the hard disk?

I imported 100 photos from my camera (Canon) into iphoto. The importation went well, and when I was watching the photos, suddenly iphoto crashed. I restarted iphoto and realized that the photos had disapered. The events are availbble into iphoto but they are empty, the photos have dispeared. I can not believe they disapeared as they have been imported and read once, they must be hidden somewhere on the disk? Is there a way to find where they are?

Assuning you're running iPhoto 9 or later try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Help! I just imported my vacation photos and now they are missing in iPhoto! Is there any way to retrieve them?

I just "successfully imported" over 300 vacation photos. It asked me if I wanted to delete them from my camera and I said yes. I've done this hundreds of times over the past several years. Afterwards, I got sidetracked looking in another photo event and then did something on my phone (unrelated) when I noticed my screen went black. I figured I needed to charge my laptop, so I got the cord and plugged it in. After restarting, I went back into iPhoto and under my events there is a thumbnail for each day from vacation, but a generic black and white picture of a palm tree and no pictures in any of the events. My last import is of the pictures I loaded before this batch. I've looked everywhere and can't find them! This has never happened before! Is there any way to find the photos and restore them to iPhoto?
Thank you so much if you can help!!!

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
You Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Is there a way to automatically ID &/or delete copies/doubles of songs?

I have several copied versions of my iTunes library on external HD's, and when I travel with my music, I use my laptop and then add music, and so I have several copies of my library, but none of them are complete. I am concerned re consolidating them because it appears that when one does that, it doesn't identify copies, and so I'd have to go through and delete all the doubles, which is a pain in the *!! Any instructions out there??? Thanks. Ben

Not sure about iTunes, but I do know that Tune Tools ( http://www.valusoft.com/products/tunetools.html )will show duplicates and allow for easy removal. I got mine as a gift, but I've see it in at Best Buy/CompUSA for $20. I'm sure there are other programs that'll do the same thing...
