IPhoto 09 has way too many duplicates

I did not import twice, but iPhoto seems to be creating duplicates of many of my photos, and I am not sure why. I am not editing them, so that rules out iPhoto keeping a copy of the original and modified. Is there any way I can stop iPhoto from randomly duplicating photos? And is there a way I can remove those duplicates without searching for each and every one?

1 - iPhoto does not "randomly" make duplicates
2 - where are you seeing these - are they n the iPhoto window?
3 - if you are using the finder (or the all images smart folder) to see them then you (and this in not advised) may be seeing modified versions that are created because you have auto rotate photos selected on your camera - to stop this change the option on the camera
4 - if you are seeing them using the finder do not delete them or modify them in any way - you will corrupt your iPhoto library - and they are not duplicates - they are different in some way

The Wife has WAY too many duplicate songs in iTunes. How to get rid of them?

Hello All,
We bought new computers in April and the Wife is still trying to work out the kinks. Not sure if it's Music Match or iCloud or something else but at least half of the songs listed in iTunes are duplicates. It would take her forever to delete these. First, is there a untility or App that could take care of this task for her? Second, why did this happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?
Given time to reflect, I am thinking buying either Music Match and/or iCloud (if one or both of these is the cause of the trouble) was a mistake in that it really f-ed up both our playlists (over half the playlists on MY new laptop are from her computer-Can't.Stand.More.80s.Playlists.) and song lists. We have two very divergent music libraries and had NO need to start mixing them up. Yet cross-polinate they did to both the wife's and my near-daily annoyance. All we really needed was the 2T Airport and time machine. Which we have.
Thanks.
Brian

IPhoto 7 importing iPhoto 6 data: way too many images

In iPhoto 7 (aka iPhoto '08) on 10.4.10 MBP, I mounted a hard drive with data from another Mac (using iPhoto 6, 10.3.9); this library has about 32,000 items. On import, iPhoto 7 sees 47,000+ images! The pics it's importing look like deleted and un-rotated ones - aargh! (:-( Please tell me it's not importing deleted, recovered and otherwise unwanted or duplicate images.

mactester:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD pointed out if you imported the V6 library either via the menu or by dragging the library into the open iPhoto 7 window you'll get every image file in the library.
iPhoto Library Manager will copy the rolls or albums from one to another library and keep the metadata intact. HOWEVER, both libraries must be at the save version. So you'll need to upgrade that other library by opening it with iPhoto 7 and doing the converting. Then iPLM can copy the photos to the primary library like this.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

I want ro remove all of the default Firefox bookmarks. There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me. I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

How do you sync contacts with gmail, not other place on computer? I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from?

I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from? I spent a LONG time on gmail going through my list of contacts. There were about 400 and I got it down to about 90. When I went to sync my new phone, ALL 400 synced.
Thank you for any help!

Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.

Read the article you linked

I take a lot of people shots and have way too many out of focus pics.

I have way too many out of focus shots. I usually use tv mode with the shutter set at least 250 with the anti shake on. I know there is a balance of aperature, iso and they seem to be close enough for lighting but the out of focus drives me nuts. This is the most important aspect of a pic in my opinion. I have sent my T2i in for focus issues two times and cannot tell a difference. Any suggestions????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We'd probably have to see your shots with EXIF data to provide a specific response.
Canon did a 3-part video on how the AF system works with B&H Photo. You can find the videos on YouTube... here's the link to part I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAx86nblZ2g
I seem to recall each part is about 30 minutes, but well worth the time in what you'll learn about the focus system that you might not have known.
A LOT of factors can result in out of focus images. Camera movement (slow shutter speed during a hand-held shot) is just one of many possibilities.

Client has sent too many requests

When I try to sign up for a sync account, it says "client has sent too many requests." Should I wait and try again? Will it reset later? Thank you

Goto your mail client search there for Mozilla sync and very it may be its can help.

Why Am I Having to Make Way Too Many Hard Restarts?

Over the past couple of weeks, my wife and I have managed to lock up one or more programs to the point that it is necessary to shut down the computer using the power switch. The latest examples involve editing existing MS Word 2008 files in compatibility mode, but last week it was iTunes and I forget what other program.
I switched to the Mac because Windows kept doing this sort of thing ...

(1) We first noticed the problem after we had purchased a game called "Bejeweled 2".
If it was me and I had a full backup prior to the installation of the game, I would restore to that point.
I moved the game program to the trash,
Moving the program to the trash does not delete the program. Everything is still on your hard disk and if something in that game is causing the hang, that piece of code is still on your computer.
If the game has an "Uninstall" option on the install disk or in the downloaded DMG, I suggest running the Uninstall.
Firmware updates?
Normally those will come up in the Software Update window. Once in a while I log into http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ then do a search on "Firmware" and my machine ID (Like iMac or MacBook Pro).
I just noticed that my external LaCie 1 GB drive,
I lost mine a few weeks ago as well. Odd. Shut down, unplug the drive, restart, then open Disk Utility. With Disk Utility running in the front window, plug in the LaCie drive and attempt to mount it.
Mine would not come back up so I reformatted it - using the GUID option - and it has been running flawlessly ever since.
Following is over the top, totally unnecessary OCD behavior of a nut who wants everything perfect. Feel free to totally ignore everything that follows.
I started managing networks and supporting individual PCs back in the 1980s. I developed some odd habits. One thing I learned with DOS and Windows computers was that it was often easier to start over than to spend weeks chasing a problem. Once I moved to Macs, I kept my old habits.
You probably do not want to copy my example, but here is what I do:
1.) When I buy a new computer, I transfer the OS installation disks to an external hard disk using the Restore function of disk utility.
2.) I also transfer all of my software installers to the same hard disk as disk images.
3.) When software updates are available, I download the files from the Downloads page to the same external drive. (I don't do the installs from Software Update; I only use that to tell me what needs updating.)
4.) When something goes really bad - almost always from third party software, almost never from Apple software - I wipe the hard drive on the computer and do a full clean reinstall from my external disk. Because EVERYthing - the OS, the updates, and all my applications - are on the external hard disk, the reinstall goes very fast.
Of course, when I do the clean reinstall, I skip whatever application or utility I suspect caused my problem.
The full clean reinstall takes up to three or four hours which I can do while watching an evening of TV. To me, this is a far far better use of my time than spending weeks trying to find that ONE application extension or preference file that is trashing my system.
(By the way, when I do the clean install, I NEVER restore the Library from my back up. I restore all my data from back up, but I trash the old Libraries because whatever went wrong is still in there ... like a bad Ktext extension from a wayward game or widget.)
Now just to prove I really am a NUT, my other system: I keep a firewire external drive cloned to my computer using SuperDuper! When I have updates or new applications, I shut down and boot from the clone. I install the update or the new application on the clone. If that doesn't crash my system, then I'll go ahead and reboot to the internal drive and repeat the installation.
Yep. I have WAY too much time on my hands. But.... I lost all of my staff computers to a bad Windows service pack several years ago and I decided "never again". The Apple OS is not prone to those types of regular Windows disasters, and I have never lost critical data on a Mac, and I have never had an entire department off-line for a week due to a bad Mac OS update. Still, I am old, old habits die hard, so I do this stuff with my Macs at home.
Of course I hope none of these extraordinary efforts are necessary in your case. With luck you can Uninstall the game, reformat your LaCie, and be back to flawless operation shortly.
Hope all this helps ... (jk)

Hi dkmi
I'm having a very similar problem. What was it in this log that pinpointed RAM for you? I'd like to see if my logs have the same thing.
Thanks!

Safari has problems displaying WAY TOO MANY pages.

For some time now, I've noticed that Safari simply cannot display certain pages. The first time I noticed this was on my MBP17 with a Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installation, using Safari 5.1.9. After a barage of Security Updates started creating a flurry of problems on this computer (including the Safari problem, as best I recall), I finally gave in and migrated (I can't really say upgraded) to Mountain Lion. It was my hope that this would cure the recent problems. It did not! After migrating to Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and Safari 6.0.5, I still see the same thing that I get on my MBP15 that remains on OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.9.
The problem I see is that Safari simply can't display certain pages. Many of them are on Apple's own website. For a while, I just thought Apple was creating pages with no content. It wasn't until I got to a page that had menus that wouldn't work (at all), that I decided to try the same page with Firefox. To my surprise, the page displayed perfectly on Firefox. I pasted the source code from pages displayed in both the Safari and Firefox into separate BBEdit documents and compared the source. It was absolutely identical! Presumably, therefore, the problem occurs with JavaScript modifications to the DOM. While it's easy to cut n' paste the DOM from Firefox, I've yet to find an easy way to do this with Safari's debugger. So, I can't tell exactly where the problem starts. Besides... Apple just doesn't pay me enough to debug their code for them!
The follow screenshots show the results of the attempt to display http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ in both browsers. (I was on this page trying to figure out a solution to the error message "an unknown error occurred (-42408)" that I keep getting in iTunes... a whole different can of worms!)
As displayed in Safari (or as NOT displayed in Safari)...
As displayed in Firefox...
This problem crops up on many sites and is rather unpredictable. The thing that amazes me most is how often it occurs on Apple's own site! And since I see it on two different computers, with different OS and Safari installations, I can't possibly be the only one who sees this. I did just try it on my iPad 1 and the same page displays fine. Do I just need to go back to an even older OS version on my MBPs? Maybe OS 8?
Anybody have an idea what might be going on? I have spent the entire past week debugging iOS7, iTunes, Safari and Mtn Lion. After over 34 years on Apple products, I'm just about ready to go buy a PC!! Maybe even a CPM box.
PLEASE HELP!
PS: Just to make it WORSE... I have tried to enter this several times and keep getting an error. I finally had to switch to Firefox and try again. What the HEXX has happened to Apple???

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Merging 2 libraries, too many duplicates...

Hey all, I'm trying to add my boyfriends iTunes to my computer so we don't have to keep going back and forth... he has a lot of songs I already have... I want to delete the duplicates from itunes... but I want to be able to keep track of them so I can put them back in his playlists later... He's got... quite a few songs... I'm not sure how this can easily be done...
I'm extremely obsessive about keeping things organized... if I had the time I'd go through, use shazam, and correctly name all 33,000 songs... but it's just not reasonable... I need something that I can eradicate duplicates quickly and still maintain his playlists...
If anyone can help me out and maybe give me an idea... that would be incredibly awesome!

Thats a really good question I would also like to know the answer to that. Not to hijack the thread, but is there a way to have 2 libraries share 1 song (or many songs) but not all of the songs? SOunds like that may be what the issue is any way.

Have too many duplicates?

I've crashed my computer a couple times in the past, and luckily I've always been able to get on one last time to back everything up. I often wind up with a back up of a back up of a back up... and have mutiple copies of the same song. I know iTunes has a way to see duplicated, but I have enough music like the beatles where there are multiple, unique versions of the same song, it get to be a hassle.
I highly suggest getting Duplicate Cleaner (http://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/content/duplicate-cleaner). Since iTunes will save copies as songname#, it will number the copies and it becomes difficult to find them because they have different file names. This program allows you to search files that have the same size within the same folder (like the music folder).
This isn't a spam post, just a genuine recommendation from someone who gets some annoying unique problems from my particular iTunes set up and the way I back up

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
See also this User Tip for an effective backup strategy.
