IPhoto/5S/Macbook Air/Yosemite Duplicate Photo Question

I own a 5S and Macbook Air 2011 running Yosemite. When I connect my phone to my computer to upload photos from phone to computer, duplicates appear in iPhoto. This is not a result of cloud/photosharing bc I don't use them. I also don't use the HDR function on my phone. Can someone tell me why this could be happening? Thanks!

It's bug and other posts on the forum found a simple workaround: open the camera app on the phone, then connect it.

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I reinstalled operating system software on my MacBook Air (Yosemite 10.10.3) and tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I was able to install the software into my Applications folder but I was unable to enter the serial number or go any further with the installation. When I click on the Adobe Acrobat icon in the Applications folder, nothing happens.

Hi Tom,
kindly check the System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)
For serial number message try:
Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4
Thanks,

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

I deleted iphoto on Macbook Air, how do i get it back?

Reinstall it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

That is correct. Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work. Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
You must be using supported devices:
OS X Yosemite: supported devices for Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Phone Calling, SMS, and AirDrop

Macbook Air - where is Photos vs iPhoto

I undertand iPhoto is gone with 8.0.2 but how do I put Photos on my Macbook Air? Also, Airdrop no longer working with my iPhone 6.

Thanks Barney re: Airdrop. iPhoto is on my Air but locked now - won't allow access. I have Photo on my 6 which the book doesn't recognize. Trying a backup of the 6 to my book now but maybe I should just let things be until Yosemite.
Did you recently upgrade to Mavericks? There is an update for iPhoto that works with Mavericks. Check Software Update (App Store Updates).

Syncing Photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto on Macbook Air

I have synced my photos from my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Air through iPhoto to free up storage. I do not have a single picture in my camera roll, but on my iPhone in storage settings, it says that Photos and Camera are still taking up 7.2GB of memory (Specifically: Photo Library - 7.2GB, Synced from iTunes Library - 0.7 KB, and Shared Photo Stream - 4.1 KB). How do I completely delete this photos off of my iPhone to free up storage without erasing them from my iPhoto on my Macbook?

Check Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library (Beta) = "Off"
You may then need to reset the iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
iCloud Photo Library is not on your Mac yet.

IPhoto Yosemite duplicates Photos while importing from iPhone

Hi guys,
I have one open issue, with iPhone after Yosemite upgrade: if I connect my iPhone 5s and import pictures, I find a new event but all the imported photos are duplicated.
It's very annoying because I have to remove them manually and I wonder why it happens.
Before Yosemite, everything was working fine.
Thanks for support.
My iPhone release is 9.6 (build 910.29)
Kind Regards,
francesco

Hi guys,
Unfortunately the answer is "not" to both your suggestions.
- HDR: yes, I keep original photos as I was keeping it before Yosemite update. So HDR photos were two, the original and the HDR one.
Now even the simple photo (= no HDR, btw the majority in my camera roll...) is duplicated when imported in iPhoto.
- PhotoStream and a second time via USB: what do you mean?
I have photostream disabled (I don't want photo sync in the cloud).
What I do is very simply and it's exactly the same to what I was doing some weeks ago before Yosemite:
- shoot photo on iPhone, without or with HDR;
- plug iPhone to iMac and import photo to iPhone
- now, with Yosemite, all no-HDR photos are duplicated (if I export them, the file name is IMGxxxxx_2.jpg)
I have just disabled the auto-opening of iPhone while connecting iPhone to iMac (iPhoto was already disabled, I have disabled now even Image Capture).
Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air and transferring photos

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air. I have a late 2009 MacBook with about 80gB of iPhoto photos and a bunch of other random pics within the picture folder. I also have an external hard drive which has a huge number of unorganised photos and folders of photos from many sources both Mac and PC.
What will be the best way to import everything to the new Mac? I was thinking of putting eveything from the MacBook onto the hard drive just with drag and drop and then importing into my new Air through iPhoto. Is this the best option? Will iPhoto sort the duplicate photos and give me the option to not import them? Will it copy the photos to the MacBook so I have access to the photos when the drive isn`t connected?

You need to clarify:
a: Some of this material is just loose photos in folders?
b: Some is an actual iPhoto Library?
In the case of the iPhoto Library - under no circumstances import anything, just move it.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Fo the other material just add them to the Library after it has been moved to the new machine.

Copy of iPhoto for Macbook Air & iMac?

I have iPhoto on my Macbook Air, but I purchased a used iMac which does not have iphoto. Do I have to purchase iPhoto from the Mac store for copy on my iMac? I want the abillity to organize photos on both computers. Can I copy iPhoto from the Mackbook Air to the iMac?

The iPhoto app did not appear in the purchase list. After more research I discovered the new version of iPhoto is not compatible with Snow Leopard OS and I will need to purchase an old version of iLife if I want iPhoto on my iMac running Snow Leopard.
