Iphoto - how to identify duplicates?

When merging events, the old version of iphoto would identify duplicates which then made it easier to delete those duplicates. Having updated to ilife 11, the new version of iphoto does not seem to have this function. I synched my iMac with my Mac book and for some reason, some events were duplicated or even tripliated, thus I need to delete a lot of photos resp. events. I need to make sure that I do not trash singlets...HELP!

For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator
How did you sync your iMac and MacBook? iPhoto doesn't have a 'sync' feature. Did you import one Library to another?

  • How to identify duplicate images?

    After recently upgrading to PSE5 I've noticed that my catalog contains various duplicate images. On closer inspection these are identical images (same file name) stored in different directories, so I'm happy that PSE is working correctly.
    Can anyone suggest a method to identify these duplicate images, which will then help me to delete them?

    Along the same line as Colin: If you look on Google for "finding duplicate photos" there are lots of software products, both free and shareware, which claim to find duplicates on a PC. I have not used any particular one, so I can not recommend any particular one.
    You could find the duplicates, remove one set, open Organizer and do a Reconnect All Missing and then Remove From Organizer. This would clean up the Organizer. The hiccup would be if you had Photo 1 and SamePhoto 1 in Organizer with SamePhoto 1 tagged. When you delete the file and remove the missing link, you lose the tag and you would have to re-tag Photo 1.
    Is there any pattern that all the duplicates are in the same folder (would be easy to remove the one folder) or do they seem to be scattered about?

  • How to delete duplicate iphotos in the iphoto library

    iphoto version 9.6.1(910.42)
    macbook pro
    I needed help on the duplications of iphotos
    I'm experiencing multiple duplications

    Where are you seeing these duplicates? In the iPhoto window or via the Finder?  If it's in the iPhoto window  these applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    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.
    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.

  • Imported photos and got duplicates - how to identify and remove duplicates?

    Hi all,
    I am running iPhoto '08 and it has worked very well.
    Yesterday, I imported a folder containing photos and I knew that some of the photos already existed in my iPhoto Library. But not concerned, when I know that iPhoto will detect duplicates.
    Well, strangely enough, iPhoto did anyway import some of the photos that resultet in me getting in duplicates anyway. The wierd thing though, is that not every "duplicate" was imported. Some of them iPhoto informed med "hey this already exist, want to import anyway?". I choosed that duplicates should not be imported and that should go for all photos that are duplicates.
    Now, my question is:
    Is there a way in iPhoto to identify duplicates in the iPhoto Library?
    If so, it would be great to be able to remove the duplicates!
    Anyone got a solution to my issue?
    Sincerely,
    Andreas

  • How do I stop iPhoto 11 from making duplicates when importing whole library from an older MAC?

    I just bought a Mac Mini, and i tried to import the iphoto library from my PowerMac G5 (iPhoto 6).    It duplicates many of the photos so that there more than twice as many photos in the new machine.  I was looking at the photos and some of the duplicates are just resized photos.  I guess older versions of photos.
    Is there a way to just import the latest versions of photos?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    No it's not a good idea.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    Don't use copy and paste, try drag and drop.
    If that still fails then rebuild the Library to the new location:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.  

  • Keynote: how can you make Keynote identify duplicate slides

    I am new at Keynote, and haven't been able to find a discussion or support to answer a (probably obvious) question: when you have a very large presentation with 150 or so slides, what do you do to identify duplicates? I cannot find anything in drop-down menus, etc. that can help, and I think I may have several in this presentation..... thank you for help.

    Short of searching for unique text expression, nothing. KN is consumerware not DTPware.

  • How to hide duplicate photos that origins from the photo stream and imported photos?

    Hi,
    I are using my camera both with an IPad (through SD-card reader) and directly to my iMac.
    I want to keep the full photo archive on the iMac.
    Now the problem, that I encounter, is that if I use the iPad to look at the photos, those photos will be transfered to the photo-stream.
    Then later when I import all my photos from the camera to the i Mac, those photos that I happened to import to the iPad will show up as duplicate in iPhoto.
    Of course I only want one copy of a photo regardless if they arrive from the photo-stream or through a direct import to my iMac.
    Is there a way to fix this problem or is it simply a bug?
    I think it would be rather easy for the iPhoto software to detect duplicates and hide them.

    You can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95

  • How to find duplicates in aperture

    How to find duplicates in aperture

    Aperture has no tool to search and remove duplicates. It relies on the option "Do not import duplicates", when you import images to Aperture.
    To identify duplicates search for them manually by sorting images by date or filename, or use third party tools.
    See Old Toad's list in the pos below: Most of the apps work also for Aperture:
         Re: iPhoto not asking about duplicates on importing
    i am using PhotoSweeper .It can also identify duplicates in different resolutions or edited duplicates, and lets you control the rules for marking a photo for removal - the newer one, the smaller one, the one without captions or keywords, etc.

  • HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...
