IPhoto for iPad duplicates photos in library photos web syncronizing ... How avoid and delete duplicates photos ?

Can someone help ? My Photos Library is so huge with 4-5 copies of the same photo ......

Basically you need the photos available a tthe path the they had when they were imported, check the option to copy imported items to the iPhoto library and then you use the iplm rebuild -
Photo Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a referenced library into a managed library but only if the original photos are accessable via the path in iPhoto
Or if you have iPhoto '11 9.4.2 and Aperture 3.3 or newer you can use Aperture to reconnect the photos

How do you delete a photo or album in iPhoto on an iPad?

I want to delet some photos on iPhoto on my iPad. How do I do it?
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

Vernon,
how did you create your album or import your photos to iPhoto?
Not all photos and albums can be deleted iPhoto. If you synced the photos from your Mac, they can only be dleted by removing them from the synced albums on your Mac and syncing again. Only photos taken with your device can be deleted directly from your device using the Photos.app. Photos in the edited album, or tagged albums will be removed from these albums by removing the tags.
Delete photos
Depending on how your photos and video clips were added to iPhoto, do one of the following:
Photos and video clips taken with your device: Open the Photos app on your device, tap Camera Roll, tap to select the photos, and tap .
Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Photos in the Beamed, Photo Box, iTunes, or [App] album: Tap a photo, tap (tap Edit if you don’t see the tool), tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete.

Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

Where are my photos and albums?

Hello,
I had over 1200 photos in IPhoto and they’re all gone! When I opened IPhoto, it looked like it had never been used and there are no photos are in the trash bin.
This is what happened, I was deleting a few things in HP Gallery trying to clean things up and I had to leave my home to do an errand. When I got back and opened IPhoto, all of the photos and albums were gone.
Luckily, I have a back up file with all the photos, but I no longer have any of the albums. Here are the files I believe I deleted from HP Gallery: Library.IPhoto, Thumb 32.data, Thumb64.data, and ThumbJPG.data. Do any of these files have anything to do with the missing photos and albums? If so, can I restore IPhoto with the albums?
I have spent hundreds on hours scanning family photos and creating albums in IPhoto to give to family members. The thought of sorting through 1200 plus photos, trying to recreate these family albums is depressing. What could of happened?
All comments appreciated!!!

Hi don,
You run into problems when you have another program accessing iPhoto's important files.
The Library.iPhoto contains all your album info plus much more. The Thumb files can be recreated on a rebuild. If you trashed the first file, then no you cannot get your album info back.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
You will have to create a new library by following the next directions:
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and choose it.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

How do you delete a photo library album in OS 6.1.3

I was syncing my 4s iphone using OS 6.1.3. I didn't have the prefs correct and it added an album of very old photos and takes up much space.
How can I delete it? It will allow me to edit the photo but there is no option to delete the photos or the entire album.
Tnx,
Marie

I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album)

I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize" or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

How do I move photos in iphoto for ipad from album to album ?

how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

In IPhoto or IPad, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with only edited photos. How do I keep it in or get it back to its original album?

When using IPhoto for IPad, can I move photos from one album to another? For instance, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with other edited photos. How do I keep it in or move it back to its original album?

That will depend on the kind of album your photo is in.
Most albums in iPhoto are created automatic by the way you are using and editing your photos, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkb9b1e2a
When you edit your photo, the edited copy is added to the automatic "edited" album and the view switches to he edited album. But the photo should stay in its original album - do you see something different? Only if you want the edited photo in the camera roll and the photo strea as well, you have to save the edited copy to the camera roll again after editing, otherwise the camera roll will show the original and not the edted version.

Organise photos within Album in iPhoto on iPad

Yesterday I purchased the iPhoto app for my iPad, this is due to someone recommending it to me as an easy option of presenting artwork as a portfolio. I have a batch of JPEGs in an album that I want to display in a certain order, so I named them for example 'iPad app_p01' 'iPad app_p02' and so on. But when I synced the album into iPhoto on the iPad the photos are in a random order and the only option I have is to view them by newest or oldest, no option for by name.
Please can someone help me, this seems like a really obvious option to include in a photo app.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The iPad only sorts by date, and the date is the "date modified", so if you change the version name, you are modifying the date.
I have not tried it myself, but this post looks promising: Re: How do I sort events in iPhoto for iOS?

In using Photos and iPhoto on iPad 3 - does not sort Albums in either program! How do I sort?

How do I sort Albums using Photos or iPhoto for iPad 3?
Thanks!

Spare yourself the frustration of sorting photos with the Photo App.
Use a 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro. You'll be able to drag the photos to any position you want.

How can I arrange my events in iPhoto for iPad?

How to arrange my events in the new iPhoto for iPad?

The first thing I noticed when I started iPhoto on my iPad for the first time was that the photo changed their order from the album in the Photo app. That means if I try to make a slide show the photos are not arranged the way I would want them. My photos were originally arranged in time order on iPhoto on my Mac and that arrangement came through to the photo album in the Photo app. But not in iPhoto on the iPad. I wonder why?
Also, to make a slide show on my iPad I seem to be stuck with the photos in that messed up sequence. Seems like anyone who makes a slide show might want to rearrange the order of their photos of better impact. Hopefully this will be addressed in a future update.
Or perhaps I'm missing something. Anyone know how to change the order of the photos in the preview thumbnails?

Need to arrange photos in order, can't use iphoto. *****.

Spent lots of time @apple store today, found no solution. Desperate.
Need to put my photos in a particular order. I'm a PC and have an older beater ibook G4 (OSX 10.4.11). Ipad won't play with the iBook so arranging pics in iphoto isn't an option.
is there a cheap/direct route to upgrading the ibook to an ipad-friendly version OS? or...?
i bought the ipad to use a digi portfolia. suuuuuuper disappointed i can't do something as basic as arranging photos on it. baaaad apple!

Here’s the method I use to achieve iPhone picture folders in which images are sorted the way I want. Using Adobe Lightroom 3, I create a Collection called “iPhone-Nature”, populate it with images and drag them into the order I want. In Grid Mode, I select all the images in “iPhone-Nature” and export them using a Preset that’s also named “iPhone-Nature”.
As stated at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 ...
“Your iPhone device will look for the following EXIF tags within your pictures:
Capture Date
Date Time Digitized
Date Time Original
Last Modified”
If the above EXIF data are missing, the iPhone “sorts these photos by the date the files themselves were created.”
So, it’s critical to ensure that the first 4 EXIF are not included in the image files and then create the files in the order in which you wish them to appear in your iPhone’s folders.
Here are the values I use for my Export Preset named “iPhone-Nature”:
EXPORT LOCATION---
Export To = (choose ‘Pictures Folder’ from menu)
Add To This Catalog = unchecked
Existing files = Ask what to do (You shouldn’t ever be asked—the folder should already be empty as discussed below.)
FILE NAMING---
Rename to: Choose ‘Edit” from the menu, delete any contents from the the field, type “Nature”, Insert the ‘Sequence # (001)’ token then press ‘Done’.
Start number = “1000” (The example shown should be “Nature1000.jpg)
Extensions = Choose “Lower case” (It probably doesn’t matter.)
(Note: The images don’t really need to be renamed—they’ll be sorted in their creation order—but, maybe iPhone will return to sorting images by their file names someday. Including “Nature” in the filename is for clarity and to avoid any problems there might be with having multiple files named 001.jpg in several folders on the iPhone.)
FILE SETTINGS---
Format = JPEG
Color Space = sRGB
Quality = 80
Limit File Size To = unchecked
Include Video Files = checked (if you want to include them)
IMAGE SIZING---
Resize to Fit = Long Edge, 960 pixels
Resolution = 240 pixels per inch
Don’t Enlarge = unchecked (or checked if you wish)
OUTPUT SHARPENING---
Sharpen for ‘Screen’
Amount = Standard
METADATA---
Minimize Embedded Metadata = checked (This is really important!)
WATERMARKING---
Watermark = unchecked (or add one if you want)
POST-PROCESSING---
Choose ‘Do Nothing’
SAVE THE ABOVE AS A PRESET!
Press the [Add] button (lower left corner) and save these setting as a Preset named “iPhone - Nature”
(Note: If you make changes to any setting, hover your mouse over the Preset’s name, right-click and choose “Update with Current Settings” so they’ll be available next time you use that Preset.)
FIRST-TIME EXPORT:
1. Select Lightroom Library’s Collection “iPhone - Nature”
2. In Grid Mode, ensure that you images are sorted the way you want them (for manually-sorted images: View, Sort = User Order)
3. Select all images (or just the ones you want)
4. Press Export
5. Choose the “iPhone - Nature” Preset then press [Export]
6. Wait for Lightroom to complete the Export
7. Connect iPhone to computer
8. In iTunes, click on the iPhone Device then Click on Photos and ensure that only selected folders will be imported from your Pictures Folder and that “Nature” is checked.
9. Press [Sync] (in lower right corner)
SUBSEQUENT EXPORTS:
1. Delete all files from Pictures/Nature
2. Sync iPhone (verify that Nature is then no longer among Photo’s albums)
3. Complete the steps listed under FIRST-TIME EXPORT.

Albums in iPhoto on ipad

I am using iPhoto on my iPad. How can you create an Album in iPhoto? I can share, email, creat journals, etc....but how can I take photos uploaded on my iPad sitting in photo stream, and creat an album out of them?

Greetings Ted,
Albums are created in the Photos.app, not in iPhoto. Once you make an Album in Photos.app it will show up in iPhoto. See page 48 of your iPad manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Hope that helps.

IPhoto : photo wihout album not showing up

Hello,
In iPhoto, i use Smart Album "Album not any" to class my photos in different album. Lately, when i am syncing iPhone with my Macbook, no new photos shows up in that album (they pop in Library though), as if they had already an album...
I wanted to see if there was a problem with iPhotos, so i deleted all my albums. Then I created a smart album "Album not any", and only 2000 photos shows up (library has 3000).
Would you know how to fix that issue ?
Thank you!
Jinme

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
Regards
