IPhoto's Faces has created duplicate photo, events, and small photos capturing just faces

i bought this MBP late last year and import iPhoto Library from old MBP. Faces feature has created many thousands small photos capturing just faces of people in the photos.
It also created lots of duplicated photos.
How to delete these photos in batch?

Larry,
Sorry for the delay. I have tried copy the iPhoto Library from the old MB via the external HDD as following screenshot.
However, when i plug this exrternal HDD to the new MBP. it turned out to bew the folder as photo attached below. I am not sure if this is because they use different version or not (but i guess not).
pls advice.

IPhoto has created a mega event and removed others

Hi.
iPhoto appears to have taken a whole year of my photos and gathered them into one event of the past 12 months - thus removing all my carefully named events over the past year.
Anyone else seen this or have an idea if I can go back to where I was with all my old named events, or will I have to split a whole year's worth of events all over again?
Thanks,
Simon

have an idea if I can go back to where I was with all my old named events,
Restore a backup copy of the iPhoto library made just before this problem occurred. Like from Time Machine.
If you have no backup the best you can do is set the time interval for each Event, i.e one event per day or week, in iPhoto's General preference pane.
Now click on the one event and select the Events ➙ Autosplit Events menu option.
That will create an event based on the interval you set in the general prteference pane.

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!!

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

No, you can't delete all your events. You could merge them all together so you'd have just one, but doing so would hardly save any space, just as putting all your documents in a single folder would hardly save any space. It's the documents and photos themselves, not the containers and subcontainers in which they are organized, that really take up space.
If you have additional iPhoto questions, I suggest posting them in the iPhoto forum where the real gurus hang out.

IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2: If I permanently delete the photos in IPhoto trash, will the same duplicate photos be deleted from the Events library?

For IPhoto '09, version 8.1.2: If I permanently delete the photos from the IPhoto trash, will any of the duplicate photos in the IPhoto library also be deleted?

1. There are no duplicates in iPhoto unless you imported two or more copies of the same photo
2. If you are useing the defaults in iPhoto and delete a photo from an event and empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash all versions of the photo will be gone

IPhoto-iPhone sync creates duplicate photos

Every time I sync my iphone with iPhoto, it duplicates photos. It's not photos that were taken with the iphone, but photos that I have imported from other sources, such as wallpaper images. Every week or so I go through and delete hundreds of duplicates. It does this even when specify NOT to import duplicates. Is there any way to stop this behavior?
Thanks!

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and delete it ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) launch iPhoto and reset any user preferences you have changed and if you have moved the location of the iPhoto library repoint to it

Revel Private Albums create duplicate photos in Elements 12

The problem is: some photos are duplicated in Photoshop Elements 12. The duplicates appear after sharing a 'Private Web Album' to Adobe Revel. The Private Web Album works correctly: In Photoshop Elements, it is listed as a 'Mobile Album.' Online, on Adobe Revel, the album is created and the photos are available.
After a while, the same photos are copied back to the computer's hard drive, and added to the Elements catalog. The original photo remains in the correct location (C:\Users\John\Pictures\...) The new duplicate photo is added to the C:\Adobe Revel\... folder.
Any ideas? Thanks!
PhotoShop Elements 12.1, Windows 8.1

Hi John,
Since you are using the same Adobe ID for both services, duplication is happening. Please try this-
create a mobile album in left pane, add some files that you want to share, click on the Share icon present infront of album name in Mobile Albums panel, and share.
Thanks

How do I prevent/fix iCloud from creating duplicate CONTACTS "notes" and recurring CALENDAR items?

I use a PC with Outlook 2010 at my office. At home I use and iMac. My mobile devices are an iPad & iPhone. I just upgraded all operating systems and switched from Mobile Me to iCloud. Everything (new appointments, new contacts) seems to sync as it should with a couple of exceptions;
1) In the "notes" sections of my CONTACTS I now have triplicates of all of my "notes" for each individual contact (with thousands of contacts it would be impossible to clean this up one at a time). Does anyone know how to easily fix this so that I only have 1 set of notes for each contact?
2) Regarding the CALENDARS...in Outlook and the other devices, I'm only running the iCloud calendars (all others are unchecked) however, there are multiple Calendars that seem to have been created. I've deleted all calendars that aren't necessary or don't appear to be used, however in my iOS devices (iphone & ipad) when I tap the CALENDARS button to open the SHOW CALENDARS pane, I can scroll down and see a section that says "Other" and has a "Birthdays" calendar which is obviously pulling the data from Outlook. This "birthday" calendar doesn't show up anywhere in Oulook. 95% of my contacts were originally created in Outlook and when known, I have put their birthdays, anniversaries, etc. in the corresponding fields. Normally, this would create a recurring event/reminder in Outlook but now I have 2 to 4 of the same event in each device. If I delete the redundant Birthdays/anniversaries, etc. (shown in grey & blue on my calendar vs. another little icon of a birthday present) on the iOS devices the calendar on Outlook will no longer show these events (90% of the time I'm relying on my Outlook calendar at work for these reminders). I would like to be able to see the same data as only 1 occurence of each event across each of my devices. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

The problem may be that the iphone is immediately syncing with icloud and losing the newly restored data. You might turn off your router. Once restored, turn off icloud on the device, turn on the router, then turn on the iphone.
(I'm going by memory on this, and that hasn't been too reliable lately.)

Hi Stan,
I would like to use my custom action listener rather that using the the normal actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
But some how this event is not being fired.
Any suggestions to fire this?

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.

IPhoto problem with "date created" on photos when moving to Ext HD

I'm unable to copy or backup photos from iPhoto onto an external HD w/o iPhoto changing the original date and time information for the photos. I've exported them and dragged them, with different results, but the "date created" changes every time. It changes the date the original photo was taken (which is displayed for each photo in iPhoto), either changing it to the date that I edited the photo or the date that I moved the photo onto the Ext HD. Any solutions?

Thanks for the responses, Larry and Terence.
I understand that there is a difference between the photo date and the file date, and I think I understand what is going on when I try to copy my photos onto my External HD. What I don't understand is why the EXIF data from each photo can't be transferred along with the photo. The only date information that comes with it (via Finder) is the following:
1) If I drag photos into a file I've named and created on my ExtHD, finder changes the "date created" from the date the photo was taken to the date that I moved the photo from my laptop onto my destop Mac, not the date that the photo was taken.
2) If I use the export function to attempt to put photos on my ExtHD, finder changes the "date created" and the "date modified" to the current date and time on every photo. (And who would even want that information?)
What I want is for each photo to display the date and time that I actually TOOK the photo. Is that so hard to do?
Why does Finder switch to some sort of filing date instead of keeping the EXIF data that it seems most people would prefer?
I hate to say this, but when I had a PC this was as easy as pie. No problems, EVER. And now that I have a Mac, my photo library on my ExtHD (where I store my photos for safekeeping -- in addition to Time Machine) is a mess. My folders display the date, but the photos inside each file are incorrectly dated.
Melinda
P.S. I have Mac OS X, Version 10.5.8, and would need the 10.6 version or higher to use the Better Finder app that Terence mentions. Do you think I should update to get that program? Is that program free or do I have to pay for it? Would that solve my problems?

Why does iCloud creates duplicate play lists and songs

Since activating the cloud I end up with duplicate songs on my PC. Also my existing PC play lists (which I use for my iPod and iTouch) have been renamed with a "1" after them and the original play lists now appear to be only iCloud songs (some of my regular songs have not been uploaded to the "cloud".
The duplicate songs in the iTunes play list number over 1000 as I have a library of about 3500 songs - which is very time consuming to delete them especially since I have to check which play list the songs belong to before I delete the duplicates. It would be nice if:
a) the system did not redownload songs from the cloud that are already in my existing library and,
b) if Apple software engineers displayed the playlist(s) for each song so one can more quickly manage the removal of duplicate songs.
Also, during my last sign-on to the cloud it created its own playlists (that is it renamed my existing playlists by adding a 1 to the name and then in fact usurped existing playlists by setting them up with only the songs available in the cloud. Is there any way to stop that? Thank you,

For events... on the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then restart the Mac. Hopefully that will stop the duplicates.
You can delete photos by Resetting your Photo Stream
