Multiple copies of images in Finder

In "All Images," I noticed that there are MANY copies of the same .jpg - sometimes up to 30 copies of the exact same picture file.
I also noticed that when I add one of these photos to iPhoto, yet ANOTHER copy appears in Finder...
Any idea why?
Any harm in deleting the dupes? (I have been moving them to the trash periodically).

Are you 100% certain that they are duplicates? *All Images* is a search. Everything that appears in that Smart Mailbox actually resides somewhere else. If you delete it from *All Images*, you are deleting the original, wherever it is.

MobileMe Album - Multiple Copies of Images

I created a MobileMe Album and published it in my gallery. I then added pictures to the album by selecting and dragging the photos into the album. The album in Aperture shows multiple images of the same picture. When I select one image, both appear to be selected. When I try to delete one of the copies - both are deleted as is the original. All copies and the original in all albums are gone. When I look at the album in my web gallery - all the photos are there with no duplicates, but they are not in the same order. Anybody have any advice as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure my description of my problem is strange, but so is Aperture. Help? Suggestions? thanks

FWIW, this appears to be an Aperture bug that's independent of MobleMe. I have the same problem in normal albums with no connection to MobleMe. If I copy an image from one album to another, multiple copies appear in the destination album and there's no way to prune the copies: removing one copy removes them all.

How can I gather multiple copies of photos on various devices into one central repository?

Various episodes over the years of making albums, assembling collections for export or import, migrating between machines, etc have resulted in multiple copies of images to be scattered, in some cases, in unexpected combinations on a couple of separate iPhoto libraries. Does the latest iPhoto (or Aperture, or ??) have means to identify and gather copies?
Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager can merge multiple libraries into one library while excluding duplicate image files.

Printing Multiple Copies of Same Image on Multiple Pages

I have Photoshop Elements 11 on a Windows 8 platform. I can NOT get it to print multiple copies of the same file on multiple pages. I need one file printed on one page multiple times. I have tried the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and nothing changes. It still just prints one and is done.
I use this for label printing, so I need it to print more than one copy at a time. It also is not saving the settings, so everytime I hit print, I have to readjust the print requirements. This just is not going to work when you need to print a few hundred copies at a time.

You can create your own picture package, if none of the options in the PSE print window>Type of Print work for you. Just make a blank file, copy/paste your image and alt drag it to make multiple copies. You can use the move tool to position things as you want them.
Generally speaking, though, for something like label printing, it's simplest to use PSE to create the image, then use your word processing/desktop publishing program to print the actual labels.

How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC. I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images. When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected. Neither is acceptable. How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image? I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file. This is what I have been doing as a work-around. But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
Thank-you!

A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.

How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

How to find multiple copies of pictures on the harddisk ?

Hi Everybody,
I have the feeling that many of my pictures have multiple copies in different locations on the harddisk which obviously occupies unneccessary space. Is there any way to easily search fro them in order to delete them e.g. similar to the function "show dublicate songs" in iTunes ?
Thanks
Tom

Tom:
iPhoto by design will have either two or three copies of the file. The original, full sized file, the thumbnail and a modified version if you've done any editing. That fact cannot be avoided. If you see duplicates while in the library then you can use Duplicate Annihilator. That should remove the types of duplicates that can be safely removed. Do not try removing any from the Finder! Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.

Multiple copies of the same picture

I am using iPhoto 8 with OS X 10.5.3. I have very little HD space available and need to clean up a very messy iPhoto library. I began by opening iPhoto and finding multiple duplicates of the same photos. I moved them to the TRASH and deleted them within iPhoto. However, when I reopen iPhoto, they are still there. When I use spotlight to look for where the copies are I will find them in a variety of locations: iPhotoLibrary/Originals or iPhotoLibrary/Data, or in iPhotoLibrary/(a folder that I made up, for example, a year the picture was taken. I want to trash all the duplicates, but I am not sure what the best way is to find the duplicates and then to select which one to keep.

To add a twist to Terence's directions on getting just your original files out and imported into a new library. Open the library and COPY the Originals folder out of the library. Open the Originals folder and do a search of it (Command-F) and search for images less than 1MB. Drag those found to the Trash in the dock.
Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library. When it's open drag the Original folder sans smaller files into the open iPhoto window. This will give you the same Events that you had in your earlier library. Might save you some organizational effort. Good luck.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Burning multiple copies of a project

Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but here goes.
After I build and format my first copy of a project, all subsequent copies get a message saying that a VIDEO_TS directory of this project already exists. Choosing Reuse will reuse as much of the current VIDEO_TS contents as possible.
Is this normal? By resuing am I getting a DVD with less data than the original?
I must not understand the process involved. Any help out there??
Thanks.
Jamie

What is the difference in burning a TS folder in TOAST or saving in .img and using DiskUtility to burn many DVD ?
I have many copies to burn, what is the best workflow ? The TS folder in Toast ( I have vesrion 5.2.3) or format in .img and use DiskUtility to burn ?
When burning multiple copies it is preferred to burn from an disc image file, which you could do with either Toast 5.2.3 or Disk Utility. What's vital is that the image file is UDF format.
Burning a VIDEO_TS with Toast 5.2.3 is prone to error because you have to use the DVD format in the Other tab, click New Disc, add the VIDEO_TS, create an empty AUDIO_TS and then click the burn button. And don't open the VIDEO_TS folder in the Finder before burning because that adds some invisible directory files that could affect the ability of the DVD to be playable. (Toast 6 and 7 automatically remove those files if present).
By the way, Toast 6 and 7 added the ability to select the quantity of discs you want burned.

Hp deskjet 1510 multiple copies

My HP Deskjet 1510 keeps making multiple copies of itself in my devices on windows 7. I've tried deleting the copies but they keep coming back can anyone help please for some reason its stopped letting me print.

Hi kieranraikes,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 1510 is making multiple copies. I am happy to help you! I would recommend the following:
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Powercycle the printer. (With the printer turned on, unplug the power cable from the back of the printer, and the wall outlet. Then wait 30 seconds, then plug the cable back in, wall outlet first. The printer will turn on automatically).
Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!

Multiple Copies of Songs on Iphone

I searched the boards and couldn't find a solution. I recently got an Iphone 4S and have several playlists set to automatically sync to my phone. When they sync a copy of the same song that is on multiple playlist is copied there for each playlist that the song is found on. I've tried to remove all playlist then set the automatically sync but it still copies the songs multiple times taking up unnececcary space on my phone. Any tips that or links that can help would be appreciated.

I don't know what happens but it stopped putting multiple copies on the iphone. Yesterday when i expanded the iphone and clicked on music and looked at the songs only one copy of the songs where on there instead of it being 3 or 4.

Multiple copies of JPEG on ePub export

I'm making copies of a JPEG image and using this image in multiple places in my inDesign document. In the links panel, I see the disclosure triangle that shows all the pages that I'm using that link. So, all good so far.
When I export the document to ePub, I would have expected there to be a single version of the JPEG file in the resulting ePub file. However, I have multiple copies of the JPEG file, all the same size, but with different names.
So, if my original JPEG file is 1234.jpg, I'll have the following derivatives of that file in the "images" folder of the ePub:
1234.jpg
12341.jpg
12342.jpg
12343.jpg
Then in the CSS and XHTML pages, the different uses of 1234.jpg will each reference their own version of the file, so:
Page 1 will reference 1234.jpg
Page 2 will reference 12341.jpg
Page 8 will reference 12343.jpg
etc...
This seems very wasteful to me, as my ePub is now much larger because it has all of the duplicated JPEG files. Is there any way to avoid this, or is this expected behaviour?
Thanks
William

I have ID CC 2014, 10.1.0.71
I am exporting to Fixed Layout ePub.
According to a previous post, this issue was addressed with the 10.1.0.70 release but that's not my experience, so wondering if there is any other solution than going through and editing the CSS generated code?

Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

Hi,
I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer.
I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2. I don't know why it's been doing this. Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2. After the restore, the same problem consisted. Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too. I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song. For example, choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library. They are just examples) but it keeps the name. So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough. I tried the best I could. I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5. I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having? I already tried the restore. I don't know what else to do.

I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

Running multiple copies of an App on one NetWeaver server

Hi there, (V12 with ERP/ECC transactions)
We are setting up our landscapes/environments for development, beta testing, final QA and production. I am wondering if we can combine development and beta testing on the same system.
The obvious concern is that they will have copies of the "same" transactions. If we don't do anything special, the data source name is hard coded in the transaction and as we are on the same MII server, they can't point to different data sources unless we edit the transactions. Is there a way to have a transaction use a configuration of some sort to dynamically specify the actual data source?
Are there any other issues attempting to do this?
Thanks,
--Amy Smith

Thanks Jeremy,
Thanks for the suggestion Jeremy.
Our server is not capable of another instance. It is not easy to get our SAP Basis people to install and configure a new system and we are not allowed to do it ourselves. I was trying to find a way to use our existing instance of NetWeaver/MII to run multiple copies of the application. In J2EE apps I have worked on, it is as simple as copying the software, changing the URL, changing the application config files for the data source and deploying the new duplicate app under a different name.
Seems that in MII the transaction "hard" links the data source name to the data source definition and that link is not dynamically configurable. Would that be a fair statement?
Thanks again,
