New Tool to find duplicates

While it doesn't appear to be Aperture-Library aware, here is a tool that may be useful to find duplicates:
http://www.lightandmatter.org/2011/software-reviews/finding-duplicates-use-anti- twin-to-locate-duplicate-or-similar-photos/

Do you know the Aperture version of "DuplicateAnnihilator"? I find it quite useful, but would like to know how it compares to your new tool.

Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

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.

To fix a wonky horizon... New tool?

Hey guys,
Photoshop as it stands is an excellent tool for design, retouching etc, but may I suggest a new tool that could help us people who love to create panoramas?
A wonky horizon tool is what we need!
Not all horizons from panoramas end up straight, curved or just up down wonky. But a tool that is a mix between the Pen Tool and Crop Ruler, would do the trick. i.e. you use the Pen Tool to draw along the wonky horizon, click 'straighten' and voila! Horizon is now straight.
Would this be possible in the realms of Photoshop? Would save many hours of headaches when PS doesn't Photomerge correctly.

I use CC and LR5 (full CC suite) and no, those ONLY straghten the straights and is more one dimensionsal (apart from profile corrections).
What I'm after is a tool that will straghten 'squiggly'lines.
EDIT: the closest thing to this is the Adaptive Wide Angle Filter, but that just ruins it. Can also use Puppet Warp, but again, quite restrictive.
Like in this image, no tool that I can find will fix this with ease, just a heap of warping will get it done, but degrades the final image:

How do I find duplicate songs which the latest itunes libary update does not show?

How do you find duplicate songs in itunes which the latest updated version of itunes does not show, where the older version did?

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content. It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).

How do i find duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

How do i find duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
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 into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
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.

Finding duplicate entries in address book

I am using Address Book 5.0.3, where I have been using LinkedIn's CardMunch to import contact details via my iPhone. However, I now end up with three distinct issues regarding duplicate entries:
1/ two people with the same name, e.g. John Smith, but I know they are two separate people and they work for different companies.
2/ After an import, I may have some duplicate entries, say Alan Walker, who has moved from company A to company B and I want to replace his old contact details with the new information.
3/ two duplicate entries the same name, say Brian Vickers, both of which refer to the same person who still works for the same company, but has new contact details or additional data, such as a mobile number that I did not have before.
4/ two duplicate entries that are identical. E.g. I imported the same card twice for some reason.
5/ multiple entries marked 'Cannot Read Name', where CardMunch had a problem, but I know they are different people and I have to edit these to manually enter the correct information.
Unfortunately the Address Book find duplicates function, whilst it works, does nothing useful. The only option I am presented with is 'Merge', which in all of the scenarios above apart from item 4 I do not want to do a merge function - I want to either 'Mark as NOT Duplicates' (item 1/), 'Replace Selected Fields' e.g. show me the two cards side by side and allow me to select which fields from which card are to be kept, replaced or removed and then implement the merge (item 2), "Add New Information' but allow me to select the label for that information before merging so that if someone has a new iPhone, but is still keeping their old mobile, I can select the field label correctly and then merge (item 3) or 'Edit Card' which allows me to open any identified duplicate and add in missing information that would mean that it is no longer a duplicate item.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this, or can Apple's developers please add these features to the Address Book App as soon as possible?
Thanks, Russ Taylor

books06,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends upon which version of Address Book you are using, and your definition of "view."
1. Address Book 3.1.1 Help
2. Address Book 4.0.3 Help: Combining duplicate cards and information
To find and merge duplicate cards:
1. Choose Card > "Look for Duplicate Entries."
2. Address Book tells you if it finds duplicate cards, cards containing duplicated information, or both.
3. Click Merge to merge duplicate cards and remove redundant information on cards.
When Address Book merges duplicate cards, it creates a single card for the contact containing all of the unique information from each merged card. Address Book uses the picture from the merged card appearing first in the list.
To merge selected cards only, Command-click to select the cards you want to combine and choose Card > Merge Selected Cards. Address Book creates a single card using the name and picture of the selected card appearing first in the list.;~)

How can I find duplicates in Photos app?

I have a lot of all images that I imported to my mac way back from my old iPhones into folders on my hard drive, I know that there's some duplicates in those folders. But I dragged in everything to the new Photos app to clean up all the mess and keep all my iPhone photos in the same place.
Is there a way to find duplicated images in my library? Or any 3rd-party apps that can help me out?
Thanks,
Nichlas

PS CS6 new tool for correcting converging verticals

Hello,
I came across a new tool in PS CS6, which has been introduced in this new version that can be used to correct converging verticals. I used it a couple of times in the past and now forgot its name and how to access it.
Basically it allows me to place lines on my picture that are supposed to be parallel and the tool them straightens out the picture intelligently without distorting it too much. It is ideal to correct edges of buildings that seem to converge.
I am familiar with Free Transform and basic Lens Correction filter, so I am pretty sure it was not one of these.
Please let me know if you can locate it.
Thanks
ZeeKay

It is not the new crop tool either.
Basically if you have used Autopano Giga, it allows you to place vertical lines on the image, say on some building's vertical edges that are converging. It then manipulates the image to make the vertical lines straight, hence straightening the building.
I looked under all the menus at this point and it is really frustrating not to be able to find it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
ZeeKay

Find duplicates in aperture

Is there a way to find duplicates/triplicates of the exact same file, especially the master, in Aperture (and iPhoto and iMovie)?
I'm finding that the longer I have Aperture running (referenced files), seems the more duplicates I am having show up.
Ideas? Solutions?
Thanks so much
Robert

thanks for the replies.
I recently switched from a G5 to th newest macbook pro (circa last fall). I decided that the only option that would keep me running was storage and lots of it, since I dabble somewhat seriously in photos and videos over the last few years.
I originally started with iPhoto, small digital camera on a simple G4 circa 2003 ish. Then I went to a used dual G5 around 2008 ish when I realized I was maxing out the old machine. But there was no going back. I like the interface, products, etc. I purchased Final Cut Express somewhere along the way, eventually got Aperture 2, and that really rocked my world. Put out some amaturish videos, but the family and I had so much fun. Relatives lined up for me to make videos...you probably know how that goes. Had to eventually put a stop to that, way too time intensive.
Cancer hit in 2008, spent 8 months in the hospital and am a different man now. I am alive, grateful to be, but deal with a body that is physically tired and has some ongoing medical challenges.
That leads me to the current.
My oldest daughter graduated from high school in 2011. I purchased her a 15" macbook pro. I did that thinking that I knew a new system was in the near future for me as the IBM chipset was being phased out. I saw the future. Also, the G5 dual was slowing down and it had some odd things about eSata and FW800 that just didn't make for smooth sailing with external hard drives.
I found out at first. I loved having a laptop. But I could not go without massive amounts of expandable storage. Just not an option. But I did discover that FW800 was reliable on her little laptop and that sort of opened doors for me to deal with storage issues.
By now, photos spread between iPhoto, Aperture 2, FCX Videos, and her laptop.
Well, graduation came and went and I had to relent on her laptop. I had just purchased Aperture 3 and was stunned at the amount of upgrades.
That left me with an Ap3 library on her computer, too.
Can y'all sort of get the drift where I'm going?
I now have a G4 (still runs like a charm), a G5, I pulled all her stuff off her MBP and stored it on a new hard drive FW800.
So what does a man who is insane do?
I purchased the latest everything, spared no expense. Ugh, the pocket book hurts. Bad.
But I have to say, Thunderbolt is everything it is cracked up to be. I have been stunned at the speed. I got the 12 TB station primarily as I don't want to keep purchasing this, that, and the other. I want to basically start taking the last 9-10 years of pictures, videos, files, and find a way to organize, clean up, consolidate, and so forth.
Oh, being a redundancy FREAK, I did purchase a drobo and buffalo as random duplicate TM backups and other file backups, nothing more. The Drobo does do hot swapping and such well, but it is S-L-O-W. Painfully so.
The buffalo I had some problems with. Technical support was super and replaced the unit that didn't function. The newer model was rather speedy through ethernet. Not bad, so I put that thing to regular use for redundancy.
I now have files spread out among various computers, large NAS externals, and multiple individual drives (FW800, USB, etc).
Oh, I purchased the thunderbolt display too. That surprised me. Cut down on the number of wires and helped organize the physical lay out.
As photography and such went from physical to digital, so did my camera and video. I went through a few video cameras, , digital cameras, and so forth as things evolved and I tried various formats. That leaves me with various digital formats, including 3G pics, newer iphone 4 and 4s pics/videos.
As all this upgraded, so did iLife and ways to manage data.
Not being a pro, I don't really know about "workflow". It is all fun for me. I did try me hand for a short while last year at a formal photography business, but found out being good at photoshopping pics and fairly decent at taking pics does not mean I would enjoy the "business" of photography. But what does one do at that point? Upgrade to a canon 7d and get a few nice lenses.
My logic was hey, I need this infusion of IViG every 28 days to sustain my life/immune system (chemo destroyed my bone marrow) and this costs about $13,000 every 28 days. Insurance covers most, but bottom line, we were sudden spending about $10,000 a year cash out of pocket. I shut the business down a few weeks ago as I physically am too tired and can't stay focused. Chemo brain is a true phenomenon I have come to find out.
So, after writing this small book to say that I am somehow trying to take the new way of doing things, fast external drive(s) with a laptop and TB display, and now try to clean up and consolidate this mess.
There is redundandcy, a lot of lack of knowledge on my part, and the recent purchases have now allowed me to start trying to get this entire pile of digital spread out jewels of memories into a more cohesive, organized, consolidated system.
Since I had to start referencing Ap3 files, that helped with the storage on the laptop drive. But it caused another problem: I can't see the referenced movie files on iMovie. If I can, I don't know how.
So I am now beginning the cumbersome slow project of pulling everything under the umbrella of iMovie that is movie related, then pulling everything that is a photographic image under the umbrella of Ap3. I had to consolidate various iphoto libraries (found a decent app for that), and so forth.
Yet, as I'm doing all this, I get this feeling that I may not need another set up for a good while. Point being, why not slow down this spurt of energy to organize and consolidate and THINK about it a bit. Ha. right? I mean, I'm doing what I have always done, which is evolve over time and just sort of grow larger and more cumbersome.
When this terribly original idea hit me a few weeks ago, I didn't initially think much about it except "get on it."
Now I'm starting to back up and say to myself, "what if I'm just taking a big conglomeration of so many spread out files, duplicating as I copy, and am not really making for an efficient workflow?"
Workflow is my new buzzword, my new thought. New to me. Quit laughing all you peeps who have it down. Some of us aren't that organized from the front side and look back 20/20 and say how in the world did I get here?
So now I'm reaching out, probably doing the smartest thing I've ever done, and trying to reach out to you all. When someone asked about about workflow, I thought "what does that mean?"
I think I am starting to get what it means, but could use some sharing of ideas/mentoring here. I'm guessing workflow means exactly what I am living: how to organize, move around, handle, and deal with all this data. Am I right on this?
I used to take it to mean, how did I have projects in Ap3 set up. Maybe that is a part of it, but I think (emphasis on think) that I am starting to realize workflow might just have a bigger meaning and application. In other words, how do I plan on organizing and dealing with ALL this digital data.
One example from this morning and I'll stop for the moment to allow for some great feedback. Since I couldn't get iMovie to see the referenced movie files in Ap3 (have preview sharing turned on), I decided that I wouldn't use Ap3 as my movie manager. So I take 420 varying kinds of files from iphones to the canon 7d and export them to my desktop.
Then I started thinking, I had better write all this out and reach out for some help before I just duplicate files and create another digital mess.
I was going to import them into iMovie. Seemed simple. It is, but many are duplicates. Then I thought I would go through and start naming, finding duplicates, blah blah. Talk about time consuming.
I'm willing to do all that if the concensus is that this is the best overall approach.
Someone mentioned the new Final Cut. I've held out, but might consider going that route for managing all movie files.
So here I am with tons of digital everything and I sure could use some wisdom on "workflow", "management," and basically setting myself up for the best pragmatic leveraging of the Apple set up for my intermediate future.
If you've read all this and have remained interested, you are an amazing person. If you have ideas and feedback, I will listen carefully. I think it is relatively clear that I am willing to purchase or do just about whatever needs to be done, I've just sort of fumbled my way to this point. Basically, I feel like a privileged kid dealing with pro equipment and not really utilizing it to its capacity, not even close.
I'll stop for now and will be back on in a few days to read the feedback and respond. I do appreciate your time and energy and feedback.
Thanks,
Robert

Deduping software- finding duplicate images help

I have a large collection of illustrations (in the thousands) and I often find duplicates within the collection, which I have to tediously identify one at a time. I'm interested in a deduping application that will not only identify duplicates, but also be able to find similar illustrations with slight variations (that have been altered using photoshop). The collection is entirely comprised of photoshop tiff files.
Any suggestions?

I use ThumbsPlus to locate duplicates with Image files. It has a Sort by Similarity, and its algorithms are pretty good. They keep being improved upon, with each new release. It is NOT freeware, but is not that expensive, from Cerious Software.
For all file types, Dupe File Finder does a very good job, but is not fast. Also, it does not display Image files, so it is not as easy to use visually, as ThumbsPlus is. I cannot recall if it was freeware, or shareware now. So far, it has been 100% correct for me.
Good luck,
Hunt

Find duplicate values in a vector???

Hi,
Can somebody help me please?????
I have a little problem, but I can't find it :-(
I have a vector with a lot of values,
The question is, how can I find duplicated values?
Vector VNumber = new Vector();
VNumber.addElement(Bknm);
/**Bknm->values read out of a file**/
for(int j=0;j<VNumber.size();j++){
System.out.printl("Bknm = " + Bknm.elementAt(j));
/**code for find duplicate values????**/
}

Its much easier to check items as they are going in, rather than parsing the Vector and finding dupes.
Vector VNumber = new Vector();
while(true)
   // Read next Bknm object here
   if(!VNumber.contains(Bknm))
      VNumber.add(Bknm);

How can i find Duplicate Rows in forms6i

Hi,
How can i find duplicate rows in multiple record in forms6i.
Thanks
Raghu.K

Oops, sorry for misreading your question. (However the SQL I gave you above is also very handy, and worth saving.)
Okay, this is off the top of my head and untested, but might just work. Assuming that your data block name is MYBLOCK, and that the item that you want to check for dups on is named MYNUM, create an item-level WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger with the following code.
declare
l_newest_record number(10) := :system.cursor_record;
l_newest_mynum number(10) := :myblock.mynum;
l_dup_found boolean := false;
begin
-- In this loop, we skip backwards through all new records to look for dups.
while :system.cursor_record > 1 loop
previous_record;
if :system.record_status = 'NEW' then
if :myblock.mynum := l_newest_mynum then
l_dup_found := true;
exit; -- Dup found!
end if;
else
exit; -- We've gone backwards past the first new record.
end if;
end loop;
-- In this loop, we return to the current record.
while :system.cursor_record < l_newest_record loop
next_record;
end loop;
if l_dup_found then
raise duplicate_row_found; -- user-defined exception
end if;
end;
The above code only checks for dups in the new form records. It assumes that a unique constraint in the database will deal with records actually committed.
