Photo duplication recognition software

After moving around file structures, I lost all my photos in iPhoto 6. The great people at Apple were able to fish them out of the trash and cyber world, and for that I am so thankful...BUT
It seems that every photo has been duplicated - that means I have over 20,000 photo's, half are duplicates. They are all on an external hard drive, and after spending about 4 hours trying to sort through them and delete the duplicates (not getting far), I figure there must be another option.
So does anyone know of GOOD software that works on Mac OS 10.4.11 with iPhoto 6 that will recognize duplicate photo's and delete one of them? I'm looking for anything, a download, something to purchase, but I really want something good - ie - run it, and let it do all the work!
Any suggestions?

  • IPhoto nightmare. Tried to import photos using Nikon software for the first time and all my photos disappeared from iPhoto 8.1.2 (and everything from itunes too). Newly reinstalled iPhoto crashes as soon as I import anything now.

    Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

    not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

  • My files, photos, email files, software programs, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt. Lion).  How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?

    Will someone please help me?

    My email did transfer over.
    Thank you.

    First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it.  If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade?  Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

  • Why is the voice recognition software so slow sometimes?

    What determines the responsiveness of the voice recognition software on the texting application on the iphone5?

    Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off & on & a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower & hangs.
    Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site & app.
    I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
    Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

  • Best speech recognition software for Mac?

    What is the best speech recognition software available for a Mac? I want to be able to control my computer by voice while I lecture. I am aware of Dictate but hoping there is something better on the market.
    Thanks,
    todd

    The problem is a matter of market. Good speech recognition software is expensive to develop, and it's a small market. Even smaller for Macs. MacSpeech has been providing speech recognition products for several years, now, and Dictate is their newest product having been licensed from Dragon. This is the best speech recognition software available on either platform.

  • How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    How do I get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

  • Why would make a voice recognition software and not give it the ability to unlock your iphone for you?

    Seriously why would you make a voice recognition software on a phone that can't unlock your phone for you? That makes absolutly no sense. Maybe you should consider adding that feature in your next update.

    Nothing is difficult for the person who doesn't have to do it or doesn't understand it. I would never use it on a device based on the current state of the art; it would be too easy to spoof. Keep in mind that Siri does not do speech recognition on the phone; it does it on Apple's (actually Nuance's) servers; it sends your input over a data connection to the server where the work is actually done, then the reply is sent back. Using the same technology for speaker identification would mean keeping a database of potentially 500 million users and being able to search it fast enough to unlock your phone. AND it would require a data connection. So you couldn't unlock your phone in Airplane mode, for example.
    So that means that it would have to be able to recognize your voice entirely on the phone. I'm reasonably sure that's not what Samsung does; I suspect what they do is speaker independent recognition of your chosen passphrase, possibly taking into account tonality. Which means that anyone who heard you unlock your phone with a voice in the same pitch range as you could unlock it after stealing it. It also wouldn't work very well in a noisy environment.
    I love Touch ID. It works perfectly almost every time, I don't have to say anything (which is a great convenience when using your phone in a meeting), and it's faster than speaking a phrase. And to use a voice password you would still have to push a button to wake the phone; on my 5S pushing the button wakes AND unlocks the phone. I don't have to say a thing.

  • What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?

    What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
    I am using OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac with an Epson CX8600 printer/scanner.

    My new Brother multifunction came with Presto PageManager. I can't recommend that it in the least. Its OCR is terribly inaccurate to the point of being unusable in my tests. Even normal sentences came out mashed together.
    I wanted to try IRIS, but it has no test version, just videos, that I could find, and emails to them just led to a Windows demo that is irrelevant. They ignored my email asking about a Mac demo, so I could not even try it out. That pretty much knocks it out of the running for me as this software is too expensive to just buy based on their promotional videos alone.
    Then there's Vuescan, and it's not too bad for OCR and supports about every device you could possibly conceive of using, and that's a plus. It was fairly accurate, but not as accurate as Finereader Pro. The interface is a bit complex to my taste.
    I've been testing out ABBYY Finereader Pro, and they do have a demo, and so far it seems to be the most accurate of what I've been able to test. It gets pretty close to everything on English and Spanish, and supports most common languages (check the list on their website). It even properly recognized syllables of phonetic Tibetan (using Roman alphabet, but it will not detect Tibetan). The UI is pretty good, but not perfect and there's no way to train for odd words you might need. I haven't tried it for Chinese or Japanese, but for my purposes, unless I find something more economical, I'll buy this one for its accuracy.
    I really suggest you download demos and try them for yourself as none of these are particularly cheap

  • Satellite C660 - Cannot start Face Recognition software

    When I try and run the face recognition software I get a window saying to contact my administrator - I have administration status on the the Satellite C660 laptop.
    Forum searches I have found have not helped in that any time I try and follow advice I still get the same message. The laptop is new.

    Hi Sorry but I seem to have mixed up my username and password and had to create a new one LY2! This has taken longer to reply than I had hoped.
    I have not tried either of the two suggestions so far but wonder, from your comments, if the problem is that I have used Windows Easy Transfer to copy information and profiles from my old laptop. I therefore am not using factory default settings, nor am I sure how to do so without losing the transferred files. My old laptop, and desktop from which I also copied files, were Windows XP. Because of the File Transfer I do log in using windows log on a password
