Photos App Showing Duplicates

I’m seeing duplicate photos in IOS 8 on my iPhone 5S. I’ve run Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto on my Mac and made sure no dups are present. I sync from iTunes on my Mac running Mavericks for the last year of events from iPhoto. I’m seeing duplicates on my iPhone in the Photos app under Collections for only the photos that are present in the Recently Added album. Is this normal or is there a way to not show the duplicates?

anyone?
by the way, after some restoring, the duplicates are at least gone. Now the problem is simply that recent photos are showing up in months past, and in several past events on my iphone. This is in the photos app as well as iphoto. In iPhoto, I can check the info of one of those photos and it shows a....June date for example... but it shows up in the photo order back in february or march.
If anyone has any thoughts on this it all it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Photos app shows I have less photos than my settings does

Hello all.
I got a new iPhone 5s in January and since I have noticed that in my photos app (where photos are stored) it says I have taken 624 photos and 14 videos but when going into Settings> General> About> Videos 15 and Photos 1,214. Why is this and how do I get my phone to show the right information? When I plug my phone into iPhoto (now Photos) on my computer it imports duplicates of each photo but has only done this since both updates on iPhone and MacBook. I have checked my iCloud account and I am not logged in so the photo stream is not turned on and I don't have any shared folders.
I've been needing to go to a Genius bar about my iPhone and MacBook as since the new IOS update my MacBook has been extremely slow but just haven't had a chance yet and thought I may try on here whilst thinking about it. All help is welcome

Depends on how you have your iPhoto setting set up. If under Preferences in iPhoto you have the options set up to automatically import your Photo Stream photos, then they should already be in monthly Events in iPhoto:
If you do not have these options set up, but if you have been regularly importing from your Camera Roll, then those also should be showing in Events in iPhoto. If you see your photos in either Events or Photos (selected from the top of the iPhoto sidebar), then they are safely stored in iPhoto, and you can delete them from your device.
If you do not see them in the Events or Photos views, then you would need to turn on the Photo Stream options above, and see what gets imported. Depending on the dates of the photos in your Photo Stream on your device, those photos may or may not still be in Photo Stream in iCloud. iCloud will keep the last 30 days of photos up to 1000 photos. But your device will keep Photo Stream photos on the device until you reset Photo Stream on the device.
I have photos in my iPhone Photo Stream that go back to last April....but, if I turned off Photo Stream in iCloud, most of them would be deleted because iCloud itself only has the last 30 days worth.
If all of the photos in your Photo Stream are not imported to your computer, you can put them in a Shared Photo Stream and send it to yourself, then import them to your Library right on the Mac.
Cheers,

Music app shows duplicate playlists

The music app on my wifes iphone 4 is showing duplicates for the recently played and recently downloaded playlists. also whenever a new playlist is created it shows twice on the list. some of theses cant be deleted. this is the only device that has this issue. is there any way to get rid of them?

You might try syncing all the music off her phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of her iTunes sync settings, then syncing), then back on (recheck Sync Music, sync). This should rebuild the music library and playlists on her phone, hopefully removing the duplicates.

Contacts.app shows duplicate iCloud accounts

I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and my Contacts app shows 4 duplicate iCloud contact sets. When I check the preferences > accounts setting within the app, it shows 4 entries for iCloud, each for the same iCloud account. When I try to remove any of them, it suggests I go over to Internet Accounts in System Preferences. Within System Preferences there was only 1 iCloud account, not 4. I removed that account from my computer yet the duplicates remain. I can't get rid of them. Please help!

I found a way to resolve this.
1) Remove iCloud from your System Preferences (make sure all your iCloud content is backed up somewhere else first (via Time Machine or on another Mac)
2) Shutdown
3) Boot up
4) Open up contacts app
5) Open Preferences of Contacts and go to "Accounts"
6) Select the rogue iCloud account and click the button in the bottom right "Edit account", this will open up system preferences and the rogue iCloud account will reappear there. Hit the Minus button in the left sidebar to remove it.
7) Quit System Preferences & quit Contacts app
8) Shutdown & Boot up again
9) Repeat steps 4-8 until all of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts are removed from the Contacts app.
10) Once completely free of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts in Contacts app, re-enable iCloud in System Preferences.
I did this to remove 4 duplicates and now have one clean iCloud account in the Contacts app.

More photos in settings than photos app shows

After updating to IOS8 my 5c says that I have 368 photos when I look at my storage in settings but when I go to the photos app it says I only have 155 photos. I've deleted pictures to try to bring the 368 number down but I don't know what else to do. I can't find the apparent 368 photos that are apparently on my phone. What is going on and how do I fix it so it frees up more space?

Oops, meant to reply to you and replied to the OP, my bad. Anyway, I already did that (multiple times) on my phone and on my computer and no luck. Here are some screencaps of whatever the heck is going on with my phone. As you can see, I only have 15 photos in my Photo Library, which is turned off in my iCloud settings, but my Storage indicates I have 1.2 gigs (584 photos according to my iTunes storage summary) worth of photos? So confused.

Pictures in photo app show up as blank

The only place I see pictures is either in Slideshow mode OR in the Collections view of the Photos mode.
Even a recently taken photo shows up as blank

I reset the ipad mini from scratch, set it as a new device and I still get this issue. I ensured that I declined the iCloud backup. any clue?

Duplicates in the Photos app using Nokia 1520!

I have recently had this problem where the Camera Roll using the Photos app will duplicate photos. In fact right now, one photo I took yesterday had a duplicate but now, there are 5 copies of the photo! If I take out the SD card and look at the images, there are no duplicates.
So this is a problem with the database of the the Photos app. Sometimes when I restart the phone and take pictures, there would be no duplicates but the problem would come back again. All of this is software related.
Also I do not dare delete the duplicates because last time I did that, it corrupted the original!
This is one big reason why I SO regret getting the 1520. This and the issue with the stuttering video recording unless a very expensive high speed SD card is used. Windows phones need to step up their game to compete with iOS and Android. If this is not resolved soon, I will gladly go back to those 2 main platforms, in fact, because of these issues, I just cannot wait until a bigger screened iphone comes out for my aging eyes!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you checked in settings for updates ? I don't have your issues, but did have issues with screen sensitivity with swiping and tapping not always having the desired results. However in the last week my 1520 has had two software updates and now has zero issues, latest one today. It may be worth checking on your handset, settings then scroll down to check for software updates

Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help. Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

Photos App Not Displaying Small Images, Is There a Workaround?

I have an iPhoto album of icons (25x25 and 32x32 images) which I use in mock-up applications on my iPad (such as Blueprint and iMockups). The images display fine in iPhoto on the computer but when I sync them to my iPad, the Photos app shows them all as grey rectangles. An example of the images are those from the Glyphish icon set (http://glyphish.com/). Because these images do not show up correctly in the Photos App, they are also unusable in the mock-up apps.
Does anyone have any solutions for getting these to display properly in Photos? I suppose I could scale them up but that will cause them to get pixelated when the mock-up apps scale them back down again.

I finally found a solution for my problem concerning the disappearance of iTunes in the browser settings.
I changed the Safari settings to "allow third parties". Now everything works fine.
Why Apple treats its own services as a third party still remains a mystery. In the bargain should a SW update not initially alter the settings of the users preferences without further information.
Cheers,
Georg

No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
2. Syncs to great up until last night
3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

Photos from iPhoto showing duplicates and wrong dates. Help!

Hello everyone,
I have been battling my iphone and computer for the last few days trying to figure this one out. No luck. Now I turn to all of you.
The problem is basically this: My iPhone photos app was showing duplicates of many photos taken in the last few months. They would literally be side by side. There were no edits, photostream is turned off... Those duplicates do NOT show up in iPhoto on my macbook.
So I tried a few recommendations from some forums I read. I rebuilt the iPhoto database. I deleted the plist file for iPhoto. I restored my phone.
Now, not only do I still have all of the duplicates, but I also have photos showing up severely out of date order. The thing that makes this obvious is that photos of my sonm, who was born in June, are showing up scattered through random months of the preceding year. I am sure other photos are now out of order as well. I only see this on my phone, and not in iPhoto.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Bret

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
Thank-you for the help!

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

New iPod 5 gen and apps won't work, and when I take photos in the camera roll they show up when I click the preview in the left bottom corner but not in the photo album in the photos app, frozen a lot and resets it self a lot when it's frozen! Please help

My brand new iPod touch 5th gen (silver) i use it a lot and I take really great care if it but just today it's been acting really slow, freezing up all the time, it won't let me open up apps, the notification bar (dragged down) all gone (no markets/weather/noticfications) and never says anything, and the camera. Camera is really bugging me, when you go in the app "camera" I tooka photo, and I went to the left bottom corner and clicked that preview, it shows all the photos there, but it won't let you edit them, share or delete them. But when you go into the photos app, and go to camera roll they aren't there at all.
When I try to open apps, they freeze and then I try to move/delete them and then it freezes, and stops everything. Shuts down, and restarts and like nothing's happened.
Please, this is my first iPod and I really care about this so so much. Please somebody help me with something!!!! Please!!!!
