Photos show as duplicates

How can I get into the icloud photo album, it appears it has duplicated all my photos. My iphone and ipad now list all photos and videos twice, where and how can I go to clean that up? Thanks

Select an album, then View Sort by date.
Delete the duplicates. I had that problem and once I fixed it, it has remained the same.

Edited photos missing, when i try to reload from sd card, it shows the duplicates but can't find on mac

Several days of edited photos disappeared after a force quit of iphoto, events are there but empty but when I try to reload from sd card it shows adited duplicates, but I can't find them on the mac. I have originals but would prefer not to have to edit again.

Back up your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

All stacked photos show on iPad/iPhone

Has anyone worked around this?
I stack images in Aperture. I set the pick to be the result of several images and several versions. Unfortunately, on the iPad/iPhone, ALL the photos show. All the physical and virtual versions are there for all to see.
Aside from separating the pick from the others and only including the pick in an album, is there any other way to not display all photos on the iPad/iPhone?

BRILLIANT!
I'd like to thank all three of you looking, testing and responding. It appears the correct answer for me is to use the Stack Pick option in each smart album under Aperture.
I thought the problem was more pervasive, but after running several tests, that's what it was. I do still see some duplicate photos, but it appears to be unrelated to stacks. I do have photos showing on the "photos" tab, and I cannot figure out where they're loading from, but that's another issue.
I would have never though to look there, so I very much appreciate the help. I love Aperture and how configurable it can be. I'm glad someone was able to figure this out.

Why does my iCloud photo stream create duplicates of every photo?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air, on which I store all my photos.
I routinely export my photos from my iOS devices to my MacBook Air, and view whatever photos that I have through photo stream.
On my iOS device and MacBook, though, every photo has a duplicate of itself, even though in the main library I only have one of each photo—no duplicates at all.
Why are duplicates showing up in my iCloud photo stream even though I have no duplicates in the actual library itself?

Hello ambenlandry,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Because you haven't read any book on iPhoto, or consulted iPhoto's Help. If you had, you'd have found this:
Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library
This preference is turned on by default. When you import photos from a hard disk, iPhoto copies (duplicates) the photos to the iPhoto library and uses the copies. The original photos remain untouched in their current locations.
If you have an extensive collection of photos on your computer and you want to keep your current file organization, you can have iPhoto point to your original photo files instead of importing them into your iPhoto library. To have iPhoto access your photos from their current locations on your hard disk (rather than making copies of them), deselect this checkbox. Note that if you edit one of these images in iPhoto, the edited version is saved in the iPhoto library and the original file remains untouched.
If you turn off this preference, be sure not to move the photos from the location from which they were imported. If you move the files, your iPhoto library won’t work correctly.
they must be filed/stored/saved somewhere.
Sure. They're stored in /dev/null.
It is incomprehensible
Do you want the facts, or do you want to argue?
What possible purpose could this have, I'd really like to know...
Ask someone who has 50GB worth of photos on his hard disk and wants to organise them with iPhoto if he's interested in using up an additional 50GB for the privilege.

How do we send photos from an iphone to a business email so that the photo shows up as an attachment vs. a part of the body of the email?

How do you email photos from an iphone to a business email so that the photo shows up as an attachment vs. a part of the body of the email?

Eric, thanks for the info about the pictures, it worked. The mail icon is not the one that came with the mac(it looks like a stamp with an eagle) this appears at a notepad with a ruler,paintbrush and pencil. I can not open it, I did not download it and now I can not turn off the computer with shutdown I have to manually turn if off by pressing the power button. This can not be normal. Any suggestions. thanks, Ellen

Photos show in a different order/sequence when viewed on my Centro than on my desktop???

Hello, I know this may sound trivial but it is driving me nuts! My photos show up in a different sequence when I view them on my handheld (Centro smartphone) than they do on my Palm Desktop Media platform. I cannot figure out why they do not match up. I have HotSync-ed a million times. I sorted all of my photos via the desktop media software so that they are in chronological order. Then I HotSync and view the albums on my phone (Centro) and none of them are in the order they are supposed to be in. (If this helps at all... All of the photos are stored on my microSDHD card, not directly on my phone's memory - too many for that.) Any ideas why the HotSync is not correlating them to the order they are in on my desktop? Am I going to have to manually sort them on my phone also, even though I already did this on the desktop software?? Please tell me there is an easier way - I have LOTS of pictures. LOL! Thank you!! ~ Kimmy

12:13am *** OH NO!! I am totally going to cry right now. I was trying to get the stupid thing to sync correctly. So, I deleted the picture albums off my phone. I left them on my desktop, since they were organized as they should be. I did a hotsync and it erased the photos from the desktop and didn't put them on my phone. So, basically I lost a million pictures. I double checked my settings and everything is set to "syncronize" - SO WOULDN'T THAT MEAN IT WOULD SYNCRONIZE BOTH???? Not let the phone override the desktop?? I am beyond upset. If anyone can lend some help I cannot tell you how grateful I would be. :*(

This question was solved.

Hi.. Syncronize means that hotsync looks at both palm desktop and the device and looks for any changes and moves those changes to the opposite side to make them identical. Thus it saw you deleted all pics on the device and sees it as you no longer need any of the pictures which were deleted thus it makes the palm desktop match the device by deleting them. If you had set the media conduits to desktop over writes handheld it would have done what you wanted. Hope you can find them..

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Photos show up as thumbnail but when I click on them they will not display

Photos show up as thumnails but when I click on them they will not display. I get a exclamation mark in a dotted line box

Hylan:
That occurs when the library has lost the link to the original file. This is a result of a damaged library database file, Library6.iPhoto. You can try rebuilding the library from within iPhoto to see if you can recover the photos by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. However, it's iffy.
You can rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as it create a new library, leaving the original one intact, by reading the AlbumData.xml file and copying what it needs. You will be able to recover the photos, albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, slideshows, and calendars will not be recovered. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
It that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Contact Photos Show Up with 10.4.3 Update

I just updated to 10.4.3, and the contact photos show up. Apparently, the software is being updated, and Apple is listening. I'm sure there will be more updates for added functionality.

Congratulations to all you "MAc" users, however, from what I gather, this feature is not supported for Windows users and would have to be addressed in a future release of iTunes for Windows.
Deduction: It's an APPLE iPod, so I guess it has more support for APPLE Mac users than MICROSOFT Windows users.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

When I send an email with a photo from snow leopard to email of a lion user, the photo shows up in the Lion email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this?

When I send an email via MACMAIL with a photo from snow leopard to an email of a lion user using At & T , the photo shows up in the Lion user email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this? This also happens when in in using iphoto'11 i share/email a photo to myself and the phot shows up sideways but is in a correct position prior to emailing.

I recently tried sending myself an email through Thunderbird to another email account to see if that was the case, but the email came in with a font so tiny that it was unreadable. I had chosen a font type and size (arial 10) and just coming into my outlook inbox was virtually unreadable.
And referring to the person I work with, she doesn't have problems getting anyone else's emails, just ones I send from Thunderbird.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Video clips from phone will not work in photo show software

I have some video clips from my phone, but they won't transfer to my photo show software. Will upgrading to Quicktime Pro help?

The Pro upgrade merely enables features found in the standard install of QuickTime.
If the file opens and plays properly in QuickTime the Pro upgrade allows you to export to other formats.
