Recommend Software to Get Rid Of Duplicate Photos
Help !!!
I now have duplicate to triplicate photos in iPhoto and Adobe Organizer & Lightroom. What software programs can you recommend that are easy, preferably free to find the dups? I anxiously await your replies. Thanks !!!
You can use my app Decloner free of charge for 30 days. It can find and delete duplicates in iPhoto. Decloner doesn't officially support Lightroom yet, but if you know where the photos are located, you can choose that folder and look for duplicates across both your iPhoto library and Lightroom pictures folder at the same time. Email me if you have any problems with Decloner.

Does anyone know how to get rid of my 1500+ duplcate photos in iPhoto. Somehow when the folks at Applie transfered my files to my new Mac I ended up with a great deal of duplicates.
Thanks,
NancyElegante1 - what exactly was done? I suspect that the transfer was done totally incorrectly and that you have two or three different versions (not duplicates) of each photo and that all events, albums, projects etc are gone

How do i get rid of duplicate photos in iphoto
i have seen many different posts related to this topic but most contradict themselves. i am seeing many suggestions to use duplicate anihaltor and then posts that says the actual support people of the product say it doesn't work. any ideas? and ideas about how to make it stop happening once i get rid of the duplicates? I am also trying to figure out how to get iphoto not to pick up every piece of clipart or phone icon etc that crosses its path. my iphoto is a HUGE mess and i am trying to clean it up...48K pictures...
Do you have a back up of the iPhoto library from before the crash?

Anyway to get rid of duplicates, photo, software, and documents, without having to buy software?
Subject says it all. Seems to me I read a post some time ago that we can do this without going through the infamous MacKeeper.
Just an overdue "ps". I forgot to mention that there was somewhat of a viral rant on MacKeeper (with which I heartily concur) and that OS X software provided all that was needed to do much of the above work. Of course, I forgot what that was.
However, I did purchase, after reading a bucket of reviews, "Tidyup" that appears to be the first, user-friendly, non-obliterating software that does exactly what you want it to. With my first use, I dumped 4 gigs of duplicates without the color draining experience of losing lifetime photographs (can you say, "Spring Cleaning"?). -
Getting rid of duplicate photos?
After several issues with OSX I have had to burn all my photos to cd and reload them. I seem to have duplicates of most of them in iphoto.
Is there any easy way of getting iphoto to find tha pics that it's duplicated and simply go through them and delete them ( in a similar way to importing them and clicking don't import duplicates)?Try Duplicate Annihilator

I want to use The Duplicate Finder to get rid of duplicates in iphoto. I created a library as a folder on my desktop and droped it into Dupe Finder. Many dupes were found. Before I have it auto select dupes, should I trash the photos in iphoto? Or will Dupe Finder do that for me automatically?
1 - if you want to remove duplicates from your iPhoto library you would not be using a copy of it
2 - don't do anything without a good, current backup
3 - reading the Duplicate Finder web site does not tell me tha tit is safe to use on the iPhoto library - i suggest you use one of the known good and tested duplicate eliminations programs - see this discussion for links - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24363132#24363132
4 - One cardinal rule - NEVER make any chnages to the structrure or content of the iPhoto library using any porogram (including the finder) other than iPhoto - the programs listed in the linked discussion use iPhoto to do the deleting

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?
Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395
Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone. It is simple when you know how. Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac. When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences. I just disabled one of them. Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

HT4007 How can I get rid of duplicates in a project with out deleting them one by one?
How can I get rid of duplicates in a project without deleting them one by one?
What kind of duplicates? Did you import the same image file several times? Aperture does not have any built-in tools to detect duplicates. You will have to do delete the one by one. You could arrange the images by date, so that duplicates are shown side by side in the Browser. Or use a tool like Duplicate Annihilator (the program is not free). I have never tested it but some do recommend it.

I don't know if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question....if it is not please guide me to the correct support forum. I am just trying to find out if there is an easier way of getting rid of duplicate files in my Windows Media Player 11.
Also how do I prevent my Media player from obtaining all these duplicate files from other libraries. I have iTunes installed and my home network has four other computers belonging in the home group that have all their own respective music libraries.
I guess I was naïve but I thought that when Windows Media Player is out searching other libraries it would know not to take duplicates of songs that it has already. Enough said .....if anyone out there can help me that would be great. I have in
the past spent many hours manually deleting songs from my music files and it really got old.Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!
Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.
