Same photo randomly reappearing

Has anyone else had this problem? I got my Apple TV a couple months ago, synced my music and photos and had 1 photo reappear randomly throughout a slideshow or the screensaver...one photo out of about 2100 photos showing up every few seconds, sometimes sequentially. My party guests saw it so much they made a drinking game out of it.
I tried several things to fix this:
1. deleted the photo from iphoto and synced
2. removed all photos from Apple TV, then synced again
3. restored factory settings and synced again
4. sync no photos to verify that image was not embedded in Apple TV
5. Emptied iPhoto trash and re-synced
Nothing has worked. I can't get rid of that image. Please help.
Apple TV   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Export the photo from iPhoto to the Finder and then re-import it would be the only way. This uses double the disk space.
Have you considered using Albums. These can contain photos from anywhere in the Library, photos can be in multiple Albums and use no extra disk space whatever.

  • Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

    Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll?????  If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

    Please follow the suggested resolution in this thread

  • How do I use the same photo twice in a slideshow created in iPhoto'11?

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto'11 and would like to use the first slide also as the last slide.
    How can I use the same photo twice?

    Seems you have to duplicate the photo in your Library to add the same picture twice.

  • How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

    How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

    Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

  • How do you stop your phone from creating two albums with the same photos after syncing?

    When I first bought my phone I was able to sync my photos by checking the folder I wanted synced under iTunes. This put all those photos on photo library on my phone. I recently added more photos to that folder and tried to sync them it now put them in the photo library album and also created another album with my folder name. So I have two albums with the same photos. I tried in checking that folder in iTunes and of course they're not in my photo library. Please help. I don't want two albums with the same pics

    This is how Apple has always handled photos.  nothing has changed at all.
    Just as your music is in your library and you can access those exact same songs from a playlist, all of your synced pics are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the album name that you chose to sync.

  • How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper?  Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

    How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper?  Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

    no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
    select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

  • Multiple copies of same photo on same page seems to assume A4?

    I'm trying hard to work out how to print out multiple copies of the same picture. I want to get 2 copies on each 4x6" sheet of photo paper and have followed all the steps...
    Selected 1 picture, hit print, went to Settings, selected "Multiple of the same photo per page".
    I then went to Print Settings, selected Borderless 4x6 (yes, the printer works fine with that usually - HP Photosmart C4280) and set the Print Size to 2x3 and the preview shows the 2 copies of the same photo side-by-side no problem.
    So I hit OK, clicked on Print and...
    It's not aligning with the left hand side of the 4x6 - it's not respecting the selected paper size. If I put in a sheet of A4 to test, the 2 pictures come out in the centre of the page (in the requested size). So as a result I can't print on the 4x6 paper as most of the picture gets printed on nothing!
    Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug in either iPhoto or the HP printer driver? Anyone had any success with this? If so, what kind of printer were you using?

    Jemster:
    Here's the workflow I used to get 2 2x3s on a 4x6:
    1 - select photo & click on print button
    2 - select 4x6 borderless and 2x3 print size
    3 - click Customize button
    4 - click on settings button
    5 - select "Multiple of same photo per page" (after clicking OK two photo are shown on the preview)
    6 - click on the Print button.
    Where I differ is that I don't go back to Print Settings to select the 4x6 paper size after Step 5. Give that a try.
    NOTE: Do a Print to PDF to check it out instead of printing on paper. That will save some paper in case it doesn't work.
    That gives me two photos on the 4x6. I'm using a Canon i850. I also get the same results with an Epson R280.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Can I have the same photo (or a duplicate) in two different Events?

    I would like to show the same photo in two different Events but can't seem to do it/ I tried creating a duplicate of the photo, but that didn't work, either - when I try to move the duplicated photo to the second Event the original photo moves as well.

    sorry but you can not - this is a job for albu (and folders which hold albums and other folders) - you have outgrown the very limited power of events - albums and folders are much. much, much more powerful and flexible thatn events which are vey simple, basic automatic organization for people you really do not to be botrhered with organizing
    For this you whould have the photo in an event and in an album (or several albums) - you can assign a keyword liek "longwood Garden" to photos and have a smart album that will automaticaly add all photos with that keyword

  • Multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Can I print multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Try the following:
    1 - put the photo in an album and duplicate it as many times as the number of prints you want on a given page. This is assuming the page is US Letter (borderless).
    2 - select all the prints and type Command+P (Print).
    3 - in the next window select Paper Size to be US Letter (borderless).
    4 - also, at the bottom of the window, select the aspect ratio and a custom size that will allow you to get all of the photos on one page.
    This screenshot is for a photo that has a size ratio of 4:3, was duplicated 3 times and then printed with a custom size of 4x3 selected to get four prints on the page. You can experiment the custom size until you get the largest possible size for the 4 photos on the page.

  • How can I edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs?

    Hi Forumworld,
    I would like to edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs. Before you say "don't", there are many reasons why I'd like to do this. I am a working professional photographer and LR is one of the many tools in my workflow. I essentially want to organize my catalogs according to two different principles: once by year and once by theme. As in, a catalog each for 2014, 2015, 2016. But also one where I can group all of my wedding photos, for instance. I have several reasons for not throwing all of them together into one catalog.
    I know that LR is essentially non-destructive, making this an uphill battle. But: if I do something like set all LR catalogs involved to Automatically Write Changes into XMP, should that a) be visible by any catalog and b) sync properly? As in: once the photo is imported to both Catalog A to Catalog B, can I edit it in A and see those changes - including developing, but also flagging etc. - in B? And vice-versa?
    Thanks for your help,
    Adam

    Hi All,
    thanks for the various answers. I've considered most of what was written already, but the gem in all this that I was looking for was from John's answer:
         You will also lose some of your work (xmp doesn't record flags, stacking, virtual copies, history steps...). So for one thing you specifically mentioned, flagging, you can't sync it across multiple collections
    This is consistent with what I've experienced - I wanted to find out if there was a way to not loose some of my work. The goal was to find a way that everything would sync automatically & properly so that I would always access the identical image from various catalogs. This is what I thought XMP would do - but I experienced that it didn't and now I understand that it won't do it properly, regardless of the settings. Flags were exactly the piece of information I was missing when I tried this.
    I am surprised that everyone is telling me to use one Catalog. I am sorry but I don't believe that it will scale - because that is not what I have experienced. When my LR4 catalog got to about 50,000 images, it slowed down dramatically.  Has something big changed in LR5? I have read many threads about this, most seem to say that already in LR4 it shouldn't have slowed down, but it did. No, my hard drive wasn't full. I just shoot a lot, mostly with a D800.
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Help!  Can't figure out how to store the same photo in different events

    I know that this is just a user error problem, but I can't figure out how to store multiple versions of the same photo in different events. For example, I use Aperture as my main photo library, so I have a big folder set-up by year and then by events within those years to organize and maintain my library. I'm currently working on a project where I would like to pull out certain pictures for other uses. I tried creating new events and then moving the pictures to those events (like I would have in iPhoto) expecting for a new version of the picture to be deposited in the new event. That didn't work - it moved the picture out of my "main library" folder and as far as I can see it now only exists in the new event. Next, I tried creating "new versions" of the pictures I wanted to move and then just selecting those and moving them. In one folder I selected three photos, clicked "New Versions", then in the browser display I could see two of each picture (for a total of six), I selected ONE of each photo and moved those three to the new event. At which point all six disappear from the "main library" and end up in my new event. I don't understand why that happens. Currently the only way I've been able to do what I need to do is by using the flag field, but as far as I can tell there is only one of those - it's on or off that is really not serving my purpose. What do I need to do???

    Like Jim said, you most likely want Albums for what you describe. Albums simply consist of "pointers" to a single compilation of image data. Albums can be created and deleted at will, because they are just pointers; an important concept.
    Also learn to use Keywords - and unlearn "folder" organization, which is not the way digital asset management works. The power of Albums and Keywords is huge once we lose the film-think of folders organization.

  • Same photo in more than one catalog - what happens?

    What happens if you have the same photo in more than one catalog?
    Background: I'm using a 4yr old 13" MacBook and my Lightroom is getting rather slow, on some pictures unusable.  At the same time my lrcat files are growing rather fast.  Probably due to my current work on some old scanned slides which require quite a lot of spot removal (last 3 photos worked on increased the lrcat file by 250mb) and each time Lightroom became virtually unusable.  I will be upgrading the computer but it wont be for a few months yet.  On one of the last slides I ended up with a "Oops! An untagged string (history step does not belong to instance) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen.".
    So I'm looking at splitting my catalog into two or more seperate catalogs.  But I have some galleries which contain photos from what would cross "sensible" splits of catalog so I thought about having the same photo in both catalogs where necessary.
    My Lightroom is set to include metadata in XMP (probably making the performance worse).  I had intended to split catalogs using "export to catalog".
    Does the photo in each catalog have it's own develop "fork" ? (i.e. does the metadata include catalog tags) ?  Or will changes made to the photo in one catalog automatically upadate the next catalog (or overwrite changes made in the other catalog), etc.?  Only a single computer, no network/sharing issues, nothing on exchangable/removable disk drives.
    I could experiment but after quite some time the other day resolving the "history step does not belong to instance") I am treating my catalog with great care.
    (I have does a search for the question so will be very embarassed/appologetic if somebody says "Read www.adobe.com/.....").
    Many thanks

    For some reason photos were scanned in as jpegs.  They end-up at around 16-19MB each.  Reasons for that are historical.  I am applying spot corrections in Photoshop in a new layer, then merging layers when everyting is done OK to save (saving as PSD gave a massive file size).  I will try saving as tiff.  Personally I hate JPEGs but was never too concerned about the scans in LR as LR is never resaving the image (non-destructive editing).  I may easily upgrade to CS6 (upgrade is <£200 on Amazon), but being non-professional, fuds are not unlimited (particularly with new computer coming soon!!).
    So weird effect is with jpegs around 16MB after Photoshop edits.  It is completely reproducable (i.e. has happened exactly the same of every photo done via this route).  The surprising thing is that exiting and restarting LR stops the weird effect.
    Adding 2 and 2 together to get 22, I wonder if, as I have "Write Metadata to XMP ..." enabled, if LR has a watch on the file for changes after switching to external editor (i.e. to detect when external editor saved changes so LR updates from the file) and that that "watch for change" is not cancelled after exiting the external editor - maybe because LR cannot know if external editing is compketed (even though exitng Photoshop does not stop the effect).  Then, when LR writes to the file (to update the XMP data) it "detects" the change it causd itself and hence the reload.  If I change the Catalog Settings to disable the "Include develop settings in JPEG ..." and disable the "Save XMP Data ...", the effect goes away and if I re-enable those catalog options the effect returns.
    I will try saving as tiff in future now I'm really re-saving the image.
    Many thanks

  • Photos repeatedly importing the same photos.

    Photos is reimporting the same photos every time I connect my iPhone or iPad.
    I'm running the most recent OS and iOS (iPhone 6, iPad 2) and most recent version of Photos. Every time I connect my phone or ipad "import new photos" re-imports the same set of photos, as well as any new photos.
    Previous there was the "keep the photo app open on your phone when you connect" fix - as far as I can tell that is not still the case?
    Any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks.

    Hello there c_knaus,
    It sounds like you Photos app seems to think the same photos it has already imported need to be reimported over and over again along with photos that actually are new on the device whenever you connect it. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the iPhone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device, and your computer as well then test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.
