Two iPhotos on Launchpad

I recently got a new computer for college. It is a a v.10.7.4, 15 inch, 2.4 GHz processor MacBook Pro, and has gotten all the most recent Software Updates. However, following my iPhoto 9.3 update, I noticed an issue. In Launchpad iPhoto appears twice, even though it is only one application.
iPhoto can be seen to the far-right in the second line and at the right of the bottom line. When I try clicking on them both it just leads me back to the same window. iPhoto only appears once in the Applications folder.
Any ideas for getting the second photo to disappear?

Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased. So did you create any aliases of this app on your computer? I suspect this is your problem. Find the alias & delete it.

  • Can I combine two iPhoto libraries?

    Following on from my previous post - "Missing Photos" - (what an idiot I am).
    I now have two iphoto libraries with approx 10% differing content, ie they have about 90% the same. The largest is around 36GB.
    How do I combine the two libraries?
    One way I guess, would be to dump the smaller into the larger, and then run a program to eliminate the duplicates.
    (iPhoto only rejects duplicates with the same name, many of mine have been renamed.)
    Or is there a better way?

    You can use iPhoto Library Manager and it’s Merge feature.

    I have two iPhoto libraries: one on the hard drive, and one on an external hard drive.  I cannot access the iPhoto library on the external hard drive.  Yes, it is plugged in!

    How are you trying to access the EHD library?  Can you open it by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down and selecting the EHD library in the window that appears?

  • Two iPhoto libraries - combining

    I have looked at the previous discussions on merging (not a good idea, apparently) two iPhoto libraries and wonder if this would work. I have a new Macbook Pro and and old Macbook. My iPhoto library on the older machine outgrew the hard drive space and is stored on an external drive. I have started a new iPhoto library on the new Macbook and it only contains about 200 photos. There is room on the new Macbook to store the older library and this is my plan. I will copy the older iPhoto library to the new Macbook and then open the new iPhoto library and export the 200 photos to a folder on the desktop, then switch to the older library and import those from that file to the old library which then will become my current iPhoto library. Any flaws here? Thanks.

    Thanks. I will look at iPhoto Library Manager. And for now, will just export the 200 photos as they have no editing or tagging done to them. Now I have to figure out how to copy my iPhoto Library from one external hard drive (that runs through a hub) to another (that won't run through a hub.) (The hub is a powered one, but works with one WD drive, but not the other.)

  • Merging two iPhoto Libraries from two different MACs

    Can I blend together two iPhoto libraries? I have a library on another MAC and would love to move it to my laptop merging with the existing iPhoto. How I can do that? I just afraid to overwrite the original library.

    You need iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge iPhoto libraries
    I recommend merging both libraries into a new library so if some problem occurs you do not mess up either original library - this of course requires adequate disk space for all three libraries

  • Two iphoto albums - should be the same, but extra images reported in one

    I have two iphoto albums which in theory should contain the same images - but one is reporting around 5500 and the other around 5570 - is there a simple way to identify the additional 70 images ?
    cheers for any help

    I guess at some point I must have added some files which are not on the phone - I can't think what and it probably doesn't matter - its just the not knowing that bugs me
    You could create a smart album in your library on the 2009 iMac and search for photos that have not been taken by the iPhone camera:
    This will show all photos you imported from other sources:
    Try the command:
         File > New Smart album
    Then set the Smart rule to "Camera Model is" and select your iPhone.
    After selecting the phone, switch the rule to "Camera Model is not", and you will see all photos that did not come from your iPhone.

  • I see two iphoto applications. One is iphoto (copy) and the other iphoto (original). How did this happen?

    In the applications folder I see two iphoto apps. One labeled iphoto (copy) 376 MB/ version 8.l.2 and the other iphoto (original) 346 MB/ version 8.1.1 . Have no idea what I did. Can I delete one of them?
    I have iphoto library manager installed and used it for the first time just recently. I merged my photos into one library.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Lucy

    Keep the latest verson.  But, as Larry cautioned, open it before deleting the other one to make sure it performs as expected.

  • HOW CAN I MERGE TWO  IPHOTO LIBRARIES

    IS IT POSSIBLE TO MERGE TWO IPHOTO LIBRARIES?

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager 
    It's possible to turn off caps lock too.

  • Two iPhoto Libraries?

    Hi,
    I am the only user of my MacBook Pro so I expect that I should only have one iPhoto library. However, I just discovered that when I right clicked the desktop icon of iPhoto, it would show that there were two iPhoto Libraries:
    Can someone explain why I am seeing this duplication and how I can make one of the 'iPhoto Library' go away? (I have checked the Pictures folder and there is only one iPhoto Library.) Thanks a lot.

    It might be a Dock issue.  Locate the preference file for the Dock, com.apple.dock.plist,  and delete it.  It will be in your User/Library/Preferences file. 
    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How to merge two iphoto libraries

    How do I merge two Iphoto libraries

    Actually it can be done on the command line.  This will be quite tedious if the library you are transferring is large.
    Log into the computer on which you want the merged library to reside. 
    Then, go to Applications->Utilities, and launch the Terminal.
    At the prompt, cd to the following directory:
    Lydias-MacBook-Pro:~ lydiachet$ cd Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/Auto\ Import
    Now launch an ftp session with the computer where your other library resides:
    Lydias-MacBook-Pro:Auto Import lydiachet$ ftp 192.168.1.36
    Connected to 192.168.1.36.
    220 192.168.1.36 FTP server (tnftpd 20080929) ready.
    Name (192.168.1.36:lydiachet): carolchet
    331 User carolchet accepted, provide password.
    Password:
    230 User carolchet logged in.
    Remote system type is UNIX.
    Using binary mode to transfer files.
    On the remote computer, cd to the Masters directory in the iPhoto library:
    ftp> cd Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/Masters
    The directory tree from here down is listed by year, month and date, so actual directories will vary: in the example I'm looking in a directory from July 21, 2012:

    226 Transfer complete.
    Now cd to the only directory found here:
    ftp> cd 20120721-112923
    View the photo files using the ls command:

    from this point you can copy the files to the local computer using mget
    ftp> mget *.JPG
    If you have lots of pictures this will be tedious as you then need to navigate through the diretory trees until you have copied all the photos. 
    Good news is, next time you launch iPhoto on the local computer, it will automatically import all of the new files.

  • Two iPhoto '08 Libraries, One External and One Internal...

    Hello,
    I have Two iPhoto '08 Libraries, One External and One Internal. I moved my original iPhoto library to my external HD and all was good. Now about six months later I am noticing that I have two libraries, the external one is 15.8 gigs and the internal one is 17.66 gigs. Can I merge these and how or are one of these an older version of the library that I could delete? Any assistance would be great!
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Pete
    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    are one of these an older version of the library that I could delete?
    Sorry - these are user forums - not physic users forum
    my best guess is that you never directed iPhoto to use the external library and that is is a back up of your old library and that your internal library is the complete library - but that is just a guess
    To switch libraries and look at the launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library function - once you figure out what you have you can delete the old or or use iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move photos between them

  • Syncing two iPhoto Libraries between two Macs

    I'm looking for the best way of keeping my two iPhoto libraries on my two Macs synced at all times. Right now I'm doing this manually over my wireless network which is kind of time consuming...and I'm guessing there has to be an easier way of doing this on a Mac?
    Any good ideas? Thanks...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Exactly what do you mean by sync? Do you mean one way copying? As in I organise and import pics on one machine only, and would like the changes visible on the other?
    Or do you mean I want to import and organise on both machines, and have the changes reflected on either? You cannot do this. If you try and sync the database files they will be corrupted.
    So a little more info might help us help you.

  • I had two iPhoto libraries. I erased one of them (which disappeared in the paperbasket - as planned. The otherone, however has now lost all its Keywords... Is there anything what I can do to get my keywords back????

    I had two iPhoto Libraries with different content (on an external drive). I had to erase one of the libraries, and it disappeared - as planned - in the paperbasket.
    The other (untouched) library, however has now lost all Keywords, and it needs quite awhile (the ball is spinning "for hours") to build up all events (order still like before the keyword desaster.
    What can I do to get the keywords back?
    Börries

    To be more clear: All fotos had been "imported to their foto libraries" by just standard means - no shifting no erasion etc. etc. just regular Upload in one of the two iPhoto libraries by "import".
    "Or load your backup from before this happened"
    This answer seems to be pretty close to a solution - but, I need help in a step-by-step-way:
    My library is located on an external LaCie hard drive - which is to the best of my knowledge not covered by Time Machine. With other words: Time Maschine is not useful here. Is there another backup procedure (possibly from within iPhoto) which I could use to rebuild the keywords from an earlier backup. That would solve 99% of my problems and is fine.
    Sorry for being so helpless, but it seems to me as if you had come quite close to a solution....
    Best,
