Uploading photos from camera memory card are being duplicated

Hi,
When loading phoots into iphoto from a memory card we are getting two images of the same photo (same identifier as well) into the iphoto event. I've looked over many previous threads and have unticked the duplicate options in preferences/advanced, but this isn't making any difference. Any further tips?
Thanks.

provide details if you want help
The general answser is that iPhoto does not in any case duplicate photos during import - one wild guess given that you provide absoluely no information at all would be that you have a new DLSR and have set it to shoot RAW plus JPEG so you are creating two copies of each photo which iPhoto will most certainly import - if that is it the solution is to set the camera correctly to either RAW or JPEG

  • Transfer photo from camera memory card to dvd

    hi...i am a novice and need to know how i can transfer photos and video from a camera memory card to a dvd on my imac

    Mount the card to the desktop in a card reader or your camera if it mounts and drag them to a folder - right click on the folder and burn to Disk
    Or import to iPhoto and export as kind = original to a desktop folder and burn that

Is there a chance that my mac air took a back up of these photos ? Please say yes and guide me through the steps to recover them. I need URGENT HELP please

    If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them. 
    How did you view them?

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

  • How can I transfer photos from a memory card to my compter with the hp 8600 ?

    I can't transfer photos from my memory card to the computer. It only gives me the option to print them.

    Do you have this printer connected through a network? (wireless or ethernet)
    Is this computer you are using a Windows PC?
    If so, try the steps in the thread located here.

  • Why can't I transfer my photos from the memory card to my computer.

    I have an HP 5510 and can't see where I can download photos from the memory card to my computer. The printer only lets me view the photos or print them, but I want to store them on my computer. How do i do that?

    I'm wondering the same thing...  Do I need to connect the printer via the usb cable?  Help Please.

  • I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens.  My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb.  I don't think I am doing anything incorrect.  Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

    The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
    Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

  • 8.2 update - unable to upload photos from Camera app

    I downloaded the 8.2 update, and now I can't seem to upload photos from the Camera app to Facebook when I check-in. It only brings up my videos from the Camera app, not the photos. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    You're welcome.
    It is needed by the FaceBook app in order to upload photos with the app. You need it on for the apps that require location services in order to use the app or to use the location services function included with the app. You don't necessarily need it on for every app - that is up to you.
    The arrow in the menu bar means location services is being actively used by an app.
    The arrow next to an app at Settings > Location Services means the app has requested your location within the last 24 hours.

  • How do i upload photos from my sd card

    This is my first Mac computer. I have no idea how to upload my pictures from an SD card. My Ipad was such a simple process. Can anyone help?!

    I am guessing you have a 2011 MacBook Pro model, and you are using an SD card from your camera and you do have iPhoto installed on your machine...
    So all you need to do is plug in your SD card and iPhoto should recognize the images and open up and ask you if you want to import all the images.
    If that doesn't work, when you plug in your SD card, you'll see the memory card icon pop on the right side of the screen, open it and either drag your images into iphoto or go to File > Import to library inside iphoto

  • Exporting photos to camera memory card-drag & drop won't work

    Hi! I am trying to export photos from IPhoto08 to the memory card on my digital camera. In iPhoto, there is an icon showing for my camera under "devices" but when I try to drag a photo to the camera icon, nothing happens; it just doesn't recognize that there is a camera there, even though it shows my camera by name and number. help! do you think it's the brand of card I'm trying to use?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless the memory card/camera can mount on the desktop as removable media you won't be able to move files to the card. Depending on the camera you may be able to change the file transfer mode so that the camera does mount on the desktop. Otherwise you'll need to get a card reader which will do the job.
    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.

  • I tried to download my photos from the memory card to my computer but I got an error message of  " file not found ". What would cause this ?

    When I inserted my memory card from the camera into the computer it opened the Adobe window. I clicked on the get photos icon and the process of downloading to the computer began as usual. But when it was complete an error message came up No file found. Now I cannot open anything to view any of my previous photos. How do I fix this ?

  • Error -36 when trying to copy photos from new memory card to mac hd? HELP!! very important photos!

    bought a new memory card, took 700+ photos, i can preview the videos (.mov) in finder and can see the thumbnail preview of the photos (.nef) but cannot open the photos larger in preview or copy any of the videos/photos to the hd. I can open the photos in photoshop directly from memory card but cant copy or move photos/videos from memory card to mac hd. (error -36 pops up..something about the file cant be read) please help!

    I took the memory card back to best buy and the geek squad was able to help me fortunately by putting all of my pic files onto one of their PCs and then putting all my pics back onto a NEW memory card; then we plugged the new memory card into the computer and transferred the files seamlessly. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the way my memory card was formatted. I now put my new memory card into my camera, format it (very easily done with the in camera menu), and take a few test shots and transfer the pics to my computer before doing anything valuable with it. Thankfully all of my files were not damaged.
    *BEWARE!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD WHILE YOU HAVE PICS ON IT AS IT WILL CAUSE ALL PICS TO BE DELETED! IF YOU HAVE VALUABLE PICTURES TRANSFER THE ENTIRE DCIM FOLDER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, THEN ERASE MEMORY CARD AND FORMAT IT, YOU THEN MAY BE ABLE TO PUT THE DCIM FOLDER BACK ON THE SAME MEMORY CARD AND USE IT SUCCESSFULLY. IF YOU STILL CANT USE THAT SAME MEMORY CARD YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCESS BUT AT THE END PUT THE FOLDER ONTO A NEW MEMORY CARD INSTEAD.
    Hope this helps someone =)
