Using PSE9 as editor in iPhoto - Creates duplicate file

Am new to PSE 9. In iPhoto 9, I have selected PSE9 as the editor. After making any changes to a photo I am working on, it creates a duplicate thumbnail, file in iPhoto. Following instructions from an Apple Discussion thread, it is only supposed to update the existing file in iPhoto, not create a duplicate. Please advise. Thanks.

Have iPhoto 11. Have PSE as editor in iPhoto, which takes me right into PSE9. Am doing a Save, and not Save As. I do get a pop up window giving me JPEG save options, which I have Standard selected. Thanks.

Why does IPhoto create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream. I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000. I am using new Ipad and the Mac is running Mountain Lion

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

IPhoto creating duplicates on import

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6.
When I am adding photos to library from disk, iPhoto appears to create duplicates of some of the photos (random set, apparently) and displays the thumbnails of the original and the duplicate in the main window. One appears to be stored in the Originals folder, the other in the Modified folder, but why are both thumbnails showing up?
I have wiped the whole library and started again with a small set of photos that I am 100% sure contains no duplicates and yet, they reappear.
I have duplicate annihilator but it's algorithms don't recognize the dupes for some reason.

This could happen if your camera creates 2 versions of a single shot. Does it have a setting where you get simultaneous RAW and jpeg? In that case, you would see one thumbnail for the jpeg in Originals, exactly as imported from the camera. The RAW would go into originals, as well, and a jpeg version would be created and stored in Modified. This would give the results you've seen: one matching thumbnail in each folder. Right-click (control-click) on some of these duplicates. If any have the option "Show Original File" then choose it to locate the unmodified version - you can check if you are importing RAW files from your camera. Solution - turn off this feature in your camera. iPhoto can't control it.

Unable to use B2B Document Editor tool to create guideline from data file

Does anyone successfully used the B2B Document Editor tool to generate the guideline doc from an HL7 data file ?
I attempted to use the SpecGenerator feature of this tool to create a guideline from the "a01.xml" sample file in the HL7 tutorials (came with the B2B installation" and the wizard kept on giving me "parsing errors" message below
"The data in the file could not be parsed. Please check the file to verify that it is valid and formatted correctly. This error can occur for one of the following reasons: A) The data file may be a Word document or have some other binary format. B) The envelope data may not be formatted properly. If this is an X12 data file, please verify that the ISA segment is the correct size (exactly 106 characters). If this is an EDIFACT data file, it must have either a UNA or begin with UNB. For other standards, verify that the envelope segments conform to the specified rules. C) The segment/record delimiters in the file are incorrect."
Any idea why ? I did not alter the sample file in anyway -- its format is exactly the same as when it was installed.
Any helps are appreciate !!

Hi,
I would suggest that you learn the B2B product starting with the HL7 tutorial. Start by importing the export files and follow the instructions to make the system work end to end.
Next, you want to configure for the HL7 tutorial manually using the ecs and xsd files provided in the HL7 tutorial directory. Again, ensure that the system work end to end after you have done the manual configuration.
Next, you create a new ecs and xsd file using the Document Editor from scratch and use them in your manual configuration. You can use the same doctype and version as in the tutorial so that you can be familiar with the Document Editor and at the end of this exercise, you know you have done things properly if the system works end to end. The documentation for Document Editor is mainly in the Windows Help section.
After the incremental steps above, you will have the knowledge to implement the document type and version of your project. Going straight into the requirements in your project makes it difficult to debug because they are too many moving parts.
Hope this helps,

IPhoto creates duplicates when I click "Edit"?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and installed it on my new 15" MBP, imported my old iPhoto library, and everything seems lovely.
BUT: whenever I click "Edit in external application," iPhoto creates a duplicate of the photo, and sends the duplicate to Photoshop. When I quit photoshop, the duplicate image remains in iPhoto. This duplicate remains even if I don't make any changes in Photoshop.
Is this a new behavior? It's pretty frustrating. Any way to turn it off?

Very frustrating. I make a lot of panoramas, and I need to open four or more adjacent images at once to perform Photomerge in Photoshop. So now every time I do this, I'm going to have a whole bunch of pointless duplicates cluttering up my drive? What was the thought behind this?
Yes, I'll certainly provide feedback, and I also hope/trust Apple is reading these discussions...

ITunes and I seem to have created duplicate files. How do I clean this up?

Hello experts. I have a conundrum I'm too inexperienced to reason out. Hoping to tap your creativity.
I have a huge iTunes library I've created over the years. 50,000+ songs. No problem, other than my desire to whittle through it slowly and pare it down to only the 22,000 or so I want to keep as my primary library. I haven't gone through the effort of creating multiple libraries yet, I simply delete songs or albums from the library as time permits without deleting the original file. I figure iTunes' database will be my primary and in the long-game, I'll create a new library that holds everything, but for now I'll just keep whittling the dB structure away until I get what I want (this is a slow, multi-year project I'm undertaking -- no rush here).
Here's my problem:
Most of these songs are physically saved in the iTunes folder on an external hard drive. Some of the songs I added to my library from the iTunes store when the external hard drive wasn't connected to the Mac - so they are on the Mac's hard drive under the standard iTunes folder structure. I have the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checkboxes checked.
As I said, I've deleted songs from the iTunes app, but told it to "Keep Files" so that I could listen to them in the future if I decide to re-add them. Yesterday, I ran out of space on the startup drive of my mac, so naturally, I figured I could consolidate any files on my hard drive over to my external hard drive and delte them from the mac.
In iTunes, I went to File -> Library -> Organize Library. I checked both boxes for "Consolidate files" and "Reorganize files in the folder..." I let this run overnight to consolidate my library into one place. Today, I found that the function was unable to complete due to lack of disk space on my external hard drive. When I went to check the external hard drive, I found that iTunes had duplicated all of the songs that were on the external hard drive in their existing folders.
For example, now I have a file under the structure: iTunes library -> Music -> Blue Oyster Cult -> Heaven Forbid -> Cold Grey Light of Dawn.mp3
And I also have a file under the structure: iTunes library -> Music -> Blue Oyster Cult -> Heaven Forbid -> Cold Grey Light of Dawn 1.mp3
So now the immediate problem... The consolidation didn't finish, so I don't know exactly how much duplication iTunes created. I checked my library, and sure enough, the song in the library is pointed at the duplicate file (the one with a 1 at the end). I don't have the option to just copy the iTunes library to another external drive temporarily (or not easily, at least). I checked out a bunch of duplicate file cleanup programs, but the ones I found (and I even purchased Gemini's dupe file finder/cleanser) don't seem to inherently choose the correct duplicate file that is linked to iTunes library dB. I can't realistically pick and choose from the thousands of files that have been duplicated.
I decided to change the advanced preferences in iTunes to an entirely new folder on the External hard drive. Then I could just go back into File -> Library -> Organize library and select only the "Reorganize files..." checkbox without selecting the "Consolidate files" checkbox. I figured this would just move all the files that are in the iTunes dB to the new iTunes folder. Ummm.... but no. Apparently this "Reorganize files" checkbox is only available if you select "Consolidate files"...? To be clear, "Reorganize files" is greyed out.
So to summarize:
1. Why did iTunes create copies of existing files in the exact same location they were in?
2. What is the right (and I pray easy) way to get my library back to the right size and consolidated into one place? I'm still dangerously low on disk space on the mac...
<sigh>
Thanks for reading through all this!

Mac Mini OSX 10.8.3; iTunes 11.0.2 (26)

See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11, but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.

ITunes creating duplicate files under a hidden folder named "Volumes".

It seems my iTunes program is secretly making a duplicate file in a hidden folder called "Volumes" on my laptop hard drive. It's now maxxed out my drive and I need to both remove the "Volumes" folder and make sure it doesn't get created and happen again.
Details:
Using a Powerbook G4 with an 80gb drive. Using iTunes 8. The iTunes library program is in the usual place on the lap top hard drive but the music library folder, where all the files get saved to, is on an external drive labeled "Media".
Clicking normally and searching around my laptop hard drive, I do not see or am able to access the folder named "Volumes". But I know it exists as I ran a scan program called jdiscreport and it clearly shows a huge folder, 45gb, named "Volumes". There are also a few old flacs in the "Volume folder also. The iTunes duplicate files are in identically named folders as the external drive: iTunes Music located within Media, located within Volumes.
When I rip a CD in iTunes (or the iTunes-LAME program I sometimes use), the files do go to the proper external folder as expected and as I've set in the iTunes preferences section. So why is iTunes also saving the same thing to this mystery "Volumes" folder on the lap top hard drive? How do I get rid of this folder without wiping my drive? How do I stop it from continuing?
Help, I have 2gb of free space left!
Thanks, James

Hi I am having a similar issue, It all started when I tried to restore from the Time Machine and it threw a error back stating that there is no disk available. I was wondering how come and went to find out what is happening and was shocked to find out that actually my entire Macintosh HD has a duplicate copy inside the /Volumes folder. I went to the XTERM to investigate and found that the / (root) has a Users folder where all my stuffs like pictures, music, movies, documents reside and the same data or content is duplicated in the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder
I first thought that it was only a link, but I later found that it is not a link and it is indeed a physical copy of all my User folders inside the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder and actually occupying my Hard disk space.
I am not sure how this happened or how it is duplicating itself. I am also afraid to delete the stuffs inside the /Volumes folder as it might crash my system (it is already hidden - I assume it is hidden for some purpose). Please suggest any options, how I can get rid of these duplicated data and how to avoid such duplication in the future.
Thanks

Premiere Pro CC creates duplicate file names for recorded VO's

When I add a voice over (VO) to my project using the audio mixed it creates an audio file in the form of Audio 2-xx.wav and it automaticly increments the xx for each new recording. Now using the CC version of Premiere, and after trying the link to Audition CC, it starts over with duplicate file names. The file names look the same as existing files, but the new ones have an extra space betwee the "Audio" and the "2". How can I control the file names that Premiere assigns to new Vo recordings?

System creating "duplicate" files

I'm the network security analyst and "computer manager" of a company that uses windows, as/400, and mac's. I'm still learning the as/400 and mac's.
Right now I've got a curious problem going thru the mac's here. The problem appears to be localized to Mac's. When User "A" creates a new folder as “Folder”, User "A" will see “Folder” and “FOLDER” on his unit. User "B" will only see “Folder”, yet User "C" will see it as “FOLDER”. If User "B" puts a file in “Folder”, User "C" will see it in her “FOLDER” and User "A" will see it in both. Yet, if User "A" deletes one, they both are deleted.
Our servers run Win2K3 Standard server and one is set up as a member server on my network for the mac users. If I log onto the server and look in windows explorer, I only see the single "Folder". I see the same when looking at it from my workstation.
Any help will be realy appreciated.

The issue is down to SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) 2 different services.
What mac os are you running?
With 10.5.8 i find that accessing a pc or NAS (mine supports SMD/CIFS/AFP) shared folders under the 'SHARED' menu on the left hand side of a finder window limits conflicts as it uses SMB.
But if i connect to a server via 'GO' 'CONNECT TO SERVER' on a mac it connects under AFT and if i create a file it is not visible when connecting under SMB (this is not always the case).
Macs can see SMB so it's easier as that is the service pcs use. For mac to mac AFP or SMB, i haven't found one better than the other. Macs and pcs are alot more compatible than a few years ago.
I hope this helps.

Edits in iPhoto create empty files

iPhoto '08 imports photos correctly, but creates empty files (0kb) once I edit. The original is retained correctly, and I can always "revert to original" to get the files back, but about a quarter of my edited photos show up as empty files when I try to view them. How can I fix it? Why does it happen to some, but not others?

Have these been shot with a Nikon? I've seen occasional reports on here of this happening with Nikons.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

ITunes consolidation creates duplicate files in iTunes Media folder

Hi,
I recently downgraded from iTunes 11.0.2.26 to 10.7 to get around an AirPlay bug i see starting in 11.0.
As a result I need to rebuild part of my iTunes library and am seeing some strange behavior.
I have some Movie files currently in the iTunes Media folder (where iTunes is pointed for the media) -- when I drag and drop these into iTunes and do "Consolidate Library", iTunes creates 2 files (1 is a duplicate) in the Movie folder. For example, if I have a movie titled "HomeMovie" I see the following folders:
"Movies --> HomeMovie" and within the HomeMoview folder I see the following 2 files: HomeMovie.m4v, HomeMovie 1.m4v
There is only a single listing (HomeMovie) in the iTunes interface, pointing to HomeMovie 1.m4v.
Strange.
I can get around this by deleting HomeMovie 1.m4v. and pointing iTunes to HomeMovie.m4v, but this is not desirable.
"Copy files to iTunes Media Folder" is disabled.
I am also seeing this behavior when dragging and dropping files from an external Hard Drive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
I have been doing some testing on this subject and I agree that PSE does leave unwanted temporary files around.
I checked out PSE 9, PSE 10 and PSE 11 and they all leave the temporary files there. I'm assuming that the files are created as a safety measure for when the main file is updated but as you have found out, PSE doesn't remove them.
By reading other forum threads, I get the impression that Adobe aren't really interested in it as they feel we should tidy up our own file system. It's like taking a walk through the park and dropping some litter - do you pick it up or leave it for the park keeper to pick up. I was always told to pick it up.
I'm not sure whether you are aware, but there is another Adobe forum for bug reports and feeback. I think Adobe may look there more than they do on this forum. I searched that forum and found a similar question asked but nobody has answered. I have added my count and comments with a link to this thread. If you can, it might be good for you to add your count.

Attachment (Excel) creates duplicate file when opened

I have a user who is seeing duplicate files show up in the attachment window of an email after they open an excel file. It saves it as a "Modified copy". I have never seen thi sbefore and neither had she up until a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Dave Burek

If one opens an attached Office document and save this from the application (Excel) then one get the "Modified copy" as a new attachment.
This is a normal function.
If Ypou feel this as an error You have to look, why Excel saves the file.

How can I best use an external editor with iPhoto?

I want to use Pixelmator or Elements to edit photos in iPhoto, but I really don't want to export/import them every time. Is there an "edit with an external editor" option I haven't found?

Hope this helps:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.

Iphoto created duplicates in seperate folder ?

i had all of my photos in a folder 'digital camera photos' and put that folder in the 'pictures' folder, when i added/imported all the photos in the 'digital camera photos' to the iphoto library, a new folder was made in the 'pictures' folder which is 'iphoto library' where it contains copies of each photo in the 'digital camera photos' folder,
i have 2 copies of each photo (one in the digi cam folder and one in the iphoto library folder) which is taking up double the space which isnt necessary
so is it ok to delete the original 'digital camera photos' folder now that they are in the 'iphoto library' folder or do i need the original folder with the original photos in it to access the same ones in the new 'iphotos library' folder?
sorry if this sounds confusing

The answer is: it depends.
iPhoto has a preference setting that determines whether it copies files to the iPhoto Library folder. Make sure you have it set before importing. iPhoto->Preferences->Advanced [Copy files to iPhoto Library folder] checked.
It sounds like you already had this preference checked (it is the default setting). If so you can delete your originals.
WARNING: iPhoto also keeps thumbnail copies of your photos in the iPhoto Library folder. Make sure those aren't the photos you think are in your library. They are just small copies.
Bottom Line: If you had the above preference checked before you did your import, then you can delete your originals.

IPhoto creates modified file

I'm a lightroom user for the editing part of my photos.
Now I've created smaller versions of my pictures and set them up in a special folder so I can have an easy way to transport them over to my mobile devices.
My issue is that sometimes when I import photos (to iphoto), it creates a modified file which is quite a bit larger then what I want in iphoto. It's about 400% larger then the photo that I have imported to iPhoto. I have not asked the program to modify anything or create any kind of copies of my pictures. I have even made sure that iphoto doesn't copy the pictures I import. I don't want more copies. I have them in my "ipod-ipad" file and that is all I need.
It's all very strange cause it no rime or reason to when it doesn't it. There is a few picture here and there that end up changed and with a modified file that is stored on my hard drive (all my originals are on an external hard drive).
The only reason I discovered this is cause one pictures was cut to only show 2/3 of the actual picture.
Does anyone know why iPhoto does this and is there a way I can stop it?
Thank you
Sophie

By larger I mean file size. Say the original (I use that word loosely since it's not my original but it's the only original iPhoto knows exists) is 250kb the modifies file might be 950kb.
It looks like the portrait photos all have a modified file but it's not exclusively the portrait pictures that have that. Some of the landscape photos have them as well. When I say revert back to original the color of the photo changes slightly. It's like iphoto has done modifications in the color as well (I have done that in Lightroom and since it is a published service maybe iphoto can sense that it has been changed).
There is no flags anywhere so not sure what you mean by that.
When I say the picture has been cut to 2/3 I mean that the left 1/3 of the picture has been cut out. Very strange. When I press revert to original, it goes back to what it should be.
None of the pictures I've been looking at for this (haven't gone thru all of them) is ordinary jpeg (not RAW) taken with my iPhone.
Thanks for you help
Sophie
