What causes duplicates in iPhoto?

I recently came back from a long trip overseas and imported all the photos from an SD card.  I seem to be getting multiples of the same photo.  Very frutrating as I want to create a slide show.  The duplicates also appear on my iPhone 5 and Ipad 2.
Help please!!  Thanks in advance

Is your camera set to shoot HDR?

  • What causes duplicates when importing from my iPhone?

    For some time i have had many duplicates from syncing my iPhone to my iPhoto library. When importing I specifically say no to importing duplicates
    I have to use duplicate annihilator to rid dups, but appears I still have many duplicates left
    I want to clean up the library before moving photos to aperture

    that does not happen to me - try renewing the iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • When synching my ipod 80 gig classic, I get this message " iPod cannot be synched.  A duplicate file name was specified"  And yet, any new music in iTunes is added.  What causes this message?

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
    See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

  • What is the best method for finding duplicates in iPhoto?

    What is the best method for finding duplicates in iPhoto?  I would like them identified and then prompted to delete or not.

  • What is the best app for identifying and removing duplicates from iPhoto Libraries/Pictures?

    I have five iPhoto Libraries (original, default merged, etc.)  I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager, but I seem to be digging a deeper hole.  Also, question about the 15,000 faces:  Are these taking up space on my hard drive?  I gather I cannot easily remove them from libraries.  Taking photos at concerts, sporting events, etc. just creates more faces in iPhoto;  frankly, I could do without ANY FACE DETECTION!

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • Duplicates in iphoto

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Getting rid of Duplicates in Iphoto- alternates to Annihilator?

    I saw some 'just ok' reviews of Duplicate Annihilator and wondered if there are any other better options for ridding dupes in Iphoto? I recently had to recreate my Library and in that process, almost all my photos seem to have doubled! 
    Thanks!

    My problem is with duplicates/triplicates saved on an external drive. Cannot find anywhere to help,
    What is 'Duplicate Annihilator' ? I have not heard of it until now.

  • Remove duplicates in Iphoto

    How do I remove duplicates in Iphoto?

    I'm going to use this thread to ask a slightly related question, if that's ok..
    I'm  trying to get rid of duplicate IPhoto libraries (on various external hard drives). 
    I opened the one I want to keep , and then looked (in Finder) at each of the other libraries and dragged any photos or folders that seemed not to be in the Iphoto library I'm keeping, INTO that library . 
    I then moved into the TRASH all of those extra Iphoto libraries.   I did not yet empty the trash, because  my fear is that Iphoto doesn't actually have those photos there, and that once I empty trash, those photos will be gone.  
    I'm sure i'm confusing things I've read about the risks of incorrectly deleting photos, so I just want some reassurance that what I did will work out and I won't find that the photos were deleted when I deleted the iphoto library I dragged them from.
    thanks!!

  • What causes my Nano to loose my work out info when I push pause on earphones?

    What causes my Nano to loose my work out info when I push pause on earphones? Although I am shoowing previous workout history, using Nike+.

    It just happened to my 4GB nano too and I reset it (Menu + Select) a couple of times (okay, about five times or so) with no luck. I hooked it up to a Mac to see if that would do the trick and still the same problem.
    Until today, my nano's been running great (it doesn't even scratch easily [I own a black one]) and I have the latest firmware on it too. I'm thinking it must have something to do with my having recently: 1) changed the name of my nano (through iTunes 6.0.1) 2) it's almost filled to capacity (40MB free) with data from iCal, Address Book and iPhoto, 3) I just upgraded to iTunes 6.0.1. [...]
    I'll try to connect and sync it to my Mac again tomorrow and if that doesn't do the trick it looks like I'll have to do a restore on my nano.
    Oh, and I also tried taking "Music" off of my main menu and putting it back on with no luck. Since this problem is only with the "Music" menu for my nano, if I'm on the road I can always put "Artists" or "Playlists" in my main menu as a temporary fix to get to my music collection.

    What I read in the PDF version of the manual (while I was waiting for my plane this afternoon), it seems pretty comprehensive. I was particularly interested in what it had to say about creating your own templates.
    Supposedly, it will remember if I left invisibles showing in templates (one of my big complaints with Pages 1). I'll find out soon enough. I must say that opening my two documents I use for answering posts here in discussions sure did open faster & navigating an 11-page table was much faster.
    Another good thing I noticed, the font used for the serial number is much clearer & there were no confusing characters - O/0, S/5, etc.

  • What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

        I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol  Moving on.
        I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

    1) No.
    2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).

  • What causes a slow mouse/cursor response on a fast machine?

    I have a system that has always displayed poor cursor redraw performance with certain adobe applications.   All rendering and other effects are fast, but basic mouse selections and button knobs are extremely unresponsive.   I have searched and searched and can not seem to find out what causes the mouse cursor speed issues.   Does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would slow for such basic Interface interactions?    Do I need to change my hardware, settings, displays, BIOS, etc?
    Any insight into what the mouse redraw/refresh is called in terms of computing would help me search for a solution.  And if you have a solution as to why my mouse cursor acts drunk and sluggish when interacting with the Adobe UI's in premiere and after effects and sometimes Photoshop I would greatly appreciate the help.
    Thank You.  I attached a screen shot of a very basic selection interaction that is dog slow.  The selection box redraws like there is a lag in some process associated with the square box overlay.

    Your answer is in this part of your specs:

    It takes a long time to draw and redraw the pixels to the screen(s) with such large monitors.
    We can mitigate this by making some changes in how our UI is drawn to the screen, and such changes are a rather high priority for use to work on for the near future.

  • HT201335 What causes the TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone?

    What causes TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone 4?

    First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.
    To get a report of the network go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC). Look for signal strength and noise.
    If on wifi try ethernet.
