Why am I getting 2 images of each picture on iPhoto when I connect my iPhone to the iMac?

I have been experiencing this problem for a while. However, it doesn't happen all the times.
When I connect my iPhone (4s) to my iMac (running Yosemite), iPhoto pops up on screen, all the pictures from my iPhone displaying under "Devices" (i.e. the iPhone) are all duplicated, meaning each picture has 2 copies displaying. Therefore, I don't feel comfortable uploading them to the iMac, worrying that I may get 2 copies of everything taking up the memory.
Appreciate if someone could help me resolve this problem. Thank you.

Before you import unplug the iPhone and plug it back in.  That usually will remove the duplicate photos showing and import just one copy.

Thanks for the above input from all. I found, regardless of updates and whatnot... that if I were importing photos from my phone via the USB connection, I had to make sure that in iTunes both "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and Sync this iPhone over wifi were UNCHECKED.
Open iPhoto after those options in iTunes correspond, and finally the duplicate issue stopped.

  • When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error  (Code 31).

    When i connect my iphone to the computer, win 7 i get the mtp driver error  (Code 31).
    I must mention that connecting the phone and accesing it as a camera worked before but at some point it didn't and i keep recieving this mtp driver error. I tried everything including deleting registry entries, reinstalling multiple times, use the log administrators command in cmd, i don't have a pass on my phone, nothing worked so far. Any help would be apreciated.

    Yes I did..  Everything is ready.  Just when I plug the cable into the phone and the computer nothing will happen..  When I plug it into our "business" laptop immediately it will show that it is connected...  With this laptop I am using now, nothing happens..

    Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
    Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.

  • Why my pics and videos are separate in several files when I connect my Iphone 4s to my Windows 8.1

    When I connect my iPhone with windows 8.1 I can't find my pictures cause since a week ago I have many different files. I'd like to regroup all my pics and videos together in just one file.

    Hello Steve Hengen,
    I apologize for the delay.
    I have test in my own environment and can normally map the network driver when logon as Microsoft account.
    Do you check the option Reconnect at logon?
    If you use Connect using different credentials, do you check the option Remenber my credentials?
    Please take a look at the following article about map a network drive.

  • TS1501 Image Capture does not launch when I connect my iPhone to my iMac and open iPhoto. No "Prefernces" is offered under Image Capture.  I cannot import photos to iPhoto.

    Can't import photos from iPhone to iPhoto.  Image Capture does not launch when iPhone is connected to my iMac and iPhoto is open.  There is no "Preferences" option offered to click when in Image Capture.

    This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
    "Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
    The file in question is under your user folder.
    I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
    Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

  • TS1702 Why does my mac open with iphoto when I connect my iPhone

    When I connect my iPhone to my Mac Mini the Mini opens automatically to iPhoto and just sits with the wheel spinning.  I have to force quit to exit.   My mini is set to automatically open in Itunes when conncected to an iPhone.  Not happening.  Any thoughts?

    iPhoto SHOULD open if you have photos in the Camera Roll, just like it would with any digital camera.

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

  • Why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

    why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

    Because your screen is calibrated incorrectly? Because you are using an Adobe RGB color profile instead of the recommended sRGB? Because your printer is not working correctly?
    With no information other than "it does not work" guesses are all that one can provide
    What set up do you have? What color profile are you using? How is your screen calibrated?
    What else can you tell us?

  • TS4435 Apple's temporary fix to drag each picture in iPhoto is not really a solution for a big pic file. Better to use the save all feature and save to a temporary place before importing it to iPhoto.

    Apple's temporary fix to drag each picture in iPhoto is not really a solution for a big pic file. Better to use the save all feature and save to a temporary place before importing it to iPhoto.

    Can you explain why the image size matters when dragging and dropping into iPhoto?

    Why do I get 2 curves and not just i when I create a diagram from a row af data in a table ?

    Erik,
    Thank you for giving me the points.  Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved.  It is totally your at your descretion.
    OK.
    This is still not clear.  To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3.  The cursor will change to a crosshair.  Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release.  The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
    Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
    , click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
    Here is what you sent me:
    The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing.  Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
    This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
    Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table".  You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values.  You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:
    The Numbers Users' Guide is a great resource you should utilize and can be found here:

    Whenever I take pictures in a dark place with my Iphone 4, the pictures come out with a purple haze. Why does this happen?

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
