Why are my pictures getting stored in duplicate or triplicate?

Hey!
I hope someone out there can help me. Not really that well known with my MacBook Pro and i need help. I think..
Can anyone tell me why pictures (taken on iPhone, pic streaming is switched on) are stored in duplicate or triplicate (sometimes quadruplicate!?!) on my MacBook? Obviously i dont need four of the same picture and it eats up valuable real estate on my HD. Or will, eventually if this continues..
What am i doing "wrong"? Is it the streaming? Then when i hook up my phone to the Mac (seldom) do all the pictures get yet another set of copies?
Merry Xmas!

While I am not a Mac person, see if this support document helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • When I create a 5 x7 canvas, why are my pictures getting cut off?

    So, I'm pretty new to Elements 12, but I do understand things about ratios and what not.  But I am still not understanding why when I create a 5 x 7 canvas, create something on it, then try to print, it either leaves space on the edges or if I do crop to fit, cuts off my image!  I am creating a completely new canvas and adding pieces to it, like text, clipart and so on.  Any help would be appreciated!

    krogirl,
    Check the following:
    Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your printer. You can do that on the manufacturer's web site.
    Make sure that the orientation of you file and the one selected in the print set-up are the same.. If you have a landscape oriented file, for example, go to File>print. In the dialog look for "Page Setup", and select landscape.
    Crop to 5x7 before sending it to the printer. For paper size, try 5x7 borderless,
    Please report back with your progress.

  • Why are my pictures grainy (not clear)?

    why are my pictures grainy?

    The resolution of the cameras on the iPad are very low, something like 1 meg, and they are mainly for things like Facetime. If you have very good light then you may get acceptable photos from it, but you are probably better off using a digital compact or even your phone for photos

    Couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. You've posted in the Audition forum, and we only know about sound here. You need to find the Illustrator forum, and post there.

  • Why are my pictures fuzzy?

    Why are my pictures fuzzy? I recently reformatted my hard drive on my old Dell Latitude. After I downloaded the latest version of Firefox my pictures are so fuzzy it is hard to tell what it is. Type is fine but pics are fuzzy.

    Do you have a link to your images so someone can take a look?

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • Why are my Pictures distorted and not fully filled with color?

    HP ENVY 110 e-All-in-One Printer - D411a.  Why do Printed Pictures come out distorted and and Color not filled in fully?

    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Why are my pictures like this????

    I used to have a Dell laptop before getting a MacBook Pro. When I took it into my college's computuer store to be fixed one time, I received it back with all my photos on the harddrive ruined. The pictures themselves were not distorted but portions of the photo had different hues (ex., one half would be normal and then another half had a yellow hue). The lines marking the two parts could go in any direction and any hue color has happened. The store told me unfortunately there was nothing I could do. Even the thumbnails of the photos were showing this problem.
    However, when I transferred all my photos over to my MacBook Pro, I realized that although the color distortions were still there, the thumbnails were perfectly fine and not indication there was a problem. Is there any way to restore my photos from the thumbnail image, and why are they like this in the first place?!?!?!?
    Thank you!

    Its stuff like Adobe Reader (ex...Documents and Data = 8.5MB, but on Usage tab it reflects 17.1 MB and I have nothing saved there).   Other stupid things like a Flashlight I downloaded months ago. It too reflects Documents and Data = 1.7MB but the usage tab reflects 7.0MB.  Again I get and understand the games and apps where I have a profile saved with info, but the two examples above is more concerning and I have quite a few more apps just like it.

  • Why are my pictures on my iPad 2 blurry?

    Why are my iPad 2 pictures blurry?

    Dirty lens, poor light, shaking the iPad when taking the picture, could be lots of reasons.

  • Hi,I am new to I pad. Why are the pictures taken from I pad is not as clear

    Hi,why are pictures taken on the I pad not as clear? I am new to I pad.tks

    Because the camera on iPad was designed to accommodate Facetime.  By the numbers, tells you why.  The rear facing camera is 1.3 Megapixel.  The front facing camera is .7 Megapixel.  In contrast, iPhone includes a 5 Megapixel camera and if you haven't looked at point and shoot or DLSR camera's these days, they all start at 10 Megapixel.  The reality is, iPad camera was never intended to produce camera quality pictures.  In bright light it can take an acceptable picture, but in less than bright light, it is marginal at best.

  • Why are my pictures cloudy on my new great iphone 4S?

    Why are my photos so lousy o thenew phone.  when i use the flash at nigh they are horrible.  What is the fix?

    Be patient as there are a lot of others complaining about this.  For now try to use Pocket Camera App as it helps.  It may be an issue with IOS 5.0 and the camera.   Pictures aren't good on my 4S either.

  • Why are some picture files img and some pict?

    New to this and trying to learn.. looking at my images in iphoto.. I see some are img and some are pict.
    1) Should they be one or the other?
    2) How would I have files of different types when I import the same way and from the same camera?
    3) Lastly.. some small images (or thumnails) show the image.. some only show as sort of a document with JPEG on it. Why and can I get these to show the image?
    Thank you for now.. much more to come I'm sure..

    cazauga:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1 - Where are you seeing these extensions?
    2 - What camera are you using and are you shooting RAW?
    3 - Again, where are you seeing these icons? Are you seeing both in the same folder or in different folders (assuming you're viewing in the Finder)? Make sure that in the Finder's View->Show View Options menu window the checkbox to show icon preview is checked for all folders.
    Do you Twango?
