Why are photos multiplying?

last i noticed I had 1500 photos in the organizer. It now says i have 5000 because for some reason I have 3 or 4 of the same photo. These are not ones i have edited and saved the original on, they just make clones of themselves late at night i think...
I have Vista, for now and Elements 8.0
Thanks for any ideas on why this is happening and any quick ways to delete about 3500 unwanted copies. oh..they are all uploaded right fom my camera to Photoshop, with the origenals deleted after.

Are these photos present in the version set or they are present as individual copies? Can you check in the Find->By History->Imported on...what does it show there? What is the name of the photos that are duplicated?Is is the same name or some pre-fix is attached to them?

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected?

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected? In certain applications I have to manually change the ending so that the application can open the photo. Is there a setting to control to correct this?

When I mail photos (via GMail) from my iPhone they are received on my PC as .jpg files, even if sent at full resolution. Perhaps your e-mail service has imposed an attachment size limit, and in the process scales the attached picture down and alters the file extension?
What happens if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone and open the message from a PC instead of the Surface? What e-mail service are you using? (e.g. your ISP's service, or Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, etc.) When you send the photo from your iPhone, are you selecting a reduced resolution?

You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free. It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

Hi,
why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

Hi Ghallsa,
I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all. I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space. You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails. There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind. But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage. This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less. It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
good luck,

On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

I set up album in my iphoto,
selected it on apple tv
why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
Any ideas/advice?

Thanks for your comments.
I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID: an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together. Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream. More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.) The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way? I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream. Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running? I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time. It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream? I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

Why are photos from iphoto missing even though I havent deleted any?

I uploaded quite a few photos to facebook via iphoto a long time ago. Recently people have been asking me where they are. When I logged into facebook, i noticed they were gone and also when I loaded iPhoto they were gone.
I would love to know why this is happening as those photos are really important.

I have a similar situation. If you don't mind losing those photos, you can go to: Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and then click on "Stop Restoring iPhone." You'll lose those photos, but you can move on from there.

Why are photos so blurry inside and so clear outside

My photos that I take inside are most of the time blurry and the ones I take outside are not. Why is this? How can I make the photos not blurry?

Generally there is more light outside so the camera can use a faster shutter speed. This makes for sharper photos. Indoors there is usually less light resulting in a slower shutter speed. Any slight camera motion will cause blur in your photos. First thing to do is make sure you are holding the phone very steady when taking pictures.

Why are photos not appearing complete when in PDf/preview mode for purchasing a photobook?

Everything appears perfect in the project mode, but when I went to order I got an error message from customer support. When I check the book in Preview my photos are coming up with scratchy white marks throughout. Almost all are super hi-res so that shouldn't be the issue. This is my first time with iPhoto, I usually have used Shutterfly, so am now concerned I just wasted 100 hours!

What size book? This has been reported doing extra large books - it has been reported to go away when the book size is reduced to large

Why are photo attachments received on my ipad not looking correct?

Often when I receive a photo attachment in an email the photos have lines across them and different colors of hazy film or shading or bars in them. When I open the same email and photo attachment on my iMac or a desktop computer the photos are fine. This is quite annoying. Thanks.

Yes, saved photos go to Camera Roll.

Why are photos hiding behind background color on pages?

I am building a large book with over 350 photos as a gift for my 93 year-old father. I've done a number of books in iPhoto and am fairly experienced with the software. After the last system upgrade, this book seemed to be missing over half the photos. Upon closer inspection, I could tell the photos were there but with a colored background in front of them. I have moved and changed photos. Some stick and show; some don't.
When I view the book on All Pages, I can see all the photos are there, albeit very small. However, when I click on a page to work on it, or enlarge the All Pages any, photos start to move behind the background colors and I cannot tell what photo is there. After much work on this last night, I can see all the pages had all the photos showing (in thumbnail view). At last, I thought. Made a PDF version to preview it, but the PDF has colored background in front of half the photos.
I have spent hundreds of hours on this book and wanted to get it to my dad for Christmas (which will be late now) or before he dies . . . I have never encountered this issue on my other equally large books. Did the operating system upgrade cause this to happen?
Please can someone help me? LaVell

I found the black pages to show fingerprints.

Why are photos in pagemaker & PDF printing in solid blue?

I publish a newsletter that I layout in Pagemaker 7.0. When I printed it out to proof, all the photos, color and B&W printed out in one solid bright blue block. Also some pieces of text were missing in the print out. Same thing happened when I printed out the PDF version. (Everything looked fine on the screen). Burned it on a CD and took it to the print shop and the photos were fine, no missing blocks of print. Now any new document I create, or if I go into an old one, make changes and save, all photos print in bright blue. No problems printing photos from preview or photoshop. My printer is an Espson stylus photo 1280. My non-mac son thinks it might be a corrupted printer driver, but I'm reluctant to download a new one for fear I won't be able to print anything if I screw it up. Any ideas?

Is the colour profile of the files the same as that set in the printer driver?
This article from Apple might be helpful:

Last but by no means least are the Gutenprint drivers (which I use) which are superb and give you many more options than the original drivers:

Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.
