Why are their duplicate thumbnails of my photo files?

I've noticed recently that when I view my photos in my iphoto libraries, many are duplicated - without my having done so. When I am in "edit" mode and have highlighted one of the duplicated photos, both copies are highlighted in blue in the thumbnail version above. How can I get rid of these second copies???

I have also been having a problem with duplicate thumbnails. iPhoto is creating duplicates when importing from my Pentax Optio 5i.
As per previous posts when I select one, both photos are sometimes selected, not always. If only one is selected and I drag it to the trash both photos are deleted.
I have tried re-indexing everything (alt+command) when starting iPhoto but no change.
I have iPhoto 5.0.4 - It seems this is a real buggy application. I also have a problem that most "film rolls" seem to have a 2004 date and the same photos, even though info on the photos shows 2005, also the last roll only shows some photos from about 4 imports ago!

    Why are there duplicates in my calendar?

    Is it possible that you or someone copied them to that folder or an automated progress making a backup to that folder.  Normally if you upload the photos then will be stored in your iPhoto library folder.

  • Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

    Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

    Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all  my photos are actually  in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
    However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different.  It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album. 
    On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

  • Why are my contacts and reminders and photos syncing between me and my boyfriends phone, as well as my macbook air? How do I make this stop? I've already deleted Icloud backups on itunes but that didn't help because we still seem to be synced. Help.

    Why are all of my devices syncing with my boyfriends phone? His phones photos are synced to my macbook air photo stream, my reminders are synced to his phone, I already erased all of my itunes backups through itunes thinking that would fix the issue but it failed to resolve the problem. My contacts also synced to his phone and his Imessages are synced to my imessages now... this is extremely frustrating and would like this to stop alread. Please help.

    Well in the iPhone and the iPad in the Settings in the iCloud section, there is an Apple ID associated with the device. And in the MacBook Air there is (or can be) an Apple ID associated with the account.
    In the iPhone and iPad in the same settings panel you select what gets synced with the cloud.
    I'm guessing that your devices and your boyfriend's are set up with the same Apple ID and the switches to sync are set? I'm not an expert but that is what I'd look at first. You need to have a separate Apple ID from your boyfriend or turn syncing off if you don't want that to happen I think.

  • HT201077 why are a good portion of my photos taken with my I5 not showing on my ipad or PC

    Can't figure why a good portion of my pictures taken with the I5 don't show up on my ipad or PC windows 7

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Also, remember that there are a few restrictions regarding iCloud Photo Stream:

    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    - iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    - Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    - PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    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.
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?

  • Why are there 2 folders created - the photo library and the synced folder

  • Why are the DNG Thumbnails of my Sony DRC RX100 not shown in the File Finder of my Mac?

    When I first import the original RAWs from my Sony DRC RX100, I can see the thumbnails in the File Finder (so my Mac with OSX 10.9.1. is perfectly fine), but after reworking them with Lightroom and exporting them as DNG files, the pictures are not shown any more as thumbnails in the file finder, but as empty white boxes. The curious thing is that the RAW pictures shooted with my Nikon D5200 do not have any visualization problem after exporting them from Lightroom.  The problem is very disgusting, as I can not search for pictures in the file finder. And Adobe did just close my open request on this issue (case #0180632682) without my consent and without any solution! Who else has got this problem and knows if there is any help to this stupid phenomenon? Does anyone at Adobe take care at all?
    Thanks!

    I think that this is a Lightroom problem because the original Raw files from the camera card are shown as thumbnails in the file finder, but after importing them into Lightroom as dng, retouching them and exporting them with Lightroom, the files are not shown any more. Obviously my sony RX100 camera is not the problem, at least not for my Mac. As Lightroom always needs to work together with a windows PC or a Mac, Adobe should ensure the compatibility of the functions with the host system. I think that is what all consumers logically expect from Lightroom. And a photography SW should be able to show fotos and export visible foto files...
    The very same Dng files from my other camera (a Nikon d5200) do not have this problem at all, although I export them in the very same format as the pics from my Sony, which is not at all an exotic camera. This is very confusing.
    I export dng files because this is the Lightroom own raw format that keeps the original quality of my raws. TIFF files are too large, and jpegs sensibly reduce the quality. So there is no option. I need to stay in Raw. Do I have any other quality options?

  • Why do I get 3 sets of photo files when I transfer 3 catalogs.

    Transferred 3 catalogs from old computer, PSE 9, to new computer, PSE 11.  Result is 3 sets of photo files, all different trees.  Did this previously, then put all files in one place, reconnected one catalog and the tags were all messed up.  Wrong tag with the pictures, not acceptable!  I have about 6000 pictures in files by date.  Many files have pictures sorted into more than one catalog.  Reconnecting also brought the wrong pictures into the catalogs.  Had to delete everything and start over.  How do I end up with all picture files in one place - Pictures - and also have 3 catalogs accessing the correct file.  It worked great in PSE 9!

    You should have three different folders named "Library". They are
    <~/Library>, or the Library folder in your Home folder (aka, Library folder from user domain)
    </Library>, or the Library folder at the root level of your startup disk (aka, Library folder from local domain)
    </System/Library>, or the Library folder in the System folder (aka, Library folder from system domain)
    And under no circumstances should you even dream of deleting any one of them.
    Should this dream ever occur, you need to get cured by reading a basic book about Macs, eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…".

  • Why are there duplicate pictures on camera roll but none saving to photo stream?

    My wife and I share an itunes account and when iCloud came out all her pictures were showing up on my photo stream (she does a lot of screen caps of cute animal pics to send to her friends) so to stop that I set her up with her own iCloud account.  Now when she takes a picture, seconds after she takes it, a duplicate copy appears right beside it, but none ever go to her photo stream folder.  What gives? At first I thought maybe she had HDR on, but it's not.  Then I thought maybe I didn't have photostream on correctly but looking at it it all looks fine. It's running the latest version of iOS5.  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

    If your device has stopped adding photos to photo stream, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device to the camera roll, then turn photo stream off (which will delete the photo stream photos from your device) and back on.  That may get photo stream to function properly again.

  • Why are my mp4 thumbnails black on my ipad?

    I've made numerous videos with Animoto.  they are .mp4 & 720p or 1080p.  They run perfectly on my iPad or PC Win7 64.  The thumbnail / icon shows up on the PC, but when you sync the video on my iPad into "photos" app via itunes... the icons dissappear and just show black.  Without the icons... it is impossible to tell which movie is which w/o launching it.  Anyone know why or how it can be solved?  I need to be able to import them into the "Photos" app so they can be used with the "Foliobook" app.
    Thx.

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

  • Why are RAW image thumbnails not being rendered?

    OK. I am not sure that I used the right terminology, but I have noticed that Bridge is no longer rendering (? proper term) the Canon Raw image thumbnails properly in Bridge CS6.
    I shoot RAW and Small JPEGs. I copy the folder of images onto my external hard from my camera and open Bridge. I see thumbnails of both the RAW and JPEGs with a black border around each image. As Bridge reads each image, the black border disappears from each JPEG thumbnail, but not from the RAW thumbnail like it used to do.
    When I click the raw thumbnail once, I get the larger RAW preview image. When I click the larger image and get the loop, the RAW thumbnail then renders and  either the black border disappears from the thumbnail or the corrections made in bridge become visible in the thumbnail.
    When the loop is on the larger preview image, the image in the loop enlarges automatically to 200% and I have to take the time to scale it back to read the image selection at 100%.
    When I do a batch edit of many RAW images in Bridge, I can click done and the small slider in a circle icon appears above the RAW thumbnail, but the thumbnail is not rendered to reflect the correctiuons made to the image.
    This was never an issue before. Bridge was great in reading RAW images at all stages and now it's not.

    Have you selected Prefer Embedded previews from the toolbar, or is it set to High Quality on Demand, or Always High Quality?
    Have you tried selecting the containing folder, right-clicking and clicking "purge cache for selection"?
    It sounds like you are having problems with the cache. Depending on the number of images you have and the speed of your computer, it might be worth purging the entire cache, but this should be a last resort.

  • Why are their question marks on my iWeb page borders?

    Hopefully this is an easy one that has been answered, but I can't find any postings. Anyone know why suddenly the borders around pages, text and pictures are now clear/white with question marks in them? We have changed nothing, though this does (coincidently or not) coincide with the .mac to .me transition.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well, I seem to be having the same problems. I have question marks for album covers and picture frames. Also, I can't get slideshows to play. All I get is a black screen. Going back in to republish, there are no options to play slideshow. I can't imagine remaking my whole website over, just to maybe find that it still doesn't work. It seems like a glitch that should be resolved by Apple. If they can't fix it, I'd rather find another place to publish it, so that I'll know it's got a chance of working.
    I couldn't even send feedback to apple this morning. They must be getting a lot of complaints.
    The problem seems to be on them, and I don't feel like it's right to suffer the inconvenience, or have to remake the whole site over. I hope they'll come thru with a fix for this and make things right.
    Am I the only one who's had a problem contacting feedback?

  • Why are there some blank boxes where photos should be? maverick and iphoto 11

    Upgraded to Maverick and iPhoto 11(ver 9.5) and now some of the boxes in photos and events have no photos in them. Tried rebuilding thumbnails and repairing database, but no change. Mistakenly, I closed out screen that first appeared when iPhoto opened for first time that asked permission to do some task and perhaps this is the cause of the problem?

    Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5?  If so restore it to your Pictures folder and try again to open it with iPhoto.
    Otherwise, run the first aid again and select the last option, Rebuild Database.  See if that helps.  If not try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • HT1711 why are there duplicates sometimes and then when I go back in there gone?

    I have noticed lately that some songs are now in duplicate.  This does not always happen.  Is anyone else having this problem? 

    Try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save the setting.
