Why do I have duplicate images in my projects

Hi,
Here is the issue. I have all my pictures or files in projects because is how I organized my pictures. But I created an album to share it in the cloud, and the images that were selected to be in the album are shown twice "duplicated" in the project. However, if I try to delete one of the duplicated versions that are inside the project it says "it will be deleted from albums, folders etc." Is that normal when I create albums with pictures that are alrady in a project or am I doing somehing wrong.
Thanks.

Each image in your Aperture library will be in exactly one project, but can be used in as many albums and smart albums as you like, without creating duplicates. The albums just reference the images in the projects - they are just index cards grouping your images in different ways. You are not seeing duplicate versions in the albums, the versions in the albums are linked to the projects. You will see that, when you ctrl-click an image in the album and use the command "Show in project".
If you delete an image from a project, it will automatically vanish from all albums.

Why do i have duplicate notes on my iPhone even so en settings on all is iCloud the only one check?

Why do I have duplicate notes on my iphone all my settings are check for the icloud only on iphone, ipad and macbook?

This is not due to malware on your iPhone. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to run apps from outside the App Store).
Someone hacked your e-mail remotely. Changing your password should remove access, but the spammer can still spoof your e-mail address on the From line and continue sending messages that look like they're coming from you. There's not much you can do about that except alert your contacts and wait for the spammer to stop and move on.
Alternately, some e-mail accounts provide features that can allow a hacker continued access even after you change the password. GMail, for example, has a delegation feature that can be used to give someone else access, and hackers have been known to use this feature to maintain access across password changes. I am unfamiliar with Windows Live Email, but you should check for any similar delegation features.

I have duplicate images on an external HD (Mac)

I wish to remove the duplicate images and re-import the non-duplicates into Lightroom 5 but still keep the present collections with the approporiate images. How?

Yes, it is LR in English. I know why emails have been confusing. I have tried to simplify the problems below:
For example, a lot of my files are “missing” because I mistakenly formatted the HD that had them.
For example:
Previous location: /Volumes/Internal 2TB/Master Photos/PHOTO TO BACK UP/DIGITAL PHOTOS/Sterling 60th birthday/284_8414.jpg
Luckily, I have backed up these files to an external HD where I can locate them (which is time consuming). Plus, there are duplicates of the same image files on this external HD.
For example:
The files on the HD that I mistakenly formatted can probably be mostly recovered using recovery software such as. But again, this is time consuming and the recovered image files may not have the metadata used by the LR catalogue.
So, what to do? Should I first, cull out the duplicates (bmp above shows essentially six images of 284_8414.jpg) and then tell LR that the correct master folder is in Lacie instead of /Volumes/Internal 2TB/Master Photos/PHOTO TO BACK UP/DIGITAL PHOTOS/Sterling 60th birthday?

Why do i have duplicate calendars?

I noticed this morning that I have duplicate calendars showing duplicate events on all of my devices: iMac 2011, MacBook Pro Retina 2014, iPad Air and iPhone 4S. All with latest system updates. Only the calendar for my school events (which I use most actively) shows as duplicated, others remain normal. I followed the instructions on Apple's troubleshooting page: I checked that all relevant services were shown green on their system status page. Then I went to iCloud.com and checked whether on not the calendars and/or events were shown twice there as well. I saw two calendars for my school events by the same name, one with purple color that I remember choosing, and another with blue color that I think is the default color for new calendars, and that which I had not chosen. But check this: The events on iCloud calendars were NOT duplicated, but randomly shared by these two calendars. Meaning some of my school events were purple, some were blue. I have always used only one calendar for my school, the purple one.
Let me recap:
On all my devices: Two school calendars with duplicated events, purple and blue.
On iCloud: Two calendars, purple and blue, but no overlapping school events! Both purple and blue events with no apparent logic afaict.
Now the next step on Apple's page was to contact the telephone support. I submitted a contact request, and after a short while an american lady called me and we started trying to sort things out. I tried my best to explain to her my situation, but perhaps because things were quite complicated, and English not being my native language she might not had understood everything. She asked me if I had tried to delete one of the duplicates. No I had not, because even though on my devices the events were shown twice, on iCloud they WEREN'T, and I didn't want to take the risk of losing anything. I think it was at the moment I was explaining this to her when the line dropped, and she never called back.
Having given up on tech support I decided to try fix this on my on and went back to iCloud. I thought if I change all blue events to purple and then delete the blue calendar, I might not lose any events. So I double-click on a blue event, change the calendar back to the original purple and hit ok. I get an error saying "Couldn't save changes to [event's name]. Your changes to this event couldn't be saved because of a server error. Please try again." I report and hit ok. The event is still blue. I double-click it and try to change the event's calendar again. This time I get an error "Couldn't save changes to [event's name]. Your changes to this event couldn't be saved because it was just deleted by another device." I hit ok, and NOW I see two of the same event, one in blue and one in purple. Well at least the event is now supposedly where it should be. I repeat this annoying procedure to all blue events. Then I try to delete the wicked blue calendar, praying I won't lose anything important. Of course I get an error: "Couldn't save changes to [calendar's name]. Your changes to this calendar couldn't be saved because it was just updated by another device." So I go and try again, it worked for the events. And this time the calendar is gone!
But wait. The events of the purple calendar are now duplicated. So I only got rid of the calendar clone, but I still have events shown twice.
I'm getting way too tired to work on this any futher. Why is iCloud acting like this?

Highlight a song. Press command+r to reveal the song in Finder. Do that for the duplicate. Are they in the same location? You can also check this by getting info on a file and checking its location in the summary info, then check for the other file.
If you have a file in a folder that itunes doesn't control and then add the file to itunes it will place a cpy in the itunes folder when you add the file, leaving the original. Not sure how you ended up with two in itunes but I'd need to know the details of your preference settings.
I don't know about the rest. I have never bought music from ITMS.

TS4002 Why do I have duplicate email accounts on my iPhone5?

I don't understand why I have duplicate accounts appearing on my phone. Can someone tell me a quick way to fix it please?
Many thanks
Kit

Hi,
If you only have one account in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then you are looking at something other than accounts. (There is no other way to add an email account on iPhone.)
Are you sure that you are not seeing either Mailboxes, or contact groups, perhaps, rather than accounts?
Where in Mail do you see these "accounts"?

Why do I have duplicate icons of Safari after Lion install?

I recently installed Lion and later found out that Safar, DVD Player, Photobooth, and Preview all have duplicate icons. One seems to be the older version while the other is the newer version with the new Full screen feature. Just to note, all those apps were in folders before I installed Lion but now I can't even take them out of the folder. I says I can't modify or delete them since OSX needs them. what do I do?

I had the same problem. Then I went into my applications folder and found older versions for the same app; i.e. Pages and Keynote. Once I deleted the older versions, (this does not delete anything you created from them since they would transfer to the most recent version) I went into Launchpad and saw that the old icon's were gone. Pretty simple procedure.

Why do I have duplicates in my iTunes library when I have only a single file for each song on my PC?

I have duplicates for about half of the songs in my iTunes library. I've recently upgraded to a new PC so I'm assuming that it occurred at that point.
However, when I go in to my iTunes media files I only once copy of each album or song filed. Also if I search my PC I'm only finding one copy of each of these duplicated songs.
Duplicated songs appear to play equally well and there are no exclamation marks next to them either. I tried updating and that didn't work. If I uninstall and reinstall will it delete my iTunes media files? Will I need to back these up first?
Any advice on how to get iTunes to stop displaying the duplicates would be really appreciated.

Why Do I have duplicates Files !?

Hi Everyone
I've messed up somewhere.
I've just upgraded to Iphone 4S got Ipad and subscribed to Icloud, within the same week.
Big Mistake!
after trying to organize some files and synchronize my Idevices , my files are a mess !!
1 - I have duplicates music files in the Iphone music Library
2 - I have duplicates apps in Itunes application folder in my mac.
This is probably partially due to the fact I moved the entire Itune folder to nother location ( needed disk space ) although I made sure to relink it via the
Itunes / Preferences / Advanced.
Can Anyone help me sort that mess out ?
Thanks
David

...This is probably partially due to the fact I moved the entire Itune folder to nother location ( needed disk space ) although I made sure to relink it via the

You're not supposed to do it that way...
The way recommended by the support doc ht1449 is that you tell iTunes where you like your media stored from now on, then tell iTunes to consolidate all the media to that new location. Lastly you get to clean up the originals left behind on the source drive.
The way that generally works best is to move the entire iTunes folder to a new location and then reconnect to it by holding down option (shift on Windows) to choose the library.
Do the duplicate entries in your library work, or are some broken? Did you reimport the media folder after moving it?
You should be able to find some useful tools for cleaning up over at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ or there is this post which explains how to remove dupes by hand (and, less usefully for you, the genesis of a Window removal script).

My phone always duplicates almost all of my calendar events in the notification center!!!! It's annoying and I'm tired of apples software problems they're annoying as heck!!!! Apple makes pretty chunks of crap in my opinion.

Why do I have duplicate Apps in Launchpad

I just installed Lion this morning and really like the interface. It is really nice.
I have duplicate icons for things like Address Book, App Store, Calculator, iCal, etc.
Is there a way to remove the duplicates?

They may be different versions of the same app. Click on each and make sure that you keep the most up-to-date version. You can remove the older versions by clicking and holding on an icon, they will all shake and have a big X in the upper right hand corner, clicking on the X will remove the app, both from Launchpad and your app folder.

Why do i have duplicate songs in most of my albums? using iTunes match, use computer to charge phone, it must have synced now have double songs

I think when i was charging my iphone and syncing iphoto, itunes synced. i never check the box that says "synce itunes when iphone connected' but this box somehow was checked. now i have double music, taking up a lot of space. Having to manually remove all the duplicate songs. this is the third time this has happened. I do not have the time to sit and manually do this. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there an easier fix? could turn off itunes match and turn it back on again, but then have to redownload my music individually, which is also time consuming.

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Why why why do I have duplicate artists in my browser

I am trying to organize about 90gb of music and the itunes browser artists are a mess. For example, I have 2 Sebastian Bach albums. One is under Sebastian Bach in the Bs, and the other is alphabetized under S. Also I have artists that have THE EXACT SAME NAME, no spaces, no hidden characters, but for whatever reason they show up twice in the browser. Why can't I just drag and drop browser categories to combine artists?

In the browser, select all the artist names that should be listed once as the same artist. Now your library is only showing those tracks. Select All on those tracks showing and do a Get Info. If the Artist field is blank, you likely have more than one variation of the name, hence the duplicate listings. Type in the name you want now which will be applied to all the selected tracks the same way. Hit ok and see if the browser reduces down to the single artist selection.

Why do I have duplicate App Icons on my new iPod Touch?

Just got the new 5th gen iPod Touch yesterday and already LOVE it--just couldn't be happier, except for one thing:
Installed all of my apps last night, and for some reason there are duplicate icons for three of them--GetGlue, Google+, Google Voice, and YouTube.
They are in my "Social" folder on my home screen, and they work just fine. But there's a second set of those four that say "Installing" under each one; I've moved the duplicates to another folder on the second page of my home screen to hide them, but they are really bothering me--I don't want any clutter or issues on my new device.
I cannot delete these duplicate icons, when I tap and hold to enter edit mode, they do NOT have the little "x" in the corner to tap for deletion.
Any ideas? I spent forever getting my new iPod Touch set up last night, downloading all my music, etc. I really don't want to have to start from scratch again on day two.

Try restarting your iPod or turning it off and switching in on again. It worked for me.

Why would I have duplicate Sent mail messages

I use Mail to retrieve my Outlook.com mail and every message I send shows up twice in the Sent mailbox for this account. It hasn't always done this, so I'm not sure what got changed?

Dennis,
Who replaced the HD? You or someone else.
Based on your comment, it seems reasonable to think maybe the smaller library that was last modified the same month as the HD replacement was copied to the new HD and contains whatever you had in the library at that time.
I would do the following:
1 - Select 'Photos' icon in the upper ('Library') section of the Library Inspector (of smaller library)
2 - Set view to 'List View'
3 - Write down number of items displayed (listed at bottom of browser pane by default) and write down starting and ending image names
4 - Switch to larger library and set the selection and view the same as in #1 & #2 above respectively
5 - See if the number of items and starting / ending image names match
6 - If not, you might think about adding the smaller library to the larger library (after backing up both)
Note - this would be considered one of the 'Merging Libraries' procedures, bottom item at linked page below:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=3%26section=3
If the number of items and starting / ending image names in step #6 match what you wrote down in step #3, then you could simply back up the smaller library for safe-keeping and delete it if you wish.
Basically, you would need to determine whether the smaller library is already contained in the larger library, or whether it is in addition to the larger library due to HD failure and replacement. It would be typical for a technician to at least copy the old personal files to the new HD (although he / she should have told you if that was the case).
Message was edited by: CorkyO2 to add '(of smaller library)' to step #1.
