Why do i see multiple copies of same photos, photo stream and camera roll

Photos on my wife's iPhone 5S take up a lot of space ( iCloud memory full, can't update phone). It How do I trim it down? I moved a lot of her shots to my macbook, then deleted most of them (except the ones she wanted available) but it didn't seem to help.

Is your question about multiple copies of photos or about trimming down the amount of memory your photos are taking up?
Photo Stream only takes up a small amount of storage since it is primarily housed in iCloud.
Camera Roll photos can be imported to a computer and deleted from the device.
When you say multiple copies, do you mean the same photos in Camera Roll and Photo Stream? If so, then you need to understand that every photo you take on your device will be seen in both the Camera Roll and in Photo Stream. They serve two different purposes. The Camera Roll is where your actual photos go and are stored on your device. These are the photos you import to your computer.
Photo Stream is where photos taken from any device signed onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on all go. That way, you can see photos on your iPhone that you took on your iPad and vice versa. But again, these photos are stored in iCloud and take up very little memory on your device.

How do I transfer multiple pics from my photo stream to camera roll so I can put on portable external hard drive?

I try to transfer multiple pics from camera stream to camera roll so I can
Upload to my home pc to save on external hard drive but they don't show
Up in camera roll after selecting multiple. I have nearly 800 photos.
Any easy way to do this??

Hello and THANKS! Copying ALL the pics works doing the Command+A, but if I want to do a group of pics the Shift key does NOT work the same way as my PC. On the PC I can click on the first one in the group and the last one in the group, then the Shift key. All the pics in-between will be highlighted. Then I can right click to copy or move to the external hard drive. I have had soooo much trouble making the transition from a PC to a Mac........it is frustrating. And one of my hard drives is older and I don't think it is formatted right so I can only view the pics on it---not copy or change it in any way........

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete 1copy

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?

Multiple copies of same photo on same page seems to assume A4?

I'm trying hard to work out how to print out multiple copies of the same picture. I want to get 2 copies on each 4x6" sheet of photo paper and have followed all the steps...
Selected 1 picture, hit print, went to Settings, selected "Multiple of the same photo per page".
I then went to Print Settings, selected Borderless 4x6 (yes, the printer works fine with that usually - HP Photosmart C4280) and set the Print Size to 2x3 and the preview shows the 2 copies of the same photo side-by-side no problem.
So I hit OK, clicked on Print and...
It's not aligning with the left hand side of the 4x6 - it's not respecting the selected paper size. If I put in a sheet of A4 to test, the 2 pictures come out in the centre of the page (in the requested size). So as a result I can't print on the 4x6 paper as most of the picture gets printed on nothing!
Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug in either iPhoto or the HP printer driver? Anyone had any success with this? If so, what kind of printer were you using?

Jemster:
Here's the workflow I used to get 2 2x3s on a 4x6:
1 - select photo & click on print button
2 - select 4x6 borderless and 2x3 print size
3 - click Customize button
4 - click on settings button
5 - select "Multiple of same photo per page" (after clicking OK two photo are shown on the preview)
6 - click on the Print button.
Where I differ is that I don't go back to Print Settings to select the 4x6 paper size after Step 5. Give that a try.
NOTE: Do a Print to PDF to check it out instead of printing on paper. That will save some paper in case it doesn't work.
That gives me two photos on the 4x6. I'm using a Canon i850. I also get the same results with an Epson R280.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Multiple copies in Aperture Photo Stream

I use one photostream for two iPhone 4Ss, an iPad 2, Apple TV, and on two MacBooks (both running Lion, one using Aperture 3 and one using iPhoto '11).
I have Aperture running on my Late 2009 13" Unibody MacBook Pro automatically import photostream photos taken on my iPhones into the usual "month year Photo Stream" folders.
Here is my issue: when I click on the Photo Stream "Library" on the in Aperture, I find MULTIPLE copies of each photo. The older the photo in photo stream, the more copies (my oldest photo from almost 5 months ago has almost 80 copies!). The most recent photos only have a single copy with number of copies increasing as the photos get older. The first most recent duplicate is from 2 weeks ago with 2 copies. This applies to both photos taken on my iDevices directly to the stream and also photos uploaded to the stream from a DSLR via Aperture. I'm concerned that having 80 copies of older photos (already copied to another folder in my Aperture library) will take up unnecessary space in my Aperture library. I am also afraid to delete any of the copies for fear that they will be removed from the photo stream of any of my multiple devices (some still displaying photos older than 30 days, eg. Apple TV).
Any idea why this is occurring? Any thoughts on preventing it?

I'm having the same problem. I deleted all the photos in the photostream then tried to drag a couple new ones in to see if they'd synch. Nothing is happening. I recently installed aperture (have about 125 gb in the library). If anyone has an idea what to do, i'm open to try something.

Why do I see another copy of same photo after it is uploaded to Revel?

I have a few photos uploaded to Revel. That seems to create a copy of the same photo in my catalog. Is this the way Revel works?

Hi skipgen,
"I have a few photos uploaded to Revel. That seems to create a copy of the same photo in my catalog. Is this the way Revel works?"
Can you please elaborate your steps here? Generally Organizer don't creates copies of media but in following cases, it will create copies:
- [For PSE12 only]: If you try to upload a RAW file from Organizer to Revel then Organizer will create a proxy JPEG and upload it to Revel. So in Revel you will have 'single' copy whereas Organizer will show two copies: JPEG and Raw. Please note that this behavior was changed in PSE12.1 (and is available in PSE13 as well).
- If in Organizer, you have an image which is already uploaded to one of the library. Now if you try to upload (drag-drop) to another library then Organizer will create copies of it (this is AsDesigned).
Apart from above two cases (If I am not missing something ), Organizer should not create copies of it. Please let me know your exact scenario.

Why do I see two copies of every photo when I sync my iPhone or iPad with iPhoto?

Whenever i plug in my iPhone to sync, iPhoto automatically opens.
There are always two copies of every photo I have taken since my last sync. I have to throw one out before syncing.
Why is that?

How do I print multiple copies of same photo on one page in iOS?

Need help in printing multiple copies of same photo on one sheet

i have PE8 installed and i am trying to print 10
small photos on a 4 x 6 piece of photo paper.
i have tried several set up options, but have not been successful
can anyone offer some suggestions?

In PSEv.8, Editor, go to File>print>#4 Select type of print>contact sheet.
You will be directed to the organizer. In the dialog, select paper size, and the layout.
Another way to do it is to do the math to figure out how many pictures will fit on the 4x6.
Crop you picture accordingly.
Open a new, blank file, 4x6
Copy picture, paste the picture 10 times. Each rendition will be on its own layer.
Position with move tool.

I am new to ipad and iphoto. I edited a photo and then selected undo, to return it to the original. Now there is a spinning disk on the screen and the program is frozen. What can I do now? I can still access the same photo through the camera roll.

I am new to ipad and iphoto. I edited a photo and saved it. Then used "undo" to change it back. The thumbnail shows the edited version and the larger window shows the original version. There is a whirling disk over the orginal version as if the program is stuck saving the reversion back to original. None of the other features will work. Turning it off doesn't help. leaving it on indefinetely so it will "complete saving" doesn't work. I don't have some of the keys and choices outlined with other posts about stuck iphoto on Macs. Any help would be appreciated.

Quit the app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Multiple copies of same picture

I have three albums on the phone; camera roll, photo library, and last 12 months. They all have the same pictures, and photo library even has doubles of everything. I want to delete all of this off the phone and only keep one copy, why can't I delete the photos in photo library and last 12 months? I tried using iTunes, but no luck and can't do it right on the phone either. I have mobileme, but I don't think that's the problem. Thanks in advance for any help...

All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. Sounds like you are using iPhoto with the last 12 months of photos that have been imported by iPhoto selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone. If so, the photos in the last 12 months are not duplicated. Photos in an iPhoto album or event transferred to your iPhone include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Just as a photo cannot be in an iPhoto album, event, or in the last 12 months without being in the iPhoto library. Photos in an iPhoto album, event, and in the last 12 months are not duplicated in iPhoto. They include a pointer to the original photos stored in the iPhoto library.
This way you can transfer multiple iPhoto albums and events to your iPhone and when wanting to view photos in an album or event only, you can select the album or event. To view all photos available in all albums or events, you select the Photo Library where all photos are stored.
You can't delete photos transferred from your computer on your iPhone. To remove photos transferred from your computer is done in the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process. If you don't want the last 12 months of photos imported by iPhoto on your iPhone, deselect this under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. If you want some of the last 12 months photos available on your iPhone, create an iPhoto album or multiple albums for the photos you want available on your iPhone followed by selecting the albums under the Photos tab followed by a sync. You can also transfer select iPhoto events to your iPhone and remove an even in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
Photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted direct with the iPhone and the Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera. iPhoto includes an option to delete photos from any digital camera after the import process is complete including after importing photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
