Duplicates in Photos

I transfer photos for most of my iPhone, but sometimes my iPads and SD cards.  Many of my images are Photos on my iMac several times.  Sometimes, once, twice higher to duplicates of 7 to 11 of the same image.  Usually, it's was all bunched together in a row, but sometimes they are at once under a Group date to pictures and lower once again under another group to date.  They may even appear a third or fourth time.

When they are right, it is easy to remove duplicates.  But when they are dispersed it requires scrolling back and forth between the images to be sure they are the same before deleting a.  This can be very tedious since I have more 17 000 images, including duplicate.

I have three questions.  Why are these images in Photos several times?  When I got my iPhone and transfer photos to the iMac, he would ask if I wanted to take them off of the iPhone or the SD card, when he finished copying the images on the desktop.  This offer is not made over the years for the images remain on the iPhone or the SD card.  What can I do to get this tool yet?  Thirdly, is there a software that will search for duplicates and remove them upon request?

  • Address duplicates in Photos

    When I go to Photos/Moments I find duplicate photos. I want to delete a duplicate of the moment.  I used for both info and see that they represent the same file.

    When I hit the delete key after selecting one of the two images, I wonder if I want to delete all my devices. Because I don't want to delete the picture from all of my devices - I want to just delete the image duplicated right now, what to do?

    Because I don't want to delete the picture from all of my devices - I want to just delete the image duplicated right now, what to do?

    Using iCloud photo library? Then any photo that you remove from your photo library is removed from the moments in iCloud as well, and this deletion will be synchronized to devices alls.  With iCloud Photo Library, the library is synchronized and still be the same on all devices.

    The photos in Moments are the basic elements in your photo library.  Each photo is in just a moment. A picture of his time deleting means completely withdraw from the library. It will be removed from all albums and projects as well.

    Pictures double in your library can be created by importing the same photo twice, either by using "Image > duplicate" to create a second version of the photo. Latter versions will be sharing the same original file and doesn't require does not store twice.

  • Sudden unwanted duplicates in photos

    Hello

    I found that a whole bunch of photos have been reproduced in one of my folders.

    The strange thing is that there are no duplicates in the 'Pictures' folder. They only appear in a date range smart folder to cover a trip I've been on and.

    Duplicates are exactly the same as the originals, but they are. JPG instead of .jpg and their size is reduced (9 MB becomes 5 MB).

    Can someone tell me how they appeared, and, therefore, how can I avoid this repetition?

    What is the best way to get rid of the duplicates?

    I imported these photos of my library of photos on my laptop on my iMac. Would that be something in this process?

    There are even some pictures that I deleted that reappeared!

    Confused!

    your message is not clear

    In files pictures and photos - hold it are albums or other records - and all the pictures is an album not a folder and there is no smart folders, only of the smart albums - since we cannot see you and don't have words to communicate with them using properly is important to eliminate miscommunication

    Assuming you actually hear Photo Albums we need additional information

    Are you sure that there are no duplicates in all Photos? PHotos of all the albums is sorted by date added, so if you import those pictures twice (probably guess what happens) the first game and the second would not necessarily together or even near the other did so all pictures one I expect that you will find a second importation of these photos - if this is correct so all you need to do is select all the photos in an import and delete them (hold down the command key and press the delete key)

    Also look in the Moments of the Photo and see - once again, I hope that you will find two games there too

  • Duplicate Cleaner photos

    My Photo Duplicate Cleaner will not identify many obvious duplicates I have in a folder on the desktop.   The folder is also a problem being slipped and fell into the cleaner of Photos for verification, but eventually could be verified.

    Photos Duplicate Cleaner worked but for my other images in double.

    JAGFA

    Never, I was able to get consistent results from it.  And even worse, sometimes thumbnails with the same name as the original would sometimes get when the original wasn't.  I found that it was easier with iPhoto just to put two photos side by side to make sure I was remove the tile and not the original.

    Since you didn't provide any information at all can only guess - pattern the more common to have duplicates uses both MyPhotoStream and iTunes Sync or direct import and import the same photo more than once

  • How to delete the duplicate and photos using windows 7 x 64 bit?

    I have a new computer using windows 7 x 64 bit. I noticed a lot of photos and files duplicate on my hard drive. It seems that any device that you plug into the computer it automatically records in the library under documents, music, pictures, etc... When configuring my e-mail or import/export does duplicate the same info, instead of ask or inform it is a duplicate. Help someone. I can't go directly to MS supports without going through many unnecessary changes. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO?

    I have a series of photos that I imported into LR CC which appear as double, i.e.i have two copies of the same image. do not understand why it happened. I guess now I need to remove them all and reimport them so I find myself alone with a copy.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please, the next time you import images into Lightroom, make sure the option for "do not import suspected Duplicates", under management files is checked.

    So that you only see the images duplicate in Lightroom.

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Duplicates of photos on two handsets

    My wife and I have two iPhone 6s. Initially, we used a single connection to the AppStore. She got the phone three months before me. Problem is that whenever I take a picture even dupliquera also in his mobile. Of course it of boring and don't know how to stop. We have tried to create a new id for it. But the problem is still there. Any idea on how to solve this problem?

    If you go to settings > iCloud, you two are still using the same Apple ID it?

  • Photo library - iCloud how to remove duplicates

    All, someone knows something about OSX/IOS 'Photos' app will detect and remove duplicates photo9?  My library 'Photos' 63 299 photos & videos of 2135 from may 2016 and at least 10,000 + of these photos are duplicates (based on an analysis of Photosweeper). I have checked the results of the analysis of Photosweeper by doing a manual visual comparison and check images original in iphoto library (using the function location of show) and confirmed that these 10 000 + photos are images duplicate identical with names of different files in different parts of the photo library database.

    So what is happening and how to stop 10-15% of my picture library being duplicate files! I will raise this directly with the apple support payment for the 1 TB icloud service to cover my very large library 'Photos', which should probably be just a large Photo library!

    A few other comments for those who have a double problem:

    -L' old iPhoto application used to "detect duplicates" when import but the new application 'Photos' does not. Anyone know about this?

    -J' saw the documentation from apple saying the icloud search duplicates in 'Photos' when in the icloud, but clearly not work or it does not work if duplicates exist also in the version of the imac to the library 'Photos '.

    -Beware of apps that claim to find 'photos' duplicate and are recommended on various Internet sites, a number of them don't work with the old iphotos app the new application 'Photos' (I discovered after you pay and download). If you need a remover of duplicates of photos that work with 'Photos' review and stay away from any application that do not specify clearly and explicitly he works with "photos" and has been seen since the release of the Photos app.

    + I paid $10 for "Gemini" dual Finder and has been a complete waste of time that didn't work only not with the "Photos" application (it wasn't not clear documentation or support, and when I trigger it supported by Macpaw that they said gemini does not support photos and told me to buy another app macpaw - I told them to go jump in a Lake).

    + I found very good Photosweeper that you can set to match exact or variable (for example photos of accidental burst which are 99.99% identical but 0,1s collapse) and then you can right click to view original file / image in the library to manually check duplicate (if you are paranoid like me) - there are many other paid apps that also make this store then around

    Photos detects duplicates when you import pictures and when you synchronize with ICPL

    Photos does not analyse the duplicates, but checks for them during import and download of IPCL

    There are a few duplicate programs that are tested as safe with Photos, including PowerPhotos, PhotoSweeper for the pictures and Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - do not use a tested and documented as safe\

    And I'm not clear what your post is about since you are asking how to find duplicates and then provide a good answer - photoSweeper - it is one of the safe and effective ways to remove duplicates for Photos

  • How can I find duplicate photos?

    How can I find duplicate photos?

    On Photos for Mac?

    Photos will find them for you, when you migrate iPhoto library to Photos, or when you import pictures, or transfer the pictures to iCloud photo library. on these occasions photos is searching for duplicate photos and store the originals in doubles only once. It is so unlikely, that you have an exact replica of the original images in your photo library, you can have versions however duplicate of the same photo, if you he duplicated before edit. Duplicate versions don't require storage space.

    If you have duplicate pictures Photos could not recognize them as duplicates, because the original files are different in some way, Photos can not detect them.  In this case, you need a tool to search for them. Photo Sweeper can compare images based on histograms or bitmaps and detect duplicate versions, which have been scaled down in resolution or edited.

  • When I import pictures from my camera, the photos that were imported in the past are imported causing even many duplicates. How can I avoid duplication?

    Several months ago, the computer asked if I wanted to erase the old photos in the computer, but now it does not.

    Hi William,.

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. what happens when you try to install .net framework 1.1?

    2. do you receive any error messages?

    3. do you have a security program installed in the computer?

    4. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    The best way to get rid of duplicates of photos would be to sort the files by name, to compare and to delete files.

    There are also several third-party programs that you help find the duplicate on the computer files, and delete them. I suggest that you use your favorite search engine and look for the file duplicate, find programs.

    DISCLAIMER OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
