Duplication of library

I switched to Lightroom Lightroom 5.7 cc and when I let the program install all the images I had in my external drive, it also included pictures of another external hard drive and the internal hard drive of the computer. Which increased the storage in my external hard drive of lightroom dedicated, almost out of room.

Anyway is to delete all duplicate photos? I have to start over and delete the current library of cc lightoom?

Hello just shot me,

Let Lightroom recover my photos, but I have three different sources that he shot of connected through my computer to lightroom.

1. C: drive - internal drive

2 G: drive - external drive

3 j: drive - external drive

They have all the photos that I have used with Lightroom and elements before. G: drive has even back up to a previous external hard drive that came out that I backed up just to make sure that I had a copy of the images. C: drive contains photos that I put in folders to send to print on the desktop. J: drive is the drive that I called for all the new photos to copy of my cameras.

Hope this helps in the description of my situation.

Why do you have that?

When you open LR CC for the first time did he come to ask to convert your old LR catalog file?

The only version of LR that I know which search your entire computer for the image files was 2015.2>2.1/6.2>2.1 CC/6.

Which included a window of import DUMB for Dummies.

Otherwise, you will have to manually point to drives and folders to display pictures to import.

Second mistake was select the COPY option in the import dialog. You should add selected. That would be left the images where they were and just imported in the LR catalog, file of a database.

But you shouldn't have the same fact. LR CC would be to convert your old, the previous version of LR, LR catalog to one who works with LR CC.

All I can say is that you will have to start over. Make sure you have the latest version of LR 2015.5.1/6.5.1

You will also need to manually delete all the files of the copied image. What to do with the file manager, Windows Explorer.

Then just delete this catalog file. You do this also with the file manager with LR closed.

Do you have a catalog of your previous version of LR file?

  • Duplication of library and cache

    I have a 3 TB external hard drive that seems to fill up with duplicate files I don't need, and I can't get rid of them.

    Whenever I open a project, a long list of cache files appear on the external hard drive:

    I tried several times to delete them, but they continue to return each time I open a project.

    Also, I have a long list of the libraries that I can't remove.

    . I tried to delete the contents of the libraries, but finally, I get the message that I need at least one event in the library.  I thought that if I could get rid of libraries, these files cache and library could stop if all goes well produced metastases to the hard drive.

    Any suggestion as to what's happening, or how I could get rid of the libraries will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Enough to open the library from iMovie as you seem to keep opening upward libraries, which in turn generate backups, backups. You need to consolidate your iMovie content in a single iMovie library and get rid of duplicates and backups.

  • Is iCloud duplication pictures library after I moved it?

    Why iCloud download my entire library once I moved to its location?

    I just moved my library of Photos on an SD card that is I installed on my Mac after following these instructions--> How can I move my library of photos on an external drive?

    I agree with iCloud and my upload of photos was to the point of moving the library.

    When I open Photo iCloud is now downloading all 5500 images and movies and says I'm going to run out of space and need to update my subscription of 50 GB to 200 GB.  My current library is about 34 GB as my machine is tied up now of course download 34 GB of files.

    Any advice welcomed!  Thank you

    Why iCloud download my entire library once I moved to its location?

    Unfortunately, it's going to happen, when you move a library. You must enable iCloud photo library for the library again moved and iCloud will download all the photos in order to merge them into the library in iCloud.  There are many reasons for iCloud to download again the library and merge again with iCloud:

    • When you move the library to another drive.
    • When you restore the library from a backup.
    • When you switch the iCloud library temporarily to another library and return to your original library.
    • When you activate my photo stream for another library, for example an Aperture library and then come back.
    • When you repair your iCloud current library.

    All these events will cause pictures to download the new library on iCloud and compare it to the current library iCloud in iCloud.

    The last time that this happened to my current library with about 40000 photos, it took an entire week.  I had just temporarily turned on picture My stream for my Aperture library.

    When I open Photo iCloud is now downloading all 5500 images and movies and says I'm going to run out of space and need to update my subscription of 50 GB to 200 GB.  My current library is about 34 GB as my machine is tied up now of course download 34 GB of files.

    It will run iCloud storage, if the library is identical to your original iCloud photo library.  The download is to compare the files, and if it is discovered of duplicates, it will keep only one. But it's useless.

  • problem syncing iPod touch with iTunes

    Hi, I had a problem syncing my iPod touch with iTunes. I get a message indicating that there is not enough free space to hold items in the iTunes library, which indicates that I need about 43 GB.

    I tried to take as much data on my laptop thinking it would make more space available to my iTunes library which is held on my laptop.

    I had a problem some time with the storage of data files and program files. I divide the hard drive and I have a Macintosh HD 2, but also a main drive of the HD. I find that I have an iTunes library in two HD players, so I think I have a duplicate library.

    My iTunes app shows that I have a size of music library of-33,40 GB containing elements of 6940. My iPod touch has 6920 songs and 33 videos, 15 photos, 14 applications. The ability of the iPod touch is 56.4 GB, with 2.8 GB available.

    If the problem is the duplication of library, can I remove in double track of the HD2, and how to change tp parameters to stop duplication.

    Duplication of audio content seems to be a concern for you. If you have a desktop Mac, open iTunes/library/display the duplicate items. You can view and edit tracks easily.

    If you do not have a Mac desktop computer, the question is a bit tricky; There is no way to detect mp3 duplicates except manually.

    The good news is that the majority of your data bloat is likely to be in the 33 videos. I could most of the videos of archives and see what happens. (I have banned all THE videos of my iPod Touch and I couldn't believe how much I got space).

    In the case where you have still questions freezing/accidents along the steps mentioned in this forum, please make sure you keep all your elements of policies at the root of the library itself instead of placing them in the records - as a work around.

  • How Merge iPhoto, Aperture, library of Photos (and avoid duplication)?

    Hello, I had several iPhoto and opening libraries which were badly named and who had no doubt duplicates. I have now opened and Photos created new libraries. Then the Photos seems to have renamed some of the libraries, I think that each of my old iPhoto/Aperture libraries has a corresponding photo library (except one).

    I would switch to a lightroom finder-hosted workflow and I want to get all my photos in a big file (or a folder with subfolders dated), with all duplicates marked for deletion. Ideally, I'll end with a master and a modified version of the final files, but if it's too hard, I'm OK with a few masters.

    Is it possible to automate this process?

    Attached a screenshot of the mess...

  • Duplication of my library of photos from my wife (once, not persistent) phone

    My wife and I have separate MacBooks and iPhones, with the iCloud separate accounts (and want like that). I know there is no current way to actually "share" our libraries of Photos in a transparent way (grrr), so what I plan to do is to migrate a duplicate of my existing photo library (who currently with all of its photos and mine) on his machine, and then we'll take everything not turn import our photos via USB for some and other computers 'share' to proceed.

    My question is: if I make a copy of the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my MacBook and place it in the folder ~/Pictures on my wife's cell phone, will be his machine to use it properly and start using it as the basis for his own (separate) iCloud photo library? I use iCloud photo sharing with my library of photos (with my iCloud account), but my machine is set to 'Download the originals of this Mac' so I don't think I would transfer all files of complete sizes. I realize, this is a snapshot in time, and once the two libraries are set up on their own accounts of iCloud photo library, they will be Islands separated by itself.

    I know in the past I could just copy to his machine and go, but wasn't sure if the Photos Library.photoslibrary files now somehow contains the link to my account iCloud or something and would not properly be 'work' when adding to his machine. My hope is that when I first copy the file Library.photoslibrary of Photos to his machine, it will only have a local copy of the photos and then when I turn on iCloud photo library on your computer, the photos will begin downloading to her iCloud.

    This will work as expected?

    Yes it will work as expected with this comments

    You must set the library you transfer only the system library in his Photos preferencs

    and it will not replace iCloud pHoto Library - it will merge in it (elimination of duplicates in the process)

  • Windows Media Player music library maintains itself duplication

    My library of music guard preparation itself and I cannot understand why. I went through it and deleted duplicates twice now and a few days ago, they were back.  If I go in my libraries in the menu start none of my music splits just to the music to Windows Media Player list.

    If you have transferred once the song of Media Player. Do not open files in Explorer again. If you do, it will transfer the songs an extra time. So if you want to listen to your music, start by opening the media player and songs by finding th eosngs it.

  • app iCloud and photos of duplication

    First, I copied my photo library on a disk (that has been synchronized with my iCloud account).

    Then, I just did a clean Sierra install for my MacBook.

    After that find my photo library with App Photos.

    And open iCloud photo library.

    Photos app started to redownload all the same pictures to my mac book.

    So I duplicated photos now.

    How can I stop it duplication?

    (I have 13 000 photos close to 50 GB)

    The only one I know is through a third-party application.

    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.

  • Duplication of any libraries - any way to merge?

    Hello

    In my 'Images' folder, I have now two libraries - iPhoto Library and photo library.  Having considered the two libraries there is a lot of overlap and duplication between them, and as they both occupy about 110 GB each I will refine them.  Y at - it a simple way to merge libraries, removing duplicate images in the process?

    Incidentally, I just opened the iPhoto library in iPhoto and recalled iPhoto how elegant has been compared to its replacement teen Photos - this is the progress apparently

    John

    You can remove whatever library is not in use (probably iPhoto) but you will not regain a lot of space. The two libraries use the same set of images, which are the bulk of the size.

  • Previous iTunes library. ITL?

    Can I remove previous libraries and temporary files iTunes without harming the current "iTunes Library.itl" or "iTunes Library.xml?"

    Current system:

    MacBook Pro i7 15 "retina (end 2013)

    16 GB OF RAM

    iTunes version 12.4.1.6

    Size of folder Support 1.46 TB on a NAS Drobo5N

    The database has become erratic, duplication of entire directories and lose the default folders.

    I was able to fix much of this behavior of coping files on iTunes, using iTunes to delete the file, and then re adding them.

    Are these previous iTunes libraries and the temporary files needed? Is it possible to use the iTunes interface to remove them, or can I just do it in the finder without evil?

    Thank you for any help...

    1. No, unless your current iTunes made reference to something in them.

    2. move to a different folder in the Finder and check the current library before deleting.

  • What I do on a damaged library?

    Hi all. I was working on a project today, and my computer closed while I was working on it, and now the library, I worked on does not open. Whenever I try to open it, FCPX closes automatically. Apart from this library, however, FCPX works fine. I can open other libraries without problem. Is it possible to restore it? I tried it from duplication and open a library of backup. Both times, he left automatically when you try to open it. I have spent many hours on this project, so I prefer not having to start over. Any ideas?

    Cross auto-saved as FCPX, it is that they are there for.  You should have more than one.  There is no real "library repair" feature

  • Playlists of duplication, do not sync

    Lately, whenever I sync my iPod to my iTunes library, I had the problem of the playlists of duplication just instead of synchronization for how I changed on my computer. It has become incredibly frustrating because in order to sync my iPod, I have to take an hour to remove duplicates and versions of the playlists on my iPod how I want them.

    Had the same problem. It seemed occurs more often when I na not give enough time to the iDevice to synchronize first on iCloud. Nothing seemed to help, but it finally disappeared.

  • I can't erase old library?

    Is the duplication of the old library system, I can erase (to save HARD disk space)?

    Thank you

    Photos will create a new library, but the old iPhoto Library and photo library are brewed very efficiently by using hard links. The original Master of the files and previews are stored in the same blocks on the disk, so the storage will not increase much.

    See: Photo stops disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    You can delete the iPhoto library, but it will not free storage as long as the same photos are also Photos.  I would wait until you have checked if the migration went well and keep a backup copy of the original library.
