  Accounts iCloud duplicate not appearing in the Contacts on my Mac and I only have an iCloud account. That's why I duplicate contacts. I went though the routine was suggested to merge duplicates, but it never finds any merger of duplicates. This problem was supposedly degenerated to the genius of Apple about two weeks ago, but I have received no updates since. Any suggestions?

• If I subscribe to iTunes game with duplicates in my library, will I have duplicates in my iCloud library?

  If I subscribe to iTunes game with duplicates in my itunes music library, will I have duplicates in my iCloud library?

  Hello

  ITunes game scans your library to determine what is coupled, downloaded, purchased in double or ineligible. It will not automatically de-dup your library, but if you have the same song twice in the same album, the second song will probably have a status Icloud "duplicate". However, same song on different albums could be mapped or downloaded.

• ICloud download duplicates if she tries to download a backup library on a new computer?

  General information

  I am running OS X El Capitan on my MacBook Pro. My current setup, I have the Photos.app using a library of Photos on an external HARD drive. The photo library is 136 GB and is synchronized with iCloud library where I have 200 b of storage.

  I reinstalled OS X, formatting the SSD and got all my apps resettled. Then I tried to keep my library of Photos on my internal flash SSD instead of the external HARD disk drive permanently. I copied my library of Photos on the SSD, maintained key Option and selected my GB 136 Photos library as the library of Photos.app.  I went into Preferences and then set this as my default system for the pictures library.

  The question

  When I opened my preferences of library 136 GB in Photos.app the iCloud library option is not checked. When I checked, he warned me that I don't have enough storage in iCloud to accommodate 136 b pictures. I got 84 GB remaining. He asked me to upgrade my 1 TB storage plan. It's not like he's smart enough to understand that the library I've got, the 136 GB of photos & videos, is same Go 136 of photos & videos that he seeks to online.

  When I say just Photos.app continue to use my 200 GB storage plan, he complains that it will not be able to fit all these photos on iCloud. It will re - download all the pictures in my library? Is this enough smart to analyze any libraries (Commons and iCloud) and determine these already exist in iCloud and therefore do not need to be downloaded? I guess it would be, and in the end, I'll have my library connected to iCloud and two places containing 136 GB of data. The way in which their dialogue to explain it but won't let me not confident in this respect. The current situation shows that it downloads again everything that makes me concerned about potential duplicates.

  

  My ISP limit myself to 250 GB a month of bandwidth, so re - download the library consumes half of our data for the month. I really want to start using the library, I had already downloaded before formatting and reinstalling OS X.

  Any guidance would be great.

  Pictures downloads the complete library again at the slightest provocation.  For example, if you repair your photo library, it will download all the photos again, but it is to check in iCloud duplicates and will keep only one copy of identical pictures. But even once will take to download usually as long as the initial download, it may take even more time because of the correspondence with the photos in iCloud.

  What you could do instead was to create an empty photo library on the internal disk, enable this as the library of the system and your iCloud current photo library and wait for the pictures to download from iCloud. It will be faster to download again. The only downside would be that the thumbnails of faces are not stored in iCloud, tags searchable faces, so you should recreate the faces. It will be faster than the initial allocation of the faces, but still a lot of work.

• iCloud account appears two times in the contacts

  On my MacBook running El Capitan in the Contacts app or any other application using contacts (such as Message, FaceTime, Mail) on the left side where the accounts are listed the "iCloud" account appears twice. I tried every "solution" provided in another thread (such as discussed here: iCloud appears two times in the contacts ) but nothing seems to work. I even "clean installed' El Capitan and restored my system to my Time Machine backup (I can't start fees I need my Mac as it is).

  Anyone have an idea where you look maybe edit some system files or anything that will get rid of this double iCloud account? All the other thread solutions seem to work only until I have restart the Contacts app or do any work.

  Thank you very much!

  

  Updated - I contacted just the Apple Support and they helped me solve the problem.

  In system-> iCloud App preferences I disconnected my iCloud account and when asked to keep or to delete the files on my Mac, I would always remove Mac... After doing this, restart your Mac and you log into your account to iCloud again. This solves the problem of the iCloud duplicate accounts.

  Thank you Apple support :-)

• How can I have two desktops on iCloud sync at the same time, without having duplicate files?

  Hi all

  I have two computers, a MacBook Pro and iMac. I use the new feature for Sierra macOS, which allows me to continually synchronize my office on iCloud. I welcome the Office on my iMac be synchronized on the cloud. Now, I would have the exact same office on my MacBook Pro. I tried many ways, including by dragging files to iCloud Drive on my desktop, but the synchronization does not work. If I enable syncing on my MacBook Pro, I know that I have duplicate files.

  With this method, I would like to: whenever I have add a file on my desktop iMac computer, it shows up on my MacBook Pro Office without the need for me to keep about iCloud road opening.

  Thanks for reading this.

  Ethan

  If you enable sync on the MacBook Pro, it should not be duplicates.  What makes you think it?

• Photo of icloud eliminating duplicates

  After hours of photo editing to delete the duplicate 'on all my machines', I turned to icloud Photos and discovered that they were still there and several other copies of the same.   I see that I can remove a photo of the iCloud at once, but I do not see a way to select several images (now the SHIFT key) and then delete.

  After hours of editing Photos to delete the duplicate 'on all my machines. "

  You empty the album 'Recently deleted' to delete the photos terminally?

  I turned to icloud Photos and discovered that they were still there and several other copies of the same.

  Did you wait for the delition of synchronization?  It can take hours for the removal to synchronize with icloud.  Your Mac shows earlier "up to date" in the "Photos > Preferences > iCloud" or is he still saying "update"?

  And if you scroll to the bottom of the tab Moments www.icloud.com photos, does always show updated?

  

  The app is very slow display updates. Libraries of my Photos on my Mac synced with iCloud and demonstrate 453232 photos, but on iCloud the last 3000 photos that I took on a trip are still missing.

  Do not delete photos directly on iCloud, then photos to www.icloud.com is always up-to-date.

• Duplicate movies & the iCloud status question

  I have a strange problem.  I use the latest version of iTunes on my Mac.  The last time I was there (maybe two weeks ago), everything was fine.  Today, I opened iTunes to download two movies that I bought it.  Here were the things are a little strange.

  In my list of recent movies, I noticed that some of the films have duplicates.  There is at least 6 of them.  It is one I downloaded previously and another with the little cloud on it.  I then clicked on the full list of movies and looked at the list.  All those that are duplicated have an inscription that says bought and one that says non-eligible (in the iCloud status field).  Those who say ineligible is those that I had downloaded previously.  I tried to play a few of them, and they play very well.  I'm confused as to what happened here.  As I said, everything was fine and normal the last time I was here.  I have not opened iTunes or even done much of anything on the computer right now.  All my music is fine without duplicates.

  Any ideas what happened or how I can fix this problem?  I thought to download duplicates that have the little cloud and then removing those who say ineligible, but I don't want to end up spoiling something and lose these movies all together.  I want to just delete the duplicates.

  Hello, nhlisa!

  Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you have a problem, namely what movie double to remove from your library. I know how it is important to be sure, there is a good copy of a movie in iTunes to look everywhere. Read this article here on how to find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library.

  What might have happened, is that the iTunes Store pushed new versions of films for you. The best option would be to remove the non-qualifying version and download the iCloud version in order to have the best version available on iTunes and for your viewing.

  See you soon!

• 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

• iCloud Drive creation of duplicates in the records of the App?

  I always keep all my important files to Dropbox so I can easily access it on my iMac or MacBook Pro. I decided to give iCloud drive a test drive and moved some of the folders in there because I love the idea of working completely within the Apple ecosystem. For example, I have a folder named "Taxes" that contains my current tax information and documents, Pages, and Numbers.

  The first thing that I noticed that whenever I open one of these documents, that a duplicate file is created as if by magic into a new Apple branded folder for the appropriate Application. It seems to me that this new file appear as if by magic is an exact duplicate of my original. It seems not even to be an alias, but exactly the same file that seems very redundant. A quick experiment illustrates both of these documents in double any changes made to one instantly in the other.

  Since this is my first experience with iCloud drive I must be missing something because I can't get my head around the idea of storing two identical files, whenever I open a document in TextEdit, Pages, numbers, etc.. I realize the size of most of the documents, I'm not fat, but obviously they do not count as storage times two.

  I guess I don't know even what questions to ask here that can explain why everytime I open a file in the original file a duplicate is created in Apple records.

  They are not duplicates, they are automatic aliases.

  Pretty cool huh.

• duplicates of iCloud and photo library

  Aloha! I activated iCloud only found out I have duplicates (X 4) of most of the images. Is there a way to remove duplicates and more go frame by frame? Mahalo!

  Where are you seeing duplicates?  In your library of Photos on your Mac?  What part of iCloud have you activated: iCloud drive or the library to iCloud?

  If you don't see duplicated in the library of Photos these applications will identify and help remove the pictures in double a library of Photos:

  • Annihilator for duplicate Photos - $7.95
  • PhotoSweeper - $9.99 -available demo version.
  • PowerPhotos - $19.95
  • Photos Duplicate Cleaner - free

  PowerPhotos is the version of iPhoto Library Manager for Photos and very powerful. Although more expensive that I recommend it because it has more capabilities than others like the ability to merge libraries of Photos or copy photos and their metadata between libraries.

  

• Duplicate photos are automatically set to the library of iCloud?

  I changed system library. After that I named the new library as the library system and reactivated iCloud, Photos began to download all my photos to the photo library (yet) to iCloud.

  Do not exceed the storage limit for my iCloud plan, essentially the new library system is a duplicate of the previous, but he is now on a different drive.

  By train to group photos in my photo library, newly designated system with those of the iCloud existing photo library, will be automatically solved duplicates? Or I have to manually delete the duplicates in some way?

  Photos is to merge the new library system in your library to iCloud.

  Once the pictures are downloaded, they are compared to iCloud.

  Open the Console.app (in Applications > utilities). The Console will show you, done what iCloud.

  You can type 'photomodel' in the search field of Console. Then I see the process that makes the double check:

  com Apple.Photomodel: duplicate detection...

  

• Someone is using my email ID and apple icloud... or there at - it email address duplicate icloud?

  Someone used my icloud email address to sign up for services such as spotify, pinterest, and ooVoo. I disabled these accounts because the emails received in my email, with the exception of ooVoo which seems to be a video app for iphone and I don't want to download this application so that the account is still active with my email. I changed the password but today I got an email that someone signed up with my Apple ID with a browser Internet Explorer on Windows PC. It is not possible since I am the owner of my account, so I changed my password again, but I'm afraid that my ID Apple is duplicated or someone is hacking my computer, or I don't really know what's going on. I received a phone call from Apple support last time and when they asked for my security questions, the answers does not match but my answers on my apple ID are always the same today I checked, so I don't know what is happening. Someone had the same problem? Help, please.

  along with the password you can enable two-factor authentication.
