Why the Photos app saves multiple copies of pictures?

What system and Photos version do you use?

Where are these pictures?  How did they enter the photo library?

Where and how do you see these multiple copies.

  • Why the photo app will not be stopped?

    My photo app acted strange for weeks. A few weeks ago I tried to copy the photos on my phone to my computer, a Macbook Air, the apple photo app. No photos have been copied and when I tried to close the application, it did not work. I can still see the icon in the desktop menu and when I click on the application it says «Closing Photos» It never end well.

    I tried to turn off the computer, but it says I need to disable the first photo application. What can I do? Is this a common problem? Appreciate all the help I can get.

  • Why don't Windows (or the Photo app) read more a picture of the USB port?

    Why do Rt Windows reads only one photo at a time a USB plugged into the USB port?  I had imagined that the Photo app would be able to see the drive and move from one photo to another, but it does not work.
    I have tried using Windows Explorer to slect all the pictures, and then click right and select 'open' from the menu.  Only a single open photo.  He need to return several times to explore, click on the following picture, wait until it opens, etc..

    On my desktop PC (a Dell running Windows 7), Windows Photo Viewer will open one and then pass that one to what is provided for in the same folder, by clicking on the button "Next" or "previous."  Works with both files on the disk hard and files on a USB key.  Seems pretty obvious to me.

    Am I missing something?

    (PS: I'm sure that someone else asked this, but a couple of searches do not turn up quite the same question.)

    Last updated on 15/07/13: I managed to solve this problem. All I had to do was to rename the folder in the case to be 'Photos' instead 'photos.' It's a trick that I had read some time ago and had not followed. Once I renamed the mounted folder (because it shows on the C drive), the photos are visible in the Photos app.   Curiously, the photos appear but not the name of the subfolder. Not really a major problem, but a little... weird, maybe.

    Hi Benzman,

    1. what other app are you talking about where the photos are working properly?
    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?
    3. What is the format of these photos?
     
    I tried on my side, and it works correctly.
    a: I clicked on the Windows Logo + E to bring up Windows Explorer.
    b: then I selected all the photos and then right-click on it and choose Open.
    c: open photos, and then I click on the arrows to navigate to other photos.
     
     
    Good day!

  • Photos deleted from the Photos app after importing and deleting off iPhone

    As the title says, today I was importing my photos and video of my iPhone for free space and to save my photos of my MacBook Pro. After everything has been imported, I deleted all the photos from my iPhone. Began shortly after the deletion, all the pictures I imported "up-to-date" and by removing themselves from the Photos app (on the macbook) and the iCloud photo library.

    I'm a bit frustrated because it was the exact opposite of why I import me my pictures and video on my computer. What is happening and is there a way I can retrieve media? Thank you.

    iCloud photo library has a single purpose - to share a library among multiple users to keep all the identical libraries so nothing added, it is added, removed or modified in a deleted or changed in all - it is a solution for streaming to the synchronization of all libraries - it is not a backup or a place to store a part of a library

  • Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Whenever I have send a message to my Mac Book Pro there is a duplicate in the sent folder. This does not happen with messages sent from the iPhone 6s or Outlook Web site. This happens only when I send a Hotmail.ca and not Gmail.com

    signed,

    Irritating confused

    Hey TaylorP56659,

    I understand how to duplicate emails sent may irritate you, no worries however! I can help you to see if we can get this sorted out. So if it happens with your Hotmail account, try to check in Mail preferences, behaviors of the Hotmail account mailbox. It is possible that you have sent items save on the server that will allow the Mail application to have twice. This is because a local copy and the copy on the server downloaded is in the follow-up of the app the steps below to disable the registration of sent items on the server and will not happen. You can also check the Hotmail settings via webmail.

    1. launch the Mail application

    2 select email preferences from the Mail menu bar

    3. click on the tab accounts

    4. highlight your Hotmail account

    5. click on behaviors of the ball

    6. click on "store sent the Server Messages.

    7 close the preferences of Mail and send a test message

    You can see the other Preferences in the mailbox behaviors

    The steps above should stop these form of duplicates to appear in your sent folder in app Mail thank you for using communities of Apple Support

    Have a great day.

  • Should I delete iPhotos when I get the Photos app?

    I have Photos and iPhoto on my iMac. I am satisfied with the Photos app. Can I just move the iPhoto application to the trash?  What happens to my library of photos, movies etc. ?

    You can, but it is not recommended

    The iPhoto application takes up very little space and is very difficult (if not impossible) to recover if you want or you need

    And delete the iPhoto library will recover very little space- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  • How can I access my photos on my macbook air without opening the Photos app

    I can't find my photos when I want to upload a picture on the internet. I don't want to make copies of these photos to another folder on my mac. "Show file referenced in the finder" is gray! I'm a new mac user and I find this very frustrating.

    If you use your Mac then this is the app that photography is another device/app to see (and edit and arrange if you wish), your photos. Do you have an objection to the use of the Photos app?

  • Can someone help me, I am trying to insert a photo into Microsoft PowerPoint, and I can't seam to get pictures in the photo App albums

    How can I insert pictures in an album in the photos app in a PowerPoint presentation, I had no problem with iPhoto, but cannot get them to insert without them emailing myself first and then a copy of the e-mail.

    What version of PowerPoint are you using?  2016 desktop applications are fully compatible with Photos and show your library of Photos in the photo browser, but the older Office 2011 cannot display the photo library.  If you have an older version and want to use the photo browser, update.

    Instead of broadcast, you can simply select photos in photo and use "file > export" to save your photo album in a folder on your desktop. Then drag the photos in this folder to PowerPoint.

    If you are already running Office 2016 but still don't see photos in the photo browser, check, if your current photo library has been activated in the library of the system.   The option ' Photos > Preferences > general > use as a system library "should be greyed out. And if your photo library is a library iCloud, enlarge the photos in pictures, to force a download from iCloud, until you try to use the photo in other applications.

  • Plug my 6s continues to open the Photos app even after controlling for him?

    With the help of an iPhone 6 9.2 running. As a Mac Pro (mid-2012) running 10.11.2. When I plug my phone in, the Photos app opens wanting import me all my photos. I'm not interested by this on this machine, since it is a work computer, so I'm going to Capture Image and tell the computer not to open any application, when I plug in my phone. However, it seems that if I go a day or two without connecting to the work, it immediately at the opening of the Photos app is once again going even if I put it above to not open any application when it is plugged.

    Any thoughts on why this keeps happening? Does not seem serious whether or not I restarted my computer, it will do the same thing anyway.

    Hello bdouglas,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you don't want pictures to launch whenever you have your iPhone connected to your work computer.  It's quite understandable, so to get this option changed, please follow the steps below.

    1. Plug in your iPhone
    2. Select your iPhone from the column on the left in Photos
    3. Deselect the checkbox next to 'Open pictures for this device'
    4. Photos of quit smoking

    After you follow these steps, Photos should more be opened whenever you connect the iPhone to your work computer.

    Take care.

  • With the help of the function of the Photos App on a laptop

    I have imported a lot of pictures for the first time and that you can see these pictures in the picture library. I understand they go automatically into a folder labeled with the date, but I can see all the individual photos. The old 'Images' folder (incidentally I don't understand why there is a place for the Photos App and a pictures folder) says that the folder is empty. I am going round in circles and have tried several times. What else do I do it please?

    Hello Bridgit,

    Please contact the Microsoft community. To enable the display of date in the pictures folder, right-click on a blank space in the folder and under group by , select Date. It will be re - organize your photos according to the date they have been synchronized.

  • How to add photos from the photos app to lightroom?

    New to photoshop or lightroom/bridge. I'm already massively confused. What I really do is process my photos and know where they are going once I press save. Frankly, I had a lot of problems who feel extremely unnecessary. For example, I download pictures from my memory card, put them in a photo album, delete the ones I don't want and then try to edit in photoshop. First of all, all the photos I already deleted are always selectable in the album, then it sucks. Then after that I edited the picture and save it, it saves it to a file of "photoshop". I don't know what it is, but whatever it is I don't know where he's going. In the same sense as this issue, several times when I have everything just to edit a photo in the photos app, and then try to download (tell Facebook or laboratory) the photo does not keep changes. I am a huge mac hater right now b/c of this.

    Using Lightroom can be confusing with how he save refers to images that have been deleted. They must be removed from the LR catalog. If you use LR, all your deleting and moving files around must be made here or it turns into a big mess. I would like to move your post on LR forum for better responses.

  • My photos and videos are not in chronological order, when I export the Photos app

    Hello. When I export my photos and videos from the Photos app on my iMac all the photos and videos are not in order. I need all the photos in good standing - I need to export about 5 000 pictures of the application in order for a meeting next week! Help, please!

    Ethan.

    This is not photo - it is a function of the viewing program (probably the finder) - once the photos are exprted form pictures you can see then in different ways which you control, Photos does not - by the finder you can view by name of son, byt several dates, by file size, etc.

    Usually, the best way to accomplish what you want is to export using the names of batch file numbeing and then sort by file name in the program viewing

  • The people in the Photos app clock?

    The people in the Photos app supposed to sync between Mac OS and iOS? Is this an element broken or not supported? Someone please tell me that Apple does not expect me to organize people over and over again on all my devices? That would be quite ridiculous. I've never used the faces feature in previous versions for this reason.

    Unfortunately not.

    Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

    https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

    Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

    And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

    It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

    http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

    People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

    I can't test on iOS devices, because only my iPhone can be updated to iOS 10, not the iPad and iPod touch, but the iPhone will not sync with my Mac people.
