duplicates

I just read (hastily) the Apple email about My Photo Stream going away. I followed the direction to open Photos on my iPhone, then Albums, then My Photo Stream. I didn't know which photos were already in my library... Stupidly, I blundered on, and selected all, and hit the Share icon and then...

I have a very large library that is carefully curated and synced to iCloud (iTunes Match.) I recently migrated my main computer to Music and TV. On my laptops I do not start out with local music and just download as needed from iTunes Match/Apple Music. I have a duplicate library running under...

Hoping for a little help. I decided over the holiday to do a clean install of Catalina on my iMac (format drive and install). Everything went smoothly (I think) but the photos. See, I realized afterward that there was a lot of SD hard disk space taken up by photos. I resolved this before the...

I used MacPaw’s Gemini 2 software to remove about 10k duplicate photos and videos from my Apple Photos library. All originals are in the cloud, but I enabled the setting to store all originals locally as well. So, I downloaded all originals, ran the duplicate scan, deleted about 10k files, then...

Is it possible to connect my external hard drive to my iPad or iPhone to directly transfer media into Apple Photos? If so, will it detect duplicates?

Does Apple Photos do a pretty effective job of weeding out genuinely duplicate photos and videos? I’m trying to consolidate my entire media library into iCloud and I have a few hard drives with duplicate photos. I guess I just don’t want to delete any photos that aren’t duplicates, or add any...

If I understand it right, the revamped photos app is said to have machine learning that can detect similar photos and move some to the hidden folder? But under the photos tab > Years, when I scroll to the bottom, the progress bar seems stuck somewhere near a quarter. "leave device locked and...

Hi everyone, I've run into an issue with Apple Health that has been caused by a third party app (iHealth... connected with my smart scale). I use this app to collect data from my iHealth smart scale to Apple Health. A couple of weeks ago I had to reset my scale, uninstalled and reinstalled...

I'm running the latest System software. I noticed that nearly all of my contacts were triplicated. (But not all: I don't know why) I ran 'find duplicates'. And then Merge. After that, nearly of my contacts were duplicated. I went to the iCloud preference pane, and unchecked contacts. Duplicates...

Of my 30K photos I'm sure there are lots of duplicates that I could get rid of, but I'd very much like some help in finding them. I don't know which of the apps for finding these on a Mac work best in LR. Any advice?

Could somebody please shed some light on these matters... About 3-4 years ago my photos went berzerk. I'm not exactly sure, when it happened, but in any case I didn't have any appropriate hard drive backup with which I could have fixed this problem. I mean I had some, but they didn't help in...

Hi all. I released my utility app Disk Angel about a month ago but I'm finding it difficult to pick up any traction so decided to make it free for 24 hours or so in the hope that people will see that it's a good app and maybe even leave a review on the app store. It can be downloaded from...
