[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 985668, member: 56231"] OMG - photos secretly reproducing inside iPhoto overnight. Disgraceful! ;D Firstly, welcome to the Forums! You can multi-select photos you wish to remove from iPhoto by clicking on the little film roll symbol just above each section of photos, then R-click on any one of those selected and choose Move to Trash (or go to Photos in Menu bar and do same). Yes, it's still time-consuming, but it's pretty quick. Why you cannot delete the photos from Trash is puzzling. I take it you mean Trash in iPhoto, not the OS Trash. Clarify please. In the process of migrating material from old -> new there may have been some file fragmentation. It's not a major problem in OS X, but you can probably help to tidy things by repairing Permissions with Onyx [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english/apps.html]Titanium Software[/url]. There is a third-party application called Duplicate Image Detector [url]http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20188/duplicate-image-detector[/url] which may help you find those pesky reproductions and remove them Post back on what progress you might make. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
