[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1523052"] First off, well done to you for accomplishing so much! There's a program called Gemini II that sorts out duplicates of all kinds, but for iTunes in particular it has a built-in duplicate detector (under the "View" menu). By picking what criteria you'd like to see in the columns (such as bit rate or file format, also controlled in the View menu), you can easily pick the "better quality" file. Here's the "trick" to iPhoto: don't do **anything** to the photos except **within** iPhoto. Because people tend to accidentally toss/delete pictures they intended to keep, Apple has resorted to a "hidden vault" approach with iPhoto, and this means that if there's something you want to do to a picture, no matter what it is, the process starts and ends IN IPHOTO. Never EVER in Finder or anyplace else. Get a nice little word processor for the iPad (and a keyboard if possible) and scratch out the text of your entries there (or on the Mac and then transfer them to the iPad later). You can always then throw em into Blogger when you have a connection and fancy em up. [/QUOTE]
