Mar 22, 2015 12:27 PM in response to endoman67by Terence Devlin,★HelpfulPeople have dealt with this in two main ways
1. make sure you've have the camera app open on the phone when you connect
or
2. Connect the phone. When the duplicates appear, disconnect it and reconnect it again

Mar 24, 2015 7:55 AM in response to léonieby Marimon8,I have exact same problem!!!
Every time I plug my iPhone to the computer it downloads every single photo, at least, double. And afterwards I have to delet them manually, which its a pain because it takes me like 2hs every time!!!
Please, what to do???

Mar 24, 2015 8:53 AM in response to Marimon8by léonie,Have you tried the solutions above, that TD mentioned? Open the Camera.app before connecting the iPhone, to prevent the Photo Stream photos from being show, or disconnecting the iPhone again, when duplicates appear?
If that does not solve it, you may have HDR enabled. Then all or many photos will show twice, once the HDR versioning once the normal JPEG, if you have the option enabled "Keep normal version" in your Photos.app.

Mar 24, 2015 10:36 AM in response to léonieby Marimon8,Yeah, I have tried everything possible. I went through all my settings and I ended up downloading "Photo Sweeper", so far its working very good. However I would much rather not having to use it every time honestly...!

Mar 24, 2015 10:45 AM in response to Marimon8by LarryHN,I have tried everything possible.
In that case the only answer is that it is impossible to resolve since there are no more possibilities to try

Apr 7, 2015 7:51 PM in response to Terence Devlinby charlie_ve,following your advice I did this and worked:
1. connect iphone
2. open itunes and select iphone on the left tab (shows all photos twice= duplicate problem)
3. open the camera app on the iphone
4. unplug the usb cable without hesitation
5. leaving the camera app open plug back the iphone into your computer using the usb cable.
6. iphoto now shows only one image for each photo that needs to be imported (problem solved)

Apr 8, 2015 8:28 AM in response to Marimon8by Caitlinem,The solution of plugging the phone in and having iPhoto open, then don't start to import the pics, just unplug the phone, then plug it in again. The duplicates are gone. Yes, we shouldn't have to do this, but it works! And it's much less painful then having to go through and weed out the duplicates on our own!

Apr 8, 2015 10:42 AM in response to pontixby elbenoit,I have this annoying problem too.
I use Photostream so most of my photos have already been imported to the Mac by the time I plug my phone in.
I mainly plug in to import movies, which are all duplicated on import.
Has anyone tried the new Photos app to see if this is fixed there?

May 27, 2015 4:30 PM in response to pontixby Cristal.J,I FIXED IT!
1 Open Iphoto
2 Click Preferences
3 Click Advanced
4 and then unclick where it says (Importing: Copy items to the Iphoto Library)
THAT WILL FIX YOUR PROBLEM!

May 27, 2015 10:29 PM in response to Cristal.Jby Terence Devlin,Not sure what problem you're trying to fix here, but that's not a fix for the issue in this thread. It can also lead to dataloss, so you really need to explain to people that, should they use your suggestion, they need to entirely rethink how they manage their photos. I cannot stress this enough. Simply unchecking that box without re-working your entire way of using iPhoto will lead to significan t dataloss.

That will add an even bigger problem. If you really did this, fix it by consolidating your library.
