iOS 7, duplicated photos

Same issue, iPhone 5, as soon as I updated to ios7 it screwed up my photos. Seems to occur when I Sync??? Would have thought Apple would be all over this one????

Sure does occur when I sync. If I choose to delete pictures on iPhone after import into iPhoto the problem goes away. It may be doubling up what is in the camera roll. Delete pics in the camera roll and the problem goes away for me

I am experiencing the same problem. iPhone 5, updated to iOS7 and found duplicates of SOME photos, not all.

Same happened with music (Match is ON): duplicates everywhere on the iPhone...

Brought new iPhone 5S: duplicates appeared there too. Both photos AND music.

Haven't checked the iPad yet...

Will work on it and if I find a solution will post it here

I have found that any photos taken after iOS7 aren't duplicated so it seems it only applies to pre iOS7 photos..... in my case at least.

I'm having this same annoying problem and now they tell me that the Cloud is almost full and I need to purchase more space or I won't be able to back up my devices or use my iCloud email. Really Apple, you are better than this...PLEASE FIX.

Adding my voice to the mix and will stay notified on a fix.

I turned off all syncing of photos in iTunes to hopefully delete my iPhone 5S photos and start fresh. It only deleted the duplicates and not the originals. Now when I try to sync, it will duplicate all photos on my iPhone and suck up all the GB storage. I cannot get rid of the photos on my iPhone 5S. I'm baffled.

When I click on 'Albums', I see 0 in Camera Roll but hundreds in My Photo Stream. These are the photos that seem to be duplicated. I'm not sure I want to delete my Photo Stream because it will delete it from all devices.

This is absoloutely pathetic, I love Apple. I have an iPad, iPod, Apple Tv, Mac Book Pro and a developer license. APPLE FIX THE BLOODY ISSUE. My storage is being eaten up because photos are duplicated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE somebody bloody read all the people having the same issue and give us a resolution.

Do we have to get like a government pettition or something to get this looked at or given a high priority? Do I have to pay or sacrafice a rock bathed in the pale moonlight? I don't care, i'll sell give my left arm, just FIX IT.....

My iPad is also running ios7 same everything and doesn't have the duplicates, only my iPhone. So clearly something is wrong or setup differently because it's not affecting the iPad the way it is the iPhone.

Please.

There is a fix out there -- its actually just a setting and somebody mentioned it several comments earlier: The HDR setting default on your phone is saving two photos-- one regular and one HDR. These look like they are the same but they arent apparently. On your phone, go to Settings, then go to Photo & Camera, then scroll to bottom where it says HDR . There you will see that "Keep Normal Photo" is slid to green (on). Slide it over and no more duplicates... I was going crazy too, so I am happy now.

There is an applicatin that takes care of this but I'm not allowed to mention it here since I'm the developer. So I guess that if you are interested in it then you'll just have to google for it.

Thanks for the thought - it's actually a helpful suggestion on another topic - but unfortunately it's not related to the duplicate views of all the older photos pre-HDR feature.

I actually think this glitch could be a 'feature' related to the new Photo Streaming enhancement on all devices but I haven't played enough with it yet to confirm that. Greg

I'm sorry, but the camera roll is not the culprit here. I'm always deleting everything from my Carea Roll on import, then sort photos into events in iPhoto and sync back the last 6 months of events to my iPhone. Events don't have duplicates, only in the "Moments" view some of them are double some are not. It's very random and also changes after each sync.

I'm also seeing duplicate photos (from before and after iOS 7 update) on my iPad, where I never take photos, only import them.

To me it really looks like a software bug, where iOS sometimes doesn't identify photos from "Photo Stream" (?) to be the ones already in the library. I could easily test that by deleting everything from my photo stream, but I'm not sure if I could re-populate it then afterwards so I'm a bit reluctant here.

This is the way I got to work around it.

Photos still save in Photo Stream and Camera Roll.

I am guessing its a bug with the HDR feature.

It can't be HDR as I don't use that feature. It duplicating the photo stream pictures. Any photos taken with iOS7 are not a problem so it's only older pictures that are the issue. Well that's how it looks on mine.

Uh oh all change.... Now my post iOS7 pictures are being duplicated do there goes my theory!!!

Basically it's showing Photostream pictures in 'moments' when it shouldn't.
