I have recently discovered that for some reason my Photos app has been issuing the same number for different photos. When I looked up the number of this first photo to see if I’d previously published it on my blog, I was surprised to see that although I hadn’t, I had published two other photos by the same number. They were so varied that I decided when I find such oddities, I’m going to publish the various photos. So here, folks, are photos # 6212!!! Could they be more different? Well, actually, the photo of Zoe curled up in a box the day after she popped up in my life does looks a bit like the orange curled up in its exploded skin, but don’t know what that snowy egret is doing in the bunch.

She could fit in the palm of my hand. So adorable. Well, she lapped over some, but nonetheless she fit there.

Honestly, I don’t even know where my pictures go to anymore. I suppose icloud but I don’t know how to find them. Lol.

I am buying a 2 terrbyte computer so I can keep them all on my computer. I’ll back them up in the cloud, but want to have them respond faster than they’ve been doing lately.

Zoe was so cute and small. I rename all of my photos so they are easy to find

I’ve started to do that, too, Brian, but haven’t the time to rename 150,000 of them.

your photos don’t have numbers when you save them in your photo application?

Not that I have noticed. They are linked to whatever post they are in, but that’s it. But their photo library is pretty weird.

This is ALL the information. Maybe it’s because I give file names to all my pictures. I could never find them otherwise.

Wonderful images and intriguing post, Judy. I discovered the same problem with image numbers two years ago. In my case, I believe it resulted from my Canon’s date/time not being updated and out of such with the computer and also the fact that the numbers being assigned needed an extra value because I have taken so many e.g. 10001 vs 100001. Things were being overwritten and lost. Fortunately I have the originals of every single digital card used, so I can recover them all – in my next lifetime because life is too short to resolve it in this lifetime lol. Even my 3 huge external drives were affected by the duplicated numbers and lost images. I thought I was losing my mind. Good luck to you and everyone else with this issue!

Yes.. I’m approaching 100,500 and have used 5 different cameras, so perhaps that is why the duplication.
