Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.

HT1420 if I deauthorize all of my computers can I then add back on the ones I want to without losing any of my music

If I deauthorize all of my computers can I re-authorize all of the computers I want without losing music, etc, I've downloaded

Yes.
Deauthorizing all computers will simply require all computers to log into the iTunes store with this account before making a purchase.
It will not delete anything on any computer nor will it prevent anything from playing on any computer.

I have an IMac. I put a folder on the desk top and now want to delete it. The folder seems to be locked. I went into Get Info and attemted to unlock the folder and delete it. Won't go away. There is nothing in the folder. How do I unlock this folder and delete it? When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder. Any help would be great.

If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app. That will dispose of it.

Can I delete an e-mail account and reinstall it without losing all my old messages, folders, address lists etc?

I can no longer send from email from my account and keep getting the message that the connection to the smtp server was lost or the settings are wrong.
I would like to reinstall the account to make sure that the servers settings are correct, but I fear that I might lose years of messages that I have saved in my folder system as well as my address books, hence the question.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to reset the server settings so that Thunderbird will work with Rogers Yahoo mail?
Thanks for any help you might provide.

Two ways you can do it
If your not Removing the Thunderbird try this '''First Method'''
*Copy the entire mail and address to local folder and local address

Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite. I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc. I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking. I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them. I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated. I use them with TM for backup. Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage? I am confused about backup not preserving my photos. Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access. Thanks a bunch!

connie,
I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives. One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos, and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.
Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?
You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) . See this link: iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

Can I set up I Cloud and change my mind without losing any data or photos?

I have the Iphone, Ipad2 , and Macbook Pro and want to set up ICloud. I read a post that said, should you decide to NOT use it, you will lose all of your data and photos. Is this true?

I set up an iCloud account and only use it for certain things. I do not use it on my Mac, even though I can, but I have chosen not to do so. I sync bookmarks, reminders, app data and documents (for Pages) but I did not setup an email account nor do I use Photo Stream. You can pick and choose what to want to sync to iCloud.

Try restoring from your backup of a day or so prior to when you made the error.

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

How can I delete photos in the "Edited" album in the iPhoto app on my iPad??

How can I delete photos in the "Edited" folder in the iPhoto App on my iPad?

What a pain...you must go through all that to remove it?! So many unessary steps!
I also find that when I sync up a new photo folder to replace the old set that I previously wiped out and replaced it staggers afew pictures from before in with the new and will not show all of the new....so frustrating!!! I even close out iPhoto and go into the photo album and all the photos that synced up which are the ones I do want are all there....it's so different than what I see the album in iPhoto. Why Apple WHY??

Rman-08137 can't delete archivelog because the capture process need it

When I use the rman utility to delete the old archivelog on the server ,It shows :Rman-08137 can't delete archivelog because the capture process need it .how to resolve the problem?

It is likely that the "extract" process still requires those archive logs, as it is monitoring transactions that have not yet been "captured" and written out to a GoldenGate trail.
Consider the case of doing the following: ggsci> add extract foo, tranlog, begin now
After pressing "return" on that "add extract" command, any new transactions will be monitored by GoldenGate. Even if you never start extract foo, the GoldenGate + rman integration will keep those logs around. Note that this GG+rman integration is a relatively new feature, as of GG 11.1.1.1 => if "add extract foo" prints out "extract is registered", then you have this functionality.
Another common "problem" is deleting "extract foo", but forgetting to "unregister" it. For example, to properly "delete" a registered "extract", one has to run "dblogin" first:
ggsci> dblogin userid <userid> password <password>
ggsci> delete extract foo
However, if you just do the following, the extract is deleted, but not unregistered. Only a warning is printed.
ggsci> delete extract foo
<warning: to unregister, run the command "unregister...">
So then one just has to follow the instructions in the warning:
ggsci> dblogin ...
ggsci> unregister extract foo logretention
But what if you didn't know the name of the old extracts, or were not even aware if there were any existing registered extracts? You can run the following to find out if any exist:
sqlplus> select count(*) from dba_capture;
The actual extract name is not exactly available, but it can be inferred:
sqlplus> select capture_name, capture_user from dba_capture;
<blockquote>
CAPTURE_NAME CAPTURE_USER
================ ==================
OGG$_EORADF4026B1 GGS
</blockquote>
In the above case, my actual "capture" process was called "eora". All OGG processes will be prefixed by OGG in the "capture_name" field.
Btw, you can disable this "logretention" feature by adding in a tranlog option in the param file,
TRANLOGOPTIONS LOGRETENTION DISABLED
Or just manually "unregister" the extract. (Not doing a "dblogin" before "add extract" should also work in theory... but it doesn't. The extract is still registered after startup. Not sure if that's a bug or a feature.)
Cheers,
-Michael

HT4914 If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it??

If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it? I recently got an iPad so I now use that as my main source as opposed to my Dell. Yes, I have a Dell that failed me. Miserably.

Sync your music from your computer to your iPad. Then delete the music from your iPhone.

If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

If I convert PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

Hi sutterrot,
After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.
