Deleted photos not deleted from hard drive

I have deleted photos from Lightroom 4 by choosing the 'remove from disk' option. I never want to see them again so want them to go into the iMac Trash. However they are still in the folder where the original RAW files are on my desktop. Am I doing something wrong or does the delete process take a while to complete?
Thanks

There is no "Remove from disk" option.
If you click Remove, the files are removed from your LR catalog. If you click Delete from Disk, they are sent to the recycling bin/trash can - provided the disk has one and you have premission to use it.

  • Deleting unwanted web images from hard drive

    I discussed with a friend that my computer got up to 70 GB full, and even when I took most of my photos off it, the memory did not increase much. He told me I needed to delete all the unwanted web images which I would have been downloading over the last few years. Could someone please tell me how to do this. Thank you

    Hello Annabel,
    You can empty your web browser's cache. This will delete a lot of accumulated stuff from visited sites.
    If you are using Safari, from the top menu bar under Safari you should see this option. ( This could vary depending on which version of browser you are using but you get the idea I hope.)
    As to your deleting photos, note that after you delete photos etc, you need to _empty the trash_ to recover that disk space again.
    If you delete photos from within iPhoto, these images are held in the iPhoto application and the trash has to be deleted from within there to recover the space, rather than Finder.

  • Photo Connect - delete w/o removing from hard drive

    How do I remove jpg files from connected photo without removing them from my hard drive?
    Thanks

    Hello etu,
    I do not use Connected Photo but according to the manual, the only way to remove an image off the Connected Photo viewer is to delete the photo. It looks like it has very limited customization ability.

    It looks like it acts a Browser for your User files and does not create a virtual catalog to the files. IF it did, you could remove the reference without deleting the file like you can in Adobe Lightroom.
    I do not know if it is programed to only search certain folders or if it scans the entire drive.
    Have you tried moving those unwanted images to a different folder not in the My Photos folder to see if it releases the view of that image? That is, create a new folder named something else besides Photos and put it outside the main User folders of My Photos, My Documents, My Videos, etc.
    Do let me know if this works, otherwise it does not look like there is anything else you can do.
    Thanks.

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.
    Ciao.

  • Importing photos into iPhoto from Hard Drive

    Mike just downloaded our back up onto our newish Mac after our Macbook bravely went to it's grave in coffee.    I'm now trying to import about 100 - 200G of photos into iPhoto from my hard drive.  I really do not want to spend the whole time selecting and dragging these pictures.  All that I read so far says that is the only way to get them off your hard drive.  Some one please rescue me and tell me there is another way!  Unfortunately I have already started a new photo album with pictures from my iPhone, so I can't just start a new album with these pics.  Thanks for any help I can get. ~Kari A.

    first off do not import an old library into iPhoto - it does not work
    If you have an old library you simply drag it to the new computer and launch iPhoto while depressing the option key to get the select library window and then select it - repeat to select a different library
    If you have just the photos (not =an iPhoto library) then simply drag the folder of photos to iPhoto

  • Variety of problems- not reading from hard drive, etc.

    My 30 GB iPod Photo died a while ago, so I recently received an 80 GB 5G for the holidays. However, it hasn't been working correctly. I have a whole list of problems- most would seem to stem from it not reading from the hard drive. Note that almost every single one of these can be resolved by resetting the iPod, but having to do that over and over and losing my place in podcasts and that sort of thing is really annoying. I already tried restoring it completely once, and it didn't seem to help. What's odd is that, shortly after getting the iPod, I went on vacation for almost a week, in a warmer climate. It worked perfectly fine the entire time I was there, but then started up again upon my return.
    - The classic just not playing songs/videos, where you select a song and the artwork doesn't load and it doesn't play then just ends. Sometimes accompanied by freezing.
    - Skipping. I've never heard an iPod skip before, but it's happened several times. Also, I've had a weirder problem where a second or so of sound from earlier in a podcast repeats every so often during the rest of it. Just turning the iPod off and on again helps with that, though. And sometimes something will randomly stop in the middle.
    - Not recognizing data. My old iPod did this all the time. You reset it, and there are no songs, videos, etc. listed. If you connect it to the computer, iTunes classifies all the data as "other." It generally goes away if you reset it again. This has also happened partially, where some things show up but not others.
    - Sometimes, during a video, the audio will suddenly become a horrible screeching sound. You can stop the video and try to play something else, but then it freezes. The video might work perfectly fine later- that's not the problem.
    - Slow functioning. This might be normal- things like the graphics "skipping" while both listening to something and playing a game. Or sometimes it just seems generally sluggish to respond.
    - Not working with the case. I have this case (I had almost the same one for my last iPod), and all the above problems occur mostly (though not entirely) while the iPod is inside. I doubt the case itself is the problem- I can't see any way it would be preventing things like reading from the HD- but they definitely seem to be tied together. Sometimes when it's in the case the controls will take several seconds to respond to button pushes (play/pause, select, etc.) but respond perfectly fine to scrolling/volume change.
    I think I've pretty much exhausted my options for trying to fix things myself. Should I just send it back and hope the replacement is better? Will Apple even agree to replace it if they can't see it malfunctioning?

    Also, though no one's replied yet, I remembered more problems:
    - Displaying the wrong album art (only occasionally).
    - Colors FREAKING OUT when viewing photos. The way to get rid of this seems to be to go back to the photo library, select a different photo (which hopefully loads correctly), going back up to the photo library again, and reselecting the original photo. But it's still annoying.

  • Power Mac G4 400 MHz (AGP graphics) will not boot from hard drive

    I have a Mac G4 400 MHz (AGP graphics) Machine Model: PowerMac 3.1 CPU Type:PowerPC G4 (2.8)
    When I try to boot from the hard drive I get the folder with the flashing question Mark. The Machine will start up from the OSX 10.4 installer disk.
    The system was running OSX 10.4.9 fine. I began to have problems with the hard drive, so I replaced it with an old Maxtor 5T040H4 40Gig Apple branded drive that I had sitting around.
    The drive is jumpered (r50) for Master/Single.
    I erased the drive in the old G4 using disk utility and wrote all zeros. I then used my store bought Tiger 10.4 install disk to install 10.4 on the drive.
    After restarting I still get the flashing question mark. If I leave the Install disk in the DVD drive the system will attempt to install again.
    I have zapped the PRAM, pressed the CUDA button, removed the battery and let the system sit unplugged for over and hour and it still will not boot from the hard drive.
    To test the drive I removed it and put it in a Granite Digital firewire enclosure and connected it to another mac. The drive shows up and the system appears to be installed correctly.
    What am I forgetting to do? Does anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Wesley G.

    Hi! If Tom's solution doesn't work I would reboot from the install disc and then partition the drive as 1 partition instead of erasing it. Sounds like the driver on the disk is too old and installing a new partition map should write a new driver to the drive that is compatible with Tiger. Other than that it is possible that the drive has a spin delay jumper enabled and the drive isn't spinning up fast enough and the computer isn't looking long enough for the drive. Tom

  • After 10.5 upgrade Mac will not boot from hard drive

    I just upgraded to 10.5 Leopard but my mac will not boot from the hard drive even after selecting my hard drive as the startup disk. The mac will start to boot but will cut itself off before the boot is complete. I have to leave the Leopard disk in the mac and hold down C to get the mac to turn on but it only allows me to install the software again.

    instead of archive and install you might first want to try restoring your system using TM to some time point before your failed 10.5.1 upgrade. Then try upgrading to 10.5.1 again. I would suggest downloading the full 110 MB upgrade and installing it manually rather than doing it through the software upgrade menu.
    You can download the upgrade here:

  • Can I delete photo to create more hard drive space as I just backed them to the iCloud ? Thanks

    I just purchased 20gb of iCloud to create more space on my iPad. Is it safe to delete my photos from the hair drive now? Once deleted how can I view them from the iCloud
    Many Thanks

    You should transfer your photos to the laptop/computer or upload them to cloud storage like Dropbox, Box.net or Sugarsync.

  • Photo files disapearing from hard Drive while using Lighroom not relink issue, any ideas?

    I've been using Lightroom and while using it files have been disappearing, I understand how to relink the files, it's not that.
    The file folders are showing up but the files are missing. Not all files are affected. They haven't been in my trash.
    Seagate have sent me a 'What a shame, it's not our fault email' Won't be buying any more of their products. They say it's a lightroom / Mac OS problem.
    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files? If they've had the same problem? Thank you.

    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files?
    Restore from your backup copies
    Download and install an "undelete utility" (there are free ones available) and see if it can recover the files

  • Mac will not boot from hard drive or install disc

    Hello All
    In dire need of advise...my intel Mac will not boot, even tried booting to the Snow Leopard install disc and all I'm getting is the white screen, apple logo and the wheel.
    Just before this happened there was a buzzing sound like the fan was about to fail but that is only a guess on my part. Is there a keyboard shortcut to boot to a terminal window or similar to force the computer to boot from the install disc.
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.
    Warren

    Hi Warren
    Try holding the Option key and see if it will boot into Startup Manager, where you should be able to choose from a good Drive or your install Disk.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533
    or the D key and run the Apple Hardware Test.

  • Bronze keyboard Will not start from hard drive

    This computer (333 Mhz Lombard 192MB ram) has a 40GB seagate HD recently installed, It has Mac OS 10 on it and 9.2.1. I've run multiple tests on it using Apples Mac Test pro and all the tests have passed. It starts readily from the CD I have also recently replaced the battery and pram battery. All i get from the computer at start up is the flashing ? mark blinking system folder. I've reset the pram and power manager, not sure whats wrong. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

    The blinking ? means the Mac can't find a valid startup system.
    Look at A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042
    Are you trying to start up in OS 10 or OS 9? If OS 10, depress the Option key at startup which opens to the Startup Manager window. Then select the OS 9 icon & click the right arrow. If OS 9, do the same but select OS 10.

  • Can not boot from Hard Drive and or CD

    Hi
    I have a SUN Blade 1000. I loaded Solaris 10 a few days ago
    and had it running pretty good until I ran an update program.
    Now I cannot boot the dam thing. IT just hangs at a * prompt somwhere in the boot process.
    I would like to re load Saolaris 10 but do not have a clue how to
    make the machine boot from the CDROM if I cannot get to the OK prompt and I cannot get to ANY prompt that will let me get ANYwhere for that mater.
    Is there some key or combination of keys I could push or something to get this dam thing to boot from the CDROM so I can start over???
    Thank you in advance.
    I have almost no experiance with SUN Solaris on SPARC or any other platform.
    I know Windows and x86 hardware very well and have built many machines.
    Is there a way to get into the Bios at boot time like with an x86 system? The last question is not as important as the first one of how do I boot this pig from the CD.
    Thanks
    Jim

    How did you begin the previous installation?
    Have you spent any time reading these forums?
    Use the forum search function, keywords ...

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,
