How do I totally delete photos from iPhoto to stop them playing in sldieshow?

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and transferred it to my HDTV via a memory stick.  I have successfully manipluated the dates and titles so that it plays in the proper order, BUT it also transfers and tries to play deleted photos - shows them as a black page saying file not available.  How do I find these files and totally delete them from iPhoto?  Or stop them transferring to the memory stick?

This may be because the files you've exportd have a resource fork, and the formatting of the flash memory can't cope with it. It sees the resource fork as a second file.

  • How do I permanently delete photos from IPHOTO??

    I have tried everything and it never actually clears any space.
    I always get some message like"the photos will still be visible"
    Please help me out, as this is VERY unintuitive...

    The fastest way to delete them was in the finder -
    It’s also the utterly incorrect way, the wrong way, the way to corrupt your Library way, the way to cause “blank thumbnails“ way.
    To remove pics from iPhoto put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it - iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash.
    How do i update the database to just show the photos and thumbs that are still there?
    You can’t.
    I am trying to keep his original iphoto folder structure intact, so we can load it back on his machine when he gets a new one.
    Too late, unless you’ve still got his original Library, it’s gone. You threw it away.
    What exactly did you do? Import his Library to your own?
    If you wanted to preserve his library all you had to do was copy the iPhoto Library Folder to your machine. That’s all. No importing involved.
    Recovering the pics now really depends on what you threw away. There’s a good chance you’ve tossed the actual files and kept the thumbnails. Here’s hoping you didn’t.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • How can I permantely delete photos from iPhoto in order to free up space on my MacBook Air?

    I am trying to delete photos (which I have backed up on an external drive) from my MacBook Air in order to free up storage space.  When I simply drag the photos into the trash and empty, I see no difference in the amount of storage.  I also read somewhere that they are also stored in iPhoto, so I have tried to delete them in small batches, only to return to the trash bin and find that the remaining (undeleted) ones are missing.  What's going on with this?
    I have a MacBook Air (late 2010)

    Are you aware that iPhoto has its own trash area?  Find it on the left sidebar.  Go there and empty the iPhoto trash.

  • How do I retrieve deleted photos from iPhoto?

    Last night I accidentally deleted my photos in iPhoto entirely because it was in my pictures file that I thought we backed up entirely. Is there a utility to find and retrieve them?

    Did you select Empty iPhoto Trash (under the iPhoto menu?)

  • Can I delete photos from iPhoto after importing them to an external hard drive?

    For a while my family has been experiencing extreme slowness on our early 2008 iMac running OS X Lion.  We tried many different ways to speed it up.  I recently bought a new external hard-drive and was going to put some of our media on the hard-drive.  Is it possible that I would be able to put my photos, videos, and music onto the hard-drive and delete them from my Mac to possibly speed it up.  Also is there is any other possible way to speed it up?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How do I totally permanently DELETE photos from iPhoto?

    How do I totally permanently DELETE photos from iPhoto?

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • I delete photos from iPhoto but after backing up my computer they are back! How do I stop that?

    I delete photos from iPhoto but when I back up my computer the library rebuilds them!

    After I do a backup it rebuilds the iPhoto.
    How do you back up and what is the "it" that rebuilds iphoto? Do you mean this process of arching/deleting? It may have damaged your Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
    Going forward: another way of archiving:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Deleting photos from iPhoto trash crashes iPhoto

    I've been a bit remiss in deleting photos from iPhoto trash and now when I attempt to delete the 6379 photos in there it crashes iPhoto.  I have tried the right click on the trash in the left menu bar and also the "iPhoto" > Empty Trash.  How can I get rid of these photos?

    This will happen if you try and delete that many shots from iphoto at one go. We generally recommend that you empty the trash in batches of 100 or so at a time.

  • How do I retrieve my photos from iPhoto after Yosemite 10.10.3 update on my Macbook Pro?

    I have a MacBook Pro and just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    I noticed I had the Photos icon that the same as on my iPhone was on the dock where my iPhoto icon was.  How do I get my photos from iPhoto?
    Thank you in advance!

    Apple does not sell iPhoto any more at the App Store.
    But you should be able to reinstall from the Purchased tab of the AppStore, if iPhoto is showing among your purchases. You may need to unhide your purchases.  Also try the "Updates" tab at the App Store.
    See this post by Tom Perkins:
    Re: how do i sort albums by date in the new photos app?
    I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases.  Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto.  Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

  • Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • If I delete photos from iPhoto on my ipad can I reimport them to my ipad from iTunes

    If I want to delete photos from iPhoto, and I have transferred them to iTunes by exporting them.  How do I delete them from the iTunes cache so I can export new photos from iPhoto?

    Let me answer your question this way.... If you import photos from your iPad to your computer, and then delete them from the iPad, you will be able to transfer them back to the iPad by syncing them using iTunes, or by using a WiFi Photo Transfer app.
    As long as the photos are moved to your computer for storage, you can safely delete them from the iPad.
