I can only delete photos one at a time. Why?

Why can't I delete multiple photos after they've been moved to trash? I can't empty the trash. If I put them into trash one at a time and empty it one at a time, it works.
There must be an easy trick to deleting lots of photos, all at once.
Help, anyone?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

I am trying adobe Photoshop and adobe illustrator because I can't decide which one to buy so I want to try both, after I downloaded Photoshop I can not see the option "free trial" for adobe Illustrator, it is because I can only free try one at the time??

Bryan,
You can download both at the same time.
But you may wish to start off with one and use it full time, then download the other later, so you get the maximum possible time with both.
If you have trouble getting the free trial on the Adobe site, you may try here or here:

I can only import bookmarks one at a time?

When I navigate to my favorites folder it only lets me select one at a time? I have hundreds to import. How can I do the whole folder??? Control/select & shift/select won't work to select the list.
My old computer was backed up online including favorites. I downloaded them onto the new computer but firefox won't let me select more than one at a time with either the import or restore functions.

Export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Can only choose attachments one at a time for webmail and for entries to an art organization website. And the site's "Upload File" button will not respond, so I can't even upload the one jpg I have chosen.

I am the only one who can't upload to the submissions page. Javascript is turned on, not java, with Safari 5.0.6 and Leopard. Thanks for helping.

Thanks for your response. I do have javascript turned on (not java). To answer your question,
I was trying to upload 3 jpgs to the submissions page of a visual arts website. I could only highlight one jpg at a time in the "Choose File" option, and then the "Upload File" button of the submissions page would not respond.
It's an ongoing problem with this site (I'm the only one with this issue and there are a lot of submissions). I have to send the images as email attachements to the administrator of the site. When doing this via webmail, I still the one attachment at a time problem, but the images get to the administrator. Thanks for helping.

With Firefox4 I no longer get the "Organize Bookmarks" option. I can only edit bookmarks one at a time with the "star" button

I still have the bookmarks list, the toolbar, and all of my old bookmarks, but the option to "Organize" them is not there.

The option is now called "Show All Bookmarks", and it opens the same window as before.
Took me a minute to figure that out.

I have over 2000 photos on my iPad2. I have backed them up to my PC. How can I delete most of these from my iPad without deleting them one at a time?

My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

for the photos: make sure you reboot the device so that the changes are taken into consideration.
For emails: log out of your email account, make sure the emails from that account have been deleted, then log back in, and go to the mall app, but open only the inbox. as long as you don't open your email folders, the phone won't download them.

Sharing a photo with iphoto 11 - you can only email to one person?

Hi all - just installed ilife 11 and have been playing around with the sharing within iphoto - but it appears you can only email to one person within iphoto!
Is this correct or am i missing something? All software up to date etc
as ever, many thanks

You can email to more than one person at a time. Sadly though, you are not able to email to groups.
The only way around this would be to use the Mac Mail application.
If for some reason you can only add one email and no more after that there may be an issue with iPhoto. Try fully quitting and restarting as mentioned. If the issue persists then i would try removing the Caches and .plist files, rebooting the computer and then testing again.
/Library/Caches
/System/Library/Caches
~Library/Caches (where '~' denotes your Home folder)
Drag those 3 to the trash and then;
~Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
Move that to the desktop and reboot. Test again and let us know how it looks.
Sincerely
JD

How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto. I thought Apple was the company that made things easier??? This is a nightmare.
The way it should work:
- Launch iPhoto
- Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
- Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
- Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
- Import all photos into iphoto
- Delete all photos per your suggestion
- Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer. (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

Can't delete photos from Iphone Photo Stream - Have tried everything Apple has instructed me

I am soooooooo frustrated. I just downloaded OS 5 on my Iphone 4 and bought Apple TV - and was introduced to what looked like the wonderful world of "iCloud" and Photostream. Particularly photo stream on my screen saver on my new Apple TV. I took numerous shots this weekend, most which I wanted to delete - with my Photo Stream on and all settings set on iCloud - my Iphone, and my PC.
For the life of me, I can not delete photos in my Iphone Photostream. I have done all you said Apple - go to iCloud - and "Reset PhotoStream..." (actually tried this about 10 times in the last 48 hours - and all I get is...
“Could Not Reset Your Photo Stream.
Your Photo Stream could not be reset at this time due to a server error. Try again later…”
I know I';m not alone on this as I have seen other postings/users with the similar complaint.
I have turned on and off - the on - the photostream on my Iphone - yes - it deletes the photos, but then when you turn it back on, they ALL come back - including the unwanted ones.
I even turned off - then back on- the photo stream on the iCloud DAshboard (because someone said to do it) and it still didn't work.
Then I plugged my Iphone in to the computer - to go into my Photos - and manually deleted the photos I didn't want. . I did delete them, as well as the unwanted photos in Photostream on my PC, but the freaking unwanted photos are still on my iphone - and wont' go away. It's like a virus that won't dissapear. I took pictures of this ugly cow at a pumpkin patch sticking it's tongue out at me, and I can't get rid of them!!!
We have long been fans/customers of Apple (we own 2 iphones, a Mac, and an IPad). And.. just so you know, in all the time I've been writing this, I've been on "hold" waiting for an Apple Tech support person (3rd call to them in 2 days) to pick up, and all I get now is a ringing phone w no one answering it... Click.
I read the other VERY frustrated users on this forum and I don't see one clear cut answer on how to fix these problems. Apple - at least you can recognize the problem, own up to it, and tell us that this will be fixed - which I sure it will be at some point. You have to get this together.
Steve is gone (god bless his soul and I thank him for all he has done) and my experiences with Apple now have turned horrible. And if any tech support person (and I know you guys are very nice and try the best you can) knows a thing or three on how to fix this, my case number is 252 894 095 and I would love to fix this issue. I think it has great potential but it clearly has bugs in it now.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

"WF-USER can only delete this entry" error while deleting entry in tRFC

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario wherein the outbound IDoc from our SAP system consists of lot of IDoc data segments. Becase if this large size, the EAI Middleware is getting out of memory exception while processing it before sending it to the receiving system with an error "Trnasaction XXXXXXXXX rolled back" (Committing is geting failed). And it is not possible from EAI Middleware side to increase the memory. Because of this, other outbound IDocs getting struck in the tRFC (IDoc status = 03, Data Passed to Port OK) queue and thereby delaying the process.
We would like to delete the entry (TID) of this particular IDoc from the tRFC queue. When we try to do taht, we are getting the error message "WF-BATCH can only delete this entry" which is actually the system Workflow user.
Could anyone suggest me the way to delete the entries? We hav one option where we can that system user name to our user name in "Debug Change'. Becasue of some authorozation problems, we would not be getting that.
Could you please suggest me about any alternative. Appriciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Kishore.

Hello Kishore,
I also encountered the same problem in transaction SWU2.
I could bypass the message in debuging mode only.
I put a breakpoint in report RSARFCRD, and, in debug mode, I skip the following check:
      if sy-lisel+1(12) <> sy-uname.
        message e019 with sy-lisel+1(12).
      endif.
Best Regards,
Alexandre.
