Can't delete photos due to open in dynamiclinkmediaserver

Lightroom 4 seems to run dynamiclinkmediaserver process, which touches all my videos in LR4. When I try to delete, I'm not able to because they are in use by this process. When I kill the process though, of course I lose the ability to work with video in LR4.
Is this a temporary issue, or a bug?

Hmm, so the same things happens in Develop Mode for photos... And I've just figured out that in Develop Mode, I'm able to delete the videos.
So in order to delete videos, I have to be in Develop Mode, but for photos, I have to be in Library.

  • After loading my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhotos it prompts me to delete photos from my iPhone.  When I agree to this my photos never delete.  my iPhone is out of storage due to I can't delete photos.  What am I doing wrong?

    After loading my photos from my iphone to my mac iphoto it gives me the option to delete photos on my phone.  When I click to delete the photos do not delete from my phone.  I am out of storage due to I can not delete photos from my iphone.

    That problem is probably with your iPhone and not with iPhoto.
    But try to download again to your Mac, this time use "Image Capture" instead of iPhoto.
    Launch Image Capture from your applications folder.
    Connect your phone to a USB port.
    Select all the photos in your camera roll  to be deleted.
    Then press the "delete" key.
    If there are photos on your iPhone that have been synced with iTunes, they can only be deleted by syncing again and deselecting the albums:

    If even Image Capture cannot wipe your Camera Roll, you need to trouble shoot your iPhone. Try the three R's, reset, restart, restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • 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.

  • Can I delete photos app and start again? How?

    Ok, I've been really daft and did not ever know that there was a photo trash can in iPhoto. So for years in iPhoto I've been deleting or rather just removing photos and not thinking much of it.
    Just did my mac updates and notice I now have Photo. Open up and wow I now have 100s of photos that I thought I had deleted, some years ago.
    With over 16,000 photos in total this is not a job I want to go through sifting and deleting the rubbish again. 
    I opened my time machine but can't work out how to go back. Is there any way of wiping photo and then starting again? It didn't ask me about importing or merging from iPhoto it seemed to have done it on its own. If the photos are still in iPhoto can I delete photo and reinstall after fixing the issue in iPhoto?
    Afraid to do something and mess it up further and so looking for advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing!
    Thank you!

    You can't delete the Photos app as it's part of the system.  You can continue to use iPhoto and your iPhoto library.  The iPhoto app is still in the Applications folder. If it's iPhoto 9.6.1 it will work with 10.10.3. If it's not try getting 9.6.1 from the App Store following Terence Devlin's instructions below:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Regarding the "deleted" photos did you systematically empty the iPhoto Trash bin each time you delete photos?

  • I can't delete photos from my ipad

    I Can't delete photos from my iPad it's like the delete key is not active Does anyone know how to fix this

    I can't seem to delete ANY photos or videos from my iPad NO MATTER what I try. And they take up 4.9GB!!! There is NO WAY in **** I have that many phgotos or videos on my iPad -- when I actually go to look at the photos/videos tere are maybe 100 photos and maybe ten videos. How can that take up FIVE GB of space????
    And when I go to General>Usage>Photos and Cameras my Camera Roll, Photo Library and Photo Booth are all greyed out. I can't do ANYTHING with them.
    I have no idea what's going on. I go onto my laptop and open iTunes with the iPad connected -- no hekp at all. I just want to REMOVE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS -- such as theye are, and I STILL can't believe there are almost 5GB's worth of them -- without going through all these insane hoops!!!
    There should just be a simple delete button! But when I do anything in iTunes to "restore" my iPad it warns me that I migfht have to PURCHASE ALL THE APPS I HAVE AGAIN!
    This is so Windows-like I can scarcely believe it's coming from Apple. I've been to a dozen "help' pages BUT NONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SIMPLE ANSWER -- HOW DO I ERASE ALL THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM MY IPAD??????????????

  • Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Those are photos that were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, and they can only be removed by syncing them off.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and uncheck the photos you want to remove, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  If you want to remove them all, uncheck Sync Photos.  If you only want to remove some of them, remove them from the folder that you are syncing your photos from.

  • How can I delete photos from my phone

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

    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??

  • HT201302 i can not delete photos from photo library from my iPhone 4

    thnx

    Delete them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.  Deselectg the album in itunes and sync.
    Photo Album contains ALL synced photos and you can also view those exact same photos, not duplicates, from the albums.

  • FAQ: Can I delete photos that were added to GroupPix?

    FAQ: Can I delete photos that were added to GroupPix?
    Answer:
    Yes, the person that added a photo can also delete it. Additionally, the host of the event can delete any photo. Contributors cannot delete photos that other people took, however.

    In the same way the photos were transferred from your Mac - via the iTunes sync process.
    If you use iPhoto, deselect the Events or Albums you want removed from your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, etc.

  • I installed PSE13 yesterday and can't get photo editor to open.

    I installed PSE 13 yesterday and can't get photo editor to open.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    If a windows system, use Windows Explorer to find the following file.
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Try double clicking on it to run the editor directly rather than using the Welcome screen.

    how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.
