Can't delete Untitled Event in iPhoto '09

In my iPhoto Library under Photos I have 2 Untitled Events. I renamed them Untitled 1 and Untitled 2. Neither contains any photos and when you go to Events neither of them is showing there. The problem is it won't allow me to deleted these 2 Untitled events. Right-clicking and the "Move to Trash" option is grayed out and CMD+Delete doesn't work either. Help?

Got it. These 2 events previously had pictures downloaded off my camera on different dates. Some pics got moved to other folders while some pics got deleted. I went into the iPhoto trash bin and emptied it...both Untitled Events disappeared!

How to delete untitled events on iPhoto?

Basically, I've accidentally put my pictures into untitled events. I've deleted all of the pictures (thinking that'd make the untitled events go away but it hasn't) so now I just have about 35 untitled events stuck in my iPhoto. I've tried deleting them but they don't seem to be going! What can I do?!

If you have emptied out the Library, just trash it and make a new one.

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

IPhoto question-I NEVER look at my events, and I keep running our of space can I delete the "Events" of my IPhoto?

No, you can't delete all your events. You could merge them all together so you'd have just one, but doing so would hardly save any space, just as putting all your documents in a single folder would hardly save any space. It's the documents and photos themselves, not the containers and subcontainers in which they are organized, that really take up space.
If you have additional iPhoto questions, I suggest posting them in the iPhoto forum where the real gurus hang out.

How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
1T Hard Drive in reg slot
16 GB Ram
Mavericks 10.9.4
iphoto 9.5.1
I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import. As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD. Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited. How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me. Thank you.

All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events. It is a start but not complete.
Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit. i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos. And empty the trash always before merging projects.
You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists. I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto '08

I accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto....By opening the "Show Package Contents" option in Finder I am able to see the Folder (Event in the Iphoto Library) that I accidentally deleted from the iphoto window. I see also all of the photos in that folder. How do I go about reinstating these originals into the Iphoto Library so that I can recreate the Event that I accidentally deleted?
Also I noticed that when you delete or move to trash any photos or events of photos from Iphoto they do NOT appear IN the Trash and one cannot reinstate them from the Trash unless you are one step away and can "Undo move to trash". Please let me know what happens to the photos or events when one moves them to the trash or "deletes" them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That's what I like....succinct, clear, and perfectly accurate. THANK YOU.
If I could ask you a follow up.... On my previous laptop and previous version of iphoto, I and my family had over the years created quite a mess with my iphoto folders, with some photos not even in folders and sitting outside of the typical iphoto folders. My new iphoto functions just fine but I suspect some of the random photos and files which appear outside of the typical iphotos structure within my new iphoto package may not be showing up in my iphoto library (I have not yet gone thru and tried to check). so my questions are:
1. What is the iphoto 08 Package Contents SUPPOSED to look like?(what are the specific folders that one should not touch)
2. If there are other folders or files outside of this structure that may not be showing up in iphoto library, what would I do to import these back into the library? (I do not care if the data attached is missing but would like to make sure I have ALL of my past photos, including ones that I may have misfiled previously).
3.After I do the above, how do I clean up the Package Contents to make sure I leave along ONLY the files that Iphoto depends on.
Thank you.

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one). The others events disapear!!

I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one) and the last import that I made in iphoto is the first one . The others events disapear!! What can be happen? Please, someone could help me?

I tried to do shift + alt + command - option
That's not what I suggested...
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.

How can i delete an event on ical without notifying

Hello
how can i delete an event on ical without notifying. All I want to do is delete the event and not notify anyone.
Thanks

I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
... gone.
It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
Good luck.

How can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

how can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

there is a way to do it. you didnt say if the two librarys were on two different computers i am supposing this is the case. In itunes on both computers go to itunes preferences there you will see where the music is stored not this location for the future.
Check is the copy files to itunes media folder is checked.
Go find that folder and see if all your music is in there if so then you can copy the folder or move it to an external hard drive.
Then go to he computer that you want all the music on and simply copy all the music files in there. Try one folder at a time so copy in say the Bob Dylan folder and see if it all works in itunes.
Obviously itunes needs to be closed when you are copying the folders over. If it doesnt immediately show up on the itunes simply choose file add to library and just go back to the folder and choose the one you want to add.
You may end up with a few duplicates if so choose show duplicates and choose which ones to delete. You may also get some files with the itunes numbering in the title you can right click and on a mac choose get info and change the name or rename in windows. I did this its a bit of stuffing around.
I would say in hindsight, one folder for all your music, let itunes copy it all over and keep adding to the original folder and back it up. If disaster ever strikes all you do is set up your new computer with fresh itunes and point itunes at your music folder and it will copy them all over again.

How can I delete Facebook events from my macbook calendar?

I'm using a MacBook Pro. I want to know how to delete Facebook events from my computers calendar, because it's taking up space and preventing me from seeing other events on that day.
BUT, every time I try to delete it, an error message pops up "Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changes to read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator."
And I can't delete the event. Have not tried declining the event because I don't wanna offend the person who invited me.
Not a computer whiz, so idk if this helps but:

Once I have published & burnt my DVD can I delete the events in imovie?

Hi Guys & Gals,
I have just published and burnt my holiday movie through idvd and saved it to my external hard drive. Can I now go into Imovie and delete the events and projects that are in there as I wish to free up space?....
WIll the movie as a whole be saved on my external drive or does it still require the clips from imovie?... This is obviously presuming that I will no be making any further edits on this movie...
Any help gratefully received....

ah... My "DVD" is three seperate projects so I guess I can't save the "DVD" as a whole but can save the three projects as seperate quicktime movies which means I can then delete the events and projects from Imovie?...

i deleted my events in iPhoto Help? The "events" are not in the trash. I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?
You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

Can I make sub-events in iPhoto? Can I delete originals of imported photos?

1) Is there any way I can make sub-events? I have pictures of family members, grouped by one event per member. Is it possible to have a Family event, and then sub events for each member? Is this better addressed through albums?
2) When I download an image from the web to my hard drive and later import it to iphoto, can I delete the originally saved file without affecting the image's place in iphoto?
Thank you for your help,
Conrad

No - there are no sub events - events are time based not subject based
Is this better addressed through albums?
Yes - or keywords and smart albums - what you want is a family folder with albums (smart or otherwise) for each member
2) When I download an image from the web to my hard drive and later import it to iphoto, can I delete the originally saved file without affecting the image's place in iphoto?
Yes - assuming that you are using the default (and highly recommended) "copy items to the iPhoto library" preference being checked (if it is not then you can not delete the "original")
It is not a bad idea to back up your originals and also you should make regular backups of the iPhoto library - and use Old Toad's library6.iPhoto database file backup very often while you are loading and editing photos
