Can't edit or delete some photos

iPhoto has got me scratching my head. I've got a few photos that I can't edit or delete. I ran the iPhoto permission, library, and thumbnail rebuilds without any success. I looked at the file permissions and I have r/w.
One odd thing is that I can see them in a smart album that matches a keyword but if I click on Library/Photos and search on the keyword, the problem photos don't appear. The smart album contains both problem and non-problem photos.
If I export/import a problem photo (losing the keywords in the process), the new version is fine. So I'd just do that but I can't delete the originals so they'd be hanging around forever
Any ideas?

Willaim
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 can't delete some photo/video iPhone 4S iOS7.0.4 (11B554a)

Hello,
I am not able to delete some photos and videos on my iPhone 4S, (32gb, ios 7.0.4). It is 3gb worth of videos and photos. The photos are not in my camera roll (i deleted that to zero) and the videos are not in the video app. When I go to album view I cannot delete some albums, I can delete some but not others. There is a folder/album called video and that is where I have a bunch of videos.
I tried to go to iTunes and just resync my photos to nothing (sync with selected photos and select nothing) and that is not working because iTunes is saying that it is not Authorized. I try to re-authorized the computer only to be told that it is authorized. I backup and sync again and basically cant even sync my iphone anymore. Backup yes, sync no.
This must be an ios7 problem because I had no trouble before.
How can I delete the 3gb worth of photos and videos? how can i delete the albums that are not offered to delete ?
thanks for any input!

Never mind guys, I found out how to fix my problem. The problem I had was that I downloaded an app on my iMac, and used it to import videos and pictures from my ipad to my computer because for some reason, it wouldn't sync, and I didn't want to use the cloud. Anyway, I had to go on my iMac and delete it from the app I downloaded and viola! The videos that I wanted to delete are all gone

HT4847 i deleted some photos from my camera roll on ipad by mistake trying to get more icloud storage. can i get them back?

I was trying to free up icloud storage in order to back up my iphone 5 using my ipad. I mistakenly deleted some photos from my camera roll and they were deleted from both iphone and ipad photo albums. Can I retrieve them somehow or are they gone forever? Now I read that doesn't help to free up space...not sure what does free up space so I can back up my phone again. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community bonwal.
Are you sure you deleted them from your camera roll and not from photo stream.

Hi ylarika27,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can take if your iPhone isn't being recognized by your computer or iTunes:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If this resolves the issue of your computer and iTunes recognizing the iPhone but you continue to experience difficulties with Picasa I recommend contacting their support team for additional assistance.

You cannot unless you backed up your phone. If you had PhotoStream on, they might still be there as well.

I deleted some photos by mistake, can i get them back?

i deleted some photos by mistake, is there any way to get them back?

Hi,
First, don't give up and DO NOT restore your ipad. That will guarantee your pictures will be gone. Can you give more info? Has it been synced with itunes before/after you took the pictures? Please let us know all info including whether or not you use icloud backups.
Meanwhile, you might want to read this - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5463971?start=0&tstart=0.
More info might help you get more specific info to retrieve your pictures.
Also, I just googled the question "how retrieve deleted pictures from ipad" and a list of sites/links came up. I haven't/don't have time to read them right now, but if you google it you might get some answers. However, don't act too fast. Know the source of the links and consider those sources. Read them and user reviews/responses to see if the different solutions work.
Hope this helps.

I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?

I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?
I mean those pictures, which come on when clicking on the user-picture, here "latest".

Unfortunately I don't speak German.
Go back to Recents (Letzte), select a picture, and then hit the delete key. Delete all that you want to. At this point the 'Done' button will be grayed out.
Click the Show All button at the top left.
Then go back to see if the user pictures were removed. It worked for me.

PSE 10 Error Message, when I try to delete some photos. Can delete others normally.

I recently have not been able to delete some photos. Didn't make a copy of the actual error message. Will record more info the next time I get the message. Have more than 60,000 photos in my database. any ideas, suggestions at this point ?

Use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog in the lower section of the dialog and hit the "Repair" button. Repair the catalog anyway, even if it says there's nothing to repair. Then repeat, using the "Optimize" button.

HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices. To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll). To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import. You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you only want to delete them go ahead. Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.

How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

Since I moved to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro

Is not funny at all, everything was fine using Mobile Me but since I switch to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete my Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro or my MacPro.
In my MacBook Pro, i open Address Book and on the left I have te list of all contacts, on the right the selected contact informations, below I only have "Add Contact" or "Share", my friend have "Edit" instead of "Add Contact".
If I click on "Add Contact" this is the result:
Are you sure you want to import 1 card? 1 card is a duplicate and will be updated.
Everything fine using my iPhone or the website.
Apple, what's going on?

Here is some information and instructions from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
Please note that iCloud is geared towards being an instantaneous (and in some cases temporary) parking place for various things with iDevices; the access and useability from a computer is more difficult and, for most things, has to be done via the website icloud.com.
