Delete folder help

I need to find out how to delete my photo albums on my I phone I have 3 albums all with same pics how do I delete the folders

If you are selecting a single folder that contains the photos only that you want transferred to your iPhone, a single album should be transferred to your iPhone. All photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. The name of the selected folder on your computer where the photos are stored is also available below the Photo Library as an album. This is for when transferring multiple albums to your iPhone. You can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The photos in the albums on the iPhone are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the iPhone's Photo Library.

Keynote Export deleted folder - HELP!

I'm an idiot. While exporting a single Keynote file to my desktop as a jpg, I mistakenly named the export folder the same name as an existing folder and then clicked yes to replace the previous folder. Is there any way to recover the folder and contents that I overwrote? It is an extremely important folder with a huge amount of data.
Thanks!

I think your only hope is data recovery software.
I have used Data Rescue for many years and have been astonished at how effective it has been.
One example - I'v recovered most of the contents of a drive that was reformatted twice.
Recovering an over-written folder is a difficult one to sort out but its certainly worth a try.
The same company have image recovery software (its a lot cheaper) if the folder you lost contains only image files.
There is a free a free demo for all there products here:
Data Rescue 4
Please post back and let us know the outcome.

I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder which I had created. Can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!

Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
very great tool

Problem in delete folder

Please don't refer me to the innumeras delete folder solutions available in the SDN. None of them has come to my help.
I need to delete a folder. Well, codes are available everywhere, I run it, it successfully deletes the folder specified.
But the requirement is, I need to make a zip of the folder, then I'll delete the original folder. I am pasting the code here. The zip part is working, the delete part is not! if you comment the line calling zip, it deletes the folder, but after zipping, it cannot delete.
Is there some lock present? How to check and remove that? Please help.

Thanks it worked.
The problem was, the folder I was trying to delete had .classpath, .project, .websettings files. It was encountering problem to delete these files because it internally also uses files of same name.
May be that was the reason.
I tried with any other folder, it worked.

Photos are not deleted from "recently deleted" folder after 30 days

Hello-
I tried to sync my iPhone 6 today, and iTunes read that there were 2500 pictures stored on my device (nearly double what I actually have). I did some searching online and I found that if I change the date of my phone back 1 month (to Feb. 15), all of the photos that were supposed to have been deleted from the "recently deleted" photos folder had reappeared. I manually went back through and deleted the photos that had reappeared in my recently deleted folder from every month since I got my phone (Oct. '14), and then iTunes said I was back down to 1400 pictures.
Why hadn't the pictures deleted after 30 days like they were supposed to? How can I rectify this?
Thanks,
Carson

Thanks for your quick answers!
I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
And thanks again!

Geotagged a folder of ~200 photos then accidentally deleted folder. How to recover geotagging data?

I had a folder of around 200 photos that I imported into Lightroom (Version 3.6) and manually geotagged using Lightroom with Jeffrey Friedl's Geoencoding Support Plug-in. This took several hours of work in Google Maps, determining where each photo was taken then individually labeling each photo with the exact GPS coordinates in Lightroom, so it was pretty annoying when I realized that I accidentally deleted that folder earlier this week in an attempt to free up some space on an external hard drive.
I *do* have two back-ups of the same photos that were in that folder, however -- one on another external hard drive and one on a laptop -- but the photos in those folders are untagged and don't have any of the geotagging data that I manually applied to the ones in the other (now deleted) folder in Lightroom.
When I go into Lightroom now and look at Previous Import it shows thumbnails of all the deleted images along with the text "The file named (imagename.jpg) is offline or missing." However, in the Metadata panel on the right under "Geoencoding" I can still see the GPS coordinates I applied to each of the photos. I could individually write down each of those sets of coordinates along with the numbers of the images they belonged to and then manually type in all those coordinates for the 200+ photos in the folder with the untagged photos but it seems like there has to be an easier, faster way to do this. Is there?
Let me reiterate what I'm asking. I have 200 photos in Folder A on one external hard drive and the same exact 200 photos in Folder B on another external hard drive. I manually geotagged all of the photos in Folder A using Lightroom but then accidentally deleted Folder A. I still have all the same photos in Folder B but without the geotagging data. I can still view the geotagging data of the pictures that were in the now-deleted Folder A in Lightroom. Is there any way to transfer that data to the same pictures in Folder B, using Lightroom or any other program?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Outside LR, just copy Folder B back to the same place as Folder A was, and make sure it has the same name as Folder A. That's it. You haven't lost the metadata, including the geotagging info....that's all still in the catalog. But because you've deleted the folder outside Lightroom, you get the "File is offline or missing" messages (in fact if you look in the Folders Panel you should see Folder A listed also with a '?' mark).....so just putting the folder back in place should fix the issue.

How to create a logon script to delete folder, subfolders and contents when a user logs on ?

I need to create a logon script which will delete a folder, subfolder and contents when a user logs on. I have no experience with scripting so any pointers you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks

depending on how you have thing set up, it might be easier to make a LaunchAgent to handle this. do this:
copy the text below into a text editor
save it as a plain text file in /Library/LaunchAgents with the file name "user.startup.folderDeleter.plist" (the name doesn't matter so much, but the 'plist' extension is required)
load the plist into launchd by restarting the machine or by opening terminal and running the command launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/user.startup.folderDeleter.plist
This will delete the folder any time any user logs in. You could also expand this to delete the folder periodically (once a day, for instance) if that would be helpful.
Note, this file must be saved as plain text. apps like TextEdit sometimes default to making rich text files which will not work. Either download a programmer's text editor like TextWrangler, or make sure that TextEdit is using plain text (if the window has a formatting toolbar it's using rich text; select "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu).
copy the text below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

HT6378 I "upgraded" to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), my 2000+ pictures between my iphone/ipad has now become 85 photos. Where are the other 1900 pictures--not in the deleted folder?

I upgraded to iCloud Photo LIbrary (Beta) today but my 2000+ pictures have now become 85 pictures on the iCloud/iPhone & iPad. The pictures are not in the deleted folder. These "pictures" were NOT normal with prior IOS upgrades. I could not delete them. Where have all of these pictures gone?

Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
Did a factory reset on iPhone
Restored the thing from previous backup
Re-entered all my passwords and such
Now it's syncing again.
The whole procedure took me about two hours.
No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

I use MAIL to retrieve my email. One spam email will not delete. HELP! How do I get rid of it?

I use MAIL to retrieve my email. One spam email will not delete. HELP! How do I get rid if it? This is on an iPad2.

Try this. Don't open the email. Swipe across it in the preview window and a red delete button will pop up. Use that to delete it. You can delete it from the trash the same way if needed.

When i swipe my finger to delete messages, the "delete" option disappears in no time before I tap delete. Help?

Also, my battery died after like 4 hours of a full charge.
This is a brand new phone .. HELLPP!!!

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. This usually takes care of glitches. You will not lose data resetting the phone that way.
As for the battery drain, if you're using push/fetch for your mail, try to delete and set up the mail account again, the have been cases, in which the mail app tried to log into the mail server over and over again, causing the battery drain.

How do I retrieve mistakenly deleted folder

I created a folder 'Identification' in my outlook account then deleted it by mistake

hi carol1955, you mean a deleted folder on your outlook webmail ? In this case, i think you should refer to the outlook support.

There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.
