Apple TV 2, photos wont delete.

I have unchecked and deleted photos from my albums but they continue to stay in my apply tv when it goes into stand by mode and cycles through my photos. How do I get them out of the rotation? Again, I have already deleted and unchecked the albums in question from the photo share option.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried altering them in the screensaver settings

Deleted photos not deleted from hard drive

I have deleted photos from Lightroom 4 by choosing the 'remove from disk' option. I never want to see them again so want them to go into the iMac Trash. However they are still in the folder where the original RAW files are on my desktop. Am I doing something wrong or does the delete process take a while to complete?
Thanks

There is no "Remove from disk" option.
If you click Remove, the files are removed from your LR catalog. If you click Delete from Disk, they are sent to the recycling bin/trash can - provided the disk has one and you have premission to use it.

HT4053 How do I delete photos, the delete button does not appear to be working?

I have downloaded all my photos to my new IPad. I need to delete some I do not want, how do I do it. The delete button does not appear to be working?

I personally don't know of any other software that does syncing, however, you can use another cloud service like Dropbox or Flikr to house your photos, add and delete them and have them available for viewing on any device or comuter that has an internet connection.
I'm not sure why you would be having trouble not getting photos that you put into your Photo Stream Uploads folder on your iPad. Photo Stream is Photo Stream. Also, just so you know, photo management and Photo Stream have nothing to do with iTunes. Photo management on the computer is done through your photos folder and app (on a Mac, it's iPhoto). You only use iTunes to tell the sync process which items to retrieve and sync from that library. Photo Stream is completely independent of iTunes altogether.
If you want to get photos from a camera to your iPad without having to use a computer, get a camera connection kit which will allow you to physically hook the camera to the iPad, and to directly download the photos from the camera to the iPad.
You would still want to also hook the camera up to the computer to back those photos up to your photo library on your computer.
Also you might want to look into purchasing (for under $5) iPhoto for your iPad:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8
Seems like you might benefit from talking to your local Apple Store about when they might have some sessions for learning photo management and sharing between your device and computer, because what you appear to be wanting to do is all do-able. I guess I'm just missing what your issue is. You can many things with photos on your iPad, however, your device will never be a substitue for your computer for backing up and managing your photos.
So, best of luck, I hope one of the suggestions above will help you to achieve what you are trying to do.
Cheers,

MobileMe Gallery deleted photos also deleted from Event

I have just noticed what looks like new behavior in iPhoto '11 when deleting a photo from a MobileMe gallery.
Here is what I did to recreate the problem/behavior:
1) Created iPhoto Event with 2 images in it.
2) Shared the Event to a new MobileMe Gallery by: Share, MobileMe Gallery, Add
3) Waited for the Event to be shared to MobileMe Gallery.
4) Opened the Gallery in iPhoto under the Source list, Web, MobileMe Gallery
5) Deleted 1 of the 2 images in the MobileMe Gallery, right-clicked, and selected Trash.
--- the Image is now deleted from BOTH the MobileMe Gallery AND the iPhoto Event (see step 1) ---
I confirmed this by opening the iPhoto trash and finding the image there, and then opening the iPhoto Event and finding the image missing there.
I also just tried this with an Album...
1) Created a new Album.
2) Dragged an image from an Event into the Album.
3) Published the Album to MobileMe using Share/MobileMe Gallery/Add.
4) Opened the Gallery inside iPhoto Source list, and deleted the image.
5) Opened the Album - image deleted. Opened the Event - image ALSO deleted. Opened Trash - the image is in the Trash.
This seems like a bug, or at least behavior for which a warning should be given by the Trash dialogue box before deleting the image. Deleting an image from an Event after publishing the Album is especially surprising, and seems counter to the way Albums have always acted.
Message was edited by: Kenny and his Imac

Yes. It's not a bug. You're opting to delete the photo from the library with those key strokes, not just the gallery. If you send the photo to the trash it will be removed from the event and all other items in the library that is was assigned to.
To delete a photo from just the gallery (or album or book or slideshow) select it and use the Delete key. The photo will remain in all other locations in the library.

Deleting photo library, deleting photo library

i've swapped computers, upgraded itunes software etc, and now i'm left with a load of photo library pictures on my iphone 4s that i can't seem to delete taking up all my precious memory. i;ve tried looking in the sync function, which is how they got there in the first place, but can't get rid of them!

Try going to Settings>General>Usage>Photos & Camera. Swipe to the right over Photo Library, then tap the delete button.

How do I retrieve deleted photos once deleted?

I went to Lake Manchester today and took some adorable photos of my brother and the lake and I made a folder with them in it called Lake Manchester. For some stupid reason, I wanted to delete them from Camera Roll thinking that they would still be in the Lake Manchester folder but then it came up with a Delete Everywhere button and I accidentally pressed it. Please help me get them back. They were the best photos I have ever taken!

You might be able to recover your pictures if you were using Photo Stream.

Are deleted photos really deleted or is there some kind of back up file.

i deleted a photo i did not want to delete is there anyway to get it back

If you deleted it from the iPhone, it depends on if you had it copied to your computer. If you didn't, it's gone for good. If it's copied on your computer, all you need to do is sync it back over.

Iphone 6 won't let me delete photos

I synced my iPhone with iTunes and all of the pictures from my iPhoto synced and now I've got full memory since all of my pictures make up about 6gb. How do I delete these pictures?

Hello michqnxx,
I understand you have synced your photos to iTunes and now want to delte them from your iPhone. There are several ways to do this, and I'll include all of the information in this post.
If the photos on your iPhone were synced from iTunes to begin with, here's how you would delete them:
Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201313
Delete synced photos
In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
Click Photos.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
Learn how to delete photos and video synced from iTunes when you can't access the originals.
If the pictures were taken with the iPhone and reside in the Camera Roll:
My suggestion would be to import the photos to your computer, and create a second backup of the images. When the import finishes, you will be prompted to delete the images from the phone.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
You can also use the Photos app on your iPhone to select the images you want to delete and then tap the trash icon.
iPhone User Guide - Chapter 11 - Photos
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
Recover a deleted photo or video. In the Recently Deleted album, tap the photo or video, tap Recover, then tap Recover Photo or Recover Video to move the item to the Camera Roll or, if you use iCloud Photo Library beta, the All Photos album.
Hope that helps ...

With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up. I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

My iphone 4 wont download apps, says my storage is full, but when i delete photos/apps, its still says my storage is full. whenever i try to backup my phone, it doesnt work. anything i can do?

Go to Settings - General - Usage and see which apps are taking up a lot of space.
In my experience, if you haven't cleaned out your Messages that is where a lot of space is consumed.

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.

Deleting photos in LR 4

Sometimes when I try to delete photos in Lightroom 4 a dialog box apears saying that the photo can't be deleted, it isn't in any collection so how can I get rid of it from both LR4 and the harddrive?

Thanks for getting back to me, my system for deleting is this, after I have reveiewed all the images and rejecting some I then go to Photo and click delete rejected photos. Now 80% of the time I am successful but when Lr wont delete them the message that comes up is "Lr send these files to the recycle bin". I have tried to repeat the process several times but without sucess.
regards.
