Delete photos in image vault

how do i delete photos in my image vault in photosmart primier? It only has a way to restore photos but does not have a way to delete them.

jw56mk, if these pictures are not cached on your printer, then they must be saved on your computer. You can likely find the source folder for these photos by searching for them on your computer - but to be sure, the files you are looking for -are- on your computer?
If you have Win7 I would just open the start menu and search for one of the file names you want to delete. Then right click that file and select "Open File Location." This should take you directly to the source folder.
Let me know if this helps!

Can't delete photos using Image Capture

I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to 5s....all of a sudden I can't delete photos using Image Capture like I used to. The "delete" menu item is grayed out. The "delete after import" checkbox in the lower right is available, but I don't need to download all of these photos videos. I poked around in the iPhone settings but didn't see anything which seems to control this.

Hey guys, I had the same problem on iOS 8.0.2, I couldn't delete any pictures from my Mac neither in Image Capture nor in iPhoto. I've just figured out how to resolve this. You have to disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) under Settings > Photos & Camera. Since it seems to be an iOS 8 related issue, I'm not sure if I am referring to the same problem as in the original post but I thought I'll let you know anyway.

Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView

I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?

My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

Copying files works OK, but not moving. It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this.
I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself. Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet. They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

If I delete photos from "all images" will they delete in iPhoto ?

I am looking for a way to delete unwanted photos from the HD.
I have duplicates and superfluous photos all over the HD in various locations so I would like to delete them from whatever master location will clear them from the HD.

Never make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - doing so will corrupt the iPhoto library and you will lose data
This specifically included deleting photos from the all images display
If you want to delete photos in the iPhoto library do it in iPhoto ONLY

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why can't I see my deleted photos in Trash?

I have several photos in Trash that I cannot see. I have cleared all my filters to show all pictures and I still cannot see them. I repaired my library and there is nothing wrong. Does anyone know why I can't see my deleted photos in Trash?

Terrific, Frank!
I just knew, if somebody here can solve a tricky Trash problem, it would be you.
I am trying to explore your solution a bit for future similar cases:
Finding the Trash in the "Albums" section is disconcerting, since it is behaving more like a project - at least, it is supposed to be containing images like a project and not referencing them like an album.
So, where is the actual Trash container?
Experimenting with quitting Aperture and then removing the " trashAlbum.apalbum", I found that Aperture does recreate it, when running a "Repair database". Rebuild does not seem to be necessary, if there is not an issue with the library. But without rebuilding or repairing, even adding items to the Trash or emptying the Trash did not recreate this album. Probably Aperture did still hold a cached version. I could not restart the system before launching Aperture again, because I had a backup running.
Inside this folder are two folders Albums and Folders
Just for the sake of completeness - my "Database" folder is showing a lot more folders inside:
Albums, apdb, Faces, Folders, History, Places, Vaults, Versions, VersionGroups, Volumes
plus propertylists: ActiveWebPublishingAccounts.plist, BigBlobs.apdb,
DataModelVersion.plist, Faces.dbHistory.apdb, ImageProxies.apdb, KeywordSets.plist,
Keywords.plist, Library.apdb, Properties.apdb, tmSync.plist, ZoomLevelCache.plist

Can't delete photos from camera roll

I took several photos over the weekend and downloaded them to iPhoto last night. I chose the 'delete photos' option at the end, but today some of the photos were still there. I synced my iPhone just a few minutes ago, and iPhoto offered to download the handful that were still on the phone. I did, and chose to replace the duplicates in iPhoto with the versions on the phone. I again chose 'delete photos' but the photos were not removed from the phone. Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks!

To delete large numbers of pictures from your Camera Roll, use the Image Capture app.
Select the pictures you want to delete and click the red stop sign at the bottom.
This might not work if you select too many pictures. Try selecting under 500 pictures each time.
The delete function might fail after one or two times. You need to reconnect the iPhone so the app can reload the Camera Roll.
Used it to delete 3.500 travel photos from my iPhone.

Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD

Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
This causes a problem for a few reasons.
I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
Sorry if this is verbose.
regards,

You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
And the version of iPhoto you are using?
I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
+Some Other Comments+
iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Ipod - Delete photos from ipod

How do you delete photos from my ipod?

Hi Golf43,
You are in the wrong discussion forum. Go here and choose the correct category for Windows and your iPod model.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=146
I can tell you that on the Mac, you would take out the images on the folder of images you are syncing to, then sync the iPod to that folder again.
So, if you didn't want any photos on your iPod, take out all the images from the folder on your HD that you are syncing to. I am not sure, but there might even be a checkbox in iTunes/iPod prefs to uncheck for photo sync.

Unable to delete photos from iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A

My wife needs to free up some space on her iPhone so she can take more photos and videos. She has an iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A. In General > About the device shows a Capacity of 12.7 GB and Available 1.1 GB. She has 9 videos and 1,488 photos on this phone. She also pays about $4 a month for iCloud storage.
I've connected this device to our Mac and to one of our PCs. We are unable to remove the photos from this phone. Upon selecting a photo from any collection, I can see the trash can icon on the lower right, but it is greyed out.
Now, I've read that Apple makes it impossible to delete the photos that are synced to the iCloud. This makes sense, since the syncing process would add the photo back to your device if it's not detected in the cloud. Our dilemma is this. She needs additional space on her phone. She thought that the iCloud service would provide her with additional space beyond the limitations of her phone where she could store photos without using up her phone's storage space. Based on what I briefly read, it appears that we misunderstood the iCloud storage, at least in this regard.
Here is what I need to be able to do.
1. Back up the photos from her phone to one of our devices. Either the Mac or the PC, it makes no difference to me.
2. Then delete the photos from her phone, but retain them on the device where we backed them up.
I expected to be able to use Windows Explorer on the PC in Windows 7. But upon connecting the phone to the PC, there is no directory to the phone that shows me the image contents. Instead, there is a folder under "Computer" named "iCloud Photos". Selecting that shows a message where I expected to see a listing of contents on the device, which reads "iCloud Photos is not enabled" followed by a link "Open iCloud Control Panel". Selecting that link opens the iCloud dialog, showing iCloud Storage of 182.53 GB of 200 GB available.
Selecting the checkbox next to Photos and choosing the Options button just shows a dialog that lets me choose the iCloud Photos Location on my PC. But I don't see a list of the photos.
3. Where is a dialog that I can use to drag-and-drop in Windows 7 from the phone to a directory using Windows Explorer?
I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for this. Do we just need to cancel the iCloud account? The storage doesn't do us any good if upon deleting a photo from the iCloud the syncing process will delete photos from our computers and our phone. Do we need to configure the iCloud account differently? Also, how can we tell if a photo is locked in the cloud, and thereby permanently affixed to her iPhone.
Thanks for helping us. This has been very frustrating.

The "delete after Import" message will not always appear after the import. It appears, if you are importing from a camera or card, but I do not see it, when I import from a mobile device with iCloud Photo Library enabled and into a System Photo Library, that also uses iCloud Photo Library.
See the Photos Help: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.
Unfortunately, this Help text does not state exactly, when it will be possible to delete after import and when not.

Delete photo from iPhone, NOT from Mac/iCloud

Hello,
I scanned a bunch of images recently, and I noticed they were all automatically going to the photo stream when I imported them. I believe I turned that off in preferences, but the ones I've already scanned that way are taking up space on my photo stream. I went to delete those same images from my phone, but it says that will delete them from all devices.
How can I delete the photos in the photo stream on my iPhone while keeping them on my Macbook air's Photos?
Thanks!
Joss

Icloud Photo Library is not an archive. If you wish to archive all photos before deleting some try another service like Dropbox. This also gives you another, independent, backup which is always a good idea when using a product labelled, "Beta".

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? I want to get rid of the ones I already got rid of, but if they just keep coming back that will be a waste of time.
Can anyone help?
When I sync with itunes, the photos sections says I am syncing with my iphone, so I assume that anything I physically delete from my iphone should not be showing up again. Right?
Thanks in advance.
CM
PS- I don't use iphoto.

Is that really how sync works?
If you read this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 they don't actually make how sync works very clear. I had thought that syncing my device to itunes would allow I tunes to copy what was currently on my phone so that I could restore that information when needed ie if your phone dies and you need to do a clean install of the iOS system, you always have what is currently on your phone saved in Itunes.
Specifically reading this:
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
What you seem to be saying is that iTunes saves every contact, message, photo etc and when you click sync, it reuploads things that you deleted? This seems like it should work the opposite. Make a mirror image of my iPhone on my computer, not make a mirror image of my computer onto my iPhone. You delete things for a reason.
Help- anyone else? Is razmee209 right?

How to delete photo's from both Iphoto and source (external HD) at the same time

I've seen a few postings on this but none seem to answer the quetion. Sorry if this is a duplicate and I coudn't find the answer.
I have an external HD with over 4GB of pictures in various folders and subfolders. I would like to import one folder at a time and go through the photo's using iPhoto to choose which ones I want to keep and which ones I don't. If I come accross a picture I don't like I would like to delete it in iPhoto and at the same time have it deleted from my external HD. I have tried the following with no success:
1. Import photo's to iPhone and delete photo's I don't want. I did this in the photo's view, not events or albums.
2. After deleting the photo's I empited the iPhoto recyling bin which then sends the photo's to my Macbook pro recycle bin
3. I then emptied the macbook pro recyle bin.
From what I've read this is how you're supposed to be able to delete photo's permantently form you HD or External HD. The photo's I delete never end up getting erased from my external HD though. So now I'm still stuck with a back up of a bunch of pictures I don't want on my external HD. They are gone from iPhoto but this doesn't help or avoid taking up space. This only cleans up iPhoto library but not my actual external HD.
So am I correct that there actually isn't any way to do this other than going through the photo's on my external HD using Finder and deleting them before importing to iPhoto?

A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates. Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1. It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos. You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available. You can arrange photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available. When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe.
A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.
