Deleted Photos appear again after iPhoto-Restart

Hi,
I am using a large iPhoto-Library from a Samba-shared directory. This works fine for a long time.
I just realised that deleting of photos and events seems to be buggy:
1. When tragging a Photo to iPhoto-trashbin in still appears as an events, but also in the trashbin. When deleting the content of the trashbin the event disappears
2. The crasy thing is is appears again when reloading the app
rebuilding of caches or anything doesn't help. I tried out a lot
I checked out in the finder: The picture was never deleted from its original folder. I deleted it manually. Now the thumbnail appears, but the white '?' comes up, when opening the picture
Anyone having the same probem?

Hi,
I am sorry that I was asking a question that was obvious to everyone.
As I didn't found a solution to make a MacOsExtended Journaled filesystem on ubuntu to mount and share it with samba or nfs (HFS+ seems to be quite similar, but cannot be mounted rw) it tried something different:
Instead of shareing the mounted filesystem through TCP/IP I am shareing the block-device now. I found an mac app that allows to act as iscsi initiator. To set up an LVM on ubuntu and make it in iscsi-divice is easy. Until now this works quite nice. I guess I will be able to use Timemachine though this mechanismn as well.
I would like to suggest something to the apple-developers:
It would be great to have a feature in iPhoto allowing use a local and a server-library. The local library only shows the Photos of the last 12 month or so, but the thumbnails of everything. Everytime you connect your server an automatic sync to the server library (containing everything) is done.
Thanks a lot

Can't delete photos from iPhone using iPhoto.

I connect my iphone to mac, wait until the photos are syncronized, press delete photos and after a short process nothing happenes. If I connect my iphone later it's written that all photos are syncronized, I press delete photos and again nothing happanes. How to solve this problem?

Use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to do this.
Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

Permanently Deleting Photos and Folders from iPhoto

I just purchased my first iMac on April 2, 2008 and simply love it. Goodbye Windows. WooHoo...
OK, now for my question. I am a semi-professional photographer that commonly takes about 500-1,000 photos during any given photo shoot. Normally (on Windows with Adobe Photoshop), I would load all 1,000 photos into my Adobe Catalog and review them. After a few days of edits and review, I may only want to keep the best 50-100 photos and I delete the others. But when I use iPhoto, even if I delete the 900 extra photos from my Library, they still sit in the iPhoto Library folders and take up space. I have opened the iPhoto Library Package and can see the Data, Modified and Original folders with all of the unwanted files, but I was advised by Apple Support to NEVER delete or remove files by opening the iPhoto "Package".
Is there any way to physically remove the unwanted photos from iPhoto once they are in my iPhoto Library, or do I need to edit and review them outside of iPhoto before I load them into the iPhoto Library which seems to be a permanent thing?
This is a common process for photographers who take a lot of photos. It's nice to be able to review and edit them before deciding on the best ones to keep. Surely there must be an option from within iPhoto that would physically removed the deleted photos and update the iPhoto Library correctly, without having to open the iPhoto Package and risk corrupting the Library.
Since each photo will be between 4MB (jpg) to 10MB (RAW) in size, do I need to use another application for my initial sorting, review and editing, then only import into iPhoto the "Keepers"? If so, what application should I be using?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As stated above:
Put the pics in the iPhoto trash and then iPhoto Menu -> Empty the Trash
This removes the pics from iPhoto and the Hard Drive.
A couple of notes:
1. You need to be in the Library view to do this. If you delete from an album it only removes the pics from the Album. To put pics from an Album directly into the trash use the -delete keystroke
Are you sure that you're in the Library View? This is the most common reason this doesn't work. On a longer shot there may be minor issues with your HD, but first make sure that you're in the Library View when deleting.
Also, I want to have iPhoto write the "Modified" version of my images on top of the "Original"... to save HD space. Can that be done?
No. iPhoto preserves your Original file no matter what. This is hardwired into the application and there is no easy way to defeat it.
You may export all your pics from iPhoto. Empty out the iPhoto Library (put the pics in the trash, empty the trash) then re-import the one previously exported. But this is long winded and will need to be done as your library grows. And, of course, this will defeat the Non-Destructive editing feature of iPhoto.
You can run a library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder 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.
Of, if you don't want your Original file preserved, then simply don't use iPhoto. There are alternatives out there. Search on MacUpdate.

Photos appear dark after importing into iPhoto

I am having an issue importing photos into iPhoto 6. When I download photos from my digital camera (Canon Rebel XTi) they view perfectly in Preview.app. Once I import them into iPhoto they all appear dark, however I can open the photo file from the iPhoto directory with Preview.app or even Photoshop and they appear fine. Any suggestions?
Intel iMac 20" 2.16 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The images appear to be darkened as if they were taken in low light or overly saturated colors in iPhoto only. I can open them in Photoshop or Preview.app and they look as they should. The camera is using sRGB Profile. The option for iPhoto to add a ColorSync profile is off. I get the same results with this features on or off.

Why cant I delete photos from event in Iphoto 08?

Set to edit in external editor. After trying to open movie, return to event and cannot delete photos. Open and close program a couple of times, reset to edit in new window, re-open program and I can delete, but only by dragging to the trash located in Iphoto window (cannot drag to desktop trash, use delete key, use command-option-delete etc). Works on a couple of photos, then will not let me delete in any manner again.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
Dave

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

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.

Rate & Delete photos during slideshow in iPhoto '09 (8.1.1)

Generally, I like the new iPhoto. One thing I HATE is that I cannot find a way to delete or rate photos during a slideshow. In the last version, one option was a trash can, another was a rating. I use the slideshow to see the best, full screen detail of the photo. If it doesn't pass that test, I delete it. I can't find a simple convenient way to do that now. Am I missing something?

Yes, I can do that. It means I have to click on EVERY SINGLE PHOTO and again to move between photos in order to cull photos. A joy of digital photography is the ability to take lots of shots and choose to keep the best. In the old version it was wonderfully easy to use the slideshow to rate and delete photos right from a "last import." I had to click only once to do it and only on photos I wanted to rate or get rid of. I was hoping there might be a way that I wasn't finding in the new version. What I'm hearing is that a really valuable feature of the old version has been eliminated.

Updates appear again after updating

I have several of the photo apps from the App Store. Yesterday, I updated 18 of them. Today, 8 of those appear again for updating. I checked the versions and they are the same as the ones from yesterday. I use a Macbook (Snow Leopard) and an external hard drive as Hard Drive Copy using SuperDuper. I updated the backup after the App Store updates so the Apps should be the same version on both drives. What's happening? Thanks.

Read the info in your link. Are those terminal commands? I've never used it.
When I did my first backup with SuperDuper a week ago, I erased my Macbook's hard drive. Disk Utility found no problems with the hard drive, so I then restored it from the backup. Macbook has been running normally since then, except for the App Store problem. Do problems restore along with the other data?
I see that I have App Store updates awaiting now - it is only one and not one of the previous.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate your time.

Why does the same photo appear in every iphoto album?

Why does the same photo appear in every album? Clicking on it makes other pictures appear?

Backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option an command keys, launch iPhoto and from the resulting first aid window rebuild your thumbnails. This may take several trys
If it does not fix the issue then repeat and rebuild your database

Unable to import photos in Aperture after iPhoto last update 9.6.1

Hi,
I have no clue if it's related, but after iPhoto last update to 9.6.1, I'm no more able to import photos in Aperture from my Pentax K-50.
Spinning wheel and after that, I get the message that no pictures were imported.
Everything was going fine until that iPhoto update!
Sometimes, it will import 1 picture and then Aperture will crash, saying that it was impossible to import pictures.
I formatted my SD card, but same result.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

My recent items list appears again after restart. How do I delete it for good?

When I turn on the computer, the recent items list still displays the documents and applications I worked with a few days ago. I delete it, and after restarting the computer, it displays the same list again (not a new list, but the exact same items over and over again). Any tips?

Select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). If this is a current 4th (or 3rd) gen iPod shuffle, you should be able to see the contents of the shuffle by type, intented under the shuffle's name (still in the sidebar). Select Music or Audiobooks (not sure where those items from the library will be listed). The items will be listed to the right, for each category. Find the items, select, and delete.
It's on page 20 of the manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
NOTE: If this is an 1st or 2nd gen iPod shuffle, select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Contents tab, where the items are listed. Select and delete them from this list.
I find it more convenient to make a playlist in iTunes with things I want to put on the shuffle. I then set up automatic syncing (or use autofill) to have iTunes load the shuffle from that playlist, automatically.

IPhoto won't delete photos from camera after importing. It used to....

Hello...anybody have any thoughts on this issue? I always check the 'delete after importing' option when connecting camera and importing new photos. Recently, the photos have remained on the camera and I have to delete pictures from my camera manually instead of iPhoto doing this. It seems that after I upgraded to OS X 10.5 I noticed this issue. Needless to say if I forget to delete from the camera, iPhoto wants to import the old photos when I have new pics to import. Thanks for any help.
Camera is an Olympus SLR.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
We've seen occasional reports of this with 10.5. Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
That said, experienced users do not recommend letting iPhoto delete the pics from your card. If there has been a problem with the transfer you won't know about it until after the erase is complete. It's a couple of seconds work to reformat the card using your camera.

Events mixed up and deleted photos are back after database rebuild

Hello
My father has got an iPhoto library with rougly 6200 pictures in it. One day I decided, as the old iMac he uses grew more sluggish, to rebuild the database, in an attempt to get a performance boost out of it.
So I opened iPhoto holding the cmd and the alt keys on the keyboard. There I got four options out of which at first I chose "repair database" and after that I restarted iPhoto and selected "rebuild database".
After that my father got shocked and I myself, too, since I couldn't explain him what happened:
It seems as if every picture from over 1000 photos that he put into the trash (AND we emptied the trash!) are back and strewn randomly across dozens of events. Thus if he had like six pictures of the same motiv out of which he picked one to keep, in that case all six are back!
Furthermore many many pictures are at complete wrong events now. Some pictures from one event are now at some completely unrelated other ones.
Thus the whole library is mixed up.
My father also fears that some pictures might be missing, but this is one of the only things I'm confident about, that there should be at least all pictures somewhere.
Now what did I do?
1. I fired up Time Machine and restored from a three days old backup. What happened now is: NOTHING. There were two new pictures which he added in that three days thus these two picutres were gone. But the whole problem was still there. Unchanged. How? It was a bloody restore.
2. I restored from an older backup. Same.
3. I repaired the database. No change.
4. I rebuild the database. No change.
I can't tell my father to sit down and reorder 6000 pictures by hand, which he has done for several years, all over again. What are my options? What can I do? Please help!
Thank you

Are you saying that the photos are appearing in the wrong albums, or that the photos are in their correct albums but are displayed in the different order within them ? If they are in the wrong albums then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and re-try the sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the photos are displayed in the wrong order in the albums, then they will be displayed by capture date order unless you are syncing via iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac. To get them in a different order you will need to manipulate their capture dates : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221
