Deleted Photos don't go to trash!
if I delete a photo from iPhoto, using delete or "move to trash", they disappear forever and are not in the Trash. Where do they go and why?
James:
What Trash bin are you looking in? Make sure you're checking the iPhoto Trash bin at the bottom of the Source pane. Also where are you deleting the file from, the main library or an album? If you delete from an album it only gets deleted from that album and remains in the main library, therefore not showing up in the Trash bin. If you want to send a photo from an album directly to the Trash bin you should use the Command-Delete key combination.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Deleting Photos in slide show modus trashes the wrong photos
In my Library are 13500 photos. Some good, many not so good. I find it comfortable to delete some of them by browsing a slide show, but when looking into the trash I was very surprised that I found photos that I for sure not deleted even not viewed...
one example: let´s say I want to delete photo "01.jpg" and photo "girl45-1" (it depends not on the names).... and I delete them by pressing the "delete-key" on the keyboard...
In the trash bin in iPhoto I found: photo "01.jpg and "car.jpg" (just an example)
This behavior is identical on both Macs.
DualCore 2,0 G5 / MacBook Black 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.

That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. -
Deleted photos did not appear in trash
on iMac I went to retrieve some deleted photos only to find that they were not in trash.
Your previous message, an hour ago, was the first one I’ve seen on the Photoshop Elements forum since 8 hours ago, and only the fifth one since 20 hours ago.
The Adobe forums have been down all day—maybe for a scheduled upgrade, or maybe due to fixing the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability if they were afflicted with that, so what messages may or may not have come through and who might have seen what is unclear at this point.
These messages have all come through my e-mail as the main forums.adobe.com website has been down since last night every time I’ve checked. -
Deleted files don't appear in trash
When I drag files to trash they are deleted from the folder, but don't appear in trash. Is there some setting that has changed so the trash is emptied immediately?
Hi and welcome to discussions.
You are probably aware that the external drive needs to be connected and showing in order to empty whatever has been deleted from it.
Deleting something via Finder should add crumpled paper to the trash icon.
However deleting from within some applications does not put the deleted file in the Desktop's trash can. iPhoto is an example of this, so using this as an example you would need to 'empty the trash' from within iPhoto or relevant application to get rid of it. -
How do you delete photos from an Ipad2. trash can in there, but is grayed out?
I cannot delete photos from my Ipad. The trash can is there but is grayed out.
Also, there a hundreds of pictures that I never loaded. These are associated with (4) movies I purchased. How do I stop this from happening.Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

When trying to delete photos from my Iphone 5s, I no longer have a trash button, please help.
I have tried "Select" and even then the only function I have is "add to". Is there a new way to delete photos that I just do not know about?
You don't get a trash can icon in the bottom right portion of your phone after pressing Select and then choosing a picture?
If not, try resetting your phone and then attempt to delete a picture.
Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data or current settings. -
Hi! I have 74k photo's in my iPhoto trash and it crashes when trying to empty. Clearly it's too much for the system to handle so after researching I downloaded 'Trashit!' which didn't help even if I selected one photo and dragged it to the trashit icon, not a single photo will delete from the iPhoto trash.
I've tried creating a new album but the photo's won't drag. I have tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist and done several timely rebuilds but I still can't find a way to empty the trash. I hope there's something really simple I'm missing here, any help appreciatediiPhoto is known to lock up if you try to delete a large number of photos at a time. Here are a couple of ways to get out of the predicament you're in:
1 - go into iPhoto's General preference pane and uncheck the Show item counts checkbox:
and then try emptying the iPhoto Trash bin again. It's iffy however.
2 - If that fails and you don't use the Rating stars you can do the following: select all of the photos in the trash and Control-click to bringup the contextual menu. There will be the 5 stars for the ratings. Select either 5 or 1 to apply that rating to the photos.
Next create a smart album with the criteria:
selecting the number of start you applied to those in the Trash bin.
Move the photos from the Trash bin to the Library and the Smart Album will immediately be populated with those photos.
You can now select about 100 photos or so at a time and use the Command+Option+Delete key combination to move them back to the Trash bin and empty it. Repeat with groups of about 100 or so photos till they are all deleted. Then delete the Trash bin in the Dock to completely remove them from your hard drive.

How to get deleted photos back in the trash can?
I tried to dele all the photos I've deleted from iPhoto by cmd+delete all the photos in the iPhoto trash can, but that only made all the photos reappear in iPhoto.
How do I get the deleted photos back in the trash can?
I discovered this the next time I turned on my mac, so I couldn't just "go back".
I really don't wanna go trough ALL of my pictures and delete the thousands of pictures I've deleted over the past three years..
I now know how to delete dem properly, but not how to get them all back in the trash can. Please help me!
IdaThere's no way to do that. If you try and trash thousands of photos at one go you'll trash the Library - which is what sounds like you've done.
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. -
Empty Trash does not delete photo from Masters File. Why?
When I delete a photo and then empty the trash the file still remains in the Masters File in the iPhoto Library. This is concerning since these are large files that don't need to be there. Am I doing something wrong. How do I get rid of these unwanted picture files?
Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2, #5 and #6.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you have a lot of photos that you've deleted and the Masters copy is still in the library Fix #3 may be the only one that will remove those rogue files from the library. You'll just have to check after running each. -
I added photos from my laptop onto my iphone 4s,now I can't delete them. There is no trash can for these photos,but there is for others. What have I done?
Sounds like you used iTunes to sync them to your phone. You will need to use iTunes to unsync them - they can't be deleted on the phone.

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod. I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?
No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

After 10.9.4 Update: Mail Messages Grey Out Upon Deleting-Don't Move to Trash?
Hello,
After 10.9.4 Update/MacBook Pro with Retina display: Mail Messages Grey Out Upon Deleting-Don't Move to Trash? I believe I must join those who are having trouble with mail after this latest update. Deleted messages just turn a light grey in the message panel and don't move to trash until after I quit and restart mail. I have also experienced the screen "Freezing" ... no spinning beach ball, just the pointer frozen. This has happened only when I use mail and requires a "hard" re-start to correct. Is this a "feature" of the update, or is it a problem? Thanks!Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
Quit Mail and empty the Trash. If you still can't, log out or restart the computer.
