Deleted photos have come back?

When I take photos, I take many at a time. I then import into iPhoto 08 and delete the ones I don't like. All of a sudden today I've noticed that my library is full of old photos that I thought I deleted. I realise this is a strange problem to have (most people complain about accidentally deleting photos and wanting to get them back). But this is really annoying too! Any ideas about how to get my library back to the way it was?

How are you deleting them?
The correct procedure is to remove the photos from the Library (either Events or Photos view, it doesn't matter) by putting them in the iPhoto trash, then going iPhoto Menu -> Empty trash. This removes the pics from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
Putting pics in the trash from an Album simply removes them from that Album, not the Library.

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

How to delete photos that i backed up before in all of my devices?

How to delete photos that i backed up before in all of my devices?

Same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Photos tab, remove the check marks next to the folders/albums you don't want on your phone, hit the apply/sync button.

My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in camera roll and photo stream come back?

My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in came roll and photo stream come back?

Photos in the camera roll are included in your backup and should be recovered by restoring the backup to a replacement phone. Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you reconnect to photo stream you will get back any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.

I have a large thing of messages that when I delete it, it comes back

I have a large file of messages that when I delete it it messes up my phone and won't let me send messages or use most things until I turn it off and then back on .. But when I turn it back on all of my messages come back .. is there anyway to fix this without restoring my phone?

No, you cannot backup via direct usb connection..
But gigabit ethernet is much faster anyway.. are you connected directly by ethernet?
Is the drive you are backing up from plugged into the TC? That will slow it down something chronic.. plug that drive in by its fastest connection method.. WESC sorry I have no idea. If ethernet use that.. otherwise USB direct to the computer.. always think what way the files come and go.. but since you are copying from the computer everything has to go that way.. it makes things slower if they go over the same cable.. if you catch the drift.

Thrid party application wont delete in trash- comes back

i have downloaded a thrid party applciation named 4easy dvd ripper; the free version . I tried to get rid of it by droping in into the trash but not all files deleted.. I had to search for every single file that went with it ... The problem is that the actul application that opens up the download box wont erase from my mac. It comes back evry time i place it in the trash.. the trash will take the .dmg application but once i try to delete form the trash it pop back to Doenloads. How can i get rid of thing .. please help

I think i found a solution ... I had to use the secure empty trash option under finder to completely erase it off otherwise if you try to empty the trash using the regular "empty trash" option the item would disappear from trash and would come back to the mac download folder agian ! ... Thanks for the advice though.

LR bug: Photo not shown when you edit in OnOne Perfect photo and come back to LR

I have LR 5.5 and OnOne Perfect Photo Suite 8.5 (PPS) installed.
When I edit the photo in PPS, triggered from LR, then come back to LR, the photo isn't shown, but the original photo shows that another photo is stacked with it. No matter what I do I can't see the photo unless I either (1) close LR and re-open it or (2) click another folder to load other set of images, then go back to the folder I was in.
Repro steps:
Install LR 5.5 and PPS 8.5.
Select a photo in LR and go to menu bar and click on File, then Plug-in Extras, then click on Perfect Photo Suite 8.
Edit the photo in PPS, then go to File, then Save. Exit PPS.
Go back to LR and you'll see that the original photo you selected shows an overlay showing "2", which indicates it is stacked with another photo. Click on the overlay to expand the stack,
Actual result: You only see the original photo, even though you've expanded the group.
Expected result: I see both photos, the original one and the edited one in PPS.

I have had the same problem on several occasions and here is what I have found. Look at your folders in the left-hand pane. When this has happened to me, the current folder was listed as "Current Import". You need to change the folder view to the actual folder you are working from and then you will see the additional photos from onOne edits.

Logon screen / wake up problems have come back

Hi, I've got a first generation macbook.
Originally, I had a lot of problems when waking up my macbook.
1) I'd use it
2) I'd close the lid for some time (hours) which sends it to sleep
3) I'd open the lid and either nothing would happen, or I'd enter my login credentials then the screen would just go blank.
4) The only cure would be to close the lid again for 20 or 30 seconds then repeat steps 3) and 4) until I logged in and the macbook was usable again. Sometimes I even had to hold down the power button to force a reset.
These problems disapeared but now they've come back.
Does anyone have any ideas please? (and re-installing the OS doesn't count)
Thanks,
Tom

What do you have against reinstalling the OS?
You can Archive and Install without losing any data whatsoever. I see that you have only updated to 10.4.8 unless maybe you have just not updated that info in you Apple Discussions info.
This may not be for everybody but what I do with every computer I own is two things:
1) I have an external backup hard drive that I make a periodic clone of the computer's hard drive.
2) I partition my computer's hard drive into more than one drive and use one of them as a clone of the main drive.
This way I always have the ability to do an update of any kind to my drive but without taking any risk of messing up it's pre-update state of affairs. I can always clone it back to where it was using one of its clones.
The idea is to put yourself in a position such that you cannot get screwed by doing a re-install or an update, or experimenting with risky software or ideas for fixing problems by deleting certain programs or any number of other things of this nature. Having only one copy of your computer's hard drive is a very risky way to operate, but it seems to be the norm by a large margin.

I accidentally installed MacKeeper/ Conduit several weeks ago in Mavericks. I was able to remove the malware with no troubles. After my upgrade to Yosemite it seems to have come back but there are no files to delete like last time. Help!

Hi all,
I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, which I think might be the culprit.
I had installed MacKeeper (big oops!) several weeks ago but was able to get rid of it by deleting all conduit/zeobit files with no problems afterward. Now after upgrading to Yosemite it is back. I tried getting rid of it with the same tactics I used before to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

HT201250 how can I check that all photos have been backed up in time machine

I have used Time Machine for the first time to back up my Macbook Air. Macbook Air's iPhoto shows approx 5200 pictures on file.
How can I check that the external hard drive (Time Machine) has all 5200 saved correctly before deleting the photos from the Macbook Air ?

The only way to check a back up is to do a restore of it.
However, why are you deleting your photos from the MBA? If you do they will also be deleted from Time Machine eventually. TM keeps a rolling back up of your machine. It copies and maintains your additions and deletions. Eventually, these photos will be deleted from TM too. It's not an archiving app.

Deleted e-mails come back using a GMail IMAP account

I have Mail 4.1 on SnowLeopard, just configured it with a Gmail IMAP account and received all my 7000+ (yeah, you've read that right, sever THOUSAND plus) emails. Now I would like to delete them, I do so, I close the app and when I launch it back the emails are downloaded again.
I did a little research and double-check the settings as Google recommends for their IMAP config with Mail app (although their configs are for Mail 3.0):
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check
I still get them back, those buggers. it is very annoying.
After more research I found some recommendation to delete the com.apple.mail.plist which I did, i rebuild email box and still get the same results (deleting mails, quitting the app and when I launch again I get the deleted massages back).
Is this a problem with Mail 4? It don't recall having it with Mail 3 on Leopard. And I don't recall seeing it as a known bug. What is going on?

I don't know how to edit a previous post, therefore I am posting a reply to myself (grin). I went back to my MacBookPro (with Leopard) and created a brand new user account and configured Mail (different version then the one on Snow Leopard, right?) and I get the same crap: I delete the email and is coming back a few seconds later or upon the re-launch of the Application. Again, the settings are:
Gmail IMAP account
Do not save the deleted messages on the server
Delete upon quitting mail
It is very frustrating. On the MBP I am using Entourage and I didn't want to use any Microsoft products on the new iMac (turns out to be obsolete since yesterday). I seems like I am stuck in the Microsoft World though; how sad!

Deleting photos puts them back as album?!

Hi,
I suddenly found, that I have about 1000 Pics in my iphoto bin. When I wanted to delete them permanently, they were placed back as an album and my proper albums were deleted??? Absolute chaos!
Any ideas what went wrong here? I just updated to the new iPhoto and really cant handle this problem.
Pat

What's happened is that trying to trash 1k photos at one go has damaged you database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

I am using Windows 7 and no matter what I try, I can not delete the history/search on the left of the screen? Even if I hi-lite and delete, it always comes back?

Have tried all the tips from troubleshooting. Private Browsing, checking and unchecking of boxes. It used to clear every time I closed Firefox? I don't normally open this or use it for links since I have most of what I use under Bookmarks...Thanks

If you created those prefs in a previous Firefox version then they will still be there, but they won't have any effect in current Firefox versions, so you can right-click them and choose reset to remove them.

If you delete the file places.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder then all history should be gone.

Mail client in 10.8.2 deleted/moved mail comes back
