Deleted photos reappear?

When I delete old photos I no longer need on my "Camera Roll",  I close the photo window than when I revisit my photos all the deleted ones are back?
I have iCloud. are they there? If so, how can I access iCloud to permanently remove them.
I also use photo stream from my iMac and same problem occurs in photo stream.
Where do I go to delete photos once and for all?
All my photos are backed up on iPhoto on iMac.

Photos that start on "Camera Roll" when you take them on your iPhone are quickly sent to Photo Stream so they can be shared with your other devices.
Additionally, they are placed in an event in iPhoto that would have a name like "July 2013 Photo Stream".
So you would have to delete the photo from all these (3) places to permanently delete it.

  • Why did deleted photos reappear on iPhone but I can't delete them now? They are not in my albums or photos stream.  I do not use a laptop either. After a software upgrade they suddenly reappeared.

    I have an iPhone and iPad & use the cloud. I do not use a Mac or laptop. 
    Several months ago I deleted a bunch of photos off both devices.   After a software update on my iPhone, several of those photos reappeared.  Since the update, there is a new way to look at photos by date and the appear there and only there on my iPhone only.   They do not show up under the camera or photo stream.  There is no option to be delete them from the phone. 
    I didn't do the software update on my iPad and they are on on that device, only the iPhone.   I went to the apple store but they couldn't figure it out either.
    Please help!  My new boyfriend is going crazy about these old beau photos. 

    YOu restore your phone from your icloud backup.

  • Strange problem w/ iPhoto '08: Deleted photos reappear!

    I have almost 10k photo in my iPhoto library. Of course, I have a back up, but the original files, not the library itself. Last night I just experienced a strange behaviour of my iPhoto. I think this happened after a network crash and after I had to restart my MacBook Pro. (The library is on a network drive.) I want to delete one set of photo lastly imported. It seems to be normal, but after restarting iPhoto, it comes back. I even deleted them and re-imported them and then re-deleted them with no success. Need help!!!

    Waroth_K:
    Having the network crash while you were using the library has corrupted your library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. You can try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    If that doesn't resurrect the library you'll have to start with a fresh library and import the Originals folder from the old one as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    To recover from this type of crash in the future I suggest you follow the tip at the end of my signature.
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iso4

    Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iOS 4.3.2

    Justin,
    Ok, if that's the way it works that's the way it works. Atleast until you suggest a feature change and it gets reprogrammed. And an option (other than the SHOW DATE/SHOW TIME) is not necessary, just the time showing WHEN the channel info disappears.
    I have also seen and heard what looks like RF interference. A small amount of line noise (a couple partial lines only) and crackling that does not happen all the time. Is it possible that some device or appliance in my house or the houses on either side of my home can cause RF interference with the FIOS equipment??
    As for the issue with the guide, IMHO that sux! Basically you are telling me I am forced to pay an extra $8/month just to have the channel guide? Even with basic Cable (Time Warner) a guide was available! How about a guide channel like TWC

    1) That is the way it works. There is no option to change this, other than the option to display either the channel number or the time. Actually the time is displayed once the channel is changed when the time in the STB reaches the next minute, so the delay can be very short or up to one minute.
    2) Most of the time I do not see the flash or hear the pop. But occasionally I do, on any channel change, SD or HD. I have never been able to figure out what causes it to start doing that, or what causes it to stop. It starts, does it for a while, and then I realize it is no longer doing it.
    3) No Guide on the DCT-700. Plus no VOD, widgets, or HD. If you want the Guide, you have to get one of the 6xxx or 7xxx STBs.

  • How to delete photos in disabled iCloud library

    I asked few days ago in the iCloud forum help with photos reappearing in the iCloud Photos app and unable to reduce the size of my library. (post HT204410) So far no suggestions and today I tried to start from scratch and delete all. However I ran into other issues and hope this Photos forum can provide solutions:
    1) I disabled the iCloud Photos Library option on iPhone, iPad and iMac. There were >3000 photos and videos in the library
    2) Using iCloud via Safari webbrowser there is a message displayed that iCloud Photo Library has been disabled and that I have 30 days to download my pictures.
    3) I do have copies and just want to delete all in the iCloud Photo Library using the Safari browser.  However when I select photos the option to delete is greyed out?  (see picture below)
    Question 1: Is there any way I can fully delete the iCloud Photo Library faster?
    4) I created a new Photos system library (using the <option> key at start up) and in the Photos preference made this the new system library.
    5) When I connect my iMac again to the iCloud Photo Library with this empty library it download all the photos I also can see in the browser.
    6) Both in the webbrowser and on the iMac the message that the iCloud Photos library is disabled remains even after connecting them again. It shows in red in the system preference panel for iCloud (with the library ticked on? - picture below)) and in the preferences with the Photos app on the iMac (Yosemite 10.10.3) , but with different number of days remaining (29 vs 30)?). I can not find the option to cancel this deletion from the iCloud preferences.
    Question 2: Anyone able to advise were to find this cancellation option?
    6) When I delete pictures on the iMac in the Photos app these are not synced with the iCloud Photos Library, at least in the browser no updates are happening ( and also still cannot delete any of the pictures...
    Conclusion: I have not been able to rectify the problem, but have made it worse with a disabled iCloud Photos Library that populates a new library created on the iMac, but does not respond to changes.
    Anyone who can help much appreciated.
    Thanks, Henk

    If you mean Photo Stream, just go to icloud.com, log in, click on your name in the upper right, click on advanced, and then choose reset Photo Stream.  That removes all photos stored there.

  • Why can't I delete photos from my album?

    I created an album today and am trying to sort through it by keyword to check that each photo is labeled correctly. I have been doing this by going to the search box below and choosing one keyword. However, iPhoto will not allow me to delete any photos from this album if I have any keyword selected in that search box. If anything is entered in the search box, and then I select photos and hit "delete", the following photo just gets highlighted, instead of the selected photo being deleted. How can I select all the photos in an album that have a particular keyword, then delete them from the album?
    Also, earlier I clicked a box that said "do not confirm before deleting", when I was deleting several photos from this album. Now I'd like that confirmation box to reappear. How do I get that back?
    Thanks for your help!

    Here's an example :
    - Say I have a group of photos flagged. I navigate to the "flagged" smart album. I then click open the "info" pane on the right. I see that a picture of my husband and son is wrongly keyworded "cousins". I click on the picture, then on the keyword "cousins". I hit delete and tab. "cousins" reappears. I try deleting "cousins" and hitting "tab" instead. The deleted keyword reappears again. I delete it about three more times before "cousins" finally disappears for good. Then I add the keywords "brett" and "noah" and click off the picture. Select the photo again, only see the keyword "brett" - no "noah". Yes, I could hit command-K and open the keyword menu, but that's an extra step that I shouldn't have to take, seeing as keywords are available in the info pane. I simply can't figure out what they are wanting me to do in order just to simply delete a keyword using the "info" pane. Is there a particular keystroke that makes a keyword addition/deletion "stick"? I have tried using tab, return, clicking off the keyword box, and no matter, those stinkers just keep undeleting themselves.
    Another example of incorrectly adding/subtracting keywords:
    - Again, in the "flagged" smart album, let's say I have clicked on the search box, and chosen to search for all photos with the keyword "san francisco". Now I look in those photos for ones of my husband. I highlight only those particular photos (by holding down 'command') and then using the info pane, type in the keyword "brett". Instead of adding "brett" to the selected photos within the keyword "san francisco", "brett" is added to ALL the photos with the "san fran" keyword.
    - Same scenario, only this time I want to delete a keyword from selected photos in the "san fran" group - but it gets deleted from ALL the "san fran" keyworded photos.
    I can get around this problem by adding photos, such as the "san fran" keyworded group, to a regular album, and then adjusting keywords, and the problem doesn't seem to repeat itself. To me this seems like an unnecessary step, but it does work. Anyways, within the flagged album, and I would assume within other smart albums as well (though I haven't tested this theory), I am having trouble with iPhoto adding/subtracting keywords as described above.
    Seriously, thank you again for taking the time to help me out here!
    P.S. I have deleted the preferences file 3-4 times already, and that doesn't seem to have any effect on these particular issues.

  • 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!
    Ida

    There'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.  

  • Deleting photos in trash

    I have a whole bunch of photos in iPhoto trash that I can't permantly discard.
    How do I get rid of these unwanted photos? I've tried every method of getting rid of them but they won't go away!

    I'm having a similar problem with iPhoto 6.0.4. When I delete photos from the library, which are then placed in the trash, and then select "Empty Trash", all the photos reappear in the library.
    It is time-consuming to select photos to delete and then not be able to delete them, but it is worse when the photos reappear in the library begging you to repeat the process all over again.

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.

  • How do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone

    how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

    The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
    Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
    article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
    Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
    Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
    This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
    Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

  • 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.

  • Please can someone help me with saving/deleting photos?

    Hi, I know I am not using my iPhone correctly, but I am a busy mother and have been stacking up the photos on Camera Roll.  I now need to delete some, but want to keep some to show friends. I don't have time to trawl the forums looking for the answer so am really hoping someone will take pity on me and answer these simple questions, bearing in mind that I can't get to a computer to sync that often, so i am going to have lots of photos.
    1) How do you transfer photos from Camera Roll to an album using the phone?
    2) When I sync and photos are downloaded from my camera roll I get a pop up asking if I want to keep or delete the photos on my phone. If I choose Delete, will it delete just the photos in Camera Roll, or in the albums too?
    3) I have chosen Keep in the past and now have masses of photos on my camera roll.  Short of using the curved arrow in the top right and selecting each photo individually, is there a way to delete multiple photos all at once on the phone (not on computer)?
    4) Why oh why haven't Apple got a 'protect' button for individual photos so that you can keep a few photos in camera roll and delete the rest, like on a digital camera (yes I KNOW this isn't what Camera Roll is for...) It just makes so much sense.
    Thanks.

    There isn't any "delete all" button for deleting photos on your phone.  The fastest way to delete photos is with your computer, but on the phone you will have to open the Camera Roll in thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on upper right, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap the Delete button.
    When you delete photos from the Camera Roll they are also deleted from any albums they may be in.  Albums are like music playlists, they only contain pointers to the photos in Camera Roll to allow you to look at a filtered view of selected photos.  Just as deleting songs from your library will also remove them from any playlist, so too removing photos from Camera Roll removes them from any album.
    As for why Apple doesn't have a "protect" button, you could offer that suggestion to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
