Deleting a picture from iPhoto

I deleted a photo from iPhoto, but it stills shows up in the same file when i am looking for photos to change the desktop background. I check again in iPhoto to see if it is there, but it isnt. so how do I get rid of the photo.

  • How do you delete a picture from iPhoto?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and just added some pictures from an SD card to iPhoto to see how it works. However I can't work out how to delete a photo from the album. I only want to remove one so how do I do it?

    Albums are logical things holding pointers to the photo in the library
    Deleting a photo from an album does just that  it removes the photo from the album
    To delete it from the computer select it in an event, press the delete key, empty the iPhoto trash (iPhoto menu ==> empty trash) and empty the system trash

  • The pictures from iPhoto keep transferring, even though I have deleted the app. What to do?

    I wanted to use the iPhoto app, but when I tried, it said that the app didn't work anymore, and that I had to transmit the pictures from iPhoto to Photos. And when I said ok to the transmit, it started to transfer. Bit every time it says that the transmit is done, it starts again, from the beginning. And I have now deleted the app, and it is still transmitting photos. What shall I do?

    Have you restarted your iPad, or reset it? (See:  reset your device)

  • Should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture

    should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture? What is the easiest way to do this?

    Depends.
    Did you copy the files into the Aperture Library on Import?
    If so, it's safe to do so. My tip: wait a few weeks until you're happy that you're committed to Aperture.
    Drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the trash.

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

    I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

    Don't do that.
    Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
    Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

  • Why it says The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.

    why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.

    Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
    If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General  tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".

  • Just upgraded from snow leopard to maverick.  Can't access pictures from iPhoto now.

    Suggestions?

    No suggestions until you explain what "can't access pictures from iPhoto now"... means, or even looks like.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I cannot pull up pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle

    I cannot open pictures from iphoto.  I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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. .

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden
