Deleting images but IPhoto size stays same?
I removed about 1500 photos from iPhoto but the size of the iphoto library didn't change a bit, still at 30GB. I need space on my hard drive, what I can do?
How did you delete them and from where, an event or album?
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

How can i delete images from iPhoto?
I can not delete images from iphoto. When I try to move pictures to the trash they do not move, and if I try to delete them by pressing "right click> Trash" they do not move! pretty much the only way I can delete pictures from iphoto is to delete the library.
Can anyone help me? I'm about to permanently delete iphoto from my macbook pro.
it is nerve-wracking!Where are you trying to move these photos from? The following are the key combinations for moving from different entities in the library:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from the Event or Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:

If none of the above work try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem persists in the new library make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Deleting images using iPhoto and a 128GB SD card and a Sony a6000
I am having a problem with deleting images after transfer to my mac using either iPhoto or Aperture (All newest version) under Yosemite 10.10.2. What happens is I can transfer images and video from the a6000 into my mac but when asked to delete and answering that it is okay to delete I run into an issue. When after deleting the images in iPhoto and looking at the a6000's stored images there are blanks that have the filenames but know images. I have to format the SD card to get them cleared off the SD card. I would say it is a bug. It happens in both iPhoto and Aperture. And this occurs regardless of if I use an SD USB reader or hook up the camera video USB. The bundled software called PlayMemories from Sony doesn't has a feature to delete the images off the camera. The a6000 is a newer model and I think the way Sony organizes things on the SD card is crazy but it would be nice to have the delete feature in iPhoto actually works like every other camera I've owned.
Yes but... you really don't want to use the iPhoto delete feature.
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.
But that's my 2 cents. -
How do I delete images from iphoto after I export them to make room on my hd

Deleting songs but memory space stays the same??
Hi I've had my new Nano for about a week now. I've had a look at the apple iPod manual site and I've read through a lot of threads in this forum but I still can't seem to find an answer to my problem:
When I transfer music to my iPod Nano I have no problem but if I want to delete any songs from my Nano list through iTunes my memory capacity still stays the same.
Sorry I have a 2 gig Nano.
If I fill my ipod with songs and then if I get sick of some of them and want to delete a few here and there why does my memory capacity stay the same? I have used the update to take my Nano back to factory settings just so I can put new songs in my Nano, but its annoying that I have to keep doing that.
Am I doing it wrong? If you have any suggestions to help I would be happy.
G.G'day Colin. Thanks for your reply.
When I first got my Nano I filled it up to the max 2 gig. A few days later I deleted a few songs form my ipod but the disk space stayed the same. I then did a (Restoring iPod to factory settings) which wiped my Nano clean and back to a full 2 gigs. I
I have manual syncing as I have about 20 gig of songs in iTunes and only a 2gig Nano.
My question is: my Nano is maxed out with music to its full 2gig capacity if I were to delete say 20 songs from my Nano I should have some disk space available to add some different music but my nano's disk space doesn't change. If I delete all my music through I tunes the disk space in my Nano still says I have no space to add new songs.
At the moment if I want to delete and add some new music I have to reset my ipod back to factory settings just to add new music to my ipod. Surely the must be some way I can just plug in my Nano delete a few tunes and add new ones without having to (Restoring iPod to factory settings) all the time I want to add new music.
Thank you. Graham. -
Permanently deleting images from iPhoto and hard drive
Ok, so I have deleted the jpeg files for the images that I wanted to get rid of. I can no longer find the icons that correspond to those files/images. However, when I open iPhoto and scroll through my library I can still see them as I scroll. If I stop scrolling, for whatever reason, the files that I previously deleted disappear and only reappear when I start scrolling again. I am also able to view them as thumbnails across the top of the library when I have it open. I want to get rid of these images completely so I will not see them again no matter what.
How can I delete the files/images so that I will never run across them in my library again, scrolling or not?There's probably a special iPhoto forum for this which will get more notice.
I don't have iPhoto.
I'm wondering if, like iTunes, iPhoto keeps its own reference database of your images. I have mp3s I have disposed and iTunes thinks they are still there until I try to play them. In itunes I have to hunt them down in the itunes window and delete them there AND delete them on the drive too. iPhoto may have the same. iTunes badly needs an "update library references" button and it wouldn't surprise me if iPhoto was written along the same lines. -
How can I delete photos from my iPhone 4S without deleting from Mac iPhoto at the same time?
My iPhone has more than 12gB of photos & video - some 1200 of them. I have transferred them all to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Now I want to delete about 75% of the photos on my phone while I keep the rest safely on my Mac. When I go to delete the photos a warning comes up to say that I am about to delete my photos from all locations but I cannot afford to lose my memories.
You can't because the actual photos are in the camera roll. The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos.

Random images - but retuned in the same order...
Hi all,
I dont post here often, but Im a tad stuck and need some
help.
I have this code:
<%
If (Recordset1RE.Fields.Item("qRE").Value) <= 7 And
(Recordset1RE.Fields.Item("qRE").Value) >= 4 then
RANDOMIZE
Response.write("<IMG SRC='randompicture" &
INT((12)*RND()) &
".gif'>")
Else
response.write ""
End if
%>
... which returns a random set of icons in a repeat region.
That bit is
fine.
There are a number of icons dotted around on a grid, that
change location
depending on the value in the database.
What I need to be able to do is return the random icons in
the same order
for each repeat region on the page.
Anyone know how to do that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
~LWrite each image into a variable after the randomization.
Place them on the
page using the variables....

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?
Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I deleted a large iPhoto library from my hard drive to make space for an updated version. When I emptied the trash and checked on memory, there was an equivalent sized backup, so I still can't download the new library. How do i delete the backup from my hard drive?
You could be seeing the local Time Machine backup files.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for the details on Local Snapshots. -
i was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ? i dont need the pictures or the back ups , i want to delete them but they are not there
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
Image position the same? Image size the same?
Hello
I am inserting images into my website and want them to be in the same position (they are all the same size by the way). When I insert them they are sometimes lower down than I need them. I then have the annoying task of deleting lines to "move" the image up. I know it something to do with CSS styles but is it easy to achieve?
Furthermore, on my site I have a small image that when clicked leads onto a larger image. In order to achieve this I am having to create 2 images (large and small) with an image resizer (it's tedious!).
Is there a way to make the images on the website the same size to prevent having to resize them prior to importing them?

I agree with Nancy and Jon - you can automate it easily in Photoshop and other tools. It takes a couple of extra minutes
Only if you require no cropping of the images. I've never produced a website yet where the majority of images can be used directly without cropping areas, which makes them unique and cannot be batch processed all together.
The only time I use a batch process is if I need to convert everything from 300dpi to 72dpi or I set a max image width or height.
Photoshop is great if all the original images you need to batch process are the same dimensions and you need to use the same area, after that you need to start manually manipulating the process. Automation has it's limitations.

Many assumptions on your part, I dare say.
No assumptions, go to any responsive website now and you'll come across large images set at max-width; 100%; to cater for all devices.

Nowadays I tend to work from an efficient mobile base initially (if and when the client/project requires it, of course) - which has become the norm for me in the last two years, at least. Perhaps not for you. If I can provide a quick and efficient mobile experience alongside a good desktop/large screen version, then I will. I am not going to brute-force unnecessary bandwidth costs upon mobile users either, which you seem to advocate in your first post - and those assertions were what I thought to be rather odd and lop-sided.
Anyway, the extra work is trivial when done through simple back-end and front-end scripting and having it all done automatically for you, and then re-use for the next client. And most CMS's provide such built-in functionality as well, so it does not really take more time at all to provide a good mobile experience.
Then will will have to agree to differ. I start from desktop first then move onto mobile. If you are finding the extra work is trivial then you are short changing your clients. Personally I've found producing responsive design to increase the workload considerably, given the extra css and testing you need to carry out I would have thought that was fairly obvious, unless you're using some kind of duplicated templated system for each client, which I prefer not to.
Everything is rather odd and lop-sided isn't it? I mean the new html5 tags create <div> soup if they are used correctly - I find that rather odd and lop-sided considering for so long we were told that more marked up created greater download times and was overly complicating matters. Now its ok until in a few years time it's replaced by something else, and we'll be told that it was all a big mistake.

Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2
Hi All,
20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.Hi ,
I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion.
2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
Thanks,

What does this mean? iPhoto[207] have info and image but no ref
Bought a MacBook about 8 weeks ago. Had to reload it from scratch yesterday (Mac OS DVD's) after numerous issues surface (files disappearing, random crashes, etc.) Disk Repair/fsck didn't work.
Today I imported a bunch of pictures from a CD, went to edit some and post with IWeb, and got the error message above in my console file. I deleted all the pix and just reloaded them. (10.4.8 was not a positive experience for me.)
Love the Mac, but this is getting to be real work at this point.
I was a former Unix System Admin and spent 21 years in IT with AT&T, IBM, etc. Currently running 6.0.4. Fearing that my hard drive is having issues.

It's getting to sound like permissions restrictions are preventing iPhoto from doing what it normally does to photos - create thumbnails, export the EXIF information to its database. The last line seems to indicate that it couldn't find the link between the displayed thumbnail and the actual photo file.
Do you allow iPhoto to import into its iPhoto Library folder? (default) or do you have Copy to iPhoto Library turned off in Advanced prefs?
How did you import into iPhoto, specifically?
iPhoto makes a lot of assumptions and is finicky about some things expecially structure. It doesn't like things being done behind its back, i.e. though the Finder or through Terminal or anything else. Usually with that last Console comment, it's a strong indicator something changed. -
Want to free up disk space by deleting photos but unable to do so
To delete photos from iPhoto:
Drag the image from the iPhoto Library (Either Events or Photos view) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then empty the system trash as well.
If space is an issue you can run a Library from an external drive:
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.
Or move part of the Library to an external drive.
