Deleting photo options
On IPad 4 when trying to delete a photo I get a message that the photo is used in, for example, two albums and do I want to delete it everywhere. That's the only option available so it seems my choice is delete in all locations or delete in none of the locations. Am I missing something? These are all photos imported from a camera.

I have a problem with a nokia 6303.
After taking a photo and deleting it -> I pressed options and the phone restarted
Is it a software bug? or?
At the Menu media.. if I go to the Media player and there is no song "preloaded"
(ie a previous listened) the media player stucks.. the phone has to be restarted
to be able to play music again. This seems like a sofware but... I hope it will be fixed soon.
Also the phone makes a background noise when the screen is light up
Photo Problem: When you opened the picture and then deleted it , the picture was still in memory and when the menu tried to go back one step the picture was no longer there so reset the phone. Bug? Don't know, I would suggest that if you want to delete files do so in list view not whilst viewing the file you want to delete. If you tried to do this in windows it would give you an error messaeg something like "this file is in use"
Media PLayer Problem: This could be down to Software, it could also be down to a memory card read error.
Try taking card out and using a memory card reader check that all files are readable. If one of the files is corrupt the media player may be trying to look for files to add to playlist and when it gets to the corrupt one bombs out.

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. -

Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto
when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?
It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

How to delete photos with no option to sync in iTunes
I'm trying to delete photo albums from my iphone 4s, but when connecting to iTunes, there is no 'photo' tab to allow me to re-sync and remove some albums. This is v2 of the phone, the original having drowned in a vegas pool, and not sure if the issue is from these photos basically being put on this phone from an icloud backup. Surely there's some way of deleting them though, right?!?!?!
Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

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.

Delete photos from iPod Touch 4G
I can no longer sync my iPod Touch 4G (iOS 6) with iTunes (insufficient space). When I bought my MacBook Pro last year, they set it up to sync my photos (I literally have over 12,000 photos) which all got transferred to my iPod. I want to delete them but can't seem to find any delete options or how to stop iPhoto from automatically transferring all of my photos after uploading. I now have iTunes 11 and it doesn't even show photos in the sidebar anymore so I can't seem to delete them that way. Anyone know how I can remove these photos from my iPod and/or stop iPhoto from always syncing them to the iPod??

Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD
Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
This causes a problem for a few reasons.
I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
Sorry if this is verbose.
regards,You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
And the version of iPhoto you are using?
I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity 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.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
+Some Other Comments+
iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Unable to delete photos from iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A
My wife needs to free up some space on her iPhone so she can take more photos and videos. She has an iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A. In General > About the device shows a Capacity of 12.7 GB and Available 1.1 GB. She has 9 videos and 1,488 photos on this phone. She also pays about $4 a month for iCloud storage.
I've connected this device to our Mac and to one of our PCs. We are unable to remove the photos from this phone. Upon selecting a photo from any collection, I can see the trash can icon on the lower right, but it is greyed out.
Now, I've read that Apple makes it impossible to delete the photos that are synced to the iCloud. This makes sense, since the syncing process would add the photo back to your device if it's not detected in the cloud. Our dilemma is this. She needs additional space on her phone. She thought that the iCloud service would provide her with additional space beyond the limitations of her phone where she could store photos without using up her phone's storage space. Based on what I briefly read, it appears that we misunderstood the iCloud storage, at least in this regard.
Here is what I need to be able to do.
1. Back up the photos from her phone to one of our devices. Either the Mac or the PC, it makes no difference to me.
2. Then delete the photos from her phone, but retain them on the device where we backed them up.
I expected to be able to use Windows Explorer on the PC in Windows 7. But upon connecting the phone to the PC, there is no directory to the phone that shows me the image contents. Instead, there is a folder under "Computer" named "iCloud Photos". Selecting that shows a message where I expected to see a listing of contents on the device, which reads "iCloud Photos is not enabled" followed by a link "Open iCloud Control Panel". Selecting that link opens the iCloud dialog, showing iCloud Storage of 182.53 GB of 200 GB available.
Selecting the checkbox next to Photos and choosing the Options button just shows a dialog that lets me choose the iCloud Photos Location on my PC. But I don't see a list of the photos.
3. Where is a dialog that I can use to drag-and-drop in Windows 7 from the phone to a directory using Windows Explorer?
I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for this. Do we just need to cancel the iCloud account? The storage doesn't do us any good if upon deleting a photo from the iCloud the syncing process will delete photos from our computers and our phone. Do we need to configure the iCloud account differently? Also, how can we tell if a photo is locked in the cloud, and thereby permanently affixed to her iPhone.
Thanks for helping us. This has been very frustrating.The "delete after Import" message will not always appear after the import. It appears, if you are importing from a camera or card, but I do not see it, when I import from a mobile device with iCloud Photo Library enabled and into a System Photo Library, that also uses iCloud Photo Library.
See the Photos Help: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.
Unfortunately, this Help text does not state exactly, when it will be possible to delete after import and when not. -
How to delete photo's from both Iphoto and source (external HD) at the same time
I've seen a few postings on this but none seem to answer the quetion. Sorry if this is a duplicate and I coudn't find the answer.
I have an external HD with over 4GB of pictures in various folders and subfolders. I would like to import one folder at a time and go through the photo's using iPhoto to choose which ones I want to keep and which ones I don't. If I come accross a picture I don't like I would like to delete it in iPhoto and at the same time have it deleted from my external HD. I have tried the following with no success:
1. Import photo's to iPhone and delete photo's I don't want. I did this in the photo's view, not events or albums.
2. After deleting the photo's I empited the iPhoto recyling bin which then sends the photo's to my Macbook pro recycle bin
3. I then emptied the macbook pro recyle bin.
From what I've read this is how you're supposed to be able to delete photo's permantently form you HD or External HD. The photo's I delete never end up getting erased from my external HD though. So now I'm still stuck with a back up of a bunch of pictures I don't want on my external HD. They are gone from iPhoto but this doesn't help or avoid taking up space. This only cleans up iPhoto library but not my actual external HD.
So am I correct that there actually isn't any way to do this other than going through the photo's on my external HD using Finder and deleting them before importing to iPhoto?A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates. Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1. It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos. You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available. You can arrange photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available. When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe.
A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.
