Deleting photo's from hard disk

I'm a new Aperture user, converting from Adobe. Adobe had a feature where I could delete a junk picture inside Adobe and it would also delete it from the hard drive. How do I do that with Aperture?

Hi
If you have a referenced library make sure that you select 'Move referenced files to System Trash' when emptying the trash in Aperture. If you then also empty the System Trash the file will get physically deleted from your drive.

  • Deleting i-tunes from hard disk

    When I delete a song from my library, there is no pop-up option to delete the song from my hard disk. I need to free up space. I am using the Windows XP portion of my Mac. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    Do you keep your songs in the iTunes Music folder, the location of which is set in Edit>Preferences>Advanced in Windows or do you use another folder of your own making? iTunes will delete songs from the library and move them to Trash (Recycle Bin) only if they are in the iTunes Music folder. (iTunes will ask if you want to trash the file if this is the case, it doesn't trash it automatically). If your songs are kept outside of this folder then deleting only removes the reference to the song from the library and you have to go to the folder they are located in to trash the file itself.

  • Deleting photo file from hard drive

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to delete items (photos) from both the iPhoto library and my hard drive, but I don't seem to be able to. After I delete items from the iPhoto library, the files are still on the hard drive... (I did empty the trash and I did delete the items from the Library folder)
    Note: I just started using iPhoto. I already had a large (?) (9000+ items) library of photos that I keep on an external firewire hard drive. I did not use the "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" function, because a) I didn't want to wait for the system to copy all 9000 images, b) my internal hard drive isn't really big enough to store all these images and c) I'd like to keep using other software (Photoshop, stich software, etc.) to view, open and edit my images.
    I like using iPhoto, it seems faster than what I've been using and I like the clean interface, but if I can't use iPhoto to both view and delete images it might not be the software I'm looking for...
    My apologies if this question has been answered prior - I just searched and couldn't find an answer.
    Thanks for all help!

    Unfortunately the "Show File" or "Show Original File" command doesn't seem to work when more than one file is selected... (the program just points to one of the selected files). Is there a workaround?
    No, I think you'll need to do it one at a time.
    How would I specify more than one external application (e.g. Photoshop and a panorama stitching app)
    No, you won't be able to set up more than one app at a time. The obvious one being to set up Photoshop. What I would do is export the pics for stitching and then import the resulting image as a new image - but that's just me.
    Saving an additional file is as simple either duplicating in iPhoto or using Save As in Photoshop and the importing the new file.
    You can download with Image Capture (in your Applications folder) and rename files with a batch renamer such as File List. iPhoto has no facility to rename files except on export as filenames are quite irrelevant within iPhoto. You can, of course, apply titles in iPhoto.
    As you say, perhaps the app is not for you - it's not right for everybody in every situation.

  • Deleting photos from hard disk

    Hi, I have all of my photos on my hard disk and external hard drive. After I back up onto DVDs I would like to delete all of them off of my Mac (to free up some space).
    My question is, will I still see the thumbnails without having to connect the external hard drive (I do a lot of photo editing).
    Also, is there a correct way to delete, or should I just drag them into trash.
    Finally, if I spotlight search a photo, several are found of the same photo - why is this and how can I clean it up.
    As you have probably realised, I am not completely computer savvy and would appreciate any answers in a "Jack & Jill" style
    Many thanks

    Macssonew:
    First, iPHoto creates a minimum of 2 versions of each photo imported into the library, the original and the thumbnail file. If you edit a photo in iPhoto a 3rd version is created in the Modified folder. You cannot change that. It's how iPhoto works.
    I need more info on how you have things set up before I can advise you what your options are. How is your library setup currently? Do you copy files into the library when importing? Does the library contain the image files that are on the external HD?
    For what I understand now, you might be better served with multiple libraries, one smaller library on your laptop with current photos and a larger library on the external HD with the remaining photos. You can copy events or albums between libraries with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager and keep keywords, comments, titles and any edited version intact.
    Or you might consider a more professional application, iView MediaPro, which can keep the "source" files on an external HD and have a catalog of them with thumbnails up to 640 x 480 on the laptop. You'd still be able to view the large thumbnails with the external HD not mounted assign keywords and other annotations, group into catalog sets or categories (albums in iPhoto), etc.
    Going the alias route has some big pitfalls. Without the source files available you can only see the thumbnails at their small size. You can't move them to albums or assign keywords. It's pretty limiting. If you have any video files in the library you won't be able to use it at all. iPhoto will continuously ask you to locate the video file. It can't operated with the video file missing as it can with the still image files missing.
    If you can describe exactly how things are set up and located we can better give you some ideas to pursue.
    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 written 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.

  • Use previous "Delete from hard disk" checked state?

    Is there any way for the program to use the previous "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk" checked state in the file deletion confirmation dialog?  It gets tedious to check it every time I want to delete a file and if I forget to do it I will have an extra file sitting on my hard disk not in my catalog.

    A quick shortcut that I use is to hit the spacebar (checks/unchecks the "delete from
    hard disk" option), then hit the enter key to complete the process.

  • I have limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk

    I have a limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk and just leave it on my 60Gb ipod, BUT I dont want to have to log in as a guest every time.
    Any suggestions

    Follow the instructions in this article and then delete the songs from your computer; they will not be deleted from the iPod automatically. You should have or make another copy of the songs before deleting them from the computer, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

  • Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!

    all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
    How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
    TIA!

    Hi Chris:
    2 part response:
    I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
    I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move.

    It's important to define deleted and recovery. You can recover file from the recycle bin using the Win API. Here's an
    example in C/C++. You need to

  • Delete photo's from organizer catalogue AND disk with one click?

    Hi,
    When deleting photo's from the organiser, PSE asks if i only want te remove the file from the organizer catalogue, or as well from the disk. In fact, i always want to do that. Now, it takes 2 clicks to confirm to delete a photo, which is time-consuming.
    is it possible to delete photo's from the organiser as well from the harddisk with one click? (or, just by clicking 'delete'.)

    fatmax3m wrote:
    Well, thats your opinion. IMHO, it's truly crappy. When sorting out photographs, en wanting to delete a hundred, it's really not convenient having to do all those extra clicks.
    I think Adobe should offer some tweaking features, for questions like this...
    But, thanx for the answer.
    If your main issue is to delete rapidly hundreds of files from disk, there are better ways in the Organizer. Did you notice that deleting a single file from catalog and disk is slow ? Even  deleting a dozen of selected files from disk (a single additional click) is slow. So, the best choice is to work in two steps. The first one is to select all the files to be deleted (a hundred, a thousand...) and mark them in some way : using the 'hide' feature, assigning a 'tobedeleted' tag (immediate even for dozens of selected files); then with all the files selected, delete from disk (and go drink a coffee...).
    I won't discuss the obvious question that those last methods let you check all possible deletions before committing the undoable choice

  • Adding music folder from hard disk to itunes causes the original music  to vanish

    what is causing itunes to delete original music folder from hard disk when selecting add folder to itunes

    iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes.   You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot).   I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

  • HELP moving photo's from hard drive with aperture to hard drive with iphoto

    I was trying to move the photo's from hard drive a with aperture to hard drive b and start using iphoto but I have had no luck. In aperture when I select relocate masters a error comes up and say's: unavailable master images cannot be relocated. Either offline or not found. I originally had the masters on a external hard drive, when I got divorced my ex took the external drive for her mac. I am able to view the photos but I don't know how to move them. Thanks

    I think you're missing the point - it's a question of where the images are, and it sounds a lot like the images are on the hard disk you used to own.
    Managed = you keep the images in the Aperture library
    Referenced = the images stay where they are on the hard disk and they're indexed in the library.

  • I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back!?

    I just deleted photo booth from my imac how do i get it back?

    Did you just remove it from the dock?
    If so, then it is still in your applications folder.
    If it is really deleted, then you need to get it back from your time machine back up if you have one or or from a OS install disk if you have one.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • Noise from hard disk

    Hi, everyone.
    I bought a new mackbook pro in this Jan. Recently, I hear some not continuously noise from hard disk, especially when i open a file in hard disk or verify the hard disk. Is something wrong with my hard disk?
    Thanks

    This hard disk clicking is a know problem for many laptops. If you search it on Google, you will find a lot of discussions about it in the Unbuntu Linux forums. In most cases, it is due to the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature of notebook hard drives. The default APM settings of these drives are aggressive so as to extend notebook battery life. As a consequence, the HD tries to park its actuator head to the ramp whenever it judges the system as idle. However, OS X or some third-party applications may access the hard disk quite often, resulting in a park/unpark cycle every few seconds.
    Every of these cycles is counted as one load/unload cycle. Most notebook drives support up to 600,000 load/unload cycles. If a hard drive parks its head every few seconds, it may shorten its life by "using up" the cycles more quickly.
    I had the same problem on my Powerbook with a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 80GB PATA drive. I heard the frequent clicking sound right after I installed it into the laptop. The SMART status appeared to be Verified, and there was no problem with the drive itself. After searching on Google and Hitachi web site, I found the causes and solved the problem using the Hitachi Feature Tool. For other HD brands, I have no experience at all.
    Basically, Travelstar 5K160 drives have three idle modes, from which a user can set one as the deepest idle state:
    1) Active Idle: the actuator head is parked near the center of the disk, and power usage is 45-55% less than performance level. Recovery time to active mode is about 20ms.
    2) Low Power Idle: this is usually the factory default idle mode. The head is UNLOADED to the ramp and the power consumption is 60-65% less than the performance level. Recovery time is about 300ms.
    3) Low RPM idle: in this idle mode, the hard disk will spin down to a lower RPM speed. More power is saved but recovery time is much longer. (I can hear the disk spin down and spin up again a few times per minute. There is also a lag in system reaction time.)
    To get rid of the hard disk clicking, you need to set Active Idle as the deepest APM idle mode. To do it on a Hitachi hard disk, you need Hitachi Feature Tool, and a Windows laptop with the same HD interface as your drive (PATA or SATA). Sadly, the feature tool is only for Windows and Linux.
    You can download Hitachi Feature Tool 2.10 as an ISO image here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#FeatureTool and burn it into a bootable CD. The userguide of the tool is available on the same page.
    Then, take out your hard drive from your Macbook and install it into a Windows laptop. Boot the machine using the Feature Tool bootable CD. Choose "Change Advanced Power Mode" from the drop-down menu.
    The default value is 128 (Low Power Idle). Just increase the value toward Performance, until you see the APM mode over the value bar becomes Active Idle (starting from 192). Click OK and Exit the feature tool. Switch off the Windows laptop and take out the hard disk. Install it into your Macbook. You will not hear the clicking sound again when system is idle. The lowest APM mode will be Active Idle and hence the drive will not park its head to the ramp during operions.
    If your hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160, you can find the 5K160 specifications version 1.1 from Hitachi web site. On page 69 of the document, it explains the APM idle modes. On page 145 about the register values of the APM modes.
    To set Active Idle as the deepest idle mode may adversely affect battery life. (I haven't yet tested it myself) However, there seem not to be a big difference than the Low Power Idle, according to the datasheet of 5K160. For this model, power consumption of Active Idle is 0.8W, while that of Low Power Idle is 0.6W, on average.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • VirtualBox from hard disk, nvidia glx conflict

    Howdy folks, I recently started getting into arch linux and set it up for dual booting. Being a graphics engine developer for multiple platforms I began to work on adding support for linux.
    What I was trying to set up was so that I can use VirtualBox to load my arch install from hard disk, which I have gotten running, so that I can use virtual box to test if things work when developing simultaneously for windows, and boot over to arch for performance optimization type stuff.
    The problem I am having however is that in VirtualBox I can not get the glx extensions to load, looking at the log file it's definitely trying to load the nvidia glx extensions. My PC has an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, so for proper support in arch I of course installed the drivers for it.
    As per suggested in the wiki I removed the xorg.conf (actually just renamed it), along with a few other files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that were causing problems in virtual box (mainly the 20-nvidia.conf file). I have verified it does boot into arch with full 3D support as it did when the xorg.conf was in place. But still having the problems getting the glx extension to load when inside VirtualBox.
    I would greatly appreciate any help ya'll can provide, being able to load my arch install from virtual box would make developing this graphics engine of mine so much easier. But I still want to be able to boot into arch. Having to use a VirtualBox instance booting from a virtual hard disk is a real pain since it add to the places I need to sync up source code.

    I think you misunderstood ngoonee. Just trying to get open gl working from within virtual box, I know it's only serving as a layer over the graphics stuff.
    The problem however is that to allow gpu acceleration when I boot into it, the nvidia driver will need to remain there. But it appears the glx in the nvidia driver will not play nice with what virtual box needs.
    Idea is to use the same arch install for both virtual box and the dual boot.
