Deleting photos and no pics in photostream on iPad 3

I see from other discussion sites that this is a problem with photos that have been uploaded from computer. They need to be deleted by re-synching. I have done this and photos are still there. Also, I have no pictures in photostream on iPad. This is quite frustrating.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

Permanently Deleting Photos and Folders from iPhoto

I just purchased my first iMac on April 2, 2008 and simply love it. Goodbye Windows. WooHoo...
OK, now for my question. I am a semi-professional photographer that commonly takes about 500-1,000 photos during any given photo shoot. Normally (on Windows with Adobe Photoshop), I would load all 1,000 photos into my Adobe Catalog and review them. After a few days of edits and review, I may only want to keep the best 50-100 photos and I delete the others. But when I use iPhoto, even if I delete the 900 extra photos from my Library, they still sit in the iPhoto Library folders and take up space. I have opened the iPhoto Library Package and can see the Data, Modified and Original folders with all of the unwanted files, but I was advised by Apple Support to NEVER delete or remove files by opening the iPhoto "Package".
Is there any way to physically remove the unwanted photos from iPhoto once they are in my iPhoto Library, or do I need to edit and review them outside of iPhoto before I load them into the iPhoto Library which seems to be a permanent thing?
This is a common process for photographers who take a lot of photos. It's nice to be able to review and edit them before deciding on the best ones to keep. Surely there must be an option from within iPhoto that would physically removed the deleted photos and update the iPhoto Library correctly, without having to open the iPhoto Package and risk corrupting the Library.
Since each photo will be between 4MB (jpg) to 10MB (RAW) in size, do I need to use another application for my initial sorting, review and editing, then only import into iPhoto the "Keepers"? If so, what application should I be using?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As stated above:
Put the pics in the iPhoto trash and then iPhoto Menu -> Empty the Trash
This removes the pics from iPhoto and the Hard Drive.
A couple of notes:
1. You need to be in the Library view to do this. If you delete from an album it only removes the pics from the Album. To put pics from an Album directly into the trash use the -delete keystroke
Are you sure that you're in the Library View? This is the most common reason this doesn't work. On a longer shot there may be minor issues with your HD, but first make sure that you're in the Library View when deleting.
Also, I want to have iPhoto write the "Modified" version of my images on top of the "Original"... to save HD space. Can that be done?
No. iPhoto preserves your Original file no matter what. This is hardwired into the application and there is no easy way to defeat it.
You may export all your pics from iPhoto. Empty out the iPhoto Library (put the pics in the trash, empty the trash) then re-import the one previously exported. But this is long winded and will need to be done as your library grows. And, of course, this will defeat the Non-Destructive editing feature of iPhoto.
You can run a library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder 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.
Of, if you don't want your Original file preserved, then simply don't use iPhoto. There are alternatives out there. Search on MacUpdate.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
Thanks again for your replies.

HT4236 how do i delete photo's in my library on my ipad? i imported them from my itouch.

How do i delete photo's in my library on my ipad? Delete shows up in red and will not let me select it. I imported the photos to my computer then to my ipad via itunes.

How?
I am travelling for 5 weeks from hotel to hotel relying on wifi for internet access for my iPad.
There are no computers to use to access iTunes.
I bought a wifi hard disk as a back up for the multitude of photos I have taken both by the iPad and my camera.
So the idea is to load from the SD card to the iPad, transfer to the HDD and/Dropbox and then delete from iPad, leaving the original copy on the SD card and a back on either or both the HDD and Dropbox.
I can backup and delete photos from the camera role.
I can import the photos from the cameras SD card using the apple dongle to my iPad but these do not become part of the camera roll.
I can then back up to either or both the wifi hard disk or Dropbox
BUT, once I have backed them up I can not remove them from the iPad.
The result is that the iPad got fuller and fuller, I had to delete all my music, all the videos I had loaded to watch when there was no English TV until my iPad got too full so for the last couple of weeks there has been no backups at all except for camera roll to dropbox.

HT4858 How can I find deleted photos , but kindly be informed that my iPad was not updated during shooting the photos

I've created three different albums to put the photos from the photo stream and as soon as I put each photo in its album , i deleted the moved and selected photos , later on I could not find either the deleted photos and videos or the photos put in the created albums

Welcome to the Apple community Shady99.
Are you sure you created a shared album and not a camera roll album.

HT201317 I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted photos and turned off. It's using my data minutes and I'm over my usage because its always downloading mode

I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted all photos and turned off. It is always in downloading mode. It's using my data minutes

Okay, I figured it out.
I would clear the cache while the page was still being viewed in a window, and for some reason that didn't actually clear the cache. So that's the browser's being a good little browser, but it's annoying because it should clear everything.
iWeb also has a problem in that is tells pages to cache forever, so the browsers are only doing what they're told.
Close the window, clear the cache, good to go.

IPhoto 6 delete photos and count increases

I'm deleting photos from the library (not an album), and have emptied the trash. But the photo count keeps increasing. Help!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Clarification: Is that iPhoto 08? Or iPhoto 09

Removing "Deleted Photos to Remove" from Flickr Photostream

Some time ago I had uploaded one collection of photos through Flickr photostream.
Tonight I set up a second collection to upload. I edited the connection to change from "Public" to "Family and Friends" for this upload. It asked me whether to change previous photo permissions or not. At first I said yes. Then I thought it over, especially after a popup box told me that all ratings and comments would be deleted since I had a free Flickr account. Given that, I decided not to change them. So I went into the Flickr photostream window in LR4 (I have not yet published) and when I saw all the previous photos there to be republished, I selected them and deleted them, to avoid having them re-uploaded.
Unfortunately, it didn't have that effect. It put them in a group called "Deleted photos to Remove." I don't want them removed from Flickr. But I can't seem to get them out of this category so I can publish the new photos without removing them. How do I get rid of these images from this window so they won't be removed from Flickr when I upload the new images? Thanks.

Your response is extremely helpful. I began to understand that apparently I was in fact mixing Flickr & LR terminology, even though I didn’t realize it. Given that, you did a remarkable response. I can see that before going further, I need to clear up definitions and terminology.
As background, in the simplest terms I’m thinking of a collection as a catalog section that contains pointers to images (actual or virtual copies) as well as relevant metadata. With that, here’s what I see.
Publish Services Panel. Seems to be only an organizational tool for the program interface.
Publish Service. Hard Drive, Facebook, and Flickr seem to be examples of Publish Services. However I can right-click on Flickr and create another published service on Flickr. So what is a Publish Service, exactly, and why would you want more than one Flickr Publish Service? Perhaps because each Publish Service has its own set of parameters, meaning you could set one Flickr service to Public Sharing and another to Friends and Family. Or you could have different settings for export to Hard Drive? Or, you could set up to publish to an entirely different Flickr account? I’m guessing a Publish Service is simply code/parameters tailored uniquely to each place where you may want to publish?
Photoset. Because initially I right-clicked on the Flickr Publish Service and had the option to create a Photoset or Smart Photoset, I thought Photoset was a LR term connected with the Publish function. I now see if I right-click on Facebook, I get a different set of options – create Collection or Smart Collection. So probably Photoset is a Flickr term, not a LR term? (I’ve used Flickr very sparingly to this point.) I see why that led to confusion.
Publish Connection. Going to Publishing Manager allows me to set up a Publish Connection within the Publish Service. Oddly, when I do that, it seems to set up a second instance of the Publish Service. I’m tempted to think, therefore, that a Publish Service is the specific code tailored uniquely to where I want to publish, and the Publish Connection are the parameters used with that specific instance of the Publish Service?
Collection or Photoset. If I click on a collection under Facebook, or a Photoset under Flickr, I see the relevant photos in the grid, divided into the appropriate categories. (Is this what you mean by Publish Window?) So, what am I looking at? I thought I would be looking at a collection (regardless of what Flickr or Facebook might call it). I would have thought of it as a Publish Collection (pointers to images contained in it, metadata as to the update status of those images, etc.). Based on your comment above, I gather that’s not the case. You say I’m looking at output. I’m not sure what output means in this context. If it’s not a collection, is it a set of images generated on the fly based on the collection? If that’s the case, where do I see the actual Publish collection or smart collection?
Well, that's far more than enough for one post, but I bit the bullet and included it since it was all related. I'll let other items wait since right terminology and defintions are fundamental. I appreciate your help with what for me has been one of the most cryptic parts of LR, and one which is not dealt with in any depth in any of the LR books I have.

HT4528 How do I recover deleted photos and videos from my iphone?

Hi
My toddler deleted some videos and photos from my iPhone. My iCloud was not switched on at that time. Is there anyway I can recover those deleted videos and photos?

If you have synced the iphone while the pics were present then you may be able to restore from backup.
Otherwise they are gone.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
