Deleting photos/formatting SD card after use in Canon T1i

So once my Canon Rebel T1i formats my SD card in it's default state with two directories (DCIM/Canon) I have no permissions on the card other than "read only." This came up out of no where and now I can't delete images off of it in iPhoto (or the computer for that matter). I can reformat it in my Windows computer but this defeats the purpose of having them auto delete once imported. I am running the latest build of Lion and have a PNY profressional series SD card.
Help please.

You may have been able to try and use Disk Utility to repair file damage on
the SD card's storage; but the actual damage due to improper unmounting
in the first instance is carried over to the last. So corruption of them is likely.
There may be some third party utility for helping restore or recover data
from these camera flash memory cards, that may help. Sometimes, it
may be possible to see if the OS X Disk Utility can try to fix the files, but
that may also change them or make them unrecoverable by another kind
of utility. While I don't have experience recovering lost or erased images
from camera memory cards, I do know such software utilities for just this
purpose do exist. Initially, a few years ago, I noticed a freeware utility was
offered as well as a few shareware downloads that would work, for a fee.
Maybe that is the direction to check into, and see if you can repair and
recover the images which were subject to damage or corruption due to
the improper unmounting and remounting of the SD. These items act
just like any external hard disk drive, and need to be handled the same.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hp 10 plus can't delete photos on SD card from tablet Gallery or Photos

    Cannot delete photos on SD card from Gallery or Photos apps. Process says photo deleted but it is still on the SD card!

    Hey @JPLAR ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Sounds like you're running KitKat. If you're using Android 4.4 please see the following:
    KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood.
    How can I get Android KitKat to work with my SD cards?
    I would suggest trying a different app like ES File Explorer or something similar. KitKat permissions do not allow manipulation of files that are not in the same install directory as the app itself. The Gallery app is on the internal storage while the data is on your SD card, hence the issues.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to not delete photos on memory card once uploaded to iphoto??

    Hello!
    I have checked the box that said DELETE PHOTOS ON MEMORY CARD ONCE UPLOADED ON IPHOTO, and I did check "don't ask me again"... and now I do not know how to undo this mistake I made.
    Please help?
    Thanks!!

    What OS and version of iPhoto  --  prior to Lion
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Delete Files on CF Card After Downloading?

    Brand new to Lightroom. I didn't see an option when downloading pix from my CF card to delete them from my card after downloading. What am I missing?

    Having a back up strategy is an important part of the overall workflow. It's best to think of it right from the import stage. LR allows you to back up to another drive on import, which is a feature that I love.
    A back up strategy is not just for an importing disaster, what if your hard drive crashes (and they do that sometimes). It may sound like being over cautious but... what if...
    Here's a couple of good links to Scott Kelby's blog about what can happen and a his suggested back up strategy.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

    Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app.  When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

  • [SOLVED]Formatting the USB after using DD

    Hi, I can't format the USB after using DD, but it doesn't work. I zeroed the partition like written in the wiki, but when I try to make the fs it says that the partition doesn't exist. The system doesn't recognize the USB at all. I used the windows version of DD

    You need to partition it; why would you use the windows version of anything?

  • How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

    acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

  • I delete photos from iPhoto but after backing up my computer they are back! How do I stop that?

    I delete photos from iPhoto but when I back up my computer the library rebuilds them!

    After I do a backup it rebuilds the iPhoto.
    How do you back up and what is the "it" that rebuilds iphoto? Do you mean this process of arching/deleting? It may have damaged your Library.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.  
    Regards
    Going forward: another way of archiving:
    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.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do I remove photos from memory card after I have uploaded photos?

    We have iPhoto 11.  How do delete photos from a memory card after they have been uploaded in to iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    delete the iPhoto preference file
    HOWEVER a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    If you continue letting the computer delete your photos you will lose them sooner or later
    You pays your money and makes your choice - but you are playing a very risky game with no rewards

  • Recovery deleted photo (without SD card)

    hello everybody! my father had deleted the photo on his phone... I am triyng to recover them, but i cannot connect the phone as phisycal drive.. it appears as network drive.. how can i do? i have windows 7 ultimate..thanks to all.

    When you connect the phone to your computer it should be seen as a physical drive. You should see two drives. One is the SD card and the other is the internal memory of the phone.
    For this to work, make sure you have Z10 the drivers installed. By installing the Link sofware the drivers are automatically installed when the Z10 is connected.
    As for SD cards, when data is erased, it is not like with DOS and some operating systems where only the header ID flag in the directory table is changed, and the data is intact until some other data writes over it. The deleted flag tells the OS that the space
    is available and the space can be overwritten with new data.
    In Windows when a file is normally deleted it is flagged to be part of the Waste Bin folder which is designed as a system folder. The file is not really deleted while in the Waste Bin Folder. It is in a sense re-alocated. When you tell the waste bin utility
    to delete the file, then it overwrites it entirely with the equivalent of 0's. This makes the file securely deleted. 
    With SD cards the system is different. There is no waste area for the files. There is no easy access to re-set the delete flag. If you did more writing to the card, the flagged data can be easily over written. There are some utility programs out there that
    claim to be able to undelete files on the SD card. You will need a Windows computer and a card reader to do this. I found some software that are supposed to be able to do this. I never used them, or know if they will charge a fee to use it once it claims it
    can undelete the file.

  • Deleting photos from Sony Action Cam using desktop computer

    Hi Simple question and there will hopefully be a simple answer: How to delete selected photos from my Action Camera using a desktop computer? This is obviously one of the most basic things I should be able to do without having to post a question. Now I can only delete photos via smartphone or live-view which is slow and annoying.  ThanksS

    Hi Upeer, 
    Welcome to the Sony Community!
    To delete photos or videos using a computer, make sure that the camera is securely connected and USB shows on the screen of the camera. Open Computer/My Computer. You should be able to see Removable Drive. Open Removable Drive and then open DCIM folder. Inside the DCIM folder, it will contain another folder, just open it and you will see all the photos and videos recorded in the memory card of the camera. You can highlight the files you want to remove using the delete button on the keyboard. 
    For further assistance regarding your concern, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

    I hit delete photos when importing from SD card to iPhoto.  Lost everthing that was current.  (All the old photos were still on).  How can I recover my photos (taken yesterday)?

    media recover - the free download will tell you what can be recovered - you have to purchase to actually recover the photos

  • Delete Photos with a twist / After installing iCloud

    I'm struggling here. I have read all the information on how to delete pictures, but they are all making the assumption you are not using iCloud, or are trying to delete from the Photo Stream - that isn't my case.
    Here's my situation:
    1. I am using an iPAD1, iOS5, also using iCloud
    2. My Host PC is also synced up using iCloud for my iPAD
    3. I had photos on my iPad from before I upgraded to iCloud, and they are all on my iPad
    4. Now that I'm on iCloud, I cannot just unsync an Album as all those settings are now gone since I'm using iCloud, I have no options anymore in iTunes, the iPad shows up in iTunes, but I cannot do anything other then import my Photo Steam.
    How do I delete photos off my iPad with this scenerio? I want a bunch of the old photos on my iPad gone, but this seems like it might be impossible.
    Appreciate any help in advanced.
    -Duhg

    How does this relate to iPhoto? sounds like a question for some other forum - iPad? iCloud (if there is one)? iTuens for the PC?
