Deleting Photos from Album AND photo library?

I Have a few album with hundreds of photos in each, that I no longer want on my iPhone, when I open the album I have the option I delete the album but the pictures will stay in the camera roll / photo library. Is there anyway I can delete all photos within the album also?

In the photos app programming from what it understands photos in a album are a short cut to the real photos

  • Photos disappear from Album and Photo webpages in iWeb after publishing.

    I just installed iWeb 9. I made some great new photos albums and blogs and published. After 4 unsuccessful attempts and publishing errors, I finally got the new web pages published. When I go back into iWeb, the photos on the album page are gone. All the photos from the photos page are also gone! The Albums page, which had 10+ albums now has 1 space that says, "Drag album here."
    The website shows the photos as I would expect. I thought this was a fluke, and started from scratch, recreated the pages, made sure my iWeb patches were up to date... Same thing... No photos in iWeb.
    The Blog doesn't seem to have this problem. Only the Albums and Photos webpages.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

    My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    Again, the photo sync is one way.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
    Not good.  You can e-mail the photos from your iphone.  You do not need to have phoe service for this.  The iphone uses wi-fi.  The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

  • Can't find Master Photo from Album Version Photo

    I've just installed Aperture and imported my iPhoto library. From my reading I've learned that photos can only be in one project at a time. They also have to be in a project. At least that is my understanding.
    Some of the imports have the context menu option of "Show in Project" while being viewed in an album but when selected the browser area is empty. At first I thought maybe I was looking at a Master in an Album. But that's not possible is it? Is it not true that a Master MUST BE in a project. (Not an album.)
    The iPhotos were brought in as projects and put under a folder called Events. If I select that, I can find my photo that was in an album but using search. I'm guessing that this is the Master? I still don't know how to find the project it's in other than go searching through each Project under the folder Events.
    Have I done something wrong with the import? I set it up to bring everything in to Aperture. (Managed)
    I'd really like to be able to "go to" the Master and Project of any picture I'm looking at in an album. I just tried to create a new version from the Master while in the Album view. That worked. So it would appear that the link is still there. But to where that link is or to what Project it is pointing to, for many of my photos, I don't know.
    Is there a way to link these Version photos in albums back to their respective Projects?

    Thanks for the reply CalxOddity.
    I have 449 projects, some of those created since the import but most from the iPhoto import. These projects "created" during the Import for the most part have names like Jun 21, 2010 or Roll 128. Most have little meaning to me. I suspect these were the default iPhoto "Event" names?
    I never really used iPhoto "Events" but rather imported into "Photos" and then used Folders and Albums to organize from there in iPhoto.
    Yes, I can see the images in the newly created from iPhoto Projects. In fact, they are all contained in a folder called Events and when I click on that I can see all of them. (Except for the ones in that album that wouldn't let me context click and select the "Show in Project" option.
    I may have corrected the situation.
    I had quite a few pictures of a 1994 Honda Prelude SI I used to own. They were all in an Album but "Show in Project" didn't work. However, in that case, I also have an imported Project by the same name as the Album under the Folder named Events.
    Events (Folder) / 1994 Honda Prelude SI (Project) <-- Imported from iPhoto.
    No photos were showing in that project but that's where they should have been. One of the few times I used Events in iPhoto I suppose.
    So, I drug the photos from the Album to that project. They went. I can't remember if I had to drag them back to the Album but now in the Album, I can context click and select "Show in Project" and I'm taken to that project instead of an empty browser window.
    Anyway, the short answer to your how do I use the Albums for is organization. Everything was done with Folders and Albums with little interest in "Events" in iPhoto. Maybe that was a mistake? In Aperture, I've continue my Folder and Album ways. To me, I think of a Project as a place to hold the original, the Master image. I'm obviously not a pro and I'm not really trying to be. I just want to learn more about photo editing and photography in general.
    Say, if I created a project called "iPhoto Import" and then selected all images under the Events folder and moved them to the new project, would I not be putting all my iPhoto Imports in one place? One big project? Seems like that action would correct any more like issues I haven't found yet. And since I do all my organization with Folders and Albums I could delete the Events Folder after and clean up all those meaningless projects. Thoughts? Feel free to take me to task on my organization method or lack thereof.

  • Missing photos from album, Missing photos from album

    I have spent hours and hours sorting out my library into albums. iPhoto froze and I had to reboot. When it came back on it had lost some of the photos from the albums I was working on. As I was sorting the photos I was flagging them so that I would know where I was up to in my vast library. All the photos are still in the library and are still flagged. So it makes no sense to me and I am totally frustrated at having lost hours of work. I have no way of knowing now which photos have been dropped from any one album and will have to unflag the whole library and start again. For example I know one album had over 80 photos sorted into it, now it has 33. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know if I can somehow restore the albums.

    I have so far flagged 1806 photos which means i should have 1806 photos across the albums but i have 1938 in the albums now)
    There may be now a few photos appearing in more than one album - a photo can appear in more than one album.
    But I am glad you could restore your albums.
    If you are working for a long time on a project, you might consider to quit iPhoto occasionally, to force it to save the databases.
    iPhoto froze and I had to reboot.
    Do you know, why iPhoto froze? Have you installed new software lately or upgraded software?
    Are you perhaps running low on disk space? Make sure, you have plenty of free disk space; don't let it drop below 20GB, or the operating system will have problems and gradually slow down. Ultimately this can cause system crashes and data loss.

  • Can't remove photos from album? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    Can't remove photos from  Aperture album unless I send them to Trash? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
    I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

  • My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to version 7.0.2 ( not that I want to after reading all the horror stories).  My memory is 23.3gb available and ap is 3.3gb and....twice I've deleted pics from album and they are still there !

    My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to 7.0.2 (not that I want to after the horror stories) but I would like your advice on what to do. It's not memory because I have 23.3gb available. Also, my delete button in photos does not appear to be working.  I've deleted several pics twice and lo and behold, still there. My question is should I even upgrade to 7.0.2, what happens if I do not ?  And how do I get that delete button to delete ?  When first purchased, worked fine. Now....problems. Also, don't like the idea of having to pay for their support such as one time support question for $19.99 ?  Really ? Don't they all make enough $$ off the users of their products ? Okay, that's me last question.  Hope you can help me !  Thank you !

    If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

  • Deleting Photos From iPhoto And Disk

    I just bought my first Mac 4 days ago, and still learning all the applications on it. I'm setting up iPhoto '09 and just finished importing my photo collection, and realized theres a lot I want to delete, is there a way to delete them from both the iPhoto library and the HD at the same time? I'm using the default "Copy Items To iPhoto Library Option"
    Thanks In Advance

    I'm using the default "Copy Items To iPhoto Library Option"
    Yes it does if you're using the default setting.
    However, where are you dragging the photos from - and to?
    If you drag a pic from an Album to the trash, it removes it from the Album only, not the Library.
    So you must drag from the Library - that is either an Event or Photos view.
    Then, you must drag it to the iPhoto trash on the left hand pane - not the Trash on the Dock
    Then you must empty it.
    Note: if you have files on your HD that you then imported to the Library, well iPhoto copied them there, right? What iPhoto trashes is the file +inside the Library+ not the ones you already had on the disk. iPhoto will not do anything to a file outside its library.
    If you're doing all this correctly then you might have a damaged DB. Where are you seeing these files left after trashing?
    Regards

  • Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library

    Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library. The only way to trash photos is to go to the library/photos and trash from there which is a bit annoying!

    If you click the arrow in the right lower corner of the photo in the album, you should see the Trash can. Is it not there?
    Or use the key combination option-command-delete  ⌥⌘⌫  .

  • Deleting photos from iphoto and hard drive

    I'm new to macs and have been reading a lot about this subject but I still don't get it.
    When I got this new macbook I dumped all my photos from the old PC onto the new hard drive. When I import photos into iPhoto, I left the advanced tab  "copy items to the iPhoto library" unticked. This I understand means I'm running a referenced library. Now when I want to delete a photo from iPhoto, I must delete it from events and then empty the trash. Should I expect the deleted photo to have been removed form the hard drive location from where it was imported originally since I asked iPhoto not to copy the file?

    This I understand means I'm running a referenced library.
    Correct.
    Now when I want to delete a photo from iPhoto, I must delete it from events and then empty the trash.
    Correct. That removes it from iPhoto.
    Should I expect the deleted photo to have been removed form the hard drive location from where it was imported originally since I asked iPhoto not to copy the file?
    No. When you opted to not copy the file you said, in effect, "I want to do my own file management". So that means you get the files from the camera yourself, decide where to store them yourself and now, must delete them yourself.
    It's but one of the reasons experienced users recommend against reference libraries.

  • I uploaded my photos to my computer.  I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone.  I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.

    Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.
