Deleting Photos in Lightroom 2.1 for Mac

I use 2.1 on Mac OS 10.5, recently having changed over from Windows. In the Library module, if I select all then go to delete the photos, it will only remove one at a time. I feel stupid even asking this, but what am I doing wrong?

Make sure you are in grid view. Just like in the PC version in zoom view it will only delete one at a time.

  • Can't import photo's (RAW Nikon D810) in Lightroom 5.7 for MAC

    Can't import photo's (RAW Nikon D810) in Lightroom 5.7 for MAC.
    Is there an alternative?

    I used Nikon Transfer to transfer the photofiles from the CompactFlash (by card reader) to my IMac.
    As DJ said, this could be your problem.  If you still have the photos on the card transfer them WITHOUT using Nikon Transfer (then I would delete Nikon Transfer so I wouldn't use it again).  If you don't have the originals than this may help.

  • Import problems in Lightroom cc 2015 for Mac

    In Lightroom cc 2015 for Mac, import won't automatically start even though that box is checked in Preferences and when I manually start import the thumbnails are poor quality and when I check on one instead of getting larger it gets very small.

    1. At what point does the import fail?  When you click to go into the import dialog?  At some point while viewing the import dialog?  Or after you click the Import button in the import dialog?
    My scenario:  If the SD card contains mixed media (i.e. photos (jpg or raw) + MOV), when I click on File > Import Photos and Video, the thumbnail previews start to load and about 10 seconds later LR becomes unresponsive... this goes on for several minutes (I assume this is based on the amount of media on the card) after which time I get an error message from LR saying there were problems with the following files: (and it goes on to list only the MOV files).  After I get this message, I am able to successfully import the photos only.
    2. Can you import a single photo from a location on your local hard drive?  (this helps eliminate whether the problem is with a specific card, card reader, or mixed media situation).
    I have tried with multiple SD cards from 2 different cameras (Canon and Olympus) with the same EXACT behavior.
    3. What does the failure look like?  Is it a lock (Lightroom is running, but doesn't respond to mouse clicks, etc.)?  Is it a crash (Lightroom shuts down unexpectedly)?  Is it a failed import, but Lightroom continues to run?  Is there any error message?
    See #1 above.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush not working

    Hi all, since updating to Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush has stopped working entirely. I can open the menu and it does display the brush within the menu. When dragging the tool into the image it changes to the mouse arrow which doesn't have any function. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help. Chris

    And- do you actually press or hold down the left-mouse button and drag the cursor on the image? as you would a paint brush. A 'Pin' will appear where you start the brush stroke.
    And- Is it possible that you have the switch at the base of the brush panel sliders turned off ?   (The toggle switch on the same line as "Reset" and "Close")
    Pressing "O" only turns the overlay mask on/off to give a visual indication 'Where' you have applied the brush.
    Pressing "SHIFT+O" changes the colour of the MASK overlay- Red, Green, Grey, Clear
    "O" does not affect any editing of the image.

  • I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

    I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

    Ive had this and solved it an entirely different way very quickly.
    Connect the ipad to the imac (i assume its an imac);
    Fire up itunes;
    while thats happening create a new folder called EMPTY in your Pictures folder on the imac;
    go back to itunes;
    select the ipad;
    go to photos on the ipad;
    select SYNC FROM SELECTED FOLDER;
    select your EMPTY folder;
    then hit SYNC and the photos / videos in photo albums / the albums will all instantly disappear.
    We had 7.98 Gb of syncd fotos and videos on the ipad and tried all the more lengthy [and unsuccessful] ways suggested elsewhere.
    There was so little space we couldnt u/d the IOS !
    OK, so we werent bothered about keeping the fotos that were on the ipad (they'd all been filed in iphot on the imac so not 'lost').
    Nice to find a solution for yourself when you're a silver surfer in your mid '60's

  • Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC

    Trying to upgrade Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC. After downloading the dmg file, I can't seem to install the program. I get an error message that states, "The following disk images couldn't be opened. Lightroom_5L511.dmg not recognized."
    What do I need to do to be able to install the upgrade for Lightroom 5?
    *note I just installed OSX 10.8.4

    It's probably a corrupted download.  Try re-downloading.  If you're on a corporate network behind a proxy server, try finding reliable Internet ;-)

  • Deleting photos in Lightroom

    I know this must sound very dumb, but as a newbiee in Lightroom I am going a bit crazy here.
    When I flagged photos and delete them in Lightroom, they don't really get deleted, just excluded from the lightroom browser.
    How can I delete them for reals, as in GONE from the computer all together?
    Thanks

    Thanks Damian.
    Ok, I am not in a "collection" and still that option "delete vs remove" doesn't ALWAYS present itself. It is pretty random. I believe I have done the same procedure, flag, show flagged, select all, delete and sometimes the option comes, sometimes not. Even so, the original files (copied when I imported into lightroom, so the original copies) are still sitting on my HD taking up space. How can they be deleted as I "delete" them from lightroom (again, I know it is obvious, choosing "delete" over remove but sometimed I did and they did NOT get deleted. And again, sometimes the option is not even presented ("delete vs remove"). I even used "control delete (I am on a Mac).
    After "deleting" hundreds os images (I thought I had) I went back to every single keyword category I had to find all my flagged files there again! I couldn't believe it. So selected them all once again, "deleted" (by pressing delete key. no option was offered me). Sure enough, the flagged files are now gone from the LR browser but STILL sitting on my HD. So now I can't even get to them via LR browser again if someone can tell me how to REALLY delete them? As in, the flagged files don't show up as I deleted them many times (going back, repeating the procedure) and they now seem to be gone (from the browser,m but again sitting on my damm HD).
    How do I get to them again in LR (flagged ones) and deleted them from the HD forever?
    This seems so simple yet so complicated?
    Am I completely crazy?
    Thanks a LOT for any help with this... It is absolutely baffling me.

  • Restoring deleted photos from lightroom hard drive

    If my photos were deleted from my lightroom hard drive, what is the best method to re-import or restore my "back up photos" back into my drive and original catalog?

    I think it would depend on your catalog back ups and how the photos were deleted and how many. 
    If you have a back-up of the catalog before the files were deleted and it was your entire photographic catalog which was large is size , then you can do as DJ suggested.  It would probably be the fastest way.  After the photos are restored to their original location, you may have to go to File>Import from another catalog,  and then choose the folder location of your backups and select the most recent. 
    If you are speaking of just a few photos, or maybe just one folder, you can simply restore the files on your PC or MAC, and re-import using Add.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to delete contacts in skype 7.5 for Mac?

    I cannot delete contact on skype for MAC. There are several posts marking this as resolved suggesting the following, none of which works:
    going to the "All" contact lists and pressing backspace:  absolutelty nothing happens;
    right-clicking the contact: there is no option to delete a contact, only to block;
    highlighting the contact and going to the Contacts menu item at the top of the screen: the delete contact option is there, but it is unaccessible (in light grey);
    So, how can I delete a contact?

    Regarding Mac contacts: that option is not possible on my skype. It is there, but in light grey, and it is not ticked (and I cannot tick it even if I want to). >> You say you haven't linked Facebook and Skype. Can you tell us if there is a "Facebook" item in the contact group list? In the sidebar choose "Contacts," then look at the bar below the toolbar and to the left of "Add Contact." There is no "Facebook" item in the contact group list. >> Have you tried deleting a contact using a different platform's Skype client? iOS or Android or Windows, for example? I do not have a Windows machine. In iOS for iPad I only had the "Block" option, no delete. I do not have it installed in Android, and do not want to do it. Best,

  • All of a sudden when sending photos from lightroom to photoshop for merging, I get "photo merge.jsx could not be found.  I have used this previously without trouble

    I have been working on photos in Lightroom for months and making panoramas in photoshop from lightroom without any problem.  All of a sudden, today, I get a message when I try to send photos to photoshop "Photmerge.jsx could not be found"
    Anyone know where it is?  I don't find these words in my photoshop CS4 anywhere.  Help!
    I tried to use an old catalogue that I've used to make panoramas with photoshop many times and I get the same message. 

    I'm in the same boat...so far no one has helped here

  • How do I create a 20x30 JPEG custom photo collage in LR 5 for Mac?

    Hello - I am trying to create a custom layout for a 50th anniversary collage in LR 5 for Mac.  However, my page setup only includes print sizes that are compatible with my printer.  I plan to save this layout in JPEG to be uploaded to a photo finishing company.  I want to start with the large-size canvas but I can't figure out how to do it.  I will not be using any of the installed templates.  I plan to organize the photos one by one in a custom way.  Can this be done in large format?

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • Can't delete photos from Lightroom 2

    Hi all,
    My first post here.
    I am having trouble deleting photos from my hard drive through Lightroom 2. It will remove the "Rejected" photos from the catalogue, but will only sporadically delete them from my hard drive. I've tried a number of solutions I read about on-line: deteting from the bottom filmstrip only rather than the grid, using Ctrl+backspace, etc. but nothing works. Or I should probably say that nothing works consistently. I also cannot find any pattern as to when it does delete them properly -- the last few days nothing has worked. Do I just have to live with this, or have any of you out there figured out?
    I've also checked the properties of these files in Explorer -- they are not "Read only" nor are they "Hidden". I've made sure that I'm in the Library module, Grid view selected, all filters are off, and I've tried deleting them from individual folders as well as the "All Photographs" option. The last couple of days, all I can get is a message like "There are 203 files that cannot be deleted."
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Take care.

    I think I saw this once, with a few rejects (only with Lr 2.) It would show me the reject grid view without any images, but I could still see them in the library grid as rejected.  Eventually I was able to reject them, but I don't remember what I did, other than ignore it and hope it went away eventually.
    You can do nutty stuff like unflag the images (maybe make a collection first, so you don't lose them in your library) and then delete some or all of them from the filesystem.  Then let Lr complain about the missing files and make the gesture that drops them from the catalogue. It really depends if this problem is related to the underlying unlink operation or some database integrity issue.
    I used to regularly SQLite vacuum my catalogue, too, so if it is catalogue related, perhaps that shook things loose.
