Deleting photos in LR2.1 - No challenge box - READ!!

I notice since downloading Lightroom 2.1 that by hitting the delete key, the photo disappears without a challenge box ! Usually one is presented with options on deletion. I have not changed any of the settings and cannot find a setting to control the delete function. Is this a bug ????

That should only happen if you delete from a collection. The image will not actually be deleted from the Library, just removed from the collection.

  • Deleting photos off iphone

    i have recently purchased a iphone 3g and i have added my music and pictures to it. i have sinced realised that there is a photo album that i dont want on my phone and am wondering how to delete it. i have plugged my phone into itunes and tryed everything possible but there just doesnt seem to be a delete album button. can someone help.

    That really didn't answer the question. I had the original iphone and now the 3gs and had no problems until one of the last updates. It's like the 4 ruined it for us simplistic users. Now, your phone has "Albums" on it instead of the plain, old camera roll. That would be fine if it were user friendly.
    If you go to the information tabs and choose which photos (from your mac) you want to sync and choose an empty foler, the duplicate albums finally delete on the device. However, even if you do this and you are only left with the camera roll on the device, you can't delete the pics anymore. The bottom of the screen has only two tabs - albums & places (who really cares about places?!?). The top tabs has Albums and send. The phone used to have a trash can, a send (box w/arrow) and one other choice I can't recall. What happened. I would like to delete photos from the device as I go. How do I get the old screen or how do I delete photos off the device now?

    Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

    You should be able to do this via the iPad directly.  Open the Photos application and the forward arrow, then select all of the photos you want to delete and click the red delete button.

  • Delete photos from iPod Touch

    Need some help with this PLEASE!?
    I added some photos on my ipod touch by iTunes, & now I want to delete them but I don't know how. I tried to delete them on my ipod but I couldn't because they are in a new album & they also exist in another album on my ipod. The album names are: Photos & 2011, & when I tried to delete them on my ipod I couldn't there were no delete button.......What do I do???
    Because I need MAJOR help!

    On the iPod you can only delete photos taken by or saved to the iPod.  Those are the photos in the Camera Roll.  For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them.

    Are you sure there was no delete button. Is there a section under the photos when the album is open which looks like a box and an arrow coming out? If so click on it and then it is possible to delete the photos. Subsequently just go on itunes and when the ipod is connected go into photos, and simply choose the folders.

  • Unable to delete photos from my ipad2 .

    I am unable to delete photos from my ipad2. I am able to select the photos to delete but when I press the red delete button nothing happens. Is anyone else having this experience? Is there a known problem. Is there a solution?

    You don't say what type of photos - were they taken with the iPad or synced from your computer ?
    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (if you were able to delete them directly on the iPad, then the next time you synced photos they would be put back onto the iPad, unless you remembered to also remove them from your computer).

  • In Photos - how do I identify and delete photos only on my iphone after upgrading to photos?

    Upgraded to photos yesterday.  Connected iphone to mac.  IPhone in the sidebar shows 342 photos "already imported".  I would like to delete those photos on my iphone (as they are already in photos) but cannot see how to do so on either my mac or phone.  
    Secondary Q - What does the "open Photos for this device" checkbox do? 
    Thank you. 

    I don't see an easy way to delete previously imported items, but these step worked for me. Be careful to make sure you do have copies of all these photos before you decide to delete them again!
    1. Check the 'Delete items after import'.
    2. REIMPORT all the 'Already imported' items.
    3. Open the 'Last Import' album, and delete all those photos.
    For your Secondary question, when the "Open Photos for this device" box is checked, that means when you plug in that iPhone, the Photos app will open up automatically.

  • How do I get iPhoto to delete photos from my SD card?

    There was a time when I uploaded photos from an SD card into iPhoto, iPhoto would ask if I wanted to delete the images from the SD card after the upload finished. That is not happening any more. I have been through all of the iPhoto preferences and don't see anywhere to select an option to delete photos after an upload is done. I seem to remember there being a check box in the photo upload window I could check to indicate to delete the photos. I am not seeing that check box any more when I upload photos.
    I would prefer to delete the images through iPhoto than to use my camera to reformat my SD card.
    I am using iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Trashing the plist file will restore all options to the factory settings, so you should be asked again. That said, it's not wise.
    Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
    1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
    2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
    3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

  • Deleting photos from HD

    I see a lot of threads concerning deleting photos from the HD via iPhoto, but they all seem to be for previous versions of iPhoto, and none of those solutions seem to work for iPhoto 08.
    So... Does anyone know how to delete a photo permanently from the HD through iPhoto 08? The command - delete - empty trash thing does not work here!
    I have the photos stored on my HD in the Pictures directory under Places in Finder. Deleting them via iPhoto seems to be an impossible task!

    jkluker:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How are you determining that the photos are not getting deleted from the library? Is your library a managed library (i.e. the photos are copied into the iPhoto library during import) or a referenced library (photos are not copied during import and only alias files are created in the library). If it's the latter you have to manually delete the "source" photos from the HD. If it's a managed library then you have something wrong with the library.
    First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that makes any difference. Next, if needed launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    If neither of the above helped create a test library, import a few photos and see if you can delete the photos from it and from the HD in the process. You'll have to open the library package to verify is the photos are truly gone. If they do delete properly your primary library is the problem.
    If you're still having problems log into another account, create a test library and see if photos get deleted completely there. If they do your primary account is the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how you can check it out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
    Happy New Year
    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 created 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 and Leopard. 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.

  • Deleting photo's  ( taken on ipad2 camera ) on the camera roll directly from ipad

    I am new to all this stuff....as Grannies are....but here goes...
    I just got an iPad2 with the iOS5 ( the only apple device I have ). I have had it 8 Days....
    I took some photos with the iPad2 camera then I transferred them to a new album, following the directions in the downloaded User's Guide.
    That worked OK.
    Now I want to delete some photo's from the Camera Roll. Looked up how to delete from Camera Roll in the U/Guide which says...Open Camera, tap box in the lower L/H bottom corner, open a photo, then tap garbage bin.
    I have done all this but instead of saying, in the red box, " Delete Photo ", as it should, it says " Delete Everywhere " which takes the photo out of the Camera Roll as well as the album it was put into. I tried it out once and it did delete from both places. !!!
    Then when I open Photo's, then open an album and tap on a photo and follow what the U/Guide tells you to do, open a photo then tap the Garbage bin, I get the same message there too " Delete Everywhere "
    There seems to be no way to change from Delete Everywhere to Delete Photo.   ????  AND it also altered a photo in another completely different album ( one that I synced from my PC ) in that, instead of a photo, I now have a light grey square with a question mark in the centre of it in place of the picture , yet when I tap on the grey square the photo then opens.  ????
    Can anyone help please ?

    I have managed to find a fix for my problem .
    I have discovered the following…..To Delete Photos from Camera roll.
    If when you open “Camera” on your  iPad , you have photos on your camera roll that you haven’t put into an album directly from the camera roll in “ Photos” then you can Delete them as the User Guide  states eg. …Open Camera … tap the thumbnail box in the lower L/H bottom corner and a bigger display of thumbnails of your photos will appear….tap the box with the arrow in it on the upper R/H side….then tap on the thumbnail , this will put a blue circle with a white tick in it on the lower R/H corner of that thumbnail and the Red Delete button will come alive…..tap the delete button and you will get a drop down saying …Delete Photo…tap this and the photo will disappear and it will also disappear from the little thumbnail box in the lower L/H corner….do this with all photos …then tap Done……you will now have an empty camera roll.
    HOWEVER…….if  in “ Photos” you have put any of these photos that are on the Camera roll album into other albums directly on your iPad you will NOT be able to delete them in this manner..….When you open “ Camera “ and pull up your thumbnails and follow the above process the Drop down from the Red Delete button will say…Delete Everywhere…meaning from the camera roll and the particular Album you have that photo in……in short you will loose the photo completely.
    This next bit is for those of us who have PC’s that are not Apple.
    I plugged my iPad into my computer via the Dock connector to USB cable that came with the iPad and copied the camera roll onto my PC using the Microsoft Photo Wizard  to load all the photos I had taken with my iPad camera onto my PC’s …My Pictures….they all transferred OK….I  disconnected the cable from the iPad to the PC.   Then on the PC with MY Pictures open  I sorted and renamed and created folders /albums to suit my needs…..
    Now make Blank Folder in My Pictures  and leave it sit there  empty.
    OK now time to clear the IPad of all the stuff I don’t want on there.
    Now you can go back into “Photos” on the iPad and use the “Delete Everywhere” or button and it will do that.  You can also go back into “Camera” and make sure that all of the camera roll is deleted as well. You should end up with no Camera roll in either the Photos or Camera apps. 
    Pull up iTunes on the PC….Plug in the cable again….Click on Device name and you get a sync menu…click on photos …tick sync to iPad  and then choose selected albums…..and then tick the albums you wish to copy to your iPad and click on apply…..this will then only sync those photo albums you have ticked….Yay !
    Now I had some problems with some photos disappearing and leaving just a light grey square with a question mark in it, in the place where the photo should have been ,whilst I was trying to delete the camera roll ( see first discussion) before I worked out a way to do it so I chose to Delete ALL the albums I had previously synced from my PC to fix that as well….and no, I don’t know what caused that to happen, however,
    ……… To do this I did as above…with the sync menu open click photos…then tick selected albums…. Then selected the  Blank Folder I had created earlier on my PC and Nothing else…...then click apply… your screen may ak if this is what you want to do.....this will delete all the photos on the iPad that have been synced on there before. ……
    Now with everything back to blank screens you can go ahead and select those albums you do want on your iPad from your computer and resync .
    This method has worked for this “ Granny “ and I didn’t have a huge amount of photos on the camera roll so it may be a bit long and laborious if you do have a gazillion photos on your camera roll and I don’t know about bulk deleting…….but I now have a working  iPad and only the Photos I want on it and no grey squares with question marks.
    This may be a bit long winded as an article but I hope it can help someone else to sort out their problems, as I have now done, and after looking at many sites for help info there appears to be quite a bit of confusion out there with these apps.
    Happy Now...
