Deleting Photos in Photocast folder crashes IPhoto

Two pictures I recently put in my Photocast folder are not showing up in Subscribers folders or my subscribed folder. I then added another photo and it worked fine. Does anyone know why and what to do to make them show up?
I decided to try to delete the 2 photos in the Photocast folder. Every time I try to delete the photos in the Photocast folder iPhoto 6 crashes.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

If you delete from iPhoto, and empty the iPhoto trash then
1: The Photo is deleted from the Hard Drive (every version up to iPhoto11)
or
2: The Photo is sent to the System Trash (iPhoto 11)
The only exception is if you're running a Referenced Library... What "separate folder in the Finder" are you referring to?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library. Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto): How to Access Files in iPhoto. Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

How to delete photos from faces folder?

Hi my iPhoto events are all clear of photos as are all my folders. However I have 4000 photos sitting in the faces folder - how do I delete these?

Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. There is no reason to remove the faces thumbnails. Are you trying to empty a library or something? If so, don't waste your time. Just trash it and make a new one.

Problem for deleting photos from hard drive within Iphoto 8

Hi there,
I am a new switcher, I bought a Macbook Pro last month...
I tried to manage my photo library with Iphoto but I cannot succeed in deleting pictures within Iphoto interface.
I've red some similar posts on this forum but nothing helped me.
When I put pictures in trash then empty Iphoto trash, my pictures are still on the hard drive and it is really annoying...
I unchecked the box in preferences to copy pictures in IPhoto Library, of course.
I tried to delete my Iphoto library and rebuild it.
It doesn't work !!
For information, my pictures are in a shared directory (shared between the two users of my Macbook) and all permissions ok !
Thanks for help.

I unchecked the box in preferences to copy pictures in IPhoto Library, of course.
Of course you did. And that explains why the photos are not removed from the HD.
When you uncheck this box you’re saying to iPhoto: ‘Don’t touch my photos, I want to manage them myself’. So, that means you need to get them from your camera to where ever you store them yourself. It also means that in the event of deleting them, you’ll need to do that too.
There are a number of potential pitfalls using this Referenced system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.
my pictures are in a shared directory (shared between the two users of my Macbook) and all permissions ok !
This, of course, means that edits made by one user are not visible to the toehr. There are other ways to share if you’re interested.

Deleting photos in "original folder"

I was wondering if I can go ahead and delete the original photos in iphoto and editing them. I only want to keep the edited copies not the originals. I want to save space on my disk,and i already have the originals on a passport drive as backup.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Trashing the original will also disable iPhoto's non-destructive editing feature.
If you don't want to preserve the original, bluntly, don't use iPhoto.
If disk space is an issue, you can run a Library from an external disk.

Cant Delete Photos from Picture folder

I'm having a problem with deleting pictures on my BlackBerry Q10, it displays a message that says "The items) could not be deleted, i tried deleting from File Manager, they disappeared from file manager but they still show up under photos, when I try to open them they won't open. I even tried multiple times restarting the Device by holding the power off button for long time till the red light blinks. I cn see those photos when i open the picture folder and when i click on those photos them it shows blank. This problem is with few photos only on particular days. The recent photos i am able to delete. Any kind of help will b so mch appreciated Regards Rajeev

It probably has to do with the permissions and file ownership of the target file on the server.
I tried the same code. I was able to delete a file where the owner was 'oracle' , and got the same error you have mentioned while trying to delete a file of another user with wrong permissions.

Cannot delete photos from panorama folder

Even though I have a 5c, I never tried the panorama feature until after upgrading to iOS 8. After taking the panorama, I wasn't pleased with it, and deleted it. The photo was moved to the new "Recently Deleted" folder, but also to the "Panoramas" folder. I know I can't delete the folder, but now I can't delete the panorama from the folder. In fact, since the original photo was "not editable," I created a duplicate in the folder, which I also can't delete. (Both have since been deleted permanently from the "Recently Deleted" folder.) No matter what method I try, I can't delete these photos, and only these two photos.
Please tell me they're not stuck there forever.

Not only was this design change an extremely bad idea, after updating my phone, it moved all the pics from my camera roll into a photos album that cannot be edited. I can no longer delete any of these pics from my phone or from the USB connection, except from the camera roll which was added back. Now what??
How am I supposed to get rid of all the pics I don't want? This idiotic change created a big mess for me that there appears to be no way out of...
GIVE US BACK CONTROL OF OUT PHONES, AND STOP SCREWING WITH OUR ABILITY TO DELETE PICS!!!
I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH APPLE NOW!

Restoring Photos from Time Machine Crashes iPhoto

I am attempting to restore some photos to iPhoto from Time Machine. I can navigate back to the time where the photos are displayed, but when I click on 'Restore' the restoration process commences but then iPhoto crashes. When iPhoto is re-opened the desired photos have not been restored.
This is disappointing because I rely on Time Machine as my life raft after any 'human error' episodes. What is the required procedure to make this work?
I am using OS 10.6.7, and iPhoto 7.1.5 ('08)
Robin

Since posting my original question I have followed the advice I saw for other similar postings. I have attempted to back up using File>Browse backups..., and rebuilt the database and trashed the iPhoto preference, but to no avail, iPhoto still crashes when attempting to restore a photo. What I haven't done is to restore the whole database from the Finder in Pictures>iPhoto. There was conflicting advice in some of the replies that I saw so I am reluctant to attempt that. But I am getting desperate, any advice please.

How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s?

On accident, I synced pictures from my computer onto my phone. I have many pictures on my computer and now it is taking up a lot of space on my phone. The problem is i dont know how to get the pictures off my phone now. The pictures are in knew files, and there is no opption on the phone to delete the pictures or its folder. Can anyone help??

Try connecting the phone to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck Sync Photos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. Then check your phone to see if any photos library photos remain. If they do, check Sync Photo again and sync. If prompted about removing existing photos on your phone, accept. This should remove the older photos and replace them with the photos on your computer (without duplicates). After doing this, if you don't want any of these photos on your phone, uncheck Sync Photos and sync again to remove them.

How to delete photos in a folder without causing unintended empty space?

So I like to keep photos in a typical Finder folder. The thing is, whenever I delete a photo, there's an empty space where that photo used to be. And those empty spaces add up and the result is not too visually appealing. Is there any way to remove all the empty spaces at once? Thanks in advance.

Try setting a default Sort By setting using COMMAND-J while viewing the window. You can configure other settings as well:
