Deleting single photo

Can someone tell me how to delete a single photo from my Touch?

I believe that you have to delete it from the album that you are synching from iPhoto.
Or if you are synching all your photos, then you would have to delete it from your iphoto
library.

Delete single photos in photostream

How do I delete one og more pictures from photostream?
I've already found out that I can delete my entire photostream "library".
But it should be possible to mark and delete 1 or more photos.
Does anybody know how to do that?
If it's not possible: APPLE pls. fix it
Thanks

All of these posts are correct, and offer good insight into both the working & the limitations of photostream
The ways to avoid 'bad' photos ending up in the stream will all work, but they are quite an ineffecient way to do things.
You really have 2 options now
1) Just put up with bad, blurry photos in your stream & move on with life
2) Turn photo stream OFF most of the time, & turn it on only when you really want to show off some photos.
Until Apple allows the ability to indivudually delete photos from the stream, there's nothing else you can do.
Also, was just thinking. If you turn Photosteam off & delete its contents, THEN turn it back on again, will it fill the stream up with the last 30 days of photos currently on your camera roll? Or will it only add photos to the stream when you start taking new photos on your iphone camera?

HT4927 Why can't we restore a single photo in iPhoto anymore?

The loss of this functionality has been anoying and I sincerely hope that Apple brings it back someday. It makes Time Machine a lot less useful for customers and also potentially leads to the loss of more data. It used to be that you could restore a single image, say that was acidentally deleted. Now if you were to restore the entire iPhoto Library with Time Machine, you'd get the one image back but lose every other image you added since then. That make no sense. Of course Time Machine will ask if you want to overwrite thr iPhoto Library or duplicate and keep the original, but how many people are going to know they should keep the original? And if you have a large library you may not have the space. Even if you did dupe the Library you would then need to Open the restored Library (hold option while opening iPhoto and select the Library), find the image you want back, copy it out of the old Library, quit iPhoto, re-open iPhoto with the existing Library, re-add the photo you want to restore. Way too many steps.
There is another workaround that I will share here, but it too is too complex for many people. Bottom line Apple needs to bring back the old method for restoring iPhotos using Time Machine.
Here's how I would restore a single image in iPhoto with Time Machine. I personally also make an extra backup of the iPhoto Library before using this method, just in case.
Go to ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library
Right+Click the iPhoto Library and choose 'Show Package Contents'
Click the 'Originals' alias
Now you should see a bunch of folders organized by year
Activate Time Machine
Browse back to find the image you want to restore. The folders go by year > month > day. After that the folder and image names are cryptic, but you can use the previews to find the image you want to restore.
Select it and restore it with Time Machine.
I would then move the image out of the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library package folder and re-add it manually to iPhoto.

There is a way if you know the photo's file name but not fast.
1 - download and launch Find Any File
2 - select the Time Machine drive and search for the file name.
3 - you'll get several hits in each library backup, i.e. the original, thumbnail, preview and editied version.
4 - make sure you choose the file in the Originals or Masters folder and drag from the search results window to the Desktop.
Due to the nature of the backup structure the search can take a while.
Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to bring back the single photo restore.

Two issues on Aperture: single photo won't show in viewer, emptied trash won't indicate as empty

Using Version 3.5.1. Several after-market edit plug-ins attached. Two new problems:
Very recently, when editing, the single photo viewer mode will start showing only black (blank), or shows the photo very briefly then goes black, or shows another different photo, or a damaged-looking photo. Multiple photo viewer modes still work ok. Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
Also, trash continually indicates 477 undeleted photos even after emptying. Additional photos added to trash get added to this count (i.e. it then indicates, say, 492 photos in trash, while showing only the actual 15 legitimate files in the trash folder), and then can successfully deleted the actual trashed files back to the mysterious 477, although with no photos actually left in the trash folder and the Empty Trash function still active for these 477 ghost files. This problem persists despite restarting.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
First of all, make sure you have a current, working backup of your Aperture library.
Is your Aperture library on your system drive or on an external drive? If external drive, how is the library connected? And is the library referenced or managed?
Several after-market edit plug-ins attached.
Have you checked, if your plug-ins are the latest versions, and compatible with MacOS X Mavericks?
What trouble-shooting measures have you already tried? If you have not already done so, use the Aperture Library First Aid tools and repair the permissions and the database, see this page of the Aperture User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

How do I delete a photo album off of my iPhone 5 when the photo album is from another computer. I can't delete it btw!

I've synced an photo album from my old Toshiba laptop to my iPhone 5 last year, the laptop doesn't work anymore, but now i have a MacBook pro and i can't delete it off of my phone or iTunes! please help! My storage is almost full and i want to delete it!

If you select a single photo on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your previous computer should be erased first.

IPhoto shows and imports triplicates (triple duplicates) of iPhone photos – On iPhone only single photos shown

I recently plugged in my iPhone, only to see that when the contents of the device were shown in iPhoto, there were triples, or "triplicates" of every photo (this put the total around 10,000 photos). Meanwhile, on my iPhone's Photos app, everything looks normal with only single photos being shown.
I toiled over how to remedy the problem, and found I had no other choice but to spend the MANY hours syncing thousand upon thousands of duplicate photos/videos to my iPhoto library. I then broke down and purchased Duplicate Annihilator to clean up my now ruined library. Because iPhoto made all those duplicates, the file size compounded into many gigabytes. Duplicate Annihiliator had to run for hours before finally cleaning things up. It did it's job well, however the root of the problem still remains.
At the conclusion of transferring my entire library of photos from iPhone to iPhoto, I had the photos removed from the iPhone so I could start with a clean slate. I took a few sample photos and plugged the iPhone back in to iPhoto. Yet again, the dreaded triple duplicates, or "triplicates" of each photo I took show in the device preview window (i.e. I took 5, non-HDR photos, and 15 are shown—each repeated three times). If I proceed to import the collection, it imports triple of everything into my library.
Essentially, my situation now is: I have to import multiple copies of everything (takes longer), then I have to run Duplicate Annihilator each time to keep my iPhoto library from being a mess. Just wastes tons of time. How can I keep iPhoto from showing and importing all these multiple copies every time? Again, on the iPhone end, everything looks normal—only a single copy of each photo.
What I have tried:
Closing/restarting iPhoto
Checking for iPhoto updates (there are none, I'm on the latest version—which, as of this writing, is 9.2.3 629.52)
Deleting com.apple.iPhoto.plist from ~/library/Preferences/
Using Image Capture (triple duplicates still show in IC as well)
Disabling Photo Stream
Removing all photos and albums from iPhone

I am seeing this problem still, even after trying the Photo stream toggle trick that was mentioned. I have one otehr observation to add.
If I "Command"+select the first of each photo in iPhoto and then import those (choosing to Delete after import), then the next refresh of iPhone pictures oniPhoto will show all the photos (including the duplicates) gone. So basically something like this.
1) iPhoto - I see triplicates of pictures on my iPhone.
2) Command+Select the first instance of each duplicated picture.
3) Import the selected pictures. Choose to Delete the pictures after import.
4) Go back to iPhone in iPhoto. No more duplicates of the pictures I imported.
So this doesn't fix the problem as all the unimported photos still show triplicates, but al least I don't have to run a de-duper on my laptop now to eliminate triplicates.
This eliminates some of the hassle, but it's still a hassle.
I hope someone figures this out completely because it's making me hate iPhoto just a little bit.

How come when you delete a photo in photo stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the photo stream (iPhone)?

If you upload a photo in the 'Photo Stream Uploads' folder (PC), it is automatically imported to iPhone (via Wi-Fi). How come when you delete a photo from the Photo Stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the Photo Stream (iPhone)?? I mean doesn't iCloud automatically update the changes? thanks.

You cannot delete photos from the photo stream. You can only log into icloud and in your account, you can delete photo stream and start fresh. It is rumored that the next upgrade to iOS will allow deletions of single photos from the stream, but not yet.

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have? Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess. If you did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

How to delete a photo

I have iPhoto and it remains to be the most difficult thing for me to learn. I have never quite figured it out, and no matter what I do, I cannot get rid of a single photo to save my life. Sure, I can delete hundreds of photos but they ALWAYS return with even more copies of the same photo time after time. I have tried everything including replacing the hard drive but they still return. I cancelled my iCloud account, started with a new account name, and they still come back. At this point my files and photos are now scattered everywhere and I’m completely lost. This problem is now 2-years in the making.

To delete a photo
Drag it from the Library (either Photo or Events view) to the iPhoto Trash.
Empty the trash.
Then (if you use iPhoto 11 only) also empty the system trash.
It sounds like you may have a corrupted Library. What version of iPhoto do you have?
Try this Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Page 2 Disappears when I delete a photo...***?

Hi
I'm using Pages in Layout mode trying to update a 2 page schedule. When I try to delete a photo on page 1, page 2 disappears...what gives?

Steve,
I have looked at your file.
1. You are in *Word Processing* mode not *Page Layout* mode, it says which after the file name at the top of the document window. You choose which one you want when you start from the *Template Chooser*.
2. You should be in *Page Layout* mode. Create a new blank file from the *Template Chooser* and copy and paste over the individual text boxes and images.
3. +Menu > View > Show Invisibles+ to see what it is you have done.
There is a mix of text and floating objects with text wrap turned on for the images. The text wrap is pushing the paragraph returns (that you typed into the layout) around, so that eventually they spill over and form a second page.
It is the Generals's photo box that is pushing down the paragraph returns.
When you delete the photo the paragraph returns pull back onto the 1st page and there is nothing to make a 2nd page. Effectively I think the content is still in the document but the page goes AWOL.
As I said you can make a *Page Layout* document where each page stands on its own and can be empty or not.
or
You should use +Menu > Insert > Page Break+ in place of all the returns you hammered into the type. This makes a *hard break* over to the next page. Effectively it says +new page here,+ not waiting till the page is full to overflowing with returns to make a new page.
Have a look with the Invisibles turned on to see how you have done this everywhere to position things.
+Do not use lots of spaces+ to position things sideways.
Make a tab in the ruler where you want something to line up to and then use a +single tab+ to jump to it.
The same goes vertically. Type one return between paragraphs and use paragraph settings such as +space before+ to determine how far apart paragraphs should be.
Avoid long lines of hard to read small text. Use 2 columns in each of the long wide text boxes to improve readability and add line spacing to open up the text.
If you need me to walk you through individual settings, just ask.

Deleting a photo

I've searched the archives and there is deleting pages, homepages, text, etc, but can't find anything on deleting a single photo. I have created a site from a party and someone does not like their photo on it. How do I remove just one image so that I don't have to redo the whole page.
Tony

I bet all you have to do is to clear your cache. If you are using Safari, just look under the Safari menu>Empty cache. The old photo is probably just stuck in the cache. It will disappear once the caches are emtied. You can also try to add a "?" to the end of your URL to force the servers to fetch you a new copy of the webpage.

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

IPhoto shows and imports triplicates (triple duplicates) of iPhone photos – On iPhone only single photos

I have an iPhone 5S and a Mac desktop all updated to current software releases. Recently I have uploaded photos from my iPhone and when they appear in iPhoto they were duplicated (last time). This morning I uploaded 200 photos (round #) and got 600 in iPhoto (they tripled).
There are only SINGLE photos on my phone and HDR is turned off. My photo stream is turned off. In a previous post responders asked "why do you think it is an iPhoto issue?"; well the iPhone only takes a single photo and in every case which is the last four times I end up with double or triple photos in iPhoto. I have had to to cntrl + "click" to select each photo manually to delete. Super frustrating and as someone who has been an Apple person since the IIe (Apple 2e) I have come to expect things to work correctly. Spoiled, I know. Any thoughts on other settings to check or steps to try would be appreciated. I'm not a programmer though so some of the "go into this registry or file and change "X" " may be beyond me. Thank you in advance!!!

I am seeing this problem still, even after trying the Photo stream toggle trick that was mentioned. I have one otehr observation to add.
If I "Command"+select the first of each photo in iPhoto and then import those (choosing to Delete after import), then the next refresh of iPhone pictures oniPhoto will show all the photos (including the duplicates) gone. So basically something like this.

2) Command+Select the first instance of each duplicated picture.
3) Import the selected pictures. Choose to Delete the pictures after import.
4) Go back to iPhone in iPhoto. No more duplicates of the pictures I imported.
So this doesn't fix the problem as all the unimported photos still show triplicates, but al least I don't have to run a de-duper on my laptop now to eliminate triplicates.
This eliminates some of the hassle, but it's still a hassle.
I hope someone figures this out completely because it's making me hate iPhoto just a little bit.

Lifelog, how to delete single activity

Hi, how can i delete a single activity like photos that i already taken?
I have the last lifelog app version, where one of the new is features is -Delete single activity-
I could not find any option to do this.

I feel your pain.. it don't matter how many times you press that button the activity remains like a plauge!! (unless it's a sleep activity then it just disapears) but this has a little trash bin icon instead of the word delete... possibly just a faulty bit of code from the Devs??

Why does deleting a photo take so long?

Every time I delete a photo, Aperture stops, the pointer turns into a beach ball and about 5-10 seconds later, the single picture is deleted. Why is this happening? It's really tedious when you are trying to delete a number of pictures.

I do believe Apple strongly recommends your Aperture Library be on an internal drive. Physically it will run on an external drive but it is not recommended. You may have some other large files that could be relocated to an external drive so you can put Aperture on the internal drive.
Aperture 3 is adept at handling multiple Aperture Libraries so you might consider breaking up your large library into a few smaller libraries. Perhaps one library per calendar year?
Within the running Aperture 3 program you can easily switch between multiple libraries but the libraries you are using most (such as your "Aperture 2010 Library" for example) should be on an internal drive. I suspect Aperture 3 is doing more behind-the-scenes work than iPhoto and that will make a difference in performance especially if the libraries are external.
Your thoughts?
Thanks for your comments. Seems to me that I should be able to store the library externally, but I called Apple to ask. They said you can, but that USB is not recommended, so I am going to try using my firewire drive instead and see if that helps. Also think I may try splitting my library into two parts. I understand that it's easy to switch to the other and that can help performance, but Apple felt strongly that the firewire was a much better option. Didn't think it mattered for pictures, but I guess it does.
Using the internal is really not that easy. Don't know where all the space goes, but my documents and pictures only account for about 16gb. Apps take 15gb. Music 30gb. That's 61gb out of 320gb, but I only have 87gb available. Where does it go???
I will report back...
