Deleting unwanted words in iPhoto Slideshows

I have learned--finally--to add captions to individual images in my slideshows, but now I want to delete words that I didn't--intentionally--put there.I put six images into a Slideshow I made for training purposes. I added "test 1" for image one, "test 2" for image two. and so forth. Now I want to delete "MYPHOTO" from images 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and "IMG_0264.5PG" from image 2. How do I do this?

That doesn't work. It's the first thing I tried. No effect.

  • How to delete unwanted iphotos? (not edited originals)

    How can I delete unwanted photos in iphoto? I don't care about deleting originals that I have been edited, I want to remove trash shots from my computer while working in iPhoto. So is there a way to delete photos from DB, w/o going into the finder. I can take 50 shots in 2 mintues. Until I upload in iPhoto, mess with them, I can't tell good from bad. I don't want to store all forever. Help?

    Always remember the golden rule. Don' make any changes to the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - in the finder. Do everything working in iPhoto.
    It's hard to tell what's good and what's not until you get them into iPhoto or check in Preview.
    Dealing with them in iPhoto is the easiest way to do it . Look at them right after you import. You can select multiple shots by holding down the COMMAND key while clicking on the ones you want to trash. You can also use the shift key to get rid of a bunch all in a row. Click the first to select, then click the last holding down SHIFT - that will select all in a row.
    Then go to the Photo drop down menu and delete or trash the photos selected.
    LN -- you posted your excellent advice while I was typing.

  • I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!

    I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!
    I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
    Last week, my 500 GB Harddrive had 120 GB free space. I was feeling crumby and decided to make productive use of taking a day off to lounge around. I snuggled up with my laptop and dedicated hours to meticulously combing through my iPhoto Library. I had 13,000 pictures, and I got rid of those I didn't want. Having said "sayōnara" to about 6,500 pictures, I then emptied the iPhoto trash and the Finder trash. I took delight in the iconic paper crumpling sound of them vanishing into the digital void.
    Everything seemed perfect: the photos I loved were still there, the photos I loathed were gone, both trashes were beautifully empty. Having thrown away all of those awful, boring, and unflattering images of poorly light lunches and selfies gone wrong, my iPhoto library was half the size as before! I felt renewed, a little lighter, somehow more free, and I expected my hard drive to be a bit different to.
    I eagerly checked my storage stats. My heart sank to see that my 120 GB of free space, was still only 120 GB of free space. I restarted my MacBook; this did not help. I restarted it the next day; this also did not help. It's been 5 days and the hard drive still has 120 GB free space. This is not an emergency and it will probably be a good while before I clutter my laptop to the brim. Yet while I am glad I don't have to see cringeworthy pictures of my ex's unmentionables every time I'm showing off things I do want to remember, I'm still disappointed and now obsessed with solving this mystery.
    What is going on? I don't see them, so where are they hiding? How do I get the free space I should have earned from throwing away 1,000's of photos?!

    Thank you, Terence!
    Yes, I only emptied the trash when it was really full, once I waited until the trash cans contained 2,600 photos and then I emptied them - Oooops! In the future, I'll keep in mind your suggestion of deleting less than 100 photos at a time.
    I downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager and used it to rebuild my iPhoto. After a few hours of rebuilding, it generated a new copy of my iPhoto Library. This versions was nearly identical to the original (it was missing 5 photos and was therefore only 5 mb smaller). I guess my Library wasn't defective.
    I checked my storage stats, and interestingly, using iPhoto Library Manager did help with the problem that developed after I re-indexed my hard drive. My hard drive is able to properly recognize data categories again, instead of listing almost everything as "Other". Understandably, my free disk space changed from 120 GB to about 60 GB, because my hard drive now contained a second copy of my iPhoto Library as well as iPhoto Library Manager. It seemed like all I needed to do was throw these away, but when I emptied the trash, my problem was not solved. My Hard drive now looked like this:
    It appears to me that when I empty the trash, the things I throw away are just hanging around as backups instead of leaving! I went into System Preferences and turned of my time machine OFF. Now my hard drive looks likes this:
    The back ups of the iPhoto files, and the program which I deleted, are still on my hard drive some where but now they are listed as "Other" instead of "Backups". Do you know where they might be and how I can delete them for good?

  • How can i delete a photo in a iPhoto slideshow that is in the iCloud?

    I have created an iPhoto slideshow and put in the photo stream and it is now on iCloud.  I want to delete a photo in the slideshow but I can see to be able to edit. I can't get the thumbnails in a the photo browser so that I can choose the photo to delete. What is it that i must do to accomplish this?  Thanks!

    I created the slideshow and shared in the iCloud and made it public website.
    Did you share the photos from your slideshow as a shared Photo Stream and publish this Photo Stream as a public website?
    I can't get the thumbnails in a the photo browser so that I can choose the photo to delete.
    Then delete the photo in the iCloud section of iPhoto's Source list from your shared photo stream.
    Or did you publish a slideshow as a webpage in iPhoto on a mobile device (iPhone, iPad)? In that case, if you already upgraded the mobile device to iOS 8, there is no longer any way to access the webpage, since iPhoto iOS is incompatible with iOS 8.

  • Difficulty deleting unwanted photos

    I am going through my iPhoto library attempting to delete unwanted photos. Previously, I was able to scroll through the photos in an Event, press the delete key and then empty the Trash to permanently delete the photos. Recently, these "deleted" photos have remained in the various Events from which they were supposedly deleted. Can anyone help?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Deleting unwanted web images from hard drive

    I discussed with a friend that my computer got up to 70 GB full, and even when I took most of my photos off it, the memory did not increase much. He told me I needed to delete all the unwanted web images which I would have been downloading over the last few years. Could someone please tell me how to do this. Thank you

    Hello Annabel,
    You can empty your web browser's cache. This will delete a lot of accumulated stuff from visited sites.
    If you are using Safari, from the top menu bar under Safari you should see this option. ( This could vary depending on which version of browser you are using but you get the idea I hope.)
    As to your deleting photos, note that after you delete photos etc, you need to _empty the trash_ to recover that disk space again.
    If you delete photos from within iPhoto, these images are held in the iPhoto application and the trash has to be deleted from within there to recover the space, rather than Finder.

  • I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my document; however, now my second page is missing and there are several following pages in a language that appears to be Latin.  What sin have I committed and how do I atone to get my second page back?

    I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my Pages document; howver, the result is that the 2nd page of my document is missing and there are now several following pages in a language that appears to be latin.  What sin have I committed and how do I atone?

    10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
    You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
    When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
    Start with showing where everything is:
    Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
    Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
    Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
    Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
    If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

  • Starting iPhoto slideshow automatically on boot

    Hi all,
    I have a Mac mini that will be used in conjunction with a point of sale display screen and I need to start an iPhoto slideshow automatically. I have iPhoto starting automatically currently but I need a slideshow to start without any user interaction (there won't be a keyboard or mouse connected when it goes live).
    Thanks,
    Dave

    dahvyd - thanks for that it works!
    I'm trying to make it so it plays a slideshow which I've made so I've done this:
    tell application "iPhoto"
    activate
    set mySlideshow to "test1"
    select mySlideshow
    select slide 1 of mySlideshow
    start slideshow
    end tell
    But when I try to run it says "expected end of line, etc. but found number" and highlights 1
    Any ideas? It puts a title before the first slide. So I tried changing 1 to a 0 and 2 but still no joy
    If I delete that line it says:
    error "The variable mySlideshow is not defined." number -2753 from "my slideshow"

  • Iphoto slideshow no music possible ...

    in iPhoto I can only use the tidbits of music that was delivered with iPhoto but not  o n e  of my own songs or playlists. They show up but don't play.
    I have already played around with div. aple.com.playlists but without success. I hve deleted iPhoto and loaded it again from the store, the same situation as before.
    Please give me an advice how to get iPhoto-slideshows  w i t h  music.
    Thank You
    Roland from Austria

    Roland and topcop1,
    I am experiencing the same problem... All the iPhoto Slideshow menu items appear to be working as they should, and I'm able to select iTunes songs, but they simply do not play in the slideshow...  Have the same problem on two different computers...
    The music does, however, play if I open the iPhoto Library in Aperture, and play the slideshow from Aperture.
    I'll continue to investigate...will probably send feedback to Apple...

  • Can I delete an album in iPhoto?

    Can I delte an album from iPhoto?

    Yes.  It won't delete the photos that are in the album however, only the album.
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • Animated iPhoto Slideshow: Cannot recreate my original slideshows

    In early 2011, I created 7 different animated iPhoto Slideshows to use as part of my acting and modeling marketing program.  The iPhoto Slideshow software was amazing in how it took still photography and, in a seemingly simple and easy way, transformed it into exciting, highly creative, professional looking video presentations with synchronized music. My slideshows were many times better than the original still photography.
    Recently, I needed to update/replace one photo in some of these slideshows.  To my dismay, I discovered that it was impossible to recreate four of these iPhoto Slideshows.  Every time I attempted to do so, the resulting slideshows were nothing like my original slideshows.  Actually, the overall quality of these 4 slideshows has been drastically downgraded to the point of being unusable--for one or more of the following reasons:  the most interesting, unusual setup of 4 photos [up left: square; up rt: oblong; low left: oblong; low rt: square] in Sliding Panels has been eliminated; this results in a lot of repetition of the same setups within this slideshow; in another slideshow, the current software produces a totally different slideshow that is absolutely rigid throughout and will make no changes/modifications, regardless of the photo order or photo format; in one slideshow, the photo alignment is completely off; and the music is not always in sync with the action.
    Over the past several months, I have discussed these problems with many different people at Apple Support.  Everyone that I have spoken with assumed the problem was caused by a software update to iPhoto Slideshow sometime since early last year.  On April 6th, after reviewing this problem with Apple Engineering, an Apple Support Advisor briefed me on what Engineering had to say.  The response was basically this:  When the iPhoto Slideshow was created, Apple purposely included an algorithm that continually changes the slideshows.  Therefore, if I create a slideshow today, it may be impossible to ever recreate that same slideshow again because of this algorithm.
    I must admit that I am more than a little suspicious about Apple’s response.  It seems just too good to be true; especially due to the fact the stated cause is not easily provable or disprovable.  And Apple Support certainly did not attempt to validate or offer any reasons to support why I should accept this as truthful. Actually, until now, everyone at Apple that I had spoken with assumed the problem was caused by an update to the iPhoto Slideshow software since early last year.  Moreover, 3 of the original slideshows are currenty easily re-creatable.  Finally, this stated cause is so consistent with my experience of how Apple handles all product and software problems:  Nothing is wrong with our product or software.  There must be something wrong with your system or how you are using it. 
    My bet is that Apple significantly changed the slideshow software when they introduced the new iPad in late 2011 to accomodate the unique format of iPad. Hence, the iPhoto Slideshow software would work on iMac, iPhone and iPad.   
    MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY THIS:  HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE ANIMATED iPHOTO SLIDESHOWS?

    Is this the panel you're referring to in the Sliding Panels theme?
    If so then it's still availabe in the iPhoto 11 version.  Try a different arrangement of photos.  If that doesn't work try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
