Difficulty to delete a picture in Lightroom

While trying to delete a picture in LR4, I get the message that this is not possible in a Dynamic Library...
I then need to go to the specific folder where my picture is, and then only I can delete it.
I don't remember having this issue with LR3. ... Is there a way to avoid this ?

Thats the way it's always been. Use CtrlShiftAlt+Delete to delete from
anywhere.

    Does preview catalog will get smaller after deleting movies/pictures from Lightroom 4.0 assuming the option 'Automatically discard 1:1 previews' is marked 'Never'?

    Yes, but it may not be apparent immediately. The previews are "held" for a time to save rebuilding if the associted file is reimported or the removal undone.

  • When i choose a picture in Lightroom 5, a popup says file not found.  What am i doing wrong?

    When I choose a picture in Lightroom 5, and click on Develop, it was file not found.  What am I doing wrong?

    It means the photo has been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom (Hint: don't do that)
    To fix the problem, either move the photo back to where it was (using your operating system), or re-connect in Lightroom following these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Problem deleting Original Pictures in ApertureDatabase

    Since installation of OS-X Leopard I can no longer delete any picture inside may projects in my Aperure database. Neither in my old library nor in a completely new one.
    Has anybody made the same experience?
    Can anybody give me a useful hint what I can do?
    Tx.

    1 - I'm not clear on your question but remember the primary rule of iPhoto (and all database programs) is NEVER use the finder or any other program to delete or modify the contents of the database (the iPhoto library) - DO NOT use the finder to delete anything in the iPhoto library
    2 - if you select a photo in an event in iPhoto and delete it (press the delete key or drag it to the iPhoto trash) and then empty the iPhoto trash and teh system trash the photo is totally gone from the system
    If this is not happening then you have a corrupted library and need to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    If the "originals folder" you created is outside the iPhoto library then you are in chare of it and must delete form it - iPhoto never does anything to anty think that is not in its library
    In the iPhoto preferences have you unchecked the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library?
    as to Lightroom - it is totally sepearte from iPhoto and does basically the same thing in a different way - to use photos in it you export tehm from iPhoto and import to LR - do not have LR directly access the contents of the iPhoto library - or have iPhoto directly access the contents of a LR library - they must  be seperate

  • Is there a way to delete multiple pictures at the same time from the iphone4s?

    Is there a way to deleter multiple pictures at the same time, from my iphone4s? I know how to delete one at a time. Thanks

    Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.

  • I am using iPhoto 2009.  If I empty the trash bin, will it delete those pictures from albums I have created?  I noticed some of the pictures appear to be the same in both the trash and album.

    I have a lot of photos in my trash bin and was thinking about emptying the trash.  However, I got a message that said that if emptied, I would not be able to recover them.  I chickened out.  I looked at several pictures in the trash and noticed that they were the same pictures in albums that I had created.  I compared the numbers shown on those pictures in the trash and found that they were the same as the numbers shown in on the pictures in the albums that I had created.  I would like to delete the pictures to create more space, but I don't want to lose pictures that I can't replace. 

    yes - albums are not copies or places - they are pointers in the databae pointing to the photo in the library - you can see it in an album, under photos or under events - but it is all the same photo - if you delete it it is gone everyplace - and no additiponal space is used for an album (or many albums - a photo can be in many albums without using any additional space
    Only put photos that you do not want to keep in the trash
    How much free space do you have on the disk volume that the iPhoto library is on?

  • Our Iphone 4S is full of pictures which transferred to my Ipad through Icloud.  Everytime I delete pictures on my iphone it deletes the pictures on my ipad.  We are using my iphone as a camera.  We are in Croatia and it is hard to find someone to answer

    We are in Croatia and are having trouble getting help for our problem.  We have an Ipad and an Iphone 4S.  I have been using the Iphone as a camera.  The icloud has been transferring pictures to the ipad.  Now, my iphone is full of pictures (180) and if I delete a picture, it disappears from my ipad as well.  We need some advice as to how we can save the pictures in the ipad - maybe to another file?  And then be able to delete the pictures from my Iphone without deleting them from the Ipad.  Or, if that is impossible.  What accessories should I look for so that I can download pictures on a device, then delete my pictures from the iphone and start all over again.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks from 2 very confused people.

    Hi croatia2014,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have photos in your Photo Stream that you want to save to your iPad, you can save them to your Camera Roll using this method:
    Manage My Photo Stream contents. In the My Photo Stream album, tap Select.
    Share, print, copy, or save photos to your Camera Roll album:  Select the photos, then tap .
    You can find these steps in the iOS 7 user guide here:
    My Photo Stream

    You may also find this advice useful:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.

    I have a iPhone 4 and I can't delete the pictures in the photo albums. Can anyone help??

    There are two ways to get rid of them on your iPhone:
    1.  Get rid of them on your computer, and then sync your iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    2.  Plug your iPhone into your computer, open iTunes, click on your iPhone's row on the left, go to the "Photos" tab on the top right, and uncheck "Sync Photos", then click "Apply" in the lower right.

    Hi jenny,
    Are you certain that they are both running IOS 6.1.3? Go to Settings>General>About, and check the "Version".

  • Used iPhoto to import and delete some pictures, but they are still consuming ~6GB of space on phone according to iTunes

    I have imported a bunch of photos over the years from iPhone to computer using iPhoto, selecting the option to delete them from the phone after import.  iPhoto says I have 458 items on the phone.  When I go into the Camera app, it says that there are 458 items on the Camera Roll.  But when I go to the iTunes sync screen, it says 1458 photos are taking up 9.14 GB, which would be about right if the deleted pictures aren't really deleted.  iTunes says that the phone has 1.34GB free, which agrees with what Settings->General->Usage->Storage tells me.  I tried powering off the phone and doing a reset, but it still says 11.9GB are in use on the phone...
    I deleted the pictures because I was worried about running out of space, but it now appears that I don't have the pictures OR the free space!  How do I get the deleted pictures to give up their space on the phone?

    I'm simply trying to get enough space to update my 5s because of the whole thing where you're phone needs room to install an update. I deleted over 100 songs off of my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer. I decided to sync to see if it would show up, but all that did was add the apps from other people's devices in my house. Then I disconnected and my phone froze. I plugged it back in, got the apple logo and it loaded again, but still it showed 825 songs on my iPhone while according to iTunes, I have 666 songs on my iPhone. What do I do?
    All I wanted was to update my iPhone but as usual, Apple makes things 10x more complicated than they need to be.
    Apple isn't making this 10x more complicated you are.
    If you deleted the music why are you syncing back apps from other user on your computer?
    Have you tried deleting the music directly from your phone and then update over the air?

  • Cannot delete certain pictures in Iphoto on my IPad. no trash bin option for these particular photos.

    I am having trouble deleting certain pictures on my IPad. They are jpeg pics but by selecting them individually under the photo icon or by using iphoto they will not delete. No trash can icon will highlight to drag them to. I believe there may be dublicate pictures so when I select no trash can appears. I can change to a different date with no dublicate pic and trash can appears. I am doing a backup of my Ipad and maybe I have to go to factory default and start over!!

    How did these pictures get on the iPad?
    If they were synced to it through iTunes on a computer, then the only way to delete them, is to un-sync them the same way.

  • How to I get my Mac to stop deleting the pictures off of my phone that I sync to the computer?

    When I first uploaded pictures to my Mac from my iPhone, it asked me if I wanted it to delete the pictures off of my phone as they uploaded, and I said yes.Now, every time I upload pictures, all the pictures from my phone get deleted as they sync onto the computer. I cannot figure out how to stop this and IPhoto does not give me the option to change it. I want to be able to sync the photos to my computer without them being deleted from my phonee. Can anyone help me?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

    What is the  best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

    There is no one best way.  If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.
