Do you mean that I can't delete any pictures that I download into iPhoto?

"Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder
If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
I just recently found these forums and have spent a lot of time looking through them. Yes, I am a newbie. I have learned a lot, some things are confusing.
Since you have to download everything on your camera there are a lot of pics I would like to get rid of. Yet I am reading all these warnings about not deleting pictures.
I think I will start downloading my camera with Image Capture. I was looking at Automator but can't quite figure out how that works. Will have to study it some more.
Thanks for now

You can of course delete photos but just don't do it from the main iPhoto library folder located in user/Pictures/iPhoto Library while using the finder.
You can delete as many photos you like from within iPhoto itself.
Open iPhoto
Click on the library pane
Select the photos you wish to delete
and hit delete
They are moved into iPhoto's Trash (bottom of source pane)
Ctl click Trash
Select Empty Trash
Gone
Hope this helps

Also, I can't import my photos to my Windows 7 PC.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

Can anyone tell me how I can take photos from Pictures and move them into iPhotos so that I can share them on photo stream to my Apple TV?

I have tried all morning to get my picture files to move into iPhotos. I want to push them using photo stream to my Apple TV. My picture files were originally from a Windows programme, I have too many photos to loose or just lay unviewed on my Mac!

Have you tried the import function on iPhoto? Have you tried just dragging them into the iphoto app?

How can I delete my Aperture library and import into iPhoto?

I have decided that I prefer the simpler interface of iPhoto, and I'd like to move all my photos back to there. I'm aware of the new feature that allows iPhoto to open up Aperture libraries; however, I want to delete the Aperture library and import all the photos into iPhoto. What's the simplest way to accomplish this?

The Library file format is now the same. If you have upgraded to the most current versions, you do not have to do anything to your Library: you can open it with either iPhoto or Aperture. Since you prefer iPhoto, simply open your Library in iPhoto.
As others have suggested, you might as well keep Aperture (the program) around, in case there is an adjustment or other function that you can effect with it that you cannot with iPhoto.

I can't see the pictures I just imported into iPhoto '11

I just imported a bunch of photos and videos from the iphone into iPhoto. During the first attempt I got an error message ("iphoto unexpectedly terminated" or something like that), so just to be on the safe side I reimported everything. Now, if I disconnect the iPhone from the Mac and I search for a specific picture with spotlight I can find it. But none of these pictures appear in iPhoto.
Thanks in advance for any 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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

Can I delete the pictures from my camera and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

Can I delete the pictures in my camera roll and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

No, you can't. If you have created albums on the iPad and think that there are copies of the photos in those albums, that is not how it works. The albums created on the iPad merely contain pointers to the photos in the camera roll or to any synced photos that you have. If you delete the photos from the camera roll, they will be deleted everywhere and will be gone.

Sorry. I tried what he said to do, but I could not get the ringtone "coqui" to download to the phone after connecting it to the iTunes stores and backing it up. The ringtone in question is in my library, but I cannot copy it or move it to my iPhone. Hope somebody can help.

I would like to know if I can "join CD tracks" once they are downloaded into a playlist in my ITunes folder on my computer and/or how do you "join CD tracks" if you are downloading from iTunes itself. From the information through the "Help" menu, it seems you can only "join cd tracks" when you are in the process of downloading them from a CD onto your iTunes playlist?

The help menu is correct.

How can I delete items purchased but never downloaded?

I have several TV shows and movies that are on my cloud that I purchased years ago on my iPhone, now they are on my ipad but since I never actually downloaded any I can't delete them...help?!!?

If you mean that they show in the Videos app then check to see if Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (in the 'Show All' heading) is 'off' - if it's on then set it 'off'.

About a week ago I did a software update on my iPad, but I can't delete any apps, and it won't let me purchase or install any new apps either, what can i do??

Hi there, a week or so ago I did the software update for iOS 7.1.1, but since then, i can't seem to install new apps from the app store, and I can't delete any of my apps. I have already tried to reboot my iPad, i have removed my Apple ID, then did the reboot, and logged in again with the Apple ID, but still no change.
What can I do? I was thinking maybe the update didn't install correctly, and that I should try to reinstall it again, but I'm new to the iPad and it's software so I don't even know if it's possible...

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

How can I delete a page I've entered into a Dashboard Window

How can I delete a page I've entered into a Dashboard Window?

If by "page" you mean a Dashboard Widget, then it's simple:
Open Dashboard (F4 on my keyboard) and in the lower left corner you'll see a cross in a circle. Clicking it enables add/delete mode and all possible adds show up at the bottom of the screen while all currently added Widgets stay where they are but get an X in a circle attached to them. Clicking on the X deletes the Widget.
hope this helps

I have synced pix from my laptop. Some appear multiple times and others I want to delete. In pictures when I tap edit the "delete" tab is red and I can't delete any pix. How do I fix this?

How do I delete pix. In the edit mode the "delete" tab is red and I can't delete any pix.

If the delete tab is red after you tap the edit button, then you have to select the pictures that you want to delete by tapping on them. A blue check mark will appear in the lower right corner of the photo indicating that it has been selected. The Delete button should then turn bright red after you make your selections. Tap the delete button and that should remove the photos. This will work for photos in the camera roll or the photo stream.
Photos that you synced to your iPad must be removed by "unsyncing" them using iTunes on your computer. Deselect the albums in the photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync to remove them.

I was trying to delete a large number of e-mails from Stamp. I did something and now I can't delete any of my e-mails. What do I do to fix this.

I tried to delete a large # of e-mail. I did something that caused the computer to hum for a few minutes. All of the e-mails came back and now I can't delete any of my old e-mails. What did I do and how do I fix it?

The clipboard is a place in memory where text that has been copied from is temporarily stored ready to be pasted elsewhere.
The clipboard cannot be viewed, and is essentially invisible to the user. Copied text will stay on the clipboard until it is replaced by the next piece of copied text.
Probably what happened is you copied your credit card number from somewhere, either intentionally or accidentally (perhaps you made a purchase on your iPad using this card recently), and the clipboard stored the number. Then, whilst you were using Facebook you (accidentally) pasted this credit card number from the clipboard into your Facebook message.
That's the only likely reason I can think of. Hope I explained it well enough!

Do you mean that I can't delete any pictures that I download into iPhoto?
