How can I delete a photo from aperture but keep it on my computer

I recently purchased A3 from the App Store and have begun migrating photos to its program.
It's also given me a chance to go through and see which photos I would rather not have in A3 but I don't want to delete totally. So here's my question:
When I delete a photo from A3 is there a way to keep the original in it's location but just not pulled into A3's database? I tend to keep files where they are and even though I don't want it in A3, I still want to keep the photo on my external database. Yes, I could just select one photo at a time to incorperate but I just wanted to do a select all and then hand filter out in post.
Thanks and hope this made sense.

When the Master of an Image in your Aperture Library is located anywhere outside of that Library, it is called a "Referenced Master". Aperture gives you complete control of your Images' Masters -- you can relocate them, consolidate them, reconnect them, etc.
Every Image has a Master. The Master is a file on a drive. When you delete the last Image in a Library that uses a Master, Aperture will ask you if you want to delete the Master file as well. For your purposes, say "No".
You should probably experiment with a practice Library and make sure you end up with a workflow that meets your needs. One thing Aperture can't do is mark which files in Finder are Masters. To group your files by "Master/not-Master" in Finder, you will have to go into Aperture and move all of the Masters to another location. The files left are not Masters.
Note that Aperture puts deleted Masters in the System trash. They are put in a folder named after your Library -- I think -- in any case they are easy to identify. Until you empty the system trash, they are available from there.
All of which begs the question: why keep the Master but remove it from your Library? You could simply create an Album (or a Project, depending on your use of Projects) called "Archive", and put all of those Images there.

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that. Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

Photos synced to your phone from your computer can only be removed by syncing them off again. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer using your usb cable
Open iTunes on your computer
Click on the name of your phone in iTunes
Go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings
Uncheck the folders that contain the photos you no longer want on your phone. To remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
If you only want to remove some of the photos from an album, but not all, remove these photos from the folder by the same name on your computer, then sync your phone.

HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
All help gratefully received.

You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

How can I delete iCloud photos from my iPad2?

Photos were taken with iPhone 5. I was able to delete them off of phone but they would not delete on iPad. The iPad photos are under the catagory of iCloud photos. The pics only show up on my iPad and there is no trash can icon to delete. Tried logging on to iCloud and the advanced setting does not allow photo deleting, only document resetting. I have iOS 7. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there Bunluhvr!
If you are unable to delete these photos from your iPad, then they may have been synced into your iPad from your computer:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

How can i delete these photos from my iphone?

I had to do a dfu reset on my phone (without restoring a backup) to fix a data problem i was having, so i have spent the past week manually backing up specific app data that i can't live without (such as the songs i have written/recorded with garageband) and my notes and contacts and photos...etc to my computer. I did that with a program called iexplorer. Then after the restore i had to get all that stuff back on my phone and it's all been sorted out so far except this problem i encountered with my photos: i wanted my photos back in the camera roll just like they were before the reset and the only program i could find to do this was "iFunBox". I started with the first folder of about 70 pics, the import appeared successful from my computer, then i looked on my phone and it did not show them in the camera roll or even a folder beside camera roll (under the albums tab), but when i switched the tab to photos it showed them all there. But the strange part is i am unable to delete them and it shows the date as 1947, which obviously isn't right. In itunes it also does not show the pictures, even in iFunBox it doesn't show them. I tried syncing my photos with an empty album and it did nothing. How can i get rid of these photos without having to do another factory reset? And once i get them off, how do i get all my photos back onto the camera roll? Emailing them isn't an option because i have over 1500 pictures and emailing them 21 at a time is simply not going to happen. Please help!!

If the photos were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, you have to sync them off to remove them (by deselecting them on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing).

How can i delete stock photos from my Mac that are on my iPhone?

When I first synced my iPhone 4S to my iTunes on my macbook pro, I got a bunch of stock photos and icons used on my computers. I cannot delete them on my iPhone like you would delete a normal photo; the option to delete the photos is disabled,
The pictures take up a lot of space and I want to get rid of them.
I just updated to iOS7 and my iTunes has not been updated lately.
There are 488 of these photos and they are in an album called "last import- from my mac"

Do you mean that you synced them from iTunes to your iPhone? If so, you have to sync to iTunes again and change the selected synced photos.

To what? Are you having trouble with a DVD made by a particular device, or a hard disk that was on a particular computer, or is still in that computer, and communicating to your computer? We don't have enough details to answer the question. Are you trying to get photos into an iPhoto certain version, Photoshop certain version, just the Finder of a certain version, or specific operating system on your Mac? We need more details. Is the DVD a standard DVD, such as is indicated on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446 or something non-standard?

How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.
