How can I delete a slideshow outside of iPhoto?

I have a slideshow in iPhoto that is corrupt in some fashion where everytime it is selected it locks up iPhoto and requires a force-quit. I can not right click it to perform any contextual option since that also selects.
I have done the standard stuff including repairs in Disk Utility and all of the "secret" iPhoto startup options, but this errant slideshow remains.
I'm not too sure where to look in the [show package] contents of the library when accessed through the Finder.
Any ideas?

There is no way. The slideshow is an entry in the database files.
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 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 image outside of this offset path?

    I'm really new to Illustrator, and I'm trying to print an image that will have a CutContour swatch around it, with a bleed outside of the CutContour line. You'll see that I set up the bleed by creating an offset path outside of the CutContour path. However, I would like to delete the rest of the image outside of that, but I'm not sure how to do this. I don't want to print the entire block of the photograph, just the image inside the tracing, leaving the outside white. I thought I could select the offset path and make a Clipping Mask from that but it says it's "too complex" or doesn't do anything at all. I've attached an example since it will probably make more sense to have something to look at in addition to my explanation...

    If there are a lot of points in the path you are trying to use as a clipping mask, you could try;
    Object > Path > Simplify
    Turn on preview, and play with the settings while watching the shape and number of points.

  • 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.

  • How can I put a slideshow created in Iphoto, out to my digital camera??

    I am using Tiger, and Ilife 6.
    I made a slideshow in Iphoto from some postcards I scanned. I want to use those snaps in a movie I am creating on a stand alone editing unit (not on the MAC) Is there anyway I can put this slideshow (with the snaps I want to use in a movie) back into my video camera and not out to a DVD. This way I would have them on tape and could then put the contents of the tape into my stand alone unit to add to my movie I am creating there. I use a Prestige to do my editing of video, not Imovie.
    Before upgrading to Ilife 6 there was an option to do this I no longer can find an option. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    Stella

    Hello all those who took the time to help me with my problem. Thank you all. Yes I do have the option of sending it back to my camera I have found again since I went into iMovie.
    My problem was I did the slide show in Iphoto because I wanted to use the Burns effect and the only option was to put it into iDVD (not iMovie) from there.
    By putting the shots in iMovie I can send it back to my camera BUT cannot use the Burns effect so I am left with the black side on each side of the picture in the postcard. Guess you can't have everything.
    THanks again you have all been very patient and helpful.
    Stella
    P.S.
    re: It's in iMovie HD 7 that the Share menu appeared. .......No, it's in 6.0.3 on mine but only in iMovie not in the iDVD where I was trying to work.

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • 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 try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, 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 the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I delete the video tracks from an iDVD project?

    I try to use "canc" botton: the video track is deleted on menu, but when I try to insert a new video, iDVD (7.1.2) alert me:  "The maximum number of tracks (presentations and movies) is 99. You can not create other tracks."
    Then, how can I delete the video tracks (or presentations) really?
    Help me, please!

  • How can I delete updates ready to install?

    I regularly download software outside of the Mac App Store.  I now have an item "Angry Birds" available as an update in my App Store list.  I don't have Angry Birds.  I've never played Angry Birds (would you believe).  I've never downloaded Angry Birds.  I also don't know what I downloaded that's triggered this.  Trick is, I can't install this update either as my user name and the user name for the update don't match. 
    This is quite frustrating.  How can I delete this from my update list?
    Thanks

  • How can I delete catalog entries from PSE 8 Organizer when it's photo does not appear in the brower?

    I imported a group of files into Folder A, and Organizer correctly gave me the "new files in watched folders" pop-up and imported them.  Then I used Windows to copy these files into Folder B, also a watched folder.  Again, Organizer correctly gave me the "new files in watched folder" pop-up, BUT did not show the imported files in the browser, despite Show All, etc.  I used Windows to delete all of the files in Folder B, then tried to re-import them.  Organizer says "no files imported, because they already exist in this folder."  Apparently the files are registered in the catalog, even though they aren't physically there.  How can I delete these from the catalog when there's no photos in the browser I can click and say "delete from catalog"?

    DaveinNC wrote:
    Yes, that's exactly the message I get, except that below what you've shown above, Organizer then lists all of the files individually, each with the phrase "cannot import because image is already in the Catalog."
    In my PSE6, I get only the message shown, without the list of individual files.
    DaveinNC wrote:
    I tried your procedure.  Organizer began a lengthy search, and did not list the missing files.  It seemed to me Organizer was attempting to locate physical files that are referenced (included) somewhere in the Catalog, but whose location it no longer knows.  (I think these are the ones that Organizer displays with a "?" in the corner of the image.)  It's as though Organizer seems to think the files I deleted in Folder B are actually not missing, even though they really are.
    There, I believe you are right. Reconnecting missing files is usually quick enough, even with large catalogs. If the reconnect procedure has failed, there must be other problems than the deletion of files outside the organizer. Try a catalog repair and see if the reconnect procedure works.

    You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

  • How can I delete an iTunes account that has been deactivated?

    I deleted an old Apple ID with the help of a call to Apple Support.  However, my iphone is still trying to use the old ID.  How do I log out of the old ID and into the new?  Or, how can I delete the old ID when it has already been deactivated?  (Cannot delete with phone)

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account (which would also delete any purchase history for it, so you would no longer be able to authorise that content on a computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Or you could just remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details if you have any on it) and stop using it

    How can I delete my itunes store account

    At the moment you can't - just remove any personal info from it (e.g. credit card details) and stop using it. If you purchased any content from Apple with it (music, films, apps etc) then you will need to remember the account id and password in case you ever want authorise it so as to use it on a different computer (or the same computer if, for exampel, you upgrade the OS)
