How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library

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 an old file from my library on iTunes

Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated. But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library. How can I delete the old file? So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there. Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

Please help!!!!
How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
For example: DSC_0022.jpg

Hello,
Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad? These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear. I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
Thanks
York

Interesting note: I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen. The video does not open. I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

In addition to johngrussel's suggestion the delete key by itself will run the Remove from Album comand.
Note that's the delete key with no modifier.Command-delete will delete the version from the project.
