How can I erase all photos in one album at once.

Over the years 25.000+ photos are on my Mac filling up the hard drive.
I want to store a big number on my server, but keep some on the Mac. So I made Albums with assorted pics that I want to store in the server in groups to find them back. I export the Album, no problem. But now I want to delete them in iPhoto. In order to do that, it looks like I have to click again on every single photo in the mediathek. I cannot erase the whole album. What is that. One has to get bigger and bigger Hard drives only to keep the 1000s of foots that get collected or spend days of finding them in the whole collection.
Please help

In order to do that, it looks like I have to click again on every single photo in the mediathek.
Well let's reassure you about that. Just like everywhere on your Mac:
Click to select
Command-click to add to the selection
If the items are contiguous then click on the first and the hold the shift key and click on the last. All the items between will be selected.
Command-a will select all the items in a folder or Event or Album.
And, of course, drawing the cursor across items will select them too.
I cannot erase the whole album
Well you don't erase albums, you move their contents to the trash. In iPhoto: alt-command-delete will move all the selected items to the trash. Then empty the trash. Then, if you're using iPhoto 11, empty the system trash.
What is that. One has to get bigger and bigger Hard drives only to keep the 1000s of foots that get collected or spend days of finding them in the whole collection
Or learn how to use the app.

  • How can I edit ALL photos in an album at once instead of one at a time?

    I have approximately 300 new photos in an album and would like to rename all of them 'Rome Vacation'.  Is there a way to change all of the titles at once, or do I have to change them one at a time?
    Thanks,

  • How can I move a photo from one Album to another?

    I can touch the pic and it offers me to copy it, but how do I paste it into another album?

    You can't move pictures between albums on the iPad. You must do this on the computer that you sync the albums from.

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

  • How to add all photos in one Album

    Hi,
    I bought iMovie yesterday and I have albums in photos application. I want to add all photos in one album to iMovie.
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    They can only be added one at a time, a bit annoying but that's the way.
    Add photos
    With your project open, scroll the project timeline so that the playhead (the red vertical line) appears over the location where you want to add the photo; you can move the photo later if you want.
    If the playhead is resting over a video clip, the photo is added before or after the end of the clip closest to the playhead.
    Tap the Media Library button , and then tap the Photos button at the bottom of the screen.
    Tap Camera Roll, Photo Library, or an album, and then tap the photo you want to add.
    To preview a photo before adding it, tap and hold the photo in the Photo browser until it appears in the pop-up viewer.
    The added photo appears for a duration of 3 to 6 seconds, depending on the length of the transitions that appear before and after the photo, but you canchange this duration.
    A Ken Burns effect is also applied to the image, which means the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. You can adjust this effect. Go to Edit a photo to learn how.
    You can ask Apple to fix this in the next update:

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

    I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone?  If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

        Hello thewrongway,
    I'm sorry to hear about your phone!  I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date.  Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off.  If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thank you.

  • How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    How can I erase a photo album that was uploaded from an old computer that I don't have no more? I have other albums in the Iphone that I don't want to delete.

    If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
    The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.  You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
    If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.
