    I dragged a copy of a photo onto my desktop from iPhoto, and it seems to be in some state of process/activity (vs. just being a copy of a photo on my desktop).  I tried to delete/move to trash the photo, and I keep getting the following message:  “DSC_0073.JPG” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.
    How do I delete this photo from my desktop?
    Thanks!

    I ended up shutting down my system, and when I started it back up, I was able to drag the photo to the trash and delete it (I did get a message warning that my deleting the photo might negatively affect the application that was "using" it, but I deleted it anyway...it worked...and I'm hoping I didn't adversely affect another application!).
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • 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 do I delete multiple photos from library?

    Hi All
    On my iphone - how do I delete multiple photos from the library without having to do 1 at a time?
    Thanks

    In the album, tap on the little forward arrow in the upper right corner. From there you can tap as many photos as you'd like, and at the bottom, you'll have the options to Share, Copy, Add To, or Delete.

  • HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

    How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

    If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices.  To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll).  To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import.  You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos.  If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
    To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you only want to delete them go ahead.  Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

  • How do I delete multiple photos from the Camera Roll?

    How do I delete multiple photos from camera roll without doing it one at a time?

    Thanks for your posts on this - it's something I've been wondering about, too.
    I do agree with Bonzo that it seems strange that there isn't a way to do it *efficiently* without having to hook the iPad to a computer.
    I know there is an alternative: in other words, you're right, Lawrence - it is possible to delete multiple files at once by following your instructions (i.e. tapping on each photo once, etc.) - but if you want to delete lots of photos, it takes ages to tap on every one of them.
    Does anyone else out there know of a way to delete multiple photos on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch without having to tap on each photo separately, or having to hook up to a computer?
    I'd be really grateful for any help on this. Thanks!

  • I would like to know how I can delete sync photos from my ipad as I have tried everything to delete them as they are unwanted and it was a first time try

    I am having problems deleting unwanted photos from my photos app on my ipad, I synced with my pc as i wanted to see how the system worked, and now i cannot delete any of them, even with the delete button at the top left hand side, which does not function

    If it was synced from your computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select it from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • How do i delete certain photos from an album on my ipad?

    how do i delete photos from my ipad?

    The only photos you can delete from the iPad directly are the photos in your Camera Roll.  To do that, select the photo and tap Delete.
    Other photos, for example in an album or in Photostream, cannot be deleted directly from the iPad.  For photo albums, you have to delete the photos from your computer.  For Photostream, you cannot delete photos individually... you have to delete the entire stream.

  • How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

    I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

    This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
    In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
    Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
    Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 does one delete specific photos from ipod touch 2nd gen (with ios 4.2.1)?

    I would like to delete some photos from my ipod touch 2g, ios 4.2.1, but I can't just sync it to my (new) computer because then all of them would get deleted because I don't have the photos that I have on my ipod on my new computer. Help!?
    Thanks

    - You can email the ones you want to retain and the restore the the iPod on the the new computer
    - You can use a third-party like PhoneView or TouchCopy (both paid) and maybe the free
    iFunBox for Mac | File Manager, Browser, Explorer, Transferer for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    tio copy them to the computer.
