How do I delete photos from an album?

I am trying to delete photos from albums I made this morning but no matter where I look all I get is a method that does not work as it tells me firstly to select album then select photo - this I cannot do.  What am I doing wrong?

Do you have a mouse or trackpad?  Are you able to click on an item in the Finder and select it? If so try the following:
1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
3 - 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • How do you delete photos from the albums on 4S?

    How do you delete photo's and why is there the camera roll and Iphone roll? most ae duplicates?

    Photos synced to iphone have never had a trash can.  You delete them the same way you put them there - the sync process.
    If you do not want something on the iphone, then go to the phtos tab, deselect it and sync.
    Photo Album is not a duplicate.  It is simply another place from which to access the same pics as you have in your synced albums.  This is how iphone handles photos - always has.
    All photos synced to iphone can be accessed from Photo Library.  Those very same photos can alos be accessed from your individual photo albums.

    How do you delete photos from an album which is not part of the camera roll?

    You'll have to that on the computer you use to sync your photos with. After you deleted or deselected the photos or folders that you don't want anymore in the photo pane in iTunes, syncing will remove them from your phone.

  • How do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

    You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

    How do I delete pictures from my albums other then the camera roll and my photo stream

    Photos in albums that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are removed the same way. Move the photo or photos you want to delete from the selected album or folder of photos on your computer followed by a sync.

  • How can I delete photos and or albums from my iphone without having to delete them in all locations?  I have some pictures in an album that i want to remove them from but when I try it asks do I want to delete picture  from all loc

    I have pictures in albums on my iphone.  I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations.  I only want to delete it from 1 album.  Is this possible to do?

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • How do I merge photos from one album to another on my iPad

    How do I merge photos from one album to another.  How do I delete, remove albums.

    If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
    If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

    My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

    When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

    If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
    all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library.  Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
    If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto.  Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

    Camera roll is the master list of all photos in the app.  When you place a photo in an album, it's still in the camera roll.

    How do I delete photos from my ipad ios7.0.1

    What is your iPhoto version on your iPad?
    Photos in the Camera roll can be deleted, when browsing them and tapping "Delete".
    In iPhoto 2.0 you would delete photos like this: iPhoto Help (iPad):   Delete photos
    Delete photos
    Depending on how your photos and video clips were added to iPhoto, do one of the following:
    Photos and video clips taken with your device: In iPhoto, tap Albums, tap Camera Roll, tap to select the photos, tap , tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete. The photos are deleted from both iPhoto and your device.
    Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply.
    Photos in the Beamed, Photo Box, iTunes, or [App] album: Tap a photo, tap (tap Edit if you don’t see the tool), tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete.

    How do I delete photos from my  iPad? When I push the red delete button nothing happens.

    Which photos are you trying to delete?
    You should be able to delete photos in your Camera Roll that have been taken by your device or copied to it from emails, websites, etc.
    Photos that were transferred to your device during a sync process are deleted by doing another sync but before syncing deselect those albums you no longer want.

  • Deleting photos from iphone album

    I have an Iphone 3G on 4.2.1. I recently synchronised around 80 photos onto my phone but cannot seem to now delete them. How do you delete photos from photo albums ? When I synchronise, the photos box is unticked and I always answer "yes" to "do you wish to remove existing photos ?" (but it doesn't remove them)

    The Camera Roll album contains the photos taken by the device or captured from other sources. When you copy a photo to another album, the whole photo is not copied. Instead a pointer is created in the new album that points to the original photo. If the original is deleted the pointers are also deleted.
    If you really want to clear your Camera Roll album and keep the photos, back up the photos to the computer you normally sync with using iPhoto on a Mac or whatever image capture application you have on your pc. Once the photos are on your computer you can delete them from the Camera Roll on your iPhone and organize them how you like by putting them in albums in iPhoto on your Mac or into folders on your pc. Then sync your iPhone and select the albums you want on the phone.
    The advantage to this system is that you have backup copies of your photos on your computer should something happen to your photos on the iPhone.
