How do i delete photos in my library without having them auto delete from albums I've created

My photo library is HUGE.  I want to delete photos from the library WITHOUT having them removed from specific albums I've already created.  Why do they auto delete from albumns???

You can not
Albums are not a place - they are one of many ways to view the photos in your library - each photo exist one and only one time - Events, Photos, albums, last import, last "n" months, etc are simply different way to view the photo - none take up additional disk space
If you delete a photo form the library it is gone from every view of it

  • Is there a way to delete podcasts on an iphone without having them reappear on every sync?

    I want to delete podcasts from my iphone after I am done listening to them, which works like a charm. The problem is that every time I sync, it download them again! For some reason the Iphone and ITunes refuese to talk to one another to ackowledge that I have deleted a particular podcast and Itunes dumps it right back onto my phone.
    It's like a vampire that keeps coming back.
    Is there a nice simple (Apple should be good at that...) way to delete them once and for all? I looked for a "When I delete songs I really mean delete" checkbox but there is none.
    Why would they allow you to delete something if it will just come back and clog up your memory on the next sync?

    Same thing here with me!!
    I like to have auto download setting on my itunes so i get the latest 'Harvard Business Review' podcast. I started getting into podcats about 6 months ago and think they're great!
    I downloaded them all as there is some catching up to do!
    I want the latest podcasts downloaded.
    Podcasts that I have listened to partly or fully gone off my iphone! and not synced back on
    Podcasts that I have chosen to delete off my iphone, not synced back on (some weeks they discuss a topic which really does not interest me in my field.)
    ..I dont want to manually tick them all either!
    Any help appreciated!
    It seems to make perfect sense for me to manage these this way from my iphone (as a podcast is for listening on the go!), yet doesnt seem possible?

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

  • How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone?

    How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone!

    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.

    Yes but if you have not done so, backup your iPhoto library. That way if there's a problem, you can restore from a backup.

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

  • How can I search photos in my library by definition (300dpi or 72dpi) ?

    Hi, I have several questions before buy Lightroom licence but I haven't find how to do with trial version.
    1° How can I search photos in my library by definition (300 dpi or 72 dpi) ?
    2° Is it possible to search photos by same chromatic scale (all photos with most green for example, to match with a green page setting)
    3° Is it possible to find doubloons (exactly same photo but not same title or format) ?
    (I'm french, so please try to make simple answer)
    Thank you for your answer.
    Aline

    1) This question is based on a misunderstanding of resolution. A digital photo does not have resolution, i.e. it is neither 300 ppi nor 72 ppi not anything else ppi. A digital image has only a pixel dimension - so many pixels horizontal, so many vertical. That's all. Resolution comes only into play when we print an image. For a quality print we need a certain minimum amount of dots per inch. But as long as the image is digital (in the camera or on the computer) it has only pixel dimension - for instance 2000 x 3000 pixels. Therefore you cannot search by 300 ppi or 72 ppi.
    2) What do you mean by "chromatic scale"?  And what do you mean by "photos with most green"?
    Do you mean search for a photo that is taken - let's say - in a forest vs. a photo taken in the desert? No, you can't search for that in Lr since Lr does not recognize image content.
    But if you mean by "mostly green" a color label - yes you can search for photos that have a green color label (or a red one, or yellow, etc.)
    3) No. As already mentioned, Lr does not recognize image content. An exact duplicate of an image that has a different file name is a different image for Lr.

  • Ability to Delete Photos anywhere in Library Module

    At present, I can only delete photos in the Library "All Photographs" or "Previous Import". I'd like the ability to delete these from the Keyword section or Collections as well.

    Don, thanks very much it works on my PC as Shift-Alt-Ctrl-Delete. Incidentally, Ive gone from my *istD to the 10K and love the new body!!
    Lee, yes, you can Delete from any folder view; however, it doesn't necessarily Trash the file to the Recycling Bin (PC). Thanks for replying.

  • How do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me

    how do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me?

    Your computer's iTunes can only be used to remove photos that were synced from a computer (or to sync different folders), it won't show camera kit photos or photos taken with the iPad.
    You should be able to delete them either via Image Capture, Aperture or iPhoto on your Mac (they should let you import and delete them ; in Image Capture you should be able to select and delete them via the 'no entry' bottom left without importing them).
    In the Photos app in thumbnail view you should be able to select the photos that you want to delete via the Select button top right of the screen and then tap the trashcan icon top left ; if viewing a photo fullscreen then tap the trashcan icon bottom right to delete it.

  • How can I hide photos in my library?

    How can you hide photos in the library in iphoto 4.0.3 ?
    Please help,
    David

    One way you can (unsecurely) hide your photos is to put iPhoto into View by FilmRoll. Simply close any rolls containing photos you don't want seen though this will put all photos in those rolls out of sight. This doesn't block anyone from opening those rolls but it keeps them out of sight as people scroll thru (under supervision).
    Another way is to simply trash all pictures you don't want seen since most people don't bother looking in the trash. You can pull them out later unless you make (or allow) the big mistake of emptying the trash before undeleting them. Make a backup.
    Perhaps the best option is to go to iPhoto preferences and turn on sharing. You can then choose which albums to share with other accounts on the same computer. Log into a different account (create one if necessary) when you want to let someone browse your library. From that other account they will only be able to see the albums you have approved for sharing

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.
