How do I delete photos in the trash can?
I have A LOT of photos in my iphoto trash can that i would like to delete permanently. How do I go about doing that?
Which trash can? The one in iPhoto? If that's the one you're referring to go to to the iPhoto menu and select the "Empty Trash" option.
Be warned that other users have had trouble with iPhoto crashing when they tried to delete a large number of photos from the trash at once. I suggest you follow the tip at the bottom of my post before trying to empty the trash. I'd also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine, before emptying the trash. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Just to make sure all is set properly.
If iPhoto does crash you'll have to move them back to the library and try deleting in smaller numbers, 50 or so.
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.

Do you mean photos that were synced from a computer ? If you do then you will need to reconnect your iPad or iPhone (this is the Using iPad forum) to your computer's iTunes and move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync - synced photos can't be deleted directly on a device

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. -

Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?
How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?
your question is not clear
if you want to delete unimported photos you can not using iPhoto -image capture can and youcan do it on yoru IOS device or yoru camera
If you want to import only select items and you have a current version of iPhoto then you select the ones you want and use the import selected cuttom
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Deleting photos from iphoto trash can
I can not delete photos from iphoto trash can, I get a notice that they are locked.
these photos were deleted along time ago from the hard drive.
I was surprised to see them, where are they ? so I can delete them,I can't do it from the trash can.Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then try emptying the trash bin again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
ize. If it does -
Long story short, I downloaded garageband and deleted it in the trash can and emptied it. When i o to the apple store it says that its installed but i cant find it nowhere in the iMac. Please help
Yet another example of why it's a VERY BAD IDEA to do a clean install of Lion unless you are already VERY familiar with how to tweak the Mac OS. There's a reason Apple engineers removed it as an option. To accomplish it you have to erase your disk; not for the faint hearted.
Do you have a backup? PLEASE don't tell us you did this without a robust backup.
You erased the operating machine, so your computer went to the only place it could find one, the Recovery partition. And it's minimal, so it has to download everything in small chunks to reinstall itself. So yeah, it could take 10 hours.
Here's another option. Do you still have the original disks that came with your machine? Put one in and restart from it. You can reinstall your old system much faster. Then go to the Mac App Store and your purchase history and see if you can redownload Lion (I think that still works).
And this time just do yourself a favor and install per Apple's instructions. When the machine starts into Lion, use Setup ***'t (the first thing that fires up) to migrate from your backup.

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.
