How do I delete videos that have been imported from iPhoto?

Somehow I imported to iMovie 11 all the videos I have in iPhoto and they've been broken down into clips (thumbnails?). I don't want those videos/clips in iMovie or on my hard drive at all! (I just want to keep the originals in iPhoto.) How can I actually delete them rather than hiding/moving them? I've tried highlighting them and using Delete or Command/Delete, but that doesn't seem to work.

iMovie does not have a physical copy of your clips. They reside in the iPhoto library and iMovie references them there. You have to delete them in iPhoto. But be careful, that is your only copy.
You can prove this to yourself by right-clicking on one of your iPhoto event clips in iMovie and selecting "REVEAL IN FINDER". It should take you to a folder within iPhoto.

    I want to delete photos that have been copied from my computer to my i-pad,i can delete albums but not phots?

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

    How do I get CDs that have been imported into my iTunes library to sync/transfer to my iPhone?? All the material that I purchased from iTunes has transferred just fine, but although the CDs will import to iTunes, they will not sync up with my phone. How do I do this?? I am very frustrated and would greatly appreciate any help.

    In what format did you import the cds?
    I have never had an issue with this.

  • How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

    There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

    That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
    If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of  our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
    Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

  • How do i remove email addresses that have been imported from my email account?

    Select each photo in the smart collection with the missing question mark icon. Use Cmd+Click or Shift+Click on the first and last if they are all in a consecutive block. Then click top left on the Catalog tab and choose All Photographs. Confirm from the information strip (above the filmstrip) that you are in All Photographs and the number of photos you have selected and then use the menu:

  • Deleting files that have been extracted from a zip archive

    Can we PLEASE get an update that will allow us to delete the files that were extracted from a zip archive. This is ridiculous. A quick google brings back loads of threads all over the place about people who want to be able to delete files but can't because of some daft bug. 
    How are RIM not aware of this? Do they not care?

    There is a bug in the .zip decompressor used by the native file manager. It incorrectly applies file permissions sometimes stored in the archive to the extracted files, preventing them from being deleted by us mere mortals. Once extracted, there's nothing you can do.
    <plug>
      You could, of course, use Files & Folders to extract your zip files, which doesn't suffer from this problem.

    How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.
