How do I get rid of unwanted photo libraries?

I can get rid of photos if they are in my cameral roll, but I cannot get rid of them if they are in photo libraries. For some reason my iTunes downloaded pictures from my macbook onto my ipod which I never asked it to do. I want to get rid of these because they are old and no longer needed. However, when I click on one there is no trash button available. So how can I get rid of them?

Review your syncing settings in iTunes for Photos. You probably checked for syncing some smart albums, such as Newest Photos, Last Three Events, etc.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

How do I get rid of the photo stream on my iphone 5? Loads of weird icons I don't want/need. Tx

On your iOS device, you can remove photos from the Photo Stream view by turning off Photo Stream and then optionally turning it back on. You can do this at Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
If you added any Photo Stream photos to other albums or the Camera Roll on your iOS device, you can locate and delete these photos manually.

How do I get rid of "Apple Photo Streams.exe has stopped working" on Windows 7

The error message "Apple Photo Stream.exe has stopped working" keeps popping up when I start my PC which has a 64 bit Windows 7 OS. How do I get rid of this?

I saw that uninstalling and then reinstalling the iCloud control panel on your computer corrects it. I did this and it worked for a while but I'm getting it again. Any ideas?? Thanks!

How can I get rid of unwanted text in my preview?

My book looks the way I want it to look on my mac. But when I preview it on my iPad unwanted text "Untitled" and "Section 1 appears. How can I get rid of these words? Can I replace them with something else?

Those elements are editable at whatever level they appear. As an example, go to the first page in a section, then click on/inside the title...select and edit accordingly.

How do I get rid of unwanted ads on my homepage

When I open my home page, ads not supported by the site pop up at the top, moving the page down so i can't read the news. In a few seconds it moves to the bottom of the page where another unwanted ad is shown. How do I get rid of them? I have already checked "Block Popup Windows". What else can I do?

this might be a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

HT2500 how can i get rid of my photo on emails

In the last week my outgoing emails and any email I print have a small square photo of me on them. DISLIKE! How can I get rid of this? Any help is appreciated.

That photo is not transmitted with the email. It is just a little tinsel thing that shows in Mail and address book, but only on your computer, no-one elses.
I think playing around with Photobooth adds it, but if you go to System preferences Accounts, the photo will be there as well, and it is editable if you click on it. Change it to something else.

How do I get rid of 'add photo' link on published photo album?

I don't see it on my iWeb file but it shows on my published website on the photo album page: a link that says:
+ Add photo
Any idea on how to remove that? Thanks!!

To get rid of the download button, open the Photos inspector and select "Photos Download Size - none".
This will not stop people from downloading images by control clicking. All this does is remove the convenient button.

How do I get rid of unwanted downloaded apps/programs that "came with" my download?

I just downloaded PhotoShop Elements 12 - which I needed for work - onto my brand new Mac, and now there are these annoying UNWANTED apps sitting there that I can't get rid of: checkclientstatus, AALauncherUtil and macui. Hope can I dump these things? Really puts a bad taste in my mouth about wanting to download anything else from Adobe in the future.

kglad - Thanks so much for responding so quickly and trying to help. It took awhile, but I finally found out where they were located and how to dislodge them. It's just incredibly annoying when someone - or something - else lodges itself in your "home" and attaches with electronic superglue...especially when you're just moderately tech-savvy. It's nice to know someone out there - who is - was willing to help.
(clearly, they weren't apps, but they popped up on my Launchpad like them...as I said, I'm moderately tech-savvy...if that...)

How do I get rid of EZ Photo?

I attempted to install a "bonus" disk of software utilities that was bundled with another software product that included Adobe Album Starter.
I was not impressed and uninstalled it. . .or I thought I did.
The EZ Photo segment (apparently produced by Computer Associates) would not go away.
It started to open with launch of completely un-associated programs (like Msoft Word. . .each time I would open Word, one of the icons at the top would suddenly be "EZP". Every time I would reopen Word there was another "EZP" until the entire row of icons would say "EZP"!)
The module did not show in the "install and remove programs", so I did the worst and searched for each occurance of the program and deleated the files. I know this is not the way to do it but it was becoming an annoyance (!).
It didn't help. Somehow there is a bunch of code that still lives.
I also get error messages saying something like "Computer Associates has encountered a problem and needs to close." What ever I was working on at the time was lost.
HOW CAN I REMOVE ALL TRACES OF THIS VIRUS?
Sorry. I feel better now. . .but all the time I am working and am waiting for the message.
I talked to Computer Associates and they say they did have a part in EZ Photo's creation, but could do nothing about it.
I would call Adobe. . .but then you know what that is like.
Can somebody help me?
Jim

I really can't figure out what you're talking about. You say:
> one of the icons at the top would suddenly be "EZP"
What icons at the top of what?
What makes you believe that this "EZ Photo" is anything to do with PSA SE? I have PSA SE installed and can find no trace of this other software on my machine.

How can I get rid of hidden photos in my iPad?

Yes, I've seen this question from others and all of its answers: just connect the iPad to your computer, go to iTunes, go to the tab Photos etc.
I have 4.5 Gb (300 photos) on my iPad that I can not find anywhere.
I understand they are synced from somewhere on my computer, but I don't know from where since I can not see the photos on my iPad.
In iTunes
- I can select or deselect 'Sync Photos' and then click on 'Sync' in the bottom right corner of my screen without any result.
- I can sync to some empty folder I created for the occasion without any result.
- I can choose an empty album and sync to it without any result.
If I select sync with 'All photo's, albums, events and faces' I can see (at the bottom of the page on the bar showing what amount of space is used by what on my iPad) the amount of space Photos use on my iPad increase. If I choose 'Selected albums' the amount of space decreases back to the original 4,5 Gb, although there are NO albums and NO events selected in the list below. One should expect that syncing with an empty folder would create an 'empty' result - it does not.
So the solutions given in the various posts on this subject don't seem to work for me.
(and I am rather disappointed in Apple because I love their products for their ease of use…)
Anyone out there who understands the description of my problem AND has a solution?
Many thanks in advance!
Jacques

When you say that you can't find them anywhere, I assume that you mean that you can't find them on the iPad even though the storage figure says that the photos are there.
You can try this. I don't know if this will work for you but this was recently discovered as solution for phantom photos. This was copied from a post started by gail from maine
Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to last September when iOS 8 came out, and then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Although at the Album level it will still say "0" if you tap on the Album, you will be greeted by all of the "Recently Deleted" photos that have surpassed the 30 day limit. Mine went back to when I installed iOS 8.
She found this in a post where txforever was the person that discovered how to do this.

How do I get rid of unwanted items listed on my Finder's places list? my finder

On the left side of my Finder window I have a blue background column with a list of items under "DEVICES", "PLACES" AND "SEARCH FOR". Somehow I got two items stuck in my list under "PLACES". One is a scan.jpeg. The other is an iTunes file. I have no idea how I did this. It doesn't seem to affect anything but it is annoying to me to have it there. Is there any way to delete them from this list? I have tried to do this every way I can think of and nothing works. As I wrote this, I thought I would try one last time. Finally was able to get a right click drop down for the iTunes file which gave me the option of removing it from the list. The other is still there. It will not highlight. I can drag it away from the list, but it won't land anywhere except a different place in the "PLACES" list. Any ideas?

Hey, just saw the trick about holding the Command key down while dragging the file out. Wonderful to see that "poof" and no more file. Would still like to know how I could have gotten these [as someone said "empty shells"] there, so I don't do it again.
