How do I select photos in library from the side bar (source) folder?

I have placed photos from the library at different times in a side (source) folder. I now want to delete them. However, they are spread all over the library. If I delete them from the side folder they still remain in library. Is there a way to identify the library photos from the side folder, select and delete them in an easy way, rather than spend hours trying to find them individually?
Thanks, Max

Hi MaxFS,
To delete photos from both an album and the Library
at the same time:
Select the photo/photos in the album
press the Command-Option-Delete keys
this will remove the photo/photos from the library
and all albums it is in.
thanks, very simple, it does the trick. BTW, will the same action work in iTunes?

    Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html  since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

    Restore the backup of your iPhone 5 to your iPhone 4.  It will contain your camera roll photos. 
    To do this, first make sure the iPhone 4 is running the same or higher version of iOS as your iPhone 5 was.  If it isn't, you'll need to update it first.  Then, to restore the iCloud backup, you'll have to begin by erasing the iPhone 4.  If you have any newer data on the iPhone 4 that is not contained in the iPhone 5 backup, you'll need to save that first.  When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the set screens on the iPhone 4 and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompt, choosing the backup of your iPhone 5 to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.

  • How do you access your itunes library from the icloud on your ipad

    How do you access your itunes library from the icloud on your ipad?

    You have asked two different questions?
    Your account is just a user name and password.  You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
    Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.

  • How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX 10?

    I am new to Mac and the Mountain Lion software.  Having worked exclusively with PC operating systems, I am familiar with how to work with files in Windows, but am having trouble doing similar actions in OX 10.  How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX?  Although this answer is likely in a video tutorioal (somewhere), I do not have the time to sit an arbitrarily watch generic OS videos that give a broad brush overview, without answering specific queries.  Any help out there?

    You might fun http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ to be of help to get used to doing things the Mac way.

  • I need help recovering the DOWNLOAD ICON from the side bar thing

    i don't know how but the download was gone from the side bar one day, i guess my parents did something accidentally and took it off. But i don't know. is there any way for me to get that icon back on the side bar?

    To your other post - where is the home folder - - it's the little house in the Finder sidebar with your username after it.

    but the download folder is completely gone from everywhere
    it only pops up a window when i download something
    That is not the downloads directory - that's the Safari local Downloads window. Not the same
    Now, are you saying that the real Downloads directory has been removed - deleted?
    Click on that home folder - the house icon and look carefully for a Downloads Folder. It should look like this:
    If you do not see it, perhaps it was moved.
    In the Finder search window, enter downloads. Select "This Mac" and "File Name" and see if it pops up.
    If not, do you have a backup? TM or something else?
    If not, we can create a new Downloads folder but alas, everything in the original is gone.

  • Can't get rid of items from the Side bar

    I placed some movies in the side bar and now I can't get rid of them. I was able to remove one movie that I placed in the side bar today from the side bar, but some other movies I can't remove. I don't remember putting these movies in the side bar. When I left click on these movies all that comes up is Sidebar Preferences.

    I found the answer by browsing. I am supposed to hold the Command key down and drag the item off the sidebar. It worked. I was trying to right click the item and remove it that way which didn't work.

  • How do I retrieve my iphoto library from the Time Machine back-up drive, when the original iphoto library was on a separate external hard drive that has crashed?

    I recently backed up my iMAC and Simpletech external hard-drive to a 1 TB WD Passport  external hard drive, using Time Machine's back-up utility.  Today, I tried to access my iphoto library from the back-up drive, but received a message saying "the iPhoto library is a Time Machine back up, and so cannot be used as the main library.  Relaunch iPHoto with options key held down to choose another library."  Since my Simpletech died on me, what other iPhoto library is it expecting me to access?  I know approximately 169 GB were backed up, and my iPhoto library is roughly 54 GB. 
    Angie in Charlotte

    Thanks.  I will try going through TM.  Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive.  Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
    Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means.  It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility.  Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it.  Will look into

  • HT2291 I installed Itunes on mu laptop.I down;oaded some music. The hard drive on that computer crashed. How do i get my Itunes library from the other computer to put on my new computer?

    How do i get my Itunes library from my crashed hard drive to put on my new computer? The old computer had Windows Vista and the new computer has Windows 8.

    It will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • How do I permanently delete an item from the bookmarks bar?

    When I right click and delete a bookmark in the bar, it disappears but comes back after I have shut down my computer and later boot up again.  How do I get rid of it permanently? 

    If by chance you have v10.7 Lion installed not v10.6.8 as your profile suggests, deselect Safari in System Preferences > iCloud then try deleting an item from the Bookmark bar.

  • How to hide duplicate photos that origins from the photo stream and imported photos?

    Hi,
    I are using my camera both with an IPad (through SD-card reader) and directly to my iMac.
    I want to keep the full photo archive on the iMac.
    Now the problem, that I encounter, is that if I use the iPad to look at the photos, those photos will be transfered to the photo-stream.
    Then later when I import all my photos from the camera to the i Mac, those photos that I happened to import to the iPad will show up as duplicate in iPhoto.
    Of course I only want one copy of a photo regardless if they arrive from the photo-stream or through a direct import to my iMac.
    Is there a way to fix this problem or is it simply a bug?
    I think it would be rather easy for the iPhoto software to detect duplicates and hide them.

    You can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have diffferent file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How Do I Remove Photo Downloader Icon from the notification area (system tray)

    Yes, this should be simple, but I'm baffled. Can the icon be permanently removed, or at least when when the Album Starter is not in use... other than clicking on "exit" which only brings it back when the computer is restarted without removing the program?

    From ; Terence ONeill - UK
    KILLING ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER AND TRAY ICON.
    Easy ! I use Comodo Pro Firewall.
    1) Click on DEFENSE box.
    2) Click on "View Active Process List"
    3) Look down the list of processes. Find APDPROXY.EXE.
    4) Click it, then click "Terminate and Quarantine"
    5) ALL DONE ! No more icon in tray and the program is killed.
    APDPROXY - This is lurking about, you can find it on SEARCH from the START button. BUT, you cannot delete it or move it and MSCONFIG does not work. You can disable it as many times as you like - it will keep coming back.
    SOLUTION ! Download CCleaner, it is a great little program and free.
    Using this you can click on TOOLS, then STARTUP. A list of programs are shown which are enabled at STARTUP. Disabling does not work, just click on APDPROXY and click DELETE. It`s GONE !
    All over in a flash - no more ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER.
