How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

"Photo Library" is a place where you can access all photos synced to your iphone. They are not duplicate photos. It is simply another place form which to access the smae photos that are in your folders/albums
Just as a book is in the public library and in the fiction section, your pics are in the Photo Library and in your folder. There is only one pic, simply two places from which to access the same pic.
If you want to delete pics synced to you iphone, then deselect them in itunes and sync.

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

How to delete TV Shows from iTunes Library

How do I delete TV Shows from the iTunes Library? I have tried right clicking and selecting delete...I have tried dragging them to the recycling bin....NOTHING seems to work.
Everytime I connect my iPhone to my computer iTunes tries to upload the TV shows to my phone...
I just want them deleted & gone for good!
Help! Please!

I found it!
In the upper left corner click on the TV Shows icon.
On the right about half way down click on "Purchased".
This is the important part, click on "My TV Shows". A list of all of your shows will appear.
Click on the show you want to delete. You can select all seasons or a single season or just a single show.
Click on "Edit" in the menu bar near the top of the page. If you don't see the menu bar press ctrl+B to show/hide the menu bar.
Click on "Delete" and you will be prompted to confirm the delete. Click "Delete".
You will then be asked if you want to keep the files. Click on "Delete Files".

Anyone know how to delete an App from itunes library?

Hi All,
I have a number of Apps that I have tried to remove from my itunes account. These are just games that I no longer play or have never played.
First I tried selecting the App in itunes, then Edit/Delete then it will ask you if you want to remove file. Then I emptied the trash.
This did not work. Now every time an update is available for the previously deleted App it will download that update then try and re-download the full game.
Secondly I have tried going to "finder" and finding the file on the Mac HD. and then deleting the file/game this way.
This also did not work and again the game is try to re-download.
As you can imagine this is becoming quite annoying and is starting to clog up my downloads when I check for other updates.
Can anyone help???
Regards,
Pete

Thanks but this didn't resolve a thing.

I have no problem deleting the app from my mobile device.
The problem comes when I delete it from itunes and form my iMac. I know that the Apps are stored in the "mobile application" folder on my Mac HD. But even when deleting the file from that location the App still re-downloads every time I check for updates in itunes app store.
No matter how many times I delete the file and no matter where I delete it from, It always downloads again.
I no longer want these apps why can't I delete them completely?

HT201317 how to delete photos from photo library iphone4s

how to delete photos from photo library iphone4s?

Nope I am using the same Photo Library, not the camera roll and by the looks of it you don't have your iphone updated to the newst version because I have an extra field in the bottom bar for photostreaming.
When I go in any of the above folders I can remove pictures as well as you can see in the pictures below!?
Hope this helps...

How to delete photos from photo library?

Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck the folder containing the photos you want to remove (or to remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your device. If you only want to remove individual photos rather than the entire folder, move them out of the folder on your computer, then sync.

How do I move photos from one library to another?

I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

Best way is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
you can export form one library and import into the other one but this does not get all metadata or versions

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

Depends on exactly what you want to do.
Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button.
After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.

I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager. Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A and drag them to library B in iPLM.

Deleting photos from main library while in Smart Album.

anyone know of a key sequence to delete a photo from the library when viewing the photo in a smart album?
I have over 1700 photos. Sometimes I want to delete all photos within a smart album but you can not do that by just selecting delete; that only deletes it from the album and not the library. as of right now the easies way I have found to do this is to perform a batch change and rename all files the same name, then perform a search within the main library for those files and then delete them. I refuse to think Apple didn't think about creating a "delete from main library" shortcut.

Option Command Delete works for Smart albums also. At least that is what it says in the iPhoto Help/iPhoto keyboard shortcuts in the menu bar.

Delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselectg the album in itunes and sync.
Photo Album contains ALL synced photos and you can also view those exact same photos, not duplicates, from the albums.
