How to delete unwanted iphotos? (not edited originals)

How can I delete unwanted photos in iphoto? I don't care about deleting originals that I have been edited, I want to remove trash shots from my computer while working in iPhoto. So is there a way to delete photos from DB, w/o going into the finder. I can take 50 shots in 2 mintues. Until I upload in iPhoto, mess with them, I can't tell good from bad. I don't want to store all forever. Help?

Always remember the golden rule. Don' make any changes to the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - in the finder. Do everything working in iPhoto.
It's hard to tell what's good and what's not until you get them into iPhoto or check in Preview.
Dealing with them in iPhoto is the easiest way to do it . Look at them right after you import. You can select multiple shots by holding down the COMMAND key while clicking on the ones you want to trash. You can also use the shift key to get rid of a bunch all in a row. Click the first to select, then click the last holding down SHIFT - that will select all in a row.
Then go to the Photo drop down menu and delete or trash the photos selected.
LN -- you posted your excellent advice while I was typing.

  • How do I tell iphoto NOT to load ALL images from camea and iphone, only new images?

    I've bee using my MacBook Pro, iphoto and Nikon for many years. I travel alot and take many pictures, and like to keep them on the memory cards as an extra backup. All was going great on a recent trip, until one day, suddenly, when I plug camera into computer, iphoto opens (as usual) but it starts downloading ALL of the old images on the memory card instead of just the ones that have not already been imported! It takes forever when you are using a 16GB card!! Is this due to some update I installed? How do I tell iphoto not to do this?! I only want to see images not yet imported, as it used to be. I am using OS X 10.6.8 and iphoto '09 - 8.1.2  And, this same thing is happening with my iphone, and my other camera.

    iPhoto does read all images (how else can it know if it has already imported them or not) and then gives your oppertunity to import new, all or selected
    Yes it does take a bit to get all images and see what needs to be imported - I use 32 GB cards - and the other issue is that if you delete impoprted photos next time you use the card the deleted ones will be in the new list so you have to select the rest and import selected - I've found no solution to this

  • How do I change the Not Editable flag of a variable?

    How do I change the Not Editable flag of a variable?  I need to edit the variable but right now the Not Editable box is checked.

    You can't do it unfortunately.  That's why it pops up a warning when you check it in the first place.
    Ok seriously though there is a workaround for this.  It's a total hack but may get you back to where you need to be without having to copy everything to a new sequence file. 
    WARNING:  Not sure what versions of TS this will work with.
    With the offending sequence file open go to Edit>>Sequence File Properties. 
    On the General tab change the File Format to XML. 
    Click OK. 
    Save the sequence file.
    Now browse to where you saved the sequence file and open it with Notepad.
    Search for FileGlobal and look for the offending variable. <MyGlobal classname='Num' valueflags='1'>
    It should have a property called valueflags.  It will be valueflags='1'.
    Remove that property altogether.  So it should be something like this: <MyGlobal classname='Num'>
    Save it and reopen it in TestStand.
    You may need to change it back to binary format from within TestStand.
    If deleting it gives you problems then just change the valueflags to 0.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.

    On a 5230 highlight the route you wish to delete, then hit the search bar. The keypad appears, then just press the backward pointing small white arrow on the far right hand side of the screen about half way down and it will then say "Delete selected route?"

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

    Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section.  The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
    Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

  • How to delete unwanted apps

    How do I delete unwanted apps that I do not want anymore?  And also to where they are not even stored in iCloud?  How does one get rid of iCloud?  I think somehow I got an iCloud account that I do not even want... is there a way to get rid of that?  Thanks in advance.

    Tap and hold on the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "X" that appears. Note, you cannot delete the preinstalled apps.
    Apps are not stored in your iCloud account. Only you would know if you signed up for an iCloud account. If you don't want to use it, log out. Settings>iCloud.

  • Have synced all photos from pc. how to delete unwanted photos on  iphone?

    i did not realise i was syncing all photos in my pc to my iphone. there is a lot of junk photos. but i cannot see how to delete them off my iphone. help please

    This is the reason.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences are not transferred to your iPhone's camera roll.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are photos that were captured by your iPhone, or photos saved from a received email or from a website. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    With a Mac, this can be done with iPhoto if you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your Mac, or with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Both include an option to delete the photos from your iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If you don't want to save these photos, you can delete the photos from iPhoto or from your designated location where the imported photos are saved if you use the Image Capture application for the import.

  • How to delete unwanted pages?

    Greetings all:
    I'm very new to using FrameMaker, and I seem to be struggling with deleting unwanted pages.  I was hoping someone could help me with this problem. 
    Thanks!

    Hi Irene; welcome to the club!
    Assuming your file is stand-alone, you probably have the pagination set to double-sided and "make page count odd"... so a trailing left page would always be generated.
    If your file(s) are in a book, the pagination of Chapter 1 is actually controlled by how Chapter 2 is set to open, and so on through the book. If Chapter 2 is set to start on a right  hand page, Chapter 1 will generate a blank page at the end of the file, if it's required to make Chapter 2's opening page  happen correctly. This ripples all through the book. Note that pagination in a book is controlled by the book file -- right click one or more component files to see the pagination properties.
    In either case, you can temporarily delete the extra pages by using Special > Delete Page, but it'll pop back up when the file is saved / reopened unless you track down which pagination property is causing it and change that setting.

  • How to make Popup LOV Not Editable?

    Hello,
    I started using a Select List (named LOV) as an element in a report. However, I go the error:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    So I switched to a Popup LOV (named LOV) which is working. However the Popup LOV is a list of part numbers that I donot want the user to change. I want him to select from the list I give him and only this list. After the Popup LOV closes the user can modify the text box that the part number the user selected from the Popup LOV appears in. So how do I make the text box next to the Popup LOV icon not editable??
    Thanks for the help...

    Hello, not sure if you are using "Popup LOV(fetches first rowset)" or not, but switching to "Popup Key LOV(Displays description, returns key value)" might
    work for you.
    Regards,
    Geoff

  • How to delete unwanted microsoft word files...PLEASE!

    I would love to know how to delete files in microsoft word that are saved under my documents. The only way I can delete a saved word documsnet is when it has ONLY been saved to the desktop, then I drag it to the trash. When it has been saved to my documents or on the harddrive anywhere, there is no way I can find to delete it. And since I want to clean up my word documents I need to delete the files I no longer use.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    I know microsoft word is not an "apple software" but it did come on my mac, and when I had a PC (a compaq) it was easy to delete fiels I no longer used. So I thoguht the best way to get an answer for this would be to contact apple support.
    Please someone answer, I have been trying to find this answer for months! Thanks!

    Late post for the archives--another fix:
    I'm guessing the problem is trying to use File | Open to bring up a window that shows files, and delete from there. This works in Windows, but not on the Mac (true for any program, not just Word).
    On the Mac, you have to delete files from within the Finder (the equivalent of Windows Explorer). Go to the desktop and hit apple-N (cmd-N) to bring up a Finder window. Set it to Column View. Now you can browse to any location on your harddrive and drag a file to the trash.
