How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

  • How to restore bookmarks after installing Yahoo Messenger deleted them?

    Tried to import from Mozilla program files, gonna uninstall messenger see if that makes a difference...
    Thanks

    Best is to first find and undelete the previous profile folder and then undelete the bookmarkbackups folder in it with the JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json)
    If you can recover an uncorrupted JSON back then you can use it to restore the bookmarks.

    HELP! moved "all images" to trash by mistake. They are still there but I can't undo. How can i return photos to iphoto? Thx!

    Thanks but I have no "Put Back" option when right-clicking. When I attempt to open a photo in iPhoto I receive a white exclamation point on a black background. I have restarted my PC since first encountering this problem but have not emptied trash though i appear to be out of memory. Also, iphoto library shows size as 17GB however, each photo shows 0KB. When i attempt to open a photo i receive message "Item <photo filename> is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened." I can see the images when scrolling in iPhoto but they disappear when the screen is still. THANKS!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?, I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?

    I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?,

    You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

  • PH2668 I have delete some contact that i dont need anymore. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

    I have delete contact out of my phone. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

    I'm a bit confused by your post.
    When you delete a contact, I assume it is no longer listed in the Contacts app, right?
    When a send a text, what exactly do you mean "they are still there"?  Can you then go back into contacts and find the contact listed again? 
    Are you syncing contacts via icloud to several devices that you own?

  • There are 26 songs on my iphone that no matter what I do will not delete or play, they play on my computer but on my phone they wont go away, i tried swiping to delete them and unchecking them but they are still there. Any advice?

    There are songs on my iphone 4 that will no play or delete. They play and work on itunes on my computer but they will not play on my phone and I am trying to delete them. I deleted all the songs, but these will not delete. Any help?

    They are not on the iphone in the first place.  It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone.  If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

  • When importing, de-select images I want removed from disk. After import they are still there?

    When I take all the raw images from my card and put in a new folder on my desktop. I then move folder to my pictures folder on a MAC/lightroom 4.Then open up LR and select onlyy images I am interested in and (remove from disk) ones I don't want. Then import to lightroon, for some reason they are still in folder in pictures?

    It is not very clear what you are exactly doing.
    Did you import them all and want to delete after importing , then :
    The choice you get is:
    Remove ( from Lightroom) and
    Delete from Disk,  it is only the latter that will delete them from your disk.
    During import you can not delete not selected files.

  • I have two photo albums in my phone that I want to delete and I can't through the edit option or itunes, how can I delete them, they are taking up too much space on my phone?

    Help, I have two albulms that I'm having trouble deleting through my phone and itunes.

    Hi
    If the Photoalbums were loaded from iTunes on a computer they can only be removed by Itunes and a computer. 
    If the albums were created on your iPhone then they are deleted on your iPhone,
    Ih tyey are iTunes sourced albums you need to connect back up to iTunes/computer  that you have been using.  In the device  Photo tab deselect all the checkboxes that are being asked to sync.
    Select apply in the lower right corner.

  • My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to version 7.0.2 ( not that I want to after reading all the horror stories).  My memory is 23.3gb available and ap is 3.3gb and....twice I've deleted pics from album and they are still there !

    My IPad 6.1.3 is not allowing me to upgrade to 7.0.2 (not that I want to after the horror stories) but I would like your advice on what to do. It's not memory because I have 23.3gb available. Also, my delete button in photos does not appear to be working.  I've deleted several pics twice and lo and behold, still there. My question is should I even upgrade to 7.0.2, what happens if I do not ?  And how do I get that delete button to delete ?  When first purchased, worked fine. Now....problems. Also, don't like the idea of having to pay for their support such as one time support question for $19.99 ?  Really ? Don't they all make enough $$ off the users of their products ? Okay, that's me last question.  Hope you can help me !  Thank you !

    You can only back up an iOS device (such as you iPhone) to iCloud, not your computer.  This explains how to back up your phone to either iCloud or to your comptuer using iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766.

  • Trouble setting an album from iphoto as screensaver. It says no photos exist in the album and yet they are clearly there.

    An album in iphoto has 134 photos in it and yet when asked to use for screensaver in system preferences it reads as no photos. Even if I selec all......

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How to have Acrobat X skip deleted pages in its counting as if they are still there?

    WHat I mean is this, You have pages, the actual paper so to speak, numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6.......45. You could see each number on the bottom of the page. As is you have on the top left corner which pge you're on based on the toal pages, for ex. 7 / 49 If you happen to be on page 7 on a total of 49 pages. Assume now you delete the numbered page 7. What you have now is still page 7 showing on the top left corner but on the actual pdf it is page 8. My question is, assuming it is possible, to make that top corner equal to the actual page. In other words page 7, in this example would nevber show up on the top left corner since it no longer exists. Or to put it in other words, what is on top must equal the actual page number on the document at all tiimes, and preferable do this automatically each time a page is deleted (which I do often, quite often)
    Thank you

    This can be done either manually, by setting the so-called page labels (the
    text that you see in the page navigation part of the toolbar), or by using
    a script (if it can identify the page number on the page). It can't be done
    automatically.

  • I am trying to clear my browser history of sites with shift+delete, which always worked before. However, lately when I go back to see if they really deleted it turns out they are still there. Even clearing my private data doesn't work. What to do?

    I checked to see if maybe the sites were bookmarked, but they are not. At this point, no matter what I do no site I've ever visited in my browser history is being cleared. This is a recent problem however, popping up in the last few days.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
