I can't delete in Slideshow Mode

In CS2 I could view have multiple image and I quickly go through them deleting undesired in Slideshow View. CS3 won't let me do that. When I hit delete it is still there. Then if I switch view it doesn't show the files and marks them as hidden. I am guessing it is giving them a "rejected" status. How can I avoid this?

I prefer slideshow because I can see the image at its largest size with no distractions. In CS2 I could fly through 50+ images deleting obvious ones I didn't want. I shoot products with different lighting and contrast. This way I can see the subtle changes as I key through them. I do like viewing side by side but not until I've narrowed them down.
BTW you can turn off viewing Rejected and Hidden files. Unfortunately in Slideshow and Horizontal Viewing they remain. If I click on the hidden ones Bridge crashes. Whole new set of issues.

How can I delete a slideshow outside of iPhoto?

I have a slideshow in iPhoto that is corrupt in some fashion where everytime it is selected it locks up iPhoto and requires a force-quit. I can not right click it to perform any contextual option since that also selects.
I have done the standard stuff including repairs in Disk Utility and all of the "secret" iPhoto startup options, but this errant slideshow remains.
I'm not too sure where to look in the [show package] contents of the library when accessed through the Finder.
Any ideas?

There is no way. The slideshow is an entry in the database files.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Ah ... yes ..... it does have a power button. Every iPad has the same sleep/power button in the same place on the iPad. I'm happy that you found a solution .... but maybe you should download this for reference.

I'm having trouble with downloads of Aps. I have several that have frozen during the download. I can't delete them and resetting my iPad or trying the airplane mode has not helped. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble downloading Aps on my iPad . I have several that have frozen during downloading and I can't delete them. I've tried resetting my iPad, airplane mode and going through iTunes and Aps store, nothing has helped. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem, but different circumstances. Someone gave me their iPod nano to load with tunes. I, myself, don't own an iPod, and the flimsy booklet that came with this device is pointless -- no real info. Anyway, once it was charged, I chose tunes from my library to upload to the iPod, but the entire library began to load (not just the checked selections). I made several attempts to resolve this, including an attempt to restore the iPod to its original settings. Unfortunately, now the computer and iTunes will not recognize this iPod (when iTunes is open and iPod is connected, iPod does not appear in source list, and desktop only reads the device as "iPod", as opposed to what it was originally reading it as) and I can't even get back to the part of iTunes that asks me if I want to restore the iPod. Do I have to bring this to an Apple store, or is there anyone out there who can tell me how to resolve this? I tried the "5 R's" recommended by Apple, but they don't seem to work.

Can't browse through pdf in Preview's slideshow mode

Hi!
I've been waiting for this issue to be fixed since Leopard was introduced but even at 10.5.3 nothing has happened.
When opening a multipaged pdf in Preview and going into slideshow mode (CommandshiftS), the next and previous buttons doesn't work. If you activate the "Index sheet" mode and the directly deactivate it again, the buttons work and I can browse through the pages of the pdf. This means that the functionality works but not without doing the Index sheet-trick. It's quite annoying to be having to do this every time I want to browse an e-book.
Has anybody got any ideas on how to fix this or is it a bug that should be fixed in 10.5.4?

Thanks for your swift reply M.
I think I should've been more clear in my post. I'm used to using the arrow keys on my keyboard for flicking through the pages of the pdf and this doesn't work when entering slideshow-mode, it used to work in Tiger.
Your solution is similar to the "Index"-sheet thing I used to do. When you hit the play-button you can't immediately start browsing the pdf, you have to wait until the second page loads, right? After that the arrows are working as they should, I think this behaviour should be initiated immediately upon entering the slideshow-mode.

Can't. Delete. Slideshow.....

Hey You All, I've a minor pet peeve that's been with me for a long time. In my iPhoto there are 4 slideshows. I don't know what's in said slideshows because every time I try to open (or more often, delete) them, iPhoto quits. Every single time. I've sent a few reports to Apple to I've done my duty but do you folks any idea of what I can do to get rid of them?
Also, I just noticed there is an iPhoto 6 out. I know that this is an iPhoto5 discussion group but does anyone have any info about how more stable 6 is?
Thanks.
Brian

Brian:
Although iPHoto 6 is, IMO, much better than V5 I don't think converting to it would fix your situation. I think you may have a damaged database file.
First make a backup copy of the Library.iPhoto file. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option regarding the database. See if that will let you delete the slideshow.
If that doesn't work, try removing the photos from the slideshow one by one. If one of the files causes iPhoto to crash then you can try removing it from the library entirely.
If you're still having problems, try using iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. It creates a new library by copying what it needs from the old one, leaving the old one untouched. iPLM often succeeds where the regular rebuild does not. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 2-3 hours so plan ahead.
NOTE: It's wise to make frequent backups of the Library.iPhoto file as that contains all of your library information and can restore your library if you ever get the dreaded gray window with "!" in the middle.
Do you Twango?

HT1492 Start-up disk is full and can't go past the blue screen; can't delete read-only files on single-user mode. Please help.

I have had my Mac mini for about 6 years and I guess it had enough of me (haha), so the start-up disk got full and it shut down before I could empty files on my drive. Unfortunately, all these years I hadn't backed up anything and now I can't access anything since it won't boot past the apple logo (and the blue screen for that matter). I have tried rebooting (holding shift as the mac mini loads), but that didn't help since the start-up disk will still be full and stuck on the blue screen. I am now trying the single-user mode (holding command key+s), and I tried to delete files in the trash bin but all of the files are read-only and access is denied! so I basically can't delete anything on the mac mini (it says "Root device is mounted read-only"). So the key here is to change the permissions but I don't know how to exactly do that. Can someone help me figure this out? (and type the command in the unix language please!!) [ Note: We have two users on this mac mini if that helps.]

Run the following command:
mount -uw /
This isn't a permissions issue.

IIwas viewing a photo book in slideshow mode and it froze so all I can see is the cover page of the book. I let the battery die down but when I powred up...there it is again the first page. F3 allows me to see pictures of a few other screens

i photo, I was viewing a book in slideshow mode and it froze on the cover page. I let the computer battery die out but when I powered up again the screen is frozen on the 1st page of the book. if I F3 it allows me to see a few other screens but if I click on them I am back to the frozen cover page again.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Can I type audience responses while in slideshow mode?

I'm using Keynote '08 and I've got a slide that has a heading that asks a question. I'd like to be able to add audience responses while in Slideshow mode. Is that possible?

You don't. ARe you saying you lost your ipad and you want to back it up? If so, then no.
If you still have your ipad, then backup it up to itunes or icloud.

How can i delete images from iPhoto?

I can not delete images from iphoto. When I try to move pictures to the trash they do not move, and if I try to delete them by pressing "right click> Trash" they do not move! pretty much the only way I can delete pictures from iphoto is to delete the library.
Can anyone help me? I'm about to permanently delete iphoto from my macbook pro.
it is nerve-wracking!

Where are you trying to move these photos from? The following are the key combinations for moving from different entities in the library:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from the Event or Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
If none of the above work try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem persists in the new library make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
1T Hard Drive in reg slot
16 GB Ram
Mavericks 10.9.4
iphoto 9.5.1
I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import. As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD. Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited. How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me. Thank you.

All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events. It is a start but not complete.
Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit. i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos. And empty the trash always before merging projects.
You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists. I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

How can I delete all double verisons of my pix in iPhoto ?

all my pix in the iPhoto albums are stored double or even more times. Why does iPhoto not recognize this and how can I delete these hundreds of pix without clicking each one separately? Thanx.

Which copy of them did you delete? Those in the Data folder or the Originals folder? If it was the Data folder then you still have the full sized originals. If it was the Orignals folder then you're delete the full sized version of them and unless you have a backup you've lost them. You can try using a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to recover the deleted files. It will let you run it in demo mode to see what files it can recover before you have to purchase it. Unfortunately it's no inexpensive.:(
If it were just the file in the Data folder you can try to recover the library as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
This creates a new library leaving the original one untouched in case the rebuilt version is not what you want.
If that doesn't work try the following;
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
