I can't delete shared photostream folder

I have several shared photostream folders and have used this feature a lot.  However, one of my folders appears to have a glitch.  I cannot delete from either my computer or iPhone.  I am not sure what caused it.  I am listed as the photostream folder owner, I can change the name of the photostream, and can even add and remove photos from it.  I just CAN'T DELETE IT!!  Help.

I forgot to mention I also tried to rename the iTunes folder, which worked, but then it created a new iTunes folder and my son's music came up again.

  • How can I delete the Photostream folder in iOS?

    So yeah hi everyone!
    I guess the title says it. I'd like to delete the Photostream folder in iOS from my “Photos” App?
    I've already tried:
    to reset Photostream on icloud.com.
    turn off Photostream on my iOS Device.

    It didn't work work.

    This is the correct solution...
    1. Sign into iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)
    2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
    3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
    4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.
    No waiting for 30 days now!well   its gone but when i turn it on again they are bk  so  i think u have to w8 30 days

  • I have Windows7.  HOw can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photostream

    I use Windows7.  How can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photosteam photos using ICloud?

    How are you doing the downloading?
    If you download raw files with iPhoto, iPhoto can only edit the JPEG preview that is embedded with each raw file. iPhoto is not a true raw editor, because it's a consumer-level product, not professional-level.
    The files should remain in RAW format if you download any of these ways, by using:
    Apple Image Capture (in your Utilities folder)
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (comes with your camera, but since the 40D is so old, go to the Canon site and upgrade your copy to the latest version for compatibility with the latest Mac OS X)
    Apple Aperture
    Adobe Lightroom
    Any other professional raw organizer/editor like Capture One

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

  • HT2905 Can I delete albums in folder on hard drive

    I am trying to clean up harddrive space on my laptop, all my albums are in a MP3 folder and Itunes folder. Can I delete the MP3 folder?

    To be on the safe side use File > Library > Consolidate Files, you would then be certain that iTunes is only using the copies inside the iTunes Media folder and that any others were safe to delete.
    It's always a good idea to have a backup, particularly before undertaking any major organizational activity in case something goes wrong.

    I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?

  • How can I delete my contacts folder in icloud?

    How can I delete my contacts folder in icloud so I can start over again?

    Got the answer from some other posts - thanks.  But now that I have resynced, and if I am backing up to my Mac not the icloud how am I keeping the contacts in icloud current with my Mac and iPhone and Ipad?  As soon as I turn contacts to sync on my phone it is turned off in iTunes.  Still on Snow Leopard and I think that might be part of the syncing problem

  • I accidentally deleted a Photostream folder on my mac, but it still appears on my iPad. Is there anyway I can restore in on my mac?

    I have a Photostream folder of my son, that has 3 other members, where I share photos with my family. Recently I have not been able to add any pictures to it and whilst trying to sort the problem I accidentally deleted it from iPhoto on my mac. It still appears on my iPad and I can add new pictures but they don'y show up in any of the the 3 other members photo stream. So does anyone know how I can a, restore the folder to iPhoto on my Mac and b, add pictures so that they appear in all members photosteams?
    Thanks
    Mark

    OS X and Windows only.
    Ignore it as nothing was installed on your iOS device.

  • Can I delete the "Public" folder?

    I'm wondering if I can delete the Public folder, or if I should refrain from doing so?
    I've tried to figure out what the purpose of the Public folder is, but I'm not sure if I've understood correctly..
    As far as I can see, it's there for other people to access the files within (which I don't find very comforting in the first place).
    Since I have no use for sharing files with people this way, I figure I have no use for this folder either.
    So, that's my reasoning for wanting to delete this folder.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Where the Public Folder comes in handy is if you want to share files between other users of your Mac. Normally, when you log on, you cannot access other user account's files...except for the Public Folder. If you are the only user, then even though you won't really take advantage of this feature, you really won't gain much from deleting it either.

  • Possible to set it so you can't delete a specific folder and contents...

    Hello.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows a way I can set a folder so that a user can't delete the folder (and thus, the contents by deleting that folder). But, at the same time, I want them to be able to manage the items within the folder (ie. can delete sub-folders, can add sub-folders, etc.).
    Basically, right now each computer in the studio has a "jobs" folder. This folder gets backed up (via the network via Retrospect) each night and users can add/delete jobs as they want. But, they can also accidentally delete this folder by having selected the main folder itself and hitting command-delete, or by moving it to the trash. I know it's not "likely", but it is possible and I'm hoping to prevent it.
    I thought I could lock the folder so you can't delete it, but this seemed to also make it so the user can't add files either.
    So, wondering if anyone has any suggestions (native or 3rd-party)?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    If I create a temporary directory owned by me and grant read/write/execute permission to me, my group and others, I can add and delete items inside it but I cannot remove the directory itself while working as another user. If I gave ownership of the directory to root, I would also be unable to remove it.
    While this is not secure - certainly admin users could delete the directory itself if they wanted to - it should prevent accidental removal of the sort you describe. Check it works on 10.5, though.

  • HT1923 I can't delete the Apple folder in Common Files

    My computer would not recognize my iPhone.  I tried the troubleshooting tips found online, uninstalling everything in order.  When verifying all files had been removed, I could not delete the Apple folder in Common Files as it says the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  When checking my programs I see iCloud remains (published by Apple).  Need that be uninstalled as well?  How important is it to delete the Apple folder which has an Internet Services folder in which are two other folders (filled with files), an application AppleOutloodDAVConfig64, and three application extensions?  I can no longer remember if my phone had remained connected to the computer throughout all of the process or not,

    Does it say something is in use in there?

  • Can I delete Original Media folder after its all been transcoded?

    So i remember reading that most footage you import should be transcoded. Though Final Cut Pro "works natively with formats like h.264 and dslr movs, it is better to have it optimized into Pro Res and transcoded." Having listened to that, I have Optimized all of my media that I have importated however now I have double the media in my FCP Events folders because I have both Original Media and Transcoded media. This leads me to a few questions...
    1) Can I delete the Original Media folder if all my my media is transcoded? How will this effect my timeline and projects? Will this free up space? How can I verify all of my clips have bene transcoded?
    2) Can I delete the Transcoded Media and go back to using the Original Media? Will this mess up my timeline and projects that I have started editing or will it revert the media in my projects back to the Original? Which would run faster/better performacne Original Or Transcoded? I shoot all of my footage on a Canon 7d DSLR 24/30 fps 1080p, H.264.
    3) What workflows have you used so that you dont dobule anything? If this project is a loss, what should I be doing in future events when importing? Should I send to Compressor and transcode there BEFORE I import into FCP. That way I am only importing the Transcoded stuff?
    Thoughts?
    Mike

    1- Yes, you can delete the Original Media folder, FCP will only read from your Optimized Media folder then.  But move it to the trash first, then launch FCP X and test it out, before emptying the trash.
    2- Yes, again, test it as I mentioned in 1 above.  Once you remove either Original or Optimized, it's gone, that's it.
    3- Always let FCP do the transcoding, doing it in Compressor gains you nothing.  You shold base your decision to optimize on the hardware you're using and the amount of storage space you have available.  H.264 is super compressed.  ProRes uncompresses it and is more of it's natural file size.

  • Can't delete shared printer in Print Center.

    I recently bought an AirPort Express after using the Snow White AirPort for over three years. I wanted a faster transfer rate. I connect my Epson Stylus C86 to my ethernet hub. The new AirPort connects to the hub as well. I have a DSL modem connected to the Ethernet hub also. My iMac has an AirPort Card, the slower one. I was able to print from a new PowerBook G4, a Dell Inspiron 8500, and my iMac G4 after connecting the printer. I shut down all computers and when I next tried to print I couldn't, nor could I figure what had happened so I connected my printer to my iMac G4 but my PowerBook G4 could not see the printer even though I had turned on print sharing on my iMac G4. I then connected the printer to my PowerBook G4 and my iMac saw the printer. It printed. I then turned off my printer and forgot to turn it back on before printing another document on my iMac. When I did, the documents showed up in the print list for the shared printer connected to the PB but of course didn't print. I turned the printer on again and eventually the documents printed off of the printer but did not go away in the list of documents on the iMac waiting to be printed by the shared printer. I could not delete them nor could I delete the shared printer from my list in the Print Center of my iMac. None of the icons are active in the Print Center for the Shared Printer. I looked in the Apple Support section and found an article about this that referred me to http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs. I went to this page and saw the two documents listed, I clicked Cancel but the page that this went to said "Error: client-error-forbidden."
    Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the two documents in the Print Center? Is there some document on either the PowerBook or the iMac that can be deleted?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried temporarily disabling printing sharing via the Sharing System Preference (letting others using your network know ahead of time), and then trying to delete it?

  • How can i delete shared gmail calendars on my Mac's calendar?

    Hello,
    My company's email, calendar, etc is set up with the Google Apps. I created a Gmail account in my Mac (Running Yosemite) so I could sync the Calendar.
    In the Gmail calendar, you can view calendars from teammates additional to your own to make life easier when setting up meetings, etc. Every time I add a teammate's calendar in Gmail, that new calendar is also synced in my Mac. Initially it was pretty cool, but what has happened now is that even though I delete the additional calendars in Gmail, these deletions are not replicated to my Mac, so I'm having to handle about 10 calendars and every time these other people receive invitations I have them on my Mac. The most I can do is "unselect" them in my Mac calendar but eventually somehow they get activated or "selected" again. Below a picture of what I see in my Mac.
    How can I delete these calendars on my Mac?
    Thanks in advanced for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple communities.
    I'm not all that sure that I fully understand your question. However if you are trying to delete the groups on the left-hand side of your address book, then simply click on them once to highlight them and use the delete key on your keyboard to delete them.
    Any contacts within those groups will stay in your main account and will not be deleted along with the group heading.
