Incorrect photos in iPhoto trash

Don’t know if this is the correct forum. I can’t find a specific forum for iPhoto 5.
iPhoto 5 is being used for a particular library for compatibility with another user who is limited to this version of iPhoto (PPC, G5, OS 10.5).
The problem is that the iPhoto trash contains numerous photos that should not be there. Most of the photos in the trash are actually duplicated in the main iPhoto Library and albums. Some of the photos in the trash are not in the Library but should be. I don’t know how this occurred. It was not done deliberately.
This iPhoto library is being used as a container for photos used in a Final Cut Express project. When I did empty the iPhoto trash, FCE complained that certain files were offline, probably those that were in the trash but not in the top level of the Library. Fortunately, I have a current backup, but I am still back to “Square One”.
How do I fix this problem of iPhoto trash containing incorrect photos so I can empty the trash without an adverse effect upon the FCE project using these photos?

Hi Larry, thanks for the response.

In all versions of iPhoto it is critical that no changes of any sort be made to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program except iPhoto.
          Yes, I'm aware of that.
Is there any chance that FCE was used to make any modifications to the iPhoto library?
         It is my belief that FCE does not interact with iPhoto. When dragging a photo from the iPhoto window to FCE, it simply creates a pointer to the location in the Finder where that photo resides. If something happens to that photo such as moving it or deleting it, FCE will complain with an "Offline" message. Possibly someone else could confirm that.
In the iPhoto library is the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library checked?
        Not sure. I'll have to boot into OS 10.6 to check since iPhoto 5 won't run in Mountain Lion. I'll report on that later, but I don't think that will be an issue. I have been using this iPhoto library for more than a year, working on a large project.
The general answer is to restore your backup, select the photos you want in FCE and export to a desktop folder for use by FCE (or any other program)

           This would be a monumental task, something I was trying to avoid. I have been using iPhoto libraries (and iMovie projects) as containers for FCE projects for more than a dozen videos and never had this problem before.
          There is something wrong with the iPhoto trash with this particular iPhoto library and I was hoping that someone might know what could have caused it and possibly suggested a fix.

I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are over 300 photos in my trash yet I can't find them and the trash looks empty?

After problems with iPhotos I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are still over 300 photos in the trash yet it looks empty and I can't find apparently still existing photos. How can I make the number go and tells me my trash is on zero?

First ry 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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
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.
If the above doesn't help continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
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 Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

3,000 plus photos in iphoto trash but won't delete

We have around 3,000 odd photos in iphoto trash, but when you click on the tab, it just shows a empty screen, but also shows as said 3,ooo photos, and right clicking on it and trying to empty it does nothing!?
question is are these photos in there or not? if so how do i get rid?
thank you
Marie

iPhoto_Pref_and_Cache 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.
If that brings the library back do not try deleting all of the photos at one time. iPhoto is notoriously finickey about deleting large numbers of photos at one time. Create a new empty album, Shift+Command+N, and drag the photos into it. Then in the album add a unique keyword to them.
After the keyword has been assigned select all of the photos in the trash bin and drag onto the iPhoto icon to return them back to their Events. Then go to the album and and select about 100 at a time and type Command+Option+Delete to move them to the trash bin and empty the bin.

Iphoto 9.6 shared photostream photos are in trash

I just updated to iPhoto 9.6 after installing Yosemite. When I clicked on the iCloud tab it asked me to activate iCloud photos. I said yes, and the shared albums I have on my phone and iPad show up as expected. The problem is that the photos themselves do not show up. I noticed there is a folder in my desktop trash (not the separate trash file in iPhoto) named iPhoto. In that folder is all the photos from the shared photo streams. I have no idea how they wound up there. The photos appear in the proper albums on my iOS devices. Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem, with a slightly different preceding step. After upgrading to Yosemite & installing iPhoto 9.6, I opened iPhoto and everything seemed to be as it should be. I then imported some photos. All was still ok. I tried to add some photos from that new import to an existing shared photo stream, and they wouldn't upload. No new photos appeared in the photostream. I then opened iPhoto preferences, and iCloud Shared Photostreams was turned off - note that it had always been on previously. I reenabled it, and after spinning for a very long time, my newly selected photos for uploading were added to the photostream, but ALL of the other photos from that photostream and every other shared photostream were moved to Trash - not iPhoto trash but directly to desktop trash. I was smart enough to pull them out of trash and set them aside so I don't lose them permanently, but this looks like a major defect in iPhoto 9.6. Shared photo streams are NOT preserved properly across the upgrade.
Note that the existing shared photostreams appear to never re-sync after this, so there appears to be 0 photos in them until new ones are added.

If you are using Apple's Mail app 6.5 is the latest version irrespective of what a previous poster says. It does sound though that you are using a gmail account online via a web browser. Please confirm and fill in missing information.

How do i view photos in iPhoto trash before i empty trash?

Click on the trash icon in the iPhoto Window

TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior? I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default. On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders. So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted. My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Not user error: moving to trash moves to start of import/event

I found another thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5523843&#5523843 describing the issue as well, and that user had it "suddenly start working". Well, that's because it's an inconsistent problem, but it DOES happen, very often.
The problem: when reviewing images (for example in 'first double click' mode, where one image at a time is displayed), hit command-delete to send image to trash. Image is sent to trash, but the first image in the current "set" (be it either an event if editing one event, or an entire import, if working on 'last import' set), is then loaded instead of the image following the one you've deleted/moved to trash.
This is incredibly frustrating!! And yes, I've seen it work "correctly" as well, but that's maybe 5% of the time and difficult to reproduce. It seems maybe the difference is that if you directly double-click on an image, and then move THAT one to the trash, it moves properly, but that if you do some other sequence (not sure what), it doesn't. I can't reliably reproduce it, but it absolutely happens and is super frustrating.
Apple engineers, please dig a bit. Is there a case where it wraps to the first image in the 'working set' after move-to-trash because it's lost order state or something? Please fix!

One more bit of info to help track down the bug: it seems to happen especially in edit mode. You know, with the thumbnail strip along the top? It pretty much ALWAYS happens in that navigation mode.

Deleting photos from iphoto trash can

I can not delete photos from iphoto trash can, I get a notice that they are locked.
these photos were deleted along time ago from the hard drive.
I was surprised to see them, where are they ? so I can delete them,I can't do it from the trash can.

Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then try emptying the trash bin again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
ize. If it does

Deleting photos from iPhoto trash crashes iPhoto

I've been a bit remiss in deleting photos from iPhoto trash and now when I attempt to delete the 6379 photos in there it crashes iPhoto. I have tried the right click on the trash in the left menu bar and also the "iPhoto" > Empty Trash. How can I get rid of these photos?

This will happen if you try and delete that many shots from iphoto at one go. We generally recommend that you empty the trash in batches of 100 or so at a time.

2 photos indicated in trash not there

I have 2 photos indicated in trash inside icon parenthesis (i.e. (2) ) but there are no photos in my trash. I have emptied iPhoto trash.
How do I delete the (2) indicated?
Thanks.

Yes but I don't think that would be relevant in this case.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
Regards
TD
