I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?  I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them.  Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think?  If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event.  Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space.  Thanks.
iPhoto 11 v9.4.2
using Lion, updated, on iMac Pro.

It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
If space is an issue... use an external disk.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

    Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

  • Don't want to use Mail app any more; how do I delete all the downloaded mail?

    New Macbook Air here.  I never used the Mail app before and thought I might try it, but I seem to have accidentally downloaded like 30,000 old Gmail messages to my computer and now I just don't want to use Mail any more.  How do I delete all these messages from my computer and just get on with my life?  I don't need all this old mail taking up space.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Wouldn't it be useful to many users to be able to select and protect a few known cookes (e.g., for banking, subscriptions, etc.) then delete all the rest?

    Some cookies are necessary in order to manage material on banking sites, subscription sites, etc.
    It seems to me that enabling some way to scroll through the cookie list, marking those one wants to keep, would be useful -- then one could periodically blast all the other detrius away with the "Remove all cookies" function.
    Perhaps in a future release?

    Exceptions can work both ways. If you disable (block) all cookies then you can set an allow exceptions for cookies that you want to keep. If you keep cookies then you set set a block exception. You can see the permissions for the current server on Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] then you remove all stored cookies, also the ones that are an allow exception.

  • On ebay I can see the gallery picture but can't click on any other available picture. Firefox won't access them. I have to switch over to Int. Exp. to see the other pics How can I fix this problem?

    Also, if I do a Google search and a list of things comes up, in all the picture fields there won't be any pictures. There are other sites that this occurs on also, and on some places that ask me to type in a series of misshapen letters, I can't see those letters.

    As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How do ya delete all the text that is a web link?

    i am not only looking to disable hyperlinks, i want to remove all the links including the text of the links.
    like i want all the text that is a link to the web to delete. because i want to text to speech the thing and it has many links. ie this is a twitter thread, and i want all links out of my text, because it makes no sense for me to listen to them and kind of weird to listen to them. i only want the text, no links, no text of links. not only disable the link from being blue, but also deleting the information of the link. i do not want any links in my text, i do not want any text of web address in my document.
    i do not want to disable the links, instead i want all the web addresses out of the text.

  • HT1339 I inherited an 80g I-Pod classic (I have two 160g myself).  How do I erase all the information that the other person had on it and make it mine?

    I inherited an I-Pod classic (80g) and would like to get it back to the factory settings (as if it were new).  Is it possible to do so and how do I do it?  Do I need to have an  Apple store do it for me?  I also own two 160g I-Pods so I don't want to go into my computers and possibly mess up those libraries.  Any help will be appreciated.

  • How Can I delete all the tracks that are not in my Itunes Library?

    I am runnig out of disk space and i just want to have more space. My files are located everywhere on my mac and I saw that I have a lot of songs that are in my itunes music folder and the same are in an other folder. I want to keep everything that is in Itunes and delete the rest out of my mac!
    Thanks

    You can select some files in iTunes then right click consolidate.
    Then delete the original files not in the iTunes media folder.
    This way you don't have to do it all at once.
    Note that when you add files to iTunes, they are copied into the iTunes media folder so anything you added in the past is already in the iTunes media folder. Consolidating wont do anything to those. Likely all you need to do is delete the original.

  • How can I delete all the data in Mac pro and install the latest version of OSX Mavericks?

    Hi,
    I want to know why my mac become slow and so, I want to data and system and I want to install the latest version OS X Mcvericks. How can I do?
    Thanks

    Open the App Store app:
    And, choose Mavericks:
    Then download and run the installer. Tip: It would be a good idea to quit the installer before proceding with the install, so that you can copy it or move it to location outside of your Applications folder. That way the installer won't be deleted after you run it.
    If you don't have a backup of your current Lion partition, the only way that you can do a clean install is to erase that partition, thus losing all of your data.
