Images removed from Albums

Browsing through some old projects, I came accross one in which 12 out of 13 albums are mysteriously empty. The masters are still there in the project but they have been removed from the albums into which they were imported. Is this something that the 'Rebuild Library' function (Command+Option on relaunch) should fix?

Brian,
That's a good tip! That issue did actually cause me some confusion when I was doing a date search for the images to replace them in the albums. However I don't think it was the cause of the original problem. The grey figure in brackets in the projects panel showing the number of images in each album was zero. I've just tried looking at my rebuilt albums with a filter on the search criteria and yes, the images are no longer visible in the browser. However the figure in brackets remains the same.
Regards,
Andy.

  • Aperture 2 Frustration 27 "Remove From Album" disabled

    I created an album of selected images. I want to remove some of the images. I select a few and try Images > Remove From Album. The option is disabled. Why? It's not a Smart Album.

    I selected several images from the result of search criteria. Most of them are stacked images. I only want one of each stacked image in my album, which sounds like a reasonable thing to do, but all images are copied into the album.
    Then I tried removing the unwanted images from the album, but if they're stacked, the "Remove from Album" option is greyed-out.
    It doesn't seem to represent how one would do things with a real "album". I may have a "stack" of photographs, held together with a rubber band. I can easily slip a selected photograph out from the stack and stick it in the album - shouldn't that be how Aperture works?
    Also:
    When creating a book, you can set an option to "include stack picks only". For example, if you wanted to create two books, one of colour photos and one of black and white Versions of the same photos, this "include stack picks only" is not very helpful as you'd have to change the stack pick for each of the books, or choose to see all the photographs without the option to "include stack picks only".
    This all doesn't seem intuitive at all - am I missing something fundamental?
    Thank you.

  • Images removed from Aperture 2010

    1. On the hard drive upon which my vaults are stored, getting a directory called "Images removed from Aperture [name of vault]." Any ideas please as I've only just noticed these on a pretty organised system.
    2. My Aperture has always been slow, crashes several times a day even though it was bought new in Jan 2010 and is just back from the Genius bar and still doing the same. Any ideas?
    3. One of my largest libraries will no longer open. It was going through a repair and became stuck for a day so I closed it. Since then Aperture will no longer open via clicking on it in the Finder. It does have a vault (I'm guessing 95% up to date) associated with it, but I'm not sure if I should now go to the next step and open the Vault and restore from there (or however I do it).
    4. How best to organise my libraries, eg have one for every month (take huge number of images of my boys and client shoots) or have one per year with projects of months within. I have then albums for the events under those months. I don't (yet) use Folders as haven't found a use for that extra level or organisation, but should I?
    5. Is it ok to copy the contents of Show Package contents and use that to make an additional copy. I'd read that I could Show Package contents, then select all with "." a period, then select Kind.. Images and then just copy the contents to another directory. I'm thinking of this route given my unreliability of Aperture, original the trial then used the serial number to upgrade beyond trial.
    6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
    Lots of Qs, my first post
    thanks

    These contains masters that were removed from the library between vault backup operations.

    By Aperture you mean your computer system? Without more information it would be difficult to answer this. What did Apple say when you brought it in?
    If you got Aperture in Jan 2010 you started with version 2 correct? What version are you running now?

    Large libraries can take over a day to do repairs or updates. It's tough to wait but most times that's the best course of action. Have you tried to repair it again? If you can;t open it or repair it and you have a vault for it you might as well restore it. That's what the vault is for. If you decide to restore and have questions post back.

    This is a huge topic and best addressed in a separate post. There are plenty of resources covering this topic both in this discussion group, in the Aperture users manual and on the web. Familiarize yourself with them and than post back with specific questions.

    What your describing doesn't make sense from a systems standpoint. The most it would do, if it worked, is get out your image files and previews but in no way that Aperture could use unless you imported them. Even if it worked you would lose all your adjustments, keywords etc.
    It's never a good idea to go into the Aperture library at the package level. The smallest misstep can have bad outcomes. If you ever need to copy the library you just need to drag the .aplibrary file.
    6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
    As long as you have the serial number you can install from either.

    It would be best if in future posts you tried to focus on a single issue. Long posts usually don't get the kind of response you would like as they can be hard for the reader to get through. Be specific and you're more likely to get multiple responses. You may want to take a look at [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] to get some idea as to how these groups work.
    Good luck and welcome to the list.

  • Can I remove files from "images removed from" dir?

    I have some duplicate files on my iMac, including some large videos in a "images removed from xxxxxxx" directory. Can I safely delete these?

    Yes, you can delete this additional "images removed from ...." vault, if you do not need this backup of older videos. It contains all photos/videos, that have been backed up in your vault, and have been removed, because they are no longer in your Aperture library. remove this vault only, if you do not want to keep this videos or have other backups of them.
    See Frank Caggiano's answer here:  Re: Folder labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1"
    But I am puzzled: Why are these vaults on your iMac? Are they on your system drive or on a second internal drive? Vaults are best kept on a drive different from the drive where the library is kept. Otherwise they will be of no use, if the drive should fail and needs to be restored.

  • Images removed from Vault

    When I update the Vault a separate folder in the same location gets populated with various images under the folder name "Images removed from Vault". Is there a need to retain this folder? Otherwise it seems to be a waste of space.

    I wouldn't be surprised
    But I want to clarify a point. Isn't "Deleting from Library" = "Deleting from Vault"? My understanding is that if you delete a Master from the Library, when you update that Library's Vault, the Master in the Vault is moved out of the Vault and placed in the "Removed from Vault" folder. In other words, there really isn't an interim user's step "Delete from Vault" other than just "Update Vault". No?

  • Images Removed from Vault Folder

    So if I try to import any of those images in "Images Removed from Vault" with the box checked don't import duplicates, and I check each and every image and none show up in Import window then these must be duplicates and then safe to trash? Correct?

    Yes it is a normal but unreported feature. When you run the vault command the vault created is a snapshot of the current state of the library. If there is a previous vault for this library then images that are in the vault but no longer in the library are moved to the folder you referred to.
    If you are certain you do not want any of those images anymore you an delete them.

  • OK this is weird- like Gremlins weird- Images removed from vault

    On the drive where my main A3 library lives- NOT on the drive where my vault lives- I just found an "Images removed from vault" folder. It's 36.55GB and contains images that I did not delete from my library. It gets weirder: those images are not gone from my library! The images dates range from 2007-2011. I haven't found a common denominator yet.
    DLS

    I had been having a great deal of trouble with my vault drive: sometimes it wouldn't mount, and updating the vault would hang when it did mount. The third cable I was tried finally gave me a stable mount, but it kept hanging at the same place updating the vault.
    I ran repairs on both the the library and the vault drives and did all the trouble shooting on the library. Same thing. Finally, I wiped the vault drive and started over. The new vault was created without issue. (This is a 450GB vault on a 500GB drive- I know, I know)
    I noticed the "gremlin" folder today after I copied over an old 1.56 library- that was unrelated to the images in question- to pull up some old client work. I don't remember seeing it there before, but it was dated the day before I resolved the vault issues.
    @Nathan: It was at the same level as the library, and they were equivalent to masters: CRWs, CR2s and PSDs.

  • Folder labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1"

    Hi all,
    I was just looking at everything that's on the External Hard Drive on which I have my Aperture Vault.  There's another folder on that EHD labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1."  Noodling through that folder, it seems to be every master that I've deleted, broken down my year, month, and even day.
    Is this normal behavior?  Can I delete all those sub-folders, etc.?  Should I keep the folder itself?  Did I somehow set this up initally?
    Anyhoo, thank you all for any suggestions.

    Yes it is a normal but unreported feature. When you run the vault command the vault created is a snapshot of the current state of the library. If there is a previous vault for this library then images that are in the vault but no longer in the library are moved to the folder you referred to.

  • Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library

    Hi. I cannot trash photos from an album. Options are "remove from album" or "trash" but both only remove from album not the library. The only way to trash photos is to go to the library/photos and trash from there which is a bit annoying!

    If you click the arrow in the right lower corner of the photo in the album, you should see the Trash can. Is it not there?
    Or use the key combination option-command-delete  ⌥⌘⌫  .

  • I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4?  Any advice or tricks?

    I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4.  Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up?  Any tricks or advice?

    Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from.  As a test  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 it does  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.

  • Remove photos from album

    I just bought elements 12.  Need to remove photos from an album. Nothing comes up in HELP search & don't see menu option either.
    Googled .. says to right click ... I tried right clicking ... nothing happens!  What am I missing????

    Let me run through the process.
    You launched PSE12 Organizer
    Imported photos
    added them to albums
    Now you want to remove any photo from an Album
    For this,
    In Organizer, select the photo you want to remove from album, Right click( Control + Click on mac)  on it,
    Menu opens.
    Select "Remove from Album"
    Select the album from the Sub menu list of Albums.
    The photo would be removed from the selected album.
    Hope this works

  • Archiving selected images on hard drive and removing from i-photo

    My library is getting big.
    I would like to move selected image files from i-photo to a hard drive, and then delete the i-photo versions.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Yes, but what exactly do you want to do.
    For instance, you can simply export the pics from the Library (File -> Export) to a folder on the external, and then trash them from iPhoto (put them in the iPhoto trash, empty it). Result, images gone from your internal disk and iPhoto, folder of images on the external.
    Another way is as follows:
    Copy your iPhoto Library on the External (Go to your Pictures Folder and drag the iPhoto Library to the external.
    Now you have two full libraries.
    On the Internal, remove the unwanted pics. (as above)
    Now you have two libraries: a full intact one on the external, a smaller subset on the Internal.
    As you add pics to the internal, use iPhoto Library Manager to keep the full version on the external up-to-date.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager
    The advantage to the second option is that your pics are still safely managed by iPhoto.

  • How to remove image files from audio files

    i dont understand enough about how itunes worked...So my problem is, when i would add album art to a song, i would copy and past to the artwork box on the song. When i would find a better image, i would just past over the last one, not realizing that it was actually adding another image. This form of Copy/past(as i understand) saves the image to the audio file. *My question:* how do i remove the image files from the audio files...?

    Right click on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library CTRL & Click on each of the songs you want to highlight)
