Import created 200K "empty" projects how do I delete?

I used the export/import library process to move photos from one PC to another - used a portable disc drive for the transfer. In addition to pulling in the photos that I wanted it proceeded to add projects for everything on the drive which created 200K projects with no data. This is tying up memory when I try to delete projects of any significant number. It took half-hour to delete 70 projects. What is a better process to eliminate these empty projects? Thanks! 

Delete the whole Library and re-do the import?  Sounds as though you managed to specify the whole drive instead of the Library.

  • My pix are hidden behind an empty Album label I created in error. How do I delete the empty 'Album' label which is covering "Camera Roll" so I can access my pix?

    My pix on my iPhone are hidden behind an empty 'Album' label I created in error. This label is covering 'Camera Roll' and preventing me from accessing my pix. How do I delete the 'Album' label (or maybe better, use it correctly?) so I can access my pix?  Thanks!

    Try this instead:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. Select the backup volume from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
    4. Click on the Erase button.
    You will need to reconfigure Time Machine preferences for the backup.
    FYI: Never remove Time Machine backup data except through the Time Machine application. If you aren't sure about using Time Machine then visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things related to Time Machine.

  • Just lost a file containing important photos for a project. how do it get back?

    You are in the wrong forum if you are making a brochure, and you are not saying what version of Photoshop Elements that you are using.
    You can repost your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and then move it from here to there.
    While we are waiting for those decisions, here is something you to think about
    1. Assuming Photoshop Elements 11 Windows.....
    You should be able to click your sized down photo on screen to get a bounding box around it for additional resizing. And, if you click on the Layer for this photo in the Layers Palette, you should be able to see the photo's bounding box on screen.
    Either one of those happening?
    With the Move Tool selected, look to the bottom of the workspace where the Move Tool options are shown. Do you have a check mark next to "Auto Select Layer"? Check what is happening with and without the check mark there. Remember Move Tool is selected in this example.
    Best wishes

  • 2 Photo Stream Folders on iPhone - Why do I have 2 photo stream folders on my iPhone? One is accurate and the other is empty. How do I delete the empty one? The empty folder doesn't allow my photos to be synced with my ipad2.

    I tried disabling the iCloud on my iPhone and ipad2 and re-enabling in hopes elimnating the extra empty folder on my iphone.  Despite disabling the iCloud on my iPhone, the empty Photo Stream folder remained on my iPhone and the other Photo Stream folder with my pictures was removed.  I think because of this empty folder, my iPad isn't being prayed with my photos. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

  • System crash has created an empty clip that cannot be deleted

    During a 'Share' my system froze and I had to crash it (there were other processes running). The issue remaining for FCPX is that I now have a clip with the yellow triangle, and the date reads 'No Data'. Selecting this clip gives the 'missing clip' red screen. However, I cannot move this to the trash or relink it, and this means I cannot remove the yellow triangle in the Event.
    Anybody know how I remove this?
    All software is up to date.

    When I select the clip and alt-click, the option to relink is greyed-out. If I select 'move to trash', nothing happens.

  • How do I programmatically create and save an empty project?

    I can programmatically create an empty project, but when I drop an
    invoke node on the project, select "Save", and wire in the desired
    path, it results in an "Error 1".  I am getting the error on the "Save"
    invoke node (An input parameter is invalid.)  The only input is the
    path, which is correct.  What am I doing wrong?  Also, how can I
    specify a name for the project?
    Greg

    I think the problem is that you use the current path and strip off the path the current VI's name.  This leaves you with a path that has no filename to save it to.  Put in a build path after it where you build in a project name with a .lvproj extension.  When I did that, the error went away.

  • Trying for Days Just to Create a Project - How?

    I've been reading the help files and experimenting for days and simply cannot get through the very first step of creating a project in iMove.  When I click the "New" button and I then click "Movie" it comes to Themes.
    So I pick the "Modern" theme.  When I click on create it keeps bringing  up this screen that is impossible to fill out with two entries:
    Name
    Event
    I can fill in a name but it keeps showing "Events" (whatever they are...no explanation) that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie I'm trying to create.  Is there some way to get rid of this "Event" option?   There is nothing in there with any of the photos or videos I want to use in my movie.  Where is it coming from?  What does it mean?
    I cannot find an explanation of what an "Event" is.  I just want to create a darn movie project with my clips.    Who cares about events?
    Thank you.

    Yes, I am reading the manual.  I'm looking right here:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/#/move6ccb3330
    However, when I click "New" up at the top and try to create my very first project it asks for a "Name" which I enter, then it asks for an "Event" which it thinks already exists somewhere but this "Event" does not exist so I can't even create the most basic shell to start a movie project.  Where are the "Events"?
    I would like to be able to add some movie clips and photos to a very short movie.   I tried dragging some movie clips from the Finder to  anywhere on the left hand side but nothing can be dropped there.  Every attempt is rejected.   Are movie clips "Events"?  
    How can I even get started if I can't do something as simple as creating an empty project to begin adding movie clips to it?
    Yes, I've been reading the manual for days now.  Tried googling, too.  No explanation of how to get rid of this "Event" request that does not exist.

  • HT204053 How do I delete an old apple ID on my I phone and replace with my new one. The old one keeps giving me updates that I can't access and want it deleted

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • How do I delete a cloud account

    Please can you tell me how I delete a cloud account, I aready have an account and when logging in I forgot my password so went through the process again and created another account. How do I delete this please,

    You would have to delete your current iCloud account from your phone "Settings > iCloud > Delete Account" in order to setup and use your old iCloud account for all the iCloud services again.
    Of course you could also add your old account only for Mail as a secondary account in "Settings > Maiil, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud" and continue using your new account for all other iCloud service, but I assume that you prefer option 1.

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I import a folder of images without creating a new project?

    In Aperture 2.xxx I can import a folder of photos into the project and mimic the folder structure on my hard drive. For example, I export photos as tiffs into a folder that is a subfolder of the folder that contains the master raw files on my hard drive. If I want these new tiff files to be part of the Aperture library I simply import the folder into a project.
    With Aperture 3 I can only import a folder as a new project as far as I can tell. Is there a workaround
    to import a folder of photos as simply a new folder of the project that contains the master files?
    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,
    I also think Aperture 2 has a better import facility and organisation Than Ap 3.
    Having tried pvonks suggestion I just cannot get that to provide the folder structure you require.
    File>Import Files seems to me to have an odd behaviour. The right hand import panel does not necessarily 'see' all the Projects but does remember ones imported into. If not used before it is necessary to highlight the Project you want to import into in the Library panel which then sets the import panel to match.
    By experiment it seems the function of a new Ap 3 folder is just to contain Projects. The easiest way to achieve what you desire is to use a new folder as a bin in which to group your Project structure as you did before with folders. The effect will be the same as you are used to, only the icons will be swapped around.
    Alternatively, after importing into an existing Project use a Smart Album to collect the files by import session date and time. You can have as many Smart Albums as you need, each with a different filter setting as suits your purpose. The Import Session filter is found under the Add Rule section on the Smart Album control sheet. This way the Project is the bin and the Smart Albums represent the folder structure you want.

  • Unable to import .doc or PDF documents to create a new project

    When trying to import a WORD document into RH 6.0 to create a
    new project, I am only able to proceed up to the Improt Word
    Document Wizard dialog "Covnersion Options". Clicking Next leads
    the program to start the import, however after a few seconds I get
    a message telling me that MS Word seems to not be responding.
    I alsow am unable to import PDF files. Here RH claims that
    the file type is is not supported or that the file is corrupted.
    I would really appreciate if somebody could explain to me
    what the problem is and how to troubleshoot it.
    Thanks!

    Hi prikol and welcome to the RH community. Can you let us
    have some more information please. What version of Word do you
    have? Has Word been installed after RH? Is this only happening on
    one project? Has it worked on other projects? Sorry for all the
    questions but if you can let us know the answers we can start to
    narrow down to the problem.
