In iPhoto '08, I've been hitting the delete button to delete my photos for years, but they're not in trash and they've never really been deleted. How can I easily group all of these photos and permanently delete them?

I've been mistakingly hitting delete to delete photos after importing them into iphoto. I thought they were all being deleted off of my computer, but not so. They're not in either the system or iphoto trash. I was able to find all "original" and "duplicate" photos in finder folders. Yes I could delete each photo one by one again, but we're talking sifting through 40GB of photos.
Thank you very much for your suggestions!!!

Whoa!

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.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

HT200028 The name shown on my Apple TV for my iTunes library is not what my computer is called under preferences sharing. How can I fix this?

The name on my computer under preferences > sharing isn't the same as what is being shown on my iTunes library on my Apple TV - does anyone have any suggestions on how to sort this as I'm at a loss!

The library name should be what is listed under the General tab of Preferences.

How can I easily transfer all my photos on a laptop?

How can I easily transfer all my photos on a laptop?

The quickest way is to connect the iPhone to your laptop using the USB cable and then launch one of the photo apps, either Photos for Mac, iPhoto, Aperture, or Image Capture. All of them will show an Import panel, when you launch them and allow you to download the photos to your Mac.

Hi there
I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
Good luck

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? TIA

Sorry marcia,
There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.

I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.

Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I hit the print button in Hotmail this big window opens but nothing prints??

At the top of this window in the search box it says "Search Bookmarks and history", but my printer dialog box will not open. I have been clearing the cache(Tools/Clear Recent History) but now even that didn't work. So what's up and how can I get this fixed?
Thank you for your help.

No. You cannot even downgrade an intentional upgrade to iOS7.

HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

The type of Raw File used in my Canon 7D MKll is not supported in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop 5S. How can I fix this?

The type of Raw File used in my Canon 7D MKll is not supported in Camera Raw, Adobe Bridge or Photoshop 5S. How do I fix this?

I gather you are using Photoshop CS5? The most recent Camera Raw version that CS5 will accept is ACR 6.7. Support for the Canon 7D Mark II was added in ACR 8.7.1. You will have to use the DNG converter to covert your CR2 files to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links for the DNG converter:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1

I am trying to gather all of my music into one place, but it is scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive, how can I put it all in one folder and then create one library off of it?

My first problem is that I need to get all of my music files in one folder, they are scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive and I am trying to get them all together. Afterwards I want to send this music to my microsd hard in my Samsung Galaxy s4, is there a way to proceed through this? Or at least one part of it?

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.
