iPhone 6 won/t delete photos using iPhoto

They are on the phone. I import them as usual, and then select to delete them off the phone. Then iPhoto says "deleting" but then the photos never come off of the phone.

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

I cannot delete photos in iphoto

Suddenly I am unable to delete photos in iphoto with either the delete button, dragging to trash, or clicking on the trash icon. I am now ONLY able to delete by holding down option + command + delete buttons at the same time. I've combed these archives also and found a number of solutions to this problem:
Open disc utility and fix permissions
Go into safe mode, fix permissions, indices, etc. in disc utility
Go into safe mode, open iphoto, delete photo, empty trash. Close, reopen as usual, delete, empty trash.
Remove iphoto, remove pkg files, reload from system disc
NONE of these solutions has worked! Does anyone have any suggestions? I am running OSX 10.8.5.

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.

Can't delete photos using Image Capture

I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to 5s....all of a sudden I can't delete photos using Image Capture like I used to. The "delete" menu item is grayed out. The "delete after import" checkbox in the lower right is available, but I don't need to download all of these photos videos. I poked around in the iPhone settings but didn't see anything which seems to control this.

Hey guys, I had the same problem on iOS 8.0.2, I couldn't delete any pictures from my Mac neither in Image Capture nor in iPhoto. I've just figured out how to resolve this. You have to disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) under Settings > Photos & Camera. Since it seems to be an iOS 8 related issue, I'm not sure if I am referring to the same problem as in the original post but I thought I'll let you know anyway.

I delete photos from iPhoto but after backing up my computer they are back! How do I stop that?

I delete photos from iPhoto but when I back up my computer the library rebuilds them!

After I do a backup it rebuilds the iPhoto.
How do you back up and what is the "it" that rebuilds iphoto? Do you mean this process of arching/deleting? It may have damaged your Library.
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.

Going forward: another way of archiving:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Delete photo on iphoto

It's possible to delete pictures using iphoto on iphone 4s

The original question related to deleting photos in iPhoto. If you have an answer to that question post it in this thread. I would suggest starting a new thread for a new question. You are more likely to get help in a new thread that has a title line related to your question.

How do I delete photos in iPhoto

how do I delete photos in iPhoto?

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

If I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the application "Photos"

Hey guys! I was wondering if I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the new application "Photos".
I transfered all my photos to "Photos" the second it came out, so I'd find it strange if I still needed "iPhoto"
Thanks a lot!

No, they will not be deleted from Photos. The two libraries are totally independent of each other.
YEs, you can now delete the iPhoto Library, but if you want yo do this to gain disk space, you won't see much of a difference. Reason being that both Libraries merely point to the same image files on your disk via hard links.
For now, I would suggest moving the iPhoto Library to an external disk "just in case."

Delete photos in iPhoto and External HDD simultaneously?

Hello. I have 256SSD so its too little for me to save my large photo gallery on laptop. I use for it external HDD. So i have next problem: when i delete photos in iPhoto they are deleted from only application and it stays in EXT HDD, but I want iPhoto to do it simultaneously, when i delete in iPhoto it should delete in hdd too. In preferances there is no such feature. Couldnt find anything in google about this subject. If there's no built in feature what you suggest me to do to solve this problem? thanks

If a manged library iPhoto will delete the original file that was imported into it.
If a referenced library you will have to delete the "source" file after deleting the photos from the library.
We strongly recommend against a "referenced" library because of the problems it's liable to encounter.

I am creating an Apple book of photos using iPhoto and a panoramic image.

I am creating an Apple book of photos using iPhoto. I have a panoramic image that I have split into two 9.5X2.583 in pieces in PhotoShop. I want to paste them into facing pages. When I try to move the images to the book I get images much larger which won't fit on the page. I am using Mac OS X 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 (9.3.2).
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks for your help.

Why not just use the full panoramic photo in one of the "spread" layouts which span two pages.
It's look something like this depending on the image size and theme and layout used:

I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

If I delete photos from iPhoto on my ipad can I reimport them to my ipad from iTunes

If I want to delete photos from iPhoto, and I have transferred them to iTunes by exporting them. How do I delete them from the iTunes cache so I can export new photos from iPhoto?

Let me answer your question this way.... If you import photos from your iPad to your computer, and then delete them from the iPad, you will be able to transfer them back to the iPad by syncing them using iTunes, or by using a WiFi Photo Transfer app.
As long as the photos are moved to your computer for storage, you can safely delete them from the iPad.
