iPhoto '08: If I delete a photo in the photo library it also deletes it from the album it's in. Why? How do I stop that?

1. Forget your goal. There is no way to have a Photo in iPhoto that's not in the Library. Can't be done. Impossible.
2. Events are the Library. They are a view of the photos in the Library based on date taken, that's all. Every photo in iPhoto is in the Library, and as Events are also a view of the Library, every photo is in an Event. So, you can't "take a library photo and put it in an Event". It's already in an Event.
3. I'm guessing that what you are calling the Library is the Photos view? That's the Library viewed not broken up by dates. But Photos and Events are two views of the same thing - two doors into the same room, as it were.

If I delete photos on my iPad will I also delete them from my mac book pro

If I delete photos on my iPad will that also delete them from my mac book pro. I want to create more storage on my iPad but don't want to loose the pictures permanently. They are also on my laptop. They are all in iPhoto plus they are in photos on my iPad

It depends on where you delete them from, where they are showing on your Mac, and what settings you have set up in iPhoto.
If you want to keep your photos, you should be importing them to your Mac or Computer:
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
If you delete photos from your device that are only showing in Photo Stream on your Mac, and you do not have Photo Stream set up to automatically import those photos to iPhoto, they will be deleted.
You can set up Photo Stream photos to automatically import by opening iPhoto and clicking on Preferences>Photo Stream, and turning Automatic Import on. This will import your Photo Stream photos. However, if you also have photos saved on your device that are not in the Photo Stream, then the only way you can ensure that they are saved in iPhoto is by importing them.

I have an iPhone 5 and I want to know if I delete all the photos on this device will it also delete them on my iPad, MacBook Air and my desktop?

I have an iPhone 5 and I want to know if I delete all the photos on this device will it also delete them on my iPad, MacBook Air and my desktop?

No, I accidently erased my pic's and my Music from my iPhone 5 when I hooked it up to my New iMac Air when I sync it. I thought when you sync it saves all your Data from my iPhone,,,,Wrong! It did the opposite, and saved what was on my iMac Air to my iPhone, which was Nothing, since it was Brand new. It won't delete the pic's from my iPad. Lucky for me, I downloaded them all back to my iPhone from iCloud.

HT204022 If I reset photo stream will the photos in my camera roll be deleted as well or will they stay in the camera roll and just be removed from the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you reset photo stream from the iCloud.com website, the photos will remain on your various devices, unless you also disable photo stream synchronisation and then turn it back on again.

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email list when I start typing again?

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased from I tunes.

Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased from I tunes.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

Hope this helps.

I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?ipa

I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?

Thanks for the info. - I now know that deletion works both ways!! - (unlike POP where emails deleted from the ipad also deleted them from the mac even before I could read them, whereas emails deleted from the mac were not removed from the ipad!!! - ie. the ipad was the master over the mac - the slave). Prior to changing to imap I used to transfer all nongarbage emails from inbox to mailboxes before my husband could ask if he could delete emails on his ipad. I have noticed however if you do this in imap, they are removed from the inbox on the ipad as well (this did not happen with POP). So we still have to check but the number is less so we like imap better than POP.
Thank again

I moved all my photos to my external drive. I then deleted my iphoto library and re-imported them from the external. Once iphoto created it's folder structure on my external, I deleted mine. Now my computer just "beach balls" all day when I turn it on.

i have a 2006 iMac with a 160 HD and 1GB of ram. I recently got a 2TB external hard drive and transfered all my pictures to that. Once I had a solid folder structure for my photos, I dragged them all to iPhoto. Once iPhoto had created its own folder structure of my photos, I deleted my own folder structure, so that I wouldn't have multiple copies. It all sounded like a great plan, but now my computer just "beach balls" every time I turn it on.

What does this have to do with iPhoto? If you're computer isn't starting up properly I'd be posting on the OS forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

If I delete a photo on my iPhone will it also delete from the photo stream on my mac in iPhoto?

I have run out of memory on my iPhone. I want to delete some photos on my iPhone but I want to make sure they will stay on my Macbook in photo stream.

If you have your iPhoto library set to automatically import Photo Stream photos
they will not be removed from the library (but will from the Photo Stream) when deleted from the iPhone). If you don't have the Autokmatic Import checked the select the Photo Stream photos in your LIbrary and drag them onto the Events icon in the left hand pane to import them. Then you can delete from your iPhone.

If I delete photo backup to icloud - does that also delete them in photo stream?

As many others, my 5GB of icloud storage doesn't allow me to do icloud backup if I include photos, so I'm about uncheck photos from backup.
I'm just a little anxious that this would also delete photos from photostream..
Can anyone say for sure that this is not gonna happen???

Turning off photos from icloud backups has no effect on photo stream.
BTW, regarding backups - always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

After photos are downloaded to MacBook from mini iPad, if they are removed form the camera will they also be removed from Photos also?

After photos are downloaded from iPad Camera, if they are deleted from the camera, will they be automatically deleted from the iPad Photos?

Yes, both Photos and Camera use the same data in Camera Roll.

HT1386 I don't want to lose all of the music on my iPod when I sync with my Mac (work done on my Mac lead to the itunes library playlists being deleted. I have re-created them, but some of the music on my iPod isn't in my music library. How can I keep bot

Hello. I hope someone can help. I have an iPod Touch 8G that I am trying to keep the music playlists from, adding them to what is on my Mac. I had work done on my Mac, and as a result, the original playlists in iTunes were deleted. I have recreated them using the Music Library, a long arduous process of thousands of songs! I would really like to have both, so I could manually combine playlists. How do I do this, not losing either set of playlists?
I enabled Home Sharing and iCloud.
Many thanks!
Linda

You have your settings on your I Pod associated with a different account or the wrong account on your PC

When I delete an email in Mail, shouldn't it also delete it from the PoP and/or Web accounts also?

More specifically, when I delete an email message in "Mail", it still appears in the POP (in this case Verizon) and/or the Web (MSN) accounts that I have. I then must redundantly delete the message again by going into each of those accounts. And this is vice versa. If I delete it from my Verison email, the message still appears in Apples "Mail" app. Why can't I get the deletes to sync?

Nope, Verizon only offer POP as far as I know so you need them to make the change, and good luck with that
Also please note that MS are having a few issues with their Imap service (it's brand new) you may find that deletes do not always replicate, but it is a known issue and MS are on it.
