IPhoto 09 Deleting Question

i recently imported my phots into iphoto 09 that i got the with snow leopard last year. can i delete them from my pictures folder (i imported from) and it will be stored on iphoto

Make sure you've selected to have your photos copied to the iPhoto Library when importing. In iPhoto 10, you go to iPhoto Preferences/Advanced. It will be similar in iPhoto 9.
If your sure the photos were copied to you iPhoto Library, then theoretically it would be OK to delete them from your Pictures Folder. But keep in mind that unless you are having them backed up with Time Machine or another type of backup, you could lose your photos if the the iPhoto Library file were to become corrupted.

IPhoto Deletion Question

When you delete photos out of the iPhoto trash, are they gone forever? I deleted some photos by accident out of the trash in iPhoto, is there any way to get them back? Do they store in some kind of library?
Thanks in advance.

Danny: Alas, I think you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. Emptying the trash basically wipes it clean. That said, there may be someone (hopefully there will be) who might say that your HD still contains it unless it's been written over and that some magical software program might be able to retrieve it for you. I know there are support companies out there who claim to be able to retrieve certain files, etc. even after they are deleted.
But I think that iphotyo uses mac's trash bin, unlike iMovie HD which uses it's own trash and which, even deleted, still retains your project and which can be retrieved after doing some fancy contorsions. Good luck. wd

Iphoto deleted all my images, im running on 9.5.1

iphoto deleted all my images, im running on 9.5.1. its been having issues recently but this time my laptops battery died in the middle of iphotos fixing itself and when my computer restarted everything is gone. Please help?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto deleted my photos. I'm not sure how this happened, but how do I recover them?

iPhoto deleted photos I took that I do need. I'm not sure how this happened but they are now no longer anywhere on my Mac. How did I get them back?

With that amount of information to work with, the only possible suggestion is that you restore from your back up.

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Iphoto deleted my events

iPhoto deleted my events. How do I restore them? I have a time capsule.
Help me Obi Won, your my only hope.
Mr. Sharky

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Iphoto '10 question: disappearing photos

My iphoto '10 is not properly uploading/deleting pictues from my digital camera. I can't find the lost photos as files anywhere on my computer. Anyone know what to do?

First go to about iPhoto and report the ersion you have - there is no iPhoto '10
then lease describe yoru workflow and exactly what happened and is happening
Do the photo sshoe in last import?
and as a best practise never have iPhoto delete the photos from your camera - import them and after at least one sucdessful backup cycle use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card

Iphoto deletes my facebook albums

I'm having a serious issue with my iphoto program!
Whenever I use the tool in iphoto to 'share' an album from my iphoto to facebook, I click on share, facebook, new album... & automatically, a pop up appears saying that one of my facebook albums (a different one each time) has been removed from facebook & would I like to save the photos in an event on iphoto or just delete them!
This has lead to my having numerous of my facebook albums removed from my facebook. I never once manually deleted them or moved them, or did anything remotely similar; iphoto seems to be doing it all on its own & its extremely frustrating as when it removes my albums, i obviously loose all the data on facebook that goes with that album ie: comments, likes, etc...
PLEASE help!!!!

I thought this problem was solved, but it happened again to my wife tonight. It makes me 16 shades of purple MAD!!! WHY is iPhoto deleting Facebook albums?! EVER?!? If I go and add or change an album in my browser, the next time iPhoto wakes up, it should DOWNLOAD and KEEP my albums as i left them on FB. Obviously, FB is always the most current version I want.

Uploaded pictures to iphoto, deleted them from camera, iphoto quits, lost photos

I uploaded photos to my iphoto, and deleted the photos from the memory card. Right after I chose delete, my iphoto quit randomly and now all my photos say they did not upload. I am very frustrated.

Before you use the camera again you probably can recover the photos using a program like media recovery - http://freshcrop.com/
It is best to never have any program including iPhoto delete your photos but to import them and later (I like to wait for at least one backup cycle) use the camera's format command to reformat the card and delete the photos
Using a USB card reader is also a good idea

Iphoto deleted it's own library

today I tried to open my iphoto library and noticed that all the pictures in iphoto were from Aperature. I thought this a bit odd as I use iphoto only for pictures taken from my iphone and I never import my professional work into iphoto. Then I couldn't open Aperature and got this error message:
So I figured that somehow iphoto had randomly switched libraries and all I needed to do was go into the File > switch to library > and then select the iphoto library. but when I got there this is what I saw:
Now, I have two appereture libraries because one came from my old computer and a much older version of apereture. Neither one has any pitcures from my iphoto library. Upon further inestigation I have found that my iphoto library has completly deleted itself. I did not delete anything from my computer today or yesterday, and it was there yesterday, so somehow it deleted itself. Furthermore I cannot find the iphoto library on my external harddrives that I use to back up my computer. it is as if I never used iphoto. Does anyone have any guesses as to what happened? I have been doing some research on this and have seen numerous reports of iphoto deleting the contents of the library, and even the library itself, but no answers have yet been given to explain what happened in the first place or if it is possible to get those pictures back. Ideas?

How are you searching for your iPhoto library? You may have renamed it.
I'd search with Spotlight for files with the extension "photolibrary" or for files named "Library6.iPhoto" - each iPhoto library contains an item with that name. Make sure Spotlight is set in the system preferences to search everywhere.
If Spotlight finds an item like this, use "Show all in Finder" to find its location.

Deleted Questions Still display in Published Version

After deleting a Question slide and inserting a new Quesion
Slide, The deleted question still appears in the published version.
In addition, the new Question will only display after completing
the quiz and going back to review. It then displays as incomplete.
Before republishing the presentation with the new Question, I
deleted the old version of the presentation.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this!
Thanks!

Hi,
1.) How do I delete the B version of reports in Q? (Open system is not an option)
Use the T code RSZDELETE, Choose the object version as 'B', it will delete all the queries which are saved as backup.
Before that implement the correction program in the function module RSZ_X_COMPONENT_DELETE. The correction program is given in the SAp note 1097674
2.) What can I do to ensure the Actual Cutover will have B version deleted as well (A,B,M)
you can check in the same table RSRREPDIR with B as selection
3.) Why is there a B version report? Apart from due to BI7 query conversion, any other reason?
B version is a back up version. For example, you have created a query in 3.x features and changed in 7.0 query designer so generally this can't be opened in 3.x query designer. But if you wanted to do same, you can overwrite the current version of the query with back version so that it can be opened in 3.x query designer, you will loose all the changes done with 7.0 designer.

Iphoto deleted all my masters, any way to recover them? PLEASE HELP!!

Iphoto deleted all my masters and I cant seem to find them, is there any way to recover them? Iphoto 11 version. The only pictures that are left are some previews and some thumbnails.

Try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If that fails continue with:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

IPhoto deletes city/state/country geotags! Any way to recover?

Hi,
It seems like iPhoto deletes some geotagging-specific EXIF tags when creating a "modified" version of a picture! (Steps to reproduce appear below.)
Is there any way to go through and restore the "original version's" geography-related EXIF tags to the "modified version" for all photos in my library? (For example, does Automator have access to the EXIF tags?)
Thanks!
To reproduce the bug:
1. Take a photograph. Use a 3rd party program -- I use HoudahGeo -- to add geographic information to the photo's EXIF tags. Insert data into the City, Province, and Country fields.
2. In Finder, click on the photo and hit command-i. Note that the city, province, and country data appears in the "More Info" panel of the "Get Info" window.
3. Import the file into iPhoto.
4. Note that dragging the file out of iPhoto and then repeating step 2 yields the same result, as it should.
5. Enhance or otherwise edit the photo in iPhoto.
6. Note that if you repeat step 4 -- i.e. drag the file out of iPhoto and then hit command-i --, the city, province, and country data is missing.

Hi,
I'm not sure that I fully understand the difference between these two types of metadata.
If I open the original picture in Graphic Converter and view the EXIFTool readout, I see these tags repeated three times:
-Once under the "IPTC" heading
-Once under the "XMP-iptcExt" heading
-Once under the "XMP-photoshop" heading
If I open the "modified" version, the city, province, and state tags are missing from all three places.
(I'm assuming that since it's EXIFTool telling me this data that these are indeed EXIF tags, but hopefully, the above should clarify what I'm talking about.)

I merge a few folders on Iphoto and in the process iphoto deleted a lot of them. What can I do to get them back?

I Have a Mac BookPro and i was using Iphoto to download images from my camera over 700 images when the photos where done they were added to iphoto then I I merge a few folders together and in the process iphoto deleted over 300 hundred of my pictures and now I cant find them, Is there anything I could do?

NO idea
What version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS? How we're you meeting (I assume events - folders in iPhoto do not contain photos - the contain albums ro other folders) - what you you think iPhoto has deleted anything?
We can not see you or your computer - you have to provide details so we can try to help

Iphoto deleting photos

I have been having trouble with iPhoto deleting files from my photo library. I don't notice any rhyme or reason to this. Sometimes they are photos in photo stream, and other times they are ones that I had imported myself. Since iPhoto copies the file again to it's own database, I import them to iPhoto and then delete the file from where I originally uploaded them from. This has not been an issue on thousands of other photos, but randomly I get the following error message:
The volume for “IMG_2545.JPG” cannot be found.
Any help would be appreciated. I have to back all of my photos up and organize them by folders on an external hard drive so I can re-import them when this happens. I was really hoping that I could depend on Apple's program iPhoto to organize my photos but it doesn't seem trustworthy. Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this and what the solution if any is. Thanks in advance.

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (you have unchecked that preference)

IPhoto deleting photos from my Flickr Pro account

Sometimes iPhoto deletes my photos from my Flickr account. Is there any way to disable the delete permissions in iPhoto? Flickr people think it is a bug in Iphoto.

Does this happen after you delete the pics from iPhoto?
