IPhoto Events has restored every photo I have ever deleted. How can I get rid of them?

I have been away from my Mac for 3 weeks and I log into iPhoto today to find that every Event has restored all my previously deleted photos - this means tens of thousands of photos in total and would take weeks to go though and delete again. Is there some way of deleting them? Thanks!

  • ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
    Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

    How can I get rid of unwanted photos.  As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone.  When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

    The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos).  In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
    This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone.  To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
    All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections.  If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

  • Permanent vertical blue line the screen and a red one has just popped up too. What does it mean and how can I get rid of them?

    I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now.  It does not affect the use of the computer.  A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
    Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
    Thank you in advance

    Best guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

  • I have photos on my iPad that I can only see in slideshow. How can I get rid of them?

    I can't update my iPad because these photos are taking up a lot of space. I think we're accidentally synced in through iTunes but I can't see them in my photos on the iPad or even when I look at my photos from my iPad on the computer. They can only be seen in slideshow

    Hello there, Caroline.Mitchell.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for removing photos from your device:
    iTunes: Syncing photos

    Depending where the photos in question are located, the following steps should prove valuable:
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:

    Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
    Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
    Tap the Action button.
    Tap each photo to select it.
    Tap the Delete button.
    Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

  • Hi, my computers hard drive has gone faulty and I have lost everything, how can I get the music from my iPod touch back onto my new computer?

    Thanks to anyone that can help. Have lost everything on my computer and am having to start all over again. Windows by the way. Just want to know how I can get my music etc from my iPod back onto iTunes without losing it all. Have got rid of all the CDs as well! Many thanks, Ian M

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Yahoo has taken over as my default page. It overrides what I have specified. How can I get rid of it?

    I've used the option dialogue box and set the default webpage to my own but yahoo comes up instead. They must be desperate! This really stinks. How can I get rid of it?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After my last download I now have video adds that show up in the broswer from time to time. How can I get rid of them.

    on my last down load of firefox, I not have two issues that occur, One every once and awhile I get a video ad that shows up in the lower left corn of the browser. I have uninstalled your software and reinstalled and it is still there. Also I get a web site of inksr.com that my trend micro blocks everytime I go to a new web site within firefox. Both of these have started after I was told to redownload your software in order to get the updates to work and not be blocked.

    You probably have malware or adware installed on your computer.
    I note from your system information you have ''TopArcadeHits 1.0 '' <br /> That is something a lot of users complain about.
    Because some of this sort of software is sometimes installed intentionally it is often not detected by malware scans.
    Please be aware that this sort of adware is not provided by or downloaded with Mozilla Firefox software.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]

    * [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
    You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • I think I have a virus, how can I get rid of it?

    When ever I am on the internet and I try to go to different websites, this drop down usually appears and says "safari can not identify the server..." It is either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website which is spam. It has never done this before until this week. It happens when I go on facebook, or weheartit, or google. It even happened the hole time I am trying to use the apple website. Should I just take it in to the genius bar? Or is their something that I can do myself to stop it? For the spam addresses I have marked them as 'not safe' but it still continues to try and send me there.

    either asking about the website I am trying to go to, or trying to send me to a completely different website
    It's not a virus but there is a solution to the, "Safari cannot identify the server" issue. Your ISP may be re directing your browser.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and no more re directs.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK and restart your Mac.
    More about OpenDNS here.
