IPhoto preferences - delete images from camera after upload???

Is there a preference setting in iPhoto 6 to delete images from my camera's card after upload? Can't find it...

Hi, buzzworms. Yes, it's there — but don't use it.
Too many users of iPhoto have selected that option and then had an import go awry for some reason, only to discover afterward that even though the pictures weren't successfully imported, the card was erased and the pictures were gone.
Much better to leave that option deselected, so the contents of your card aren't changed by your Mac whether or not they've been imported successfully. It's free insurance against the loss of your pictures. Erasing the card in your camera only takes a moment after you've confirmed that the pictures are safely stored in iPhoto's library.

  • How do i delete images from camera after importing

    how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

    Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

  • Capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically.

    Hello Everyone,
    My requirement is to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically. No manual uploading will take place.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically automatically upload images to SharePoint library.
    You will save images in your local computer after capturing visitors’ image. You could develop a custom timer job to periodically get pictures from the local folder in your computer. Please refer to this article:
    Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
    http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/634208/Create-and-Deploy-Custom-Timer-Job-Definition-in-S
    you could upload pictures to your SharePoint from the folder with C# code, please refer to this article:

  • IPhoto won't delete photos from camera after importing. It used to....

    Hello...anybody have any thoughts on this issue? I always check the 'delete after importing' option when connecting camera and importing new photos. Recently, the photos have remained on the camera and I have to delete pictures from my camera manually instead of iPhoto doing this. It seems that after I upgraded to OS X 10.5 I noticed this issue. Needless to say if I forget to delete from the camera, iPhoto wants to import the old photos when I have new pics to import. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    We've seen occasional reports of this with 10.5. Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    That said, experienced users do not recommend letting iPhoto delete the pics from your card. If there has been a problem with the transfer you won't know about it until after the erase is complete. It's a couple of seconds work to reformat the card using your camera.

  • Deleting images from iPad after they were imported w/Camera Connector Kit

    so I loaded images on my iPad using the camera kit and subsequently copied those over to my Mac using Aperture. How do I now remove the images from the iPad itself? I see no way to delete the Last Import or All Imported albums. It's not practical to use the delete option in the Photo App as I would have to manually delete hundreds of pictures. Using Image Capture on the Mac does not seem to be a better option.
    Thanks in advance.

    I posted this on another thread, I hope it is of some help
    Firstly, I am assuming you have a copy of these images stored safely elsewhere ?
    What I am going to describe is not the most elegant way of deleting your images, it is a variation of deleting one at a time but much swifter.
    Open the photo app on the iPad, select the left hand photo button which should then display all the thumbnails of the images you have on your iPad, click the top right hand button with the arrow, on the left three buttons appear, one of which is delete. If you put your finger on the first image you want to delete the blue & white arrow is seen, without taking your finger from the screen run your finger over the other thumbnails and in succession the tick will be seen against the images, the delete button will show the number of images you have selected, when you are satisfied click the delete button.
    As I said not elegant !

  • Aperture is not deleting images from 'camera'

    I eject the CF card from my camera and put in a USB reader and plug it into the USB cable (from back of iMac to female). Aperture dutifully imports the images into my library then asks if I want to delete the files and eject. I click on that option and it asks again if I'm sure. I click on delete and eject.
    Then Aperture ejects the CF without deleting the files.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Any advise?

    Sometimes the FAT table becomes corrupt and the card needs a reformat. If you just delete files from the card, a hidden problem may jump out and bite you when you least want it.
    It's always preferable to reformat in-camera than to delete files using computer software.

  • Iphoto crashed, deleted pictures from camera

    Iphoto just deleted all of the pictures from my camera, without importing them. These are my honeymoon pics,any ideas on how to recover them?

    A data recovery program like media recover - http://freshcrop.com/
    And in the future never have iPhoto (or any computer program files- import them and test them (I wait for at least one backup cycle) and then use your camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it

  • Displaying the image from camera after processing

    Hi,
    Using NI vision assistant I captured the image from the camera in continous mode with inline processing. Then the image was proceesed (filter,threshold and particle analysis), then I created a bounding box and integrated that with the real time video. But, the image viewer is displaying the image in binary form rather than in RGB space.
    I can't find any mistake.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

  • Deleting images from camera

    When I've imported photos into iphoto, it asks if I would like to delete the images on the card. Is there an option for this on Aperture?

    There is, but you'll find that most of us strongly recommend against doing so. If something went wrong with the import, your images are erased before you had an opportunity to find out. Import your photos, make sure they all transferred properly, back them up, then erase your card using your camera.

  • IPhoto 6 - importing images from camera

    I'm trying to import photos from a Nikon D90, and iPhoto sees all 1139 images, but only imports 390. It says there's something wrong with the other photos. However, the Nikon D90 software (Nikon Transfer) can transfer all the photos. Is there some limit to the size of iPhoto (either amt that can be transferred each session, or total size of the library)? Do I need to update or rebuild the library?
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

    I'm trying to import photos from a Nikon D90, and iPhoto sees all 1139 images, but only imports 390. It says there's something wrong with the other photos.
    What is the error?
    Is there some limit to the size of iPhoto (either amt that can be transferred each session, or total size of the library)?
    No - the library can be 250,000 photos
    Do I need to update or rebuild the library?
    Possibly but you need to give more information on what is happening -
    Can you import the photos once you have used the Nikon software to download them
    Are there any large video's in the set you are trying to download?
    have you tried Image capture?
    have you used a USB card reader?
    have you mounted the camera to the desktop and downloaded the photos and then imported them?

  • HT4101 I discovered a fatal flaw in the iPad procedure for downloading images from camera to iPad: after selecting the images to be downloaded, an accidental touch of the "delete" button, wipes all selected images from the camera, with no warning?

    After downloading some 60 images from camera to iPad, I was "scrolling" down to select the last images, and inadvertently touched the "Delete" button that appears at the top right of the screen, when the "Select" option is chosen. I did not notice the warning "Delete 60 Images?", and continued scrolling down, when my finger touched the warning message. All my precious images were instantly deleted from the camera The sensitive touch screen feature makes this a real problem. Apple should "fix" this unacceptable feature, surely! I suggest that the images on the camera memory card should not be able to be deleted from the iPad, and this shpuld require to be done using the camera controls only. Similarly, the "Delete" or "Keep" options that appear after importing a selection from the camera, should NOT allow the images on rthe camera to be deleted, but only the imported (downloaded) images on the iPad. This unnecessary option could easily delete precious images from the camera!
    Apple should remove the option to delete images from the camera, and the iPad touch screen commands should olny delete images on the iPad. (Alternatively, the "delete option should be on a separatly accessed "page".)
    Surely enough users of the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" will agree with the above?

    No, I don't agree. Whenever you connect a camera to a computer you are given the opportunity to delete the photos on the camera after downloading in precisely the same way the iPad does this. The fact that you touched Delete and then ignored the Warning doesn't change anything.
    I've loaded thousands of photos on my IPad and never have had that problem.
    Don't blame a moment of carelessness on your device.

  • Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

    when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

    It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
    But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

  • How can i delete images from iPhoto?

    I can not delete images from iphoto. When I try to move pictures to the trash they do not move, and if I try to delete them by pressing "right click> Trash" they do not move! pretty much the only way I can delete pictures from iphoto is to delete the library.
    Can anyone help me? I'm about to permanently delete iphoto from my macbook pro.
    it is nerve-wracking!

    Where are you trying to move these photos from?  The following are the key combinations for moving from different entities in the library:
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
    1 - from the Event or 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.
    If none of the above work try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem persists in the new library make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
