Keeping photos from being deleted from folders

I am wondering if there is a way to keep photos from being deleted from a folder if they're deleted from the library, like some kind of safeguard. Here is my dilema: I import, say, 50 photos from shooting a band. I choose 5 of those 50 to add to my 'portfolio' album, and no longer need all 50 photos in my library, as they take up much space. So, I select all 50 photos as a group in the library and delete them, but lose the 5 that I put in the 'portfolio' folder. Is there any better way to clean up my library, and not lose the portfolio pictures, short of going one by one and deleting only the ones from the library that I know I don't want to keep? Any imput is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Hi chado404,
The albums only point to the photos within them, meaning if you delete from the library you are also deleting any of those photos from the album also.
If you take these 50 photos in a photo shoot, do your deleting first then put the remainder in an album. To help you, you can give the photos you want to keep a star rating. When you are done, select all as a group, then command click on the photos with the star rating to de-select just those, then delete the rest.

  • App or podcast downloaded to iphone is deleted from iphone and transferred to iTunes 11.  How can I keep the file from being deleted from the iPhone?

    I recently updated iTunes from version 10.x to 11.  In version 10, I could download a podcast or an app to my iPhone from the app store, then the app or podcast would co COPIED to iTunes during a sync.  Now with version 11, when I sync, the app or podcast is deleted from my iPhone and MOVED to iTunes.  How can I get back the old feature of making a copy?  This is a very dumb thing that happens in iTunes and I can not believe that I am the only one to complain abou this.  Please help me.  What do I need to change in iTunes to keep my copy on the iPhone.
    Thanks to all you geniouses out there!

    Not 100% sure of your question.  If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

  • How can I keep my emails from being deleted from the Telus server so I can view them on my home computer as well?

    How can I set my IPad email account to leave the messages on the server?  I want them left on the Telus server until I choose to delete them.

    I have POP mail accounts on my iPad.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar leads me to the correct place.
    At the top will be a list of my Mail accounts.
    Tapping on an Account brings up all the info in the account.
    The Advanced choice is at the bottom of the window and usually requires scrolling down to see it.
    Tapping Advanced brings up another widow with the Delete from Server choice. Tap that and you can then tap Never.
    I'm using an iPad 2 and an iphone5 running iOS 6.0.1

  • Keeping songs in playlists & deleting from library

    I would like to be able to add my songs to playlists and clear them from the library but when I try I delete the whole song from the library and the playlist. I only want the song in one place on my ipod not in every list!

    To prevent songs from being deleted from your iPod you just need to select the option "Manually manage songs and playlists," which is a iPod preference setting. You can access it through iTunes>Preferences>iPod. Your iPod must be connected to access these settings.
    Concerning disk space for your growing iTunes collection, I recommend getting an external hard drive, and keep only the song files you will likely need on your PC. This is what people with laptops typically do. You should do this anyway as a backup measure. If you lose the files on you PC's drive, for whatever reason, you can always replace them. It would be a shame to lose all those songs that you paid for, not to mention the time and effort expended ripping CDs. Think about it.

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

  • Issue with emails being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders

    Hi, I am experiencing an issue where emails are being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders when the weekly Sunday night purge of the Yahoo Trash folder is carried out by Yahoo. These are mails that have been moved from my inbox via the iphone mail app.
    I have a similar problem with Outlook 2010 on my laptop but not with Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
    When I move the emails from my inbox I have noticed that using Outlook 2003, the moved email is left in my inbox in "strikethrough" mode whereas on Outlook 2010 it is deleted from my inbox. I subsequently purge the marked email from my inbox in 2003.
    I am able to see and access the emails in the folder I have moved them to until after midnight on Sunday when they dissappear. The emails moved via 2003 are ok and not lost.
    Funnily enough when using an earlier version of the iphone mail app I remember that I could see emails in "strikethrough" mode in Outlook 2003 when they had been moved via the iPhone mail app but you don't see that now.
    It feels like some sort of pointer issue to me ...... any ideas on how to stop this happening?.

    This is now fixed !!!! I am not sure how though :-((
    I reported the problem to Yahoo and in the process of them investigating the issue my sub-folders suddenly became invisible via my IMAP connection and then also were invisible on-line following a log out and a log in. After my initial panic, I contacted Yahoo who were able to restore my complete account. Since then, the problem has gone away.
    I have been testing this for two weeks and all is working perfectly from whatever device I use to connect to my mail (IMAP or via my browser).
    Phew!

  • Can I restore deleted history or keep history from being deleted?

    My question pretty much summed it up. I would like to restore deleted history or at least see what was deleted, or keep history from being deleted altogether.

    I do not like that firefox keeps harassing me to update it all the time. I Do not like that it has a private browsing feature and I want to know how to permanently get rid of this feature and never be bothered again by an update.

  • How can you prevent encrypted folders that you created in disc utility from being deleted?

    How can you prevent encrypted folders that you created in disc utility from being deleted?

    You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
    You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
    The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
    <http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
    about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
    The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
    The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
    I set it in Terminal, thus
    $ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
    and unset it also in Terminal
    $ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
    (Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

  • HT204003 how do I permanently delete a pass from my passbook account? (It keeps reappearing after being deleted.)

    I have a pass in passbook that keeps reappearing after being deleted. It pops up (location sensitive) despite the fact that I have disabled the location services, repeatedly. I need to permanently delete it.

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

    If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

  • Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6

    Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6 even after i remove them from itunes. plus it shows as others in the storage. how to remove the albums ? i removed them from the itunes linked folders though it still shows on the iphone !!!

    If they were placed on the phone using iTunes sync, the following from iTunes: Syncing photos has instructions on how to remove them. If that doesn't work it is usually because they were added from another computer. Many have reported success by first adding one or two new photos to the phone via iTunes sync using the instructions in the above link and then syncing again using the delete instructions below.
    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.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

  • Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they?

    Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they? Cannot find on pc or iTunes.

    X2 on King_Penguin's reply, however, those files are hidden by default.   I'm on Windows 7.  You'd click on your "Start", click on "Computer", click on "Organize" up on the top of the window and click on "Folders and Search Options".  Check off the "Show all Folders" under Navigation pane.  That will show all the hidden files.  Then you can follow the directions King wrote above.    Sorry, if you have a Mac, I don't know how to help you navigate to where the "Folders and Search Options" is.  Google should be a good resource.
    It's pretty simple once you find it.  I was moving my back up file from my lap top to my desk top because I wanted to begin syncing my ipad and iphone to my desk top.   Once I unhid the files, I copied it to a thumb drive, uploaded it to my desk top and voila.    Just make sure when you are done you check the box to hide the files again.  You don't want to leave them vulnerable.
    Hope this helps.
