Old podcasts were auto deleted from hard drive

I download a handful of podcasts once a week and keep a regular backlog on hand to listen to when traveling. This week, all of my archived podcast files -- looks like anything older than one week -- are gone. They were still listed in iTunes, but the files were deleted from my hard drive. They aren't even in my recycle bin, so I know I didn't delete them.
I assume this happened during my latest iTunes update (yeah, I know, this probably covered in the encyclopedic user agreement), but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. I did spot the Allow/Do Not Auto Delete option, which I'll now use every time.
Thanks.

However I have a couple of grayed out folders with a question mark and "inval..." that are non-functional and nothing happens when I choose "remove".
Try rebooting your computer. In previous instances, that sometimes caused these phantom folders to disappear from Lightroom's folder pane.

Old podcasts not being deleted from hard drive

Can anyone help me with this problem? I currently have the "keep only unplayed podcasts" selected. ITunes synchs great with my Nano. If a podcast is played, it is taken off of the Nano.
The problem is that the podcast is not also deleted from my hard drive. I have to manually delete the file and "move to recycle bin." Does anyone know a way of having ITunes actually delete the file from the hard drive? I don't want to waste so much space.
I am using ITunes 7.

I'm running a managed library.
Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?

Colour differences & LR not deleting from hard drive

Hi,
I am running a Dell Dimension 1100, a NEC MultiSync 70 monitor, Xp SP 2 home, Olympus Master 2 and a full version of Lightroom 1.0,Photoshop CS2, and use a Olympus E-500 DSLR.
I have a slight issue with how Lightroom shows the colours of my pictures when i am comparing Olympus Master 2 v. Lightroom 1.0. Most pictures its hard to tell the difference without going back and forth constantly, but when i look at my pictures of flowers or landscapes, my pictures look so much more vibrant in Olympus Master compared to Lightroom. Is this a settings issue? or perhaps something else?
Also.....
when deleting pictures from Lightroom, it asks me if i wish to delete from the hard drive or just remove from Lightroom, when i choose delete from hard drive, after it says its done, if i go look at the folder its still there :/.
any help would be apprieciated, I am a novice dslr user and still learning how to use the softwares out there

Are you shooting images in raw or jpeg mode?
I assume that Olympus Master 2 is the raw processing software bundled with your camera. If so, then you are asking why Olympus software renders pictures differently than Lr. This question has been asked (and answered) many times but it boils down to the fact that the Olympus default rendering could be far different than that chosen by Lr. Also, Olympus may embed proprietary information in the raw image useful to Master 2 but entirely unknown to Lr.
If you want Lr to operate more like Master 2, then create a Lr preset (with the appropriate adjustments -- likely a saturation boost), then apply this preset when importing.
Finally, the camera raw engine (ACR) used by Lr is noted for producing images more muted than that produced by software bundled with cameras. In my opinion this is a good thing since the default rendering that many cameras produce is not at all natural. But the powerful Lr develop module allows me to create any interpretation I choose. Including a head spinning contrast and saturation boost.

Deleting from library does not delete from hard drive????

itunes support states when deleting from library, it should prompt to remove from hard drive. i am not getting this prompt. i cannot find a setting that changes this either. please advise
thanks,

It only deletes it from the hard drive if it is in the iTunes Music folder path;
Look at your itunes menu > Edit > Preferences >Advanced tab.
"itunes music folder location"
For example, say it is set to C:/Music. If you delete a file from the itunes library list that exists in C:/Music you'll get asked if you want to keep or delete the file.
If you delete a file from the itunes library lists that exists in C:/SomeOtherFolder, it will not get deleted from the hard drive.

DELETING FROM HARD DRIVE ( USING AN APPLE)

I had a hard time at first to figure this out.
Flag pictures with an X
Message - Delete the rejected master photo from disk or just remove them from lightroom.
Choose - Delete remove from dick.
Secret !!! to remove from Hard Drive (you must empty trash)then they are removed
Good Luck,
Rick Rickard

This is pretty standard behavior on a Mac, and it provides you wil another chance to reconsider esp. if you learn that you've trashed a whole folder instead of one image.
You can also just hit delete from a folder view and get that dialogue.

IPhoto 08 - Loosing photos, iPhoto automatically deletes from hard drive!

Hi,
I am using iPhoto 08 v 7.1.5 on Max OS X 10.6.4
We are 2 users sharing the same iPhoto library and after ongoing issues with permissions I have moved the iPhoto library (as per Apple's instructions) to a Sparse Disk Image on the Shared folder and changed the permissions for all to rear&write - then copied the library to this Disk Image and pointed all iPhoto libraries there.
Worked well until we started to import photos from a camera. From my profile it imported the photos, but then when copying them to the library come up with an error 'File is corrupt'. I started iPhoto in shift&option mode and repaired permissions. This fixed it and I could import.
The other user imported photos yesterday from their profile. No errors on import and the photos were property loaded into the library. I did check the library AND the files in the Finder - all was well. 2 hours later, ALL FILES HAD GONE!!! There were no trace of the files. Not in the trash (iPhoto or System) - I searched the whole drive, GONE!!!
I am a bit freaked, if iPhoto is going to delete files permanently from the drive its NOT good. The photos were already deleted from the camera so they are gone for good.
Has anyone experienced the same or got an explanation??
Appreciate any help with this!
Cheers
Chris

I've seen this mentioned on here a couple of times. Tracing it with these other users what seems to occur is that iPhoto imports the photos to the database but fails to copy the actual files into the Originals folder.
I'm not sure why this happens.
If you haven't used the camera since you can recover the files from the card with an app like MediaRecover

Old folders deleted from hard drive are grayed out but won't delete

Some kind of error occurred in lightroom 5 that caused a folder of photos I had previously imported to be grayed out and have a question mark. To the right where the number of photos shows, it says inval... (invalid?). The usual process for matching up missing photos didn't work and I got error messages. Finally I removed the folder of photos from the hard drive and copied it to another drive and renamed it. Then I copied it back to the hard drive where I usually store folders. This time the import worked as usual.
However I have a couple of grayed out folders with a question mark and "inval..." that are non-functional and nothing happens when I choose "remove".
How can I get rid of them?

How to option+delete (delete from hard drive) in iTunes 12?

In all prior versions of iTunes it was possible to option+delete a single or multiple tracks, which allowed users to delete the 'physical' files from their drives, as well as from the iTunes Library.
In iTunes 12, this option has seem to have disappeared (?)
I've just updated to Yosemite (hence iTunes 12), and have changed nothing in my iTunes preferences since this post: iTunes 11.1.2 not registering new ID3 v2.4 tags (Deleting music from both library and HDD), where I had the same issue with deleting tracks from the hard drive.
Has the keyboard shortcut been removed in iTunes 12???
This is the warning dialog when 'option+deleting' a certain track: (which doesn't delete the file from the drive, but only the library)

Yes, that's how it's supposed to work. But it doesn't. Or it does only sometimes. Here's what indeed is supposed to be available when right-clicking:
Obviously I can click "delete" and it will ask me if I really want to and whether to send to trash, etc etc.
However, here's how it works with the next item down:
Sorry, I know that these are Mac screenshots, but this is the only place I found the problem described. If nothing else, let them serve as evidence that we aren't just imagining the problem.

Deleting from itunes deletes from hard drive

I just noticed that if i delete a song from itunes it also gets deleted from the music folder on my hard drive. itunes points to my music folder because i get a library error when I point it to the itunes folder.

I was having this problem and managed to find a solution.
I had to change my iTunes folder to the same folder that my music was actually located in.
In iTunes:
Edit -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> (iTunes Music Folder Location) Change..
Hope this helps some people.

Files not deleting from hard drive when I delete them from i-tunes......hel

I just upgraded to Vista and I reloaded my songs to i-tunes. I have many duplicates that I want to get rid of. I deleted and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.

iTunes will only remove (or ask) to remove) if the items are located in the iTunes music folder shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
If the items are in that location and it is not asking, then click on *Reset all dialog warnings:* in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.
Likely it is a permissions issue with the iTunes folder. Mkae sure you have full Read/Write permissions to the iTunes folder and all contents.

Lightroom 5: "Remove Photo" will not delete from hard drive

I just discovered that when I am using the "Remove photo" feature from the library, while the photo is removed from the catalog and "deleted", it remains on my external hard drive. Is there a fix to this issue? I did go to my external drive and create a file and then delete it. I had read in other forums that this allowed Lightroom to find the correct place. This did not solve my problem.
Thank you for any assistance.
Karen

Yes I do.
After I posted, I tried it again in a different file (I organize my photos
on my external drive by month and year). In the month of August file, I
can delete in Lightroom and it deletes from my hard drive. It appears to
only be happening in my September file, at least as far as I can tell now.
I created all of my file folders 2 months ago, so it isn't something I
just did.
Any thoughts?

Identifying songs in itunes library that have been deleted from hard drive

Hello,
I recently had to delete a bunch of music from my hard drive by accessing it from another computer in the 'target disk mode.' Now I've got the computer up and running again but I don't want to go through my itunes library selecting each individual track that is no longer on my hard drive and removing it. Is there any feature in itunes 7 that will remove files (shortcuts) in the library with no source file in the itunes music or any other folders?
thanks

Photos I delete in library are not being deleted from hard drive

Help please. I have been trying to delete photos from the iPhoto library (Events and Photos) and emptying the iPhoto trash can. This is supposed to erase them from the hard drive. However, when I look in the hard drive in the Pictures folder, the photos I deleted are still there. Could someone tell me what might be wrong? Thanks!

Music files deleted from hard drive and iTunes library

Often, after iTunes software updates, I find that some of my music files that have been uploaded from cds are completely erased from my music library and from my external hard drive, where I keep all my music. I always make sure I turn on the external drive before opening iTunes, and I quit iTunes before turning off the external drive.
So why is my music disappearing?! Where does it go? This has been a problem for a long time and I can't find any solutions online. Please help! Thank you!

When you have the unit in the dock, anytime you sync, you have to make sure that it will sync again to the folder. If it isn't set to sync the same folder where you had the music sync before, it'll delete the file.
That's just the way it's set up. So you have be conscious of it.
