Photo Connect - delete w/o removing from hard drive

How do I remove jpg files from connected photo without removing them from my hard drive?
Thanks

Hello etu,
I do not use Connected Photo but according to the manual, the only way to remove an image off the Connected Photo viewer is to delete the photo. It looks like it has very limited customization ability.

It looks like it acts a Browser for your User files and does not create a virtual catalog to the files. IF it did, you could remove the reference without deleting the file like you can in Adobe Lightroom.
I do not know if it is programed to only search certain folders or if it scans the entire drive.
Have you tried moving those unwanted images to a different folder not in the My Photos folder to see if it releases the view of that image? That is, create a new folder named something else besides Photos and put it outside the main User folders of My Photos, My Documents, My Videos, etc.
Do let me know if this works, otherwise it does not look like there is anything else you can do.
Thanks.

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.

  • Files not being removed from hard drive

    I've deleted photos from the lightroom (5) catalog but the files havent been deleted from the folder on the hard drive (external).  What have i done wrong?

    I'll throw out a guess
    The folders containing these photos do not have WRITE permission, or are marked as read-only

  • Deleting unwanted web images from hard drive

    I discussed with a friend that my computer got up to 70 GB full, and even when I took most of my photos off it, the memory did not increase much. He told me I needed to delete all the unwanted web images which I would have been downloading over the last few years. Could someone please tell me how to do this. Thank you

    Hello Annabel,
    You can empty your web browser's cache. This will delete a lot of accumulated stuff from visited sites.
    If you are using Safari, from the top menu bar under Safari you should see this option. ( This could vary depending on which version of browser you are using but you get the idea I hope.)
    As to your deleting photos, note that after you delete photos etc, you need to _empty the trash_ to recover that disk space again.
    If you delete photos from within iPhoto, these images are held in the iPhoto application and the trash has to be deleted from within there to recover the space, rather than Finder.

  • DELETING FROM HARD DRIVE ( USING AN APPLE)

    Secret !!! to remove from Hard Drive (you must empty trash)then they are removed
    Good Luck,

    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.

  • 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 photo's in iPhoto didn't really delete them from hard drive

    I do a lot of photography, mostly sports/action etc. I just noticed that when I delete a photo in iPhoto, it is removed from my view, but it does not go into the trash can. I can use Finder on the pic's left in the same event folder and then peek around and still see the photo's I thought I had deleted. When I tell iPhoto to delete a photo, I want it to delete both copies (original and modified) - I'm afraid that I may have literally 1000's of photo's left over, sucking up hard drive space that I thought were deleted.

    with the managed photo library, iPhoto own's the pics.
    It doesn't.
    I have to make a copy of each photo to Picasa and then export to the web.
    You don't.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Reveal in Finder* - File -> Reveal in Finder will bring you to the Origina or Modified version, depending on which you choose.
    *To use iPhoto with an External Editor*
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    For the sake of completeness:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    If I restart my Skype then I am able delete the picture. I'm guess Skype didn't relinquish the picture file when it finished uploading. I checked "Open Files and Ports" from Activity Monitor and saw Skype was still had the picture file open.

    I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything to delete the movie rentals from my hard drive. I even called apple customer support & technical support who could not help.
    How did you fix your issue? My movies are located in the correct folder. I've even tried windows command prompt & safe mode deletes. I want my hard drive space back!

  • How can I remove the hard drive from an iMac g4 before recycling it?

    How can I remove the hard drive from an iMac g4 before recycling it?

    There are take-apart guides online.  For example
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html
    However, you can also consider securely erasing the hard drive instead.  You can do this using a Mac OS X installation disc with a version that your iMac G4 can boot from the optical drive.  If this is a viable option, please post back (include Mac OS X version on installation disc).

    Having removed the hard drive I'm finding I can't reformat it. I manage to mount the HD but Disk Utility crashes when trying to format (HD attached to Mac via Newer Tech. SATA cables to USB) and causes what I think is a kernal panic on my Mac which hard crashes. I see 3 partitions when attempting to mount one of which is AFP. Anyone got any ideas about how to do this? I've dug around but the only progress I've made is to note others have had to work around ACL's when replacing the logic board of the TC. Not sure if this even relates to the problem. However the tool for doing this seems to have been removed from SL. (Forum references to this procedure all relate to 10.5).

  • Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro.  I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose.  Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
    I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like  a charm.

  • HELP moving photo's from hard drive with aperture to hard drive with iphoto

    I was trying to move the photo's from hard drive a with aperture to hard drive b and start using iphoto but I have had no luck. In aperture when I select relocate masters a error comes up and say's: unavailable master images cannot be relocated. Either offline or not found. I originally had the masters on a external hard drive, when I got divorced my ex took the external drive for her mac. I am able to view the photos but I don't know how to move them. Thanks

    I think you're missing the point - it's a question of where the images are, and it sounds a lot like the images are on the hard disk you used to own.
    Managed = you keep the images in the Aperture library
    Referenced = the images stay where they are on the hard disk and they're indexed in the library.
