Photo files removing

May be its me...
Can load photo files and play them etc but how do you remove them from the "touch". The "help" seems less than helpful in this respect. Everything else works as expected - maps, web, email. Any help welocme - for a generally intuitive bit of kit, this photo removal eludes me.
Thank you,
Steve 1812

Remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synchronize photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," remove or delete them from My Pictures and sync your iPod.
You may already be using this method to add photos but if you're not it's a handy way to manage what photos you have on the iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod

When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

Can't find photo files.

I have been looking for the individual photo files on my computer. When I open the "Pictures" folder the only option that I am given is iPhoto.
If I click on it, it opens iPhoto but does not show the individual files. I have used the finder to search for the individual photos by name and the search does not turn up the file.
My ultimate question is, how do I go about finding these photo files on my computer that I know have not been removed.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: 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.
(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:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
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 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Photo file names Deleted by iPad

Asked this 3 months ago, but got no response. Can't understand what iPad does to photo file names. 1. Can't see photo file name in albums/events. 2. when iPad emails photo, the file that is received is called only La Foto (the photo, my wife uses spanish). If I send her a photo with a name I assigned (date, camera-assigned number, file size), and she saves it to an album and sends it back, the file name I sent her is gone, and photo is simply La Foto. How can you organize or keep track of photos, w/o info such as name, date, camera number, etc.? And why does iPad remove specifically created names? Nothing in Manual or Settings on this.
We've an iPad, and also a MB Air and iMac.

Thanks for your time doing the check.
I'm sorry that currently I don't have the similiar resource to do the same.
I guess that it might be the difference caused by different iOS / idevice.
I think that I'll check and modify the app after I got iOS 6 devices.
Thanks for your comments and your time.
Thanks for your reply, and I hope you get a more recent device soon for Father's/Mother's Day or whatever! I'm a little confused as to what the situation is. According to w'pedia the iOS 5 that you have does have photostream, but I don't know if it supports multiple streams (which you create by touching the + when in photostream). Is the problem that your version does not support multiple streams so you can't test the issue I raised, or is it that it does support multiple streams and works correctly with iOS 5 but not with iOS 6?
PS: I've checked, and find my iPod has the same limitation as I mentioned above with the iPad.

How do I access photo files from Aperture Vault for Lightroom?

I am considering switching from Aperture to Lightroom on the Mac. Aperture uses Vaults to store its photo files. What is the proper procedure to access these files so that Lightroom can use them? If I switch, the files can be completely removed from the Vaults, but before I finalize the switch, I need to keep the files available to Aperture AND Lightroom (or at least, copies of the files available to Lightroom).

Jao's suggestion will work, though you have to dig through a couple of package files. The advantage of Relocate Masters is that you can set up a folder structure that reflects the old projects, if you want, or break everything out into a date format.
Rather than either way of trying to keep files in both systems, the better way to make a transition though is to use Export Masters because it can create sidecars which LR can read, so all your keywords and other metadata come across.

Deleting Photo Files in Lightroom 4

I use Aperture 3 and am thinking of switching to Lightroom 4. I do not store my photos in the Aperture 3 library. Instead I store my photos in my own folder system on an external hard drive and I reference the files in Aperture. This works well for most functions, but when I delete a photo from Aperture, it simply removes the thumbnail and all versions from Aperture, but does not delete the actual photo file on my hard drive. If I want to delete the actual photo file I must click "show file in finder" and manually delete it from the finder window.
Is the process of organizing photos in your own folder system, and deleting unwanted photos, more seemlessly integrated in Lightroom 4?
Thanks!

Yes
When you start the delete, Lightroom will give the option to delete or simply remove the photo from the Lightroom catalog. Remove retains the file on disk whereas delete will delete the file.

I have CC and bridge, bridge will open but I cannot open a photo file. I get a message: Windows cannot fint C:............... CS4 ck to see if you have spelled properly. Any Ideals? I had CS4 but have since removed it.

A couple of possibilities:
How did you remove CS4 ? If you removed it improperly instead of Uninstalling it (say, you "deleted" it or just dragged it to the Recycling Bin), you almost certainly left stuff behind that needed uninstalling.
What's even worse, if you removed CS4 after you installed CC you may have messed with the CC installation.
I'm not going to attempt to tell you how to fix it, since this will probably involve uninstalling CC and after that looking for, downloading the Adobe CS_Cleaner tool and the CC_Cleaner tool, then re-installing CC, since I'm not a Windows user and don't want to mislead you.
In any case, when Windows users chime in to assist you, they'll need all the details which you have not provided so far.

700P/Verizon: Cannot find some contact photo files?

Hello,
I have a Treo 700P (on Verizon) that I'm trying to get all of my data off.
I noticed that some of my contact photos that were taken with the Treo camera while editing the contact are NOWHERE to be found either on the external memory card that I'm using (SD card) or on the internal memory.
Does anyone know where these type of image files are stored and if they can be accessed? I have quite a bit of contacts whom I took a picture of them while I was editing their contact profile that I cannot access (or don't know where to access) the image files.
I've looked up and down in the Pics & Videos app and cannot find these pictures. I finally figured out that the pictures that I cannot find are the ones that I had taken as mentioned above (while editing a contact and selecting the picture from "camera"; it's either "camera", "photos" or "remove" as options).
While in Palm Desktop, if I open a contact in question, same thing, the image is there within the contact but I cannot do anything (like copy it or anything else), other than select a different photo file or remove the current one.
I have the "FileZ" app, but I don't really know what I'm looking for (not sure if that app would allow me to find these files in question or not, just thought I'd throw that out there in case it would help).
PLEASE someone help me if you can!! I'd definitely appreciate it! I like quite a few of the pictures that the Treo took while I was making the contact file for family/friends, but I cannot get any access to them!
Obviously these files are stored somewhere and they must be on my PC as well (I'm running Vista), but, again, I cannot find it in the Pics/Video backup directory that Palm Desktop creates neither (it just has the same pics/videos that are seen on the Treo itself under the Pics/Video app).
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

thanks thetreoguy!
I do realize that the image quality is no better than a small thumbnail; but, is there still a way to extract it from the database? I'm not using the pictures for anything other than to use them for profile pictures on another smartphone (so they do not need to be high-rez images, just exactly what they are on the Treo).
I do use a SD card for image storage, but didn't realize while editing a contact that if you select "camera" from method of adding a picture that the Treo would take the picture but not store it in any usable area. If there is no way to extract at all from the contact database, then I guess I'm just S.O.L. then, huh?
I do appreciate your response very much as I was thinking it might only be me having the problem! haha
If you have any idea how I could extract from the contact database, it would be awesome!
Thanks again!

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**:The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**: The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

When I edit a photo and remove red-eye, iphoto 6.0.4 resizes image

Hi - I am using iPhoto 6.0.4
When I edit a photo to remove the red eye, the image get's resized to, and saved as, a tiny thumbnail on a black background. I then can't recover the image to original size.
Can anyone help?

ian
Check the bottom right hand corner of the window, see the slider there? Move it to the right does that help?
If not, right click on the pic and choose 'Show File', what folder does this take you to?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x? I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it? Can I pay someone to access it? Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

You have to stop using the drive immediately. Completely stop. Do not boot the computer from the drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.
http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software
It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful. Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

? on photo - file found but only linking that one photo even when the box is checked.

In Lightroom Library, a set of photos all have ?? question marks.. SO when I begin to link to the file, it is not linking the whole folder.. but only one at a time. What can I do?

what happened was files were moved outside lightroom, and its having trouble locating them...
Locate missing photos
Sometimes the link between the catalog and a photo breaks. When that happens, Lightroom displays a Photo Is Missing icon in image cells in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. In the Develop module, Lightroom indicates that the photo is offline or missing. Links between a catalog and its photos can break for a variety of reasons, including because photos are moved in the operating system instead of from within Lightroom, or because photos are stored on an external drive that is offline. If the drive is offline, turn it on.
(Optional) In the Library module, choose Library > Find Missing Photos to display missing files in the Grid view.
Click the Photo Is Missing icon in a thumbnail cell in the Grid view.A dialog box opens and displays the last known location of the missing photo.
Click the Locate button, navigate to where the photo is currently located, and then click Select.
(Optional) In the Locate dialog box, select Find Nearby Missing Photos to have Lightroom search for other missing photos in the folder and reconnect them as well.
you are going to want to do the #4, to reconnect all of them.

Ps. if that doesn't work, trying synching your folders:
Synchronize folders
When you synchronize folders, you have the option of adding files that have been added to the folder but not imported into the catalog, removing files that have been deleted, and scanning for metadata updates. The photo files in the folder and all subfolders can be synchronized. You can determine which folders, subfolders, and files are imported.
In the Folders panel, select the folder you want to synchronize.
Choose Library > Synchronize Folder.
In the Synchronize Folder dialog box, do any of the following:
To import photos that appear in the folders but have not been imported in the catalog, select Import New Photos. If you select Show Import Dialog Before Importing, you can specify which folders and photos are imported.
To remove photos that have been deleted from the folder but not from the catalog, select Remove Missing Photos From Catalog. If this option is dimmed, no files are missing. (You can choose Show Missing Photos to display the photos in Grid view.)
To scan for any metadata changes made to the files in another application, choose Scan For Metadata Updates.
Click Synchronize.
If the Import Photos dialog box opens, specify the folders and files you want to import, and then click Import.

How do I delete photo files on my Iphone?

How can I delete photo files on my Iphone?... I am able to delete pictures I take with the Iphone, but am unable to delete photos from my computer???

Photos in the Photo Album are synced one way from the computer to the iPhone. If you connect the phone, then click on the Photos tab you can see what folder on your computer will sync to the Photo app. To remove photos from the Photo Album on the phone you must remove them from the folder on your computer, then sync the phone.

Why can't I delete simple photo files even with admin access?

I'm cleaning my Time Capsule HD deleting some photo files. Most of them were just moved to trash, but when I try to move a specific folder, the OS asks my password saying that Finder wants to make changes. After typing in my password I receive a message that I don't have permission to access some of the items. It dosn't make any sense since I, same account tring to delete them, have copied these files into that folder.
I really appreciate any support.
Thaks and regards,
Alex

Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup? Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system. Here is the BEST QnA on the subject :

Photos from Removable Media

What do the folders and files in the folder "My Pictures\Adobe\Photos from Removable Media" represent - when were they formed - how are they used - and can I safely delete them?

>My Pictures\Adobe\Photos from Removable Media
Or photos that were read in from a USB "thumb drive".
I agree do not delete them.
