Photos don't get deleted after iphoto import, help

I posted this in the iphoto forums but got not answers....
photos remain on my iphone after have imported them into iphoto and selected 'delete originals' after import
anyone know a fix?
thanks!

me too!
Here is my setup and my steps.
I am running iTunes v9.0.1 and iPhoto '09 v8.1 and Mac OS X 10.6.1 and a first generation iPhone.
STEPS I TOOK
1. I plug in my iPhone and iPhoto Launches (as expected)
2. I see my iPhone in iPhoto under devices and it's selected
3. I click on Import All…
3a If I tick "Hide photos already imported" on, iPhoto does understand that the Photos have already been imported.
4. I click on the Import All button and tick "Apply to all duplicates" and choose Don't Import so that I don't end up with duplicates
5. After all my photos have been imported a window comes up with the message, "Delete Photos on Your Camera?" — I click on Delete Photos
6. The photos remain on my iPhone. (Arghh!)
I have tried to tell iTunes to "Sync photos from" and chose a small album in the hopes that this would trigger something but it only adds the small album and keeps the photos that are still on my phone that I wish to remove.
Has anyone found any further information on this issue?
I tried some other things.
-I started up iPhoto while holding down the alt key and created a new Library to isolate my library
-I created a new library
-I chose to import
-When prompted I chose to delete the photos from my iPhone
THIS WORKED! (finally)
OK, something interesting happened this time. On my iPhone, my Photo Album contains a Camera Roll (1) (in brackets there is a one, indicating one photo and next to 'Camera Roll' there is a preview of the last photo I took with the camera. It is not literally the last photo I took with the camera, in fact it is the last photo I took before updating my iPhone - I have updated my iphone twice since that photo was taken. Anyway I click on that photo and I get a blank library on my iphone. Not sure if the preview thumbnail should be there but now my iPhone is blank.
Next I quit iPhoto.
I relaunched iPhoto (with alt being held down so I can choose my main library - just to be sure of things)
Now that I have all the photos off my iPhone I am happy but this deserves more testing just to be sure this isn't a sticky issue.
Does anyone else have any other ideas on this issue?
PS I had already tried a restore and restarted my iPhone to no avail.
Thanks

Accidentally clicked delete after iPhoto import

Greetings, I just accidentally clicked delete all after importing from my wifes iPhone 4s to her iPhoto library. I very quickly grabbed the USB cable out of my mac mini and the photo's are fine in the library and phone. But I'm curious about what will happen now (leaving aside the ungraceful usb dismount).I've been backing the phone up nightly both into iPhoto and iTunes. If I plug that in tonight will iPhoto remember that bad click and begin deleting the 3k images on her phone? Her iPhoto library had 8k+ images, so if that happened I can't think of how I would know which ones to restore (of course, hoping someone can tell me "that won't happen" or double your money back ) Any ideas on what will happen and/or how to recover if the worst does?
<Edited by Host>

Sorry to be a pest (here's the but);
Larry I know it's unsupported, the warning dialog tells me so "would never be done" is a -completely- different idea. Users -often- use software outside it's design parameters that's why STE and STD's lurk forums like this. I get that maybe they're not going to help me out but I'm giving them the option. Also, I grok usb, despite my mistake I've used Unix since the 80's and usb since the month it was released. Users make mistakes If I've corrupted the volume I'll take my lumps, and restore from iTunes. that's not really my question.
I'm asking about iPhoto.
iPhoto was where I clicked delete all. There's no danger of iPhone backup deleting images from my phones camera roll. -iPhoto- will interact with the phone the next time I connect it, I'm just curious if the expected behavior is for iPhoto to remember that the user clicked delete and the phone was disconnected before the process ran, and go back to catch up on the request (despite the app being quit and the machine restarted). Or if iPhoto will detect that the phone went away and say "well, I guess we'll skip that one".
I'm curious to know if anyone here has insight, if not I'll plug it in tonight (France time) and let you all know if it was easy or if I had to do a phone restore.

Where are individual photo files stored on disk after iPhoto import?

This might be the dumbest question in iPhoto history but WHERE in the file system are the individual photo files stored after importing them into iPhoto?
The reason I ask is I want to simply go to the file location in the finder window and attach to an email or edit with another application.
When I go to Pictures>iPhoto Library there is one gigantic iPhoto library file.
Thanks!

The photos are stored inside the iPhoto Package File. This is simply a Unix style package file, it makes it a tiny bit more difficult for users to inadvertently muck up their iPhoto. WHy do I say this? Because it is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
As to getting pics for email:
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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. *Show File*: 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.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
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. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Library Gets Deleted After I Import it

Everytime I open my iTunes, my library is blank. I import all of my music, but once I close iTunes, the next time I reopen it my library has been deleted. It seems as if the library folder is automatically being moved to my recycle bin. How can I fix this?
Thanks

... Eset's Nod32 or Smart Security (especially in conjunction with a "the library cannot be saved" message when closing iTunes) ...
Possibly Kaspersky too, Katrina ...
I haven't quite seen a blanked library file with Kaspersky yet ... but have found at least one case recently of it mucking around with library files in a crash-inducing sort of way:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2334948
(A bit nasty the way it can "fake" a user account specific issue. It makes sense, but doesn't help with the diagnoses.)

Photos don't get deleted from iCloud

i took pictures with my iPhone and they backed up to iCloud, i saved the pictures on my Mac. But when i removed my pictures from the camera roll, and then backed up my Phone to iCloud it seems that the pictures are still on iCloud (since i see the space occupied by camera roll). is there anyway to make sure they're not there ? and/or delete them ?
thanks.

Photo stream photos will be deleted once you reach 1,000 unless you import them into iPhoto. You can set your iPhoto preferences to import them automatically.

Sound on clips gets deleted after quiting FCP X, why?

Sound on some clips I imported from my GoPro gets deleted after I have quit the program and go back to it. However, in the FCP X events folder, the original media still has the sound in the clip. I do not understand why this is happening.
Does anybody have any advice?

One slight point about Patrick's info.
Since version 10.0.3, FCP X has been able to edit multicam and most people agree that it does so in a far superior and easy way.
I would also suggest that as a beginner you completely ignore the "Help" menu as it can be very confusing.
Instead download these 2 hours of FREE video tutorials and you will see and learn exactly how to use FCP X in no time at all:-
http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/
Finally do not spend a penny on FCP X until you are sure it is right for you.
You can achieve this by downloading the FREE 30 DAY TRIAL:-
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
So within 30 minutes of reading this post you could have FCP X sitting on your desktop and be starting to edit with it . . . and all without spending a penny!
P.S. If you already have FCP 7 & and it does what you want, you should stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Library gets deleted after I close itunes

Hello,
For some reason my library gets deleted after closing itunes. When I re-open itunes i can watch my recycle bin get filled up with my library its an .xml file. If I hit restore it does nothing!!! This is getting very annoying, and the geniuses at itunes blame windows (couldn't tell me why) and the sony store (where I got my computer) blames itunes! Also I get a ton of .tmp file in my itunes folder while I use itunes, and they don't delete.

Anyone!!!!

Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

It goes into a Originals or Masters folder inside the iPhoto Library "package" which is really a folder designed not to look like one so people don't open it up and mess with it's insides.
Normally you can manage your photo's in iPhoto and export copies from there, but in emergency or bulk copy cases you might have to access the iPhoto Library directly and copy from there instead.
To open this iPhoto Library "package", right or control click on it and "Show package contents"
Be sure to only duplicate and move original files out and don't mess around there as it will them mess up your iPhoto Library.

Did you sign in to www.icloud.com and check if you have accidently activated Rules (or Forwarding)?
