Problem deleting Original Pictures in ApertureDatabase

Since installation of OS-X Leopard I can no longer delete any picture inside may projects in my Aperure database. Neither in my old library nor in a completely new one.
Has anybody made the same experience?
Can anybody give me a useful hint what I can do?
Tx.

1 - I'm not clear on your question but remember the primary rule of iPhoto (and all database programs) is NEVER use the finder or any other program to delete or modify the contents of the database (the iPhoto library) - DO NOT use the finder to delete anything in the iPhoto library
2 - if you select a photo in an event in iPhoto and delete it (press the delete key or drag it to the iPhoto trash) and then empty the iPhoto trash and teh system trash the photo is totally gone from the system
If this is not happening then you have a corrupted library and need to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
If the "originals folder" you created is outside the iPhoto library then you are in chare of it and must delete form it - iPhoto never does anything to anty think that is not in its library
In the iPhoto preferences have you unchecked the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library?
as to Lightroom - it is totally sepearte from iPhoto and does basically the same thing in a different way - to use photos in it you export tehm from iPhoto and import to LR - do not have LR directly access the contents of the iPhoto library - or have iPhoto directly access the contents of a LR library - they must  be seperate

  • How do I delete "original" pictures?

    Is there a way to delete the original picture that iPhoto has? When I make changes (brightness, contrast, red-eye reduction, etc...) it keeps the original in the library and makes a copy with the new image. (I believe this is called non-destructive editing???)
    Anyway, I don't want all this wasted space with the original photos I will never use. How can I clean up my library and regain that space?

    Tim:
    That's not easily doable in iPhoto 7. iPhoto is set up so that you always have a copy of the digital negative, i.e. original file. If you really have to do that then you can do the following (but it's not recommended as you can damage the library if done improperly):
    1 - open the iPhoto library package and locate the modified file in the Modified folder.
    2 - copy the modified file to the Originals folder containing the original version of that file and replace it.
    3 - in iPhoto select that file and execute the Revert to Original.
    This deletes the modified file and takes you back to the original which has been replaced by the modified.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Deleting Original Pictures Question?

    I just started using iPhoto. Prior to that I had all my pictures organized in folders by event. I imported all my pictures in iPhoto and almost everything was correct. For about 500 photos they dates we wrong causing the events to be out of order. I changed all the dates to the correct dates. I looked in the package contents on the iPhoto library file and noticed that there is a modified folder and an original folder. My question is relating to that... I compared the two folders and found that when I modified the date it created an entire new file in the modified folder... but it did not delete the original. I can understand keeping the original if you ever want to revert back or something... but all I did was change the date. I don't see the point in having two copies of the same picture, only with different dates.
    Is there anyway to delete those originals without manually going through original directory and comparing the files to the modified directory???
    Thank in advance!

    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Deleting original pictures

    Is there a progam that allows me to delete the originals of pictures? I have tried iphoto diet, but that does not allow you to delete individually. Also it is too time consuming to go through the iphoto library folders to find the originals.
    Thank You, Margaret

  • Original Pictures Deleted?!?

    Hello,
    I have a very bad problem...not too long ago I put a lot of pictures on my iPod nano and they everything worked fine! But then I plugged in my iPod a few times to chance some songs...now I wanted to look at some pictures I took(5000) and they are all gone! somehow itunes deleted those pictures! Did anyone have had the same prob as i do?? I want my pictures back...what would be the best solution?
    Im waiting for quick responses! THanks!
    luc

    the programm somehow deleted the ORIGINAL pictures!!
    Where are you saying it deleted the originals? From your iPod or from your computer?
    The original pictures should be on your computer.
    Are they still in the folder you selected in iTunes prefs -> iPod - Photo tab?
    The originals are only copied to the iPod if you open iTunes prefs -> iPod - Photo tab and check Copy full resolution photos to iPod.
    If this box is not checked, to save space, iTunes will only load a small version of the picture onto the iPod.

  • Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

    Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

    I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there.  With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do?  I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart.  I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail.  Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly.  I used audacity to reverse the audio.
    ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
    Thanks

  • Delete original file (from camera)

    Hi all,
    I use iPhoto and Photoshop on my Mac for different purposes: iPhoto for family events and travel that I won't be doing much (if any) editing to, and Photoshop (Elements 7) for my hobby photography pictures.
    I got on Photoshop this morning to import some recent photos from my camera, hooked things up as always, opened Bridge CS3, and selected File>Get photos from camera.
    For some reason, I can't find the Delete Original Files checkbox in the Photo Downloader screen (whereas it shows up here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/2.0/help.html?content=WSEC378273-AF69-4a1e-9CD8-10 8420C556ED.html). I could be totally wrong, but thought I've always done things this way in the past to reduce a lot of tiny-camera-button-clicking through tons of photos.
    Did this button disappear with a version update? Do I have some other option set incorrectly to not allow this one to appear? Or has the button never been there, and if not, is there a way to delete photos in mass from my camera?
    Thanks for any & all help,
    Lori Ann

    What you saw was a screenshot of Bridge CS4, somewhat misleading regarding the URL mention Bridge 2.0 in fact it is Bridge 3.0 that comes with CS4. And for some strange reason they added this option to Photodownloader CS4, IMO that energy could have been used better...
    However as per Ramón, using this way is also in my opinion not the best way to work. If you don't want or have a card reader (again, not wise :-) ) then only download image from the camera and after this disconnect the camera and use the camera menu itself to format the CF card and start with a fresh and empty CF card.
    BUT, don't do this before you have checked if the files you have copied to the computer are OK to open and again a wise thing would be to first make a back-up (if you study the downloader options a little you will see that this is also an option you can (or in fact should) use.

  • Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

    Dear reader,
    i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
    I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
    A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

    When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called  '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing... 

  • Our Iphone 4S is full of pictures which transferred to my Ipad through Icloud.  Everytime I delete pictures on my iphone it deletes the pictures on my ipad.  We are using my iphone as a camera.  We are in Croatia and it is hard to find someone to answer

    We are in Croatia and are having trouble getting help for our problem.  We have an Ipad and an Iphone 4S.  I have been using the Iphone as a camera.  The icloud has been transferring pictures to the ipad.  Now, my iphone is full of pictures (180) and if I delete a picture, it disappears from my ipad as well.  We need some advice as to how we can save the pictures in the ipad - maybe to another file?  And then be able to delete the pictures from my Iphone without deleting them from the Ipad.  Or, if that is impossible.  What accessories should I look for so that I can download pictures on a device, then delete my pictures from the iphone and start all over again.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks from 2 very confused people.

  • How do I delete multiple pictures at once from the cloud.

    I have over a thousand pictures to delete. Doing them one at a time. Is very time consuming.

    You can use the control key to highlight multiple pictures or videos. Then under Manage at the top you can delete them all at once.  There is a problem because the pictures are small and it's hard to tell which is the best picture out of the five someone took but you can look at them by double clicking before you select the ones to delete.

  • How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

    how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

    You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

  • How can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture?

    how can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture? I can find the link to the original event folder, but is there a way to get right to the picture without having to search visually the event folder?

    Depends on whatr you mean
    Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
    HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
    But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them

  • Problem deleting multiple keywords in lightroom 5

    I am importing about 20,000 pictures from Flickr. they are all creative commons, and the end result will be the use of approximately 4000 of these in an online sign language dictionary.
    I use Bulkr to import them and this process imports the tags as well as other information such as the photographers name and url.  Many of these photos arrive with hundreds of tags, so that the total number of tags might be 20000 or more.  I need to assign my own tags and delete all the tags that the photo arrived with.  I use the lightroom batch delete to do this (the little minus sign at the top of the keyword list).  i select a keyword, hold down the shift key and scroll down.  the problem is that i cannot just scroll down to the bottom of the list.  There appear to be unpredictable keywords that cause the shift-select process not to work.  if i scroll back up and then carefully scroll part of the way back down, then there will be a point at which shift-select stops working and above that it works. 
    The end result of this is that it takes numerous shift-select-scroll down-select to delete everything so that what should take maybe 2 minutes takes 20 minutes or more. 
    The problem may be related to foreign language keywords especially chinese characters, but even what looks like a perfectly ordinary keyword can stop it.  Two recent examples: travellers cheque  and Київ. In all cases, the words can be deleted when i click directly on them.  you just cant shift-select THROUGH them.
    A separate annoyance that i will just grumble about is that i was forced to put these pictures in a separate catalog because there is always the risk that i could manage to delete my own keywords while batch-deleting everyone elses, and there is no simple way that i know of to undo this. with the separate catalog at least i wont delete all the keywords for my own pictures.

    With respect to problems deleting multiple keywords: On Windows, since at least version 3, LR has had basic bugs when you have more than about 1600 keywords showing.  (Hard to believe it isn't fixed by now.)   A simple workaround for you situation is to filter the keywords one letter at a time and then select the subset of keywords that are showing -- e.g. filter all keywords with the letter "t", then all keywords with the letter "b", etc.
    With respect to not getting the keywords into your catalog in the first place: You can define a Metadata Preset that will clear the keywords on import:
