Problem deleting photos

I can not delete photos from my pictures. I have tried several times. With tapping the picture and then hitting the delete button, but nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea. Thank you

Are you tryng to delete from Photostream? That's not possible. You should be able to delete from events or total photos imported. When things don't work as expected try a hard reset.

Problems deleting photos

Has anyone had the same problem I have, deleting photos downloaded to my iPad? I mark them and then press the delete icon and nothing happens.....

No problem for me. Pressing the trash icon brings up the Delete option key. Pressing that then immediately deletes the picture. You can't delete photos in the Photo Library from the iPad. You can only do that from a desktop running iTunes.

Problems deleting photos in i9

while editing and deleting photos in the library, I found that I could not delete any more photos. the photos stayed in the library but also were in trash. After numerous tries, they would not delete. In previous deletes, one time there were NO photos in Trash, when i know i had just sent photos INTO trash. Now i have tried to export some photos and iphoto froze on me.
any suggestions from the experts...a corrupt library. How can it have gotten corrupt when I have never done anything with it except for upgrades (but haven't had any problems) for since iPhoto9

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Problem deleting photos in Aperture 2

I'm having a problem deleting any photos from Aperture 2.1.4 on a 2008 MacBook running OS X 10.6.8. I have restarted, reinstalled Aperture, repaired permissions and I am at a loss as to why I cannot delete any photos. I was able to just fine until recent.

Make sure you've selected a photo, a yellow highligh border around the photo, in the album before you use the Delete key. If you just hit the album icon to bring up the photos and use the Delete key without a photo definitely selected you will delete the album. But in that case you should get this wanring window at the top of the iPhoto window:
So if you're sure that you have selected a photo then the library is misbehaving and the following might help: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

N97 - problems deleting photos

I cannot delete photos from my n97, everytime i try to delete any photos stored I get the message "General system error" . I need to delete 127 photos and they seem to be just stuck there. The phone will not even let me sync them to my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like photos app database is corrupted. You've deleted the files, but they're still in phone's indexes/thumbnails cache. If you remove the database it'll rebuild itself.
Connect to PC in mass storage mode, check show hidden files in windows. Open phone's mass storage drive, then open Private folder. Open 10281e17and rename or delete [102830AB]thumbnail_v2. Use safely disconnect hardware in taskbar before disconnecting. Open photos app and it'll search for pics, hopefully the deleted ones will be gone.
If that doesn't help then repeat the above, and also open Images folder and rename or delete _PAlbTN content, then check photos app again.
Final solution is to format mass memory. The thing to note here is that all images will appear in Downloads folder once restored, only pics taken with camera after the format will appear in Captured. First uninstall apps from E:, this is just a precaution as some apps also store data on C: and this will help prevent any potential problems later such as duplicated entries. Use mass storage method to back up user files (pics, music, etc) to PC. Then format mass memory from file manager options. Restore data and reinstall apps.
Formatting mass memory can take some time depending on the amount of data you need to back up then restore, so it's worth trying deleting the Private/Images folder files first.

Having problems deleting photos on IPad 5.1

Problems deleting photos from iPhoto

I had about 9000 photos in the trash folder when I went to delete the trash. It was taking several minutes to delete them and I thought that maybe iPhoto had crashed. I used force quit to quit iPhoto and I think this was a mistake. Now, the photos I deleted are not showing up in iPhoto however I believe they are still taking up space in my hard drive. I use the WhatSize application and according to that app the photos I wanted to delete are still taking up space on my hard drive. How do I fix this problem and get that space back?

Problem deleting photos using ios7 on ipad 2

I updated my iPad 2 with no problems. I then went to the apple photo app, selected a photo which correctly put a checkmark on it, but the trash can icon stayed greyed out, making it impossible to delete that photo. selecting multiple photos results in the same problem. Please log this as a bug and fix.

Ok, more details.
1. When in the iOS 7 Photo app you tap Photo button in the bottom toolbar.
2. Then you tap Select in the top right Navbar
3. Then find a photo which is NOT in the Photo-stream and NOT in the Camera Roll. I have a bunch of these for some reason after updating to iOS 7. These photos will get a checkmark, but will not turn the trash can blue.
4. You can then select a photo that IS IN Photo-stream. It will also get a checkmark and the counter will display (2), and the trash can will turn Blue.
5. You can then tap the blue trash can. The Photo-stream selected photo gets deleted BUT the photo the selected photo that is NOT in Photo-stream and NOT in camera roll IS Still There!
I think the issue is that these photos that show under Photo but don't appear in the Camera Roll or Photo-Stream are "Orphans". So the real issue is how do I "adopt" them and get them into either the Camera Roll or zphto-strem? Still ths appears to be a bug that needs an Ape fix.

HT4236 Problem deleting photo albums from device - previously synced from PC

I am unable to delete synced photo albums from my device and do not know why. I have changed my settings when syncing to try and remove the photo albums but the albums are still on my iphone.
I cannot delete the albums manually on the device either.

You have to deselect the albums/folders/photos, under the photos tab in iTunes, then hit the "Apply" button to remove synced photos from your phone.

Problem deleting photos and cannot shut down or log out

I have managed to put a whole lot of photos on my desk top which I want to transfer to the trash can (over 5000). When I moved them to trash an error message "Item ....jpg is used by Mac OSX and cannot be opened" and you have to press OK. This is happening for every photo. It won't let me shut down or log out. I don't want to have to press OK 5000 times. Can anyone help?

Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
Good luck to you...

Deleting Photos from iPhone

How do I delete synced photos from my iPhone? I don't have any problems deleting photos from my camera roll, but the "Devices Downloaded Files" and "My Photos" Folders i can't delete from. I've gone into iTunes and unchecked "Sync Photos from", and it says it will remove the photos from the iPhone when it syncs again but it hasn't yet. Any thoughts?

One thing that might help out.
When you sync photos via itunes, it tries to make a mirror copy of the source.
So, if you are syncing photos from a folder, this might help.
When you add photos to the folder and sync the iphone, itunes copies the new photos to the iphone.
To remove synced photos from the iphone, remove them from the folder you are syncing from.
Then sync the iphone.
Hope this helps.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

Try here:
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
