Problems with Delete Rejected Photos

I hope this hasn't been addressed earlier. I checked as far back as I had patience.
I recently upgraded to a new Vista 64bit system. LR 64bit seems to "Not Respond" after I use the "delete rejected photos". Both instances the photos were deleted but LR Library siezed. On the first occaision I deleted around 40 photos the secont time was 300+ photos. Any ideas or information welcome.
Thanks
Jim

I'm banging myself on the head, 11,400+ items, 39.2gb. I knew that, just forgot to think of it. Just copied/moved much data between four drives. Thanks

  • Problems with deleted blank photos in library

    A couple of weeks ago I took around 60 images, downloaded them from my camera within the programme as I have with the thousands of others I have previously done. Then I went through and deleted the weaker shots from the library, both raw and jpeg. After I had finished I went to the trash to delete and my computer froze and did not complete the function. When I restarted, all the photos I had deleted were blank white outlined squares in my library that take ages to scroll past and give me a rainbow waiting icon.
    I have sinced tried multiple times to delete, but they always crash my iPhoto.
    They were not categorised into an album yet, and I have backed up my photos! I have just had a couple of big shoots and have a whole bunch more photos to add to iPhoto but I am weary of doing so until these blank spaces are fixed! They slow down the scrolling of my library a hundred times over.
    Everything else in the library is working well.
    I can delete them from my library, but when I go to delete them from the trash, the system crashes and when I restart they are back in my library again!
    Any ideas?? Would really appreciate knowledge on this subject. It has me stumped!

    How about putting all the images (from the trash) back in the library. Then put one in the trash and see if you can empty it. If that doesn't work then the only option I can think of is to create anew library and import your images from the old library. Hopefully iPhoto will not import those ghost images in the trash.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • I no longer get the dialog box when trying to delete rejected photos.

    I have always used the Delete Rejected Photos. . . selection to get rid of the photos I have flagged as rejected. However, after the rejected photos are shown, the dialog box no longer appears with the option to Delete from Disc or to Remove from the LR Catalog. I don't know if this problem began with LR 3.4 or before, but the timing was close. It isn't that I don't know how to use the function because I have been using it for years. Any help would be appreciated.

    Since I had 358 photos out of almost 2800 flagged as 'rejected' I did not
    want to loose all my work. I selected the rejected photos and then flagged
    them all with a 'yellow' color. I then displayed all photos with a yellow
    flag and 'Un-rejected' them. I highlighted a small amount of them, about 30,
    and rejected them and then went to the Delete Rejected photos. the pop-up
    came up and I was able to delete them. Since the rest of my yellow flagged
    photos were still showing I rejected another chunk of them and so on till
    they were all deleted. When trying to delete a group that had published
    photos within I got a box warning me that if I deleted them the published
    ones could no longer be managed by LR. That is alright with me. It would be
    nice if the software would somehow flag those that had been published. All
    the dialog box said was that one or more of the group had been published. I
    did not know which.
    Thanks again for expert help!

  • Problem with corrupted iPhone photo albums

    I have a problem with my iPhone "Photos" app.
    When I open it is see hundreds of "ghost" albums in the Albums tab.
    I have tried to turn off syncing photos in iTunes and then turn it back on again, and so deleting all albums and photos and then re-applying- but no luck.  I also tried to sync with an empty folder on my Mac instead of the iPhoto library, but this still does not delete the albums.
    Anyone know how to nuke the photos on an iPhone and start from scratch WITHOUT having to restore the iPhone to its factory state?

    Here is what I see when I go to delete some of the rogue albums:
    I could keep doing this but there are probably 300-400 of them!!!!!

  • Can't 'Delete Rejected Photos' (since Lightroom 5.6?) - just removes from catalog, not disk

    I use Lightroom 5 (64-bit) on Windows. Recently (possibly since the 5.6 upgrade?) I can't delete rejected photos from the catalog. Instead of asking if I want to delete from the disk or just the catalog or cancel, like it used to, it now asks if I want to remove from the catalog or cancel. The files are left on disk. This happens if I Ctrl-Backspace or choose the Photo > Delete Rejected Photos menu.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions please? My daughter borrows my camera so I delete a LOT of pictures - without this option I don't have a quick way to do that.
    - cheers, Barney

    I had a similar problem, and here is what I think is happening.
    It depends on how you are viewing your pictures.  If you are viewing a collection, Delete Rejected Photos will only remove them from the collection.  There is no prompt to remove the files from the hard drive.  Instead, you need to view the entire catalog (All Photographs).  This time when you selected Delete Rejected Photos, there is a prompt asking if you want to remove the files completely from hard disk.
    I have recently switched from Bridge to Lightroom, and I'm used to organizing and sorting my photos by directory.  This is another adjustment I need to make in my normal workflow.

  • Internal Error when trying to delete rejected photos

    This problem started yesterday after I moved some of my library to an external hard drive.  I created a new catalog and moved the photos within lightroom.  I don't know if the move of photos caused the error or not.  Now whenever I try to delete rejected photos, I get the following error message:
    Database "/Users/mollynordin/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat": PreviewDataObservers_DevSettingsDeletions.devSettingsDigest may not be NULL
      Statement: DELETE FROM Adobe_imageDevelopSettings WHERE id_local = ?;

    I cannot delete any photos even if they are not rejected.

  • Have a problem with deletting a folder that has lots over 100+ folders in it that are locked, please help

    Have a problem with deletting a folder that has 100+'s folders in it that are locked. Please help.

    Put the folder into the trash - go to the Finder menu and hold down the alt key whilst selecting Empty Trash.
    I've never tried this with a folder full of locked files, but it certainly works with a single locked file.
    Hope that helps!

  • Aperture2.0 and iweb08 - problems with size of photos

    Just got a new Imac and Aperture2 and I have my first problem. Hopefully I can explain this without sounding confusing. I have 10 photos in album "A" in Aperture. The photos are 'web ready' .jpg at 500 pixels by 500 pixels and 72 dpi. When i make an album page in iweb08 and use the media window to bring in my 'aperture album' the photos come into iweb much smaller then there original size, maybe 200 pixels by 200 pixels - I cant resize the images or if I can, there way distorted.
    Here's the tricky part.
    When I created an album in iphoto08 and placed the SAME photos in it and add it (using the media window, same step as above) into iweb - all the photos display correctly.
    So.
    What could be the problem with aperture and iweb?? Thanks for any help.
    and I have all the lastest updates including the new Aperture2.01
    Message was edited by: mezzo17

    I tried that (switching the preview resolution from 1/2 to no limit) and it didn't work.
    but then
    I deleted the entire project folder, with the albums etc. and decided to start from scratch.
    With the settings (as you guys suggested) prior to creating my folders and projects
    and just created the project folder again, created a new album folder and imported the images again.
    and then it worked just fine.
    I guess switching the preview quality while the folders 'existed' wasn't updating somewhere.
    Sounds buggy.
    Anyways. Its working now.
    I haven't gotten the .mac side of my new web working yet but you can check out the old site

  • I'm getting an error message when I try to delete rejected photos!

    When I use the filter for selecting the flagged 'rejected' photos and press Cmd+delete, and then "delete from disk," as I have done many many times in the past, It is suddenly telling me that my files cannot be moved to the Trash folder. I just updated today from Lightroom 1.3 to 1.4.1, but this was happening over this past week, before the update. I'm on a MacBook Pro, using Leopard 10.5.2. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

    I could delete a couple of images through finder, yes...and then they'd delete from Lightroom. The workaround I found is to create a subfolder containing the deleted images in Lightroom, and then delete that folder from the finder. It's not quite right, but it works for now. I wonder if the trouble has something to do with the location of the images? Not sure. I was able to delete some other images within Lightroom successfully, but I can't figure out yet what these have in common that are different! I'll keep working on it...

  • Problems with Editing my photos - using Elements 7

    When I click on a photo to go to full edit, my computer freezes up and I end up having to close the program. It used to work just fine. My computer guy worked the memory of my computer, but it seems to be a problem with this program. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  7.0\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Trouble deleting rejected photos

    I am cleaning up an old catalogue and marked a number of photos for rejecting.  I get the following error message together with a scrollable list of the rejected photos:
    "the files are on a volume that does not support Trash, would you like to permanently delete them?"
    Nothing happened when I selected the permanently delete button.  
    This was not consistent behavrior, one time the rejected photos were deleted on persisting.
    This is an old catalogue and the files are on a different internal drive from the cataloge, note that I DID move them within Lightroom and nothing seems wrong with the thumbnail, i.e. the correct path is displayed and there is no question mark, etc.
    Any suggestions or explanations are appreciated.  I really want to delete my subpar photos!

    Hello,
    no solution but a work around.
    Create a filter for all rejected images an move these images a different, drive / partion with a trashcan. Then remove the images.

  • Problems with re-naming photo files

    Hi there, could anyone please give me some advice on a problem I am having with re-naming photos?
    I have scanned over 2000 photos onto my mac. I scanned a batch of a couple of hundred at a time, and as I went along I would copy each batch into iphoto and then trashed them off the hard-drive (with hindsight I'm not entirely sure why I did that!). I am now trying to back them all up on to an external hard drive and have run into problems. The file names they saved as are for example img001, because of the number of photos I scanned I have about five photos in iphoto all with the same file name, and when I drag them onto the hard drive to copy them I am of course getting the message pop up that says I already have a file of that name on the hard drive and do I want to replace it, which of course I don't.
    So...... I went through all the photos and renamed them so they were all different. However, although they show with new titles, when I click on "Show Extended Photo Info" in the Photos menu, the file name shows as the original one it was scanned as. I have then tried right clicking the photo and going to "Show file", and have renamed the photo there. However it still shows the same file name back in the extended photo info, and when I try to copy it on to my hard drive I get an error message saying "The items on the Clipboard cannot be pasted to this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available".
    This is driving me insane!!! Please can someone help me!?

    several things most of which have to do with what iPhoto is and how it works
    iPhoto is a database program and you must not every make any changes to the contents or structure of the database (the files) except using iPhoto - never via the finder or other programs
    as a database you never use the internal structure but use the database tools to access the photos
    The only way to backup up the database is to copy it intact as a single entity to a different drive - you can not back it up in pieces
    To backup the photos or move them to a different machine you export them from the database (file menu ==> export) and one of the options at that time is to assign new file names
    when I drag them onto the hard drive to copy them I am of course getting the message pop up that says I already have a file of that name on the hard drive
    So now that you understand how iPhoto works you see that there is a simple solution to this - simply export the photos and use the rename option in the export to assign sequential names to them
    I went through all the photos and renamed them so they were all different
    If you did this by typing a new title below the photo then you simply export using the use title as file name option
    I have then tried right clicking the photo and going to "Show file", and have renamed the photo there
    This is using the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library and will corrupt your library and make it unusable - to use it you will have to restore it as it was - your backup is the easiest
