Remove pics from trash in iphoto

Hi i have moved all my pics and albums to an external hard drive to free up some space, but they still remain(over 8000) in the trash in iphoto, not in the trash on applications, how can iremove these as it is still taking time when i click on iphoto to load up, which was the whole point to begin with.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Have you tried to empty the iPhoto Trash bin?
Note: iPhoto is known for crashing when trying to delete large numbers of photos at one time. But give it a try.

How did you do this?
Have you considered moving your iPhoto library to the EHD and running it from there? That way you could keep all of your photos in the library.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does 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.
Click to view full size
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.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash

Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

Remove dmg from Trash

I downloaded a Yosemite update a few days ago.
Nothing seemed to have happened, clicked again and then found I had downloaded two Combo dmgs.
It had been a long day, replacing a failed drive and restoring it's content.
I sent the 2nd download to trash and installed the first easily.
When I went to trash I found the 2nd dmg but was not allowed to delete it.
No big deal in itself, I suppose, but if anyone has a work around to remove this from Trash which would not unduly tax my few remaining grey cells, I would be delighted to here from them.
Kind regards.

Removing pics from Projects

Hi,
I just bought Aperture and have watched the tutorials on Lynda and Apple. I have a question that is probably very simple but the solution is alluding me.
For example: Say I started a project and called it, Friends. I put everything in it because I just bought a new camera and was playing around learning Aperture and the new cam. When the project started to get large I created more Projects and Albums within them. I know I can remove pics from the albums but how do I do it from the Project folder? When I try it removes them permanently. So now in my Friends Project I have 133 pics of everything I took but only two albums counting about 50 pics total.
I hope that makes sense!
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I am sorry but I do not really understand your specific question.
Visualize it this way:
Image files live in Projects. An Album is a virtual grouping of "pointers" to images that live in various Projects. There are no actual image files in an Album, just pointers.
You can move images from one Project to another Project; also you can copy an image from one Project to another Project. You can make all kinds of Albums for all kinds of reasons at very low overhead; Albums are a powerful concept.
I like the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual. The time spent learning modern digital image capture workflow via the tutorial is invaluable.

How to get pics from iphone to iphoto library on hard drive

Hi there. I saved my photo library to an EHD. I pointed iphoto to open the library from EHD. Normally when I connect my iphone to my macbook pro, iphoto just pops up asking to import the pics from my phone. But now it doesn't do that and it doesn't show my phone on the left pane of i photo. How do I get my pics and videos from my iphone into the iphoto library i saved on my ehd? Thanks!

Greetings,
Make sure your external hard drive is Mac formated and has a reasonable amount of space available.
--- Side note: If you haven't already, you should tell TimeMachine to backup that external hard drive as Time Machine only backs up your internal hard drive by default.
Try:
1. Install all software updates for both your computer and your iPhone and turn both on and off and re-plug the cable between them.
2. Try importing your pictures and movies using Image Capture found in Macintosh HD > Applications.
-- If Image Capture sees your iPhone when iPhoto does not, try creating a new iPhoto library on your internal drive to see if that library can see your iPhone. This is done by launching iPhoto while holding down the option key.
If those steps do not help, follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
Cheers.

Downloading pics from camera to iphoto

i down loaded pics from my camera [canon 500]and every thing performed correctly-the #of photos appeared,the pics displayed as they downloaded,i clicked the import button,but when the pics were thru importing they failed to appear in iphoto...
i must have clicked some button by mistake and now the pics are somewhere in my imac...
how can i retrieve them [if they are in my imac]?

barneyetengoff:
Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to recommend what I think is a safer way to upload photos from a camera to the HD and then into iPhoto.
I use a card reader and upload to a folder on the desktop. I name the folder with the date of the shoot and a brief description like: 12/25/06-Xmas Day Dinner. I then rename the files with R-Name so that they are uniquely identified. This prevents getting the same file name on multiple photos if the camera resets itself back to 1 each time after reformatting the card.
I then import that folder into iPhoto which gives me a roll with the same name as the folder. Once I'm sure the photos have been safely imported I delete the folder from the desktop. I then use the camera to reformat the card for the next shoot.
More work, yes, but it insures safe transfer to iPhoto.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Moving pics from folder to iPhoto?

Since my drag and drop is not working can I move pics from a folder to iPhoto without it? I have managed to navigate to iPhoto for uploading pics on eBay or Craigslist, but I have to have them in iPhoto first as I can't seem to navigate to folders I have on the desktop. I usually just drag pics from folders to the desktop for uploading as that seems to be the easiest method without massive navigation skills. lol Or must I just take pics again? I deleted them from my camera for more room after importing them to folders.

I'm happy that worked for you!
And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

HT4910 how do you remove pics from my ipad that are not in camera roll?

I have a couple thousand pics on my ipad that I put on from my laptop a long time ago. they are not on the camera roll. I can delete those but can't figure out haw to remove the rest. I updated I tunes and can't find were it shows the files on my device. can anyone help?

If you want to remove all of your synced photos .....
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right or in the left sidebar, if you have the sidebar enabled.
Click on Photos at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
Uncheck the "Sync Photos From" heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
IF that doesn't work, create an empty folder on your desktop and call it "Empty Folder". Select that folder in the "Sync Photos From" heading in the photos tab of iTunes and then click on Apply. That will also remove all synced photos.

Remove album from trash

I found an album [Project] of pics in the Trash [not sure why] and want to move it back to projects - can't seem to do it by click-drag, can't copy and export or do anything. How do I move things out of the Trash?

Can you:
- Select the item in the Trash as shown in the Library Inspector?
- Right-click the selected item
- Select "Put Back"? from the context-sensitive menu that pops up?
Albums and Projects are distinct types of containers in Aperture. Which is it?
(OT: You are listing that you have 17 GB of RAM. This is, afaik, unusual. Is it correct?)

How do I remove my image from my iChat conversations?

HI,
With the Chat window as the "Front" Window go to the View Menu > Messages and Chose something that does not include the Pictures (Names and Pictures is popular if not the actual default)
This will also remove Buddy pics.
If you wish to have nothing for yourself you have to put a blank pic in the Buddy Pic spot.
If you click and hold the current Buddy pic it is a drop down for Recent pics and a way to set a new pic.

Can no longer automatically load pics from camera to iPhoto

I am running iPhoto 5.0.4 and I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. Until recently I merely had to plug my camera into the computer using the USB connection to load pics. Now when I do it, iPhoto does not launch and better still, the keyboard and mouse ceases to function. Nothing shows on the system profiler as being connected. Camera (on PTP) or computer?

Hi there,
I think what you're describing is due to the camera not your computer or it could be a bad slot on your computer, you can check this quickly by plugging in your mouse directly into one of the free USB ports and see if the same issues occur, if so, then it's your computer's hardware. Otherwise you could have a bad USB cable on the camera...
