Remove un-used photos from library

i have 68,000 photos in my library.
About HALF of them are not used in any album.
That is, after import, I have deleted half of the pictures from the albums.
iPhoto is very slow to respond.
I think it has to do with the large photo library.
Is there any way to delete the UN-USED photos in the iPhoto Library and only keep the ones that are contained in at least one Album??

You can make a smart album of photos not in an album, flag them, create a new event from flagged photos and delete teh photos form that event inbatches of 100 or so emptying the iPhoto trash after ever batch

In iPhoto select the picture you want to delete and then push the delete key. Then click on the iPhoto menu and click empty trash.

Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. Any third party recovery software I can use?

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

In iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

How do I time / date stamp photos from library

How can I print photos from library with a time / date stamp to use for legal purposes? Please help

All photos captured with the iPhone are date and time stamped, but not shown on the photo. Plus those metadata can be changed easily with modern photo editing software so it is not always admissible in court.
To post those to the pictures, you need a 3rd party app for that. Try the free Exifwizard app.

Can't use photos from photostream in mail, web an other applications

Isn't it possible any more to use photos from photostream to paste them in emails or web forms? I always took photos with my iPhone and then without syncing I used the photos for ebay on my macbook. Now, with mavericks, you can choose "photos" to paste them, but the photos of the photostream are not shown! Thanks for helping, FRED

Kari,
what is your MacOS X version and iPhoto version?
If you cannot delete photos from the iLifeAssetManagement folder, then you have a permissions problem. You should be able to do that. Try to fix the permissions for that part of your User Library.
Navigate again to the iLifeAssetManagement folder as described above. Then select the Folder and press ⌘I (clover leaf, capital letter I) for "Get Info". You shoud see an ifo panel like this:
Disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick by pressing the disclosure triangle. Press the padlock in the lower right corner and enter your administrator password. Make sure your user account .....(Me) has Rad &Write permissions, change the permissions if necessary. Then click the padlock and select to apply to enclosed items.
Then try again, if you now can delete photos from the Stream.
Regards
Léonie

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

Why does pressing the L key twice (to cycle through dimming modes) remove a selected photo from a collection?

That's my question, Why does pressing the L key twice (to cycle through dimming modes) remove a selected photo from a collection? Is my system the only computer that does this when I follow Adobe's directions to cycle through dimming modes by repeatedly hitting L? If not, how dumb is this?

Hi,
Check below things
---ManagerRendered attribute is transientAttr and type:Boolean
---${oa.viewInsatnce.ManagerRendered} ...paste in Readonly property of the item.
OARow detailsRow = (OARow)detailsVO.*first()*;
String position=(String)detailsRow.getAttribute("PositionCode");
String firstname=(String)detailsRow.getAttribute("FirstName");
System.out.println(firstname); The firstname is got from detailsRow correctly if I entered it on page.
if ((position == null) && ("PRESIDENT".equals(position)))
detailsRow.setAttribute("ManagerRendered", Boolean.FALSE);
else
detailsRow.setAttribute("ManagerRendered", Boolean.TRUE);

Removing photo from library

Hi!
Does anyone know when i delete a photo from my library, is it deleted everywhere else in iphoto? i am trying to make room for more photos and want to delete some from my library and didnt know if it removes the pics permanently to make more space for additional photos. thanks!

Thank you. and if a copy of the photo is in other albums/folders in iphoto, those will be deleted as well (i know you mentioned the HD) ?
I just came back from Mexico, and i have a bunch of similar photos in my camera and would rather compare them on screen and delete from there, rather than delete the better pic from my camera. i just didnt want all the duplicates to take up space...i wanted to delete them properly....

How to remove a duplicate photo from an album. Photo sweeper says there are no duplicates in photos

how can I remove duplicate photos from albums, I have removed 2000 duplicates from iphoto using photo sweeper. still duplicates in my album.

thanks, but in my albums trash is greyed out and hitting delete does nothing..
Is your album a smart album? You can only remove photos from smart albums by changing the smart rules for the album.
If I move the duplicate to another new album, can I then trash the new album?
It is still not clear, what duplicates you are asking about. Photos in albums are not duplicates. Albums are showing you the same photos you are seeing in your events, just grouped differently for easy access. You can delete any album completely and will still have the same photos in your iPhoto library.
If Photo sweeper says,"there are no duplicates", you probably really do not have duplicates in your iPhoto library.
You only have duplicates, if you are seeing identical photos twice in events, but not, if you you are seeing the same photo once in an album and once in an event. You can check that, by ctrl-clicking any photo in an album and selecting "Show Event". Then you will see, what the event is, that is containing this particular photo.

How can i remove all the photos from my iphone 5S that i synced from my computer

Hi All, my iPhone 5S is full of photos (1326) or so. however the camera roll is 827. there is an album named "My Photo Stream" which has 466 from My Computer and under it is "Shared" which has 12 from my computer. Can anybody help me to remove both these albums as there taking up a lot of space and I have tried everything to remove them!!!

On option is to open your my photo stream album in the thumnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then import them to your computer using your usb cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). A more convenient option is to use an app like PhotoSync, which will transfer all your photos from any album (including photo stream) to any of your devices (including your computer) over wifi by pressing a single button.

How to remove thousands of photos from ipad

Hi all,
When I was at vacation I imported about 7560 photos from my digital camera into the new iPad.
At home I imported all the photos from the ipad to Aperure and clicked "delete all the photos from the iPad".
Aperture really removed some photos (about 2 GBs from 45 GBs) and now shows me an "empty" iPad.
But the most of photos still are on the iPad. Aperture doesn't see any photos more, even after restarting.
Okay, then I tried iPhoto. iPhoto sees photos, but doesn't want to remove photos.
Then I tried my windows PC - it could remove a couple of photos but got an error after deleting multiple photos at once.
Then I tried Image Capture on my Mac - it removes about ten photos and then loses the ipad. Loses means it doesn't see the iPad under devices, even after restarting the app. After rejecting and reconnecting the iPad I can remove other 8 or 10 photos with Image Capture and it loses the iPad again.
Now, after about 2 hours I still have 6271 photos on the iPad.
Can some one help me to delete all the photos at once from my new iPad?
iPad 3rd gen WiFi + 4G, 64 GB, iOS 5.1.1
Macbook Pro 13" with OS X 10.7.4
Last versions of iPhoto and Aperture.
