Removing Photos Not Used in Albums from Library

Is there a way to filter out the pictures (within the Library) not being used in any of the albums and mark them for deletion? Is this something that either iPhote 6 or that another application might address?

Hi dudestar,
Make a smart album whose conditions are
"album" "is not" "any"
this should give you a smart album of all unassigned images.
You can then use Command Option Delete to delete them from that folder and the library. Then you must empty iPhoto's trash and they will be deleted from the hard drive.

  • Finding all photos not in any album

    Hello,
    I am a user of PE10.
    I imported about 7000 photographs and am organizing them into albums. To ensure I assign all photos to at least one album I would like to display all unassigned photos, i.e. photos not in any album yet, so that I can assign the to albums.
    Right now I have to click "Show All" and scroll through 7000 pictures to find ones I have not assigned yet :-( very tedious.
    Is there anyway to show only unassigned pgotographs?
    TIA,
    Herman

      In thumbnail view click Show All or launch the Organizer from scratch.
    Then click the Find menu and choose the criteria you need.

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

  • I am making my first keynote presentation.  I transferred the slides from a power point.  I did not use a 'theme' from keynote.  Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu.  What have I done wrong

    I am making my first keynote presentation.  I transferred the slides from a power point.  I did not use a 'theme' from keynote.  Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu.  What have I done wrong

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • Can I delete ALL photo's not used in Albums?

    Hi,
    So, my iPhoto Library has become too big to manage. about 40 gigs. My albums are filled with my selected photos. Is there I way I can delete everything else, not used in an album? Do I have to click on the photo tab and delete manually?
    I hate to burn all the albums, delete everything, then re-import.
    Anyone use Media 100 Editing software? There is a great feature that allows you to remove all media not being used in a bin or project. I'm wondering if there is something similar in iPhoto.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks
    Ethan-

    Try creating a smart album with the following criteria: *+Album is not any+*. Then apply a new keyword to those photos in the smart album.
    Next check your other albums to see if that keyword appears in any of them. If not then you can be assured that deleting the photos in the smart album will leave only those in the other album. Of course to be on the safe side backup you library before deleting the photos.
    Also don't delete more than about 100 photos at a time. iPhoto has a know disposition to choke when trying to delete large number of photos at one time.

  • Photos not viewing in album

    First of all iphoto has worked fine so far, I am pleased with it. However I created photo albums with photos from my library, but when i open the albums the photos are only showing in the thumnail above the albums with the page mumbers. They are not showing on the actual album pages, I tried dragging onto the album page, but they just go back to thumbnail. I have added pages, use autoflow to assemble my albums. I checked all 113 pages of disucssion site, found a few related problems to mine, but found that they are using iphoto 4 and I have 5, therefore I am afraid to experiment with thier resolves, soas not to delete and loose my potos altogether. I have deleted some from Library, before I discovered the problem. I am just wandering as to where they might be and how can i view them in the album? Can you Help!

  • How to import photos into Folders or Albums from backuped CD-R

    I need you advice.
    I made folders of photos in CD-R when I backuped. I would like to import them into each folders and album I made in i photo newly from the folders on CD-R. Even though I select "Add library" under "File" and drag& drop and copy from Finder window/ CD-R window, all are just imported into Library.
    Many thanks,
    Mac

    Hi Mac Ito,
    Here is something I typed out a couple of days ago for a response to another person. It might help you also.
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • Photo app on ipad randomly switches to photos not in the album

    I added a new album of photos from my pc to my itunes to use as a slideshow to showcase specific photots. It is the oddest thing, part way through the slideshow it will randomly pull photos not included in the album and show them in the slideshow. Has anyone else encountered this or know why the ipad photo app might be doing this?

    Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best.  Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself.  A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network.  Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

  • Moving album from library onto Ipod

    Hi,
    I just downloaded an album from a CD into my music library. Now I want to move it onto my Ipod. *I don't want to use SYNCH* because I have music on the Ipod that is not in my library and my understanding is that this will erase the music from the Ipod that is not also in the library. In past versions of Itunes, I always used to just grab the album with a the mouse and pull it over to to the left of the screen (where the Ipod is listed as the music device when it is attached to the computer) and just drop it into the Ipod by releasing the mouse with the cursor over it. But on this version of Itunes, that does not seem to work. Did they change Itunes? Is ther any way to do this on the current version? If not, should I donwload an older version of Itunes? Where can I get that and what is the version called?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Glad someone else has noticed this problem (and it IS a problem).
    I think it's been happening ever since they brought in iTunes version 9, as far as I can remember it worked perfectly well before that.
    I like to manage my songs manually, and it was just so much easier to drag an album image with the cursor to my ipod. Now it will only let me grab every 6th or 7th album cover, or so, which is useless, as far as I'm concerned!
    I've put in a request to Apple to change this back to the way it was, but if nobody is going to complain, apart from me, then I don't suppose it will get done.
    Funnily enough, the last time I added a CD, a couple of days ago, it actually worked like it used to. I could actually flick through the artwork in cover flow without it jumping about 6 or 7 covers, and it actually let me grab at each albums artwork, which meant I could add what album I liked without having to highlight each song individually before dragging them to my ipod.
    I don't know why it did this, as it hasn't worked properly since the last version of iTunes 8. It's back to it's _+"bad old self"+_ today, I've noticed!
    I haven't got a clue what's going on!
    Maybe it is supposed to work as it did, but there is now a "glitch" in the software that prevents it from doing so (although they've updated iTunes 9 a few times now, and it hasn't "repaired" it).
    There is one way around this, I have just found out today. If you go to the menu, and click on "view", then change the setting from *"cover flow"*, to "list", then look below that you'll see a *"show artwork column"* setting.
    If you click on that, the artwork for each album is shown in a column to the left of the list. From what I've seen, you can then still drag each album from the cover art to your ipod, and it takes all the songs in the album, rather than having to highlight them all individually.
    It's not really a fix, as I would like, but it does mean less hassle when trying to transfer songs!

  • Permanently deleting pics not used in albums

    Hello. I have thousands of photos and videos in iPhoto. The ones I wanted to keep have all been organised into various albums (normal ones).
    Without exporting every album and wiping the library and reimporting, is there a way to delete unused pics? I have tried creating a smart folder with the rule of having pics that aren't used in an album but it seems to come up with pics that ARE used in albums and pics that aren't used don't seem to be there.
    Help! Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried a Smart Album with the rule: "Album - Is not - Any"?
    That works for me in iPhoto 9.5.1.
    Alternately, you could clear all flags, and then open each album in turn and flag all photos that are in the album, leaving only unused photos unflagged.
    Then delete all unflagged photos.

  • ICloud photos not showing in my iPhoto library

    I'm really having trouble understanding the relationship among iPhoto, iCloud, and Photo Streams.  I want to have all my photos show up in my iPhoto library.  They always did.  However, a few weeks ago (while traveling and adding a lot of photos), I began to not see all my photos in my library.  In fact, when I look at "Events" there are greyed out boxes that have the date photos were taken, it indicates that there are 0 photos, and there is a shades-of-grey icon that has a palm tree and horizon.  I had never seen this before.  Some of my photos from my travel ended up in my library just fine.  Others are in limbo.  I found the others in My Photo Stream, but I can't figure out how to add them to the library, where they belong.
    When I show Package Contents from Home>Pictures>iPhoto Library, all the pictures are there.  They are just not showing up in iPhoto.  I have quit and restarted iPhoto.  Do you think my iPhoto app is corrupt?
    Any suggestions would be welcome.  This is vexing...

    Hold down Command and Option, and launch iPhoto. A Photo Library First Aid window will appear. In this window you’ll see a number of repair options. Start with Rebuild Thumbnails and give it a try. Check iPhoto after you’ve done this to see how it behaves. If it’s not showing all your photos, give the next option in the Rebuild window a try. Rinse and repeat until iPhoto is working properly.
    Make sure you have a backup of your Library as a precaution.
