Simple question - moving flagged photos to the trash

Hello all,
I can't seem to figure out what should be a simple problem. When looking through my pictures, and flagging those I want to move to the trash, I can't. I go to flagged photo's, and the delete key just unflags them. I can't drag them to the trash folder, nor can I do a menu choice for the trash.
Whats the best way to handle this? (iphoto 09, by the way)

Hello.
Here is a step by step to produce what I'm seeing
1) Under last import, flag a badly blurred photo, or whatever.
2) Go to the flagged folder. Select the flagged photo, and drag it to the iphoto trash icon. Photo vanishes from flagged folder.
3) go back to last import, or the event where the photo lives. And photo is still there - dragging to the iphoto trash icon merely clears the flag.
What does work
1) Go through photo's, flagging some for deletion, editing others, etc. Finish up.
2) go to flagged photo's folder. Highlight all.
3) Go back to photos stream.
4) find one of the photos. Hold down the shift key, click on photo, drag it to the iphoto trash icon. Notice that iphoto is telling you it grabbed more than one photo (it grabbed all photos that were selected in the flagged photo - which is what we want). It deletes all the photos.
Thats a bit of a pain.
What I want to happen
Flag a bunch of photos in my library.
Go the flagged folder.
Select all the photos in the flagged folder.
Move said photo's to the iphoto trash icon, getting rid of them.
Any way to do this?
Thanks
Richard

  • Move flagged photos to the trash?

    Is there a way to move my flagged photos to the trash? I do not want them unflagged... I want them permanently gone from my library. Everytime I Command-A and move them to trash, it just unflags them and they're still in my library.
    Please help?
    /Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post!

    One easy way is to use the create new event form flagged photos command and then drag the new event to the iPhtoo trash and empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash

  • Help! I put every photo in the trash and now they are unorganized

    I put every photo in the trash and was not able to restore them to their original position.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc. Plus, I had photos saved outside of iphoto and imported in to iphoto. Now iPhoto is full of empty squares.
    What is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
    Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half. Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake? Should I just re-import using my back up as an intial state?
    Please advise!
    I appreciate the help as my sanity is in question,
    Sara

    Restore your backup from before you made this user error
    Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half.
    Very unfortuant and a really bad decision and a hard way to learn the critical nature of always haveing a current backup - Time Machine is included with every Mac - if you run it you always have hourly backups to go back to
    Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake?
    No
    If your Masters folder is intact you can start over from scratch and get the event structure you had - drag the Masters folder to the desktop, start a new iPhoto library and drag each folder from the Masters folder to the open iPhoto window - this will recreate the events you had
    and maybe if you provided some details about what you have and exactly how you recovered your photos theree is more that can be done
    .Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc
    Gives no clue about what you did or how you did it
    and knowing the version of iPhoto and of the OS is good information for us too

  • How do I delete photos in the trash can?

    I have A LOT of photos in my iphoto trash can that i would like to delete permanently. How do I go about doing that?

    Which trash can? The one in iPhoto? If that's the one you're referring to go to to the iPhoto menu and select the "Empty Trash" option.
    Be warned that other users have had trouble with iPhoto crashing when they tried to delete a large number of photos from the trash at once. I suggest you follow the tip at the bottom of my post before trying to empty the trash. I'd also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine, before emptying the trash. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Just to make sure all is set properly.
    If iPhoto does crash you'll have to move them back to the library and try deleting in smaller numbers, 50 or so.
    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.

    Have you tried to normal way. Highlight the photo in the Trash/Right Click: Put Back.  Or just drag it back into Events.

  • I accidently put a photo in the trash on my iphone 4s.  How can I retrieve it?

    i accidently put a photo in the trash on my iphone 4s.  How do I retrieve it and take it out of the trash?

    There's no "trash can" on any iOS device. If not backed up, your photo is most likely gone. There are third-party iOS data recovery programs available that claim to be able to retrieve deleted data like this. You can use Google to search for them. None are cheap & I have no experience with any, thus cannot recommend any.

  • Can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving a free iphone 4 or 4s bumper away is there any truth to that?

    can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving away iphone 4 or 4s bumpers is there any truth to that?

    Not any more, no. There was a free bumper program back when the iPhone 4 originally came out. It has long since expired.

  • Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

    Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

    Which trash is empty? If it's the iPhoto trash, check the System Trash, as files deleted from iPhoto 11 go there. Assuming that's also empty then you have exactly two options:
    1. Restore from your back up
    or
    2. Use a file recovery app such as File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

    Hi there,
    While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
    Additional info:
    The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
    The photos are also on my iCloud account
    Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
    Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
    In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

    There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want.  The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
    I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad  if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
    iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac.    It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
    If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
    You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos.  Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing.  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
    I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.

  • Iphoto keeps moving photos to the Trash

    I installed the latest version of Iphoto 11...When I initially installed it a large portion of my photos were moved to the trash...I have moved them back multiple times but everytime I shut Iphoto down it puts them back in the trash...Very frustrating...
    Any help would be appreciated

    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 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.

  • Project photos in the trash

    In the course of using iPhoto, I acquired duplicate photos. I spent time cleaning those out; however, the copies that I've moved to the trash were used in several projects. Now when I empty the trash, the projects get messed up: no pictures.
    I've got about 4,000 pictures in the trash. Of those there are roughly 100 or so that are impacting the projects. Is there some automated way to determine which pictures should be "restore[d] to iPhoto Library"? And if I find the offending photos, then how can I check for duplicates in the library?
    Ultimately, if I have 2 copies of a given photo where one is in the trash (and used in a project) and the second is in the library, I want to swap those photos so my projects remain intact.
    Thanks for any help.
    Jeff

    Jeff
    iPhoto will never delete 4000 photos at a go. It will crash. SO no matter what you want you’re going to need to put them all back in the Library and delete them in increments of 100 or so.
    Many folks speak highly of Duplicate Annihilator for dealing with duplicates.

  • My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin.  Originally, I thought it was due to 800  files in the trash, however, I removed ALL but 5 photos from the trash and it continues to lock up.

    My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin. 
    Originally, I thought it was due to 800+ files in the trash, however, I removed all but 5 photo files from the trash and it continues to lock up.  Inititally the "progress" bar would get to about 1/2 way and then it would stop and stall.  However, now the progress bar no longer shows a progress line it immediately freezes and locks up. Can anyone help? 

    You may have damaged the library - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • In the new Photos app how do you send a photo to the trash?

    The old "move to trash" facility in iPhoto is missing from Photos. How do you trash a photo from the library?

    It appears that All Photos is fixed at Keep Sorted by Date Added.  I have 6450 photos.
    But when I open the side bar and do a right click on iPhoto Events where I have 480 albums I get option to sort them by Name
