When i delete photos, they do not dissapear

I have been deleting photos in iPhoto to create more hard drive space, and they are still showing up as blank photo space instead of completely going away.
Any suggestions on how to delet completely?
thank you!

Sounds like your Library is corrupted.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    hi can I have a reply to above question: I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    In the documents screen - sorry, new to this so not sure if that's the right terminology... Basically the screen showing all documents, if you drag down, there should be two options at the of of the page: Date and Name. Select Name and your list should now be in alphabetic order.
    Hope that helps.

  • On my iMac, when I delete emails, they do not show up in the Trash and they reappear in my Inbox.

    If I drag emails from my Inbox to the Trash, they do not appear in either Trash subfolder—On My Mac or iCloud. And they reappear in my Inbox. Also, while I still receive new mail on my iPhone and my iPad, the new messages have not been showing up on my iMac Mail for about a week. My account  is iCloud IMAP.

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • Why is it when I delete photos they seem to still stream to icloud, Why is it when I delete photos they seem to still stream to icloud, Why is it when I delete photos they seem to still stream to icloud

    I have delted photos and they are still streaming to all my devices.  How do I stop this from happening??

    You can turn off photo stream on all of your devices or go to http://icloud.com and go to settings and click advanced and reset photo stream which will just delete all the photos that you have streamed

  • Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

    Hi all.  Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match.  I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream.  Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought).  But it was not there.  In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos.  Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll.  I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review.  I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll.  I edited the photo.  I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll.  So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning.  The edited version of the photo was gone.  Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp.  Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
    PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED!   This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups.   So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011)  and backed up my photos.  I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos.  I have it set to Download and Keep Originals.  It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
    WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied.  At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network.  I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
    Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos.  I am extremely confused.  This is a mess.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated! 

    I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • How do I delete photos in iPad not currently in ITunes?

    I'm doing this for wife who has iPad, (1st gen; not new iPad 2). When she got it she wanted, "her photos," from her computer in her iPad. Happy to accomodate, I managed to load all 3,000 photos from her Nikon Picture Project software into her iPad. Now she does not want that many and I've been trying for a month to delete all of them. They are not in iTunes or I'd uncheck them there and re-synch, which, I'm told would wipe them out.
    I simply don't know how to delete them.
    Can anyone help? Thanks,
    Dennis

    HERE IS THE ANSWER: Use your Mac computer and open the "Preview" application. 1. Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone).
    2. Open the application named "Preview" on your Mac (Click on the Macintosh HD icon or open the Finder application and search for the application named "Preview," then click on the application to open it. Or look under Macintosh HD > Applications > Preview.)
    2. In the Preview application toward the very top of your screen, click File > Import From Camera (then click on the name of your iPad or iPhone)...
    3. Near the lower left corner of the Preview application, click on the icon with the four tiny squares. That will give you a better view of all of your pictures.
    4. Select the pictures you want to delete.
    5. Click on the red delete icon at the bottom of the screen. (Looks like a red circle with a slash through it.) That will delete the pictures. 
    This works for iPhone, but not iPad.  No pictures show up in preview as they do with iPhone.
    BTW, Command/Click, as usual, allows multiple photo selections and then click Delte button to delete many photos. 
    Too bad this doesn't work for iPad.

  • When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
    It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
