Where do deleted photos go?

When photos are they sent to their own special trash bin in addition to the regular trash bin? Ive read somewhere that when you deleted a photo it goes to a particular bin for photos and not to the regular trash can.
Thanks

There is neither a "special" nor a "regular" trash can on an iOS device. Deleted photos are removed from the device. They are gone. Unless you backed them up somewhere, they no longer exist.

  • I'm finding Ios7 exceeding frustrating having to spend hours reinstalling and looking for last data. For example I cannot delete photos I have synced, applications are missing. Where can I get clear instructions to fix the mess?

    Where can I get clear instructions to clean up a mess that Ios7 has made of my data and info on my iPad. I can't delete photos, apps are missing, it's crazy and so frustrating. I have spent hours on this.

    How did the photos get onto your iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - instead they are deleted by not including them in your next photo sync from your computer's iTunes.
    For your apps, as long as they are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you had backed up to your computer's iTunes before starting the update then you could redownload them to your computer's iTunes and then retry restoring to your backup and see if that copies the apps and their content back (the actual apps aren't included in a backup, just their content/settings, so for a restore to work fully you need to have the relevant apps in the Apps part of your library).

  • Where is trash can for deleting photos on ipad

    my husband and I bought ipads and he has a trash can to delete photos and I do not.  His is 32  and mine is  a 64.  How do I see my trash can?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

  • Where do I find instructions for simple iCloud operations like deleting photos I've uploaded to iCloud by mistake?

    Where can instructions for simple operations in iCloud be found? I uploaded a whole bunch of photos unselectively. I'd like to delete them and start over.

    The knowledge base articles for iCloud are a bit scattered.  There's a pretty good help site here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd0558ce3.  Thre's also a support site here with links to articles: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.
    To answer your specific question, if you want to delete photo stream photos, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.  (Unfortunately, there is no "select all" option.)

  • Deleting photos out of camera roll leaves black spaces where pics used to b

    Only happens on my iPhone 4. 3GS with os4 it doesn't.
    Any ideas
    For info they do disappear if u sync in iTunes.

    You don't have to sync it or turn your phone off to get it to go away (one of which is annoying and the other is inconvenient). All you do is go back out of the camera roll, close the app, then open the multitask tray and delete Photos or Camera (you know by holding until they jiggle) and when you go back in to the apps, they are fixed.

  • Since updating I no longer have the ability to delete photos individually or as a folder where has the trash can gone

    Since I updated can not delete photos from camera rolls the option to delete photos one by one has also vanished how do I delete now to make more room

    In thumbnail view in the Camera Roll album you should have a Select button at the top right of the screen which will allow you to select photos to delete, and tapping the trashcan icon bottom right should delete them. In full-screen you should still have the Edit button bottom right of the screen

  • Where is the trash icon to delete photos?

    The just-published iPad Portable Genius book by Paul McFedries clearly states: To delete a photo, follow these steps: 1. Tap Photos in the Home screen. The Photo app appears. 2. Locate the Image you want to blow away. For example, if you know the photo is part of a particular event, open that event stack. 3. Tap the doomed photo. The Photos app opens the photo. 4. Tap the screen to reveal the controls. 5. Tape the Delete button (the trash can icon). The Photos app asks you to confirm the deletion. 6. Tap Delete Photo. The Photos app tosses the photo into the trash, wipes its hands, and returns you to the photos.
    My problem is that the trash icon doesn't appear on the screen! It appeared one time a few days ago, so perhaps a downloaded app is causing the glitch. Any ideas, anyone? Thank you so much.

    Photos created on the iPad or detached from emails (for example) can be deleted via a trashcan icon. But photos synced from iTunes have to be deleted from the synced albums (and not directly from the pad)

  • Where do you find deleted Photos when they are not in the Trash?

    I deleted my photos from the Album which meant deleting them completely. How can I restore them? Can't find them in the Trash

    Here's how to delete photos from different parts of an iPhoto Library:
    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.

  • I tried restoring deleted photos, now my i photo albums are showing blank spaces with question marks on where there should be photos!!

    Can someone help me! I tried restoring deleted photos using time machine...I know I shouldn't have fiddled! When i went back to my i photo albums some of the photos had disappeared and in the space was a grey square with a question mark in. The photo still shows in the top area but i can't put it into a space. I have i photo 08. I don't know if it is an i photo album problem or I have in some way corrupted some of my photos. When i right click on the question mark the photo appears and I can drag back to the top area, it just won't show up in the album. Any suggestions? Thanks

    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 iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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. 

  • HT204022 Cannot delete photos from new iPad

    When I hit edit and then select the photos, the red delete button does not become active to allow me to delete.  Any ideas as to what I should do?  I just got the new ipad today and restored it to my old ipad 2 via my MacBook.  It's like I don't have permission or something.  Can't seem to find a way to delete these photos from my ipad.

    Where are the photos you are trying to delete?
    If they are in the Camera Roll you should be able to delete them on the iPad.
    But if they are in albums that were copied to you iPad by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync but before you click on Sync deselect the albums you no longer want on the iPad. Then click on Apply or Sync.

  • Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD

    Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
    Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
    Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
    This causes a problem for a few reasons.
    I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
    If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
    Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
    I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
    Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
    What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
    Sorry if this is verbose.
    regards,

    You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
    And the version of iPhoto you are using?
    I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    +Some Other Comments+
    iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
    It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
    It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
    When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
    I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
    The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
    So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • Unable to delete photos from iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A

    My wife needs to free up some space on her iPhone so she can take more photos and videos.  She has an iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A.  In General > About the device shows a Capacity of 12.7 GB and Available 1.1 GB.  She has 9 videos and 1,488 photos on this phone. She also pays about $4 a month for iCloud storage.
    I've connected this device to our Mac and to one of our PCs.  We are unable to remove the photos from this phone.  Upon selecting a photo from any collection, I can see the trash can icon on the lower right, but it is greyed out.
    Now, I've read that Apple makes it impossible to delete the photos that are synced to the iCloud.  This makes sense, since the syncing process would add the photo back to your device if it's not detected in the cloud.  Our dilemma is this.  She needs additional space on her phone. She thought that the iCloud service would provide her with additional space beyond the limitations of her phone where she could store photos without using up her phone's storage space.  Based on what I briefly read, it appears that we misunderstood the iCloud storage, at least in this regard.
    Here is what I need to be able to do.
    1. Back up the photos from her phone to one of our devices.  Either the Mac or the PC, it makes no difference to me.
    2. Then delete the photos from her phone, but retain them on the device where we backed them up.
    I expected to be able to use Windows Explorer on the PC in Windows 7.  But upon connecting the phone to the PC, there is no directory to the phone that shows me the image contents.  Instead, there is a folder under "Computer" named "iCloud Photos". Selecting that shows a message where I expected to see a listing of contents on the device, which reads "iCloud Photos is not enabled" followed by a link "Open iCloud Control Panel".  Selecting that link opens the iCloud dialog, showing iCloud Storage of 182.53 GB of 200 GB available.
    Selecting the checkbox next to Photos and choosing the Options button just shows a dialog that lets me choose the iCloud Photos Location on my PC.  But I don't see a list of the photos.
    3.  Where is a dialog that I can use to drag-and-drop in Windows 7 from the phone to a directory using Windows Explorer?
    I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for this.  Do we just need to cancel the iCloud account?  The storage doesn't do us any good if upon deleting a photo from the iCloud the syncing process will delete photos from our computers and our phone.  Do we need to configure the iCloud account differently?  Also, how can we tell if a photo is locked in the cloud, and thereby permanently affixed to her iPhone.
    Thanks for helping us.  This has been very frustrating.

    The "delete after Import" message will not always appear after the import.  It appears, if you are importing from a camera or card, but I do not see it, when I import from a mobile device with iCloud Photo Library enabled and into a System Photo Library, that also uses iCloud Photo Library.
    See the Photos Help:  https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
    If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.
    Unfortunately, this Help text does not state exactly, when it will be possible to delete after import and when not.

  • Unable to delete photos from my ipad2 .

    I am unable to delete photos from my ipad2. I am able to select the photos to delete but when I press the red delete button nothing happens. Is anyone else having this experience? Is there a known problem. Is there a solution?

    You don't say what type of photos - were they taken with the iPad or synced from your computer ?
    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (if you were able to delete them directly on the iPad, then the next time you synced photos they would be put back onto the iPad, unless you remembered to also remove them from your computer).

  • How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

    im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

    Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
    Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
    Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
    Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
    Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
    So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
    Cheers,

  • How do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    how do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    Do you mean photos that were synced from a computer ? If you do then you will need to reconnect your iPad or iPhone (this is the Using iPad forum) to your computer's iTunes and move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync - synced photos can't be deleted directly on a device
