Why can't I delete an Image in lightroom 5, but can remove it from a collection?

Just recently I have been experiencing difficulties in deleting images in Lightroom 5.  In the develop module, I select the image I  would like to delete, I choose delete from disk, and choose permanently delete them, and nothing happens.  I try flagging it with an X, and under photo menu delete all rejected photos, but that does not work either.  What may I be doing wrong?  Thanks for all your help.  

I came on here wondering the same thing after trying all the things you just mentioned! Can anyone tell us how to delete photos? Thanks

    Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.

    In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever.

    The previous owner doesn't need to give you their credentials. They can release the device via Find My iPhone on iCloud.com as per the instructions in the link I posted in my initial response: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    If the person you bought it from refuses to do this, I would assume the device is stolen and I would demand a refund and/or contact the authorities.

  • TS4147 My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account.  I want it to come from my GMAil Account.  I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL.  What can I do?

    My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account.  I want it to come from my GMAil Account.  I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL.  What can I do?  Is there a way to merge my gmail contacts to icloud?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • HT201306 Why can't you select whole Collections of books in iTunes to synch to your iPad?

    Wondering why iTunes won't allow you to select Collections from the iBooks app to synch to your devices.  Much like iTunes handles music and playlists, it would make sense, if you had created a collection called "Summer Reading List" or even "Odd Thomas Series" that you would then only have to select the name of the Collection in iTunes to load all (or all checked) books from that collection to your device.

  • How to mass-delete unrated images in Lightroom?

    Hi everyone and happy Memorial Day.
    I wonder if someone can help me with a Lightroom question.
    How can I erase all of my un-flagged images? I would like to quickly flag or otherwise mark all the keepers and maybe keepers and then delete all the rest. I feel like there must be a way because having to hit each image with an "x" to reject it seems like too big a pain for there not to be a shortcut.
    I recall someone on a forum told me how to delete all rejected images at once by hitting CTRL-BACKSPACE and that has saved me hours of wasted time over the last couple of years. I hope someone can suggest a similar shortcut for deleting all unrated images, keeping my flagged ones safe.

    Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

    "A related note: who worries the next Adobe Lightroom will go to the "Creative Cloud" ."
    I have been dealing with Adobe for 40+ years and one thing for sure, you never know.  I am a beta tester for them. They don't tell us much either.  I am going to "guess", likely.  Maybe 60/40 to go cloud.  Make sure you keep your copy up-to-date!
    Photoshop and Lightroom plus the rest of CS are mature products.  Meaning the market is saturated.  The only new revenue is the few new photographers that enter the field.  This leaves Adobe to just do upgrades to make a profit.  Is the upgrade worth it?  Every 18 months or 2 years?   To some, yes but to others no.  Makes future predictions of revenue difficult.  The CC format guarantees a constant revenue stream, forever.  Adobe's profits are very high right now and their stock is up.  So your guess is a s good as mine.
    You are also likely to see other mature software go the subscription route.  Microsoft Office 
    There is also the misguided theory that bootleging would be better controlled but that hasn't happened.

  • Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

    Hi folks!
    Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
    So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
    If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance,
    Lynn

    I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
    Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
    You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

  • Why am I seeing very dark images in Lightroom and Photoshop?

    I've just installed a new monitor - pretty much the same as the old one. CC was working fine on the old monitor but on the new one files opened in both Lightroom and Photoshop are very dark. I also see, briefly, a yellow triangle in the image when it opens. Are there setttings I need to change?

    Are you using any sort of screen calibration?  If you are, did you disable it before attaching the new monitor?
    What operating system are you using?

  • Why can I read from my instruments in LabView only when NI Spy is open?

    This is a recurring problem, but I hope someone has an idea of what may be causing it. I have two older (c. 1992) instruments that we use for simple measurements. One is a Newport PMC-400 actuator driver/motion controller, the other is a EG&G/Princeton Applied Research 5302 lock-in amplifier. I am using Labview 6i with a PCI-GPIB card.
    The instruments themselves work fine, and seem to run somewhat reliably if NI-Spy is open. However, if we close NI-Spy, the GPIB seems to "lock up" and time out, requiring resets of all the instruments. This seems to be something related to either command termination or timing.
    Any thoughts/hints/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi JFoley,
    The reason this happens is usually related to the instrument! Certain older instruments communicate with the GPIB board in such a way that they indicate that they are able to receive data before they really are. This was a nice trick back in the day when computers were slower, and it could get away with �lying� about its state as it would make the instrument look faster than it was! With the faster computers of today it throws off the bus timing and can cause problems.
    You may be able to resolve the timing problems, either by introducing delays between GPIB commands, or by changing the GPIB bus timing to the slowest setting (in the GPIB Configuration Utility). The first option is usually successful, but the second option is less effective becau
    se it only affects the time that the GPIB controller waits before valid data is on the bus and the DAV line is asserted (a step in the GPIB handshaking that occurs each time a byte of information is sent to the device).
    Hope this helps out!

  • QUICKTIME [7.4.1] Why can't get from auto-update?

    I'm trying to get the new quicktime from the auto/update, but it says my software is upto date / but when i checked online the new version was available only from its website,,, so whys it not there in autoupdate, is there a problem in the new version / which is why apple is not it putting on,,, help plz?

    Lawrence,
    Thanks for your reply. 
    So to affirm your point, I agree there are certain users who (for whatever reasons) prefer to evaluate and research the available consensus on every single update published for every single of their apps.  So yes, my want to have apps on the iPhone auto-update (vs being required to manually click to update them) might  frustrate some. To that end, I'd imagine there are very few features (like an auto update) a company could add to a heavily used system (like Apple's iOS) without generating some controversy; the auto-update I want is no exception. 
    That said, the argument that the majority (or even a significant minority) of users wouldn't want to receive the most updated versions of the apps they have on their phones seems a bit thin.  Updates are just that: "up to date" versions of their software.  The onus is on the developers to release functioning and improved updates; that's an obligation Apple should reinforce if they desire a robust and diverse ecology of apps to augment the utility and value of their phones. 
    The present dynamic assumes iPhone users want to invest their time evaluating and collecting research on the viability of each new update to their apps.  That's ridiculous and implies a mistrust of both their app publishers, as well as the effectiveness of a democratic marketplace:
    App publishers want to do right by their users, thus they want to release good updates, and
    A marketplace of user ratings and reviews influence other user behavior, so an irresponsible developer wouldn't get very far releasing crap updates.

  • Why can't someone from apple answer my question about upgrading to the current version of Itunes

    I am amazed that I have been posting questions for months about this issue and no one has given me an answer!!!!  Does Apple not track these discussions?
    I have Windows 7 64-bit and am trying to upgrade Itunes to the current version, with no suggestions.
    I have found and tried the 64-bit installer and receive the following message:
      'This itunes installed is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please download and install 64-bit Itunes installer instead.'
    I have itunes 9.1.1.12 currently installed.

    Okay ... it's behaving just like the PC Mover thing. 32-bit versions of iTunes and AMDS have somehow been jammed on the PC. When you go to uninstall either of them, the 64-bit Windows installer service encounters 32-bit installation configuration information, goes into a fantod, and you get the error message.
    So we'd better try clearing away that installation configuration information, and then trying another update.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
