Why can't I delete my pictures and videos?

In my gallery I have two extra galleries saying my pictures are from my computer and doesn't give me the option to delete them. Although my videos don't say they're from my computer, it still doesn't let me delete them. I've tried connecting my phone to iTunes and disconnecting from iCloud but nothing seems to be working and i want these pictures off my phone. Please help!!!

That's an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path between the thumbnail and original file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When connecting to icloud, why can i not see my pictures and videos?

Is there not supposed to be an icon for my pictures?
I have my photostream on in my settings

PhotoStream is entirely for use as a method of easily sending photos you've added to or taken on one device onto all your others: it's purely a conduit and not accessible as a gallery.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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")

HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
Look at this app for the videos.
Wireless Transfer App - Share, sync & backup photos, pictures ...

Yes.

I recently got a mac book pro and uploaded my pictures and videos from my iphone 4 to the mac book. If I delete these pictures and videos from my phone will they automatically delete from the mac book?

No. The data that you downloaded from your iPhone will remain on your MBP.
Ciao.

How can i get back the pictures and videos i deleted?

I deleted some of my pictures and videos two months ago. now I really really need them , is there any way that I can gt them back.

Two months ago? Highly unlikely, but you can try these;
Data Rescue 3;
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
Stellar Phœnix;
http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
Both programmes will give you a free download to scan your HD and see if the files are recoverable, but you'll have to pay for the full application to actually recover them.
In this case I doubt there'll be much left to recover as the files will probably have been overwritten by now. If you're really desperate you could try a Forensic recovery service, but you'd be talking 4-figure cost with no guarantee of useable results.

Why can't I delete gaps in the video or audio timeline?

I have added narration to a sequence of old (silent) video clips. But when I delete or add a clip to march the narration I frequently get a gap on either the video line or the narration line. I can click on it to turn it gray but I can't delete to close the gap. The audio and video are not linked. They were recorded at totally different times. Why can't I click on a grayed gap and delete this?
One note:every once in a while (one time in ten) I can delete a grayed area. I have no idea what I've done on this occasion to close gaps.
Any suggestions?

Steve
I'm not sure I understand. What is the difference between a true gap and and an apparent gap? There were no gaps in either the narrative or the video until I inserted (or deleted a clip). I'm only using one track (the first one). And I've added the narrative just below it. There is nothing at all on video 2 or audio 2 (except for the title at the very beginning).
How do other people add a short clip into the video 1 timeline without introducing a comparable gap in the narrative line below?
This is maddening when I'm trying to finish what is really only a 12 minute video. Attempting to close everything back up again literally stops me cold. I assume more sophisticated users have ways of dealing with this. I wish I knew what they were.
best wishes

Why can't I delete individual pictures in iPhoto?

I hav gone thorgh the individual list of itrms and none work
Dan Page

DanPage,
When you open iPhoto, click on Photos, select a photo, it should be outlined with a yellow border. Then click COMMAND delete, click DELETE PHOT (you can also hold down command and select multiple photos)
It will send it to trash in iPhoto, you can then select the photos in the trash (you can also do a COMMAND A to select all in the trash)and they will outline then SHIFT+COMMAND+DELETE, and click on do you want to delete X photos permanently, click OK then they should be sent to your trash, empty trash securely(SHIFT+COMMAND+DELETE) and they should be forever gone.
this is using iPhoto 9.2.3
Hope this helps

I accidentally imported and deleted my pictures and videos to my iphone. How can i send back my pictures and videos that i accidentally imported? please reply thanks

my iphone has no sim so that i cant connect to the internet.

Import them just like you would any other photos, via iTunes.
You have to connect to iTunes, and sync via the photos tab.
This will create a new album, so it won't add ot the camera roll but be in the photos app.
Without a sim card you can still connect to wifi, so you do have internet access if you can get wifi accesss.

Delete all pictures and videos after the restart iPhone

I used various iPhone 3G 8 Gb, 3G 16Gb. Now 3Gs 16Gb. It had all the firmware. Now 3.1.3.
And all had the same problem - after restart iPhone all the photos taken on the iPhone, from the album disappeared.
Why is this and how to fix it?

For what completely insane reason would someone attempt an iOS updare (or any operating system update) without first ensuring all their media and other important data was backed up?
Pictures taken with the iPhone are designed to be regularly copied off to a computer. Apple even provides PhotoStream to sync them to multiple other devices as well as including them in the backup done via iTunes or iCloud.
If you elected to not take advantage of the multiple ways of saving the date before updating iOS and it is now lost, tough luck.

A few days ago it started with youtube. I wasn't able to watch videos and at the beginning didn't think much of it( i had the problem before but not for so long ). Then I tried to find the solution in the web but then I noticed I couldn't open a lot of sites like the Opera download page or the "uninstall flash player" page.

Why Can't I Delete Two (daily) History Folders?

As we all know, in Safari, clicking on History/Show History reveals a list of websites visited with the most recent web visits inside the Last Visited Today folder, beneath which is a historical list of daily folders delineated by day and date. It's generally very easy to manually delete an entire daily history folder, or, click on that history folder and selectively delete any history events inside it.
That said, I have a couple of older daily history folders, that I've been trying to delete and they're impossible to delete. Curiously, they're both from the Saturday occurring on the weekend of October 18th/19th of both 2013 and now 2014 as seen below. I was able to delete all the history events inside the folders, but I can't delete the folders themselves.
Why can't I delete these folders and more importantly, how do I delete them?
I'm running Safari 6.1.6 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5
Thanks for any help!

You saw my pre edited post I suppose?
But Yes, I agree about the bookmarks. You are right about this I'm sure. I didn't even think about bookmarks.You have to delete bookmarks in order to competely clear all of that out. I have tons of bookmarks in Safari and unless I delete the bookmarks, even if I clear the history, those websites will pop up in the window under the URL field because they are still in the bookmarks.
Deleting the history just deletes the chronological listing of the sites that you have visited over a period of time. Bookmarks are something totally different altogether.
But to me - the whole point of having bookmarks is so that you can easily navigate back to this sites.
