Why can't I make some photos in iOS 8 a favorite?

I recently migrated from an iPhone 5s to a 6, and thus to iOS 8.
I really miss my iPhone camera roll, which contained an odd collection of pics important to me.
Although I can find them scattered through Photos in iOS 8, some of them do not have the "heart" option to add the photo to Favorites. Why?
I've been trying to recreate my old camera roll in Favorites.

sinc eyou give us abasoutely no inforamation except that you have a problem it is impossibel to tell you
What version of iphoto do you have?The general answer to deleting photos in iphoto is to select a photo in an event, press teh delete key and empty the iPhoto trash and teh System trash
However deleting photo is probably not going to resolve a disk space issue - how much free disk space do you have? Ususlly deleting a few (or even a lot of) photos is not enough to help
you probablly need to get an externaldrive and move your photos and music to it
to move our photos
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Why can't I delete some photos from my iphone 5c? There is no trash bin at the bottom of some of the photos so what option do I have to delete these photos?

How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?

It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.

Why can't I delete my photos following iOS 8 update?

Since Updating my iphone 5 to iOS 8, I cannot delete my restored photo's. I don't have an option to delete. How can I get rid of some photos to free up a bit of space? Thanks

How are you trying to delete photos?
The Trashicon to delete photos should become available, when you select photos in the "recently Added" album or in the Moments in the Photos tab.
To delete synced photos sync your iPhone again with iTunes, with the synced photo albums deselected.

So my brother synced all my photos to iPhoto on my Mac and deleted them on my iPad for some reason. I synced the photos back to my iPad. The problem is that those specific photos can't be deleted off my iPad. Someone please help me out with this. I greatly appreciate all suggestions.

Why can't I open some photos in iphoto 11

when I try to open photos in iphoto 11 I get an exclamation mark

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Why can't I delete some photos from my iPhone?

Photos from my computer somehow got copied onto my phone. First, are those photos taking up space? Secondly, how can I get rid of them? It won't let me delete those particular pics from my phone.

To answer your questions, yes, they are taking up space. They were synced from the computer via iTunes to the iPhone. Second, to delete them, you have to do what you did to get them on there in reverse. Connect the iPhone to iTunes, select the iPhone, go to the Photos tab in iTunes, then remove the checkmark to sync the photos and then sync again. That will delete them.

Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

Nothing happens. I can select the text but when I go to “highlight” it the button is grayed out and nothing happens. Is there some sort of code that prevents certain publications from having portions of their text highlighted?

How do I change the default programme to open pictures when downloading? It always proposes Windows Live Photo Gallery and I have to change it to Windows Photo Viewer every time. Why can't I make it automatic? - the tick box is greyed out.

Why can't I view some videos on Internet sites?

Why can't I view some videos on Some Internet sites?

The iPad does not have Flash. Adobe does not make Flash for the iOS.So you either need a specific app, such as the YouTube app to view Flash video on the YouTube site, or you can get one of the very experimental Flash browsers for the iPad from the iTunes App Store.

Why can't I open I Photo??

Why can't I open I Photo??

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.

You did something wrong
Seriously if you want help you need to give some information
What happens?
Did you restore the iPhoto library as a single entity?
What did you do and how?

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700 pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.
