After you export a photo library of backup, how to delete the photos in the photo library of the system

Hi, I use the pictures 1.2

Each year, I export my library on a backup drive and give it the name of the given year. My next task was to remove unwanted pictures (about 10 K photos) from that same year, then keep those 'important' for me (stuff of family, work and other landscapes and al. stuff: about 2 000 pictures.) I don't remember how I used to do with iPhotos, but it seemed obvious. Now, with Photos, I see only two choices: either watch the complete list of the photos, then click on those that I don't have anymore (I do not see me scroll 12 000 photos and videos) opening of the events at the time and the option click all photos to delete (and not just remove them from the event).

Deleting events without opening it won't because I get a message telling me (for good or bad reasons) that the photos are always going to be there. But then, imagine that I could remove the same with content pictures, I have about 300 events to remove, and they can be deleted one at a time.

So my question is (and I already put it as a feature request to apple, just in case) how I mass delete unwanted items and their photos, or better yet, how can we keep all the photos that I like (Favorites, for example, or photos with celebrities...) and delete the rest?

My library contains more than 200 GB on my MacBook Pro 500 GB HDD. I can't let it grow to 150 GB each year. and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. In addition, I travel a lot in many countries with bad Internet connections, so I won't use iCloud.

Thank you!

How are 'export' your photo of the backup library?  You create a copy of your current photo on the backup disk library or using "file > export" to export the photos? Just to be sure, that your photos are safe.

My next task was to remove unwanted pictures (about 10 K photos) from that same year, then keep those 'important' for me (stuff of family, work and other landscapes and al. stuff: about 2 000 pictures.) I don't remember how I used to do with iPhotos, but it seemed obvious.

You can quickly find the photos to delete by creating a smart album with the rule "the Photo is not favorite" and "Date is in the range...". »

File > new Smart Album:

You can add a rule "keyword is not 5 stars", if you have added the side star as well.

Then, select a range of photos in this smart album and enter the ⌘⌫ (command + delete) key combination.

This will completely clear photos of the library.

You can use the same combination of keys to remove the photos from iPhoto event albums in the Album section.  If you simply enter the delete key, the photo will be deleted only from the album, but remain in the library.

    Changes in the toolbars:

    I don't like the changes made to the user interface either, rather than to save toolbar space, they would have much more space with 1/10 the functionality. But the important thing is that it's Firefox and you can customize things yourself. Your complaints about the Firefox toolbars are the top 10 items in what follows and they are quickly fixed.

    Why you would bind your use of any third-party toolbar browser, which was never really necessary, and even less be hostage to not update to Firefox.

Google has waited very long before for finally stating that they would maintain is no longer their toolbar for Firefox, claiming that it was not necessary, and that the items were in Firefox. Also be aware that the features are also in their own browser that also do not need or use the Google toolbar. Not only is Mozilla open source, but all the information is available to anyone - you can even listen online meetings yourself or wait for a printed reviewa.
    There is no change to the user interface of Firefox 4 to 5 and probably even not through Firefox 7

    Life without the Google toolbar:

    You can read this article, on the basis of assessment of own Google features were already in Firefox and expanded from there.

    Kicking a dead horse:

    The Google toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and more ', you may be able to get what you want from him for a limited time, the instructions to install the Google toolbar have been posted before that Google has actually announced a fall support.

  • How to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after download / print?

    Can someone tell me how to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after that I downloaded and printed. Thank you

    jmsandkds,

    I apologize for the confusion. Options you speak of "photos, web and file" are located on the phone somewhere, lets say you click files. When you click on files, it will search the phone for available files that are able to print the ePrint app. To the extent where they are on the phone, you will need to search for them via the search screen, connection to the computer, or some files are program specific and only available in this program to be read, edited, or deleted.

    I hope this helps.

  • Backup of Windows 7 - the system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

    I have serious problems back up my own machine to a share on our FILE SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\

    I have already backed up another PC using exactly the same settings I used on my PC successfully.  So I guess it's nothing to do with the FILE SERVER or the backup settings.  There must be something to do with what I'm trying to backup of my machine.

    First, some background.  This exercise was started when Windows Server 2008 r2 o/s fell one of our servers.  I tried to reinstall the operating system several times, without success.  In the end, I caught another drive and rebuilt the o/s on the server.  Then I got in trouble by promoting to a domain on the network controller.  In the end, I've renamed server FILE Server for FILE SERVERS.

    We share regularly four records on what is now the FILE SERVER:

    \\FILE-SERVER\Backup - a folder where the backups of all other devices are written, so that they will be saved with the server

    \\FILE-SERVER\Company - contains all of the data of our company

    \\FILE-SERVER\GEM - this is for our own database application

    \\FILE-SERVER\Install - contains all the installation files for the software we use

    These are all inmates on a RAID 1 array that is separate from the system drive that covered.

    On my laptop, I had made these "Available offline" shared folders, while I still had everything that is available to me when I was away from the office.  They were of course shared under \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\... Before the server down, I had backup works fine on my machine.

    After having got the server up and going again, I started going there from the WIndows 7 Client PC backups again.  I started with a desktop computer, which of course have not all offline files.  This turned out to be relatively simple.

    Then, I started with my machine.  Initially I did not 'Available offline' folders shared meanings.  I created my backup using exactly the same settings that had worked OK on the desktop.  But when I ran the backup I got:

    The system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

    I tried all sorts of things to make it work:

    • with or without an image of the system.
    • reducing the backup in a single folder.
    • do it again 'available offline files

    Nothing makes no difference.  In the end, I looked in the Sync Center to look at the offline files folder.  Under mapped network drives I discovered that I still had the files and folders in \\FILESERVER.  In their Menu Popup 'Always available offline' is grayed out.  So I deleted the Copies offline.  This delete the files in the folders but not files.

    Since I could find no way to delete the old mapped network drives.  I decided that I had painted myself into a corner.  So I bit the bullet and re-installed my laptop too.  This will get rid of the unwanted old mapped network drives - BUT NOT the ERROR!

    HELP - I'm running out of ideas!

    I have a WORD Document that all the settings that I used on the server and Clients, as well as the reasoning behind these settings, documents, but I can't find a way to download.

    Hi Brian,.

    These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point.
    Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive. For example, a reparse point would a folder such as C:\DVD to point to drive E, the real DVD player.

    Perform the steps from the link below and see if the backup works.

    Windows backup or restore 0 x 80070001, 0 x 81000037 or 0 x 80070003 errors  

    If you work with Windows Server 2008 and the mapped drives, I would recommend that you post the question in the TechNet forums.

  • If the Photos are not Visible after their exportation from Photos for Mac

    Export of Photos may write JPGs invisible on the disc, if the photos are exported with the option ' file name: use the title.

    If the first affected user a title to the picture, the deleted the title text, photography will have an empty title and the exported photos will be simply named ".jpg" and treated as invisible system files.  This bug can fill the disk with lots of image files, which are not visible in the Finder, unless the hidden files are made visible.

    User bikedaveca reported this bug today:

    See discussion: exported photos do not appear in the Finder

    More in this tip of the user:

    Bug: export of Images with "file name: U title" exports the files as Invisible, if the title has been deleted

    As a precaution, keep at least one printable character in the title field, when when you remove a title from a photo, so you can see, she had a given title.

    As a test, import three new pictures, for example:

    The first has a title, the other had a title, but removed, the third one never had a title and watch "Untitled."

    When I select and export them with ' file name: use Title ", only two photos will be displayed in the Finder.

    The problem is, that deleting a title does not remove the title, but adds an empty title. If the photos are exported with the filename ".jpg".

  • Assistance required after you download Sierra - locked in a spiral of failure of the Installation

    Hello - I am a student of the University who made the mistake of thinking I had to upgrade my OS system after seeing some updates new flashy in the Sierra. Long story short, that my computer is locked into a cycle where I restarts and the installation process will begin installation but end abruptly and ask me to reboot again.

    I have exams and papers due and seriously want access to my data again. I don't have a back up of my files. As such, I am looking for a method that will allow me access to my files that I need to be able to read notes, print etc.

    Details: I have an old MBPro by the end of 2011. He was on as the primary OS x Lion. I had updated some time later. More recently, I got El Capitan and it worked very well. I downloaded Sierra in the background as I did work at home and after installing it, it asked me to reboot. This was the point that I was able to come back from. Reboot after installation scenario is as follows:

    -A progress bar comes up saying 34 minutes until completion

    -The progress bar goes to 33 minutes until completion

    -Beginning of fans of my computer acting upward and the bar stops and crashes of progression

    -The installation process says he doesn't have and asks me to restart my computer

    Specifically, I get the message 'Mac OS could not be installed on your computer. File system check or repair a failure. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again. »

    When I quit the installer of the OS, I am taken to the startup disk option and asked to choose a system to reboot my computer with. I see 'Macintosh HD macOS 10.11.4' but when I click on it and try to restart I get the following error message, "you cannot change the disk on the disk selected. Startup disk could not gather enough information on the selected disk. »

    Things I've tried:

    Internet recovery mode: I went here to do a restore of the Mac OS x comes with my computer (Lion). This attempt fails and the computer tells me I can't downgrade because a more recent OSX is already on my computer...

    Recovery mode: I tried to come back just El Capitan from here. When I try to do the process will take literally one second before I get a notification saying: "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

    Disk utility: I tried to do first aid and repair on this menu on the big disk image (since some of them pop up... I'm sure that the big one is my computer and the small setup of Sierra is?). I see that I 115Gigs franco 319Gigs departure. When I click on check and repair, the process takes some time and seems as he goes to halfway through before I get errors in the two. Repair error wonder backup my data.

    -some specific stuff; the journal for the repair of first aid says something like: the Macintosh HD volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code is 8. Update support partition for the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... »

    Safe mode: I can't start in safe mode. My computer will load the apple logo, progress on 3/4ths of the way start-up and then crash on its own and not restart.

    Things I have tried:

    Constituting a new boot USB of OS Sierra - I read that in so doing I can substitute the installation process that is going on right now on my computer and start a new... I hope one that works. I was not able to do this again, because I need someone to another macbook to make it and none of my friends won't let me touch their computers after the fiasco that happened on mine... Can I get some feedback on this?

    Backup: I don't have an external hard drive... I'm willing to buy one if necessary, but I don't know how to make a backup in a world where I don't have access to the major functional sections of my computer. Also, if my computer is * session here now, I'm worried that a backup will be essentially a * a backup... is this the work of the computer?

    Other thoughts:

    -my computer was working fine before I tried the upgrade... no complaints on my end, it was a real trooper

    -Maybe the download was corrupted?

    -I learned today that the operating system installation process requires internet connection - maybe that my internet connection is bad?

    -on that note, I want to say I tried a lot of different things. Been in different parts of the campus (different parts of my dorm building, IT support across campus, etc.). My University has also 3 options of WIFI, but each requires a separate verification process. Throughout this process, I have been connected to one of these methods. Switching may help? But, if I can't do the verification step (i.e. open a browser and type in the details of my student specific to actually use the web), I do not think that this will help you a lot. In addition, I am sure that I am already using one of the less frequently used options.

    I want to avoid a permanent possible deletion because there are important things on my computer.

    Any advice? Enjoy it!

    Same problem here on my Mac Mini end of 2012. I couldn't find any fix so far. The machine worked perfectly fine before with El Capitan and had about 50 GB of available disk space. I have use any version beta of Sierra, but officially released one that came yesterday. Really disappointing to see the new system operating software with fundamental questions and no good way to solve it.

    Any help really appreciated.

  • APEX 5.0 after you close a modal dialog box, I want to introduce the parent page, without losing session values

    I have a parent page that triggers a modal dialog box in APEX 5.0. When the user confirms in the dialog box, it closes the dialog box by using the process of dialogue.

    In the parent page, if I do not have a dynamic action "Dialog box closed", the user returned to page with the values, they recently came again here. If I add a closed action dialog box to send the page, the values are lost - it's as if the page refreshes before submitting. Someone knows how to solve this problem.
