Deleting photos in my pictures

Whenever I try to remove photos from my pictures, I just find myself copy after copy of the same image, for example, 1 copy, copy 2-, etc...  I am 'right click' on the pictures, by clicking on 'delete' in the menu.  I'm doing something wrong?  This happens especially when I try to delete several images.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • Deleted photo album file does not open

    I accidentally deleted my original photo album when exporting photos from my USB. I thought that I had lost the pictures. I plugged the usb again and the folder of photos was in the trash, so I dragged. I tried opening the file and he "quit unexpectedly" How do I fix? I lost more than 900 photos. What should I do?

    the folder of photos was in the trash, so I dragged.

    What do you mean by "Original Photo Album" or "pictures folder"?  Your photo library?

    If you got to the photo of the trash library, try to fix it.  See this link: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht6be18f93

    Important: You must back up your library before repair of your library.

    • If the photo is open, choose Photos > Photos of quit smoking.
    • Press Option-command and double-click on the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click the Photos icon in the Dock). The library of repair window opens.
    • Click on fix to rebuild your library.
  • Deleting photos from my camera memory

    When I was using Photos to store pictures taken with my camera, I tick the box that seems to allow Photos to remove these from the memory card. I don't want the pictures too much room on the card after downloading. How can I delete pictures piling up from the camera memory card?

    Import Photos to Mac Board is marked "Remove items after importing" below the toolbar. If you enable this, prior to import the items, it will be automatically deleted, once the import is complete.

    Or you can use your camera to erase the card after having imported the photos to Photos and verified, if the import was successful.

  • How to recover permanently deleted photos iOS?

    Recently, I accidentally deleted photos of my camera and later permanently erased from the recently deleted folder and forget they were there. I only have backups iCloud. I don't have any iTunes ones. I tried the deletion and restoration of two backups. A for a few days and the other nearly two weeks ago. Two of them restore all photos of how they were after the pictures have been permanently despite them being backups before the deletion took place. These photos are gone for good? It seems to me that they are. I thought for sure the backups restore them, but they did not. Any help would be appreciated. There are additional methods, I can try that I have not already? Thank you.

    If you have been synchronized with iCloud, using a computer, go to iCloud.com/Photos to see if they are there, but I doubt they will. Looks like they are gone for good.

  • Supprimer delete photos on iPhone, keep on mac using ICloud?

    Hello! How do I remove photos from my iPhone and always keep them on my mac? I use iCloud and have about 50 GB of Photos on my phone. My plan is bigger than that, but again, I don't want to have that many photos on my iPhone (but keep them on my mac). Is this possible? I tried to import on my Mac, but it doesn't show me all the pictures are on my phone. It shows me about 3000 instead of 11000... TIA

    Julievite g ' Day,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you want to remove photos from your iPhone, but still keep the photos on your Mac. Use the article import pictures and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to import all the photos from your iPhone to your Mac, more specifically, this section:

    Import into your Mac.

    You can use Photos for OS X to import photos from your iOS device to your Mac without using iCloud photo library. This procedure also works for the import of images from digital cameras and SD cards.

    1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or digital camera to your Mac with a USB cable. If you use an SD card, insert it into the SD slot on your Mac, or connect using a card reader.
    2. You need to unlock your iOS device using your access code. You can also see a prompt on the device iOS asking you to Trust This Computer. Tap the confidence to continue.
    3. On your Mac, the Photos app automatically opens. If not, open the Photos app.
    4. The Photos app shows a screen of import with all photos and videos that can be found on the connected device. If the import screen does not automatically appear, click the Import tab at the top of the Photos app, or click on the name of the device in the sidebar of Photos.
    5. To import a selection of photos, click the ones you want, and then click Import selection. To import all new pictures, click Import all Photos again.
    6. Once the import is complete, a message asks if you want to delete or keep the photos on your device. Click on remove items to remove photos or click on keep items to keep them on the device.
      If you select keep items, you will need to remove them directly from your device when you want to remove.
    7. You can now disconnect your device from your Mac. If you imported photos from an SD card or USB, safely eject the device first device.

    Imported photos appear in the album last import of the Photos app.

    Photos and videos that sync you from your computer on your device iOS through iTunes can be imported to your computer.

    Know what to do If you can not import pictures from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.

    Once you have made sure all the photos have been imported to your Mac, you can then safely remove them from your iPhone. The iPhone user guide has the steps to remove photos from your iPhone, in particular, this section:

    Delete a picture or video from pictures. Click on the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, press on , then press to remove the Photo or video delete. Deleted photos and videos are stored in the album recently deleted on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently deleted from the iPhone. To permanently delete the photo or video before the days expire, tap the item, tap on delete, then remove the Photo or video delete. If you use iCloud photo library, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all your devices using iCloud photo library with the same Apple ID.

    See you soon!

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Deleting photos, but it still says there are 900 MB photos.

    Hello

    I just removed all of my photos in my iPhone 6, but storage has always said that I have photos for like 929 MB.

    The funny thing is that when I check iTunes, it says I have 355 photos taking 944MB. But I just removed everything from the phone by going to pc > iPhone > DCIM.

    Anyone know what these "ghost" pictures are and has a solution for the problem?

    I have not synced all photos from my computer to my iPhone and my iCloud and photostream are turned OFF.

    Check first of all, the album recently removed in Photos, which is a novelty after iOS 8.1. If it is empty you may have come across a strange bug where deleted photos are not actually deleted. To check what followed these rather strange instructions:

    • Go to settings/general/Date & time
    • Disable automatically the value
    • Tap the current date/time and roll back about 2 years
    • Click general in the left upper corner
    • Launch the Photos app and go to the recently deleted album (even though it says there are 0 photos)
    • It is full of pictures? If so, remove them
    • Return to settings/general/Date & time and restart the value automatically

  • How do I delete photo albums and send them to an external hard drive?

    Newbie here and thankful for any help.

    I have been scanning a lot of old photos.  I bought a WD My Passport for Mac.  I would like to remove some old albums of photos scanned photos and put them on My Passport.  How to achieve this?  Also, do I buy an external hard drive right or should I format it?  Clerks in Best Buy make it sound so simple... "Just put your photos on an external hard drive.

    I guess I should mention that I have defined iCloud for storing photos and I have a time capsule airport put in place.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    Also, do I buy an external hard drive right or should I format it?

    What is the file system of the reader?

    Select the icon for the drive in Finder, and then press the combination of keys ⌘I (abbreviation of "file > read information").

    The info panel displays the file system in the genres section:

    If the file system is not Mac OS extended (journaled) reformat the drive with disk utility before you move all data to it.  Formatting will erase it.

    The procedure is explained here for Aperture, but it goes the same for Photos: external drives Format Mac OS extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support

    I have been scanning a lot of old photos.  I bought a WD My Passport for Mac.  I would like to remove some old albums of photos scanned photos and put them on My Passport.  How to achieve this?

    Save your photos on external hard drive, you have two options - just save the INDIVIDUAL photos or save the photo library.

    It would be better to copy your photo library on disk. This way you will save the versions published with all the metadata that you added and the original images in the quality is.

    If you export photos you need to make your choice, if you want to export the edited versions or the original versions, or both.

    • To save the library, do it just from the pictures on the external drive folder.
    • To save the individual photos, open one of your albums, then select all photos with ⌘A, then use the command "file > export > export... photos ' and select one a high-quality format t the original size. Do this for all the photos. Check if the export went well, before you delete photos from the library.  To remove photos from an album using the ⌘⌫ key combination command + DELETE.

    Empty the recently deleted album only after that you convinced yourself that the exported photos are OK and you have a backup.

    All my deleted photos (even older then 30 days) are still there. All the pictures I deleted on my iPhone before, in aid of the iCloud photo library, is always there. They are now on my PC in the download folder.

    This means that all of my photos are stored by Apple, even if I delete them!
