My iphoto garbage will delete (empty). Over 4000 photos are in the garbage awaiting removal.  Help!

My I have garbage removal site Photo will NOT delete. I have over 4000 photos etc stuck in limbo.  Help!

I have over 4000 photos etc stuck in limbo.  Help!

This is probably the problem.  Older versions of iPhoto have a bug and cannot empty the trash, if the Recycle Bin is too full.

Take some items from the trash, until you only have a few hundred items, then try to empty the trash again.

  • How will I know if my photos are backed up

    Sorry for the silly question

    After the support for my Airport time capsule of my iMac I don't know if the photos have supported the capsule

    I assume you mean Time machine.

    TM backup everything as long as you do not exclude that it... but you can check by looking at the pictures folder and photos by opening the backup.

    You probably need to spend time to learn how to use Time Machine... as it can be quite tricky.

  • I use my photos as a screen saver file. I deleted some of my photo file, but the deleted photos still appear while the screen saver is running.

    How is the screen saver for the photos?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Note: files or images will be stored in the same C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr file after the image is removed from the main location. This is the reason why the photos appear even after their removal. And once you navigate and new photos as your screensaver the old ones will be replaced automatically.

    See the link below to learn more about the Windows Photo Gallery:

  • What are all the ways to remove/delete historical navigation?

    I can't remove/clear the browsing history.  I tried to use "internet options" under "Tools" and "clear browing history" under 'security', but none do.

    I recommend a free program called CCleaner which removes the browsing history, cookies, saved passwords, etc. This program can download and use, just be careful with registry cleaner function if you are not comfortable with the registry.

  • iPhoto displays only 1 person on each photo with none of the landscapes

    Hello

    I have iPhoto 9.6.1 using a Macbook Air (mid-2012), processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7, memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics with El Capitan version 10.11.3 4000 1536 MB graphics card.

    My photos are showing the head 1 people in each photo. Other people and the landscape was divided into separate photos. I read the instructions to repair, rebuild the database for iPhoto without any positive result. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you very much

    Your message is not clear - my best guess with virtually no information is that you have imported an old library in iPhoto - you never, never an import library - you open them

    If this assumption is correct, then your only option is to restart the old library of openness rather than import them

    and since your question is about iPhoto for Mac I'll ask that they are displaced to the Photos for Mac forum to iPhoto for Mac forum

  • Can the records with the same pictures are in the Organizer add? I have to start? I tried to organize photos in folders in a time better. I have to start all over again?

    I made new files so I could have a better time line, but the Organizer will not let me load them. The new files contain the same images, but they are better organized.  To add pictures in the folders I have to delete those in the organizer and start again?  I feel like I got this backward little and should have organized their first. Help.

    The key to understanding the difference between the Organization of your files and folders directly in your disk folders tree and by organizing with a catalogue, is that the catalogue:

    -contains no image files, that links to the actual location on the disk

    -stores the links in a database with organizers strict rules, which is to avoid duplicates.

    One of the highlights of the databases such as those in the elements or Lightroom is that they store duplicate data. Which avoids not only of space useless, but also ensures that you're updating a file and forget its duplicates. As a result, the Organizer will prevent you from 'import', which is to 'index' your files several times. It recognizes the files into two criteria: the size of the file in kilobytes and the "date" of the shooting.

    The other strength of the catalogue, it's that you can select the sort order of your files displayed: by date, name of the file, import annealing in Bell or same "custom" order in albums. This means you don't ever need to have your physical files and folders sorted by dates on your drive. Try to get a similar organisation to the date on your car in your catalog can be an unnecessary pain. Good if you choose a folder structure to date in office at the time of importation; There must be little order at this time anyway. Once your photos are cataloged, the rule is that if you want to change the structure of your file, you must do it from the Organizer itself (left panel of record). This means that you are working with already imported files (you can not import duplicates). You can organize in this folder on the same panel as if you were in Solution Explorer / finder. You can either use the 'move' menu or drag and drop of folders with their subfolders, you can move the files of images to other subfolders. Beware, there are traps in doing this, for example by trying to move a subfolder in master already a folder with the same name of subfolder...

    So, ask yourself if all this work is really worth. And be patient and prudent to do this task from the file Organizer Panel.

  • deleted programs manually always appear in the list, add/remove programs

    I have a large number of programs I uninstalled, but they still appear in Add/Remove program with the button Delete. Using the button Delete has nothing else that wasting time by telling me that he was unable to find the components. I went to the registry editor and manually delete all programs. I then checked the list Add/Remove programs and programs have disappeared. Then, I closed the registry editor and check the Add/Remove Programs list. The programs appear once more, this time without a button Delete. When I go back to the registry editor, the programs have disappeared. How to make them out of the Add/Remove Programs list?

    That all sounds pretty messed - too bad you took this approach.

    It is also a pity that forums MS Answers does not ask for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.

  • Some iPhoto albums appear empty with no sticker and say '0' when I fly over the album, but the photos are there when I double click.

    To start, I read in countless discussions here on iPhoto glitches and patches, so I hope I'm not repeating this question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere I had a question after question with iPhoto (mainly around several accidents after organizing photos into albums that made the album organization and this issue I describe below) and is considering moving to Adobe Bridge just to have a reliable place to store my photos without worrying about the constant pain. I realize that no program is immune to glitches, but the volume and the frequency that I've had with iPhoto is unmatched (which led me to wonder if it is just a user error, but I honestly can't understand for the life of me). So I describe my current number below, in the hope of resolving the issue so that either A. I can fix and give iPhoto a chance more or B can I ensure that my photos are safe and intact before transfer to another program.

    Some of my iPhoto albums appear empty with no sticker and say '0' when I fly over the album, but the photos are there when I open the album. I have rebuilt the thumbnails, and it has not solved the problem. After the other issues that I had with iPhoto crashes, I made sure that all updates have been installed. Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've rebuilt or repaired the database, but it seems that all my photos are present, all mixed together and some showing in the albums 'empty '. Here's my question: is one problem, other than being boring? And should I switch to another program, or have I missed something?

    A few details:

    • I have rebuilt thumbnails today and it took 5.5 hours. It seems completing without problem, but has not solved the problem.

    • I have my computer fully backed up on an external drive to Seagate drive as Mac OS extended (journaled) as well as iPhoto backed up separately on the drive as well.

    • Looks like I have a "library" and "alias."

    • I use iPhoto to organize my photos. I use Photoshop to edit. I love the feel of iPhoto, but I lost hours and hours trying to organize and solve problems.

    • I use iPhoto 11 version 9.4.3 OSX 10.8.5 / / MacBook Pro processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    More worrying is the issue of the repeated questions. How you use iPhoto and Photoshop together?

    Tabula Rasa:

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its function of reconstruction. (In early versions of the Library Manager, this is the file-> control Rebuild. In versions later it is under the menu library.)

    This will create a completely new library. It will then copy (or try) your photos and all associated metadata and versions to this library and as close as possible to what you had in the damaged library fix it. It does this based on the information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but it means that things not shared won't be there, so no slide shows, books or calendars, for example - but it should recover all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places.

    Because this process creates a completely new library and does not change your old, it is non-destructive, and if you are not satisfied with the result, you can simply go back to your old.

  • Image capture will delete everything?

    Capture images on Mac is a convenient and popular tool to delete photos on your iPhone.

    But when I start IC, what I see is a single mass of photos assigned to my phone. No albums or other ways to organize photos visible on the phone itself are visible here.

    So the question is, if bulk - delete you photos to the help of IC, who is also going to delete things from your phone as Favorites or other albums, you either created on the phone or that have been created by another application (for example Instagram)?

    EDIT:

    I confirmed that the removal of a photo by IC will remove other albums on the phone in addition to the camera. I tested with the Instagram album open on my phone when deleting an image in IC I know has been stored via Instagram. Of course, he immediately disappeared for the phone album. Bad luck.

    The bottom line is I'm emptying my camera, but I don't want things to disappear from the others, these albums more carefully organized on the phone.

    It can only access the photos and videos from the camera to roll. Items further albums cannot be manipulated by Capture images or Photos.
