Clearing out to gain storage for new photos

I've recently purchased PSE 8 with the 2 GB online storage. Have deleted almost 300 MB and each time I finish deleting pictures, the available space is less. How do I clean out the storage space.

I have the same question - but am not an early adaptor and am a grandmother, so I'm asking more basic questions. You say "just Restore it" in itunes. Is there some sort of functionality on my itunes library regarding restoring my old ipod for a new owner? Will the new owner need to set up as a new user in order to start their own itunes library? How can I delete my settings/set up on the old ipod so the new user doesn't get access to my itunes library? Any assistance is appreciated.

ICloud storage for new photos app

iI've just updated Yosemite and the new photos app is asking me to upgrade my storage, now if I do this will it upload all my photos on my iMac to the cloud including external drives connected to my iMac?

Are you certain?
From Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support
"If you change your System Photo Library, the contents of this new library will be merged with the contents already in iCloud."
But presumably this merge is two-way i.e. the contents already in iCloud will then be merged into the new System Photo Library? It's not clear, but that's how I understand it.
In any case, http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/comments/announcing_powerphotos may well offer library merging in a post 1.0 release.

My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos?

My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. Thanks

Hey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Trying to figure out how to clear out the spool area for my HP printer on my 2009 IMac?

HP advised that I should clear out the spool area for my printer. How do I do this?

Hi patricia m.
I'm sorry to hear that you are encountering difficulties in clearing the spool area for your printer. It is rather "windows-centric" language as Mike indicated. I believe that HP Support would have been referring to resetting your printing system and I have included a document on how to do that.
If you find after resetting your printing system that issue hasn't been corrected, please post some additional information and I would enjoy helping you resolve things. I would need to know what model/product number of HP Printer you have, the version of Mac you are running, how the printer is connected (wireless, USB) and the issue you have encountered.

Is it safe to update iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.5.1 or should I just wait for new Photos app with OS X Yosemite ?

iPhoto has always been slow and less than reliable to use. Have never updated it because of concerns with updates. Will current pics in iPhoto get transferred to new Photos app with OS X Yosemite somehow or will I be stuck using both apps?

I do experience slowness/unresponsiveness and freezing in iPhoto,
Two points:
1. These sound like a damaged Library file and you might try repairing it.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
and from reading numerous posts, I am quite certain that many users have had similar experiences.
The problem with this is that the folks who don't have any problems never post, so you're working from a skewed sample.

Duplicate eliminator for new Photos

Is it safe to use duplicate eliminators designed for iPhoto on the new PHOTOS? ANy recommendations?

I only know of two duplicate finders for Photos:
Power photos http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/ or Introducing : Duplicate Annihilator for Photos http://brattoo.com/propaganda/
Both tools are the successors to highly recommended tools for iPhoto, and the developers have been very reliable.

How to use iphoto after yosemite 10.10.3, that have disabled it for new photo app?

My iMac did install new yosemite 10.10.3 telling me that new Photo app was "best ever" but now I can't open old iPhoto library because it was in old format of iPhoto library and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??

and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??
Which version of iPhoto do you have installed? With Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10.3, you need to update iPhoto to version 9.6.1. Only that version is fully compatible.
Apple stopped selling iPhoto, but anyone who bought iPhoto from the AppStore or updated it to a version sold at the App Store (iPhoto 9.4.5 or later) will be able to reinstall from the App Store by downloading from the Purchases tab.
If you have any version of iPhoto, that has been updated from the AppStore and is associated with your Apple ID, try to reinstall from the "Purchases" page.
Unhide iPhoto, if it is hidden on your Purchases page (See this link: Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases)
Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash.
Reload your Purchases page at the App Store with ⌘R
Then download from that page.
The step "Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash." must not be skipped. If Spotlight sees a version of iPhoto installed, the AppStore will try to update instead of reinstall, which does not work.

Need more storage for music/photo/dv film

I own a MacBookPro, AirPort Time Capsule and PC/laptops with windows xp and 7/8. We all share a printer using the TimeCapsule. But; I need ekstra storage for my pictures and our music. (all stored in my Mac) I would love to move our CD collection and DVD colletion too - but that is not the main issue. I need space to save all my pictures and video/films. I have read you could use parts of the TimeCapsule as an external harddisk but it is not recommended. I do use backup elsewhere as well - JottaCloud - but would like to keep it stored inhouse - for easy access when I have the time to edit pictures and make imovies ie. But what kind of external harddisk should I get?? Please advice.

Travis,
Two things. Apple lossless files are huge in comparison to compressed files such as mp3 or aac. You should convert those lossless files to either mp3 or aac at a bit rate of (say) 160kbps. This will reduce the amount of space used on your computer. Once you've done this, delete the lossless files.
VBR mp3 isn't a hard drive, it's a compression format, and VBR means variable bit rate.
See this.

Can anyone help? I've just got my new iphone 6. I'm restoring from the icloud but it's saying there's not enough storage for my photos....and I'm unable to access any images. Help appreciated

Hi,
I've just moved on from an iphone 5 to an iphone 6.
I'm now on my second attempt at restoring it through the icloud.
My photos and videos are unavailable and it keeps saying I'm low on storage. At this stage it just keeps saying it's updating but it's been saying that for 8 hours and I still don;t have any photos available....any advice appreciated. It's getting a little frustating
Thanks,
Emma

The backup cannot be restored to the iPhone if there is not enough storage space available.

Central storage for family photos

My wife and I have seperate apple IDs however I have setup family sharing. To gain space on our iPads, iPhones I recently purchased a 200gb storage plan. Fantastic all my photos are on the cloud and accessible from any of my devices.
I want to share this storage with my wife so we have a central place for all our family photos.
Question:
1. Is it possible to share storage space for photos?
2. If the answer to the above is no, how would people recommend we manage our photo storage so everything is stored in a single location to view on devices?
thanks in advance.

icloud backs up everything on your iOS5 device to the cloud, but there is no way of accesing this stuff directly. Its only for emergency cases to restore your device from the web.
idisk is no more, so you can't use iCloud as space for files . You can only sync or manually upload iwork09 comaptible office files ( using a browser at icloud.com/iwork ) . , this feature is only available if you have iOS pages,numbers or keynote installed. Again : no other files are storeable by yourself.
Gallery and Homepage is no more , you can't share Pictures or Videos with anyone else but yourself :
Photostream is only streaming your recent pictures across your devices that use the same Apple-ID. Videos are NOT included at all in the stream.
icloud is in no way what MobileMe was. If you look for features of MM, you must search outside of Apple.

Icloud storage for new phone

I just switched from the 4s to the 5s and on the 4s I had bought additional icloud storage but now the 5s says I dont have enough storage to backup. I can;t imagine I need to pay another $20 to upgrade because I switched phone but not sure how I switch to the new phone so I can back up.
Thanks

Be sure you are using the same Apple iD for iCloud that you used on the old device. Did you remove the old device backups from iCloud?

Best project storage for new pros?

I have a new MacBook pro with retina display on its way (2 more weeks!), and was wondering what people would say for the best setup for fcpx. It's the 2.6ghz and I upgraded it to 16gigs of ram out of fear and the hard drive is a ssid at 562 gigs (or close to it).
I'm concerned about filling up the drive fast so I'm thinking I'll:
1): either go back to using a scratch disk via USB 3 or FireWire 800.
2): rrun current project on the machine and archive all the associated folders for the project to my drobo when I'm done with the project.
Thanks for any advice,

The equipment you require depends on the type of editing you need to do.
If you are making family and holiday type films or otherwise comparatively simple ones with no more than 2 or 3 tracks of video, an hour or so of footage and no urgent deadlines, you will probably find that the computer on its own will cope quite well.
So the best advice is to wait and see.
If you find the computer alone does everything you require in your chosen time-frame, that's all you need.
If you stock up on everything you might want and then find you don't need it, you will have wasted a load of cash.
Over the years, on these forums I have seen people advise others to get the top of the range MacPros, max them out and buy every other conceivable performance accessory when all the enquirer wanted was something to edit his family videos on.
So find out what you actually need by using the basic equipment for a bit.

How do I clear out the messages storage content?

When I look under storage I see 1.1 gig set for messages / deleted messages. How do I free up this used and allocated space?

Hello rayfromdouble oak
You would need to go to your Messages app and delete the conversations that you have had in the past that are no longer needed on your iPhone.

Problems swapping out old Base Station for New ABE802.11n

I purchased a new AirPort Extreme w/ 802.11n to replace my old dome shaped base station extreme but have been unable to get new AirPort to work. Network is set up as follows: DSL modem connects to base station to create a wireless network. Ethernet port out of basestation connects to wired network. An AExpress located in another part of house connects to network via ethernet and is also set to create a wireless network with identical name, password as one created by Base Station, thereby extending the range of the wireless network (and allowing streaming of iTunes over in-house stereo system).
This set up worked perfectly with the old dome base station, but I have been unable to get new AirPort to create a functioning wireless network. It creates the network, but is then unable to connect to the internet. The wired network is working, and the AExpress portion of the wireless network is working, so I know its not my DSL connection.
Things I have tried: setting up the new APExtreme with the configuration file from the old base station (fail), setting the new APExtreme up as a new network, with new name (fail), turning off the AExpress and creating a new network with the APExtreme (fail). In every instance I get a network, but am unable to connect to the internet. The DSL modem is assigning IP addresses, so I've set the APExtreme up in bridge mode, although I tried the other DHCP settings and using PPPoE option, also with no luck.
Any guidance or insights would be appreciated.

Nevermind - I got it to work by changing from bridge mode to having the Base Station assign IP addresses. Airport Utility says that this is a problem, but I now have a fully functional wireless network.

Trying to find the syntax to clear nameIn text to refresh for new input

function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
addChild(myText);
myText.text = nameIn.text + myText.text + " .";

myText1.text = "JJ is in total agreement with you, YAHOO! ";
myText.text = " Is admiting she is very nice";

What you have...
nameIn.text = myClear;
should work if that is all you are trying to do.
