Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files? Because iCloud is seeming like it actually doesn't back up anything.. Just clogs up all storage space on every device with duplicate images/videos. I am looking for a delete when backed up feature. Does that exist?

and division of tasks under a strict policy set by management,
Dreamweaver will work very well for your purposes. You
shouldn’t have to lock and unlock files manually since the
check in-check out function will do it for you nicely. When you are
satisfied that all is well with the site or particular pages, then
someone in a managing position can release or authorize release to
the live site.
The problem is that I am the only person using
DW in the organization, everyone else is using Frontpage...blah...
You and Murray have both alluded to a separate "testing"
server. Perhaps I can make this system work by setting up the
testing server as a duplicate of the development server in my site
manager. Then I would have to manually publish the files from the
testing server to the live production server myself. What a pain!!!
I can not believe that I am the only person in the world that has a
setup like this -- it seems very common to me. I would assume most
government organizations are set up identically as us.

ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways. Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

Is there a way to DELETE the local mac library after iCloud upload?

I've uploaded 75GB of photos to iCloud, and would now LOVE to reclaim that space in my meagre 250 GB Mac Book Pro.
Now that I've paid my iClouds photo subscription, is there a way to delete the local Photos library and reclaim that space?
FYI the "optimized" version is 72 GB.
Thanks,

Just for clarity, I am not referring to the iPhotos library. I am referring to the newly created Photos library. Since I plan not to use iPhoto and Aperture anymore, I am moving the iPhotos old library to an external HD. My question is whether I can delete the newly created Photos library from my hard drive since I'm paying for online storage and have successfully imported 75 GB of photos to iCloud.

HT201302 If i delete photos on my iphone after they have been downloaded to my mac will they be sync and delete on my computer??? Silly question??? HELP ; )

I have connected my iphone to my mac and my photos have been transfered.... The option to delete my photos on my phone has come up....If i go ahead and delete the photos on my phone will my photos on my ipad be deleted? I guess my question is will i loose those photos in any way when i delete them from my iphone? Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "backed to your Mac." If you have just done a backup of the phone to the Mac via iTunes, then you should NOT delete them from your phone since the only way you would be able to access the photos would be by doing a complete restore of the backup to the phone and that would wipe out anything more current on the phone.
If you copied the photos to your Mac via a USB cord as described in Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can safely delete the photos from the phone. Note that you should be sure to have a good backup plan in place for your Mac so that if something were to happen to it you wouldn't lose the photos.
If the photos were sent to iPhoto via Photo Stream you can delete them from the phone if you are certain that the photos have been copied from the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto into the Library - Events section of iPhoto. That can be done manually or you can open iPhoto and go to the menu named iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > and insure that there is a checkmark in front of Automatic Import.

While it is not possible to directly print your iTunes account purchase history within the iTunes Store, you can take a screnshot of your purchase history on your computer, and then print that screenshot.
The following article explains how to review your purchase history:

Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
Details are here: http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite. If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck? What error messages do you see?

Photos showing in memory after they have been deleted

I have an iPhone 5s and have synced photos in iTunes to import my photos, and then deleted a few hundred pics.
Currently, my phone shows that I have 116 pictures, and 0 video - but when check usage, it shows 15.9GB still being used by photos.
I have connected the phone to my computer and in iTunes done a backup, and a restore iPhone. This did not correct the issue.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thank you in advance.

In most cases, no. Unless you are experiencing a specific problem with an app, you really don't need to close anything. Should you need to, pvonk explained it nicely.
Best of luck.

Don't use iCloud to back up your photos or you will lose them. Instead, import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then delete them from your iPad if you wish to free up space.

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have? Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess. If you did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode to remove passcode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost if you do not have backup.

I need help! I installed icloud on my computer, uploaded photos, my computer crashed and now my ipad runs slow b/c there are too many photos. Is there a way to delete photos from my ipad (right now, I can click on the photos but not delete)?

What options do I have? Will purchasing more storage help? Can I change control from my PC to my ipad if I can't use my computer anymore?

You can import your photos and videos in the Camera Roll on your iPad to your work computer using you usb cable, then delete them from your iPad by following the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you also have photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll that you want to save, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too. To do this, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. After importing them you can delete them from your iPad if you want by tapping Edit again, tapping the photos, then tapping Delete.
Once they are on your work computer, you can transfer them to a USB memory stick if you cannot leave them there.
Any photos on your iPad that were synced from your computer can be salvaged by using an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your work computer over wifi. (They can't be saved to the camera roll and imported with your usb cable like photos in the camera roll.) Deleting these photos from your iPad will require using iTunes. Once you have your own computer again and can install iTunes, you can delete these remaining photos by creating an empty folder on your computer, then selecting this folder to sync to your iPad on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Is there a way to copy photos to iphoto library AFTER they are imported?

Hi!
When I switch from PC to Mac I was reluctant to let iphoto manage my photos. After becoming a HUGE fan of the mac (iphone etc!) I decided I was ready to let go of that power I thought I needed! I read that I could check to have the photos copied to the library when they're imported, but now I'd like to do that for those already imported. I tried creating a new library and reimporting, but my keywords were from an older library I had for some reason. I must have written the keywords to the pictures back then, but not in my most recent library? Anyway, could I now convert to the way I should have imported in the 1st place?

You seem to have some problems with repeating keys - especially with the ‘?’ and ‘!’. You may need to get that looked at.
I downloaded the manager, held down Option and Command while launching iPhoto and then checked all.
Holding the Option and Command keys when launching iPhoto invokes +iPhoto’s own rebuild command+ so you haven’t actually used iPhoto Library Manager.
8. I did use a program called Name Mangler in the past to rename groups of pictures. iPhoto had been fine. This was before I replaced the shortcuts with the real files. I'm not sure if this was one of those I had renamed. Could a file be internally store differently than what we see in Finder?
If you renamed the files, then iPhoto lost track of them. Why? Because the alias in the Library lost the original file it pointed to - because you renamed it. The when you tried to use AliasHerder it couldn’t resolve the alias to replace it with the actual file.
I made a new library and tried the manual rebuild instructions I found online but ended up in same boat as when I imported all from scratch...wrong keywords!
I’m not sure what you did here but if you did a manual rebuild you would end up with +no keywords+.
Because of this issue with renaming the files I think you need to start over again with a new Library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars, faces, places 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. As you import +Make sure that you do not import any alias files+.
Then go back to where ever you stored the files before and find those re-named files and import those.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
Regards
