If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.

Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.

I have a lot of duplicate songs on my iPhone 4--Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicates?

Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicate songs on an IPhone 4?

A belated hello. On the topic of duplicate songs / tracks showing up in, say, your iPhone Music app but not in your iTunes Library, with these versions installed ....
iTunes 10.5
iPhone 4 running on iOS 5
.... I discovered this too. This is what I did:
1. purchased full album from the iTunes Store
(once download completed, album magically showed up in iPhone Music app, as expected, without having to sync)
2. I then went to my iTunes Music view and edited the album year (Multiple Item Information)
3. Synced
4. All album tracks showed up in duplicate in iPhone Music app (but not in iTunes view)
Solution:
1. in iTunes, I changed back the album year to the one iTunes Store originally downloaded
2. Re-synced
3. Now all album tracks show up but no longer in duplicate in iPhone Music app
Lesson learned: When purchasing music from iTunes Store, leave metadata untouched.

Should I delete preview files to save space on my hard drive?

Should I delete preview files to save sapce on my hard drive? At times the program crashes and I wonder whether I should get rid of these files to make more space.

PCNoviceMesa
Yes.
If you run a SD project (whether you render stills or videos) and render, you are going to get DV AVI files automatically generated. If it is a HD project, rendering deposits MPEG2.mpg files on your hard drive (whether you render stills or videos). We are talking possibly GB amounts of files if you let them pile up long enough. For Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, these preview files are by default in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0 and in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder there.
First let us see how much is piled up there before we take action against them.
If the preview files there are part of an existing project or projects, the consequence of deleting those files is that you will have to render again that content in the project to get the best possible preview. If the preview files represent project long since gone, good riddance.
Please check out the situation. And, then we can discuss also pile ups of conformed video and conformed audio files.
More later.

Is there a way for Itunes to scan your library to see which songs are missing the original files? I'd like to mass delete songs to save space on my hard drive.

Other than just attempting to play the song I'm not sure of any way to do it.

I have only synced a device on a single occasion in my life. Doesn't it say something about how many songs will transfer?
The laptop is supposed to be the master repository for everything on the iPod and they are designed to be in sync.
You can check the Dougscripts web site. There's all kinds of goodies there but I don't know if the extend to something like this. There's also third party software but again I don't know if it goes to that detail. People usually use it when they are trying to rescue content for a non-backed-up computer.

How do I permanently delete parts of my original video footage that I don't use for editing purposes? i.e. to save space on my hard drive.

Hi - I cant' seem to find how to permanently delete the video footage that is rubbish - can anyone help?

Hi ATR
Here is the answer of Mediainfo:
In Quicktime, what I did after trimming, was just click on "save" and not change any settings. If I click "export" instead of "save", I get the following options:
1080p...
720p...
480p...
iPad, iPhone iPad touch & Apple TV...
Audio only...
iTunes.....
Yes, If I go to Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, I see QuickTime presets listed there, I was using these successfully all the time with my Sony camera files.
And, when I drag these .mov to the project's Timeline, there is no orange line over it. (If I add the clip out if the Sony camera, there is).
Please find here one of the trimmed files that are causing the problem:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ah4x3iagvntub8t/Canon_Trimmed.mov?dl=0
One more thing I have to mention- if I take the whole AVCHD file from the SD card directly to the project (without using QuickTime at all), it gives me the message, "This file type is not supported or requires a not installed codec" (sorry I'm translating from German).
If I import the AVCHD file with the software that came with the camera (Data Import Utility), it creates a folder with all the separate mts files. If I import one of those with "add media", it tells me something like "While importing there has occured a general error".
Thank you so much for your help!

Why isn't there an easy way to add a photo to photoStream from the finder?

Apple makes it easy to share your photo with Twitter, FB, Flickr, etc. Why not Photo Stream? As far as I know, the only way to add a photo to photo stream is to open iPhoto and then add the photo to that. This seems to be a very poor way of quickly adding a photo.

If you have a suggestion make it here: Apple Feedback. This is the wrong venue.

How do I save space in my hard drive when importing pictures into lightroom

Hi, I keep my images in one internal drive and I have light room in my main drive. When I import pictures from the other internal drive, am I taking up space in my main drive which has limited space. I only want to keep the applications, such as lightroom in one drive and store my images in the other drive. I do not want to duplicate the images and use up my limited space in the main drive that has my operating system and applications

HT4906 Is there an easy way to put my photos in the cloud to manage my storage?

Can someone help me to manage my photos by putting them in the cloud? I'm a bit confused, as to how it happens? Thank you.

No - that is nothing to do with iCloud - it is a way to transfer photos between devices, backup IOS devices and share photos
You must have your photos actually stored on a local hard drive - you may need an external hard drive if you have lots of photos

HT1751 I successfully captured a recent itunes library, but then all the songs have "!" marks next to them and won't play. I have thousands of songs in multi folders of my external hard drive, surely there is a way to auto locate all songs on my hard driv

My desktop PC recently crashed and I'm trying to recapture all of my iTunes library playlist and songs. I was able to successfully capture the library, however when I tried to play a song, all have the exclamation mark "!" on them and ask that I locate the song. I successfully located some, but there has to be an automatic way to do this, rather than finding each one. I have thousands of songs located in multiple folders of my exteernal hard drive and need a way to find all songs automatically. Can someone help? Thanks!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

After having my hard drive replaced, I tried restoring files from time machine. The restore completed but I don't know where the files were restored to. I can see they are taking up space on my hard drive but I can't get at them.

My hard drive failed and so was replaced, luckily everything was backed up on time machine.
I tried to do a full restore, and it went through the process but I couldn't see my files anywhere on the HD. I tried again and same thing. Eventually I used Migration Assistant and this worked fine.
However my hard drive is now full - all my previous restores went somewhere but I can't get at them.
Can anyone please help, I need to delete them from my system.
Thanks

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

I have found a Much easier way to find Which Universe a report is based on.

A few weeks ago I asked the question of how to find out which Universe a specific report was based on. I got many VERY involved answers that did work, they involved using the query builder and writing down a very long id then running that through the query builder and you evenutally got your answer.
Then easy way is to open the report in desigenr, Go to the database expert, right click on query1 or what ever you named your query and chose edit command, scroll to the top of the fields colunm and the universe is listed at the top.
If you want to know the connection used by the universe, simply open it up in Central Management Console and the connection used will be listed on the properties page.

Hello Jeff,
I'm heartened you've found an easier method to find the Universe used in a Crystal Report appropriate for your deployment.
One of the issues with the Query Panel is that it doesn't display the folder under which the Universe if found, problematic when you have a deployment with same-named Universes in different folders. Using the CUID value is recommended if so, since it does not change with deployment, migration or name change.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Is there an easy way to find out if the GPIB/ENET adapter is connected to the computer?

I'm using Component Works for Visual Basic and have no problem with my software on computers with PCMCIA GPIB adapters. The GPIB driver seems to know if the adapter is in the computer or not.
When my software is used on a computer where the GPIB/ENET adapter is not powered on, the software seems to lock up but eventually comes back with an error. Since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine if an adapter is present my code just assumes it's there, which doesn't work with the GPIB/ENET GPIB dll. Is there any way I can look for the board before querying for instuments on the bus?

Hello David,
One possible solution would be to ping the ENET box. If you know the IP of the box, a simple ping should immediatly let you know the status of the box.

Is there an easy way to find out the type of an input parameter

Hi guys, I'm writing a function that receives a large string and I have to split it in several smaller fields, some string, some date and some numeric. Is there a function similar to "isnumeric" or "isdate" that will help me check on the type of data being entered? Tks in advance.

Hi,
>>Is there a function similar to "isnumeric" or "isdate" that will help me check on the type of data being entered?
Humm, like Delphi's functions? ;-) I think that 3360's solution is very interesting. By the way, check this below:

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine makes local snapshots in all portable Macs with Lion or Mountain Lion. They are made in the internal drive and they are removed when your hard disk gets full, so you don't have to worry about it.
If you want to delete them, turn off Time Machine and turn it on every time you want to make a backup. You can also turn them off manually without having to turn off Time Machine, or you can delete those local snapshots > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

Is there an easy way to remove photos from iPhoto in the organizer?

I had been using iPhoto, but quit when I started using Photoshop Elements. With version 9, it imported not only photos in my pictures but those in iPhoto. So I have hundreds of duplicates I need to remove from the organizer. Is there an easy way to find the ones from iPhoto so I can remove them?

OK, but is there a way to search/filter on a string in the location (i.e. iPhoto) so I could then easily know which are the duplicates I want to delete?
If there isn't, then it seems that I will have to delete the catalog and start from scratch again. I had originally thought I didn't include iPhoto in the folders to search, but apparently it was somehow included so I will have to be more granular in what folders to search if I recreate the catalog again.

If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?
