Photo library way too big

ive delet almost all the photos from my iPad, and yet the photo library is still 4.1GB?  How so?  The deleted photos album is empty - so are my photos being stored somewhere secretly?

Hi Joseph,
This appears to be a bug in the way that the Recently Deleted photos are being aged off of the device.
txforever found this solution:
1.     Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and change your date back to 9/1/2014
2.     Go to the Photos app and select the Recently Deleted album (even though it says "0")
3.     You should see the aged-off Recently Deleted photos. Delete them manually and see if that resolves your issue
Cheers,
GB

  • IPhoto library way too big

    iPhone 4S
    Using iOS 8.02
    Hoping to upgrade to 8.1
    The iPhone tells me I have not enough space. Looking at Manage Storage, I'm told my Photo Library is 5.7 GB in size. I have exactly 14 photos in there -- no videos. I did delete a lot of videos just recently and also restarted the iPhone. Is there a temporary trash directory that I have to empty or something?
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    When you're thinking of updating the system, the system is saying how much space you need generally in your phone. Meaning you need 4.6GB or whatever the amount in total of free space throughout your phone. This could include photos, videos, messages, the amount of apps you have and their separate data, web data, and etc. almost anything counts, so just keep deleting until you achieve the acquired amount of free space for the update. Hope this helps!

  • Can't backup: Photo Library size too big

    Hey gang,
    I've got about 20 pictures on my phone but it keeps saying that I've got 1.4GB of data in iPhoto when I go in to manage my backups. How can I get it to display the accurate photo information. My phone will NOT Back up and I don't have anywhere near 1.4GB. It's like it's trying to FORCE me to upgrade my iCloud storage and it's unfair.
    Any input appreciated, thanks,
    Dan P.

    What version of iPhoto?

  • Safari font specifically in Google search is way too BIG

    The font in Google search is way too big. Only in Google. Other websites show normal fonts. Did someone encounter such problem? Please help me! Thank you!

    Hello How Goes It,
    select the cells you want to have no margin and choose the text inspector of the infopalette and the text tab button. At the bottom is a slider and a number field. There you can adjust the margin thickness.

  • What are solutions for a way-too-big database?

    Hi guys!
    I'm a software developer and not very good in database designing. One day, I was asked something like this :
    "For example, there is a company with a web application. One day, the database for that application is way too big, caused performance issues and others, what is the solution for that application database?"
    At first, I thought that was about using multiple database with single app. But I don't know if I was right.
    I want to ask that what are the solutions? If it's "multiple database" then what should I do? Using two connection to 2 database simutaneously?
    I appreciate any replies. Thanks!

    Thanks Lubiez Jean-Val... for your links.
    I've got some more advices like :
    - "transferring workload to another database using different techniques to copy the data from original db"
    - "redesign of the database"
    So that means we use 2 different databases?Sometimes it is deemed desirable to keep only fairly recent data on the OLTP database, where the normal transaction activity happens, and replicate the data to another database that also contains historical data. This second database is used for heavy reporting tasks.
    And "redesign"?As in, design it from scratch and do it right this time. Make sure all data relations are properly defined to Third Normal Form; make sure all data is typed properly (use DATE columns for dates, NUMBER columns for numbers, etc); make sure you have designed effective indexing; make sure you use the capabilities of the rdbms and do NOT just use it as a data dump.
    See http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Oracle-Design-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0072230657/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301257486&sr=1-3
    are they really good solutions?Like most everything else, "It depends"
    It depends on if the proposed solutions are implemented properly and address the root problem. The root problem (or even perceived problem) hasn't yet been defined. You've just assumed that at some undefined point the database becomes "way-too-big" and will cause some sort of problem.
    It's assumed that we don't have or can't use partitioning.
    And why is that assumed? Yes, you have to have a version of Oracle that supports it, and it is an extra cost license. But like everything else, you and your management have to do a hard-nosed cost/benefit analysis. You may think you can't afford the cost of implementing partitioning, but it may be that you can't afford the expenses derived from NOT implementing it. I don't know what the case is for you, but you and your management should consider the factors instead of just rejecting in out of hand.

  • Can a library be too big to share?

    I just upgraded to Windows 7 (32 bit) and had to reinstall iTunes (don't know if that is the real issue). My home networked sharing library shows up up however when I select the library to share iTunes thinks for a bit then goes back to the apple icon (like it times out or something). I used to be able to share a library from one computer to another on my home network. I have gone to the computer that has my entire library on it and again I can see my laptop library (which is empty) and seam to be able to access it. Can a library be too big to share?

    Hi
    Not really understanding - but anyway
    .swf - have no idea what that is
    .mov - Is NO Video-Codec - but a Container (sort of folder) and can hold Video-Codecs that iMovie can use or not.
    Open the .mov - with QuickTime-player (as it can open so many more)
    open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
    Video Format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Frames per second : YY.yy
    WHAT does they read ?
    iMovie has one very bad thing going - It tries to open Video-Codecs that it really can not use - so all kind of strange behaviors can occur. No Sound / Only Sound no picture etc.
    So knowing the true Video-Codec IS VERY IMPORTANT.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I have 1250 songs, a few videos in my ITunes library. I tried to synch with my IPhone 3g last night but it said my library is too big. Is that true?

    I have about 1250 songs and a few music videos in my ITunes library. Last night I tried to synch with my IPhone 3G but I got a message that my library is too big to synch it all. Is that true? How many songs can fit on an IPhone 3G. Thanks for any help.

    Look down at the bottom of your Itunes player and check the total size of your library. If the gigs are more than what your iphone will hold that error message will pop up. My suspicion is it that you have some very large video files and those take up a lot of space. To get more room, delete some of those video files and covert your music files to 128, if larger. Then resync your iphone. Also if you are using .wav files, covert those to mp3 @ 128

  • Imported pictures are HUGE.  Way too big.  How do I reduce JPEG size?

    Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

  • How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
    I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
    Can someone help me get this fixed?

    This isn't the best way for it.
    Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
    It is very match for me by using 125%.
    But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
    that was a mess.
    And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

  • The "other" memory section on my Mac is WAY too big.

    Hey everyone!
    I know there are a LOT of discussions about this topic, but none of them really seemed to work for me. So the other day I got an error saying "Your startup disk is almost full". I immediately checked the storage section of "About my Mac", and sure enough, something like 100 GB were taken up by local backups. To fix this issue, I disabled local backups via this terminal command: sudo tmutil disablelocal.
    I did a restart and checked my storage again. This time, it looked like this (and still does):
    All of what used to be backups is now other. And the reason I have those 900 or so MB of backups is because I eventually turned those on again (with the reverse of the above command) in an effort to fix this. Out of options, I then went to the apple store, where they told me to just delete stuff that was too big. So I got a 1 TB drive and started copying and deleting stuff. The main thing I got rid of was a giant windows VM I had. And just to prove that something's wrong here, look at the breakdown of my files from OmniDiskSweeper:
    If you do the math, I should have about 100 GB more free than I do now. I've tried:
    Turning the thing off then on (you'd be surprised how often that works)
    Resetting the PRAM
    Forcing spotlight to reindex the machine
    Throwing the machine out the window (well, not quite)
    What I think might be the cause:
    This is a stab in the dark here, but possibly all those GB of backups tried to delete themselves and somehow corrupted and aren not called backups anymore by the system?
    Just one more thing: I noticed that OmniDiskSweeper showed a volume I don't recognize. It's called MobileBackups. Maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'll appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    Although the guide is a little dated, a lot of the information there is really great and helps you track down a lot of files that are just taking up way too much space on your hard drive.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
    I just did this the other day on my Air running 10.9 and recovered around 50GB of disk space, so there is potentially a lot you can do. I suggest following the steps on this guide (to the T, don't want to mess anything up) and go from there. Don't delete ANYTHING that you are not aware of the function, and remember that searching for names of files is a great way to determine whether or not you need it. Some files that SEEM like junk and take up a considerable amount of space are system files that will either be replaced the next time you boot up or render you computer useless entirely.
    For example, there is a file that saves the state of your computer just before it goes to sleep so that it can return quickly when you start up again, and that file is normally the size of the amount of RAM you have (I have 4GB of RAM, so the file was 4GB). After doing some research, this file will either be recreated if deleted, or your sleep mode will not be able to function properly if the file is deleted. So again, just tread lightly.
    Also, there is an application I used to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files that I had on my drive called Gemini (http://macpaw.com/gemini), which I recommend using to clean up documents. Again, be careful, you don't want to go deleting files that you are using that the application mistook for a duplicate.
    Hope this helps!

  • Photo Library taking too much space

    my photo library is currently taking up 361 mb with 0 photos or videos in it. I wanted to be able to download some apps so im wondering how i can clear this space seeing that there is nothing that should be taking it up. I have a 8gb iphone 4s ios 8

    I have the same problem... but the photo library is neither on my iPhone or my Computer!! Please help.. its taking too much space.

  • Issue syncing artwork: on-device DB is WAY too big!

    I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
    iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
    iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
    A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
    See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

  • All fonts in the toolbars are way too big after unplugging my laptop from a projector

    When I plugged in a projector to my laptop (2010 MacBook Pro) all icons & fonts on my laptop went huge!
