Aperture library needs too much space?

Hi, tried to import my iPhoto library with 63 GB into Aperture. Aperture says it will need 313 GB. Is that normal?
Is there a difference between just opening my iPhoto library with Aperture or importing it?
Thanks for answers, greetings from Munich

Hi bernd,
I assume you have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3?
Aperture says it will need 313 GB. Is that normal?
Unfortunately it has happened, but it is not normal There probably is something wrong with your libraries.
Is there a difference between just opening my iPhoto library with Aperture or importing it?
Yes, there is. when you are browsing an iPhoto Library from Aperture, the Aperture will not convert the library. But when you import it, then Aperture needs additional space to rebuild the iPhoto items as Aperture items, but not 5 times the size of the original library.
I would turn off anything that need additional space, like faces, previews, when importing. Also I would suggest to rebuild both libraries before uniting them with the Library First Aid tools.
Lauch Aperture with the ⌥⌘-keys hold down and rebuild the Aperture Library, and do the same with the iPhoto Library. (I assume your iPhoto Library already has been converted to 9.3 format?).
Back up both libraries, before you try the import.
Regards
Léonie

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.

ITunes thinks I need too much space

Itunes 8.3 + OS3.0
For some reason, iTunes thinks I need 21GB for my songs when I try to sync, but they only consume 6GB (reported by iTunes at the bottom of the screen). If I select the checkbox to only sync checked items, then the sync works correctly.
Can anybody suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks, but the 'Other' is not shown on iTunes. I'm sure there used to be some.
But, like I say, I've selected all my songs and syncing selected items works. It's only if I choose to sync all (which I'm surely doing by selecting all) that I have a problem.
I have tried a restore too.

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

I selected manually manage music for my iTouch yet it keeps trying to sync to my entire music library. I do not want that as it is taking up too much space. How can I stop my iTouch from continuing to try and sync so I can manually manage my music?

How do I get my iTouch to manually manage my music? I selected manually manage, yet every time I hook my iTouch to my computer, it attempts to sync and load my entire library. I do not want the entire library as it takes up too much space and I don't want all of those songs on my iTouch. What am I missing? What else can I do?

Oops, sorry, I think you probably already did what I suggested (turning off auto synch).
I have the same question - how to synch, say, just one playlist.
There is an option to synch only things that are checked. But everything (in every playlist and item, is checked and there doesn't appear to be a box to "uncheck all", nor can you check each playlist individually.

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk.

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD). But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message. I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
Thank you!

While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up? I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr.

How do I remove the Icons next to each bookmark on the bookmark toolbar? They take up too much space and all the bookmarks I need on the toolbar dont show up.

On my bookmarks toolbar, each bookmark has the associated webpage icon next to it. I would like to remove those icons, as they take up too much space.
Thanks

The icons, if you are familiar with them or they are obvious, take up less space than the words. You can abbreviate the names down to next to nothing or even nothing.
To save space and help organization you can group bookmarks into folders on your Bookmarks toolbar.

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I'd like to keep some of my favorite pictures on the laptop while moving the rest to an external hard drive. Is there a way to tag just a few pictures inside an event/album as "favorite", while storing the rest in an EHD, but still keep them connected to the same event/album? I'd like to have just the favorite pictures on the laptop, but when I have the EHD connected, be able to view all my pictures in the same place, and not have to browse through separate hard drives. Ideally, whether or not a picture is designated as "favorite" will determine where it resides.
Is this at all possible?
I have only 7 GB left on my HD and I'm desperately needing a solution!
Thanks!

You need two libraries to do this. One on the external with all your Photos. One on the internal with a subset - your favourites. You do it this way to make backing up easier - that is, back up the library with everything, so you're only backing up one.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events/albums/photos you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Apps taking up too much space on my computer harddrive?

Hi guys,
Whenever I hook my iPad & iPhone up to iTunes it automatically starts to upload all of the apps from both devices onto my computer. This wouldn't be such a problem, but between the iPhone and the iPad, it takes up around 40 GB of space from apps all by themselves. I store music/videos on an external harddrive so I'm not completely starved for harddrive space but I was wondering if someone could tell me what I can do to keep my iPad/iPhone apps from eating up too much space on my computer?
Seems like I should be able to avoid having the iPhone/iPad (I use both) upload and backup all of my apps to my computer through iTunes but I also tried doing a backup straight ti iCloud and it didn't do the trick.
Does anyone have any answers on this please? Thanks.

400 apps taking up 13.6Gb so I get an estimate of 1,175 (wow I have some bulky apps!) but 40Gb sounds like quite a haul.
A couple of things come to mind. First is that occasionally iTunes can neglect to delete the old copy when apps are updated so you could have some orphaned files in your Mobile Applications folder.
Second, your apps should be stored in the same location as your music and movies but I'm guessing from what you've written that they're not. This means you are likely to have a split library with the database and supporting files on your internal drive and media in another folder, but in the old school layout. Assuming you are happy letting iTunes organize your files (and you have a backup) using File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>, followed by File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files will sort that out. You'll have to delete the now redundant copies of the apps on your internal drive. The good news is that this will have dealt with any orphaned apps.
In the long term you might want to consider making your library portable.
Note switching to iCloud backup should not remove any content from your computer. I suspect purchases still get transferred when syncing but I've not tested it.

Bookmark Toolbar bookmarks have icons & take up too much space.

Firefox 4 beta 3 added icons to the Bookmark Toolbar, i.e. folder icons next to folder drop-downs, and mini-icons for links. While they're pretty, they take up too much space. Beta 2 didn't look like this.
How can I get rid of them?

Not on OS X. 
It is probably the first Firefox version that will have icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you get them by default. 
In previous Firefox versions you need a special theme or code in userChrome to accomplish that. 
Now you will need code in userChrome.css if you want to suppress those icons.
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css|userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.

ICloud Photos on my iPad uses too much space

I updated to iOS 8.3 and enabled iCloud Photo on all my devices and have it enabled on my iMac with the latest OSX Yosemite. Since then, the Photos app on my iPad is taking far too much space even though I have enabled the optimize storage feature on the iPad. Is there away to reduce the number of Photos available on my iPad without turning off the iCloud Photo feature? Is it possible to view only a subset of all my photos or is it all or none with iCloud?

I had the same thought that it would be nice if I could specify a subset of the photos on my Mac to be included in iCloud Photo Library. There isn't an option and the only work around I have found would be to have to Photos libraries on my Mac -- one with iCloud on and the other with it off. Not an easy solution. More details on how to do that: Adjust the size of your Photos library to work with iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

There is too much space in the header

When I try to print a document or form the page comes out with too much space at the header and cuts off the bottom of the form or document. I've tried an auto alignment and that hasn't fixed the problem. Is there anything else I can adjust or try?
Thank you!

Hi crashingwaves,
Generally, to adjust the amount of header in your prints, you will need to adjust the settings with the printing application. When printing on plain paper, a very narrow header is often required. Unless you are attempting to print to the leading edge of the paper, the header size should be within the printer's range.
What type of paper are you printing on? What is the size of the header that you need? Also, what application are you printing from?

There's no reason to install a smaller hard drive. In some cases, it may decrease performance.
Your MacBook Pro comes with a 5400 rpm hard drive, so what you can do is to install a smaller, 7200 rpm hard drive, so you will get a better performance. Any 2'5" SATA hard drive will work, but you can have a look at OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
HGST and Seagate hard drives have a good reputation, so you can purchase one of them

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts.
