Can I delete photo to create more hard drive space as I just backed them to the iCloud ? Thanks

I just purchased 20gb of iCloud to create more space on my iPad. Is it safe to delete my photos from the hair drive now? Once deleted how can I view them from the iCloud
Many Thanks

You should transfer your photos to the laptop/computer or upload them to cloud storage like Dropbox, Box.net or Sugarsync.

  • Creating more hard drive space?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of stuff to increase my hard drive space. Right now I can't afford an external drive, but I bought some flash drives. I removed a bunch of Photoshop files, but it only came to about 1 GB (I currently have about 15 GB available, and I've been told more GB available can help it perform better).
    Any suggestions? For instance, do I have OS9 that I can delete? Any help would be appreciated, or maybe a link to an article.
    Thank you,
    Allan

    In order to create enough extra space for the computer system and applications to
    run more efficiently, you will have to be looking into music and photo kinds of files,
    where many dozens of images or music titles add up tremendously; and then choose
    to save them to CD media or copy their correct files from the computer to external
    drive devices. However, the USB speed in older iMac G4 is USB1.1 so that may take
    quite a bit of time to get them copied over. An externally enclosed FireWire400 HDD
    would be much better in speed and efficiency, to move and archive your work files.
    {And when you think you've gotten the correct files you want copied, be sure they are;
    because that's when you would have to erase or trash, and empty trash the originals.}
    The idea to thin out the size of unused System excess, as suggested in the earlier reply,
    is a good one, for gaining back the capacity used by a full install of OS X. Be sure to
    remove only those items which do not affect the computer's OS function. Extra languages
    and old copies of apps you don't use, some kinds of duplicate fonts (be careful there), etc.
    There are utilities such as What Size, which may help to tell what kinds of content, the file
    size and locations in the system; & figure out what is safer to remove, among the contents.
    Not sure what Omni Sweeper or other tools do, I've heard about them but use an external
    hard disk drive (have a few, USB and FW) enclosed in suitable drive housing for OS X use.
    So, I usually get around some situations by other means; as part of a maintenance routine.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • If i download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space?

    If I download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space on my mac?

    iPhoto and Lightroom are similar apps - although LR is a far more capable app - and that the price it should be, of course. But the two apps are similar in that they both offer
    Photo Management
    Non-Destructive Processing
    So, essentially, they both play the same part in the workflow.
    The procedure would be to
    Download the images from the camera into the Photo Manager (regardless of which one you choose)
    Review and select in the Manager
    Trash the unwanted with the Manager
    Process the images - that is, in most cases edit them.
    It is at this point - and only this point - that Photoshop might come into play. Both of these apps can act as a 'front-end' for Photoshop - after all, they're the Managers. But in truth, if you're using Lightroom then you very likely do not need Photoshop at all, and for anything that does require layers you can use one of the many - much less expensive - alternatives. But I think the common experience is that with Lightroom (like Aperture) the requirement for the sledgehammer that is Photoshop really fades away.
    So pick one horse and ride it. Choose between LR and iPhoto. Use it like it's intended. Don't get involved in other necessary apps. Don't review before bringing the photo into the manager - that's what the manager is for.

  • Where can I put in more hard drive space on my laptop around Waterloo, Ont?

    Hello, I was wondering, where can I get more hard drive space on my laptop, so then I can install Boot camp and still have enough space left for my other stuff. I don't want to loose too much space, I already lost about 9.7 GB to installing Leopard.
    Does anyone live in Waterloo, Ontario?

    I'm currently a student at the University of Waterloo (2B term starts in September). Here are some options for you:
    1) Canada Computers at King/University.
    2) CampusTech at UW
    3) IST help desk at UW (for UW students only, I think)
    Canada Computers is right at the corner of King/Uni. It's on the northwest corner of the intersection, slightly north of University. Look for a blue sign with yellow type within a 30 second walk north of the intersection. They sell all kinds of computer hardware, although they may or may not be able to do the actual transplant for you.
    CampusTech is at the Student Life Centre, on the bottom floor (basement). Ask anyone at UW and they'll tell you how to find it. They're "Official Mac Certified", but I don't believe they sell hard drives. I bought my MacBook there and they did a RAM upgrade for me and so far it works well.
    The CHIP (Computer Help Information Place) is on the 1st floor (basement) of the Math building at UW. You may have to be a Math student to use them, and if you're not under warranty they may charge you, but I had a problem with my keyboard shortly after buying my MacBook and went there and they fixed it for me. They have really short hours, though, so if you have a day job, this is probably not the best option.

  • More hard drive space on iPod than Computer, Help!

    I have more hard drive space on my iPod than I do on my computer (I have a very old computer). Is there any possible way that I could transfer songs and videos onto my iPod and then be able to delete them from my computer, in order to make more space for new songs and videos?
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

    Yes, you can do this.
    With the iPod docked, you to preferences in iTunes and set the iPod to be updated manually. That way, it won't remove anything on the iPod unless you tell it to.
    Then load as many CDs/Tunes/videos as you can onto your computer and manually copy them to the iPod. When done, you can delete those items without affecting the iPod and thus free up the space for the next load. Repeat as often as necessary.
    If you left the iPod set to automatically update, each time you deleted the tunes from the PC, it would delete them from the iPod.
    One thing you need to consider though is that if your music is only on the iPod, you'll loose everything if the iPod has a problem that either requires it to be replaced or reinitialized. This doesn't happen often, but it could happn. You should therefore ensure you've got a backup copy of everything (ie, the original CDs or that you burn copies of everything before you delete them.

  • I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs.  I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

    That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

  • How can I store photos on an external hard drive and still manage w IPhoto?

    The hard drive on my MacBook is almost full and I want to move my photos to an external hard drive.  Can I do this and still manage and organize the photos using I Photo?   I can export the photos, but when I do I lose the organization (Events, Albums, etc.) that are in I Photo.   With my new DSLR camera the photos (JPEGS) are really big and I am quickly running out of storage on the MacBook.  Thanks in advance for you help.
    Jim in Seattle

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Re-installing Windows 7 with more hard drive space via bootcamp - Help!

    I have installed Windows 7 via bootcamp with success. However I didn't give enough hard drive space to Bootcamp (only 6MB available! Whoops...) Can I just delete the Boot Camp partition and start again or is it more complicated?
    Thanks for any help!
    Steve :o)

    Can I just delete the Boot Camp partition and start again
    Either do that or use CampTune.

  • Can't download applications (poss due to hard drive space issue)?

    Hi there,
    I'm having major hard drive issues with my MacBook Pro OS X 10.4.11 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM laptop.
    I use it for video editing and also keep music on it. However for the video editing I use an external hard drive, though I've found some Final Cut Pro files on my internal hard drive before and deleted them whenever I've found them. Sometimes it's an Imovie project, sometimes a straightforward final cut project, sometimes a playout of a final cut project.
    My problem is that I now have almost no hard drive space, to the point where I wasn't able to save a Word file last week due to insufficient disk space! I emptied the trash and managed to get it to save in the end.
    I immediately went on to the discussions pages and it was suggested to try WhatSize, OmniDiskSweeper and Disk Inventory to identify the files that were taking up all the room. Unfortunately NONE of these applications will download onto my laptop. They're not the only ones, I tried downloading a couple of other applications for music and the like and NOTHING will download!
    I went through everything that I felt I knew for certain that I could delete without being detrimental and freed up a small bit of room and tried again but still NOTHING. I then used Onyx on the suggestion of another post and freed up a few gigs (I went from 1.7gb available to 7gb available) and assumed that this would do the trick, however, it hasn't!
    What happens when I try to download these (or any) applications is that when i click the "Download Now" area on the webpage it begins to move onto what should be a download progress page or a "download complete" page but instead just spends an eternity "loading", with the little loading wheel on the left of the tab just spinning around and around. I tried leaving it literally all night last night but to no avail, opened it back up again and still the circle was spinning around and around "loading". This has been the case for the several dozen attempts I've made, no matter what the website.
    It seems like something of a Catch 22 if the situation is that I can't download these applications that will help me to free up Hard Drive space, because I don't have any Hard Drive space! Though I'd have thought that the 7gb I now have would be ample. Did my laptop turn to self preservation mode perhaps when the hard drive was down to the bare minimum and I wasn't even able to save word documents?
    If anybody can help it'd be HUGELY appreciated...
    All the best,
    Rory

    If you open a Finder window you can also sort by size by clicking the size column header. In view options you can also set it to calculate all sizes so it will also show folder sizes. Although not as handy as the cataloging applications you can at least start tracking down where the disk space is going. With video you can probably just copy half a dozen files off and immediately free up many GB.
    Note that this isn't just a matter of convenience. OSX makes lots of temporary files and is doing it all the time. If it can't find space for those files it can result in a serious drive crash and that could cost you several hundred dollars in recovery expenses. A Sig indicates, you need space just for computer operation. I feel the % recommendation is a bit vague since people use drives ranging from 10 - 1000 GB in size. My computer regularly uses 6GB of hard drive space for temporary files, and I like to leave wriggle room, so I usually leave at least 15-20GB. You can check the temporary file usage by looking at VM in Activity monitor.
    As BDaqua observes, having a crowded drive also slows down your computer. If it has to hunt for nooks and crannies in which to place bits and pieces of bigger files that takes time. Normally one does not have to worry so much about fragmentation of files on a Mac, but your scenario of working with large files on a really crowded drive may be defying that generalization.

  • How do I get more hard drive space for my Macbook Pro?

    I am losing hard drive space and I don't know why? Is something writing or copying on my Macbook Pro?
      Thank you...

      The Hatter..This may be helpful information. I go to force suit and there is both Safari and "Safari web content not responding in red" and this may
    be the problem. I delete files and I get up to 50 to 50 MB and then it goes right back down to zero with no use on my part. I made a mistake by
    viewing **** on a CHatterbate site and I think that this may be the problem. How do I get rid of this virus, if that is what is happening> I ran Clam X and
    it did not find anything...Thank you, again.

  • How can i delete files on an external hard drive

    I am trying to transfer all my photos from iPhoto onto an external hard drive.  The external hard drive appears to be full.  How do I delete the files on the external hard drive so I can add the photos.

    If you have a few, you can easily use the drag 'n drop method: just have the external attached, open it in the Finder, and drag files to your internal's trash can. Empty the trash before disconnecting the external (or the files will not be deleted). Make sure you have the files backed up somewhere before ditching them on the external drive (unless you absolutely do not ever need them again).

  • How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s.  when it was synced, the photos went to two folders and not to the camera roll

    How can I delter photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s?  When I synced the new phone from the Itunes, the photos went to two folders and not the camera roll. 

    thanks, should I delete all the phones on Itunes and re sync the old phone, then resync the new phone to get the pictures?  Will they go to camera roll instead of a folder?

  • How do I delete photos from an external hard drive before downloading to my new Mac?

    I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive that has all my photos from my old computer on it  Because there are thousands, I want to delete a bunch of them before downloading onto my new Mac.  However, when I click on the photos, they say "locked."  Once I have the photos trimmed down, how do I get the to download to my Mac?

    Don't touch that one !
    I was hoping that in addition to that there should be another device listed, namely the USB External HD you've got plugged into the USB port. It should show up something like this:

  • I can't delete things off my external hard drive

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) (Verified)
      MacBook Pro - model: MacBookPro5,5
      1 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2-core
    I bought a Seagate 2TB external hard drive. i can get stuff on it no problem but I can't delete certain things from my trash. When I try to delete some, not all, things off it a box appears that says:
    "the operation can't be completed because ..... is in use."
    It's not, I have all the applications closed. I have tried the normal delete, the secure delete, I have tried turning the laptop off and then trying to delete again when its on and it's not working, I have tried putting the file back on the Hard drive and then moving it to the trash again (this has worked for me before with other drives) and deleting, that is also not working.

    This is concerned in particular with backups.. but what is relevant is the command to empty the trash.
    http://pondini.org/TM/E6.html
    Doing stuff from terminal as you know .. be very careful.
    I would do a permissions fix beforehand. Just open the disk the disk utility and run the repair.
    Or again you can do it from terminal.
