Can I downsize my pics as they are too large to email several at a time and take up too much space

I want to make slideshows or powerpoints that I can email. My pics are so large 4 MB and up, i would like to downsize them closer to 600 KB ...can i do that on I Photo?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

  • In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further.  As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them.  Just make sure first that they are in your photo software.  If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
    At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway.  So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

  • ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

    After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
    iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
    is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

    Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
    If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock.  You will then be given a "Choose Library" option.  Choose it and point to your library.

  • Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.

    Me or my pc can't see my songs, but they are still on my Ipod.
    I've connected my Ipod to my pc, and suddenly there were no songs left, but when I checked it, was the memory still full, like before.
    I've disconnected my Ipod and suddenly there were also no songs on my Ipod aswell.
    please help me!!

    "There should be a solution I think"
    Yes, to restore the iPod and reload the songs with whatever program you use to put songs on the iPod.
    How do you manage to use iPod Agent to transfer songs to the iPod since this is what it says in the iPod Agent FAQ?
    "iPod Agent is not a music manager. It does not provide the ability to organize your music and transfer it to your iPod. Apple's own iTunes does a great job of this and thus we don't see a reason to try to duplicate it's functionality. iPod Agent is meant to work hand-in-hand with iTunes."
    If you don't use iTunes, what "library" do you use?

  • Can adobe patch files be deleted what are they whay do they take up so much space

    Can adobe patch files be deleted? What are they and why does it take up so much space?

    If you are using Premiere Elements 9 Mac, then the next thing to do is to get details on what you mean by "patch files".
    There are no "patch files" as you describe. There is a Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update that needs to be used with the program. That you install and do not uninstall for best performance of the product.
    What I am wondering is this. Do you mean by patch files and the description that you give Scratch Files?
    If so, then you are looking at preview files and conformed audio and video files.
    I am strictly an Elements Windows person so you will have to help me translate my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Windows instructions into meaningful ones for you as it relates to file location.
    Under Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk, where do you have Video Previews and Audio Previews directed. At that location, you should be able to delete these files. They are automatically generated when you render Timeline content. The consequence of deletion is that you will need to render again content in the project from which they came (if that project still exists). Go to the location shown and delete.
    Then look to see where the Media Cache is directed. Those are conformed audio and video files (cfa and pek). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. Go to the location shown and delete.
    Then look to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database. That is targeting conformed video files (.mcdb file extension). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. You can click on the Clean button there to get rid of them instead of following the path to them as shown in the Media Cache Database area.
    Do not delete any source media that went into projects after they were saved closed.
    Please review the above and do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    If none of the above applies to your question, then please more details.
    Thanks.

  • Back ups disappeared. I can see the folder structure but they are all targetless alias.

    Hi,
    A couple of months ago I restored a Lion MacBook Time Machine Back up to a new MacBook Air using Mountain Lion. Obviously, the whole content wouldn't fit in the considerably smaller hard drive of the MBA, so I only downloaded what was most important, and left the back up in my external disk to access if I needed other files.
    The thing is, I did access the files a couple of times, but sometime in the past two months the back ups have dissapeared. Instead, I can find my fold structure, but they are only aliases. There are no files there.
    I used finder to browse through all the different dates inside the Time Machine folder, but there were still only aliases.
    The Time Machine Back up folder reduced in size from about 500GB to 45GB, but I have not deleted anything. And I haven't set up a new time machine.
    Any one has any idea of what might have happened?
    Thanks in advance.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
