Deleting from iphoto but not from facebook

Hello . . .
When I first bought my mac I was happy to just use iphoto for the few pics i take . . . i have now started to become a photographer, and i am needing to store my photos externally due to the limited space on my macbook pro . . .
Is there a way for me to delete the photos on iphoto but keep them on facebook?
OR . . alternatively . . .
if I store my photos on the external HDD and make that the default library location, (but still deleting the library on the MBP), would the facebook photos be affected?
Im not sure what my options are now that I am wanting to free up space to work with on my mac.

iPhoto syncs with Facebook - the idea being if you make a change in one place then it will also be made in the other. So, if you sync with Facebook and delete from your Mac it will eventually be deleted from Facebook as well. In effect, you're using iPhoto to manage the collection you have online.
If you don't want that don't use the Share to Facebook command. Instead use any of the (many) other ways to upload to Facebook. That way, deleting from your Mac will not affect your material online.
BTW, the same is true of the relationship  between iPhoto and Flickr, and the same solution if that's not what you want.
Moving your Library to an external disk will not affect Facebook and your online syncs in any way.
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're becoming a photgrapher then you'll quickly realise that Fcebook is nowhere to store your photos. They are "processed" when uploaded and that's a code word for "heavily compressed and reduced in quality". For instance, I just ran a test. I uploaded a 2.7mb Jpeg to Facebook, and then downloaded it again. The file size of the downloaded image? 873kb - or about 66% smaller. That's 66% of the data in the file thrown away.
There are much better locations online for storing, sharing and backing up your photos - Flickr, SmugMug, Zenfolio, literally, hundeds - and they are dedicated photo sites, geared to the needs of the Photographer.
If you are serious about being a photographer you might also like to compare the permission you give Facebook to use and sell your photos compared to these other sites.

  • Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

    I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
    I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
    How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

    I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
    So problem solved.

  • Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

    Hi,
    Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
    Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
    Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

    Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
    When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
    So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
    What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
    Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
    If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
    Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
    You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

  • Remove songs from iPhone but not from playlist in 7.1

    I use iTunes Match and I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.  Before 7.1, when in the music app and I wanted to delete a song from my phone i was able to swipe from right to left and delete the song from my phone but it would still remain in the playlist, only it would now show a cloud icon.  Now in 7.1 when i swipe right to left and hit delete, it deletes the song from the playlist (song disappears) I am in and not from the phone, with no way to tehn add it to a playlist.  Is there any way to go back to way it previously worked?  How do I only delete a song from my phone withput removing it from a specific playlist?

    My settings are to show that all music is on and I disagree.  I used to be able to delete songs from the phone without removing them from a playlist.  Maybe it was before iOS 7 but I def could do it.  I would swipre and hit delete and the song would remain but now show a cloud icon.

    Same error goes 50 times more.Edited by: Svenmeister on Apr 16, 2010 7:22 AM
    Edited by: Svenmeister on Apr 16, 2010 7:22 AM

    Ok, I updated my Mac but still got the 1.5.0_22 crap so I changed the function from the mouseEvent to one that 1.5 supports.
    But now when I run the application from the console the Exception about the mouse function is gone, but I got another exception instead of it. And this one is I believe not JRE version relevant.
    The error is in the loading of the images, at the third PNG image to be precise. The images are now in total 10.8MB in size.
    So is this also a 1.6 thing? Would be awesome if someone can explain it.

  • Can only watch videos from YouTube, but not from other websites.

    I can only watch videos from youtube, but certain websites such as dailymotion.com , videos.sapo.pt, etc, the flash video does not load up. I´ve tried updating my video drivers, installing older versions of Adobe flash, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone has this problem? IShould I be messing with the flash global settings?
    Thanks.

    Hi, You may want to check the system requirements for the other sites. If you can watch videos on Youtube, then you must have Flash Player Installed properly.
    Sometimes certain websites don't support or are late in supporting the latest version of Flash Player (10.1.102.64), so you might want to contact the websites on that.
    You can use this link for setting and see if that makes a difference. Normally you would get a popup from the website to ask for this, but that would depend on how you have the Global Settings Panels set up.

  • Airport Express streams Airplay from iMac but not from Windows 7 PC

    I have a wireless network set up using a Linksys WRT45G2 v1 router. There is one iMac running Snow Leopard, one laptop running 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate and one desktop running 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. The router is set to WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES security. The Airport Express is set to WPA2 Personal. Its wireless mode is "join a wireless network." It is running firmware version 6.3. The iMac and the laptop are running iTunes 9 and the desktop is running iTunes 10.
    Up until recently I was able to stream music from the iMac and the desktop but not the laptop to remote speakers using airtunes via the airport express. Then the video processor in my desktop PC failed and in the course of diagnostic testing I had to reinstall the OS. After replacing the video card and reinstalling the OS, I tried to reconnect Airport Express to iTunes on the desktop PC but Airport Utility could not find the Airport Express. I returned the Airport Express to factory settings and tried again. The PC still did not recognize the Airport Express. I couldn't use the PC to reconfigure the Airport Express, but the iMac did see it so I reconfigured the Airport Express using the iMac. Now I can stream music using Airport Express from the iMac ONLY.
    When I use the Airport Utility to scan on the desktop or the laptop PCs it does not see the Airport Express. I can, however, see the Airport Express and read its configuration using Airport Utility on both PCs by using "configure other..." under the File tab (i.e. by typing in the IP number and password for the Airport Express.) Even though I can read the configuration and save it, iTunes does not recognize any remote speakers and I cannot stream music from either PC.
    I have tried turning off ALL wireless security as well as all firewalls. I also tried both iTunes 9 and iTunes 10 on the desktop. Nothing makes any difference.
    Before I could at least stream from desktop even though I had never been able to get the laptop to stream.
    Can anyone suggest a way to get Airtunes (Airplay) to work from my PCs?

    I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
    This worked for me.
    Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
    You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
    Then search services from start bar
    Open services and filter by manufacturer
    Stoop all macafee services
    Right click the start bar
    Open task manager
    Stop all macafee processes
    Try your airport utility you should now see your express
    If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
    This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
    Hope this helps

  • Can send email from iphone but not from mac.

    Hi. I'm using a mac desktop and the mail app. I can receive email, but not send. I checked my port and id/pswd and still cannot send. After the app tries to send, it says the server is offline.
    I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I've checked this and mail connection doctor says I am connected  - think I am going to have to get someone in to help me as I have spent about 4 hours on this now :-(

  • I would like to delete apps from itunes but not from my iphone

    Hi,
    I own an iPhone 5S with iTunes 11 on a Windows PC.
    I can not see any reason why I would want to waste gigs of my hard drive on iphone apps, which I cannot run on my computer and which I can install from the cloud using the app store on my iPhone.
    Is there any way to delete all the apps stored on my PC, without it affecting the apps store on my iPhone. Essentially I'd like to free up some hard drive space by deleting them ALL from my PC, but keep my iPhone as it is. I'd obviously like it to sync my iPhone, but ignore all apps.
    What would happen if I just delete them all from iTunes on my PC?
    Thanks
    Matt

    You cannot delete IOS, without IOS (iPhone operating system) your iPhone cannot function.

  • Emails delete from iphone but not from my pc?

    Hello all,
    I have been noticing a problem lately but sadly cannot put my finger on when it started to occur because I was not paying enough attention to the details until it was too late.
    I have an iPhone 3GS with all the latest updates and such. I have a personal Yahoo! email account set up on my phone as well as my university Outlook email. This is an "outlook live" email that I access by going to outlook.com on a computer, not the kind of inbox that you have to download. I receive new emails from my Outlook account on my phone with no problem, but when I delete emails from my phone, then log on to my email on a computer, the emails are not deleted. I do most of my emailing from my phone, so I was shocked to log in to my email on my pc one day to discover that I had 132 emails even though I had deleted nearly every single email that I received. This appears to have started abruptly. I have had this account set up on my phone for many, many, many months and have not had any problems. I haven't changed my password or anything like that... Has anybody else experienced this problem and how did you fix it?

    This is possible with one of two ways.
    With an IMAP account that is accessed as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app and the same with an email client used on your computer for accessing the account. If you don't use an email client on your computer for accessing the account, this will work when accessing the account via webmail access using a browser on your computer.
    It is possible to access a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app but it is not possible to access the account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer. Yahoo doesn't support accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer.
    With a POP account along with the setting for the account on the iPhone to remove messages from the server after being downloaded when moved from the account's Inbox mailbox or in 7 days after a message has been downloaded.
