Do I have to backup photos and video before installing ios8?
Do I have to backup photos and video before installing ios8?
Back up your iPhone before installing iOS 8. The backup will in include your camera roll. It's fastest to back up to your computer using iTunes (connect the phone, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Back Up...choose to back up apps and transfer purchases if prompted). Then you can restore your iTunes backup, which is faster since there's nothing to download.

My ipod touch 4g keeps telling me that I have too many photos and videos and will not let me download apps. I have deleted all the photos and videos and some of my old apps but it keeps telling me the same message. I have tried to sync it with the pc and I have turned it on and off and I have reset it but nothing has worked. Please help! Thank you
Go to Setting>General>About. oow much avaialbe storage do you have?
Have you tried resetting the iPOd?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
I have imported all photos and videos from my iPhone 5S into Aperture ver.3.4.5 and now cannot find them. I thought I could open a panel showing all imports and merely list them chronologically, but I don't see how to do this. There are over 1800 photos and about 100 videos, any help to locate where they've gone would be appreciated.
Try to search with a Smart Album for photos and videos taken with an iPhone:
File > New > Smart Album:
Add an EXIF rule fro the "Add Rule" drop down menu: EXIF
and set it to "Camera Model includes iPhone".
Set the scope of the search to "Library"
If there are any iPhone images or videos in your library at all, this search should find them. Then ctrl-click any of the items and select "Show in Project" from the contextual menu.
Generally, Aperture should be showing your last import in the "Last Import" smart album in the "recent" section". And the "projects" view can be sorted by date, so you should see your recent imports.
You may want to check all search fields, if searches are active. -
Do I have to backup my MacBook Pro before Installing Windows?
I have no external hard drives or backup method, so can I install Windows without backing up my Mac? If so has annyone ever installed Windows on their Mac without doing a backup?
Many have, and some have regretted it, get an external device and backup first.

I have an external hard drive but am not positive it's backing everything up.

How to get photos and videos of an old icloud backup?
Hello,
I had an ipod full of pictures and videos which was backed up onto icloud. I sold my ipod a few weeks ago and i stupidly i forgot to take off my photos and videos before resetting it. Now i have lost all of them. On my iphone, in settings > icloud, it says i still have the ipod backup stored on icloud.
Is there a way of getting the images off icloud onto my mac or anything at all? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.You can do a restore to another ipod, but not to the mac. However, be aware that countless users have discovered that their restores from a backup that supposedly contained the camera roll did not sync the photos back to the device. Unless you have been syncing photos from the ipod to a computer, as is suggested for storing photos (be sure to do that with your iphone), you have no guarrantees that photos will be safely stored on icloud.

My mother has an iPad and so do I. I have successfully sent photos and videos to her. She took a photo with her iPad and sent it to me. I receive her mail with the word, "attachment" and with the paper clip symbol - but there is never an attachment! No photo! How is this possible if she is doing the exact steps that I do when mailing photos? Is something locked? Thanks for help.
Scroll down to the bottom of the email. Is there a message there to download the rest of the email?
Quit Mail and try again. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally. -
Backup Problems - Lost photos and videos
I have just taken delivery of the 4G and it doesn't seem to have picked up on the "Camera Roll" photos and videos that I had with the 3GS. I made sure to back up the old phone before retoring it to factory settings (I have sold it).
When I tested it to make sure that all my info was off the old phone iTunes was still showing it as my account. So, probably stupidly, I logged out of my account, renamed the phone and restored it again. This didn't help but I think it may have "lost" the photos and videos that I had previously.
I have looked on the laptop for the files to try and restore them manually but without luck. Can you tell me where they may be and how I might recover them?The camera roll (photos taken by the iphone or ipod screen snaps) are not backed up with a sync. They must be extracted from the iphone3G prior to restoring it using iphoto(mac) or a digital camera wizard(windows).

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.
I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

hi,
New to this, so go easy on me. I recently got my first iDevice - an iPhone 5. I've used it for a month now and I have to say I love it.
But, I gave it to my kid this morning to look at. It was locked, so I assumed it was safe. WRONG. 5 mins later, I returned to him and my lovely iPhone5 was at the setup /pick your language screen! Looks like he entered the password incorrectly too many times and wiped it.
Now - I thought it would be fairly easy to recover the data and the apps - but it turns out this is not the case. I was never prompted to install iTunes and sync the device - not in the manual, not on the device when setting it up - so how was I to know that that would be my backup. I checked iCloud at a suggestion of an IT pal - nothing there, despite knowing that I had a Photo stream enabled. I may have disabled it only recently, but not sure if I can manually turn it on again?
Anyway - is there a way to manually scan my device and grab my all important photos and videos?
Cheers for any suggestions!Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?
It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less. -
I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download. I wish I had read the reviews on it first. I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install. I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive. Meanwhile my itunes updated too. So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone. I installed the ios 7. When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone. I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone. Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories. When I access them I don't get a delete option. The trashcan is greyed out. The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function. How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?
Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos only from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I have deleted many unwanted files and apps and yet the available space keeps depleting every time i am using my Macbook Pro. I believe under the OS 10.7.4 one of the features is it backups or has backgrounding features which uses memory. Sometimes even when i hv 8GB space after using my Macbook Pro for say 2hrs surfing internet and using Pages which has a "Save Version" feature suddenly my 8GB goes down to 300+MB only and it starts prompting me "My Startup Disk is almost full" once it reaches 1GB space left. How can i get more space.... Please someone can help me? Do i need to re-format my hardisk??!! Any help out there is greatly appreciated.
My original HD is 320GB. And i don't hv too many Apps installed. I do have abt 50-70apps. I do have many photos and videos stored in iPhoto's Library though.One thing I've noticed is that a shared tab pops up when I open the finder under "favorites" with a random connection. It's called hp68b... None of my friends that I live with have this and we all use the same internet. Two days ago when I would click it and click get info, it said it was a pc. When I checked it today it said it is a "sharepoint" and looks like a harddrive.
I took it too the store after i spilt water on it but when I got it back it ran perfectly fine. I don't know a lot about computer so if somebody could help me. It says I'm connected to it and I can't disconnect or delete it. I don't know if the guy at the computer store put something in my computer and is sharing all my files. -
I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS! When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works. The photos and videos won't populate. I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now. Before I updated my phone, I really liked it, now I don't like my phone at all! When will this be fixed? I hope it's soon. I'm thinking of changing providers now.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
