Do photostream photos get saved forever on your mac?

After a photostream photo has been upload to my mac, will it be deleted from my mac after a certain amount of time or is it now saved on my mac forever? I notice that photos are saved to a new event titled, for example, Sept 1 - Oct 1, 2012 photostream. Will those photos eventually be deleted if they are not saved to a new event?

Two totally seperate things
Yes the photos in PhotoStream are deletes when you reach 1000 photos in PS or after 30 days or when deleted on any of your devices
Photos that have been imported into iPhoto (either by the automatic import preference or manually) and are in events are not affected by the source photo being deleted
You indicate that your are in an event. Those will not be deleted unless you delete them using iPhoto

Where do my Added Photo get saved?

I am a new user to iPhoto yet I'm catching on very quickly. When i add my photos to my iPhoto library what happens to them? Where are they saved? I would like to get rid of the original copies of the imported pictures that are located under Finder/Pictures. I am afraid to delete them because i think they may be the same file that iPhoto is using. PLEASE HELP!
Thank You ZMERECEY.

Unless you changed a setting in the Preferences, you photos are saved inside the iPhoto Library. That is the default setting. If you want to see exactly where a pic is, In the iPhoto Window Right Click on it and go Show File.

Is it necessary to "clean" your Mac? I'm not s but I've been getting ads about cleaning your Mac. What does it do? Would it make surfing the web faster? thanks

HI, is it necessary to "clean" your Mac? I'm not sure what that means or what it does but I've been getting ads that offer to clean it. Would doing that make surfing the web faster? Thanks!

Suggestions for Mac maintenance
Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off-site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
Keep your software up to date. Software Update can be set to notify you automatically of updates to the Mac OS. Some third-party applications have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless. The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until recently, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous. There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable. Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a known corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance. The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Don’t waste money on Disk Warrior or anything like it.

How do you get the pannel in your mac that shows your documents in icloud

I've upload some pages files to icloud and i don't know how to make the pannel in my mac to show up to get the documents. Help me please.

If you are using the latest version of Pages on your Mac in Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) the iCloud panel appears when you go to open a Pages document.
You need to upgrade your Mac OS to get it.

What do you need to bring to get the warranty for your mac if you didnt get it with the mac?

plese help me i really need to know what i need to bring inorder to get warranty

Just to add in case this is what you were asking. You automatically have warranty coverage for one year from date of purchase or date of shipping. If you are bringing your Mac in for repair to an Apple Store or AASP, they can check to see your warranty coverage from the serial #. It shouldn't be necessary to bring your receipt, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have it with you, just in case.
This is apart from AppleCare, which has already been discussed.

Do your photos get saved when you do a full backup?

I need to restore my phone and I backed it up onto my MacBook Pro, but I need to know if it backed up my pictures as well, since I have all my pictures from my Europe trips on my phone. Help please!

If you don't delete them from your carrier's voicemail server they can be resynced from it.

I don't know where my photostreamed photos are saved on my PC

I see it in my iCloud photostream, but don't see the pc folder where it uploaded (if it did). Didn't see in the iCloud folder where to direct the photos to go.

Hello andersda,
The location of your Photo Stream photos can be determined by opening the iCloud for Windows, then clicking Options next to Photos, then clicking Change to view the path to which your photos are downloaded.
Open iCloud for Windows, then turn on Photos.
My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream

Why didnt my photos get saved when my iPad was restored?

I left my room for maybe 5 minutes when I returned my iPad some how shut off and went into recovery mood as if I just got it out the box again I pluged it into my pc an opened iTunes and called apple I was told to restore it then it worked again. I told it to restore last back up but it didn't reload my pervious apps, photos, videos, nothing only contacts and photo stream. I was very disappointed with this I had some very impotent photos and videos saved on to it and I lost all of them.

Had you backed up your iPad recently? Apps and videos are not contained in the backup, only data and photos taken with the device.
Media should reside on your computer or you can reload purchased apps and videos from the cloud.

When I open my iMac, I get this message - Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. ???????

When I open my iMac, I get the following message : Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. Then it says to quit applications not in usw and to close windows and remove files from startup disk. It lists Safari, email and Finder. I force a quit on all applications yet the same message comes up every time I open an application. What do I do to get rid of this once and for all? The computer is not even two years old and is only used for email and Safari. Help will be greatly appreciated,

The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

How do I move photos from my iPad to my Mac or flash drive?

I have over 1000 photos on my iPad and would like to move them to my Mac so I can order them and share them. When I turn on photo stream on my Mac and iPad, the 30000 photos from my Mac are pushed to my iPad. Can the photo stream be one way? If so how?

Photostream can't be only one way. It can only hold 1,000 photos. It doesn't have to have any photos added to it from your Mac, that happens because of your iPhoto preferences, you can change them.
To move photos from your iPad, connect it to your computer with a USB cable, open iPhoto and select the photos to import.

My old iMac G5 won't restart no matter what I try. I get "You must restart your mac" plus grey screen. I've reset PRAM, tried safe start, tried booting from original iMac discs.. all no good. This happened when I was deleting files in preparation for trading in at Best Buy. Anybody know what's going on?

If you are really running a an "old Mac G5", then you have posted in the wrong Forum.. You have posted in the "Intel iMac Forum" by mistake.
