Just photostream so far. The only complete local library you can offload so far is your music library from iTunes.

I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!
This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder. -
All of my photos are missing from Iphoto on my mac. I have turned on icloud however my iphone photos are not on my ipad or imac either. Help.
Do you still see your photos, when you launch iPhoto and not Photos?
Where did you keep your iPhoto Library? In your Pictures folder, as is the default? Or on an external drive?
Look in the folder with your iPhoto Library.
You should be seeing two libraries, if you already let Photos upgrade the iPhoto Library:
Your iPhoto Library, now called .migratedphotolibrary
and the new Photos library:
are the libraries there? and how large are they? -
Does iCloud erase iPhone delete photos from the phone
I hope it does
The only connection iCloud has with photos is Photo Stream. That's where the last 1000 photos you took with your iPhone are uploaded into the cloud and synced with your Macs running iPhoto. iCloud does not erase anything from an iPhone, or an iPad for that matter.
Please post back if that doesn't answer your question, or if I misunderstood.

Moving all my photos from my Mac to SmugMug photo storage service.
I have joined the photo storage service SmugMug. My goal is to move every last photo I have on my Mac to SmugMug and then delete my photos from my Mac. Following SmugMug's path for loading photos, I'm taken to a page that shows the first line item hi-lited in blue which says "iPhoto". If I were to scroll down, the next line item says "Events" and the one below it says "Photos".
See example:
Question #1: Which line item do I select, "iPhoto", "Events" or "Photos"?
Question #2: How do I delete all photos permanently from my computer once I've successfully moved them to SmugMug?
Please be specific in your answers. I am old and have little computer experience.
Thank you all for your help.I'd like to offer the suggestion that you do not erase all your photos from your computer, or..... at least get an external hard drive and park a copy of them there. I would not trust having one backup only; there are things that can go wrong and, personally, I would not trust any online server with my precious and only copy of my photos.
I can't help with the other question since I don't use iPhoto. -
Insufficient Hard Drive Space in Windows 7 after upgrading from XP Bootcamp
I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 via bootcamp with success; however, I find the hard drive space diminished. I originally had 32gb partition for xp and continued to use that allocation space since my macbook pro has about only 120 gb total space. I never checked how much space I had from the beginning but now after I installed several applications such as norton, skype, yahoo messenger, etc., I have about 1 gb left free looking at "my computer". I've looked around and found that the minimal requirement for windows 7 is 16 gb. That does not make sense that I have 32 gb and am now left with just 1 gb with just basic programs installed and I do mean basic; no huge programs since I just use my mac as a "leisure" laptop. Please help! I tried googling and looking for answers in discussion boards and can't find an answer.
I don't ever recall seeing 16GB in all my reading. Okay, yes for 32-bit but that really seems... misleading unless Home Basic.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/system-requirements.aspx
As for how large, depends on a number of things like how much RAM, page file, hibernation, temp files, etc. More for 64-bit than 32-bit. The amount needed for rollback drivers, restore points, should also be taken into account. Thumbnails and cache, too.
I use 64-bit version, consumes 65GB, and I really don't have much, and all my data, installers and updaters and such are kept on another hard drive, not the system drive.
At least you can't normally "upgrade" from XP to 7, you have to do a custom clean install so you shouldn't have anything left behind or in Windows.old
I wouldn't install Norton. MSSE is fine, all you need (I did use beta's of Norton 360 v.3 and others too).

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!
HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated. -
hi i have the same apple id for my iPad and my mac. my iPhone has a different one. My i cloud on my mac seems to be the iCloud on my iPad, if that makes sense so its not sending my photos from my mac to the cloud. how do i change it to upload mac pictures instead? thanks
Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?

Can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop
can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop
If you mean by using photo stream, you can but iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days. You will need to download them to your Mac during this 30 day window or they will no longer be available.
Or, just leave the photos in the camera roll on your iPad until you return, then import them to iPHoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read. SO FRUSTRATING.

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac) -
Can I store photos from my ipad 3?
Can I store photos from my ipad 3 on icloud and delete them from the ipad to save memory?
You can find a way to do that with shared photostreams, but that is not what I would recommend. I d rather you imported those pictures to your computer.
If you decide to do it your way share photostream with yourself using these instructions

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?
I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?
Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

I'm trying to move my photos from my iphone to my PC, every time I go to my Computer it comes up with PhotoStream and iPhone , unfortunately this does that have all my photos from iPhone in it. Can anyone help me?
I'm using the most up to date software.
ThanksThanks for that, on the sync via iTunes, when my iphone is connected to iTunes via USB my photos tab says my iphone but I can never see any pics there. If I press Sync it still doesn't show anything.
Correction from my original post, it only comes up with PhotoStream on my computer when I'm connected via USB. -

Is there software available that will let me download photos from a Sony Jaou F100i mobile phone? I have a USB cable.
An external memory card reader. You can purchase one for as little as $5.
Contact Sony for software and/or read the user manual. See if they have one for a Mac.
