Don't understand how iCloud and Photo work

I make photos with my iPhone... I get 4 different folders on the iPhone (film, streaming, panoramics, video) + recently deleted + other app specific.
Only STREAMING is copied in my Photo app on my MacMini
Also they stay on iCloud (again.. only the STREAMING ones).
Is it possible to set it this way ?
EVERY PHOTO/VIDEO I shoot PASSES on iCloud to my Photo folder on MacMini and then is DELETED from iPhone and iCloud?
Second questionWhere are the photos in Photo? I mean.. is there a folder I can open, copy, archive, etc...? Or is it all compacted in a single file?
Thanks,
M

Well, you said it yourself in the explanation of IMAP
The first image has the "Archive" folder under iCloud, because that is indeed coming from the IMAP folder from iCloud, as you can see the Archived folder in the 2nd and 3rd screenshot, that folder is just there with the icon. So again, you can see that iCloud IMAP'd folder of Archive appearing.
The structure is the same across all devices, just named differently. The only difference is "drafts" appears as "outbox" in mac mail when sending messages, or typing them up.
Those extra folders on your iPhone is local data. You can verify this by going to Settings > iCloud > Account > Advanced/Mail > Mailbox Behaviors. You'll notice "On my iPhone" and "on the server" - things that are under On My iPhone, will not be represented anywhere else but the phone.

I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes. You have two options.
1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes. You can get itunes at www.itunes.com Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder. This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos. If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.

I don't understand how iCloud mail is being handled among devices

I've switch to my iCloud email as my primary email. I switched from gmail becaue I wanted something simple, and easy. But I'm very confused. I thought that using imap my mail apps on my mac, iphone, and the web (iCloud), would all look the same. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Look at this picture and you'll see what I'm talking about.
The first image is on mail.app on my mac.
- Why is only Archive under iCloud? Aren't all these boxes (inbox, sent etc.) connected to corresponding folders in the cloud?
- What is the difference between trash on my mac and in iCloud? And when I just click delete, which one does it use?
The second image is web mail on iCloud. This makes sense to me, and I don't know why this exact folder structure isn't everywhere, but it's not.
The third image is from my iPhone.
- Why are their two draft folders? Why are there two sent folders?
I'm just really trying to understand how all this is working. As I said before, I though the same folder structure would be everywhere, but that's not the case. And I'm very confused. I just want to know how all this works, have it make sense to me. I'm sure it's simple, but it's over my head.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand how the drop zone works in Title effects.

I am having trouble understanding how the drop zone in the "Keynote" title effect works. I added the title effect to my storyline. In the inspector, Title tab, I selected the clip in the Event library, in this case a tiff photo. The thumbnail and clip title display in the inspector, but the clip does not display in the Viewer when I play the storyline even after FCPX has rendered.
Am I missing something in my understanding of this title effect or is there a problem in FCPX (10.0.6)? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
iMac, 3.4GHz Core i7, 16GB ram, OSX 10.8.2,

There are two ways in which drop zones are available in the Keynote title template. What Luis has shown you is the normal way in which a title placed over a clip shows you the original clip with the title text. That is called a Final Cut placeholder type of drop zone. Keynote also offers a drop zone to be used as a background choice instead of a gradient or solid as you see in Luis's post. This makes a very nice title effect as you can use any clip for that background. That is what I thought you were refering to when you you said drop zone. Keynote is one of the nicer titles we have available in FCP because of this feature. Glad you got it sorted out.

I don't understand how the Passbook App work. It makes no sense, and I cannot get any of my cards into the App.

I upgraded to the new iOS 6 and I have no clue how Passbook App works. How does it work, how do you install your loyalty cards, plane tickets, etc?
In the commerical, they show Starbucks in the Passbook App, however when I open the app, all I can do is go to the App Store. When directed there, Starbucks doesn't even appear.
Help would be appreciated.

I got Walgreens into Passbook but then when I opened up Passbook to get another App the only screen it would show is Walgreens card. So I deleted it and now I can't get any apps in Passbook. I think it just plain ***** but I still like the iOS 6 platform better.

Windows XP User: I Don't Understand How To Get Photos Into iTunes

So I have hundreds of photos living in Picasa on my XP PC. How can I get them into iTunes (or anywhere for that matter) in a manner that they can be viewed via Apple TV?
I own Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady; are those potential solutions?
Help.
TIA

Hello BillyGoat
You can sync Photos to Apple TV from windows, knowledge base article 305139 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305139) describes how to to it.

How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

You don't move them to iTunes or an iTunes account.
You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

HT203180 shows (I already of 5 of them) now it says they can't be played on my ipod, and I purchased them from Itunes? I don't understand why they won't work?

I purchased the remainder of shows (I already of 5 of them) for a TV series now it says they can't be played on my ipod, and I purchased them from Itunes? I don't understand why they won't work? I tried the conversion but it's greyed out and not chooseable. But again purchased from itunes so they should work according to the above article. Can anyone help me?

They can. The video needs to be converted, though. If it's in your library, just go to Advanced (in the top menu), then click on "Make iPod/iPhone Version." Wait a while, and when it's done, click and drag. Or for a quicker alternative and less space lost on the iPod, download Handbrake here.
Yep.

HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

Icloud and photos - I am confused

I am unsure about what is happening with my photos. I ran out of my free 5GB space in iCloud- most of the space was taken up with photos. I hooked up my iphone to the Mac and saved all the photos to my photo library and did a back up of everything. I clicked the option to 'remove all synced photos from iphone' once they were all synced but they were all still there. I thought that that would release the space taken up. I don't get it. So then I turned off iCloud - and now the space is restored. There is a message saying Your icloud library has been disabled, you have 27 days remaining to make sure you have a complete copy of your photos and videos. I think I have done that - or is there something else it means?
I like having iCloud, I like being able to see my photos on all my devices, so how can I do that and just use the 5GB allocated?

Hello The Countess,
Based on your post it seems you would like more information about iCloud and photo management. Syncing photos your computer and removing them from your iPhone is great way to free up storage space. Photos are still kept in your Photo Stream for some time, which do take up your iCloud storage. I have linked to an article which provides more information:
iCloud: My Photo Stream overview
With My Photo Stream, the photos you take with your iOS devices or import to your computers appear automatically on all of your devices. It’s a great way to get all your latest shots on all your personal devices.
How it works
You can take a photo with your iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your iPad or your Mac or Windows computer. iCloud automatically pushes copies of the photos over any available Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to your other devices.
The photos appear in My Photo Stream on these devices:
On your Mac, in iPhoto or Aperture
On your iOS 7 device, in the Photos app
On your iOS 8 device, in the Photos app (when iCloud Photo Library beta is not turned on)
On your Apple TV, under iCloud Photos
On your Windows computer, in the Pictures Library
On your iOS 8.1 device (when iCloud Photo Library beta is turned on), your most recent photos are uploaded to iCloud and appear in All Photos in the Photos app.
Note: When iCloud Photo Library beta and My Photo Stream are enabled on your iOS 8.1 device, your recent photos will upload to My Photo Stream but new photos from devices without iCloud Photo Library beta will not be imported.
To conserve storage space, My Photo Stream keeps only your latest 1000 photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. On your Mac and Windows computers, every picture from your photo stream can be automatically downloaded and kept permanently.
You can also set up your Mac and Windows computers so your new photos appear in a My Photo Stream album. Your computer has more storage than your iOS device and can automatically import all photos from My Photo Stream to your photo library.
If you take photos with burst mode or image stabilization, only the photos you select as favorites when using burst mode, and the final composite image shot with image stabilization, are added to My Photo Stream. If you want all burst-mode photos uploaded to My Photo Stream and your iPhone has iOS 7.1 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Settings > Photos & Camera), then turn on Upload Burst Photos.
Note: To prevent unintended or excessive use, My Photo Stream limits the number of photos and videos that can be uploaded within a given hour, day, or month. For more information, see the Apple Support article My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing Limits.

How OPA and OPM works

Hello Guys,
It's me again! :) I already deployed and installed OPA and OPM and was able to access the sample rulebases. I just have some questions / clarifications on how OPA and OPM works.
1. When you build and run project via OPM, the web-determinations page only opens locally. It will not be directly loaded / deployed to the web server unless the compiled project (rulebase) is copied to the *.war file. I think OPM is really for developers’ use only. Once the project is tested, developer will request to deploy it to the web server. Please confirm if my understanding is correct.
2. Is there a technical architecture diagram that will show how the OPA components work? Or how are they connected with each other? When I access the sample rulebase, the only URL I see is the web-determinations. Not sure what's the purpose of the other components or if they work independently.
3. Should the contents of web-determinations and determination-servers directories the same? For instance, if we deploy a new rulebase/plugin to web-determinations, should we also copy those files to determination-servers?
4. For the interview portlet, will it work with 'Oracle WebCenter Portal 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0)'? In the OPA install guide, it is stated that the 'Consume the Interview Portlet on WebCenter can be done on any instance of WebCenter and will require you to have a working portal application', what does the portal application mean? If we'll integrate OPA with PeopleSoft, do we need to install PeopleSoft Portal application? For now, we only planned to use OPA with PeopleSoft HRMS, Financials and CRM applications. Please confirm if we need to install PS Portal application as well.
This is all I have for now... Thanks in advance for your assistance. :)
Regards,
Ann M.

1. Generally, OPM is for business users not developers. (i.e. Policy or Business Analysts who communicate with and understand business terminology and express business policies using that terminology). Developers play a role in integrating the policy model to another systems data model - but that should primarily be a data mapping exercise and design and implementation of integration when necessary.
2. There is a good bit of information on architecture, components, etc. covered in both the developer documentation on OTN ( http://docs.oracle.com/html/E38272_01/toc.htm ) and high level overviews on the OPA YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/OraclePAVideos
3. You only need both is you plan on using both (i.e. Oracle Web Determinations is for running interviews to collect data to be used in making a determination, Oracle Determinations Server is for SOA - i.e. SOAP endpoint which publishes WSDLs that define the request/response formats for integration via web services with other apps.
4. Portal apps / infrastructure is only required if you are deploying the OPM project within a portal (i.e. as an interview running within a portal app).
(3 and 4 above are related, you didn't ask but a fourth option for deployment integration is via an API so basically an OPM project can be deployed as one or more of the following: an interview app (Web Determinations), an interview within a portal, a web services endpoint (Determinations Server) or integrated via an API. The YouTube content on architecture overview and integration will explain in a bit more detail and the OTN content will go into much more detail on each of the options.

Can't understand how Finder handles photos!

I would like to understand how finder handles photos because I switched from windows recently and can't understand some things.
First example, renaming lots of photos (without using iPhoto). I already have a automator action for renaming files, but if I have lots of photos with the numbers wrong, I wanted to organize the photos by date created and then rename them and get them in order. The problem is finder renames the files but with some order he chooses, and not the one I wanted. I know this happens because I select all the photos and he decides this way, but how can I do this my way!?
The second question is kinda related. If I open lots of photos in finder (using command+a and command+o), why do the photos that are open in preview are opened in an order finder chooses, even if I arrange my photos in different orders (kind, name, date, etc)?
I'm finding handling files in finder a little too much work to do, it was supposed to be a simple thing, just renaming or opening photos, because despite all his many weaknesses, windows worked kinda well with files, like pictures...

Part of it depends on what criterion you have chosen to arrange the files in the Finder window: Name, Date Modified, Date Created, Size, Kind, Label. If by Name, I think the ones with numbers are ordered before letters.

Don't Understand How to Play a Playlist in ITunes

I don't understand how to get Itunes to play my playlists on my home computer. I select the playlist, press the play button and either nothing happens or it may play the first selection in the playlist then stop. When I try to skip a song, it just stops as well. Is there some setting I need to have to simply play a playlist on my home computer. The playlists work fine on my Ipod. I don't get it. Please help.

Glad we found it.
Ya, the checkboxes are there to basically let iTunes know, yes, you can play me automatically. If they are unchecked, they don't get played (unless you specifically pick to play them) and if there are NO checked songs in a playlist, after it finishes the current song, finds nothing checked, so doesn't play anything else.
