How do I move iPhotos to iCloud while keeping events intact?

Can I move most of my iPhoto library to iCloud to free up space on my MacBook? If so, how? I want to maintain the "metadata" - events, albums, etc. Once the photos are stored in iCloud, how do I access them

Photostream photos will only stay in photostream for 30 days and you can only have a thousand photos in photostream at any time. On top of which any photos in photostream on your Mac will take up just as much room as being in iPhoto only.

How do I move files in iCloud while using my mini iPad?

I just recently got an iPad mini with retina display. This is my first iPad. There are many things that are new to me.
At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to move or delete files in iCloud Drive while using my mini iPad. As I understand it, the only way to look at, organize or move files in the iCloud drive is to login to iCloud via a browser other than installing a separate specific application that lets me do that. However, I have found that even if I login to the iCloud drive using a browser, I still can't move or delete files while using the mini iPad although I can view the file list and folder list, create file folders, and use files for which I already have an application installed.
How do I get around this so that I can do those things? Do I really have to get a separate application to do that? If so, what's a good one to use?

Hi Files get sent to iCloud when you backup this happens Automatically When you charge your iPad Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over your WiFi Software updates apps& data can all be synced over WiFi We have 2 iPhones & 3 iPads & have not used PC for over a year. For Apple Devices. Go to ibooks download iPad user guide its Free. Cheers Brian

When trying to move iphotos to icloud there is a server error

How can I move iphotos to icloud when a server error appears?

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community! This question has been asked and answered many times... Please read the post at the beginning of this section: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/webOS-Hardware-and-Software/webOS-Cloud-Services-to-end-3-15-2015-updated/m-p/4614446#U4614446 WyreNut

How do I move iPhoto library to a wireless, remote HD?

How do I move iPhoto library to a wireless, remote HD?

Same as any HD.
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.
But Note: A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I link IPhoto to ICloud?

Please see this page:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmbc40255b
and expand 'On a Mac to work with iPhoto or Aperture'.
Your Photo Stream photos will not be visible on the iCloud web site, since the purpose is to shunt them to your other devices. There is a facility called 'Photo Journal', which is a basic photo gallery which however is populated only from iPhoto for iOS;

How do I move iPhoto pics to external HD to free up hard drive space, then how to back up external HD

I currently have 2 iPhoto Libraries on my 2010 MacBook Pro. Photo count is in tens of thousands, and hard drive needs them to go away so it can work faster. Nervous about moving photos to external HD. I currently back up entire computer to 1 external HD via Time Machine. Just purchased another bigger external HD for purpose of moving iPhoto libraries to it.
However, Genius Bar told me to drag and drop folders to folders I create on new HD and NOT move iPhoto Library file itself because those were only "copies" of the images. If I want to keep the real images, I should move folder by folder and group by year.
I'm just totally confused. I still want to be able to use iPhoto to organize and edit my photos. I THINK I can do that by moving the entire iPhoto library folder from my Pictures folder to the external and then launching iPhoto by holding down Option key. But, how do I back up the back up?

Genius bar is not very genius in this case.

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.
Backing Up.
Remember a back up is a copy on another disk (at least). So, you'll need one disk to hold your Library and another to back that up to. You can use Time Machine if you want to. Chronosync or SuperDuper are also excellent alternatives.

How do you move iPhoto to an external hard drive?

I want to move iPhoto and possibly iTunes to an external hard drive to free up space on my MacBook Pro. How do you do this?

Copy /Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library to your external drive. Delete the one on your internal drive. Now create an alias to the iPhoto Library's new location and put the alias in the original location. Be sure the alias is named "iPhoto Library".

How do I move up one folder while browsing Time Machine?

When I'm viewing a folder in Time Machine's "Star Wars" view, how do I move up one folder, to view the current folder's parent folder?
In Finder, I have several ways to do it: I could either hit CMD+Up Arrow, or CMD-click the title bar then click on the parent folder I want, or double-click the folder I want from the folder path in the bottom bar. But none of these methods work in Time Machine.

JUst like you would in the Finder. I use the Path button in the Finder's toolbar:
If you don't thave the Path button in the toolbar use the Customize Toolbar menu option in any Finder window to place it in the toolbar.

How do I transfer iphoto library to external hard drive keeping events intact?

Had a one to one session but forgot how to do this. I would like to transfer my iphoto library to an external hard drive keeping the folders and events intact. I figured out how to send all my photos to the hard drive but they all transfer in single images, if that makes sense, and then i have to go thru all of the 15,000 images by hand and sort them into folders. Ahhhhhhh!
When they showed me how to do this at apple I am able to open my external hard drive and see a folder labled 'iphotolibrary" and I am able to click it open and then all my events show up just like in iphoto library.
Also does your iphoto library "Trash" take up space on your HD? Forgve me if thats a dumb question but I am kind of a computer "dummy".
thanks so much. My hard drive has VERY little space left on it so I need to transfer ASAP.

I just posted this to another topic, but it applies here as well. Hopefully there's no prohibition on cross-posting on this board, my apologies to all if there is:
"I haven't read the whole thread, so someone could have already mentioned this, but I did the same thing, move my music library to an external drive. The Help articles are helpful, but only up to a point. When that didn't work, I called up AppleCare support up, and they took me through all the standard steps, and got stumped at the same point I did. Finally she suggested trying something, and that ended up doing the trick. So here in brief is what you do:
1) Copy over your "iTunes Music" folder to the external hard drive
2) Go into Advanced preferences to have iTunes look for the "iTunes Music" folder in the new location. If you're like me, your music won't appear in the Library.
3) In iTunes, go to the Library window (which is probably blank), then in a Finder window, find the icon for the "iTunes Music" folder in the new location. Drag that icon onto the Library window.
You should now see a progress window pop up showing all the songs that it's populating the Library window with."

How to make a photo black & White while keeping the photo subject in colour?

I am new to PS but not photography
I would like to know how i can make my scene in my photo black and white, while keeping the suject in the photo colour.
any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Baba,
Below are some step-by-step instructions that show you how to acheive this effect very easily with the Quick Selection Tool and a Black & White Adjustment Layer.
1. Open up your image in Photoshop. In the toolbar, click on the Quick Selection Tool and select your subject.
2. Go to Select > Refine Edge and use the dialog box to clean up your selection - I've enabled the Smart Radius option and increased the selection radius. When you're done, click OK.
3. Go to Select > Inverse.
4. Locate the Adjustments panel - by default, it should be located above the Layers panel (in CS6), but if you can't find it, go to Window > Adjustments. Click on the Black & White adjustment icon, as shown below. Your subject will stay in color, but the setting should turn black and white, as you can see below.
For more on using Adjustment Layers, below is a quick video that goes over the basics:
If you have further questions, feel free to post a reply!
Cheers,

How do I add to my library, while keeping songs on external hd

I have a huge music collection on an external hd. When I "add to my library", the songs are being saved on my macs hd- I dont want that to happen.
I would like to be able to access my entire music collection thru itunes without using up all my macs memory.
My old pc used to add songs to my library, while keeping the songs on my external hd.
Anyone have any idea's

Another option is to have your iTunes library stored on your external hd.
Hold down the option key when you load up iTunes and you'll be presented with a dialog that asks if you want to open an existing library or create a new one. Create a new one and save it to your external hd.
Import your songs from wherever they are (I recommend enabling the copy to iTunes library setting in your options and then once you're satisfied, delete the originals which will now be duplicated).
From now on, everytime you load up iTunes it will automatically launch the library on your external hd and everytime you add a song it will automatically copy to the right place on your external hd.
Front Row will also act the same... it will automatically pick up your external iTunes library with no extra configuration. Easy.
