How do i save photos directly to time capsule

I want to use time capsule as a hard drive primarily for photos and I am unsure how to do this. Thank you for any assistance.

Let's start over here, please. I'm sure that the Apple folks meant well, but I doubt that they really understood what you were asking.
The "originals" are on your Mac now, correct? And you want to move these "originals" to the Time Capsule, correct?
If you do this....your "originals" will be on the Time Capsule. When...not if...the Time Capsule has a problem, you have no backups for your photos and you lose everything.
For valuable data that you do not want to lose, you need at least 2 copies of everything. Originals are on one disk and backups are on another. When....not if....one disk has a problem, you at least have another copy of your valuable images.
We have seen numerous posts from users who are trying to do what you plan to do. All too often, we hear that there has been a problem with the drive...a loss of power...a mistake...any of a number of different things....and the user has lost all of their valuable data....because they had no backups.
I would never consider something like this for my images. Are you OK with having no backups? If yes, we can tell you how to move the images over.....if you will not hold us responsible for the consequences.

Save photos on my time capsule, not on my laptop.

I own a mcbook air. Since the harddrive is relatively small i want to use my timecapsule as a external harddrive. With pictures iphoto doesnot work then. so my question is. How can I configure iPhoto to see my time capsule as hard drive.
regards, degroapple

Terrence and Bob, use of an attached external hd makes sense over a networked hd, due to dropouts, and the editing we enjoy doing (creating albums, moving photos, enhancing, etc). But I've grown tired of continually having an external hd attached to my MBPro. We look at our photos quite often on the laptop but tire of moving from rom-to-room w/ the external hd. We feel that there should be a solution to be able to look at our photos separate of an attached external hd. And, admittedly we've not used our attached external hd as a true backup device, but instead as storage to hold all our photos since the laptop's internal hd is fairly small. So we actually have mo backuo for out photos at the moment.
Alternatives to having an external hd attached to the laptop:
We could buy a new laptop w/ a bigger internal hd, i suppose. Or, we could replace the internal hd w/ a larger one. Or, as many have suggested to me, we could move our photos to a networked external drive. The TC seemed to be the ideal solution to this method, but I read too many stories about TC reliability. But regardless of whether I use TC or another networked external drive, it is clear to me you don't support any use due to dropouts. I need to go back and ask these people why they so staunchly support the networked external hd if dropouts are such a danger.
Given our desire to untether from the attached external hd, what would you guys suggest I do for unattached photo storage? Obviously, I need to begin, in some manner, truly backing up whatever device I choose to store photos on.
Thanks so much guys. This decision has been weighing on me.

How can I download files directly to time capsule?

I currently have time capsule 1TB working wirelessly as a backup for my macbook. I also would like to use it as an external hard drive. I can not figure out how to do this even after reviewing the questions on the forum. I have tried to import video through imovies and the time capsule does not show as a drive I can download into. Any advice?

I also would like to use it as an external hard drive.
Open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
If the Time Capsule icon does not appear here, click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen. Click the Finder menu, then click Preferences. Click the General tab. Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to 'Connected Servers"
Click on the Time Capsule icon on the left side of the window
Double click the folder that appears on the right side of the window
This will mount the Time Capsule disk icon on the desktop
You can drag/drop, copy/paste to this disk
It is generally a good idea to reserve the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups as much as possible, as sooner or later there will be a battle for space on the drive.

Using iPhoto, editing with Photo Elements 10, How to have save photos directly to iPhoto?

I want to keep using iphoto but use editing capabilities of elements 10. I am having a hardtime saving back to iphoto. Initialy was adding text to photos and had to first "flatten" the layers to be able to save to iphoto. (realized after two hours) Otherwise could'nt. Also corrected blemishes and would not save back to iphoto. It should not be that difficult if it is advertised as "edit directly from iphoto". The saving of the edits back to iPhoto should be straightforward as well, I think. now, common sense is not that common. Can anybody enlighten me? cropping and saving, no issue. THANKS!

Are you saving by using the same format? e.g. if opening a jpeg from iPhoto it must be saved as jpeg.
If using RAW images check settings are correct under the General à Advanced tab.
After Editing in PSE you must save and close in Elements for iPhoto to update correctly. iPhoto makes a virtual copy and it’s possible to right click an image and choose revert to original. Some users prefer to start the process by right clicking an image in iPhoto and choosing duplicate. After editing in PSE, saving and closing; two separate images are visible in iPhoto (the original and the edited version)
Whichever workflow you prefer - see this tech note for further information.

How do I save photos from email directly into correct album of iphoto?

how can I save photos to the correct album in iphoto directly from email? I've been emailed photos I can't figure out how to save. Thanks!

You can drag a photo from the email window onto the Album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and it will be added to that Album. The photo will be in its own Event but will also be in the Album you dragged it to.

How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

I am a 'newby' to the discussion world. Hope I am doing this right. How best to save photos?

Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so please help..

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

How do I save photos from messenger

How can I save photos from messenger

I'm sorry, but are you referring to another app other than the native Messages App? I'm thinking that is what you are referring to, since I'm not aware of any setting like that in the native Messages app. If that is the case, it could be that you do not have Messages set to access the Camera Roll in Privacy. The app may not have access to the Camera Roll. Check that in Settings>Privacy and see if the Messages app is listed there. I'm guessing that you are referring to Facebook Messenger?

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.
