How should I store and handle all my photos?

I have an iphone and ipad. I take all my photos on my iphone. Is there a safe way to store all of them? In the past I had a desktop and stored all photos on a cd. Now I think that's a bit outdated perhaps and I don't have a desktop anymore.

I wish to second the other two replies you have received so far in an effort to show how right they are.
Neither the iPhone nor the iPad are good place for long term storage of your photos.
My suggestion is to get them to a computer as quickly as possible and then backup them up from there.
Only after that is you want them on a mobile device, you can move them back again.
As to all of the rumors that you hear about the death of the computers, I think it is a lot of hype. The devices like the iPhone and iPad are nowhere near ready to replace then yet.

I was getting an app in the store and finished all the logins/confirmations and such, and then this "download now" button comes up that i can't click, and now everytime i open app store this unclickable button is there and i can't get it to go away

Hi
i was getting an app in the app store and did all the logins and confirmations and stuff, and when that was done a thing pops up in the middle of the screen that said "download now" and an OK button, but i can't click it.. and not anywhere else, so i can't use the app store for anything else until this thing is gone, so anyone know how to fix this?

If you Go to the app store on your phone, then go to updates you should have a purchased icon at the top.
Click on that and it will show the apps you have downloaded before as they are stored on the icloud.
Then you should be able to click on the app and redownload it, not sure if it will charge but its worth a try.

Media browser - How should I store a movie to be replayed on my computer?

Under iMovie>Share>Media browser, that window says "This allows you to view your project in iMovie even when the original content is unavailable." Does this mean I can delete the project or original clips and still see the movie I put together?
If not, what does it mean?
I'd like to keep a copy of the iMovie I've created somewhere on my computer (or an external disk drive) so I can see it at better resolution than DVD can provide. At the same time I want to delete all the source clips, photos, music that went into it to free up space, clear directories, etc. How should I store the movie?

It would be safest to store it in iTunes.
You can store it in Media Brower also, but if you edit your movie at all, the Media Browser copy gets deleted, because it assumes you will want to re-share your movie. The copy you Shared to iTunes will not be automatically deleted.
When you share to iTunes, a copy is automatically shared with Media Browser.
If you prefer, you can use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and name a folder to store your movie.
It is then possible to go to iTunes Preferences and uncheck the box that automatically adds new files to iTunes. You can then drag the movie into iTunes, but it will only have a link to your folder. This is how I do it so I don't end up with multiple copies, and I can see my movies in a single folder.

I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums. How do I find them and put them back in? (1800 photos.) Help.

I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums. (1800 photos.) How do I find them
and put them back where they belong?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine. I updated to elements 12.1. Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files. How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

How do I store and delete files on the iphone

how do I store and delete files on the iphone

Files/documents need to be stored/associated within an app on the iPad, unlike 'normal' computers there is no file system which allows you to save files with no means of being able to read/use them. So if you want to store a file on the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports that file type.
How you then get the file onto the iPad and into the app will depend on what the app is and what transfer method(s) it supports. e.g. some apps use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, some apps support the transfer of files via your wifi network, the iBooks app uses the Books section of your iTunes (and the device's Books tab) to sync content, and other transfer methods include email attachments, Dropbox etc. The file is then found by going into your chosen app and opening/using the file.

How can I store and retrieve a Word file after it's been converted to a pdf?

How do I store and retrieve a Word file after it's been converted to an PDF? My file has been trapped in PDF"hell" assigned to a folder that cannot be opened or read, but when deleted, also deletes the original Word file...

I think we need some more info here like, how are you converting to PDF. This is the Reader forum and it doesn't convert files to PDF.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?

HI,
I have an Iphone 4, and bought mostly all of my Apps from my Iphone.
I needed a certain App called Viber and tried to download it.
I didn't work and it told me to download it from my computer (Macbook pro) Itunes,
which i did, then i synched (my error) my iphone to my mac, then it erased all my apps from my iphone.
My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?
Do i have to go find them manually and download them again?

I'm guessing on the computer you connected to you were not logged into our account in iTunes and/or you never transferred your apps from your iPhone to your computer.
Yes, you will need to download all of them again manually.

How do i reset and erase all content settings when i dont know my restriction password

How do I reset and erase all content without knowing a restriction passcode

You can't. You have to get into settings in order to erase all content and settings. You have to restore the devics using iTunes and you have to restore as new or if you restore the backup, you will just be restoring the restrictions code that you can't remember.
Do not backup the iPad since you will not be able to use it.
