HT4858 Photos take up too much iCloud data

I've deleted most photos from my Camera Roll and my Photo Stream, I only have 114 photos altogether now, but the photos are still taking up 4.5GB of my iCloud data, can anyone explain why?

The only photos stored on icloud are...
1) photos in the camera roll that are included in a backup to icloud.  But you can turn off backups of such photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned OFF if you don't want to store photos in a backup.
2) Photos stored in photo stream.  But these do not count against your storage, so it doesn't matter.
That's it.  There are no other photos on icloud that you can remove.

  • HT1386 How can you stop the iPod from syncing photos ot it?  It takes up too much space!!!!!

    I just got an iPod and am setting things up, but I don't want it to sync my photos from my computer to the iPod as it takes up too much space.  How do I stop it from syncing the photos?

  • Upgraded to iPhoto '11, info tray takes up too much space?

    Is there a way of resizing or moving the info tray from the side of screen to the bottom like '09 version?
    Mostly interested in minimal view to see date, size of photo taken. Screen size on 13.3" so info bar takes up too much space.

    No.  That feature is hard coded into the app.  Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.  The Command+i key combination can quickly open and close the Info tray to get it out of your way.

  • Yosemite OS is consuming too much internet data in the background

    Yosemite OS is consuming too much internet data in the background for no apparent reason. It's draining my monthly internet quota. It's important to note that iCloud Drive and photo stream are disabled. Anyone knows how to sove this problem? Otherwise, if there's no solution I think I'll downgrade to Mavericks.

    I'm wondering if you ever resolved this issue. My internet access is via satellite with highly allocated data usage. Ever since updating to Yosemite, my usage has gone through the roof. I've disable automatic downloads and any settings (including iCloud photo stream) that might receive or send data, plus I never use Spotlight. Data usage goes to zero when I shut off WiFi, so it seems obvious that something running in the background is the culprit. Apple is looking into this, with no results so far - meanwhile, I've lost hours of time playing detective, and hoping my ISP won't cut me off. No fun!
    Thanks for any ideas you have...

  • Why do I have to run the plug-in container in my processes constantly in this version? It takes up too much memory!

    The earlier version of Firefox did not run this plug-in container. Every time I would remove it from my processes it would kill videos etc. But, it was all fine in the older version of Firefox, so why the change? So I chose not to update Firefox. Then, the other day, I saw that is was automatically downloading and I turned off my computer because it wouldn't stop and I didn't give permission. When I got home I could not use Firefox and it took me hours to figure out how to get the internet back. Then I got Firefox back and this stupid process is running again. It takes up too much memory. I don't like a bunch of extra processes running like that. So, why can't I just use the old version? Is this process absolutely necessary?

    In the past the memory usage would end up as part of the Firefox program. Now with OOPP you can see it as a separate process and that makes it more noticeable.
    You can disable OOP if you want.<br />

  • How do i get rid of these dumb icons on my menu bar. they are not useful and they take up too much room. why did you do this?

    i just upgraded to the new version of firefox. for some inexplicable reason, you've added icons to the left of my personal menu choices in the menu bar. these icons are purely decorative, they take up too much room, and now i can't display as many clickable items in the menu bar. extremely irritating. if you are going to add junk, at least give us the option to not display it. is there a way that i can turn off the display of these useless icons?

    thank you! that worked! appreciate how quickly and accurate the support was.
    that said,
    it would be nice if the icons were the add-on,
    and the default was no icons.
    i'm sure the majority of your users would prefer function rather than fluff.
    thanks again, mj

    I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

    I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
    In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
    Start again but copy files in small amounts.

  • Why do photos take up so much space on my phone?

    I have an iPhone 5, 16 gigs. I have 174 photos and 22 videos and it says that the photos take up 3.6g of my memory... My friend has over 2k photos and hers is at 4gigs. I saved my photos to iPhoto and I deleted all my photos and ran a test, I made sure photos were at 0gigs; Then i took 30 random photos and checked and it said that it took up 124mbs. 30 photos 124mbs. I don't understand why my photos take up so much space. I also bought the Beyonce album when it came out and thats the only music I bought and it says it takes up 1.1gigs and the 17 videos are at 974 mbs. help????

    Import the photos to your computer, then sync them back with iTunes. The photos will be reduced in size and quality to fit on the iPhone without taking as much space as the original pictures.
    Also make sure not to use HDR mode if you do not need that feature.
    After you import your photos from Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.

  • Bookmark Toolbar bookmarks have icons & take up too much space.

    Firefox 4 beta 3 added icons to the Bookmark Toolbar, i.e. folder icons next to folder drop-downs, and mini-icons for links. While they're pretty, they take up too much space. Beta 2 didn't look like this.
    How can I get rid of them?

    Not on OS X.<br />
    It is probably the first Firefox version that will have icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you get them by default.<br />
    In previous Firefox versions you need a special theme or code in userChrome to accomplish that.<br />
    Now you will need code in userChrome.css if you want to suppress those icons.
    Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css|userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files<br />

  • How do I remove the Icons next to each bookmark on the bookmark toolbar? They take up too much space and all the bookmarks I need on the toolbar dont show up.

    On my bookmarks toolbar, each bookmark has the associated webpage icon next to it. I would like to remove those icons, as they take up too much space.
    Thanks

    The icons, if you are familiar with them or they are obvious, take up less space than the words. You can abbreviate the names down to next to nothing or even nothing.
    To save space and help organization you can group bookmarks into folders on your Bookmarks toolbar.

  • The Folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar take up too much room.

    The Blue Folders and the new stuff at the right hand end in the Bookmarks Toolbar take up too much room
    I can't fit all my lists like I could with 3.6.8
    I like all the other features. I just want a fast stable browser with no frills.
    The Acid 3 test is still not correct, it is in Safari.
    The Toolbar looks very like Safari!

  • Downloaded ios 6 to iphone but don't want to install.  How do i remove download from phone.  Takes up too much room.

    The ios 6 download takes up too much room.  I don't want to install it, but I don't know how to get rid of the download.  Any way to get rid if it?

    There is no way to get rid of it now that it is earmarked for the phone. I can respect your choice to hold to Maps, but you will need to install eventually. While this may not matter to you, the Maps app has worked fine for me, however I live in the US and that could make a difference.

  • HT1473 I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. However, I'd like for them to be stored "in the Cloud" as opposed to on my PC, which would simply take up too much space. How would I go about doing this? Thanks so much

    I have a whole bunch of CDs that I would like to import into iTunes. If I do that, would the songs still reside on my PC (which would take up too much space), or is there a way to get them "into the Cloud"? Thanks so much

    Sign up to iTunes Match, though I'd consider investing in more storage. If space is a problem now then you're probably not backing up your existing media and content, which you should most certainly do.

  • Too much meta data when importing to Flickr

    I've noticed that when I export a photo directly to Flickr it seems to carry with it a TON of useless meta data. It happens when I use the Flickr export plug-in as well as updating to Flickr from their site. Here is an example of too much data (basically everything after Compression):
    http://www.flickr.com/photo_exif.gne?id=108281029&context=set-1648131
    If I retouch the photo in Photoshop then everything below image length is not include (which is my preference). Here is an example:
    http://www.flickr.com/photo_exif.gne?id=111724050&context=set-1648131
    Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone been able to change this function? Thanks!

    I have not used my EOS-M for video but the GoPro 3+ Black files import with all Metadata intact.
