I exported 10G of movies from Iphoto but did not get new room on my hard drive. Why?

My hard drive is almost full so I exported about 10GB of movies from IPhoto to an external drive. Then I placed them in Trash. However, there was no increase on the hard drive available space after I placed those files in trash. Also, there was no trash in the trash bin. So it appears as if the files are not really being deleted. (They have disappeared from the iphoto events folder.) I also have the same movie clips in IMovie which I did not manipulate. Prior to this event I was trying to delete files from a thumb drive and also had the files disappear but there was no change in available space on that thumb drive. In that case I did the deletion on a PC and when placed back on the Mac computer the deleted space became available.
Why are file deletions not being processed to add space to the hard drive?

I can't help with iPhoto specifically since I don't use it, but just out of curiosity: did/do you empty the trash? Space is not regained until after the trash is actually emptied.
Also, when you export or drag/copy files, normally the files are copied to the new location and the originals still exist. As for space on your hard drive: you need to maintain an absolute minimum of 10 - 15 GB; more is better. If you edit/render/burn video, you need to have at least as much free space on your hard drive as the size of the files in your project if you want the machine to perform satisfactorily.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

You have to duplicate the photos unless you want to use PSE as the external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a proprietary library, which should never be messed with by programs other than iphoto. Writing to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all the pics it contains.
So you can either set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from within iphoto, or you must export the photos from iphoto to be able to use them outside that program.

Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks.

That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?

Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

I installed Mac OS 10.9.4, but did not get iLife and iWorks. How can I obtain these? Somebody talked about redemption codes, but I did not find any extra information. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance and best regards

If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install them from the computer's original disks.
If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID used to register the computer, click on the Purchases tab, and download them.
If neither of these is applicable, buy them from the Mac App Store.

Some of the photos from iPhoto 5 did not transfer to iPhoto 08. Why?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.5.8 and tried to transfer my photos which were on iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 08. Several of them did not show up. Why and how can I fix this problem? Thanks for your help.

OK, here's the long explanation. I backed up up using "Backup" software from OS 10.4.11 to a DVD, also did a backup to my iDisk using the same backup software.
Have you tried loading this backup to your new system?
I also have another Mac using the old OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5, which I used the backup DVD on and was able to transfer all the photos into it.
Will iPhoto successfully open that iPhoto library?
Then I used a SanDisk USB Flash Drive to copy the iPhoto file to the other computer with OS 10.5.8 and iPhoto 08 on it.
The best way is to connect the two systems together using a network or Firewire target mode and then drag the working iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system
Many of the photos did not transfer.
How do you know? what do you see?
Is that enough info?
certainly is better
What else can I tell you?
