I have a shared photo stream, are those shared photos taking up space on the i devices of the people I am sharing with?
I am getting conflicting answers about this question, which to me it seems like a simple no since these photos sit on another server. Now if the person I am sharing with decides to download some photos then yeah it's taking up space on their i device. But if they dont and are simply viewing my shared photo stream my though is that those photos do no eat up space on their i device.
How much space depends on the size of the photos and how many there are.
Settings > general > usage > photos & camera. The shared albums will be included along with other photos.

I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?
If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there. -
is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album. for example: There is a album called Fred. I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder. I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
Many thanks Jaz EillesSounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it. Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos. So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album. -
I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.
Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
*Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
*Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant" made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119

Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?
Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning"). But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
HELP, please -

I have an external hard drive, can I set a password on this? The drive is already populated with data
ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.
Phil0124 wrote:
You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine. -
Photos taking up space on IPhone when I don't have any photos
I deleted all the photos off my IPhone 4s and put them on my iphoto to clear up some space. However, under my 'Usage' it says my photos are taking up 114mb (77mb for my camera roll and 35 for my photo library), but I don't have any photos on my phone at all and I also don't have my photo stream or cloud sharing. Why is it saying it's taking up space? And what can I do to clear this 114mb?
Are you using iCloud photo library beta.
Are any of your photos actually video. -

Why do I have photos taking up space
I am tryin to sync my iPhone but its saying that I dont have enough space. Looking at whats taking up alot of the space, it says "photos". Yet I do not have anything ticked in the options to sync photos. I have sync several times to ensure it was up to date, but still not luck.
Why on earth does it say I have so much space of photos when I am not syncing ANY photos?
Any advice?
ThanksAh yes I do. Upon checking I realise that I have a heap of photos from Photo Stream. Im confused though because most of which are from photos from within iPhoto.

latest version loads the main banner of page then takes too much time loading the content of page > I have even had to stop the page loading and refresh before it will load properly> I did not experience this before installing the latest version the pages used to load insantaneously. I am not the only one experiencing this as my friend has reverted back to explorer.
Please can you do something about this.It could be caused by a Firewall. Disable your internet security and then see if QT will open.
Are you an administrator account? It could be a permissions issue. Open the User Accounts control panel to see what type of account you have. Open the QT control panel to File Types. Does it show programmatically set? If so that will indicate permissions have been set by an administator.
Also are there too many applications running at once or loading at start up? Look down at the bottom right corner of the screen, is it loaded with icons? If so close them all out and stop them from running at start up, then see if QT will open. The only application that should load at start up is your internet security and maybe volume control, anything else you can open as needed.
If none of the above is a solution than I can help you uninstall QT and install, if so what version of QT is on the computer now. Open the QT control panel and click on About QuickTime -
Photos taking up space but do not seem to be there.
I have an iphone 5 and when I am plugged in and trying to sync to itunes it shows that roughly 6 gigs of space is taken up by photos. I have deleted most of the photos off of my phone and as far as I can tell only 600 remain. When I role over the storage indicator (on screen where you are syncing on itunes) it says there are over 4K pictures. How can I find and delete these photos?
Not sure what you mean by external camera photos, but iCloud backs up the photos in the camera roll only - the photos that you take with the iPad camera or that you save from websites and emails. It does not backup up synced photos since you already have access to those.
The only way that you can access those backup end up photos is by restoring from a backup.
