I've filled up 100GB, so deleted photos. But still have 50GB of "other."  ??

In an effort to keep my MacAir 13" fully functional I've deleted some pictures. This gave me 51GB free space, as shown on the "storage" tab in "About This Mac."  I'm storing the pictures on a little Porsche Design, 1T external drive. 
I'd like to find the 37GB of "other" and store that elsewhere too.  Where is it?
About this mac shows, Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, Backups, "Other."  Other is the only big segment.

Dont worry something weird happened its all fixed now for no reason!

  • Deleted site, but still have the files

    ok, i had 2 websites in iweb. no problem, i was publishing to folders then uploading to a non .mac site. finally got .mac and uploaded my site, but it kept doing both, so i deleted the one i didn't wan ton .mac and assumed i could take the published to a folder files and add them later back into iweb.
    is this possible? or do i need to redo everything?

    Mary,
    Mount your iDisk, and navigate to your iWeb folder:
    Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/yoursitesarehere
    Drop your Site folder here. (Into the iWeb folder) iWeb publishes two things separately when you publish to a folder; an index.html file, and the Site folder itself. Just place the Site folder into your iWeb folder. (Don't modify or change it's contents) There is already an index.html file for your main iWeb folder/Site's folder(s) on your iDisk, if you still have your other site on .Mac.
    You can then visit your site at:
    http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/YourSiteName (as seen in the Site Organizer in iWeb.)

  • How to recover deleted photos but still inside the photoshop

    Hello to everybody. I have a serious problem. I bought a new mobileHDD & i transfered all my photos plus some other items.But i made one stupid thing. I deleted one folder with 480 photos before i transfer it to the HDD. I found it after one week when I already emptied the bin. All the photos are inside the Photoshop nut to use them i need to reconnect them . But how can i do that....not possible. So do you have any solution . I need the photos (summer vacation from Italy!!!)
    Please HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am sorry, but no amount of exclamation marks are going to help you. You deleted the pictures and emptied the recycle bin [and, I assume, don't do backups]. You pictures are gone.
    If the thumbnails are still showing in PSA SE, the best that could be done is to make them as big as possible and do screen captures.

  • Have been using Firefox for years, but downloaded BearShare and now it has taken over the browser. Deleted it but still have it on start page. Tried downloading firefox again and again but its still there. Cannot access my bookmarks or anything else on

    Cannot delete BearShare tool bar from top of Mozilla browser.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a day or two ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

    Hello Joe.
    If BearShare is an extension, you can go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions'' to disable or uninstall it.
    If it's a plugin, go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Plugins'', where you can disable it. To uninstall it completely, you need to contact its author for support, as it's done outside the browser. In case it's a plugin.
    I hope this helps.

  • Deleted source, but still have thumbs; convert?

    So i accidently deleted some source files to some pictures, but iPhoto still shows the thumbs. Is there anyway to easily convert the thumbs into source files so that I dont' get "missing original file" errors and such?
    What do you suggest?

    Not with any reasonable degree of quality. The pixels simply aren't there.

    There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
    In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts,  tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

  • I want to delete photos that I have backed up from my computer, but when I go to select there is a faded trash can icon which I cant access

    I want to delete photos that I have backed up from my computer, but when I go to select there is a faded trash can icon which I cant access

    If you copied the photos in question to your iPhone by connecting to itunes on your computer you need to do this again. Start itunes on your computer, connect your iPhone, select your iPhone in itunes and select the photos tab. as long as you are connecting with the same computer you should see, in the Photos TSB, a list of the photo albums on your computer. Those that were synced previously have a check mark and are selected. Deselect those you no longer want on the phone and then click on Apply or Sync. The deselected albums will be deleted from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.
    if you only want to remove a few specific photos from various albums on your iphone, then move those photos out of the albums they are in on your computer. Then sync with iTunes. The photos you removed from the albums on your computer will be deleted from the albums on your iPhone when you click on Apply or Sync.

  • HT4993 Is there a way to recover deleted photos using itunes? I found software that allows me to preview the deleted photos but it costs to completely recover the files and downliad them to my laptop. Any advice would be great!

    Purchase the software.
    Is there a way to recover deleted photos from my iphone 4?
    You have already found a way.
    Someone put some work into developing a program so if the photos are important, purchase the software.

  • Deleting Photos from iPhone4 to free up "Other" space - blunder with import?

    I imported all my photos from my iPhone4 to my Mac using Image Capture. It wasn't clear to me that "deleting after import" would delete them from my phone. Now, I have a file on my Mac with all the iPhone photos, but also have them on my phone. When I use various apps (Image Capture, iPhoto, Preview), no photos appear to delete from my phone because they've been imported. How can I delete all these photos from my Camera Roll now?
    And
    The reason I'm doing this is because I seem to have a lot of space taken up by "Other." I've cleaned my cache and texts. Cleaning up Photos/vids was the next step. I'm hoping this makes a difference, but not certain it will.
    Thanks for your input.

    Your cache of other can only be fixed by restoring and setting up as new- a backup will contain a cache of deleted texts, contacts, etc
    As for the photos not deleting they came on the phone because they were synced
    Therefore you need to sync again to remove them adjusting the syncing settings
    Plug into itunes > click on the name of your phone > you will be on the summary page > click on photos at the top right > sync photos should have a checkmark next to it if you want to sync any photos and none if you don't want any photos > if you do want photos then adjust your sync settings by just choosing selected items .. at the end hit apply at the bottom right

  • I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

    Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

    I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod?  I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

  • HT1386 I am re-building my iTunes library, but still have all the content on my iPod Classic.  I have just downloaded some songs from the store and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when i attempt this the message asks if I want to delete all content on t

    I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic.  I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store.  I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

    You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    To copy other music to the computer see:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    BTW this is the iPod touch forum

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.
