if i store my photos in iphoto but delete it from my computer will my pictures still be stored? (it's not in iphoto photo stream)

Depends
If you have a default managed library and import photos they are copied to the iPhoto library and you can delete the soruce copy
Not at all sure if htat answers your question or not

How do I keep movies on my Iphone, but delete them from my computer as well?

I've got a computer with limited hard drive space left due to an exhaustive game library. As such, I can only 'afford' to fit maybe 8 gigs (2 or so) worth of media downloads on it. And suffice to say, downloading media with my computer is much preferable to sloooooowly doing it over the cloud.
The problem, however, is that I know that there's a crazy amount of autonomy in Itunes' decisions, namely that deleting a file from your computer will make Itunes decide that the Iphone doesn't get to keep it either.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?

Hi
If I keep them on itunes thet will sync over to the ipod when connected.We didnt want them on the opod because when on shuffle they will play which isnt what we want.any ideas appreciated.
Cheers

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

i can't tell if my question is the same, or slightly different, but this thread seems closest to my question so i will ask it here so as to not duplicate:
on my iphone 6 i have icloud photos beta on. in iphoto on my computer, i have photostream on, but auto import off. so, the only thing i have for photo stream photos is "icloud" under the shared heading.
when i delete a photo from the icloud section in photo, it does not delete it from the photos beta app in beta.icloud.com. if i had auto import turned on, i would think this would be normal functioning with respect to the actual events that get imported, but since i have it turned off and am working with photostream itself i would have thought it would delete from the photos app on the website when i delete it from the stream in iphoto.
similarly, deleting a photo from the photos app on the icloud website does not delete it from the iphoto photostream if i had already opened iphoto and thus the album had already been updated (though if i delete the photo from the beta website before opening iphoto, it won't show up in iphoto since it was deleted from photostream before iphoto updated from photostream).
so, as it stands - my iphoto only sort of syncs with photostream. is everyone experiencing this? i'll be honest - i still don't get the new icloud drive and photos, so maybe the issue i am having is exactly what the photos app for osx is intended to correct when it comes out next year. or am i just wrong in how i think the syncing is supposed to function?

IPhoto '08: If I delete a photo in the photo library it also deletes it from the album it's in. Why?

iPhoto '08: If I delete a photo in the photo library it also deletes it from the album it's in. Why? How do I stop that?

1. Forget your goal. There is no way to have a Photo in iPhoto that's not in the Library. Can't be done. Impossible.
2. Events are the Library. They are a view of the photos in the Library based on date taken, that's all. Every photo in iPhoto is in the Library, and as Events are also a view of the Library, every photo is in an Event. So, you can't "take a library photo and put it in an Event". It's already in an Event.
3. I'm guessing that what you are calling the Library is the Photos view? That's the Library viewed not broken up by dates. But Photos and Events are two views of the same thing - two doors into the same room, as it were.

Somehow lost ALL photos in iphoto without deleting them

Somehow I lost ALL the photos in iphoto without deleting them. I was deleting word documents, as this computer belong to my sis-n-law. I restarted the computer and it went to the original factory state. My ical was back to factory. ALL my photos were gone!!! Not sure what I did. PLEASE HELP!!!
Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. iMac, 7,1

What I was hoping to do is upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I was removing old word documents that were my sister-n-laws, as this was her computer she used for work. So, there was a lot of stuff I didn't need and wanted to free up memory. I didn't delete any system files or anything like that. The next day I restarted the computer and it set everything back to the original factory state. ALL my photos were gone, my iCal was back to factory and my Safari bookmarks were gone. I did get back or found some documents I created. But Can't find or get back any of the Photos!

I just upgraded to IOS 8 and a ton of pictures appeared on my iphone from my computer. I want them saved in my iphoto but not on my phone. If I delete them from my phone will they delete on my computer?

No they will not delete. If you are nervous about that, connect your phone to your computer and import the photos into iPhoto and drag them into a new folder on your desktop.

I purchased (and have now deleted Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto. How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?

I purchased (and have now deleted) Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto. (Aperture was simply too much program for me.) How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto? Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumber than dumb question. I simply want all vestiges of Aperture to go away with losing all my albums. Any help would be appreciated!

Aperture added a second view to your library.
You now have an additional section in your Source list , called events. But this section lists exactly the same events that you are seeing in the "Events" view. Don't delete anything from there, or you will delete your photos. But you can press the "Hide" button to collaps that section. But someday you may want to use this list. It makes it very easy to move photos between events.

How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

Ok you can reset the stream from www.icloud.com
Goto www.icloud.com
Login with your iCould username and password.
and login
Then click on your name in the top right hand side of the screen next to sign out,
it opens a window Account details with Language, Time Zone, Advanced
Select Advanced - Then click Reset Photo Stream. and confirm, the stream will be reset and totally deleted
I still think you should be able to remove individual pictures though, a blured image etc is a problem

Yes - you need a min of 10 GB just to operate - with just 1 you certainly can lose photos and other critical things - you need to make space immediately - probably by moving your iPhoto library to a volume formatted Mac OS extended -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can I find photos in iPhoto 4.0.3 from Time Machine?

How can I find photos in iPhoto 4.0.3 from Time Machine? I'm using an eMac with OS X 10.5.8.

Hi Gary,
I never use TM myself...
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

Can't imagine something not being covered there.

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.
