Iphoto and cloud storage

Does anyone know of a solution which allows me to store iPhoto pictues in "the cloud." The goal here is to be able to view photos on my apple tv or iPad without having to rely on my laptop always being on with home sharing enabled.
The only solution I have come across so far would be to use iPhoto in parallel with Google Picasca for mac to upload photos to Picasca Web Albums.
Does Apple have any plans to have perminate storage on iCloud for this?

You are correct, there is no Apple iCloud solution for photos. I would like to be able to use iCloud for permanent storage instead of paying another third-party to store my photos where they will not easily be accessible from my Apple devices.
Therefore, Apple is suggesting I leave my computer on with iTunes running home sharing 24/7 to be able to access my meida since they are not offering me a solution "in the cloud" for photo storage.
I was just trying to see if anyone else had run into this issue, as everyone seems to be moving toward "the cloud" now a days to store and share media. Or see if anyone had come across a home NAS solution which you store your meida at home but still have it accessible via my Apple TV 2 or iPad without needing to have iTunes open with home sharing enabled, possible on Linux server.

IPhoto and Images Storage Question

I've started a task of scanning in a bunch of old negitive strips. The strips are not organized so I never know whats really on them until I've scanned them. What I have been doing is scanning all the negitives to a scan folded on the desktop. When I've scanned them all in I create other folders on the desktop that are named by the event. After I put all the pics into the appropiate folders I drag the folder from my desktop into iPhoto. Normally this works fine if but when I try to drag a single or set of pics into an existing event in iPhoto it creates a new "unnamed event". How can I move these pics over to an existing filder. Also, can I put the folder that I created on the desktop into the trash once the pics have been imported into iPhoto so I dont have two copies laying around?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim
You cannot import to a specific event. You can however move pics between events in the iPhoto Window to consolidate them - drag and drop will do it.
Assuming that you’re using iPhoto in the default mode, then the pics are copied into the iPhoto Library, therefore yes, you can delete the versions on the desktop.

How to store pictures in the cloud storage

Can you store pictures in the cloud service? What would the cost be and if at all possible or is it only for music..Thanks...

Jason, is there a way to store the photos into a permanent cloud storage and keep them there? I guess, something like the itunes music, where apple saves all of your music....Thank you for the site, which has helped me considerably to understand what it is all about...Ciao, Jo
Jo, not that I'm aware of as an offering from Apple. While the photo stream can serve that purpose for a finite period of time (it's a rolling 1,000) if you're looking for web/cloud hosting or something similar to the galleries feature that .Mac/MobileMe offered you'll need to seek it elsewhere. The good news, there are numerous cloud storage services out there most of which offer free storage ranging between 2GB and 5GB.
I personally use Dropbox.com for photo galleries and cloud storage/file sharing. But there's several to pick from and all of them are quite good.

Is it possible to have a cluster Disk from cloud storage

I have a use case where my destination array of my primary storage array I want to keep in the cloud. Using cloud storage controllers i believe it's possible to have data replication on the remote cloud storage.
Now using microsoft clustering i want to create a cluster of two nodes - Node A and Node B. Both these nodes are in my org premises.
With Node A i connect the local storage array and present a SAN disk to it. This SAN disk is imported into the microsoft failover cluster as a cluster disk.
With Node B I want to connect a virtual disk obtained directly from cloud. This cloud disk is the destination disk (due to the data replication between the two disks they will always be trying to sync) of the primary disk which we connected to Node A.
My Question is whether it's possible to have such a virtual disk carved out from cloud storage which can be included as a cluster disk into microsoft failover cluster. And at the backend act as the destination disk of my local storage array disk.
sk

so I think you have two issues here. The first is you want replication between your local SAN and cloud storage, which I haven't seen any commercially available options so far.
The other is you want to use a disk on top of cloud storage. In Azure you have the option to use Azure Drive which implements an NTFS drive on top of Blob Storage. However this only works from inside Azure, you can't mount a drive from Azure Storage to a
local machine.
Another point about your setup is the cluster resource - typically you setup a cluster using a shared resource, read both of your nodes would access the same resource. In your outlined scenario though you're trying to replace the shared resource by a replicated
resource, I'm not quite sure if this is a valid setup for the cluster. Otherwise you won't be able to use Azure Drive as Shared resource since both nodes would have R/W while Azure Drive allows only exclusive R/W for one node.
Seems there are some issues with your concept outside of the Azure part which you may need to verify.

Is this the best design for asynchronous notifications (such as email)? Current design uses Web Site, Azure Service Bus Queue, Table Storage and Cloud Service Worker Role.

I am asking for feedback on this design. Here is an example user story:
As a group admin on the website I want to be notified when a user in my group uploads a file to the group.
Easiest solution would be that in the code handling the upload, we just directly create an email message in there and send it. However, this seems like it isn't really the appropriate level of separation of concerns, so instead we are thinking to have a separate
worker process which does nothing but send notifications. So, the website in the upload code handles receiving the file, extracting some metadata from it (like filename) and writing this to the database. As soon as it is done handling the file upload it then
does two things: Writes the details of the notification to be sent (such as subject, filename, etc...) to a dedicated "notification" table and also creates a message in a queue which the notification sending worker process monitors. The entire sequence
is shown in the diagram below.
My questions are: Do you see any drawbacks in this design? Is there a better design? The team wants to use Azure Worker Roles, Queues and Table storage. Is it the right call to use these components or is this design unnecessarily complex? Quality attribute
requirements are that it is easy to code, easy to maintain, easy to debug at runtime, auditable (history is available of when notifications were sent, etc...), monitor-able. Any other quality attributes you think we should be designing for?
More info:
We are creating a cloud application (in Azure) in which there are at least 2 components. The first is the "source" component (for example a UI / website) in which some action happens or some condition is met that triggers a second component or "worker"
to perform some job. These jobs have details or metadata associated with them which we plan to store in Azure Table Storage. Here is the pattern we are considering:
Steps:
Condition for job met.
Source writes job details to table.
Source puts job in queue.
Asynchronously:
Worker accepts job from queue.
Worker Records DateTimeStarted in table.
Queue marks job marked as "in progress".
Worker performs job.
Worker updates table with details (including DateTimeCompleted).
Worker reports completion to queue.
Job deleted from queue.
Please comment and let me know if I have this right, or if there is some better pattern. For example sake, consider the work to be "sending a notification" such as an email whose template fields are filled from the "details" mentioned in
the pattern.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
This development mode can exclude some errors, such as the file upload complete at the same time... from my experience, this is a good choice to achieve the goal.

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Can I buy additional cloud storage and how much does it cost?

have gone over my 20g allowance for cc so can I buy additional cloud storage and how much does it cost?

Hi, in my opinion it's best to use that laptop as is and upgrade next year. On top of that the cpu is running at 1.6Ghz which isn't very fast.
Nonetheless, there are a few 4GB sticks for laptops. Not all laptops dimm slots support 4GB in each but yours does and that's a good thing. Only downside to this ram stick is the price. Very expensive.

How do I include iPhoto and iTunes in my cloud backup?

How do I backup iPhoto and itunes to the cloud?

On your iPad? See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

HT201318 Have purchased i cloud storage and found i dont need it! It says i have 90 days to get refund and contact apple store! How do i do this! Cant find contact! Linda

TOday i bought extra i cloud storage for i pad! Found i didnt need it! It says i have 90 days to cancel it and contact Apple! Dont know where to contact right dept! It cost me £14 for nothing! Can anyone help?
LInda

90 Days?? I think it's more like 15 days. Here's a post from some time ago that may help...
Hooray!!! I finally got the information on how to get a refund within 15 days for icloud storage upgrade!
Just call 1-800-MYIPHONE
Your call will initially be handled by a first level technical person, but he will have to refer you to a senior advisor because they are the only ones who can issue a refund.
Once you have a senior advisor on the phone, he will ask for your Apple ID, last 4 of your credit card or a security question, and then issue a refund IMMEDIATELY.

I have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.

i have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.how do i delete all of this?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Cloud storage for mac and pc files

I am presently PC user that uses Carbonite for my cloud backup. I am going to be switching to the new iMac soon. I plan on using a Parallel or Fusion so I can continue using Photodex, Quickbooks for PC and Quicken for PC. I understand that Carbonite can only backup either Apple or PC files, not both on the same account. Are there any other cloud storage options that will back up both Apple and PC files?

DropBox dos do it automatically, & outside of their 2 GB fre, I've seen far better deals, but with my slw Internet, I only use local backups, & didn't note those deals.
