ITunes and Photos - Storage Mismatch

Dear All,
Since upgrading to the iOS 8.0.2, i've had a problem with my photo storage not matching between the phone and iTunes.
So, upon syncing the iPhone it states i have 2539 (6.19 Gb) of photos on my phone, however, on my phone it says i only have 944 under collections/moments (the repalcement for the camera roll). Shared storage we know if iCloud and not part of this total. Albums only have 226 recently added.
So where are all my photos on the phone? I've run out of space, it's syncing with 0 photos and i can't find a solution.
Please help!
Thanks
Adrian

You need to ask that on the iPhone forum.

If I only need web access, Itunes and photo storage can I buy a mac air?

If I only use my computer for internet, photos, calandar, music etc. Will the MacBook Air be enough for me?

How much room do you need for your photos and music? Because I'm not so sure that you'll need the 13" Air with 256gb. If your photo library and music library are relatively modest, you could get away with an iPad.
So let me ask you, given what you've got, how much storage do you need? Would 64gb be too little, or roomy? And would this be your only computer or do you have a desktop? I ask that because it makes a difference whether you want to have everything on the laptop and with you all the time, or if you're keeping most stuff on the desktop and only want the laptop to have things you're working or want with you while you're out and about. In the second scenario, an iPad or smaller Air would do just fine.
If, on the other hand, you have hefty photo/music libraries including videos, or if you plan on making this laptop your primary computer, then, yes, an Air would be better.

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good.

I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good. Though as Mac has 2.0 is this fast enough? I am a basic user, surfing only.

If you plan on using the WD with the Mac after the iTunes transfer I would strongly recommend against WD. WD external HD's tend to be the most troublesome with Macs. If you intend to use the drive for backup using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone then I'd recommend a higher quality drive than WD. The drives I'd recommend in that case would be:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
These are all high quality drives and enclosures with similar features. Personally I use the LaCie's however I would be happy to have OWC and G-Tech on my desk too. FWIW I've been using the LaCie's for 4 years and have 4 of them, all work perfectly and have never given me any trouble.

HT4889 how do you import itunes and photos from my old mac book to my new macbook air

I have just purchased a new mac book air and want to transfer my itunes and photos form my old to new. Is there any easy way to do this as most of the tutorials seem to want to move everything and my old mac book is 512GB but my new air is 256GB solid state. I do not want to move everything ( except for itunes) but it seems to be difficult to select bits and pieces. Also is there a need to transfer all the user information form my old to new or can I start fresh? And can you still use the old mac and thenew mac with the same itunes library?

Hi pjktl,
The document that you are referencing shows screen shots under the Firewire/Thunderbolt section that shows how you can selectively migrate parts of the Macintosh HD. Skip down to that section and see if that is what you are looking for.
I don't see why you can't have the same library on both Macs, but I don't know if there is any way to keep them in sync, and you need to select one of them to sync your iTunes content with (this does not include Photos, as they are kept in the iPhone library. My husband and I sync our devices with the iTunes library on his Mac, but sync our photos with the iPhoto library on my Mac. You just have to make sure you have the device profile screens set up correctly for each device in each library).
Also, you can set up the User information as new on the new Mac
Cheers,

How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
No.
... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

Opening another account and wants all itunes and photos to go on other account but wont work.

im trying to open another sign in account and its just started it with no information in it like no songs in itunes or photos. how can i make it so 2 accounts are the same but in 2 different names?

Itunes floder canot be shared whit multiple users and that means that 2 user accounts means 2 itunes maps duplicates if you have 1gb of musick it wil than be 2 gb if you wand it on the two acounts.
there are many ways on doing this if you wand it thou i would not advise this unless you have a small amount of music.
the photo's wil be ease and the only thing you will need to do is:
go to Pictures in you're home folder and move "iPhoto Library" ore the photo's and move it to
/Macintosh HD/users/Shared
if you cant tis map and haven't renamed the hard drive go to finder cick on go in the menu an then on
"Go to map..." and copy: /Macintosh HD/users/Shared
p.s. if you use iphoto the first time after moving you will need to open it by duble ckikking the "iPhoto Library" you moved in the shared map

Can you sync iTunes and photos from AppleTV back to iTunes? HD Crash

I recently had a major HD crash on my MBP and I installed a new HD + Leopard. I have my iTunes library and photos on my AppleTV and I was hoping when I sync iTunes on my MBP with AppleTV that I can get my libary back into iTunes.
Is this possible in some settings trick?
(I'm currently trying DataRescueII to recover files that I hadn't backupped recently including recently purchased iTunes songs).

Unfortunately it isn't that simple, don't try syncing now, leave it disconnected until you know what you want to do. There are ways to recover the date yourself which involve taking the unit apart or other potentially difficult routines. If you are at all in any doubt about doing anything like this and the data on the tv is valuable to you, you might consider taking it to a data recovery specialist that has experience with  equipment.

If I move my itunes and photo libraries to an external drive, will they still be backed up via time machine (on another external drive)?

I have 2 external drives, one of which I would like to use to store my iphoto and itunes libraries (to create space on my laptop hard drive). Then I have a 1tb drive that I'm going to use for my time machine backup. Will I be able to back up the itunes and iphoto libraries from the external drive onto the time machine drive with the rest of the files that are on my laptop hard drive? Thanks.

Depends on the version of the OS that you are using I would post on the forum for the version of the OS that you are using.
Later version od Time machine will, definitely. If the version you have doesn't, then there are plenty of 3rd party back up utilities that wll do the job for you.
If you're moving the iPhoto Library then remember the disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Best Practice for very large itunes and photo library..using Os X Server

Ok setup....
one Imac, one new Macbook Pro, one Macbook, all on leopard. Wired and wireless, all airport extremes and express'
have purchased a mac mini plus a firewire 800 2TB Raid drive.
I have a 190GB ever increasing music library (I rip one to one no compression) and a 300gb photo library.
So..question Will it be easier to set up OS X Server on the mini and access my itunes library via that?
Is it easy to do so?
I only rip via the Imac, so the library is connected to that and shared to the laptops...how does one go about making the imac automatically connect to the music if i transfer all music to the server ?
The photo bit can wait depending on the answer to the music..
many thanks
Adrian

I have a much larger itunes collection (500gb/ 300k songs, a lot more photos, and several terabytes of movies). I share them out via a linux server. We use apple TV for music/video and the bottleneck appears to be the mac running itunes in the middle. I have all of the laptops (macbook pros) set up with their own "instance" of itunes that just references the files on the server. You can enable sharing on itunes itself, but with a library this size performance on things like loading cover art and browsing the library is not great. Please note also I haven't tried 8.x so there may be some performance enhancements that have improved things.
There is a lag on accessing music/video on the server of a second or so. I suspect that this is due to speed in the mac accessing the network shares, but it's not bad and you never know it once the music starts or the video starts. Some of this on the video front may be the codec settings I used to encode the video.
I suspect that as long as you are doing just music, this isn't going to be an issue for you with a mini. I also suspect that you don't need OSX server at all. You can just do a file share in OSX and give each machine a local itunes instance pointing back at the files on the server and have a good setup.

Yosemite, new iTunes and photo sync

Hi
I asked this question in another thread a few days but got no response. Perhaps I asked the question in the wrong way.
I have a new macbook pro.
I installed Yosemite and updated iTunes to version 12.
When I connect my iPhone 5 I can't see how to sync photos.
Previously in iTunes 11 you could move across the tabs and select preferences re how music, apps, photos etc would sync.
In itunes 12 it comprises only a drop down list - but photos is not included in the drop down list.
So, how do I sync photos?
Thanks

I worked it out!
Open itunes. Underneath the traffic lights is a row of icons, music, TV etc, an ellipsis, a divider and then an iPhone icon. Click on the iPhone icon and the 'old' tabs appear (almost). They are vertical and not horizontal. Select Photos and the dialogue appears. In my case sync with iPhoto.
Why I didn't see the iPhone icon earlier I don't know!

ITunes and Network Storage Issues

I have 3 computers, all Vista, and have my ITunes Library on a NAS. When downloading music fron the ITunes Store on each computer, the new files are downloaded to the local machine, not to the NAS. What can be changed so that when anyone purchases a new song or app they are downloaded to the NAS, not the local machine, I know that each library is showing different song counts as the are not syncing properly with the NAS so we are all missing songs that each has downloaded.

iTunes copies purchased tracks and ripped CDS into the iTunes Music folder as designated in the local computer's iTunes preferences.
You could set the location of the iTunes folder to the NAS drive. This would copy the tracks there but not add them to the other PCs library database. That would have to be done manually from each PC.
However you could take a look at a third party utility such as Tune Ranger:

Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage

I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?

Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.

Time Capsule for Time Machine and Photo Storage

Hi,
Can I use a Time Capsule to store my iPhoto Library and use it to back up my Mac at the Same time?
Thanks

My iPhoto Library is very large and I would like to put it on two or three separate external HDD's in Order to Save Space on my Mac and start fresh.
You have a question for the experts in the iPhoto support area. I would imagine that they will very strongly discourage this....even if it might be possible, which I doubt that it is since the library is a special package file.
iPhoto
Can I use a Time capsule to store Files at the Same Time as using it for Time machine?
Sure, but if you move an "original" file from a computer to the Time Capsule, then the only copy that you have of that file is now on the Time Capsule. You have no backup. So, I would only do this with data that you could afford to lose.
I would never put an iPhoto library on a Time Capsule unless it was strictly for backup purposes.....never for use as an "everyday" library.
if i have an external HDD Pfluges into my Mac when Time Machine is Banking up, will it Backup whatever is on the HDD?
Yes, as I already mentioned in the first response above.....
A much better and safer plan might be to add another USB or FireWire hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac. Move the iPhoto library (or other data) to the hard drive. Now, when Time Machine backs up, it will backup both your Mac and the iPhoto library. (on the attached hard drive).

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
