Making space on my ipad by moving photos
How do I move my photos to the cloud so they do not take up space on the IPAD?
You can start by manually managing your media. Remove songs and apps you no longer use. You can manage your iPad and iPhone seperately.

Also dvideo taken from your iPhone's camera can take up a lot of space, if you dont need them on your iPhone save them to a folder on your computer.

I'm trying to create space on my ipad by moving photos to icloud
I Spent hours yesterday backing up everything to icloud. Today I'm learning about how to use icloud. I am trying to view my photos on icloud but I need an icloud photo app. Now here's my problem. I can't download the app because I have no space. How do I know if my photos have gone into icloud? I really don't want to lose my pictures. If they have gone to icloud would it automatically free up space on my ipad?
Sorry this message is a bit garbled, but I don't really know how to explain my probs.To the best of my knowledge, POP does not support the use of folders on the mail server. Those are only availble in IMAP or Microsoft Exchange accounts. Since the Mail app in iOS doesn't support creation of folders locally, there's no way to do this for your POP account that I know of.

If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage? How do I free up more space on my iPad without removing photos?
If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them. Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device. You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device. All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update. (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.) -
Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another
Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

Is there really no other way than via third party software??
Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
Wow, really?
I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Moving photos from iPad 3 to external hard drive
I've sync'd photos from albums on my Macbook and photos from my camera to my iPad 3 64gb. I have also created albums on the iPad from the photos moved from the camera so all photos are now in albums. To free up space on the Macbook and on the camera I would like to delete the photos from these 2 sources. To be on the safe side I would like to transfer the albums, which hold about 1600 photos, from the iPad to an external portable source. Is this possble and what external hard drive is recommended. Would the Kingston Wi Drive 16GB USB 2.0 Portable do the job or would I need something with greater capacity? It's not cheap.
Thanks for your help.There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:

How do I free up space on my C drive by moving photos to a separate hard drive on the same pc?
I need to free up space on my C Drive by moving photos to Seagate expansion (H) drive. Currently use Windows Vista and elements 11 where I have organiser containing folders and albums which I want to keep intact after the move. Photos are currently held in C:users, valued customer, pictures. I’m pretty ignorant on how to do this but have tried to read and follow the FAQs and previous advice and think I have some understanding(!) I have made a catalog back up onto a separate Seagate expansion drive (F) and although the files appear to have been renamed as ‘B0000001’ for example, I believe this is normal and I can also see a backup.tly and a catalog.buc file so I’m assuming the backup was successful. I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.It's much simpler:

Yes, the renaming is normal and the fact you can see a backup.tly file is good. However, even if you are 99% sure that the backup is ok, the only way to be 100% sure would be to restore somewhere else... (being somewhat paranoid!)
I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
Dragging a master folder also drags its subfolders, no problem.
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
No, no need to do that. When you move (by drag and drop or the move menu) the organizer automatically updates the catalog.
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
The drag and drop procedure really moves, that is to say : copies the files to the new location AND deletes the files in the old location. Note that if there is a problem in the file transfer, the original files won't be deleted. The transfer of big libraries can require several hours. That happened to me with a power outage at 95% of the process. The files already copied stayed on the new computer, the original files were not deleted and the database of the catalog rolled back to the initial situation as if I had done nothing. So dragging and dropping is safe, at least on recent PSE versions.
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.

Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.
If you take a new backup, it will include all the files recorded in the catalog. If you still have pictures on your C: drive, and possibly others on other external drives, everything will be backed up. You can't specify a backup for images in a given disk, only for all images in a catalog. For instance, you can move only a part of your images on your C: drive. You can add pictures in the drive you want, C: or H: -
With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?
If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

Mt iPads photo stream is using space on my iPad
The photo stream is taking up about 400 MB on my iPad, however there are no photos on the iPad it's self or in the photo stream. I have tried turning off my iPad all the way and turning it back on, I have tried turning off photo stream in the iCloud preferences and I have even tried to delete my whole iCloud account from my iPad temporarily, and it is still taking up about 400 MB of space on the iPad. This really annoys me because I only have 16 GB of memory on it and as you all know about 2.5 GB of that is taken up by iOS. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Hello Phildebeldorado,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are missing the My Photo Stream album on your iPad, then you may have the iCloud Photo Library beta enabled. When you enable this option, it removes the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream albums from your device.

II've recently purchased Flickr app for my photos, hoping to freeup space on ipad. But the used/available on iPad has not changed. Why?
Read this Apple document about the iCloud Photo Library: iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
The following is from that document:
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them
The bottom line is that you'll still have some copy of your photos on your hard drive but they can be smaller, optimized versions. -
I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account? Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!
They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

To free up some space on my ipad 2 I want to delete a whole bunch of photos. I have copied all these photos into albums and events on my mac desktop. When I delete them on my ipad does this delete them on my Mac Desktop?
Have no idea whether this will help you, however...
I Have had several problems with my Ipad Air since upgrade, crashing, telling me I had no memory, plus stupid icloud wanting me to log in all the time.
i Did a reset, still same problem. I have very little on my iPad, so should have had lots of space left.
eventually checked out iCloud and found that it has been backing up 2 previous ipads, and both our phones. I have deleted them from this ipad and bingo all my memory is back!
give it a try, go into your ipad account and see what it is up to.
my last problem now is when I start to type, I only get the first letter out before it stops, second go works????.
no idea why these updates have to be so large, but then I don't work for Apple LOL
shouldnt continually have to buy new devices, they should last much longer for the price, so we continue to look for solutions. -
Is there any way to easily delete "other" space on my iPad?
I keep having problems with "other" space on my iPad. My 64GB iPad is always running close to capacity, and often when I try to sync too much data, the sync fails and I end up left with some corrupt files that become the infamous "other" space you can see in iTunes.
Recently, I tried to clear up space on my iPad, and deleted all photos (including 2.7GB of photo stream).
I had about 5Gb of "other" space, so I figured it was time for a painful restore process that takes about 3-4 hours on my iPad.
Before doing the "restore", I did one last sync.
After the restore was done, the "other" space was gone, but at the same time I found that some of the clean ups I had done were lost. Photostream was still enabled and was still using up 2.7GB of space.
I disabled Photostream, and to my annoyance, the 2.7GB of space taken up by the photos disappeared, but it simply moved from the "Photos" category over to the "Other" category. Sigh!
I don't want to do another restore again, but I would really like to reclaim that 2.7GB of space.
Is there any way besides dong another restore? Rebooting didn't help.

can't get ipad to sync photos, will do the first photo in a folder but the rest are not moved/copied. error comes up saying that the **.jpg format can not be displayed or supported on my ipad. took it to the apple store, they tried the re upload of ipad software, and itunes software to both the ipad and my laptop. even replace the ipad with a newer one, (mine was a wopping 3 days old) its a 64 gig 3G wifi, they said its prob. my laptop, i find this hard to belive, as the same laptop worked with my touch 32 gig less than a couple of weeks ago (lost it and replace it finally with the ipad) any ideas?
Hi - I'm having the exact same issue. Spent over 4 hours with Apple tech support on the phone, at the end the tech told me "oh, my supervisor just handed me a note that Apple knows this is an issue and is working on it. I guess I can't help you" and that was the end of the call.
My iPad is three weeks old, it sync'd photos no problem out of the box, then I let it upgrade the os to 4.2 in iTunes and then the photo sync error immediately started to appear, during the sync I get "1 of 1 copied" when in fact there are 200 photos to sync. So, Apple, what's going on? How do we fix this? I've done the following:
- un-install and re-install iTunes on laptop
- restore iPad to factory and start over
- delete iPod Photo Cache folder
- change security on same folder to remove "Read only"
Nothing works. HELP!!
Thanks, Barb
