Movies that aren't there but are taking up space

I've just moved my files to my new MacBook Air. All is going well, apart from when I check the storage in About This Mac, it reports that I have 21G + of movies. I don't. Anybody know how I can correct this, or find out where these movies might be?

70 photos that aren't there, but iPhoto and Bridge say they are

I have an iPhone (first gen) that has a problem. When I plug the iPhone into the computer that it always syncs with, I am unable to get the photos to display correctly in iPhoto.
The computer thinks there are 70 photos on the iPhone that are no longer on the phone.
Both iPhoto and Adobe Bridge report the photos as being on the iPhone. However, those photos are not there. And can't be downloaded or deleted.
But when I plug the same iPhone into a different machine, I see the correct photos and can delete them correctly.
I'm sure there's just some plist that has to be deleted, but I don't know what.

Hi Mary,
Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
Also, make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the cable that came with it. Then disconnect any other USB devices.
Do the photos show up in the Image Capture? You can find Image Capture in the Applications folder, just launch Finder and click Go(top menu bar)> Applications> Image Capture.
If they don't try rebuilding the iPhoto library as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???). If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?

I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???). If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space? I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them. Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think? If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event. Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space. Thanks.
iPhoto 11 v9.4.2
using Lion, updated, on iMac Pro.

It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
If space is an issue... use an external disk.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

I'm missing a lot of my pictures on my phone after going to the cloud. You cab see that the were there but it's just a grey tile now. When I click on it it just spins loading. Any help would be appreciated.

I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life. If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6? Could be anything.

Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Movies lost. Thumbnail there but no movie, Arrrrh!!!

Movies of my kids, ie precious - as precious as and interlocked with my relationship with the wife and her in laws (less precious).
I have iphoto '09, snow leopard, and all movies imported from my digital camera before 30 Apr '08 have gone from iphoto. The thumbnail is there, and in information it will have 88mg or whatever, all in MPEG1 format, and none play when I double click them. They do after this date, with the same file format.
So... I installed Perian, no banana, right click the thumbnail to 'show file' and nothing is there. They are not in the originals folder that I can see. I can go back a way in time machine but can't access the files to see if the movies are there. Going back in time in iphoto doesn't work 'cos you can't play anything anyhow. How come there is the info with the thumbnail in iphoto but there appears to be no movie. How can I see if it is time machine, if so how do I recover it? Peeease help!
If these are lost, the rhetorical question deserving only mirth is how do I recover the relationship (just the wife would do!)

Hello Jaime,
I expect you are getting this dialogue:
As long as you've copied your library to an alternate location I would say its ok to choose "Restore". If you don't like the results you can always restore your backup copy.
If this does not resolve the issue try searching your computer for movies. Do this by going to Finder and choosing File > Find. In the top of the window you will see "Kind" and "Any". Change the "Any" to movies to locate all movies on your computer. If you find the movies you are looking for click on one of them and notice the location at the very bottom of the screen. If it doesn't say iPhoto Library in the location then perhaps someone has been moving files. You could drag all these files to a central location (like a newly created folder on the desktop) and then add them back to iPhoto. The process of locating files is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1995
Do not move images / movies that are located in the iPhoto Library. Doing so will damage the references to these files in iPhoto.
Hope that helps

Printing events that aren't there!

I just installed Tiger (10.4.11) on my G4 1.25 GHz PowerPC. It has iCal 2.0.5. When I bring up the Print dialog, there are entries that aren't on the calendar itself (I just have one calendar). I have recurring events every Thursday & Friday. In the Print preview, it duplicates these events on Friday & Saturday. Anyone know what's up?

You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Music Store through the Request Music page. Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, some out of Apple's control (to start with, the artists and record companies have to be willing to license the tracks to Apple), so don't expect instant action.

Removing Photos but still taking up space on Storage!?

So I have a question not sure if I am doing this right or if its a bug. So I have a 6 Plus and it says that my photos are taking up a total of 1.8 gigs of space. The issue I am having is that I am removing photos from from the phone but it still is saying 1.8 gigs being occupied. I haven't removed all of the yet, but enough to where it should have dropped to 1.7 or 1.6 gigs? Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help will be appreciated.

No I did not but it says on storage that I have 14 GB left and that I have no video data and the games only take up 4 GB. it is not coincidence that the other 8 GB that are used on the device happen to be the size of the two films I have. It says I don't have them and without internet they don't show up on the device (e.g. Because they are on the cloud) so why are they still taking up storage?
