Now that I have installed Aperture, can I delete iPhoto?

You could by why would you?
You paid for it, the application doesn;t really take up much space and there may come a time when you want it or need it.
In fact Léonie has wrriten a user tip addressing this see Keep iPhoto - It May Come in Handy!

  • Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

    I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
    Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
    I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
    Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
    I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

    That's an entirely different thing from backups.  A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
    While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.  
    Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups).  While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen.  There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
    So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space.  But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
    Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected.  If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection.  See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused.
    You're not the first or only one. 
    There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
    As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system.  Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
    Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
    See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article.  All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
               Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
    It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
               If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of  what was on the hard drive
    No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
    It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.

  • How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    How can I tell how many emails I have on my iphone now that I have installed the update?

    Your current camera roll is stored in iCloud via the backup, and the photos in Photo stream are also stored in iCloud for about 4 weeks.
    However, once you delete them on your iPad, they will disappear from your backup the next time it runs.
    The best way to sort your issue out is to:
    1) Connect a Windows or OS X computer to Photo Stream.  This will get your current photos onto your computer.
    and/or
    2) Connect your iPad to a Windows or OS X computer through the USB cable, and sync the photos across before deleting them from your iPad. This will get photos and videos.

    now that i have installed the software how can i change a pdf into a word doc

    Hi patm23422687,
    I hope by saying 'installed the software', you mean that Acrobat XI is now installed on your computer.
    Now, open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and choose "File> Save as Other> Microsoft Word"
    This is all you need to do
    Please try and let me know if you need further assistance.

  • HT1338 how to remove vista from my mac, now that i have installed mountain lion, as i need to free up space on y hard drive

    i have installed mountain lion, and now need to completely remove vista and parallels from my mac, to free up the space on my hard drive, boot camp wont help. and the new update of lion has totaly closed these two software programms

    All Mac operating systems use any free space on your hard drive as virtual memory, and this virtual memory plays a part in how well your computer performs. Because of this, the more data you have on your hard drive, the less virtual memory becomes available. Therefore, in order to help increase your Mac boot time, and keep your computer running smoothly, periodically cleaning your hard drive is necessary. To clean it up you want to get rid of any old or unnecessary files. You can do this manually by removing unused applications, emptying your trash etc.,

  • Now that I have installed Photoshop CC 2014, can I uninstall the old Photoshop CC

    I migrated the settings.  I'm assuming I can just uninstall now...

    I suggest waiting a while, and using the new version.  That way you can ensure everything you need is set up and working before closing off your ability to run the older one.
    I have heard rumors that uninstalling the older version might actually do bad things to the LightRoom to Photoshop interface, which some folks have said is fixed by then uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Photoshop.
    Unless you need the disk space there's really nothing terribly wrong with leaving the old version there from now on.

  • Can i uninstall CS5 now that I have installed CC?

    I have recently upgraded from CS5 to CC and was wondering if I can now uninstall CS5 to make space?

    Hi nickmossdesign.com,
    If you no longer wish to use CS5 any more then simply deactivate and then uninstall CS5 software and continue using CC.

    Can I install oil painting filter into CC 2014?
    Unfortunately, no.
    By the way, a variant on my answer above also worth considering, given a few recent reports of 2014.1 breaking things...
    Let's say 14.2.1 worked fine for you, and you got 2014.0 and it worked fine too (maybe you didn't need Oil Paint).  But then 2014.1 came out, replacing 2014.0, and it didn't work right.  Nice to have 14.2.1 still around in that pinch.
    Yes, it's possible to drop back now with the Creative Cloud application to an older version, but that would take some time since it has to re-download quite a bit of data.  A few gigabytes of space used on the drive is a small price to pay for the comfort of knowing you can fire up a previous version of Photoshop in seconds to get work done.

  • Stops working when using it with wifi antenna adapter. Good with 3.6 but now that I have 5 I can't find how to change back.

    I live on a boat so I use a wifi antenna adapter to get internet. I used mozilla 3.6 until 5 came out and I updated. After that my internet stops more so I called the manufacturer and he said it doesn't work well with Mozilla 5 and I should change back to 3.6. Its not that it stops so much as when it does stop, I need to access the program that can change the source of the internet connection and with 5.0, it won't open the program so I can't use it. I tried to download 3.6 again and can't find it to download. Now I have to use internet explorer which I don't like.

  • So, none of my old software works on my computer now that I have installed Mountain Lion. I had no idea it wouldn't work. I'm incredibly disappointed. Any help?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Now none of my Microsoft applications (Word, Excel) work, nor does my old version of Adobe Creative Suite. I'm really disappointed. I'm a poor college student and I can't drop hundreds of dollars on software because of this issue with a 20$ operating system.
    Any ideas on what I should do? Go back to Snow Leopard? I like the Cloud and Find My Mac and the calendar sync, but I don't know if it's worth buying whole new versions of software that I use on a regular basis.
    Thanks!

    Yeah. My Office is from '04. I still have the installation disk for Leopard, as well. I have a really old version of CS. It's probably from around 2004. I guess upgrading my software won't kill me. It'll make me cry a little, but it won't kill me. Is CS3 the oldest one that is compatible with Mountain Lion?
    Is 2008 the oldest version of Office that will work on it?
    Thanks for your speedy response!

  • Now that I have installed OSX Lion, my flash player won't work.

    After I installed OSX Lion a few days ago my flash player suddenly stopped working. It won't let me update (it says I have the newest version) and when say, I try to watch a YouTube video a little box comes up over the player with settings and the "allow" button but no matter if I use the trackpad or the keyboard I can't select anything.
    It's getting really annoying because I can't play games, watch videos or video share online anymore and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Is it just something that will be stuck until Adobe releases a version that isn't beta for OSX 10.7?

    This allows me to watch videos which is great but still when I try to play any flash games or enable a webcam on something other than iChat, Skype or Photobooth the dialog box comes up and even using tab and space bar like Adobe suggests doesn't seem to work. :-/
    Glad to be able to watch videos again though

  • Is anyone having trouble with kernel panics now that they have installed Lion?

    Ever since I installed Lion;I am getting kernel panics, applications crashing, and the internet freezing. None of these problems existed before I installed Lion.

    You probably have some bad third-party software that is conflicting with Lion.  Can you post one of the kernel panic logs?
