Photo Backup and Deletion

My daughter has a 16MB iPhone 5 and needs to free up storage space.  Clearly her photos are what is taking up significant space.  What is the easiest and safest way to backup and then delete photos off of her iPhone......and NOT lose any of them!

I was also wondering what the easiest and most efficient way is to get photos from the computer back on the iPhone?  Is "iCould Control Panel" something worth downoading and utilizing? 
I use iTunes to sync them back but iCloud Photo Stream will also do it. There is information on that method in the "When do photos upload to My Photo Stream" section of: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

  • Is RMAN only way to take backup and delete Archive Logs?

    On primary db:
    ===============
    OS: Windows 2003 server 32-bit
    Oracle: Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) R2 32-bit
    On Physical standby db:
    ===============
    OS: Windows 2003 server 32-bit
    Oracle: Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) R2 32-bit
    Data Guard just configured. Archive Logs are properly being shipped to standby db. Is RMAN only way to take backup and delete Archive Logs from both primary and standby db? What other command can be used?
    Thanks

    No, but anything else is way more work. Without using RMAN you would have to find another way to keep track of applied logs.
    RMAN make this very simple :
    RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;Using another method would be like using the handle of your screwdriver as a hammer.

  • I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud. help?

    I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud.
    Please assist
    Thx

    You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
    You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
    However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
    fresh account as well.

  • Backup and Delete Images

    Hi, I have MacBook Pro with 5 years of family photos and videos on it. I've backed up to a WD My Book Studio external drive. I can acces the external drive and see my photos, videos and files.
    Since my MacBook is getting old and slowing down I'm thinking I should remove all the old images and that would help it's performance.  Feeling a little nervous about deleting such a large file of important stuff.
    Is my thinking correct? 

    Consider using a regular backup program, or plugin like TreeSyncPublisher which will assure backups are deleted along with sources.
    If you really want no junk in Lr's 2nd copy storage, then delete everything there (or maybe just the older stuff), after making such "true" (synchronizing) backups.

  • Controlfile backups and deletions

    10gr2 RAC, ASM on Oracle Enterprise Linux.
    Currently, we have the autobackup of our controlfile set to ON. Retention policy is set to 10 days (7 days to secondary storage and 3 most current in FRA). We backup every night to the FRA and backup the backupsets after 3 days to secondary storage. The idea being that if we lose the FRA in some disaster scenario, we can restore from our secondary storage. The problem we're finding is that the autobackups of the controlfile on the secondary storage get deleted and reused. If we ever have to restore from secondary storage, there is no controlfile to restore from anymore. Is there a way to remedy this? If I do an "include controfile" with the backup backupset command, does this "LOCK" the controlfile in place? Please let me know if further explanation is needed. Your help is greatly appreciated...thanks!

    jjmdb, how about just copying the older backup set to tape outside of rman? You could then restore the tape backup to disk and from the disk restore the control file and using it perform recovery. You would also need to include the necessary archived redo logs as part of the backup set if the desire is to have point in time recovery points available for restoration to a new location for key periods like year-end, quarter-end.
    Personally I see very little reason to maintain more than a couple of backups for the purpose of recovery of the production database. We would always use the most recent backup to restore and forward recover from unless it tuned out one of the files was damaged in which case we would go back to the prior backup and try to forward recover from there. If that is not successfull we would be in the situation where we be in the situation where we would be looking at one of the utilities that can read and salvage data directly from Oracle data files.

  • Backup and delete old iPad

    I have an iPad2 running iOS 8.1.3 recently backed up to iCloud.
    I've decided to sell this iPad and will probably replace with newer iPad in coming months.
    When I try to 'reset and delete all data' it wants to not only wipe the iPad, but all record on iCloud.
    How do I delete the iPad (so I can sell it or give it away), yet still retain the backup for restore to newer iPad when I buy one?

    People have had luck with:
    Re-boot ipad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
    force power down if the above give you trouble.
    Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.

  • Crosscheck backup and delete obsolete;

    Hi,
    on 10g R2 on a Win 2003. Connected to catalog and Target database I issue :
    RMAN>crosscheck backup
    RMAN>delete obsolete;
    FILE 1
    FILE 2
    Do you want to delet the above file ? Y/N :YES
    Then again :
    RMAN>crosscheck backup
    RMAN>delete obsolete;
    FILE 1
    FILE 2
    Do you want to delet the above file ? Y/N
    I can not understand. If the first time I answered YES and the obsolete files where deleted why they appear again and again ?
    Can any one be kind to explain me ?
    Thank you.

    'crosscheck' has nothing to do with obsolete backups, this command checks for backups,which are still recorded in the controlfile/recovery catalog,but don't exist physically on disk/tape. The correct command after a 'crosscheck' is 'delete expired', 'obsolete' are backups no longer needed due to the defined retention policy.
    I guess your backups are both , obsolete and expired, but 'delete obsolete' does not work, because these backups were removed outside RMAN. It could also be a permission problem, RMAN is not allowed to remove the backups on OS level. That happens on Windows, when shared drives are used.

  • Photo storage and delete questions

    Hello there,
    I have photoshop cs51 and bridge.  I also have a new version of lightroom (I tried but was unable to download and use the creative cloud versions so had to do separate).  My versions of PS and bridge will not open raw, so i'm using 90% LR and only bringing photos into PS when I need that little extra.  I'm fine doing it that way.  I'm having a huge issue with photo storage and have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer.  Obviosly I'm not very technical, so simple answers work best.
    I had LR for months before PS and bridge.  Bridge has imported many of my photos.  If I delete them from bridge, will they be deleted from my computer, or only bridge?  Would it be possible for me to delete the bridge program, as I don't use it?
    My one year old Mac is already full and running out of storage.  I've moved my LR catalogues over to a portable HD.  It's my understanding that it 'removes' those photos....but keeps a thumbnail in LR for me to see.  I can only access the photos when they portable HD is connected to my Mac.  However, there is still SO much space being taken up by my photo's.  I'm not sure why.  Should I remove the thumnails from LR?  Do they still take up  a lot of space?
    I have been unable to load new photo's due to this issue.  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you!

    Bridge does not, like Lightroom, import photos. If you delete an image in Bridge, you delete it from your computer. I don't think you can uninstall Bridge, it's probably part of the Photoshop install.
    You should move your photos to the external HD, not the LR catalogs. The catalogs don't take up much space, your photos do. (And, btw, there's no need to have several catalogs, one is usally enough.) But you can leave your catalogs on the external HD if you like.
    When you move you photos to the external HD, make sure to keep the original folder structure. If you have a parent folder containing all your photos, the move will be easier. LR will put a question mark on all your files and folder. If you have a parent folder, then right click it in LR, and direct LR to the new location on the external HD.

  • Time Machine backups and deleted photos

    I backed up my Mac to Time Machine using an external hard drive. This then began to run out of space and i received the subsequent warning messages.
    Now comes the stupidity (I think), I decided to delete all the photos from my Mac in the thought that they would remain on the Time Machine. I'm now thinking that this is a horrendous error and I have lost all the images from 2009 (when I first purchased the Mac) to 2011 (When i did the above).
    I apologise if this is so stupid that it doesn't warrent an answer, but I hope someone takes pity on me.
    Thanks

    Sorry.. I keep thinking in the Time Capsule discussion area we are talking about TC..
    If you copied the pictures to the WD drive then none of this would have happened.. it is the fact you deleted them from the Mac and assumed you would then have a backup inside the TM.
    I know it is well after the event but Pondini in that same FAQ states with extreme clarity
    20. Once my Mac is backed-up, can I delete some stuff to save space?
    NO,  NO,  NO!    That's a terrible idea !
    See Q20. for the rest of why not.. the disk is slowly filled with current changes to file.. If you manipulate a large file it is backed up every hour.. it takes very little time to fill up the disk.. especially if it is so small.
    Once full TM simply deletes from the backup what is deleted on the Mac.. since you obviously no longer think it important.
    Actually you should read the whole thing about how TM works.. as it thins backups on a daily and then weekly basis, and there is no telling when it will delete your files, once they are gone from the Mac.
    You don't have to copy the existing backup.. just buy another USB drive.. a decent size one this time.. and USB3 for future use.. 2TB or greater. And start a new backup to that.. Include the iphoto library in it.. but also copy the files manually so you have a backup unrelated to Time Machine.
    Actually I would spend the money and buy Carbon Copy Cloner (or like backup software) as it does a better job of creating a backup of your files. You can also make a bootable clone of your existing hard disk.. that is hugely superior to the way TM works to get a dead drive computer running again.
    Learn the lesson.. we all have to lose something before the knowledge we should backup is hammered home.. it is just sad it is digital photos which are so valuable and irreplaceable.. No amount of backup is too much for digital photos.. you are a few seconds from disaster and losing everything once you move away from films and negatives that can be reprinted for years and years.

  • Itunes backup and deleted photos

    I had a folder with old photos (not the camera folder) in my iphone 4s,  yesterday I tried to copy this photos to my cpu, but the folder and all the photos disappeared!
    I had an old backup in itunes where this photos exists, buuut I don´t want to restore to the old version because all the new photos I have will be deleted and replaced by the old ones as well as the apps.
    Any help? Thank you very much!

    If the photos were (only) in Camera Roll and they were not backed up in etiher iTunes or iCloud, they are gone.

  • How does TC/TM prioritize backups and deletions?

    I've recently installed a 500 GB TC and have used it to set up a backup schedule for two Macs using TM. I also want to add some archival files (old and unchanging, currently stored on several external HDs) and at a point in the near future I will want to back up a third Mac which isn't available at this point. My questions:
    * Does TM delete old files on its own when it gets full to make room for new ones? If so, how would you run out of disk space as this support article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15137.html suggests?
    * Can I override TM's logic by directly backing up my archival files onto my TC hard drive? (In other words, I assume if I connect my archival files to my Mac and backup through Time Machine it will see these as part of my Mac at a point in time and will eventually delete these files, but if I simply use the TM as a hard drive would they be protected?)
    * Suppose I do run out of space and decide to delete some backups manually? Can I simply delete the oldest ones first? As a new user this looks like a risky practice because my first backup consumed much more space than any of the subsequent ones, which makes sense because those were just backing up changes.

    So I guess I would have to manually delete the oldest backups from the sparseimage for the first Mac, to gain space for backing up the second Mac?
    Some kind of preference setting for this would be welcome. If I start backing up two Macs, and continue to do so, then will they just compete about the space until full, will they occupy space 50/50 or dependent on how often backups are done?
    Very strange that Apple does not explain how backing up several Macs actually works. I have posted feedback to Apple on this.

  • I recently used SuperDuper! to transfer my hard drive, setting etc to an SSD to replace in my MBP.  When I placed the SSD in and went to "About This Mac" I came upon this in the Storage section.  My question is where can I find my Backups and delete them?

    I recently used SuperDuper! to transfer my old MBP hard drive and its settings to a new SSD.  Everything went smoothly.  When I opened the "About this Mac" section and looked under Storage it showed this:
    Where are the "Backups" (purple) located? I want to delete these files to free up disk space on my new SSD.  Thanks in advance for all of your guys help!

  • Backup and delete archivelogs on primary

    Hi,
    I have a primary db ( 11.2) and physical standby
    I understand that I should backup archive logs on primary once a while in case the logs doesn’t get shipped on time and I loss the primary db including logs that have not been shipped.. !is that’s correct?
    I want to configure rman to run couple of times a day but my concern is that I don’t want rman to remove those archivelogs ( delete input ) unless they have been shipped an applied to standby. How can I configure rman so it only deletes if logs are applied to standby?
    Thanks

    Set RMAN setting on Primary DB :
