Photo storage over capacity but can't find pictures on phone

When I hooked up my iPhone 5 to my laptop, the storage for the phone says I'm over capacity. It's understandable that most of the storage would be allocated to photos, however, it says I have 6089 photos when in reality I try to keep the photos below 200. The only way I could have that many photos is if you add up everything from the camera roll, albums, my photo stream, and shared photo streams. Maybe I'm just not that tech savvy, but I thought the photo streams were supposed to take up cloud storage and not phone storage. Regardless, I would like to know how to find these photos so I can copy them to my computer and then remove them from my phone. As it stands I only have 155 pictures on my camera roll because I have to delete pictures before I can take more. Can someone please help?

You can only import pics in your camera roll to your computer. iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
No photos in photos stream doesn't take up icloud storage. iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
Where does album sync to your phone iTunes: Syncing photos ? IF so unsync them.

Mac Air storage indicates music storage is big but can not find music files

I am going in to check the storage on my hard drive. In the music section it says there is 74.14 GB of storage being used but I am unable to locate the files. I have checked everything that can be checked on this mac and no music. Can you please help. I fequently use Final Cut Pro and I know they render files but there are no music files rendered in there. Especially not to amount to that amount of storage. Please Help.

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and open it. It will show all of you files and the respective sizes.
Ciao.

I received notice about a new cover art requirement (1400x1400 pixels) but can't find a way to change my existing art. My podcast has been updating flawlessly for several years, so I'd hate to have to remove the feed and start over.

Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues.
Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

Create an iTunes credit by redeeming a gift card and it will be charged to your credit. From http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4874:
"payment methods accepted include iTunes store credit, credit cards, and debit cards"

Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
User accounts should be on the home directory.

Welcome to the Apple community cmruckie.
Have you restored from the back up.

I bought a new computer running Lion 10.7.3 and transferred my applications and files from my old Mac using migration assistant but I can't find/transfer my photos from iPhoto and I can't find my old documents such as previous tax returns.

Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

HT5625 I cannot send a text thru iMessage. I followed the directions over and over again but can't make it work. Also how can I find out all the apple ids I may have.

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

I want to cancel my iCloud upgrade storage in the 45 day period but can't find the Apple contact number?

I want to cancel my iCloud upgrade storage in the 45 day period but can't find the Apple contact number?

It's only a 15 day period, not 45.
If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.

LR - how to make a master catalog??? my pictures are all over somewhere i can't find.

i put LR on an external hard drive. now i suddenly have multiple catalogs as well as data previews. my photos are scattered all over hell, i can't find what i'm looking for and half the time, i bring up a file and it cannot be found. i tried following a tutorial to create a master catalog, but i can't find the options that say "catalog" they only say "create new folder" etc.

Really?? No one knows??
This is an Apple support forum is it not?
If anyone can at least point me in the right direction that would be great!!

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!
