Hi: When I take a photo with my C3 and designate it be stored on the microSD Disk is the photo also stored temporarily on the phone's internal memory?
Thanks, Chato

Hi Farby:
Thanks for you input. The photos in question were taken 4 months ago but the phone has only been used for a couple of hours since then. What I'm looking for is secure eraesure of photos before upgrading phone!

N86 photo storage question.

Is it possible to set up a separate folder in which to store photos, so they don't appear in the albums? For example, if I am using the phone like a flash drive, just as a means of transferring files from one location to another.

IPod 30g video photo storage question

Can I use iPod 30g video as my iPhoto backup? My question is, does it store original photo full size? Do I have to resize my photos before I send them to my iPod? I only need less than 10g for my music, the rest I plan to use for photos. Thanks Alex

You are correct, the iPod does NOT come with a charger, most of us here are disappointed with that, that would be an extra $30 out of your pocket to get. Yes USB is the cable it uses. You can charge it through the computer or (if you have the adapter) through an outlet, via usb. As far as the iPod mini connection, I think it may be different, but I could be wrong, never owned one I'll look into that.
Actually I don't want to say anything, I really don't know, lol, and you are welcome Alex good luck with your iPod and enjoy .

ICloud Photo Storage Question

I bought a 16 GB 6 Plus; normally I buy 32 GB but I decided not to this time around. I realized that I don't have much space for photos. Is there a way to just store all of those in the cloud so that it doesn't take up in memory in my phone? I see the iCloud photo library, and apparently I did it right, but I still see them taking up memory on my actual phone. I have the 20 GB iCloud plan, so theres plenty of space to work with. Any help would be appreciated

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.

Managing photo storage on my iPhone/iPhoto/Pictures/External Hard-drive

Hello, I need some help with managing photo storage on my iPhone/iPhoto/Pictures/External Hard-drive.
Background:
I have 1,200 photos/videos on my iPhone 4S on the camera roll and need to delete them to save space. Most are photos/videos of my new baby which I would be devastated to lose, so I want to be 110% sure that I have them backed up properly and accessible.
I frequently hook my iPhone up to iPhoto to download all of the latest photos to iPhoto.
I have done Time Machine back ups and just did a latest one yesterday.
I would like to save my camera roll into a folder on my hard-drive so that all of these photos are in one place in case I need to access them (and not spread across different folders like in iPhoto).
My Mac (Macbook Pro - circa 2009) is now telling me that my 'Starter Disc is nearly full' and won't save all of the photos from my camera roll.
My questions;
Are photos stored both in iPhoto and Pictures folder, and if so are they duplicates?
I've heard that Time Machine only backs up full libraries and so cannot be used to access individual photos - is this true? If so, how do you access individual photos/files from my external hard-drive?
How and where should I delete older photos from to save space on my Mac - iPhoto or Pictures? (once I know how to access them from my external drive if needed).
How do I delete all of my photos from my iPhone camera roll in one go? - I can only see a way to delete the 1,200 of them individually.
Going forward where is the best place for me to synch/upload my photos for medium term storage/access on my Mac?
I would consider myself quite intelligent but when it comes to this topic, I'm happy to be spoken to in very simplistic terms!
Thank you.

Import the photos to iPhoto - then select the photos in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to the desired location

Moving all my photos from my Mac to SmugMug photo storage service.

I have joined the photo storage service SmugMug. My goal is to move every last photo I have on my Mac to SmugMug and then delete my photos from my Mac. Following SmugMug's path for loading photos, I'm taken to a page that shows the first line item hi-lited in blue which says "iPhoto". If I were to scroll down, the next line item says "Events" and the one below it says "Photos".
See example:
Question #1: Which line item do I select, "iPhoto", "Events" or "Photos"?
Question #2: How do I delete all photos permanently from my computer once I've successfully moved them to SmugMug?
Please be specific in your answers. I am old and have little computer experience.
Thank you all for your help.

I'd like to offer the suggestion that you do not erase all your photos from your computer, or..... at least get an external hard drive and park a copy of them there. I would not trust having one backup only; there are things that can go wrong and, personally, I would not trust any online server with my precious and only copy of my photos.
I can't help with the other question since I don't use iPhoto.

IPhoto & iPod As Photo Storage Query

I'm asking this question here, rather than in the iPod section as it is more of a query that photographers might know the answer to, than those interested mainly in music.
I know that it is possible to transfer digital images onto an iPod and synch the images between different Mac's. But, what seems less clear is what the best way is of using an iPod to backup images directly from a camera whilst out and about and then to transfer the images from the iPod into a computer afterwards. It seems like an obvious use for an iPod, as they are basically small hard disk drives anyway. I've found various solutions on Google, but most of these links are several years old and use third party devices connected on to the iPod from Belkin for instance.
Is there any simple way of doing this with a relatively modern iPod? I have two iPod classic models with 80GB capacities, which would be ideal for this kind of use. I know that most use iPod's for listening to music, but it would be nice for those of us who like using Mac's to be able to use an iPod for photography as well. Any hints would be welcomed.

Allan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Some of the newer iPods can upload directly from a camera. Check out the Apple M9861G/C iPod camera connector at the Apple store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9861G/C
For older models Belkin has a device. It's discussed at MacWorld: http://www.macworld.com/article/39241/2004/09/belkindigicamlink.html.
Then there are 3rd party photo storage devices for downloading directly from cameras to it.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

What online photo storage will work best with icloud?

I have 2 laptops and a iMac plus 3 iPhones and one iPad. Currently we have our photos all over the place, (20,000+).
What online photo storage will work best with the future icloud? looking for the best integration and security.

Thanks for the link. I'd seen that. I have indeed formally submitted feedback via Apple formal process. I've even called Apple Care (had coverage under one of these boxes) and they put me in touch with Pro Apps.
All those folks could do was register my concern/complaint because there is NOTHING being provided within Apple that answers the question "what about my Aperture online gallery capability?".
If you happen to see a link offering any specific guidance or relevant migration solutions from abandoned MobileMe/Gallery users and customers and fans, please post it.
I shall do likewise.
Since I can't activate iCloud services until I abandon MobileMe, and I won't abandon MobileMe and commit to all the migration time and effort until I'm convinced that replacement solution will be around for more than a few months, right now, I am caught in an Apple-caused chain of dependencies that leaves me quite frustrated! Therefore, my search continues in earnest -- the part of the solution that concerns me most? How many Apple software products that I've come to depend on are now obsolete or incompatible.....iWork, iWeb, iPhoto and Aperture all come to mind as potential victims to Apple's latest "progress"!

Can SD cards be used for permanent photo storage?

I have been using an external hard drive to store my photos but am leary of possible impending failure and so would like to convert over to a SSD. Question: anything wrong with using SD memory cards. 128 GB are awfully cheap these days.

Hi Ken,
Personally, I see nothing wrong with using cards for permanent photo storage, as long as they're well labeled .
Same technology at the core as an SSD hard drive.
It's unconventional, but I'm assuming you are too or you wouldn't be asking the question.
My advice? - knock yourself out (so to speak)...
No need for smart previews on the road if you can carry your originals in your shirt pocket .
My only reservation would be about filling them up - I have 3TB hard drives, which have plenty of room for all photos, a 128GB card would not.
Here's one idea (if you do run the risk of overfill):
* Keep whole photo collection (original source files) on a single rotating (and big) hard drive.
* Keep catalog, presets, ..., and smart previews on SD card (regular previews too if they'll fit, otherwise relocate them).
Then when you travel, you just pop out the card and take it with you, plug it back in when you return - no need for copying files anywhere, or catalog export/import. Of course you could do the same thing with an esata thumb drive...
If I ever get back to traveling, I may consider this arrangement myself - thanks for bringing it up.
PS - you have backups, so if your card only lasts 2 years, instead of 10, you can always toss it in the garbage and populate a new card from backup. I mean, same drill as if photos on spinning drive...

How do i manage photo storage in ios 8?

Now that Camera Roll has been removed from Photos, I can't tell which photos are physically on my device and which I'm getting via iCloud. In the past I could manage my physical storage space by removing photos from my local device that I was happy to have access to only via Photostream. That is much more difficult now - I don't seem to have a specific option to "remove locally" vs "remove from Photostream". I can only delete from all locations. Plus, if I happen to be off-line, how can I be sure the photos I want to have access to all the time are available? In the past, I could make sure those were on my physical storage even if they were part of Photostream. I could also sync them to a folder on my computer and that does appear to still work, but in the face of moving to a more cloud-based solution, that seems clunky in the design Apple seems to be trying to achieve. So rather than rant about the poor decision decisions Apple seems to be making here and how they seem to be catering more to the crowd that wants to just pile up loads of rubbish without managing it, I'd like to focus on the specific questions around managing my physical storage and how to make sure the photos that I want uninterrupted access to are always available to me, even if I can't connect to iCloud.

True, but again, this is using multiple interfaces and comparing multiple lists to do what should be a simple job. I can also connect the iPhone to my PC and inspect the DCIM folder to see which images are there.
I hope this is not the answer Apple intends. If the only way I can manage my iPhone (or iPad) physical photo storage is to continue to use a PC or Mac to inspect the actual folders or sync specific folders in iTunes to ensure certain photos are available, then so be it, but it would be hard to say this is a convenient or elegant solution worthy of Apple.
I'm hoping someone from Apple reads this and can provide input as well - not that I'm not open to input from the larger community of course, but there is a lot of dissatisfaction out there in the public forums over some of these recent design decisions and I'm hoping it is because Apple has done a poor job of instructing users on how to use the tools properly rather than producing poor tools.

Photo Transfer Question

How do I transfer a photo from my Mac Book to Photos on iPad2? I do not want to transfer all photos, but some.
I tried searching old threads, but didn't find an answer that fit my needs.
Thanks!

Where are your photos stored on your Mac?
iPhoto is included with every new Mac purchase. iPhoto is a photo storage/management app that can also be used to import photos from a digital camera including from the iPad's Camera Roll.
If you aren't using iPhoto, I suggest giving it a try. When importing photos with iPhoto, Events are created by selected dates for the photos imported with a preference setting for this. Existing Events can be combined or an existing event can be split into another Event. You can also make liberal use of iPhoto Albums for select photos - similar to creating an iTunes playlist for select music. If you use the Mail app on your Mac for email account access, you can select photos to be emailed direct with the Mail app from within iPhoto, and you can add select photos or an entire Album to be uploaded to FaceBook or Flickr direct from iPhoto. And iPhoto includes a Places and Faces feature.
When using iPhoto, under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes you can transfer all photos in your iPhoto library - all photos, events, albums, and faces, or you can transfer select events, albums, and faces. Your chosen order of photos in the Events and Albums in iPhoto selected to be transferred to your iPad will be reflected with the Events and Albums on your iPad. To remove an Event or Album from your iPad, deselect the Event or Album under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

Photo stream questions, sharing, etc.

Shared photo stream questions
Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
Here's where I'm (further) confused...
On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... " image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
Thanks!

You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

HT202807 I have a MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.3.3 Photos. Please recommend an external drive best for connecting to TC and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD

I have a 13" mid 2011 MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.10.3 Photos. I have reduced apps and files as much as possible so the only thing left is to move the photos. Please recommend an external drive compatible for connecting to my TC 802.11ac and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD which will free approx 15 gbs. of space. I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice. I know the "optimization" is supposed to adjust for this condition but I don't trust that assertion.I only have 2gb free space remaining.

I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice.
If you really only want such a small capacity drive.. what about just buying a 32GB or 64GB USB memory stick.
You should still have a back up to the internal hard disk of the AC TC.
Or just buy a WD Passport.. don't waste your money buying 500GB as it is only a bit more to buy 1TB and a bit more again for 2TB.. For future use if you do buy a USB hard disk buy 2.5" type.. and buy 1TB or if the budget stretches 2TB..

ITunes and Photos - Storage Mismatch

Dear All,
Since upgrading to the iOS 8.0.2, i've had a problem with my photo storage not matching between the phone and iTunes.
So, upon syncing the iPhone it states i have 2539 (6.19 Gb) of photos on my phone, however, on my phone it says i only have 944 under collections/moments (the repalcement for the camera roll). Shared storage we know if iCloud and not part of this total. Albums only have 226 recently added.
So where are all my photos on the phone? I've run out of space, it's syncing with 0 photos and i can't find a solution.
Please help!
Thanks
Adrian

You need to ask that on the iPhone forum.
