Photo sync storage space

If I import my photo's from iPhone to iPhoto and let it remove them from my phone, they come back to my phone through the photo stream which is expected.
But if i then sync iPhoto with my phone through iTunes, they also now appear under Albums in the Photo Library.
Is this now using twice the storage for the photo's?

When you take a photo with your iPhone with PhotoStream enabled on your iPhone, the photo is not sent to your Mac and back to your iPhone under PhotoStream.
A photo captured by your iPhone is saved in your iPhone's Camera Roll. If your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network at the time, the photo is uploaded to your PhotoStream. If your iPhone is not connected to an available wi-fi network at the time, the photo is not uploaded to your PhotoStream and won't be uploaded to your PhotoStream until your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.
Importing the photo from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your Mac when your iPhone is connected to your Mac is a completely seperate process.
If you have limited storage capacity available on your iPhone and you don't have another iOS device, turn PhotoStream off on your iPhone. Import photos/videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. You can transfer select photos/videos that you want available on your iPhone back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process. You don't have to transfer your entire iPhoto library to your iPhone. You can transfer select iPhoto Albums and Events just as you can transfer select iTunes playlists/albums/artists with music. You don't have to transfer your entire iTunes library with music to your iPhone. The same applies with photos/videos in your iPhoto library.
PhotoStream is limited to 1,000 photos and 30 days. It is temporary.

  • Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

    Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

    To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte.  Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files.  If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
    Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right.  If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

    Dear Friend,
    Back up your device by iCloud or iTunes. Then restore your device from the back up you did and try to update to IOS7.1.1 again.
    There are some apps that save too much data, so you can manage it by Settings, General, Usage.
    Try to erase messages you don't need anymore, especially messages with photos.
    Hope it helps

  • HT4759 How do I move photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    How do I move photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    You can connect your iPhone to your computer and your computer will see your iPhone as though it was a digital camera.  You'll be given options to transfer pictures just as you would a digital camera.  I'd create a folder in advance and maybe call it iPhone Pictures.  Transfer the pictures, then you can delete them from you iPhone.  You can always redownload them to your iPhone via iTunes sync.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • ICloud photo library and iPhone/iPad storage space

    Hi,
    I use iCloud photo library beta for some time and it's a great feature for apple product. However, I'm a bit worried about what happend after some time. Now I have 20Gb of storage in iCLoud and 16Gb iPhone 6 and iPad air 2. On both of them is the "optimize iPhone/iPad storage" checked. What will happen after I would put 20Gb of photos to the iCloud and the iPhone and iPad wouldn't have enough storage to handle them (even when the photos are optimize)?
    Thanks for any response or a link where it is discussed,
    Jakub

    Hi jakudo,
    "optimize iPad/iPhone storage" means that photos don't have to take any storage capacity of your devices, if you are using your devices storage capacity e.g. for other content like music, apps etc. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and only a some of them are stored locally as long as you have storage space available. The only thing you have to do, is upgrading for more storage as soon as your passing the 20 GB.
    With kind regards,
    David

  • Exporting photos from iPhoto - storage space

    This might be a silly question, but I'm not very familiar with how iPhoto works.
    If I export a photo from iPhoto and save it to a folder in Finder, am I doubling up on storage space?
    I do this because I prefer to arrange my photos/albums in folders like I use to on a windows computer, and I don't really like how iPhoto groups and organizes my photos.

    Yes, you will be doubling the amount of disk space used.  iPhoto is based on a SQUL database like Aperture and uses virtual folders,  albums, keywords, descriptions, titles  to group and keep track of photos.  It's not a file based system like you would have in the Finder. In iPhoto a photo can be grouped in multiple albums, slideshows, books, etc. and not take up any additional space on the  hard drive.
    Read Terence Devlin's post in this topic as he details how to manage photos in iPhoto more succinctly that I could: Better way to organize my images?: Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to keep using a file system then iPhoto is not the application for you.  Maybe look into Picasa for Mac or one of the professional DAM (digital asset management) apps like Media Pro 1.

  • Does photo stream use storage space on iPhone?

    Mine came with 13.5 GB, am down to 6.2 available, also, if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right? I want to delete them because my photo stream is a replica of my camera roll, and if it is using storage space on phone,well that's just a waste of space.

    if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right?
    Yes. Both iPhoto and Image Capture include an option to delete photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete as with any other digital camera.
    If you don't have another iOS device and you aren't interested in making use of the iPhoto option on your Mac to automatically import photos from your Photo Stream so you don't have to do this manually, you don't need Photo Stream enabled. Be sure to import from the Camera Roll often and/or back up your iPhone regularly without having Photo Stream enabled.

  • Storage Space with Photo Connector

    Friends,
    I have a 20gb u2 photo iPod. I'm using an ipod photo connector and it seems to only let me store about 2gb of photos when this is still like 12gb of free space on the ipod. What is the go with that?
    Cheers

    Hello Sean R,
    Do you mean that you want to create a two way mirror storage space with 6TB space?
    Based on my test, I create three VHD, two 4GB VHD and one 8 GB VHD.
    And then try to create a two way mirror storage space. Please take a look at the following screenshot.
    The total pool capacity is only 13.7 GB, so I can create a 8GB storage space with fault tolerant.
    Best regards,
    Fangzhou CHEN

  • I subscribed to 200 GB of Icloud drive storage space. How am I able to put my photos, documents etc. to my icloud storage?

    I thought the new icloud drive would function simlarly to dropbox or google drive. How do import a photo taken from my iphone or ipad to my icloud drive storage space?

    The "iCloud Photo Library" is still in beta right now and is not operational. it will probably be operational when the new Mac OS is released. When it is operational, both your iPad and iPhone will have the same "iCloud Photo Library".

  • Sync manager part fail: "Error: Insufficient Storage Space&qu

    I'm using sync manager to transfer my collection of 3502 songs from my Zen Xtra to my PC before I upgrade to a 60GB Vision M.
    It completes the sync but with 92 songs moved and a message that it is "complete with errors". The remaining songs each have the message "Error: Insufficient Storage Space"
    The peculiar thing, my computer has 240GBs free!
    Please can someone advise how to fix this and backup my songs? - Thank you.

    You're not the only one with problems synching with?an Xtra. It appears that creative introduced a bug in their newer software that causes the transfer to fail regardless of how much space you have. Try installing the old software that came with the Xtra to copy it off. Creative sure has stellar support for their products, eh?Next time I'll go with another vendor. This is simply shoddy service on their part.
