Photo / video resolution: Choice?

I can't find any control panel where I could select a certain resolution for pics & videos. Must I really take every video in HD? My memory is too small for a longer video, so SD would save me.
Thank you!

You can't find it because there is no such option.

ALL-PHOTOS-VIDEOS buttons don't work in iOS app

Hi there!
I just downloaded the Revel iOS app which I found amazing! The best memories cloud storage solution I've found so far!
I found an issue with the app, when watching all the photos in a library, the ALL PHOTOS VIDEOS buttons don't work at all. They overlap the search bar. I'm using the app in an iPhone 6 plus.
Will you support the iPhone 6 and 6 plus resolutions? I see the latest iOS version is from July 31st 2014. I wouldn't want to use an app that is not updated!
THanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,
Adobe isn't responding to requests for information about the future of the iOS app, or even the future of the service itself. It's a shame for those of us who like the app/service, but you might be better off looking at a different photo service (before you get locked in). For more information, check out these posts:

Reduce video resolution

Is there a way to reduce the captured video resolution of the camera?
Video files are HUGE in size and 1. Take forever to load on Apple TV to show others (a minutes and a half video takes almost a minute and a half before the video will start to play) 2. Videos are taking up WAY too much room on my iphone. A three minute video is 512MB. While I know 1080p is impressive, it isn't very practical for short clips that don't require all that video detal, especially if they are only going to be played back on the device. 1920x1080 video doesn't give any value to a 960x640 screen. I have 6GB left on my phone and want to be able take a handful of videos photos on my vacation. At this rate, it doesn't appear that I will get to take as many videos as I was once able to with the 3GS. In any matter, please let me know if there is a way to reduce the video resoltuion.

There is no way to reduce the video resolution using the rear facing camera, however if you use the front facing camera, the video will be shot in SD.

Any way to adjust output video resolution from STB?

I have a HD Pioneer video monitor (PDP-503CMX + PDA5002) and a HDTV Sharp LC-26SB14U. The pioneer supports native HD video resolution of 1080i and the Sharp supports native 720p. Both units have a feature that allows users to "scroll through" multiple "display modes" (e.g., full, zoom, wide, etc.) to match up the display of the current video to the viewer's tastes. The "best looking" format depends on the broadcast content / quality / format.
This "display mode" functionality worked on both my "TVs" when I used Time Warner cable, a week ago. They also worked when I used an antenna to pull HD broadcasts off-air. But now that I have swtiched to FiOS the STB seems to somehow "fix" the video output signal in some way so that both TVs show only the "full" display. I don't like it -- the edges of the video (both top/bottom and sides) are cropped ... and worse yet, this display mode suppresses the crisp "native display" mode in favor of an inferior display mode where the video signal seems to be somehow "interpolated." This interpolation / artificial enlargement results in a poorer quality video -- particularly noticable on the 52" monitor.
Any ideas how to adjust the STB output so that it uses the "native display" mode, if it must be locked into only one mode ... or better yet how to set the video output signal so that I can choose the mode myself (like I was able to do with the cable box and off-air antenna)?
Thanks.
Solved!

There is no "native" or pass-thru mode on the Verizon STB. You can select either 1080i or 720p for HD output (the box will interpolate to that fixed resolution regardless of the source material resolution).
The additional choice is what is called 4:3 override. You can pick 480i, 480p, stretch or OFF. The first 3 are self explanatory while the last one (OFF) outputs SD in 4:3 aspect ratio upconverted to your selected HD resolution.
Hope that helps.

if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
Good luck.

What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states.
I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc. Too public. I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state).
Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RJ Chesterton

an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
config is via a dedicated set-up utility
however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

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.

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.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

Itunes doesn't seem to synch "wirelessly" with my iphone. It seems to work with emails but not photos / videos I've taken on my phone. Also, there is no "device" listed on itunes menu bar, only when connected via cables

My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanks

IPhone 4 in Recovery Mode--will I get my photos&videos back when I restore?

Last night, after syncing my iPhone 4, I attempted to download and install the latest iPhone software. It downloaded (after 3 hours which was crazy especially since download and successful installation took less than an hour with my husband's iPhone 3GS) and started to install. However, the installation failed and now a popup says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used in iTunes." My phone shows an illustration indicating that I should plug it into iTunes.
My number one concern is whether or not I will be able to recover my photos. I have many photos and videos of my 6-month-old daughter on my phone that I do not want to lose. I did attempt to start a restore but cancelled when it said that I would lose all of my media. It said I would have the option of restoring my contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. It doesn't say anything about my photos and videos. Will I be able to restore my photos and videos??
Thank you!
MrsKinsey

You will only get them back if you synced before you started the download/install, therefore creating a backup (or mirror image) of your phone. If you didn't, chances are photos/videos and anything else you may have downloaded will be gone.
Make sure you always transfer ALL photos whenever you connect your phone, this way you know you still have them and can sync them back to your phone to enjoy wherever you are.

Central, wireless, storage of all music, photos, videos, movies?

Hi all,
Please excuse if this is covered elsewhere... i looked and could not find a direct answer. A friend pointed me towards the DS214 play and after some research i am not sure i need to leave the apple family or pay for the Synology name. As a somewhat tech saavy father of 2.5 kids (due May), i wanted to ask other apple parents if they have similar needs with their home enjoyment and see what solutions are out there.
My situation. i have a 1TB imac and a macbook pro. We store all music and tv shows/movies puchased on the imac so apple tv can access them. we have our current iphoto library on the imac where we interact with iphones and ipads, and also apple tv for pics/home videos.
my problem is that i have tens of thousands of pics and a thousand home movies stored on external drives because i ran out of room on the imac hard drive and because iphoto wasn't performing well with so many files in one library. we use iphoto manager (3rd party) to jump between libraries which is fine but not ideal. I hate having different external drives connected for fear they may die one day or a cord gets pulled out or a child breaks one. furthermore, i am using externals to back up my externals, etc etc. it's a physical hardware mess. i want to take my digital family life to the next level using a home HUB of sorts.
Here are a few examples of what we want, thanks in advance for any help!
1. We have an imac and a macbook pro laptop. Is there any way to store the main photo library centrally so that we can edit and organize pictures and videos from both machines and have the changes/updates seamless appear on the other? (thought was to store the iphoto library file on a hub or similar, not on the imac hard drive)
2. We have two apple tvs and would like both to be able to access all movies, music, photos, videos from a central storage. right now they speak to the itunes library on the imac which is fine. but neither can access our archive iphoto libraries stored on external hard drives connected to the imac.
3. Aside from buying a much bigger and more expensive computer, and putting everything back on the main hard drive... my thought was if all these photos (and / or libraries) were stored in a central HUB location i could access them from both a laptop and imac and save myself the space on the computer hard drives and access them interchangeably without worrying about an external drives being unplugged, dropped, etc.
But this goes back to #1 and #2 above, can all these files, found in either one huge iphoto library and itunes library, or several libraries, be stored in a central wireless HUB location and be accessed and shared and enjoyed as if they were sitting on the main computer hardrive?
Lastly, i would like the ability to back everything up... meaning a HUB that had two drives or a partition so it could back itself up. basically swapping out 3 USB connected hard drives used as storage and backup for some sort of wireless HUB, that can be used by a few computers, apple tv and back itself up?
thank you very much in advance. I hope all this makes sense....
best,
JW

iPhoto Libraries must be located on a drive that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored for it to work properly and be used by more than one user. It should not be accessed wirelessly as that can lead to library database corruption due to dropouts occurring when writhing to the library's database file. The following is from this Apple document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users - Apple Support.
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss. If you use both iPhoto and Aperture with the same library, using a Mac OS X Extended formatted volume is recommended. For more information, see Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
As you know iPhoto has been discontinued and is being replaced by a new application called "Photos". It will have integration with the iCloud Drive and offer library sharing of some kind between Macs. We'll have to wait for it's release sometime this Spring before we know more.
