Photostream storage question(s)

Hey.
I have a couple of questions regarding photostream, should I choose to share a photostream with friends:
1. Is there a photo limit? i.e. My personal photostream allows up to 1,000 photos. Is this the same with shared streams?
2. If I was to share a photostream and then delete the photos from my iDevice (I presume they stay in the photostream) where is the shared photostream stored; iCloud? iDevice?
I ask because I am removing my Facebook profile however I have hundreds of Facebook photos which my friends still want to be able to see (yet not download them unless needed...) and I was going to stick them in a photostream for them to still have.
All and any help is appreciated.
Thom

Not sure about the question, but I will tell you my personal experience.
I have a few shared photostreams from Holiday events, and when I deleted the photos from the Camera Roll, and My Photo Stream, the photos still remain in my shared photo streams that I have shared with others.
And that is fantastic, I am happy with that.
My question is, are the pictures in the shared photostreams that I have created and shared with others, stored on my device, only in iCloud, both, or maybe they are just temporarily cached to my device?
Always wondered. It's not a big issue for me, as I have tons of space, and I know there is a limit on shared photo streams, but I have friends that have 16GB iPhones with limited free space that have been apprehensive about making or subscribing to shared photo streams.

Photostream storage use

I am a bit confused about Photostream and storage use. Have search the communities, just to find out that there are a lot of different answers. I have also search Apple Support without any success, so here I go:
Photostream on OS X:
The photos i Photostream are stored in iCloud. I have to save them or transfer them into iPhoto, before they use any storage?
Photostream on AppleTV:
Just stream, they will never be downloaded or use any storage? They still be in iCloud?
iOS:
Photos in Photostream use storage on my device, if I choose to look at them or using others shared Photostream?
If this i true, why the difference between storage use on the different devices?
(I am aware of, that photos taken on my iOS use storage in the Camera Roll, but if the pictures are transferred from another camera into my OS X, they still be appering in Photostream on my iOS)
I really appriciate an answer, preferably with a source.
Best Regards

Hi randers4
thank you for your replay
1. "OS X: Photo stream photos are streamed to iPhoto. They can automatically be imported to your iPhoto library by checking Automatic Import in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream."
Demands that you choose to do so.
2. "Apple TV: Photo stream photos only stream to your Apple TV as it lacks internal storage to store photos. They remain in iCloud for 30 days."
Yes, I understand that, but why can you stream from Apple TV, without downloading, and are forced to download on your iOS-device?
I´m sorry if I wasn´t clear in my question:
Why does Photostream on a iOS-device use storage automaticly, if OS X and Apple TV doesn't?
Best Regards

Dropbox/cloud storage question (help i am feeling like a big dummy)

i have used iDisk in the past and now use drobpox and for some reason my brain has never allowed me to understand how to handle an issue with dropbox and (kind as they are) my previous inquiries to the dropbox folks have never cleared this up for me. it /seems/ like it is a practical question with real and serious consequences but i am feeling particularly thick about it and am always stuck like a deer in the headlights when i run into it. anyone able and willing to walk me past this?
here is the scenario:
i have moved data onto dropbox from either my desktop machine or from my laptop machine. it is hours and hours later and i am now on the laptop and i see a red X on the dropbox icon.
can you please explain to me in detail what i need to do at this point? for instance, i don't know whether i moved a large folder with subfolder and files and subfiles and whether this included other un-nested folders or other un-nested files and i am confused as to what the red X means.
i mean, presumably if i buy additional storage all the files will be synced up on dropbox and accessible from my two computers and the data that i MOVED from the computers (and that put me over the limit) will not be on the computer that i MOVED it from?!
what happens if i /don't/ upgrade?
can you please tell me how i handle this assuming i don't pay dropbox to make more space?
i mean - i guess all the data is there but - well but what??
- jon

When you move a file to Dropbox you are actually moving it to a folder on your Mac called 'Dropbox'. Dropbox then syncs this folder to the server.
If you put more data in the folder than your limit, Dropbox won't sync it. The files will simply stay there - they aren't in Dropbox, they are on your Mac. If you move the excess files out syncing will start again. So what you propose will work.
In this situation there are some files in your Dropbox folder which are also on the server, and some - those over the limit - which aren't. If you move the latter out of the folder then no change has been made. If you move some of the files which have been synced, those files will be removed from Dropbox and if this brings you under the limit syncing will resume.

Snow Leopard and Direct Access Storage Question

Hello All,
I am planning on adding a DAS to my iMAC for storage and data recovery. I will likely be running a RAID 5 configuration. My question is how to set the DAS up as a multi-user device so that each user has security and privacy for their information.
I don't know if Snow Leopard supports this feature. I also don't know if I would be required to set up different partitions for each user.
Can anyone shed some light?
Best regards,
Nik H

You should be able to turn off the "Ignore ownership on this volume" checkbox in the Finder's Get Info window.

Use PE Organizer or Lightroom to Catalog Videos + Storage Questions

Hello everyone. I'm re-entering the video arena after several years and have purchased a new entry level HD camcorder and plan on using Premier Elements for editing home videos. Nothing professional, just home movies, youth sports, stuff like that.
I have been an avid stills photographer however and have defined a workflow that I'm comfortable with. With stills - usually RAW files, I import them to an external hard drive first, import them into Lightroom, then proceed to catalog and keyword them appropriately.
Question 1: I know my way around Lightroom and it does allow for the cataloging and keywording of video files. I see that PE 12 has an organizer built into the program. Is there any advantage of me using PE's Organizer over Lightroom? They are all Adobe products, I'm just wondering if there is some sort of integration between PE's Organizer and Editor that will buy me an easier workflow or not. Otherwise I'll just use Lightroom.
Question 2: So a few years back I was taking videos with a DV camcorder, importing the video, editing it, burning a DVD, then deleting the source files AND the finished product that was burned to the DVD. I was certainly a novice and as I became more involved with photography and the technology itself, I came to realize that blowing away the finished product and relying on DVDs as storage was a bad idea. This means for those yesteryear videos I took I must hope a) that the discs never go "bad", which I know now they won't last forever, and b) that I must keep at least some machine around in the next decades that can play these discs. Yes, Blu-Ray players are backward compatible, but who knows in 20 years, right? At some point I'll try and look into capturing those DVDs back to a digital file, but that's besides the point. So I know I do not want to rely on DVDs as a "preservation" or archiving method for finished produced videos. The raw source files I'm not too worried about. I'll keep them around on an external drive and burn them to DVD-R, and worse case I'll have to roll them off the external drive if I run out of space and cannot afford a new drive right away. So my question is: a) what is the best format to store the finished video so that I am not reliant on DVDs as my primary preservation method and b) a format that I can use to re-burn a DVD or Blu-Ray disc later should I need to make additional copies and the original DVD/Blu-Ray disc is no longer available for a straight copy? The "b" portion of this question is of key importance to me right now because while I have a decent Blu-Ray player, I do not have the capabilities to burn a Blu-Ray (or even a DVD for that matter). I plan on getting a Blu-Ray burner within the next 6 months, but until then I will need to create finished videos that will eventually be turned into DVDs/Blu-Rays. What format could I store the finished product in so that I can go back and easily burn video to a DVD or Blu-Ray disc later? I would think the format would be very specific for Blu-Ray burning later especially.
Sorry for the long post. I tried to keep it as short as possible.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the follow ups. Sorry for the delayed response. Was thinking about your questions but got detoured several times.
Let us start with archiving....I do not know that there is a perfect solution with changing times et al.
1. Project Archiving would appear at face value to be a good choice
a. preserves your source media that the project file needs to trace back to
b. preserves the project file with all its edits so that your re-entry into the project will allow you further edits and/or alternative
export choices.
c. there is a concern about disc menus in archived projects but you say that the disc menu aspect of the matter is not important to you
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Archiving Projects With Disc Menus
My main problem with Project Archiver is that you are dependent on being able to open the archived project file in the same version in which it was
created or a later version...the later the version, the more the concern.
2. When it comes to burn tos DVD, AVCHD, or Blu-ray....VIDEO_TS, BDMV, BDMV & Blu-ray disc image....
a. The best of all worlds might be accomplished by saving the VIDEO_TS Folder from a burn to folder for DVD and saving the BDMV from a burn to folder for AVCHD. There is no Premiere Elements burn to folder for Blu-ray. Depending on the version of Premiere Elements and the computer operating system, you could try for a burn to Blu-ray disc image with Phantom Burner in conjunction with Premiere Elements.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Disc Image/Phantom Burner & PE
I would probably have more confidence on finding a program now or in the future - ImgBurn, Nero...to be available to take the VIDEO_TS, BDMV, or Blu-ray disc image to disc. You might even consider a burn to Blu-ray, followed by copying the BDMV Folder from it for archiving purposes. The video files from VIDEO_TS and BDMV are easily extracted.
3. If preserving the edited Timeline is the target, then SD project I would probably go with DV AVI standard or widescreen, if HD, probably an AVCHD.mp4 or AVCHD.m2t.
If Premiere Elements versions got stronger on disc image, I suspect I would go that route to preserve a project. Right now, I am doing a mix of all of the above.
As for Lightroom, Elements Organizer, and Premiere Elements. I am not a great fan of Lightroom. Neither am I have heavy user of Elements Organizer. However, I have looked a some Lightroom tryouts along the way to see what it is all about.
1. With regard to your use of Photoshop Elements 9 plus Lightroom, that seems consistent with the workflows suggested by others and the gains to be gotten in using the best attributes of each.
Integrate Lightroom with Elements – Photoshop Elements User
You would probably get greater advantage using the same version of Elements Organizer as Photoshop Elements for the sake of integration.
Just in case note....Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements are standalone programs, each coming with its own Elements Organizer. When Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements same versions are on the same computer they share the same Elements Organizer catalog..
2. For me, Lightroom and Premiere Elements, unlike Photoshop Elements, and video never seemed to integrate well.
The following is a link to some work I did with LIghtroom when I was at a forum that I no longer visit
Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Module Visited - Elements Village
From my perspective, Premiere Elements integration with Elements Organizer and Photoshop Elements gives me a workflow that meets my needs.
My camera does not record raw image format. But, if I have Camera Raw installed on my computer with Premiere Elements, I can import raw image format and dng as source media into a Premiere Elements project. For edit of the raw image format, I need the Camera Raw dialog which requires the presence of Photoshop Elements which I have.
Please review and consider the above and then let me know if I have targeted your question.
Thank you.

Touch storage question

This is a novice question, but as I await the arrival of my first ipod I have wondered if files can be moved back and forth from the iPod touch to my computer when storage space is needed? Like when I am finished with X number of movies, can they be moved back to my computer to make room for more?

well the touch does not have the disk mode so you can't be transfering stuff back and forth. However, if you have songs and movies in your ipod but it also in itunes you can delete stuff on ipod through itunes, but it will not affect the itunes library.

ELOM Remote Console Scriptability and Remote Storage Questions

Hello,
I have a few questions reguarding scriptability of the Java Web Start eLOM Remote Console and the use of this application for redirecting remote storage.
Setup:
- x6250s in 6048 chasis
- x6250 Bios version 1ADPI040 & SP version 4.0.52
- Sun eLOM Remote Console version 2.53.05
- CentOS 5.2
Questions:
- I'd like to write a wrapper script that would allow me to start a remote console on the Linux command line. Then, a command line like "myjavaconsole bladexyz" would give me a java remote KVM without me having to click through the web interface. Is something like this possible? Hints?
- The [Sun Blade X6250 Server Module Embedded Lights Out Manager Administration Guide|http://docs.sun.com/source/820-1253-14/remote_con.html#0_66586] says that you can use the eLOM Remote Console GUI to redirect storage devices including CD/DVD drives, Flash, DVD-ROM or diskette disk drives, hard drives, or NFS. These seem very instersting options, but I've only been able to sucessfully redirect an ISO image. Are these other options really possible?
- Is it possible to script the mounting/unmounting of remote ISO images or other storage? I would love to be able to control blade boot processes by having this functionality.
Thank you,
-Matthew

It seems the problem is related somehow to the setup of my Windows box. I did try a couple of other Windows boxes with the same result, but everything worked perfectly when using a Linux/ubuntu system to run the remote console. The blade saw the CD, booted from it, and is now happily running ESX Server.
The wierd thing is, the ubuntu system was running inside VMWare Workstation on the same Windows PC that has the problems, and was accessing the same physical CD drive. Sometimes you have to think out of the box, or in this case into a box inside the box:-)
I guess if these things we all straightforward I'd be out of a job, so I shouldn't complain!!

Wireless WRT610N Storage Question - Formats

I just bought the WRT610N router. I have no connection issues what so ever. Everythings been beautiful since startup. The real question is the USB storage option. I have a MyBook 500GB USB drive. It is formatted for the Mac OSX operating system. Is there some reason why the router does not understand this Format? Must i format it to FAT in order to utilize the networking storage option? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

It has a problem recognizing formats other than FAT. Which also means you will have a hard (impossible) time storing a file that exceeds 4GB on the attached drive. It will also be incompatible with many backup programs. Hope you didn't really want to use the attached drive for much...
On the WRT600N it will only use FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. However, the FAT32 and NTFS partitions wouldn't function very well. I have heard that the kernel is Linux-based, and if you are familiar with Linux you can bypass some of these issues by using a Linux format.
A+ Certified, over 15 years of hands on computer and home networking experience...and I still get lost!

Some storage question !!!

Hi al
Customer ask me some question and hope that some specialist can help me:
1) Is ST6000 support RAID migration from any RAID type to any RAID type?
2) Can I upgrade firmware non-disruptively in ST6000 ? In some presentation slide about ST6000, I see can, but I think it can not and we have to reboot storage controller after upgrade.
3) Sun ST9000 support virtualization and can control storage from other vendors, but what is the list of storage from other vendor that it can support ?
4) Sun ST9900: With Virtual Storage Machine, we can create virtual storage with some resource (cache, I/O, disk) but can we re-assign (add/remove) resource online without data lost and non-disruptively ?
5) Sun ST9900: Can we create a LUN with disk resource spread in several external storage of different vendor ?
Thanks all

Hello,
1) Yes, however the following applies:
■There can be only one VDisk in a Pool, if you are changing the level at the pool level
■There can only a single volume in a VDisk, if you are changing the level at the volume level
■Migrations to a RAID 1+0 require an even number of drives
■The volume sizes remain unchanged, so a migration from a RAID 5+1 to 3+3 would require that the volumes can be contained within the space of 3 drives of the original 5+1 VDisk
2) Yes for controller firmware, No for disk firmware. If it is a dual-controller array (with multi-pathing properly configured), then you can do one controller at a time, while the first controller reboots, it will fail over to the remaining controller on the redundant path. Disk firmware will REQUIRE down time however..
Hope this helps,
Sean

Shared Photostream Storage Limit on Devices

I'm worries with the addition of videos to Shared Photostreams that all my storage space on my iOS devices will be consumed by pictures and videos from shared Photostreams I subscribe to and manage. Does anyone know if there is a cache limit on each iOS device that limits the amount of storage space shared photos and videos take up? A lot of apps contain the absolute for users to establish a local storage/cache limit and I would hope Apple is controlling this on our devices as well.

If you have old photos in your photo stream on your mac, be sure to move them into a permanent album, otherwise if you some day turn off PS or have to reset the device and restore, the stream will be be set and you'll only find the latest 30 days' worth of photos in the stream album - older ones will have been deleted. If those were moved into another album, then they will remain.

Backup or Storage Question and Default File Location

I just got a EX2 6TB and I am very new to this concept of cloud storage.I have my EX2 in RAID 1. I have two questions: 1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that? I want to use this primarily as storage and move files from my computer, which is full, to the EX2. But, if I use the EX2 as storage then I assume I need a backup system - another EX2 or separate external drive. 2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work? Thanks! Mike

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.
1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?
1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that?
Yes, you can use that as both. Just make sure to map the drive properly and it will show within your network and you will be able to copy and paste files to it manually and to access to the drive directly.
2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work?
Not sure if you will be able to set the unit as a primary storage for all of your applications. Some of them will not allow you to save directly to a network unit.

Dropbox/cloud storage question (help i feel like a dope)

Storage questions on adobe for android

How do I get downloaded pdf's from internal storage to my ext. sd card? Also why do some of them go to the ext. sd and some don't, all of them were "downloaded".

For the first question: If you want to save a file in a different folder in Adobe Reader for Android, you can go tap on the 'Documents' tab. On the top toolbar, you will see an 'Edit' option. Tap on it and select the file(s) you want to move. Now, on the top toolbar, you would see an icon which looks like a folder with an arrow. Tap on this and now you can enter the desired location where you want to save this file.
As for the second question, that seems to be the behaviour of the OS. The download location is sometimes affected by the method of download i.e. whether the file was downloaded from a web browser or an email client.

Ipod Shuffle Storage Question

Hello,
I own a 2GB 4th Generation IPod Shuffle.
My current playlist is I-Tunes says that I have 132 items with 10.4 hours of content at 1.13 GB. But when I look at my storage space status on my I-Pod, it says that I am over capacity.
Why does it say I'm over capacity when I'm clearly not?
When syncing my I Pod, I manually manage my music instead of using the Autosync. Could this be part of the problem/reason?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
PS: I apologize in advance if this question has already been brought up.

UPDATE.....
Something really screwy is going on here
I got rid of 4 of my songs on my playlist and freed up around 0.03 GB of capacity
I then put those 4 same songs from my library back on my playlist and when I synced it still had that 0.03 GB of free capacity
I also notice that when I download a podcast from the itunes store into my itunes library, the space that the podcast would use up shows up on my ipod capacity bar, eventhough I haven't downloaded it to my ipod yet!!!...wierd.
I wonder if should just delete my entire playlist and create a new one from scratch with the exact same songs.

Hyper-V Failover w/ Local Storage question

I'll also suggest option 3 - Replicating to an offsite service that can power up the VMs in the event of disaster.
Azure is a good bet. Especially when paired with System Center Data Protection Manager
Also Datto has a backup appliance with built in local virtualization and hybrid cloud storage with offsite virtualization.

Hi everyone,I have a question about Hyper-V Failover for a client of mine.He runs SQL (very small database roughly 3GB) and would like a MAXIMUM of 1-hour of downtime in the event of a failure.I'm thinking about a hyper-v scenario with Failover using local storage (he doesn't have the funds for shared storage).We will have 2 virtual servers: a DC and the sql server.Do I need 3rd party software to duplicate the local storage data across servers, or is this accomplished with the replication that occurs every 5 minutes in Hyper-V?High availability isn't necessary, but if I'm able to get him back up and running with minimal data loss in under an hour, he's going to be a happy camper.I've looked high and low for an answer to this, but seem to be getting mixed reviews.What do you guys think?On another note, those who care to answer:1)...
