Storage showing 5GB of photos even though library deleted?

Hi there,
I wanted to free up space on my MBA and as I have a Mac I thought I would get rid of all of the photos in iPhoto.
1. Emptied iphoto and then emptied the iphoto trash
2. Emptied the trash and then secure emptied the trash
3. Deleted the iphoto library
Click on About my Mac and then storage and its still showing 5gb of photos...
Any ideas on what they could be and how to get rid of them to free up the valuable space?

Hi,
icloud drive is not turned on, neither is Photo Stream (on the MBA anyway) 
I have even deleted the photo library folder and then set up a new one... - this shows 5GB of photo's but nothing in the photo library?
I am most confused...
Thanks
S

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • Inspector shows stills as 60fps even though project is 25fps?

    My Inspector shows stills as 60fps even though my project is set for 25fps and a couple of other weird things appear.
    1. My still default has been set to 5 seconds, yet photos appear in the Event Library as 10 seconds. When I click on one, half of it (5 seconds) is highlighted and can be dragged to the project/timeline.
    2. However, if I select several photos simultaneously, the whole 10 seconds of each is highlighted and when dragged to the timeline each one is 10 seconds, not the 5 seconds I want.
    How can I batch drag pictures so that they have a duration of 5 seconds?
    Just in case the title is not clear  .  .  .  .

    Putting 2 a3c's on a timeline invites problems. Export as a single audio file.
    This did the trick.  I deleted the two separate files, extracted the AC3 streams from the 2 source files and combined them into a single AC3 files (used eac3to for this), then added that to the project and placed on the timeline.  Now it no longer transcodes the audio.

  • I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. The upload stalls and fails. Address:

    I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size in the Feed Editor shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. I am using Safari on Intel Mac 10.5.8. at Kennesaw State University. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is the second day. I tried using a new Apple feed to test. Still not working. I uploaded a 50MB mp3 file. The first time the upload failed. The second time the file showed that it was uploading a 2 GB file. It has been about 20 minutes now and shows "3.5GB of 2.0GB 178% Completed". Now it has started uploading all over again - it is now showing 399.4MB or 2.0 GB - 19% Completed. I dont know if this will keep looping - but I am going to Cancel.
    Please let me know what other information do you need from me. Definitely need some help with this!

    Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

  • My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

    My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

    Close the videos app and launch it again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT5934 How do I stop this update uploading to my mobile? Because I can't take any photos at all and the update is using up every inch of my mobile's space,not allowing me to keep all of my photos even though I've not got that many on there in the first pl

    How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?

    Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
    To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
    Hope I've helped

  • Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

  • Not to show the detail records even though the mater records are existing.

    Dear Oracle
    I would like not to show the detail records even though the mater records are existing. Is there any block preperty I can set?
    Thanks

    I don't know the reason why you would want to do that but if you do not want to any record in the master block in
    a master-details format, then you could achieve this by setting the WHERE clause property in the block.
    e.g., master block DEPT (base table DEPT) and detail block EMP (base table EMP)
    table DEPT is as follow
    dept_id (pk)
    dept_name
    table EMP is as follow
    emp_id
    emp_name
    dept_id (fk)
    then you can set the WHERE clause in the DEPT block as follows
    exists (select 1 from emp a where a.dept_id = dept.dept_id)
    hope this help

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

  • Clq status shows quorum server offline even though the clq service is runni

    Hi,
    In a 2 Node + 1 QS sun cluster 3.2 cluster, clq status is showing quorum sever offline even though the clq process is running on the quorum server. to make the quorum server online, i have to either remove and add the quorum server from cluster, or incase if there is a failure on any one of the node's both th nodes will reboot and once both joined to the cluster, I can see clq status showing quorum server online!!!
    Why is the quorum server going offline automatically?
    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Many thanks in advance
    Ushas Symon

    Hi,
    I asssume you mean the scqsd process is running on the QS, right?
    A QS is shown as offline, it the monitor could not reach it when it last tried. This is usually due to a networking problem.
    If you issue a clq status, the monitor checks again and if it can reach the QS will change its status back to online.
    If this does not happen, check your logs, what kind of error message showed up.
    Does clqs show on the QS show the correct information?
    It is obvious, that if a node dies and the QS has been offline prior to the node death, that the other node will die as well due to lack of quorum, i.e. it has less votes than needed. You seem to have a basic networking problem or something is really wrong with your QS.
