Used iPhoto to import and delete some pictures, but they are still consuming ~6GB of space on phone according to iTunes

I have imported a bunch of photos over the years from iPhone to computer using iPhoto, selecting the option to delete them from the phone after import. iPhoto says I have 458 items on the phone. When I go into the Camera app, it says that there are 458 items on the Camera Roll. But when I go to the iTunes sync screen, it says 1458 photos are taking up 9.14 GB, which would be about right if the deleted pictures aren't really deleted. iTunes says that the phone has 1.34GB free, which agrees with what Settings->General->Usage->Storage tells me. I tried powering off the phone and doing a reset, but it still says 11.9GB are in use on the phone...
I deleted the pictures because I was worried about running out of space, but it now appears that I don't have the pictures OR the free space! How do I get the deleted pictures to give up their space on the phone?

I'm simply trying to get enough space to update my 5s because of the whole thing where you're phone needs room to install an update. I deleted over 100 songs off of my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer. I decided to sync to see if it would show up, but all that did was add the apps from other people's devices in my house. Then I disconnected and my phone froze. I plugged it back in, got the apple logo and it loaded again, but still it showed 825 songs on my iPhone while according to iTunes, I have 666 songs on my iPhone. What do I do?
All I wanted was to update my iPhone but as usual, Apple makes things 10x more complicated than they need to be.
Apple isn't making this 10x more complicated you are.
If you deleted the music why are you syncing back apps from other user on your computer?
Have you tried deleting the music directly from your phone and then update over the air?

HELP. I deleted some files, but they are still in the Nib I think

I have royally messed up. I'm working on a cocoa app with various Quartz Compositions in it using QC View's. The .qtz files have been loaded into the Nib via the QC View's, but by accident I have deleted the original .qtz files from my disk.
I can still build the application and the views work as it seems the .qtz files must be cached into the nib file. However I can't get to them to save them back to my disk. Is there any way to get a .qtz file out of a nib after its been loaded in. Perhaps some way to reverse save the file out to disk?
Sorry its so rambling, its just that I've spent weeks getting these compositions right and now I've gone and deleted them I'm beside myself
I have tried looking inside the the nib file with 'Show package contents' but none of the .qtz files are in there. How are they cached in the nib?
Thanks you for any help. I'm also trying various file recovery apps, but so far no luck.

I tried all sorts of utilities to get the files back, but no luck. So I sat down with plenty of coffee and retraced my work as best I could remember.
After a full days work, I have recreated all the files and actually made quite a few improvements along the way!! Although I lost some time, I actually ended with a better end product, so not such a disaster after all

Since swapping my iphone i have lost all my pictures but they are still all saved in instagram! How do i get them back to my camera roll?

Since swapping my broken iphone 4s for a new one i have lost all my pictures from camera roll but they are still saved in my instagram. Is there a way to get them saved back to phone? Also my whatsapp is not working since upgrading to IOS6??
Please help.

You can not put them back in the camera roll. The camera roll is temporary storage for new photos taken with the phone. You can sync them back to your phone in another album using iTunes.
As for whatsapp, ask the developer. That is not an Apple product.

Iphone has deleted calender events but they are still showing on hotmail

I have the Iphone 4 running on IOS6. I don't know if it has anything to do with the update but I have noticed all my calendar events have disappeared on my phone! I have not changed any settings on my phone for this to happen. Luckily, I can see that the events are still showing when I log into hotmail and click on calendar. Here is what my settings currently show:
Default Calendar is set to Hotmail
Sync = 'All Events'
Under Hotmail Accounts Calendars is Turned On
Mail Days to Sync - No Limit
Icloud Calendars is turned off. I have never Synced my Calendar to Icloud, I have tried switching this on but not much happened.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok I've actually been able to answer my own question. I went into Calendars then clicked on the Calendars tab in the top left hand corner. For some reason 'All Hotmail' was not ticked only the 'All on My iPhone' tab, so as soon as I clicked 'All Hotmail' all my events now show! Yeahhhhh boi!

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

What upgrade did you apply? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

I had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

Hallo together,
I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

No, they probably got lost out there somewhere. They're gone.

I set in prefferances plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

I set in preferences plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

They are being shown. When Photoshop gray out items it means in the documents current state that item is not supported, Get the document into a state that the grayed out filters can be used. Some filters mat not support some modes like CMYK. 32bit color, Lab etc. They seem to be listed but nor currently applicable. Note whem no document is open all are grayed out the when a simple clipboard image is open all are available.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

Used iPhoto to import and delete some pictures, but they are still consuming ~6GB of space on phone according to iTunes
