When iPhoto imports both from Photostream and USB sync, how to select 'remove from iphone' source and avoid duplicates?

Through observation, it appears/feels like Photostream is not only sync'ing as its own stream but (contrary to what I'd thought before) is also importing into my local iPhoto library. Is this correct? And yet, if I want to free up storage on my iPhone, I have found that the easiest, surest way is to sync by USB, select Import, and then Remove from Phone when it's done. The confusion I have here, however, is that it seems that only the photos actually imported by USB sync are candidates for removal from my phone.
If I have 500 photos, and let's say 200 photos have been photostream syncd, so when I go to Import, I select "Don't import duplicates" at the prompt, I think after Remove from Phone, I'll be left with 300 photos sitting on my iPhone.
Is this all correct? What's the best/right way to do it so I never lose a photo or video and also don't clutter up my iPhoto?
Thanks

Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

Wifi and USB sync doesnt work with iTunes 12

Mac Pro running Mavericks
iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.1.1 iPhone 6 plus
(other ipads iOS 7, etc etc)
wifi and USB sync doesn't work for my iPhone running iOS 8.1.1. The device doesn't even show up listed anywhere in iTunes! iPhoto does show the device
and I've been able to save off photos from my phone.
I will point out that when connected via USB cable my phone does display a pop up asking if it should trust the computer it is connected to. I, of course, answer yes.
Likewise other iOS devices in the house (3 ipads) running iOS 7 and iOS 8. Non sync at all via wifi.

i've emailed them but there's no update required.
iTunes is the problem
iTunes might be the problem but doubtful Apple will change it to "fix" VL plugin.
And VL is looking at the problem.

Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

Where do my photo files down load to when iPhoto imports them

It goes into a Originals or Masters folder inside the iPhoto Library "package" which is really a folder designed not to look like one so people don't open it up and mess with it's insides.
Normally you can manage your photo's in iPhoto and export copies from there, but in emergency or bulk copy cases you might have to access the iPhoto Library directly and copy from there instead.
To open this iPhoto Library "package", right or control click on it and "Show package contents"
Be sure to only duplicate and move original files out and don't mess around there as it will them mess up your iPhoto Library.

How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync with BMW car's COMBOX

My recently purchased Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync works very well with the PC and TV. I bought it to connect to my BMW car's COMBOX interface which is designed to connect to Apple products.
It doesn't even power up and BMW fails to recognize iPod, same combox works well with the original usb sync cable which came with the iPod but that doesn't have AV out so can't play music and video to the head unit. I think this could be due to low power coming from the car's USB, am I right to think this? If yes what options have I got to fix this? Can I supply additional power to iPod?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm afraid that's to be expected in most cases, you need to turn your TV speakers off.

I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the Find iPhone App, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad on this app?

If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the "Find iPhone" app, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad from my iPhone by using this app?

iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

After you Restore from backup, sync the iPhone.
