Wifi sync causes photos to take more space

I've noticed that in iTunes 10.5.3 if I check the box to allow Wifi Sync my photos go from taking 2.1GB to 2.9GB. I can't imagine why this would be, and I have not activated this option to confirm this would be the case (I cannot spare the extra 800MB right now).
Has anyone else seen this? Can someone check/uncheck the box without applying and confirm for me this is not an isolated issue?
Thanks in advance.

Tried that and it wont work. I have my iphone connected to the computer and went to computer-->apple iphone-->DCIM and tried to delete the folders and the error keeps saying "could not be deleted the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" but my phone is connected...

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

  • How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

    How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

    Hello there, Shrid.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
    Additional Information
    Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
    Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    Email them from the device to yourself.
    Copy them from the emails to your computer.
    On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Does photo stream take up space on my iPod?

    does photo stream take up space on my iPod?

    They may if you delete the photos from your Camera Roll album but leave them in your PhotosStream album.
    Otherwise not. There is only one copy of the photos on the iPod but you can access it either from your Camera Roll or PhotoStream albums.

  • Problem Export to Excel it takes long time and Takes more space.

    Hello All,
    when we export to Excel in portal(reports), it takes long time and it takes more space.
    how to overcome this problem please any one knows provide the proper solution for this issues
    Regards,
    Ch.

    Hi Chetans,
    I have had the same problem, and I had to create a OSS message to SAP in order to solve this issue, until now I don't have an answer. They made me to change a lot of configuration in Java and BW without luck. To tell you more, when we try to export to excel the java instance restarts aumotatically.
    But we have this problem, when we try to export a huge quantity of data, so I found a note which says the limitation of exporting to excel. Take a special attention to the Performance section.
    Note 1178857
    [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178857]
    I recomend you that you create a message to SAP. If you find a solution, please let me know.

  • Will photos in Photo Stream take up space in the device?

    This is somewhat of an awkward comment but I have been hearing complaints about not being able to delete photos in Photo Stream, and althoguh I am aware photos in Photo Stream are in the Cloud, would they take any space in the device's hard drive? Just to confirm, thanks.

    Yes, images in Photo Stream do use device storage. You might wish to consider downloading them on a computer (assuming that is an option) or using a cloud service such as Box or DropBox to back them up. In any event, if these images are important to you, you do need to move them to a permanent storage option.

  • Will a photo take more space

    if located in events and then in two or more albums in iPhoto? I want to organize photos as I have been getting a message that the startup disc is full.

    How much free space do you have on your startup disk? It's recommended that a miminum of 10 GB be kept free for optimal system and application performance.
    If you're getting very low in disk space you could get to a point where your Air will freeze or crash and not reboot. 
    It's important that you free up space on your Air immediately. One option is to get an external hard drive and move your library to it to run.
    A smaller, "travelin'  library can be kept on the Air with those more recent or needed photos in it.  Photos can be copied between libraries with the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager by Event or Album.

  • IPhoto library takes more space than the actual data that is in it.

    Why is iPhoto Library taking almost 10 GB more than the real data i have in it ?

    I have the original photos in a folder and it takes 10.7 GB of space in my hard drive, but when I get info from the iPhoto library its taking 17.9 GB of space
    Do you have two copies of the photos on the HD? Why?
    I have read that every single move I do in iPhoto it makes a copy of the file for backup no matter how big the photo is, even if you just rotate the picture,
    When you edit a pic - including Rotation - iPhoto makes a copy of the Original and carries out the edit on that copy and saves it. However, if you then make another edit it does not make a second copy, it simply destroys the first copy and applies the total edits to a new copy. So there is never more than your Original and a single Modified version of your pics.
    that’s just taking so much space I need is there any way to make iPhoto stop doing that?
    No. If you don't want that, simply don't use iPhoto. IPhoto is a Digital Asset Manager and it coheres to the best practices of DAM by treating your original file like a film photographer protects his negative.
    Also when look in the finder and search for every file I have used during the day, if I had just open iPhoto once it will apper a lot of this files called like Album.999001.ipmeta that are from iphot. If I haven used it just opened it why is it showing that ?
    This is just the way that iPhoto works. These ipmeta files are tiny 4kb files. They take up the smallest amount of disk space possible.

  • Must shared photo streams take up space on our Macs?

    I understand we get these nice Albums that can be synced across all our devices, that live in iCloud, and whose space is somehow magically managed so they don't hog our iPhones and iPads (right?).
    But they do get downloaded to iPhoto and Aperture. So if we have a small MacBook Air or even a newest 15" Retina MBP with 256 GB SSD, space is going to matter.
    Any thoughts of enlightenment? Ideas how this is best managed?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When someone shares a photo stream with me and I join it, does it take up memory on my iPhone?
    Yes.
    Also, if I have a photo stream that I have shared are those photos taking double the amount of space since they are in my camera roll and shared photo stream?
    Not double exactly, photo stream photos synced to mobile devices are synced at lower resolution than the original, but yes the photo is stored twice.

  • My songs take more space than they would normally do

    Hello
    I have Exactly 677 songs on my iPad, and everything is ok. But recently, ive noticed that those songs take a little more than 5 GB! Ive read articles and they say that 700 songs take 2 GB, and i dont even have those 700. And they take up to 5 GB! Is there something wrong? How can i fix it?
    Thanks

    The file size depends on the format, bit rate, number of channel and method of compression. You cannot measure it's size by the number of songs.

  • What exactly it the difference between iTunes Wifi-Sync and iCloud Backup?

    Okay, i do not yet have a mac, only an iPod touch, but am (hopefully) buying a mac soon (MacBook Pro to be specific). I buy all my music etc on my iPod, and am currently use iCloud sync which i have all the buttons in the ON position. Anyway, i am rather confused after reading alot about the two methods of syncing there exact differences. When i get my mac can i use both- for reasurance or do i have to choose one? Also, does iTunes wifi sync my photos and videos (thats photos ive taken and videos ive made/filmed) and does iCloud do this. Also if i use both photostream and iCloud/iTunes for my photos, will that create double ups of all my photos?
    Thanks

    Wi-Fi sync works in the same way as syncing over a USB cable, albeit more slowly, and can be used when your iTunes library can see your device on your local network.
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    iCloud backup saves the settings and documents from your apps to the cloud instead of your own computer. It seems you either backup to your computer or to iCloud, but not both, at least not on a regular basis. You may still be able to trigger a local backup manually when using iCloud for backup.
    iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    Photostream operates independently of either of the previous features to move your pictures to your computer and other iOS devices when in range of any working Wi-Fi connection.

  • My Mac mini won't recognize photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space.

    My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks

    The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

  • "Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

    Hello all,
    I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
    I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
    I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
    Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
    Help, please!

    iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

  • Can I exclude photos on my iPhone from being sent to iCloud and how?  My goal is to only sync my calendar to the iCloud and exclude everything else.  This way I don't have to pay for more space.

    My goal is to only sync my calendar to iCloud and exclude everything else.  This way I don't have to pay for more space.

    Hey Murphie,
    I don't pay for more space and I'm backing up two devices to iCloud, a 32G ipad and a 16G phone.
    However, you can merely chose NOT to backup to iCloud. Then you won't run out of space. Items synced to iCloud do not take up your backup space.
    Now, you WILL have to back up to your computer via iTunes the old fashioned way, or risk losing valuable data. Your choice.
    However, if you manage your data responsibility, you won't run out of your 5G of storage on your iCloud backup from normal use.
    Good luck

  • HT204022 I have successfully saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone so that i can free up space and take more pictures.  How do I do this?

    I have saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC.  Now I want to delete them from my phone only to free up space and take more pictures and video.  How do I do this?

    You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon.  (There is no "select all" option.)
