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.

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.

HT201317 if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices. You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space. However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently). If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space. If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.

I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

You would lose photo stream photos older than 30 days from your my photo stream folder. Tto keep them save them to the camera roll first. To do this in iOS 7, open your my photo stream alburm, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the lower left, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
The photo streams from others should reappear when you turn it back on. Worst case, the owners of the shared photo streams would have to re-invite you.

MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.

You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window:
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

Treo 755p The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved

After having the Treo 755p device for only a week, I am receiving a message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved." I have over 55 mb of free space according to the device info page. I cannot find anything about this in the knowledge library, can anyone offer help?

My problems are similar to Lauren, but backwards. For months now I have had problems with my Treo 755 reseting randomly. Sometimes during calls, sometimes while typing, sometimes while just sitting in the holster. As many as a dozen a day and then not at all for 2 weeks, no rhyme nor reason. This Free Space error though is brand new to me today and quite strange. The error is showing up when I bring my phone out of "sleep". I press the end button to sleep the phone and everything is fine. When I press it again to wake the phone up the error is sitting behind the keylock waiting for me.
Obviously I have done nothing yet for this new memory error, but I've tried everything for the reseting. Deleting software, Soft and hard resets, software updates, everything I and Sprint support can think of. With this new Free space error now I am going to just take it to a service center and demand a new phone. I think there is some kind of hardware error as I have done nothing in the programming. No new programs, no deleted programs, no changed settings.
I loved my Treo 650 and never had any problems with it. I am getting very disappointed in Palm now though with these ridiculous problems.

Android: please check if there is enough space on the device

I have successfully deployed a game to the iOS App Store using Flash CS5.5
When I try to publish the same game on my 2 Androids (or when I start an Air for Android file from scratch), I get this error message: "Device Error: please check if there is enough space on the device" on both of them.
First I was trying to install it on a Optimus One, which later I figured out would not run AIR/Flash applications because of the uncompatible ARMv6 processor.
I exchanged my phone to a Galaxy S, which shows on adobe's site as a certified device to run AIR applications.
Since the second phone is definitely not a problem, I must be doing something wrong.
I have followed video tutorials step by step and I still get this error.
I have installed the drivers through Samsung Kies.
I have air installed on my android.
I have developer debug set to on (I noticed that when I do that, I can no longer copy files to my android through the USB. The device loses its access on windows file manager, could this be the problem?)
Hope someone can help.

Paanday, first make sure your Android has adobe air installed on it. Open the android market on your phone and search for it. If you can't find/install it, it means your phone is not compatible and will not run flash content that was exported as an .apk file.
Your phone needs this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.air&feature=search_result installed.
Also, don't you need Android version 2.2 at least? I could be wrong about this.
And third, like I said, I fixed that issue by recreating my android certificate.

Insufficient space on the device

I recently purchased an ExciteGo AT7-c tablet, which runs the Android 4.4.2 os, and I keep having the same problem over and over. Everytime I try to download a new app, it tells me that there is insufficient space on the device, and it won't download. I currently have 412MB available, and it won't even let me download an 8MB app. I have tried several apps of varying sizes but none of them will download. This is my first tablet, and I'm quickly becoming frustrated. Sometimes I get an error message 906 code, or something like that. Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how it can be corrected? I'd hate to have to do a factory reset and lose all my stuff. I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter. Thank you.

Turn off your phone.
Hold power - and volume up I believe It might be down.
From there you can select recovery and then hold vilume up and tap power to open the menu.
There should be an option there to clear system cache.

HT1751 I've read at least ten articles and I still have some unanswered questions. 1. How do you get several libraries on an external disk back into one spot on Itunes? Will it take up space on the Mac osx that I have very little space on?

I have several itunes libraries after moving them and losing them, and recreating new ones. How do I get them all back together? I have a Macboook Pro OSX 10.6. My newest library is currently being directed to an external drive. I have files that I moved around improperly and don't know where they all go now. I'm pretty good with it all if someone can explain. Nothing I've read explains how to find your lost libraries on an external drive and put them into one place.
If you have it on an external drive and do not have the space on the hard drive can you still do the library/organize/consolidate feature and have files available without the external drive attatched? I just don't know how I will get all the files into itunes without taking up a bunch of space.
Thank you so much!

I'm confused as to why you would need or even want multiple iTunes libraries... but that's not really relevant.
It certainly is possible to have the iTunes library reside entirely on an external drive.
The organize/consolidate feature will work with an external drive but the drive must be connected. How would you expect this to work without the drive connected? iTunes cannot magically move files to consolodate them on a drive that's not connected.
I"m not really certain what you mean by "get them all back together". iTunes libraries are not "together". If you've got multiple libraries they are seperate...there is simply no other way to make that happen.
Realistically, if this hasn't helped, it's going to be up to you to explain why you have/need multiple iTunes libaries so that we can offer specific details on how to resolve the issue and possibly a better solution.

After downloading photos from a camera, and deleting them from the device, "iPhoto Quit Unexpectedly", photos were deleted from camera

Does anyone have any suggestions to find these photos? Can't believe they were deleted from camera, but are not in "Last Import".

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Also what is the size of the newest apple tv's hard drive? And, will my current apple tv be able to use the icloud services?

I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Netflix does not show on the internet tab on the AppleTV display.
Will my current appletv connect to icloud services, synch, etc.?
Also, what is the size of the current appleTV's hard drive?

1. No to NetFlix and ATV1
2. If you mean your ATV1, no.
3. If you mean your ATV1, there are more than one hard drive size. If you mean the new ATV2, it doesn't have a hard drive.

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.

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.

Music takes up space on the iPod, but can't be found

I bought a new 60GB iPod on Saturday. On Sunday I got it working fine with my PC. I was listening to it in bed.
On Monday morning, the iPod looked normal, but I could noot find any songs on it.
I tried to resync, and got a range of error messages.
I have followed the advice here and on the Apple site, so I now have reinstalled iPod and iTunes. But I still have one problem left.
When I connect to iTunes, the iPod is automatically updated. I then get the message OK to disconnect and the iPod screen shows its home menu. But when I search through the iPod, nothing is there. iTunes shows a list of items on the iPod, in grey text. Both iTunes and iPod are repoprting 53.3GB free, but the iPod is also showing 0 ssongs, 0 videos and 0 photos.
When I view the iPod in Explorer, the music folders appear. I can even play the files from those folders in iTunes. It might give an error message, but it still works.
I've tried switching the iPod from disk mode, but that doesn't seem to work. In fact, now I am looking at the iPod in iTunes, it does not appear in Windows Explorer, so that seems a safe bet that it is not in disk mode.
I then ejected the iPod from iTunes. When I reconnected the iPod, it appeared as a disk in Explorer. However, iTunes now shows the error "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "x". Use the iPod Updater to restore the iPod to factory settings." and it disconnects from Explorer as well.
I closed iTunes, reconnected the iPod and it now appears in Explorer, iTunes opens and gives the chkdsk and the iPod Updater error messages.
What should I try now? (I haven't tried formatting or chkdsk.)
PC Windows XP Pro 1GB RAM

I spend almost two hours on the phone to AppleCare people this morning. It was a very strange problem indeed and isn't resolved for sure just yet. The iPod was just refusing to get out of Disk Mode, which is quite strange.
Here's some extra steps that might help anyone else.
1. I was able to use the Mac version of the iPod Updater and iTunes worked fine on my old iMac. The iPod snapped out of Disk Mode after the Update and kept working after iTunes. Like normal. So that suggests that that iPod itself was not completely broken.
HINT: Have a Mac lying around when you have trouble with your Windows format iPod.
2. You can format a FAT32 device with OSX Tiger, even over the stupid 32GB limit that Windows XP and 2000 imposes. (FAT32 is good for 4TB, according to the spec.)
Open Disk Utility.
Close iTunes. (You may have to use Activity Monitor to kill the iTunes process.)
Select "55.9GB Apple iPod Media" or similar. Select Erase and choose the Volume Format "MS-DOS File System".
3. To really clean the iPod, format with OSX as above, but choose the Erase Free Space... option to write zeros to the disk. A normal format (twice) didn't really help me, so I'm trying something more drastic that AppleCare suggested.
4. (Untested by me) Or use Windows XP to format the iPod as NTFS. Then use iPod Updater to restore, which will reformat the iPod file system to FAT32, (I've got my doubts about that method. YMMV)
5. Really uninstall Windows iTunes, iPod Updater and QuickTime. After a restart, run Windows Install Clean Up to remove any installer files for those three applications that might be hanging around. See Microsoft knowledge base 290301 for instructions and download of the Clean Up utility. (It didn't find any stary installer files on my PC.)
6. Download and reinstall iTunes with QuickTime and iPod Updater. (I'd already done this once during the week, but I thought I might as well make sure, right?)
Next Steps:
Once I've finished writing the zeros (only 10 hours to go!) I will eject from the iMac and try updating and syncing to iTunes in Windows.
Could I use the iMac as my media centre? Not really. It is old and slow and has a small HDD. I could network the iTunes folder onto my big PC...? The big downer is the lack of FireWire support for these new iPods, so I'm stuck with USB1.1 on the iMac. Too slow.

Is it possible to play music from my external hard drive on my ultrabook? I don't want to take up space in the internal drive.

I recently bought an ultrabook (windows) and transferred all of my music (from itunes) onto an external hard-drive. I don't want to transfer all the music onto my new laptop because that would take up too much space. So is it possible for me to add new music or log on to home share by using my external drive plugged into my new ultrabook? How do I play music through my computer using music held on the itunes in my external drive?
I've been trying to figure this out for a long time now.
thank you so much!
