Can I remove photos from photos on the hard drive of my macbook, but keep them in iCloud?

I just used icloud to "backup" 80 GB of photos that are on the hard drive of my macbook. I'm now able to remove them from my macbook without losing them on iCloud?

All advice appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple community.

With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • How to remove Lightroom edition to connect the hard drive

    I made a big mistake when you create the publication connection in my new Lightroom application. I didn't know it was a connection forever and I gave specific names to the collection that I wanted to publish on my hard drive. I found how I can change the Publishing Service and change EVERYTHING except the location of export files. I would change the subfolder. I read it says that the subfolder is not editable once the connection is created, but I thought that the connection has been updated every time that you started a new session of Lightroom).

    Is it possible to remove this connection edition?

    Hi car convertible,

    You need to right click on the hard drive under Control Panel Services to publish and choose 'Remove the Service to publish'

    Kind regards

    I edit my photo, then export it to the hard drive as a JPEG. When I open my folder on the hard drive and you want to zoom in the clarity isn't here. It looks like a bunch of pixels. Am I missing a step in my savings and jpeg conversion process in Lightroom?

  • How to clean the hard drive on a Macbook.

    Hi there Apple community support.

    I am trying to clean my internal hard drive. Lately my Macbook has been telling me that my startup disk is almost full, so I was passing by and clean all my files on the hard drive. Also, when I looked at the "about this mac" window to see what was on the hard drive, he told me there were about 50 GB of apps and about 50 GB of movies, this seemed a bit strange that I have not a lot of other apps on my Macbook apart from those he came with, and I also deleted a large number of films I've had. So basically I don't see why my boot drive is full after I deleted a lot of things out of it.

    Thank you

    Morgan

  • Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

    I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

    My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

    I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

    If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.

  • Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

    I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

    I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

    You do all this in the Finder?

    Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

    If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

    Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

    Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

    P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

  • What can I put the RAM and the hard drive of a Macbook Pro 13 "2014 in a Macbook Pro 13" 2016?

    The main logic of my Macbook Pro 13 "2014 card is broken, and it turns out that it will be much easier and just slightly more expensive, buying a new Macbook Pro that, in order to replace. I would like to set up my new Macbook Pro 13 "online in a way such that it is as cheap as possible, while always respecting the level of my former. So, if I could order one with the minimum of RAM and disk space hard and then put these pieces of my old in the new, this would be ideal. I don't know so much about it, and the question is: is it possible?

    As mentioned above, this is a new system, but with a more older IDE hard drive with windows xp pack 2 service (I think). When you first start, it says that windows is not stopped correctly and asks me to choose whether to start it normally or without failure or last known working configuration. When I choose to start windows normally, it will load up to a point. The screen of Windows Xp will come with the slide bar. It will then restart. When I choose to start in safe mode, a bunch of 32 file system scrolls upwards on the screen. I don't remember if it of normal or not. He takes over in SafeMode but.

    I did find something online that contains all the system boot or start specific drivers. Windows and harddrive was working in another computer just before he was switched. Let me know if you need other information.

    Thank you.

    First of all you are missing probably a number of device drivers, particularly the network card driver and the driver of the motherboard.  Use your XP disk to perform a repair installation.  This should go a long way toward you're going to get.  If your new box has a driver disc that should help a lot.  You can't port XP perfectly the way you did.   It usually requires a repair installation to fix the hardware abstraction layer.

    Start the program and click the Connect tab uncheck the entries that you do not want to start.

    Not uncheck anything that you are not sure you know what it is. Your computer may not work correctly or may not even start.

    You can also look at the options of programs that start automatically. It may be possible to disable them.

    Look in the startup folder in the start all programs Menu. Right click and delete any entries that you don't want.

  • How can I remove focus from and to the bottom?

    I have a second 30 short interview, where my topic is developed pretty good most of the time, but because of what I guess was the auto focus, the background comes in and out update quick to flare as it tries to focus it. I was wondering if there was advice on how to stabilize the background maybe? I tried stabilizing chain (even if it is regular and tripod shooting), but any other ideas?

    It is difficult simply because the bottom is stationary, but there some words on what you can easily change... In addition, advice on how to avoid this problem in the future? Thank you

    You have most likely diagnosed the problem correctly, it is hard to know without seeing the video.

    Since it is a locking (from your description), you might take a freeze frame of the image when the background is blurry, place it on the V1 (maybe even add more Gaussian Blur) and then hide in the only show the interviewee on V2. You can't solve an out of the interviewed focus, but you can keep the background blur.

    Real shooters still use manual focus. They can use auto to help set the focus but then switch to manual for the recorded shooting and grids manually if necessary.

  • How can I prevent users from access to my hard drive from backup to the enclosed address?

    I have a HD attached used only for backup. When I change the guest user attached the HD content is accessible. I tried to change the permissions for the disk 'all', using the information, 'no access' window (without blocking) that seemed to make the case, but a quick search gave terrible warnings about changing permissions, so I came back to the unsatisfactory "read only". Change return 'each' to 'No access' would be a bad move.  If so what can restrict the guest access to the HD (besides of course the disconnection of the latter!) attached.

    You can encrypt the back upward, then it will be password protected.
