How to reduce the storage of photos on MacBook Pro

My photos were 87 GB of space on my MacBook Pro. I tried to reduce the space used by deleting about 1000 photos, removed about 25 projects (books, cards, etc.) and 100 to 120 videos.

I deleted all the and emptied the Recycle Bin. After this cleaning, I still 87 GB of space used by my photos. What is the problem?  How can I reduce the space used by the pictures?

I deleted all the and emptied the Recycle Bin.

Hear you emptied the album "recently deleted", because the Photos for Mac is not a trash can?

Your photo library has been migrated from iPhoto or Aperture, and do you still have your original iPhoto or Aperture library on your Mac?  Then the storage for deleted photos only comes out, after you remove the same photos in the iPhoto library or the Aperture library as well.  When the photo is migration a library it saves space by linking to the photos in the Aperture library or iPhoto library. Photos photos and your original library share the same storage on your request of hard links. There are references to files in the system, and so that the file is used by a library storage is not released. See: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

If you still want to keep the original libraries, consider to move them to an external disk and remove them from your system disk.

  • How are they managing storage Flash on my Macbook Pro?

    Hello, I have storage problems with my macbook pro, simply because I miss. I went through and eliminated a lot of my videos and photos because that's mainly what I use this for, but my storage is full. How to clear up the flash storage?

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.)

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself. If you have followed the bad advice to disable snapshots the running a shell command, you may have ended up with a large amount of data in the other category. Ask for instructions in this case.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.

    IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • How to reduce the size of the records Quicktime file?

    Anyone know how to reduce the size of the file, or at least tell me why they use so much space? I have only 128 GB.

    A big thank you to you all, good people.

    I don't see that you can export out of other than QT. MOV

    but you can use an external converter

  • How to keep the order of photos in an album for a pound of apples

    How to maintain the order of photos in an album when moving pictures to create a notebook from Apple?    They are placed in the book of the order of date, but a lot of my photos are scanned and have nothing to do with the date of the photo.  I use version 1.3 of Photo with iOS 10.11.3. I have read the previous assignments and fail to follow the suggestions that they seem to have apply to older versions of picture (iPhoto).   Thank you

    Adjust the dates of your photos with "Image > setting Date and Time", as well as the date of the photos match the order desired.

    It was possible to select all the photos in an album in iPhoto 1.0 and then use ' file > Create book "and the pictures would be displayed in the book on the order that have been put in the book, but that does not work reliably.

    You can also start with a blank book and drag the photos of book one - by - one in the order of your choice.

    In other words, what I'm doing anyway.  I start with a blank book and add the photo I'm going from several albums. I create an album separate for each section and drag only the photos for the next pages of the book, so I can put it on the pages I want.

  • How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level

    Hello!

    How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level in ThinkPad T520?

    I think we can somehow, but I don't know how. I reduced the brightness to zero with the Fn button + button end, but this is not enough, I want to make the screen darker, because my eyes get tired.

    The last (from Lenovo) Intel graphics driver is here:
    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/MIGR-77038

    This should provide a decent lower limit on the brightness. If the installation complains about the non supported hardware, force the installation using the devices and Disk Manager. (Something like this: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/11997-have-disk-method-for-windows-7-vista/ )

    If this does not work, try f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/). It has a dimming function software (of course, he loses the contrast).
