Remove safely from the Mac Photos

My girlfriend has an MBA is a full ballot (less than 2 GB).

It seems that the culprit is Photos, hogging nearly 30% of its 128 GB drive. She never use the application ever (even if she continues to use iCloud for save all photos of his phone).

I disabled iCloud shares of Photo Library/photos/photo stream inside the Photos app, assuming it would just remove them. But it seems that they are all registered locally.

If they are stored in iCloud and I have the options disabled synchronization, can I delete the contents of Photos.app? I want to avoid is its registration in one day, noting that they are all missing, then just before wiping them on his iCloud account.

Don't know what you have

iCloud has many services

You can back up your iPhone to iCLoud

You cannot back up your photo library to iCloud

If she never uses the Photos app and you're 300% positive she has no photos she wants in the photo library, you can delete the photo library and empty the trash (there is not cancel for it except your backup - which will ensure that pictures is not part of the question - then if is not resolved post in the right forum for the question - probably the iCloud forum)

    When you have a USB drive connected and turned on, there will be a USB plug with a green show check ICON on your taskbar clock and stuff.

    Click on it and select the device you want to eject.

  • Remove malware from the iPhone 6

    Hello

    I own an iPhone 6. I have whatsapp on it. Someone sent me a video through whatsapp and I clicked it. However, I fear that there might be malicious software that I do not trust the source who sent me the video and I opened it by mistake. Is there anyway to detect malicious software or remove it from the IPhone 6 without having to reset to factory settings? What is the best way to secure all my data and passwords on my phone? The software was not updated when the incident occurred. I have updated to the latest iOS a few days later.

    Also, I have an iPad that has the same applications and passwords for my iPhone. Is it possible that the malware would be transmitted to my iPad when I'm online? I also have a Mac book. Is my Apple ID even course or should I change it?

    Thank you in advance.

  • How to remove movies from the summary page

    With the help of iTunes version 12.4.  Can anyone help in my attempts to remove movies at home summary page in iTunes?  I was able to remove movies from my iPhone and iPad and unchecked on the summary in the movies tab page.  However, films controlled and deleted still appear in the section summary of movies.  Cannot find a delete any action to remove unwanted movies.  This has to do with the deletion in iTunes itself on a Windows version 10.

    Steve

    FOUND THE ANSWER!  From a previous post-, I had the same problem. You cannot remove them from the summary page. Cannot you.

    In the app iTunes on Mac or PC, without your phone, from the drop-down menu at the top left - select movies and then click on, select, Home Videos. In the next screen, select the home theater and right click. This will allow you to remove. Once you reconnect your phone and sync, the cinema will be gone from your Summary Page!

  • Remove movies from the hard drive on Macbook Air 2015

    Hello!

    I have several movies I have on my iTunes account.

    So I don't think that they would be automatically downloaded on my hard drive. I just thought that it would be similar to the Iphone you might access via WIFI but not necessarily have downloaded to your device. I'm looking for how to remove movies from your mac on other forms. None of them have asked me.

    Go to iTunes movie right click and delete it. empty the trash, restart the computer. Well by clicking on remove fair skins film of your iTunes purchases and don't take them to the reader. I still only 40 GB to 128 GB storage after the 'removal' of movies.

    They suggested also go to the finder and on the left side of the screen would be a zone of movies. No, it isn't. There's nothing to the media either.

    I'm lost and completely new for the Mac.

    Help...

    Shauna

    The movies have been downloaded via iTunes? Have you looked in the folder/Home/movies/on your computer? You can also check the folder/Home/music/and the other files in this folder to find the files downloaded.

    If you can find the films listed in iTunes, then select them and CTRL - or RIGHT click to select Remove from the context menu. We should ask if you want to move to the trash. Click on this option.
