[QUOTE="himmelstorte, post: 1351594, member: 232155"] Maybe try not keeping your photos in iPhoto? I've heard that iPhoto takes relatively pretty much space. Instead, I personally like keeping my photos in a folder, just with Finder. To do so you can right-click on a photo, and choose [I]"Show File"[/I]. This will take you into the iPhoto library in Finder and from there on it's pretty easy and obvious how to find the rest of your photos (if not do the same thing for others). Now you can just drag the files somewhere into a folder. Of course this is no option if you want to continue using the features of iPhoto (e.g. it's editors or face recognition etc.) You could also just get rid of photos on your system you don't need every time of the day with you, and instead keep them on an external hard-disk. This is pretty obvious advice though. Edit: if you have applications you don't use you can delete them easily and completely (including preferences files etc.) with [URL="http://appzapper.com/"]AppZapper[/URL]. [B]Note: I don't know for sure if it takes less space, but I've heard so, and it doesn't hurt to try, does it? For me though it works pretty well.[/B] [/QUOTE]
