Two Updates

Last night I saw two updates. I did not have time to get disk space information with clean restart before the update. I recorded the disk space during my working session. The updates requires a reboot.

Here are snapshots of the updates:


Before reboot, I got this warning message about not disconnecting power cable:

How to Delete Photos from iCloud

I have enabled my photo streaming to iCloud. It just works. However, there is one very disappointed thing. You cannot delete individual photos in iCloud. I took some photos which are just fingers, I blocked my iPhone camera.

After googling, I found this web about reset all photos in iCloud photo streaming: how to delete photos from iCloud by Cult of Mac.  This article explains how to remove all photos in iCloud.

iCloud photo streaming is a very nice service. All the photos I have taken by my iPhone are available automatically in my iMac and AppleTV. However, people sometimes do make mistakes or they regret to take some photos. How come we cannot delete photos we own?

I see that many users are crying for this deleting individual photo feature. I guess this should not be too hard. Hope the next update vernon of iCloud will have this feature.
