Cannot view 90% of my photos in "iPhoto" for iOS

Key among my MANY gripes with this "iPhoto" for iOS is that I cannot use it to edit photos unless they are in the camera roll or in an event or album. Crucially in the list of photos around 90% of the photos on my iPad are missing. This is because they are synced onto it from the REAL iPhoto for mac using the faces / places features. The iOS atrocity doesn't see them whatsoever.
This is NOT iPhoto. Why couldn't you have called it iPicEffects and not sullied the wonderful Mac app with this awful, gimmicky, unintuitive excuse for an app.
Please fix it, pull it or at least promise to not ruin the Mac version. Please.

when you upgrade iPhoto you do not import anything - you launch the new version and it upgrades the library
the best solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before you did the import (or what ever you did which is not clear), verify it is in your pictures folder and launch iPhoto

  • How can I delete an event on an Ipad2, PHOTOS or Iphoto for IOS?

    How can I delete a photo event on an IPAD2 using either PHOTOS or IPHOTO for IOS?
    Thanks

    If the event is a synced event from iPhoto on your Mac, you have to deselect the event in iTunes while the iPad is connected to the Mac and with iTunes running and then sync - in order to remove the event from the photos app.
    Synced photos cannot be deleted directly on the device. You must unsync the photos using iTunes on your computer.

  • How do I organize photos in iPhoto for ios

    I am confused because there is a category for organizing photos here and in the iPhoto for iOS tutorial, but I cannot find any functionality for organizing photos into events and albums in the software. Am I missing something?  Does anyone know how to do this with the iPad short of making a new album every time in photos?  Most of the time I would like to add photos to existing albums and events rather than creating new ones.

    At the moment I cannot see a way to do it in 'iPhoto' you have to do it in the 'Photos' app.  My workflow is to organize in 'Photos' and use 'iPhoto' for editing.  Hopefully future versions will make this much easier.

  • How do I exclude photos from iPhoto for iOS

    I have iPhoto for iOS but unfortunately I can't find a way to exclude the photos I don't want anymore. Do you know how do I do it?

    Do you mean, you want to delete certain photos from your iPhoto Library on your IOS device?
    Photos that have been synced to iPhoto need to be removed on the device you are syncing from, then sync again. Photos that you imported from mail or the camera roll can be deleted using the menu:
    See this manual page: Delete photos and this thread:
    Re: How can I delete photos in iPhoto on my iPad2?
    If you edited a photo you need to revert the edits, before you can remove it. Otherwise it will stay in the "Edited" album.

  • Photos blurry in iPhoto for iOS!!!

    I just noticed something... I have in the past edited several photos in iPhoto for iOS (changed saturation and stuff), and looking back at them now I have realised that when I pressed the button to view the original image, the original is much crisper and clearer! Why is the edited version a bit fuzzy and blurry? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

  • IPhoto for iOS removes the GPS exif data from the photo after an edit

    iPhoto for iOS removes the GPS exif data from the photo after an edit
    Using the iPhone camera, I take a photo and then I want to make the photo a little brighter.
    So, I edit a photo using iPhoto for iOS and then save the photo back to the camera roll.
    Now, I might want to see where that photo was taken via another app (like Photo Mapo) or on the map using the Photos app, or even the Mac iPhoto app.
    However, the GPS data has been removed. Looks like all of the other exif data is still in the photo.
    Why not just have a feature to remove the GPS data if the user wants? no reason to remove it for them.
    The user explictily chose to have location services turned on so the GPS data would be in the photo.
    Is this a bug?
    Thanks,
    Brian.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    None of my cameras has a GPS function so I never see that data in the info of a photo in iPhoto for iOS. But I do see the map choice to set a location for the photo. Perhaps a reboot will fix this for you.

  • How do I geotag photos in iPhoto for the iPhone?

    I decided to purchase the iPhoto app for my iPhone 4S after carefully reading through the description to make sure it could do most of what I wanted. Most importantly a statement in the description said I could add location data, comments & even the weather by simply swiping across a photo. On that basis, I purchased the app. After a couple of hours of playing with it, I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? Swiping just scrolls to the next photo. If I look under the info tab for the option to geotag, it's not there. I checked out the app help and curiously there is no mention of geotagging a photo anywhere. Was I led astray or am I just doing something wrong?

    You may be misunderstanding the capabiities.  The location info is added to the EXIF data of a photo as it is taken (at least that's how it works with the iPhone).  This is an optional feature for your photos, and you can turn it on by going to Settings, Location Services, and turning the service ON for the camera.  Now, once you take a photo, the GPS data will be associated with it. 
    Next, if you open that photo in Photos or iPhoto on your device, the GPS data tagged on the photos will show up on a little map in the Places view.
    Stated another way, I don't think there is a way in iPhoto for iOS to tag your photos after you take them.  However, if you use your iPhone camera and have Location Services turned on, you should get GPS data added to each photo without any further work on your part.

  • How to search photos by title and or keywords on iPhoto for iOS

    Maybe I'm not I'm not seeing things wright but I can't find any possibilitie to search photos by name, title, keyword with iPhoto (1.0.1) on my iPad 2 (5.1.1)
    How can I Search? I don't want to beleive that's not possible...
    Miguel

    Rob,
    as Frank Caggiano said. There is not really any Apple-provided application on the iPad that will support a full-fledged photo database like the Mac-versions of Aperture or iPhoto. Even the IOS app iPhoto is nothing like the Mac version of iPhoto. The iPad version is not a photo database but a tool for editing, sharing, and viewing photos - the iPhoto Help is saying:
    With iPhoto for iOS, you have everything you need to view, edit, and share your photos on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (with iOS 7).
    You can organize your photos in iPhoto IOS in a limited way by tagging them, so that they will apear in albums: What are albums?
    To tag them with flags or keywords see: Flag, tag, hide photos
    Considering the limited space on IOS devices, the designers probably did not expect anybody to try to store so many photos on an iPad that it would be necessary to search for them other than using the predefined Views (Moments, Places) in the Photos.app, or iPhoto's albums. And any library organization you are doing in the Photos.app or iPhoto will not sync back to your computer.

  • How do I move photos in iphoto for ipad from album to album ?

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

  • Why do videos show up in photos and why can't i export them from iPhoto for iOS

    Somehow, I just don't get it:
    If I take a picture on my iPhone 5s, it is saved to 'Pictues' ... sound reasonable.
    If I take a video on the same device, it is saved to 'Pictures' ... that's where it gets messy.
    If I receive a video on an app like e.g. WhatsApp ... it also get's stored in ... guess what ... 'Pictures'!
    Now that's a little bit confusing.
    Generally I would like to keep these different types of media (still pictures vs. moving images) in separate spaces, but it seems like that is not possible out of the box, because if go ahead and tab on that share-button in iOS 7 i get prompted to share the videos to various installed apps like e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter - you name it.
    It seems like there is no way to export videos from 'Pictures' to 'Videos', even if you use iPhoto for iOS in the gap.
    The only ways (that I found) to get what I want are way to circumstantial:
    Either use iPhoto for the Mac to import videos from the iCloud Photostream to the Mac and from there via "Show in Finder" re-import to iTunes' 'Videos'
    or use iExplorer (a third party application for the Mac) and export the videos from the iPhone to a temp-folder and from there re-import with iTunes to 'Videos'.
    Why isn't there just a simple share-sheet or export label called 'Export to Videos'.
    Why doesn't it just work?
    Am I missing out on something?
    Is there an easier way to complete this relatively simple task?
    Hints and support are very much appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Chris

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.

  • How to delete pix/albums in iPhoto for iOS.?

    I created two Journals in iPhoto for iOS.
    When uploading to the iCloud I constantly run into "Storage almost full" problems. I have already deleted many apps to create space, but iPhoto seems to consistently grow in size (iPad > Settings>General> Usage: 6.8GB for iPhoto), worse yet, when publishing the Journals which are on the iPad it seems that additional space is needed for the publishing process.
    I did NOT find a way to delete either Pictures or Albums in the iPhoto for iOS app, nor do I find a way to delete Photos and Camera in Settings, nor (individual or a range of) Photos or Albums in the Photos app. In the Photos tab of the Photos app there is a red Delete button, but this is greyed out; in the Albums tab this Delete button does not appear at all.
    Any advice/suggestion/pointer would be highly appreciated. Thanks and cheers from Austria.

    See this:
    iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto
    Basically, you have to delete the photos the same way you got them onto the iPad in the first place.
    In the Photos.app, you should be able to delete photos in the camera roll and in the events that have been uploaded using the camera connection kit, but no other.
    Any synced photo can only be deleted by syncing again.
    For Photos that have been edited, you need to undo all edits, before you can delete them, otherwise the delete button will not be active.
    Albums created by tagging cannot be deleted, they are created automatic. You delete these albums by removing the tags from the photos. Then the album will vanish.

  • Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?

    Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
    This app offered great features such as the ability to format your pictures and journal and, add comments and context.
    It's disappointing to be forced to migrate away especially when this is a paid app ($4.99). Many other companies may stop supporting paid apps, but at least you can still use the apps.

    Apple did not say why, so we can only speculate.
    But have a look at what has changed in iOS 8. http://www.apple.com/ios/developer/
    The basic frameworks, that support image editing apps and any graphics apps have been completely replaced by newer frameworks, for example PhotoKit. Also, the Photos.app and its library are very different, with the Camera Roll being replaced by the "Recent Activity" album.
    iPhoto used "Photos" to access all photos on the device and did not them separately. The code would have needed to be completely rewritten. Probably, Apple did not want to develop iPhoto a second time, in addition to the new "Photos", but is relying on the third party developers to supplement Photos with extensions:
    PhotoKit
    Developers can enable their photo apps to edit photos directly in the Camera Roll without having to import them first.
    Photo Editing
    Developers can embed their filters and editing tools directly into the Photos app. So you could apply third‑party effects to images without leaving the app where you view your photos.

  • Change Event Name in iPhoto for iOS

    I've bought in to Apple's promise of the "PC free" lifestyle with an iPad and the camera connectivity kit. A major problem is the fact that you couldn't manage events on the iPad with the standard "Photos" app.
    With the new "iPhoto for iOS", will I finally be able to restore organization to my library? I would love it if I could simply name events and perhaps do a little split/merge here and there.
    Thanks for your help,
    Mitch

    I agree. I bought the camera connect kit and was disappointed that I couldn't rename the events at all.
