Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

What happened to the thumbnail photo in an event? Previously all I had to do was to drag the thumbnail photo to a folder, now I need to drag each individual photo to that folder. If that means a few or several, it's a hassle. Any help for this one?

What happened to the thumbnail photos for an event? Previously when I wanted to transfer an event to a specific folder all I needed to do was drag the thumbnail. If there were multiple events, I only needed to pick the one I wanted and drag it. Simple and it worked very well. If there was an event with several, I only neede to drag the one thumbnail and it was done. Now I need to drag each individual photo to the new folder. Sometimes that could mean 10, 20 or more. Doing one at a time is can be a very slow process. If there are events that need to be split, it can be even slower. Any positive ideas will be greatly appreciated.

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

Photostream keeps your photos for download to other devices for 30 days, once they are gone, you can find them on other devices that you have enabled photostream to work with. So if you have Computer, and use photostream - they are in photostream folder in pictures or iphoto. If you didn't use computer, they are gone.

If I uninstall iPhotos to reinstall it, what happens to all my photos?

Nothing. The photos are in the library and uninstalling iPhotos should have no impact on the library.
Having said that a backup of the library is a good idea

HT4910 what happens if your icloud contacts are accidently deleted? How do you retrieve the data?

What happens if your icloud contacts are accidently deleted? How can I retrieve that data?

Everything that was on your classic should also have been in your library, and that backed up to another drive. If you manually managed the device, and it was the only location holding your playlists, and it has become corrupted, there really isn't much hope. See Corrupt iPod classic. There may be a chance to recover media stored on it if is isn't stored elsewhere.

What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen?

What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen? I updated to iOS 7.0 and nolonger have the slide show and music while in lock sreen. This was the most used feature of my iPad since I put it in a dock on my desk. Is there another way to do that.

I 100% agree with ski-doug!!!
I use iPad 50% of the time to play music and display photos for my customers!!!
I also have seen many a business display picture slideshows to their incoming customers without granting access to the device!
I realize many will save personal pictures to their iPads and thus they will not want easy acces to them, and they could block this feature in previous iOS.
Please, please, please Apple, DO NOT generalize and figure we are all the same!
Please reuturn this feature!
Sincerely...
Monteh!
PS It would be awesome if it could display all My Pics instead of just an album!

Without explaining what you have tried, it might be hard to answer your question. Providing a little more detail would probably be useful to those that want to help you.

ICloud photo stream problem

Hi all - I really need your help.
My iPhoto '11 was working just fine until I upgraded it to 9.4.3. I also just installed the recent system upgrade. Now I am having multiple problems. It seems to stem from Photo Stream. Activity Monitor shows that Photo Stream is using up gobs of CPU which is strange since it is supposed to not be working...
In iPhoto, under the preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is not enabled. If I check the box to turn it on, it just unchecks itself just as quickly. But in the system preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is set up just fine. Photo Stream is certainly not working. And it seem to be totally screwing up iPhoto. I have tried multiple iPhoto fix options (option alt fixes, restoring a backup library, uninstalling then reinstalling iPhoto) with no improvement.
I'm not sure if the problem is coming from iPhoto or iCloud Photo Stream problems. I am running OSX 10.8.4 on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Thank you so much!

Well Old Toad, I am stumped.
I double checked and logged out of iCloud in both user accounts and made sure that PS was not enabled on either library. Then I restarted the computer. I went back to my main user account (second account set up = non administrator account) and to my main iPhoto library, logged into iCloud, tried turing on PS = did not work.
If I do the exact same thing as above for a restore of a backup of my library = does not work.
If I do the exact same thing above but log in with my first account (not my main one but it is the admin account on the computer) and access the test library I created = PS works just fine with no problem.
It seems the problem with PS is limited to my primanry account (non-admin). Do you think the admin privaledges difference between the two accounts could be the problem...?
As always, I am thankful for your time and advice.

TS3989 iCloud, Photo Stream

I've tried all your suggestions here and my Photo Stream still doesn't work. I'm using iPhoto 11, I'v updated all my devices to the latest software versions on all my devices and it still doesn't work. I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet and I recently purchased an iPhone 5. What is the problem?

Well ... I can't get Photo Stream to turn on with iPhoto on my Mac.
From the various instructions from Markwmsn immediately above, I have, or have done the first six points:
* Device(s) on iOS5.1 or later
* Mac(s) on 10.7.3 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or later (10.8.2 and 9.4 for Shared Photo Streams).
* All device(s) and Mac(s) are signed in to the same iCloud account.
* On the iOS device(s), Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream is "On" (and Shared Photo Streams if desired)
* On the iOS device(s), Settings > Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream is "ON" (and Shared if desired)
* On the Mac(s), System Preferences > iCloud > Photo Stream is active
But when I try to do the next step ...
* On the Mac(s), iPhoto > Preferences > Photo Stream > Enable Photo Stream is checked.
... when I try to check the box for "Enable Photo Stream", I get an error message:
"Sign in to Photo Stream using iCloud. In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. Cancel / Continue."
BUT in the System Preferences, I AM ALREADY SIGNED INTO my iCloud account, and indeed it is working fine for all the other features (Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc.)

Aperture won't put edited photos in iCloud photo stream

I just tried uploading a large number of photos (~1700) from Aperture to an iCloud photo stream. About 1300 of them made it. All of the ones that did not had an adjustment badge in the lower right corner of their thumbnails. It seems that Aperture is not uploading any of my edited photos. I can't seem to find any information on the web (from Apple or otherwise) that addresses this problem. Has anyone else had it and (fingers crossed) know of a solution?

Unless it has changed (and with all the new stuff going one it might have) there is a limit in the number of images you can upload to the stream. See My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits
Sounds like you might be bumping up against that.
<edit>
For what it is worth I have never had any problems uploading edited images to a Stream. The Stream will not reject an image because it is edited.

Getting photos back from iCloud Photo Stream

I just thought I would put this here as a way to fix at least one issue with iCloud Photo Stream. This was on my iPhone 4.
My kid plugged my iPhone into my wife's computer. It basically put all her information and set up on to my phone. I finally got it all set back up, but none of my photos or videos from photo stream were showing up on my phone. Everything else came back over, mail and contacts, but the photos did not show up. Usage showed that 2.5 out of my 5G still being used so it looked like they are there somewhere, they just wouldn't sync.
This is how I fixed it. At least somewhat. As of this time my videos have not come back yet, but they were rather large and it may take a while. I will try to update later as to whether they come back or not. All the photos are back.
> I made sure that iCloud backup was ON, on the iPhone.
> Turned off Photo Stream sync. This warns you that it will "Delete all photos on your phone". Make sure you dont have anything you care about on the phone currently. If you do, I would backup and then come back. Click Delete.
> Turned Photo Stream back on.
> Restart iPhone and plug in so it will be charging and make sure you have a wifi connection.
It may be that you should restart the phone before turning Photo Stream back on, but I actually turned it back on and then restarted. Anyways, this fixed this particular issue I had. Follow at your own risk .
I still think its ridiculous that you cannot view photo stream photos on iCloud.com. I really can't see paying for this service with the lack of features and bugginess.

Are you sure about the videos thing? I have 2.6G used on my iCloud account. The only things being synced were Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find my iPhone. I only had 50 photos. There's no way that stuff takes 2.6G worth of storage space.
Secondly, I know all about backups. I do Apache webserver support for a very large university. But when something happens spur of the moment that you don't have control over, its very possible to lose stuff. I don't need to be quoted the manual. I was just trying to be helpful and share something that worked for me to get my photos back since there seem to be a large number of people with similar issues.
Frankly I find Apple's software to be extremely frustrating regarding iTunes and iOS. I have been in IT for 15 years and rarely have I found a software set that is so obtuse as iTunes and iOS. The error messages are NOT clear at all, the manual is equally muddy, and, for example in the case of a "Photo Stream" viewer in the iCloud.com, obvious features are COMPLETELY missing. I cannot imaging actually paying for iCloud with the lack of features it currently has. For as much money and time Apple spends on researching device user friendlyness, I do not understand why their software is so UNuserfriendly. I am NOT the only one with this opinion.

HT201077 iCloud Photo Stream on Windows no longer Streams

I have a Windows PC, and have used iCloud Photo Stream for a while. A few months ago, the streams just stopped appearing. I have logged out, then back into iCloud. I have changed the folders to be used for Photo Streams. But, no matter what I do, I can no longer get streaming on my Windows PC. The streaming between my iPhone and iPad works fine. I suspect that this tool place with a recent upgrade of either iTunes or iCloud, but this problem has been with me for six months or longer, and I would have expected others to have had the same problem (so that it could be fixed).

I think I have found the reason for our problems? Photo Stream will only upload photos with a "Date Taken" date higher than the date when you initialised or when you last reset your Photo Stream. So if you are trying to upload older photos it won't work, They should be fresh out of the oven to be Photo Streamed.
I have managed to Photo Stream older pictures by using windows to copy and remove all Properties and Personal Information then setting the Date Taken to todays date before mobing the photo into the Upload folder. Still, it seems a little hit and miss so there's probably something else being checked to validate photos can be Photo Streamed.
So iCloud will move photos between your Windows 7 machine and your iOS5 device but it's a little picky about which ones it will allow. If you can figure out what exactly are the parameters please do tell.

ICloud photo stream does not show all photos

I have 1000 photos is my photo stream, however on my Apple TV I just setup, I can only get 322 to show up in the iCloud Photo Stream. I've tried restoring and setting it up again, but I have the exact same numbers of photos.
Is there a reason I can only see 322 out of 1000 photos in my photo stream on the Apple TV?

I noticed the Apple TV was not displaying my photo stream after the update to 6.0. Here is what I did to get it to start displaying my photo stream again.
On your Apple TV go to Settings>iCloud
Click on iCloud Photo Settings
Turn off both the My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing options then turn them back on again
Select Photo Stream from the Settings menu and navigate to select the photo stream you want to use
Preview the slide show
I have about 400 images in the photo stream that I use to display on Apple TV and during the preview it took about two minutes before the images displayed.
Then I tested it in a normal setting where I have slide show starting after two minutes. The TV went to screensaver mode after two minutes and was black for about two minutes before the images appeared. Before the update the images would display shortly after the screensaver kicked on.
I hope this helps!

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)
