I previously had Albums in iCloud via iPhoto, now only my photostream shows up, where did my albums go??

Within the last few months I when I would click on iCloud in iPhoto the first screen would show folders for the photostream and then all my albums I had stored there including a folder full of videos of my children, now when I click on iCloud all that shows up is the photostream, where did my albums go??

You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed. When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
Hope this helps

sorry to hear that. You can try redownloading them from iTunes in the Cloud or from your purchased page:

I previously had an iPad 4 but have now got the Air. Everything was backed up to the cloud but my various photo albums do not contain all my photos. It just says downloading but it never happens.

I have just upgraded to the Air but am having trouble with my photos. Everything was backed up to the cloud before I set up the new iPad but many of my photo albums are empty or contain only one or two pictures and it says it is downloading but nothing happens. I upgraded from a 4. I have had all the iPads and have never had this problem before. Can anyone help please?

I sent a photo to the hide photo on iPhoto, where did it go?

I sent a photo from my iPhoto trash to the hide photo icon and now I cannot find it.
Where did it go?

You should not be able to hide a photo while it's in the iPhoto Trash bin. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

HT201272 I want to download a previously purchased album that had an "error" and isn't complete. I have an older Mac and don't have iCloud. Surely there is some way to get the music I paid for!

Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac. I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network. While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs.
There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline? Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

I'm attempting to sync several albums from itunes to iphoto. When select to sync all albums it copies over the previous recorded album. I tried to sync the Albums individually and the same thing happens. Any ideas on how to sync my albums?

I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel Add/Remove Program. When I tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copy of v6.0.

When I downloaded v6.0 again and tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copyof v6.0. However when I did reboot I get the same error message. I'm sort of stuck in a loop and can't figure out how I can re-install v6.0. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.

Please do the following.
Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.

I bought my macpro in NY but now I live in France. I want to order an album via IPHOTO and it cannot be delivered other than in US??? please I need help

I assume you mean 'Order an album via iTunes', not iPhoto.
If you live in France, I believe your account with Apple will need to show a French residential address and be supported by a credit card issued by a bank in France.
That means you will need to open a new account if these details are not part of your current account.
Incidentally, some albums in iTunes USA are not available in all countries due to licensing agreements etc.

HT5085 i had backed up my previous iphone to my icloud to then transfer to my new iphone and nothing has appeared.. what do i do?

I had backed up my previous IPhone to my ICloud and now i am trying to download it all to my new IPhone but there is no pictures,music or video on the new phone...What do i do?

Hello there, JamesCody518.
The following Knowledge Base article should provide helpful steps to determine a resolution for your issue:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Specifically:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past. Had to reset my email address

When I attempt to email a photo using iPhoto, a yellow triangle pops up with an exclamation point. No text, no instructions, and only option is to click OK. IWhat do I do? I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past, no problem. Had to reset my email address in preferences for some reason , and a request for iPhoto to share my photos or something came up and I just clicked OK thinking I needed to do that to email them. Now, yellow triangle. ( I have changed my preferenced to send via my email program, but I prefer iPhotos snappy layouts and would like to correct this problem.)

In iPhoto's Accounts preference pane delete the email account, close and open iPhoto and add the account back again.
If that doesn't help try some of the photo stationary in Mail.

Point-n-Shoot Videos in Gallery via iPhoto

I uploaded my first video into my Gallery today using iPhoto. I had recorded the video using my point-n-shoot digital camera and uploaded it to the Gallery via iPhoto. I was dissappointed that the Gallery placed the movie into a photo album instead of creating a new section under Movies like in the sample live Gallery provided by Apple.com.
Outside of exporting the video to iMovie and uploading from there, is there an easier way to get it out of Albums and into Movies where it belongs?
If not, I guess I am hosed. I chose not to install the new iMovie as I prefer the old iMovie HD, which can't upload to a .Mac web gallery.

iMovie doesn't overwrite iMovie HD.. I didn't have to select anything special, it just installs alongside.
As for the video- yes, the new iMovie can see and automatically load videos from iPhoto Library. Since the video is from point-and-shoot, though, it may depend on the format. My p/s camera takes MPEG1 video, so I have to convert it before iMovie will read it.

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
