Access historical photos and videos stored within iMessages

Is there a way to access all photos and videos stored within iMessages without having to go through each conversation hitting 'load more' again and again?
For some of my long conversations the messages app crashes after a while returning me to the home screen so I can't view any older messages, videos or photos. It's too cumbersome having to do that anyway. I hope there's a simpler way as my messages storage size has ballooned and needs to be reduced.

Has no one else got the same problem?!
Whatsapp allows a detail view for any contact or group where it's possible to view all media exchanged between that contact/group. iMessage should have the same.
iMessage seems to balloon in size quicker too.
Whatsapp/Viber reduce media size/quality so take less space but iMessage doesn't. Each picture is sent full size for example 3-4mb for one taken with the phone! It should give size option like is given when emailing....should be quick implementation too since that already have that functionality.

Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
Look at this app for the videos.

Do you mean your photos in the Photo Stream?
First her system and iPhoto version should support iCloud and Photo Stream: OS X 10.7. 5 and iPhoto 9.4 or later.
Next, she would have to log into the your iCloud account in her System/iCloud preference pane and enable Photo Stream:
She would also have to enable Photo Stream in here iPhoto Photo Stream preferences:
If she enables all of the iCloud features in the System/iCloud preference pane she'll be syncing your Contact list with hers, bookmards, etc. If you want to have her only get the photos do not enable any of the other items. If she has her own iCloud account she'll won't be able to use it.
If you want to create a Shared Photo Stream
so she could view the phtotos you put in it without using your iCloud account the system requiremets are: OS X 10. 8.2 or later. This Apple document describes what is needed: iCloud: System requirements

Using server 2003 as webserver to access shared photos and videos

I have server 2003 installed on HP ML310 runs great. I have about 90gb of pics, vids on a hard drive. i want to be able to access across the WAN from home lan network. I have an ADSL connection 18mbps downstream, i also use a SMoothwall express
for security protection. I know this maybe a bit much to give info on but i need some insight. thanks how do i setup the server to be able to do this?

I dont want to use it as an FTP server, I want to use it as a Webserver so when a user access the server via name or ip address and port they can just view the contents of the pics and videos and open them on the fly. I do not need upload like FTP
does just viewing not editing. I have the IIS component installed and i can acess the shared folder i setup in the IIS properties for my site which i gave a special name via LAN but not from the wan side. here is some more details:
I need some more insight on how to access the server from outside of LAN. I basically installed IIS components including FTP on my server 2003 box. I gave it a name and the server has a static IP address assigned to it. in the smoothie i assigned ports 80,
75 to the server which is 192.168.0.5 under network - incoming setting i put the required info destination ip, port etc. I know what my public IP so i tried it via mobile device with Dolphin browser by putting in
HTTP://publicipaddress:port 75 nothing comes up but when i do it internal across the LAN it works fine i can see the basic directory of the folder that is being shared under inetpub. what am i missing. is it my ATT uverse gateway that is blocking it
? I put the ATT gateway in DMZ mode ( firewall bascially turned off) im not sure if you can even do this with the ATT gateway doesnt seem to work or did i do it wrong in the smoothie ?

Why is my Macbook pro with OS lion prompting me my startup disk almost full when i have deleted many files, photos and videos? Even thrashing them doesn't help. There seems to be an automatic space usage in the background

I have deleted many unwanted files and apps and yet the available space keeps depleting every time i am using my Macbook Pro. I believe under the OS 10.7.4 one of the features is it backups or has backgrounding features which uses memory. Sometimes even when i hv 8GB space after using my Macbook Pro for say 2hrs surfing internet and using Pages which has a "Save Version" feature suddenly my 8GB goes down to 300+MB only and it starts prompting me "My Startup Disk is almost full" once it reaches 1GB space left. How can i get more space.... Please someone can help me? Do i need to re-format my hardisk??!! Any help out there is greatly appreciated.
My original HD is 320GB. And i don't hv too many Apps installed. I do have abt 50-70apps. I do have many photos and videos stored in iPhoto's Library though.

One thing I've noticed is that a shared tab pops up when I open the finder under "favorites" with a random connection. It's called hp68b... None of my friends that I live with have this and we all use the same internet. Two days ago when I would click it and click get info, it said it was a pc. When I checked it today it said it is a "sharepoint" and looks like a harddrive.
I took it too the store after i spilt water on it but when I got it back it ran perfectly fine. I don't know a lot about computer so if somebody could help me. It says I'm connected to it and I can't disconnect or delete it. I don't know if the guy at the computer store put something in my computer and is sharing all my files.

IMovie11 - MARKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS USED IN PROJECTS

After endless research, I have finally figured out how to mark the photos and video clips I have in my project so that I don't duplicate them in my project. It's actually easy once you know how to do it.
1. Create your new project (Movie)
2. Create your event with the photos and videos you want to use from iPhoto. Name your event same as your Project to make it easier to find the event for that project. The work flow will be > Event > iPhoto Library > Albums > Select the entire Album or individual items.
iMovie will not mark any photo or video that is not stored in iPhoto, so make sure you have your Photos and Video stored there. You can always delete any media later you don't want to keep. I found it easiest to organize the media I will be using in a project into an Album, and give it a name relating to your Project so you know where they're at, and you don't have to sort through your entire iPhoto collection to find them.
3. Now you have your Photos / Video in your event.
* As you ad the media to your project, an ORANGE line will appear on the media indicating you used it in the project you currently have open.
* If you see a PURPLE line on any of them, that indicates they are used in a different project you have created. >>> See Attachment ...
Remember that you will only see these mark lines in events.

If you don't want iDVD to show its theme or menu then go into the Map mode in iDVD and drqg the slideshow containing the photos and video clips into the blue Auto Play bin at the left.
Click to view full size
When inserted into a DVD player it will begin playing immediatey. However, when findished it will fall back to the menu so use the menu which would look best for the situation. They can be modified by droppiing image files into the menu settings bin to give it a different background.
Make sure your photos and video clips end up in the slideshow together:

How can I upload old pictures and videos stored in my icloud to my new windows laptop?

I haven't had a laptop in years and have been backing up my iPhone solely on the icloud. I now have a new laptop and would like to access old photos and videos from my old icloud backups. How may I do that on this new windows laptop?

Hi SuperMarine14,
Since you have iCloud available you also can use a service called My Photo Stream. See this article -
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
This will allow you to see all of your photo and video content on devices using it.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
Here is my setup: I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
So here is what I am trying to achieve: I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days. I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things.
My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders. If that were the worst of it, I might be ok. But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored. They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds. I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
Is there anyone at all who can help with this? The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it. Please, please help if you can. I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

Hi KDT
Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details. AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
Hope this helps.

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,

What is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

what is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original. Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

Load/download photos and videos from iMessage

Hi! Is it possible to load/download all sent and received photos and videos from iMessage during the time, from for example one person? Thank you.

I hope someone understands my question. In for example the app Viber, you can get up all the pictures and movies who has been sent betweet to persons. In iMessage or MMS on Apple you have to scroll back in the time to get it in the same way.

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.
