Adding contacts to an icloud photo collection

I tried to send a photo colection to iCloud. That worked all right. The probelm is I was adding names to those I wanted to be able to access the collection and did somthing wrong and it lauched and that was it. Now I cannot add contacts to have access to the collection of photos. There has to be a way. Otherwise the whole idea is bogus./

Are you referring to a Shared Photo Stream?

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact and it whipped all my data out and I have no photos nothing reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact. When I plugged it in my computer it started to sync with iTunes and it whipped all my data out. I have no photos contacts nothing, so I then in a rage reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips. I just want my phone back

Was this the very first time you ever plugged the phone into that computer?
Did you pay attention to the prompts you were given when you plugged it in?
Did you have iCloud backups turned on before you did this? I hope so... If you did, restore the phone from the last iCloud backup from before you wiped it. If not, then the photos, etc. are gone. Apps and music can be re-downloaded.

Why my recently added contact saves to outlook, not to iCloud or device?

Hello, I have this problem. my recently added contact straight away saves to OUTLOOK account, but not to device or iCloud. please help!

Hello duoms,
To make sure we are on the same page, when you are creating contacts they are not going to iCloud. Start with the article below and scroll down to the Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook) section to check the settings of iCloud and if any Outlook Add-ins may be causing issues.

My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

Having switched from iPhoto to ICloud Photo I find that their are many, many double and triple photos. Just added a small folder of photoes and all are showing in photos as doubles. What am I doing wrong?

ICloud photos gone after iOS 8 update

Hi, everyone,
Recently I have updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and when I open the Photos app I can't find my photos that are stored on the iCloud. Previously on iOS 7 they were kept in My Photo Stream folder, but in the recent update it is gone and in collections and albums only photos from camera roll are present though I can view them on iPhoto for Mac. Perhaps iCloud photos on iOS are stored somewhere else now? If anyone who encountered this issue could leave a response or a fix to the problem I would really appreciate it.

In iOS 8, new photo stream photos will appear in the Recently Added album in the Albums section of the Photos app. Older photo stream photos (as well as new ones) will appear in the Photos section.
See Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.

How to see my photos on iCloud Photo Library

I'm online in iCloud.com on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1.3, with iCloud photos optimized. How can I see my photos

The following quote is from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Where do I view photos and videos in iCloud Photo Library?
On your iOS device with iOS 8.1 or later, open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab. Photos and videos are organized by date, and listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. In iOS 8.1, you can also view your photos and videos by the date they were added from the All Photos album. Your entire library is also available on the beta Photos app on iCloud.com.

Icloud photo sync

I have the following apple products: IPhone 6 and Ipad Air
I have a large collection of pictures on my PC which I would like to transfer to Icloud
I have downloaded the icloud software to my pc which it has created a folder called My Photo Stream this is currently showing 251 pictures all of which are my pictures but don't appear on either of my apple devices. But just populated when I downloaded the software.
I have 1236 photos showing on the IPhone
I have 1209 photos showing on the Ipad
How do I get all of these to sync so everything matches and then how do I transfer the remaining photos from my PC to icloud

When you have iCloud photo library enabled on a device, you can't see photo stream, even though any new photos you take on that device will be added to photo stream.
Your two mobile devices however should show the same photos on each. Do any of them still say they are uploading or updating.

Where are my contacts pushed from icloud to my PC?

I have my contacts selected to be added to my iCloud but when i log in to iCloud.com they are not there. I am aslo using a PC with my iPhone 5.

I needed to locate them in "finder" so I could upload them but had the devil of a time finding them, and still haven't.
iCloud syncs to iPhoto, not the Finder.
Launch iPhoto.
From the iPhoto menu bar click iPhoto > Preferences then select the Photo Stream tab.
Make sure: Enable Photo Stream is selected.
Same for Photo Stream in System Preferences > iCloud > Photo Stream
I drag photos to the desktop and upload from there.

IPhoto, iCloud Photos, QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture all hanging

iMac mid-2011, 8 GB RAM, 1TB Internal Hard Drive, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9, iPhoto 5, Aperture 3.5
My iPhoto library, iCloud photos and some Mac OS X Mavericks file called QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture keep hanging and not responding. Tried repairing permissions and repairing iPhoto library multiple times. Tried re-downloading Mavericks and that did not fix it. Called Apple Support. They said they could not help me beyond what I had already tried (Apple Online Support has really gone downhill since the last time I called) and to go to my local Apple retail store to see a Genius.
After running hardware tests, the Genius told me that my iPhoto library was too large and that was what was causing iPhoto and iCloud photos to hang. Even though he acknowledged that the QTKitServer operating system file is not supposed to hang. The Genius put in an additional 8 Mb memory to see if adding more memory would help (apparantly iPhoto is supposed to give back some memory when you close it and it does not). So Apple is not flushing memory when an App is closed. Apple's apparent solution is to add more memory that you have to purchase. However, the same three files kept not responding even with the additional memory. So I passed on the additional memory until I get the iPhoto problem solved. He also said my external hard drive, a WD 2TB hard drive that I bought from the same Apple retail store two or three years ago, looked like it was failing because there were lots of disk I/O errors in the system log, even though the drive appears to work fine and disk utility reported no problems when I ran Verify Disk on the external WD drive two days ago. I do not use this drive hardly at all (I backup my iMac to my Time Capsule), exept to keep a backup copy of my iPhoto library and Documents folder, and it has lots of original pictures that are not in my existing iPhoto library. I copied my iPhoto library and Documents folder to it last night and they seemed to copy fine.
So if my iPhoto library is really too big, and that is what the issue is, my problem is that there is no apparent way to break up my existing iPhoto Library into multiple small iPhoto libraries, without losing all of my keywords, titles, photo edits, event names, album names, folders and projects etc. The last time I tried breaking up my iPhoto library into smaller iPhoto libraries, even though I told iPhoto to export keywords and titles, it did not. And the Genius did not know if it would work now or not.
My question is to those of you who have large iPhoto libraries and are using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud Photos - how big are your iPhoto libraries? What is too big? Does anyone have an iPhoto library the size of mine that is working fine (who is also using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud)? When I talked to Apple online support, they said big iPhoto libraries are 100,000 photos and up. The Genius said anything over 1,000 is big. That's quite a spread. Currently I have 24,000 photos, most of which have been edited in some way or another, and about 1/2 of which have new titles, mulitple keywords assigned, faces and places assigned, etc., since I imported the original master photos. The Genius told me to duplicate my existing iPhoto library, create a new iPhoto library, import all of the folders in the iPhoto database except the Masters folder, and see if iPhoto still hung. If it did, he said it was all the data attached to the photos that is the problem, in which case I would need to create another new iPhoto library and import only the Masters file (images only). I think if I import only the Masters from my existing library, I will lose not only all of my keywords and titles, but also all of my photo edits, event names, album names, folder names, projects etc.
So I wasted an entire afternoon at the Apple retail store, only to buy a new external hard drive (that I may not even need), was told to buy more memory (that did not solve the problem - I passed on that), and I am no further ahead than I was when I went in. I need to know if there is any way that I can break up my iPhoto library into smaller libraries and retain all of the metadata and photo edits?
Finally, when I got home, I discovered that my husband with whom I had shared some of my photo streams, still had photos showing in shared photo streams that I had removed from iCloud two days ago. It removed them on my iMac - the place where those streams originated, but apparently left the thumbnails in the shared photo streams of everyone that I had shared the photos with. As soon as I clicked on an actual photo on my husband's iMac, the photo suddenly vanished and all the photo thumbnails in the stream did too. But the empty shared photo stream still remained on my husband's iMac and he had to physically say "Unsubscribe" to get it to go away. So something is not working right with iCloud photos, which is no doubt why iCloud photos is one of the files that keeps not responding.
Then, when I set up my iMac again this evening, and looked at iCloud on my iMac, all of my photo streams (not just the four that I had removed two days ago) were gone! And when I went into Aperture, the photo streams were all there, but with zero photos in them. Now last night when I boxed up my iMac to take to Apple, those photo streams were all there and they all had photos in them. So where did they go? And why, when you are the originator of a photo stream, and you tell iCloud to remove the photo stream, it says that it does but it leaves remnants of it with the other people you have shared it with? It seems to me that iPhoto, iCloud, and the fact that Apple is not flushing memory when an app closes is the problem with my iMac, not the size of my iPhoto library, or my external hard drive, or the fact that 8Gb of memory is apparently no longer enough memory for decent response with Mavericks (which I thought was designed to help solve some of the memory issues that OS X has).
I need help and help is apparently nowhere to be found at Apple.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?

If you're using iPhoto 5 as you say then, yes, 24k photos is heading close to the Limit of 25k. iPhoto 6 is good for 250,000 images, iPhoto 11 is good for 1,000,000.
I'm going to guess that's a typo and that you have iPhoto 9.5.
I've simply never heard of "too many photos" causing the problem you describe. You don't need more memory. You don't need to break up the Library. "Flushing Memory" is a non-isssue. One of the big improvements in 10.9 is in memory management.
There are a couple of ways to break up a Library while preserving everything. It's dead easy with Aperture - export projects as Library - you can do it with iPhoto simply by duplicating the Library and deleting from the two libraries or use iPhoto Library Manager.
But, as I say, 24k is a small Library. My main library is more than twice the size of that.
Are Aperture and iPhoto using the same Library?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

How do I use the same iCloud Photo Library on multiple iPhones?

I want to be able to use iCloud photo library on all my i-Devices, with the same photo library. I can log in with the same iCloud account on all devices, but, then I can't get FindMyFriends to work, because each IOS device needs it's own iCloud account for FindMyFriends.
Suggestions?

it tells me it is already in use
You will need to contact the previous owner of the iPhone in order to change the Apple ID.

How do I share one iCloud Photo Library

We are in our late 60's (years of age). We have 3,500 pics on the Mac,
I now have PHOTOS on my Mac, my iPhoto Library is 8.99GB.
I am almost ready to jump to use iCloud Photo Library. I know I will need to up it to 20GB @ .99 cents a month (a deal if all this works out)
How can she and I access my *(our)* photos in iCloud Photo Library.
Our Stuff::
Mac Book Pro 2011 13" OSX 10.10.3 I have two external HD's as back ups, on on Time Machine, on with SupperDupper.
My phone iPhone 5:16GB iOS 8.03,
my wifes iPhone iPhone 5:16GB iOS 6, (yeah, I know!!)
Yes, I will got through the hurdle of upgrading and teaching her iOS 8.03 on her phone.
She has always had an Apple ID but never even used the App Store for a purchase.
So, I do all of that how does she access the pics to show her friends.
Is Family Sharing as bad as many have said: Maybe that's for another question/group.
We have 3,500 pics on the Mac, I have two external HD's as back ups, on on Time Machine, on with SupperDupper.
Thank you Apple Community in advance for any advice of a positive nature.

You mention she hasn't made a purchase on her AppleID. But does she use unique iCloud features? Does she use her own email, Calendar and contacts provided by iCloud?
If she effectively shares all the iCloud feature set with you, you could safely just use her device(s) as your own. If you look in the iCloud settings you'll notice some can be turned on and off, like mail and calendars, etc. Those services are accessible as a secondary account. The services like Find my iPhone and Photos are only accessible from the primary iCloud account.
If that particular service set works for your needs-
Set the primary iCloud account on her phone with your credentials.
Then the Photo library available via iCloud photos will be the same one you sync with on your mac.
If not - you can't do what you want. You have to set up family sharing and use the Family Album. Share your photos to the Family album and they'll be visible to her, but not her library.

What is the best way to aggregate photos from multiple family users into a single iCloud photo library?

My wife and I currently have a iPhone and iPad each.
We share my apple ID account for apps and I also use this as my main icloud account on my devices.
My wifes devices have a different main icloud account.
We also have a iMac with separate users configures, which are tied to our individual icloud accounts.
Now that OSX photos has been released we want to make use of it including icloud photo library.
We take photos. Lots of them.
And we want the photos from all our devices to be aggregated automatically into a single osx photos/iCloud photo library.
1 - because we want a single library which includes all our photos from the last 15 yrs
2 - because we don't want to pay twice for storage
Seems to me there are two options - but I would be happy to hear any others.
1) The family sharing route
This seems to be the official solution, but it has major limitations.
Set up family sharing. I'll be the organiser since its my apple id thats used for app purchases already
Add my wife to the family
Ah... but now she has to manually share every photo or moment from he device
And it seems that these moments are not incorporated into the photos database in same way as the icloud library account users (me) are
2) Family iCloud account
I didn't test it yet, but no reason that I can see why it should not work
Create a new icloud account for the family
Make this family account the primary icloud account on all devices (could be a big disruption for icloud enabled apps)
Add our personal apple ids as mail/contact/calendar account
Make a new user on OSX for photos which has the family icloud account configured
No all devices should share the same photo library
Unfortunately:
We lose bookmark, keychain, etc sync between devices and osx accounts
We lose imessage (maybe).
We lose the new ios8/yosemite features like handoff
Or worse we get crazy imessage/handoff between all devices from all accounts
Both methods have major downsides.
Anyone know of a better way?
Why doesnt apple allow multiple separate icloud accounts to be configured and select which features each can use (where some features may have to be unique to a single account). To me this would seem to be the best option...
