Any way to throttle photo upload?

After upgrading to 10.10.3 and Photos, it seems that the upload of my library to iCloud is consuming all of my available bandwidth, to the point where my Mac and any other device in my house has become unusable. In Activity Monitor, nurlsessiond is at the top of the list with about 1000x the sent packet rate of the next highest process.
With 400 GB of pictures to upload, am I going to have to live with this for the next week or is there a way I can slow down the upload rate, even if it means my library will take longer to upload?

This is geeky but seems to work: Use Apple's Network Link Conditioner (NLC) to limit the upload speed from your computer.
Download the NLC system preference from the Apple Developer's site. It is part of the Hardware IO Tools.
Install the NLC system preference.
Open the NLC system preference and create a new profile.
Limit the Uplink speed. I chose about 60% of my available uplink bandwidth and that seems to work OK.
Set the Downlink limit to something at least close to your ISP's bandwidth or above.
You'll probably need to play around with the limits. Remember that it affects all of the network traffic in and out of the computer so something like a Time Capsule backup might go really, really slowly.
Here's the setting I used:

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
1. with the help of any android app
2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
I did try some of the options:
1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
Thank you!

If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied? Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

Not unless you recover it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

10.3 - any way to throttle connection attempts?

An elderly friend has a mac running 10.3 on an ADSL link. She's seeing many thousands of ssh login attempts per day, sufficient to eat significantly into her monthly download allowance (the isp charges for traffic, whether there is a successful connection or not). I'm wondering if there is any way to throttle connection attempts back? I.e. I know it is possible to set up iptables that way, but is there any front end for this, or does one have to build the iptables by hand?

Thanks Clea; I hadn't realised OSX didn't use iptables.
Yes, she does need to allow ssh connections (I use ssh to maintain her machine, from a distance of about 10,000 km - not always easy). Of course, this means that I can't risk anything that might disable the ssh connection, since I then wouldn't be able to recover it.
I need to explain that security isn't an issue - the ssh setup is secure, and no attempted breakins have succeeded (only one account is accessible by ssh, and that one has a very secure password). The problem is purely the bandwidth that is being used by the unsuccessful login attempts: I'd like to find a way to simply drop these illicit connection attempts at the firewall (which means they will cost just the 80B or so of the initial connection message) rather than, as now, refuse the ssh connection (which typically costs 2K-4K because of the handshaking that goes on). With 10K illicit connection attempts per day now becoming typical on this network, that's a very substantial bandwidth saving.
Changing the ssh port might do the job, but it looks like a fair amount of work. I'll try it on the weekend.

I got my New iPad in the mail yesterday. I imported my photos and videos to make a short movie. The photos had lost all their original quality. Is there any way to import photos without losing quality?

If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie emptied trash..

Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service

Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
Backup the phone to your computer
Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
enable Photo Stream
Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
Enable Photo Sharing
Enable Photo Library backup
OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it.

Is there any way to download photos from iPhone 5s to windows 8

Is there any way to download photos from an iPhone5S to a pc w/ windows8?

See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Make sure that if you have a passcode lock on the phone that you unlock the phone prior to connecting the device. Also, if you do not have Import photo set up in AutoPlay, you may have to go to Computer, then right-click on the phone and select Import photos.

Is there any way to import photos directly from Blackberry bold smart phone

Not directly, no, not that I've seen. You need to get the photos from your Blackberry into your computer. From there you can sync them to your iPad.

My daughter's iPhone was stolen, is there any way to recover photos that were back-upped to iCloud?

My daughter's iPhone was stolen. Is there any way to recover photos that she would have backed up to the Cloud? Note, we did not have photoshare running.

Camera roll photos are included in the backup. The backup includes:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails

Is there any way to get photos off of my iPhone 4 that won't turn on?

A couple of weeks ago my iPhone 4, running on iOS 7, decided to stop working. It just shut off all of a sudden, and wouldn't turn back even if it was plugged into a computer. It would just say that it was an iPhone in recovery mode, and that it needed to be restored. I would be okay with doing this, however I recently went on a big trip and took hundreds of photos on this trip with my phone, and I mistakenly did not back up my iPhone since this trip. I was wondering if there was any way to get these pictures off of my phone myself, and if not if there is any way that the people at the apple store could help me?
Thank you!

Is there any way to have photo stream to sync to my pictures folder like it did before installing iLife 11?

Hi,
Before installing iLife 11, my photo stream synced to the (Finder)Pictures- Photo Stream - which I very much liked.
Now I have installed iLife 11, iPhoto has taken over and the photos syncthere, not in the original Photo Stream folder.
Is there any way for me to revert syncing to the pictures folder ratherthan with iPhoto?
2 reasons why:
1 - I have to copy the photos out of iPhoto which is annoying, there’sno point in having a auto sync if I have to copy out of iPhoto, I might aswell becopying off my phone.
2 - photos only sync when iPhoto is open so I have to wait for them todownload whereas before they synced as I took them and when I got in, they were'just there' and now I have to wait.
If anyone can suggest a solution for me that would be great, I don’twant to remove iPhoto from my system so that’s not an option.
If there isn’t a solution, what’s Apple playing at? Surely this isfrustrating for users other than me?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to sort photos on iPad

I have iPad 2 and use iCloud to put photos from iPhoto (Macbook Pro) to iPad which works wonderful!!! I would like to sort the photos by name if possible, but cannot find any way to do this. It seems tthat iCloud adds most of the new photos at the bottom of the iPad file, but sometimes, it inserts a photo in the middle of the file. I use the photos as reference for painting and would like some order to them. Any help would be appreciated.

It's easier to use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro. You can drag the photos around like the way you do with apps.
