Aperture and Photo Stream duplicates

I'm hardly an expert with Aperture, but I've been dismayed to see that once I've edited a photo in Aperture, Photo Stream picks up both the edited version AND the original master. Given that once I've edited the master it's no longer showing in Aperture itself, I don't know how to resolve this behavior. Even photos I've trashed (and emptied) show up in Photo Stream, both the original and any edited version that I likewise trashed.
Does this have anything to do with "stacks?" Few of my photos are in stacks, unless I just don't realize that.
Oh. Aperture manages all my photos. I don't have them referenced from any other location, just in case that helps to know.
Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Laura

Hello Laura,
I'm afraid, there is nothing you can do about it. There is no way to delete an image from the Photo Stream other than wait for it to disappear on its own after 30 days.
If you have set Aperture to "automatic upload" to Photo Stream, your master images will be added to the stream, as soon as you import them, and they will stay until they are replaced by other images. And if you edit the image, then the edited version will appear in the Photo Stream too.
If you want to have at least some control over the contents of your Photo Stream, do not enable automatic upload and download. Otherwise the stream will be filled with images that you discarded shortly after import to Aperture, because you did not like them.

Léonie

Anyone else seeing photo stream duplicate files?

I have numerous, maybe all, of the photos in my photo stream are duplicated. One file name is upper case, then duplicated in lower case. I revealed the photos in Finder, and you can see the duplicate photo example below. On file is IMG_1072.JPG and the other is img_1072.jpg. The timestamp of the files are hours apart.
Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

You can see from the info screen shot below that one file is 2.2 MB and the other is 4.1 MB. I did a web search for photo stream duplicate issues, and did not find one thread regarding this! I don't know what is causing the duplicates yet, but I have my suspicions. Here are three things that have changed recently which may be related to the problem:
1. I installed Aperture, which shares the same library as iPhoto.
2. I recently began sharing my photo stream, but I'm not sure if the dups occurred before or after that.
3. I created an Image Capture plugin which copies image files from my iPhone to a directory, changes file names to lower case, uses ImageMagick to add a small date stamp, etc. But I haven't even run this workflow on the two files listed below yet.
So, I'm still investigating...

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Need Camera Roll and Photo Stream folders back

I don't understand why apple removed Cameral Roll and Photo Stream folders in Photo App. I used to move all photos in Camera Roll to my computer periodically. and I still can access last 1000 photos from Photo Stream folder if I want to access them, maybe I would upload some photos from Photo Stream folder to some apps like FB, Instagram etc.
But after I updated to iOS 8, app can never access that Photo Stream folder now, even it's still there and occupied lots of space ( if you go to usage menu you can see that).
How do I access photos in Photo Stream folder now??? I want it back. it's so inconvenience for me. anyone else would agree this??
Have done a lot of google, but nothing can help this.

This is the way Photo Stream has always worked:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream If you're using iCloud Control Panel 2.1 to 2.1.3, the path is C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream
Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

You don't move them to iTunes or an iTunes account.
You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

If I delete photos from my iPhone photos and photo stream, and they are not in the 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, do they go to the Recycle Bin on my PC, or disappear altogether?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered before.
I deleted some photos from both 'Photos' and 'Photo Stream' using my iPhone. They are not in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, but do they go to the Recycle Bin or just disappear altogehter?
Thanks.

I am afraid not.
Photo Stream is a sync tool and not a backup solution.
If you change the Photo Stream on one device it pushes those changes to all devices.

If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream are gone

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream disappeared. I have 7500 pictures in my camera roll... I see some of them sorted into "collections"... this is not how I would ever sort or collect my photos.. work documents, mixed with family photos, mixed with selfies my son took with the dog? please please please tell me there is a way to get my old camera roll back. This update is a disaster for iPhone photo users... Is photo stream gone as well?

This has been asked and answered DOZENS of times on here since last week. Please search the forum and you will definitely find your answer.

No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream

No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream is turned on.

Photostream is separate from iCloud backups. Were the photos part of the backup, or only part of Photostream?
If they were part of the backup, then restore your device from the iCloud backup.
If they were only part of Photostream, then that is, again, temporary storage, for up to 30 days. After 30 days, the photos may or may not be available.

91 Days and counting and Photo Stream still grayed out in iCloud CP

Well, in the past 11 days, my daughter produced twin boys. However, Apple hasn't fixed the crummy attempt at iCloud for 91 days now.

Photo Stream still grayed out on PC iCloud Control Panel

I have posted a fix that works for two issues:
You can't sign onto iCloud Control Panel; just hangs with a spinning progress wheel forever..
You CAN sign onto iCloud Control Panel, but things like photostream are greyed out
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811063?tstart=30
If you have iCloud control panel open, close it. Make sure its not even minimized on your system tray.
Copy this path to your clipboard: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
Goto 'start -> run' (or click 'windows+r' hotkey)
Paste the path in the run box and hit enter
From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
Apparently MobileMeAccounts.plist is getting screwed up in a couple different ways and prevents this from working correctly. After you log on control panel again, photostream will not be greyed out. You will have to reselect your custom path you want to store your pictures unless you just wanted to stick with the default path control panel is set to.
