Aperture photos from Photo Stream not syncing in iTunes

Hi
I am running Aperture 3.4.3 on an iMac running 10.8.2. I have Photo Stream enabled. When I open Aperture, it downloads all the recent photos from Photo Stream and puts them in to one or more automatically created projects called something like "Mar 2013 Photo Stream". As I understand it, Aperture is copying the photos from Photo Stream to these new projects, so when Photo Stream eventually deletes the photos (say because I reach the 1000 photo limit), the downloaded versions in Aperture won't affected. So far, so good.
Because the new projects in Aperture start with the month name, I have taken to renaming these folders to something like "2013 03 March Photo Stream", and you can then sort them alphabetically. This might be red herring though.
When I open iTunes and connect my iPhone, I have selected to sync photos from all Events in the last 12 months. This should include all the projects that were created in Aperture. This is where I hit the problem. Some of the projects sync just fine. Others do not. When they don't sync, 2 things happen:
1. The Events don't appear on the iPhone
2. When I look in iTunes, all the affected Events have the same item count. The item count is correct for one project, but not the others. So, for example, I have 4 projects at the moment that won't sync, and all show in iTunes with an item count of 1. Only one project actually contains 1 photo, the rest have many more.
I have tried all sorts of things in Aperture, such as rebuilding the data, deleting the iPod Photo Cache etc.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, my problems have been caused by me renaming the automatic import projects in Aperture. I did notice that Aperture kept creating new empty projects for the same month.
This solution from Jannem1970, posted on this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3585677?start=0&tstart=0, seems to have done the trick for me.
- turn off automatic import for Photo Stream;
- identify 'the ghost'-projectfolders, select and delete them;
- close Aperture (this saves the current setting and condition of your library);
- open Aperture again;
- turn on automatic import for Photo Stream.

Connect your device, then select your device. The several tabs will now appear on the right.

Why will my photos from my iPhone not sync up to my macbook pro?

Ever since I did the new updates my photos and videos will not download from my iPhone 5s to my mac book pro when connected. I was wondering how to troubleshoot this ASAP.

Aperture - Album from Shared Library Not Appearing in iTunes

I have a recurring problem which is making Aperture downright useless.
I operate a shared Aperture library (shared between 2 users on the same iMAC) which resides in the 'Shared' Users folder. Obviously we cannot have the same library open at the same time -that's no problem. I have set the sharing properties for the library contents and folders to Read and Write for both of us.
The problem is that when I add photos and create a new Project ad Album to put them in (not worried about the other user at the moment), these don't show up in the Aperture album or project list in Photos in iTunes to sync to my iPad or iPhone.
I have this very minute added a new album, closed Aperture and made sure its written to disk. Then I have closed the iTunes app and made sure it has quit.
Then when iTunes loads up again and I connect my device - the library and project do not appear in the items to sync.
This happens all of the time and it's making Aperture pretty pants. If the only resolution is to rebuild thumbnails, rebuild XML file etc or any more of that - then its not fit for purpose.
Has anybody a long term permanent fix for this?
It's seriously doing my head in!

Bumping this up as it seems that nobody has any idea.

Take photo from image stream using capture engine technique in media foundation

Hi,
I am beginner for media foundation.I have to develop Win32 desktop application using capture engine technique in media foundation.
I have to implement the following features:1)Show video streaming 2)Capture video 3)Capture photo from still-image stream.These features are implemented in capture engine.
I am able to take photo from video stream not from image stream.I tried to configure the image stream index in Addstream() api,but its giving MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_ERROR error.
To trigger the still pin,use
the IAMVideoControl::SetMode method
in directshow. How do i implement this feature using capture engine technique in MF?My question
is-is it possible do it in Media foundtion??I have searched many sites but no luck.
Here the sample code which i used to capture an image.
HRESULT TakePhoto()
HRESULT hr = m_pEngine->GetSink(MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_SINK_TYPE_PHOTO, &pSink);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = pSink->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&pPhoto));
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = m_pEngine->GetSource(&pSource);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = pSource->GetCurrentDeviceMediaType(1, &pMediaType); // 1 is Image stream index.I will get current image stream media type here.
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
//Configure the photo format
hr = CreatePhotoMediaType(pMediaType, &pMediaType2,GUID_ContainerFormatBmp);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = pPhoto->RemoveAllStreams();
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
DWORD dwSinkStreamIndex;
// Try to connect the first still image stream to the photo sink
if(bHasPhotoStream)
hr = pPhoto->AddStream((DWORD)MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO, pMediaType2, NULL, &dwSinkStreamIndex); //Instead of MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO,i gave index as 1.i am getting error
if(FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = pPhoto->SetOutputFileName(pszFileName);
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
hr = m_pEngine->TakePhoto();
if (FAILED(hr))
goto done;
return hr;
HRESULT OnCaptureEvent(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
GUID guidType;
HRESULT hrStatus;
IMFMediaEvent *pEvent = reinterpret_cast<IMFMediaEvent*>(wParam);
hr = pEvent->GetExtendedType(&guidType);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
if (guidType == MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_ERROR) //i got this error if i give dwSourceStreamIndex as '1' in Addstresm api
DestroyCaptureEngine();
pEvent->Release();
return hrStatus;
Please help me to solve this problem.Past one week,I am working on this issue and i couldnt find the solution.Please give me a some idea or some sample code to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Photos from Aperture not syncing via iTunes?

Hi:
I use Aperture to catalog and edit all my photos, and I post some stuff to Flickr. I decided I wanted all my Flickr content on my iPad and iPhone, so I went to the Flickr project in my library, selected all the photos in a given set, and created an Aperture album from them. Quick side note which may or may not make a difference - not all my photos in Flickr were posted through Aperture (some came from other sources, etc.). When I open these albums in Aperture, I see jpegs of all the photos I snagged from Flickr - so far, so good.
Now - I fire up iTunes and tell it I want to sync selected albums. I pick all the albums of photos from Flickr. I sync - and for a couple of the albums I get a few shots (3 from one album, 2 from another, etc.) - but I can NEVER get all the photos synced to my devices.
I've tried regenerating all the previews in Aperture, and I've also tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache file in the Aperture applib package. No joy.
Curiously, I have absolutely no problems syncing with some old photos I have left in iPhoto. I'm half tempted to export my Aperture albums to iPhoto then sync with that - but that's too much of a manual workaround, and this should just work from Aperture --> iTunes.
This is driving me nuts - any help/advice would be appreciated!

Same problem here...
But how did you set the 'Previews to Share with other applications' ? I still get this message that I have to set the Previews to share with other apps. This is an option in Aperture but I can't find it...

My Photo Stream not syncing properly

When i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone, it deletes it from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop. Is this correct? The reason i ask is that my understanding of this is that it should all sync 'live'. But, if i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop, it remains in 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone.
Confusing.
I would prefer it if ''My Photo Stream' on my laptop was static so i have a backup of all photos taken. Is this possible?

See this document: iCloud: How to delete photos from Photo Stream
The reason i ask is that my understanding of this is that it should all sync 'live'. But, if i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop, it remains in 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone.
Deleting the photos from Photo Stream will delete them from iCloud, if that photo is still in iCloud. The photos will only be in iCloud for a month. So if you delete an older photo from Photo Stream, the change may not be applied to other devices, since they will see no change in iCloud.
Also photos you already saved from the Photo Stream will not be deleted, if you delete a photo from Photo Stream.
I would prefer it if ''My Photo Stream' on my laptop was static so i have a backup of all photos taken. Is this possible?
Set the preferences on your Laptop to automatically download from the PhotoStream. Are you using iPhoto on your Laptop? All photos saved from the Photo Stream to monthly events by automatic download will stay in your iPhoto library, when you delete photos from the Photo stream on your devices.

Is there a way to delete photos from Photo Stream on my macbook pro? (Not from my folders,etc.) I need to empty the photo stream. Something in my photo stream has corrupted my phone and my apple specialist suggested I do this.

Is there a way to delete the photos in Photo Stream on my mackbook pro notebook?
My phone became corrupted today and, after continuing to have problems with 2 new phones, the apple specialists determined that the only possible explanation was the presence of a corrupted photo or video in photo stream; and that the only way to use my phone without it shutting down was to deactivate the photo stream on it. It worked, but I would like to be able to have the option of using photostream again. The apple folks suggested that I delete all photos from photo stream on my computer; and then, when it is "empty", reactivate it on my phone? Is anyone familiar with this problem?

I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday. They backed up all my photos on my computer. I was advised to delete photos from Photo stream on my iPhone and iPad and then back it up. I did backup the iPhone, ipad back not possible not enought space

Hello,
I had a one on one with my apple rep yesterday. They backed up my camera roll from my iphone as well as my ipad on my computer as I was not able to backup to icloud due to lack of space.
They advised me to delete photos from my photo stream on my iphone and ipad and then do a back up.
I deleted the photos from photo stream on my iphone and ipad.
I was able to backup my iphone but NOT my ipad as it is saying that there is not enough room on icloud to do this back up.
Any solution?

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

Photo Stream not syncing with Windows 7

Photo stream seems to be having trouble syncing with certain Windows machines. Mine is having the same problem. I was having trouble getting photos from the stream to my Windows 7 machine so I tried to uninstall and reinstall the iCloud control panel 2.0. Seemed to fix the problem until next reboot then it stopped syncing again.
Have seen numerous posts about this but no fix or attention. Since Apple support is pretty much non-existant with this topic, figured I would add another post about the problem in hopes someone at Apple would see this and look into it.

First make sure iCloud and Photo Stream are installed on your PC. Connect the iPad (or iPhone) to your PC with the USB cable and start iTunes on your PC. Once your iPad/iPhone shows up under "Devices" in the sidebar (which you may have to enable), click it. Then click "Photos" at the top of the iTunes screen on your PC. Check the "Sync Photos from" box, and then under that, click "Selected folders." (Ignore the pulldown menu to the right of "Sync Photos from" -- the important thing is to tick "Selected folders.") A pane should open up below that with a list of folders including "Photo Stream." Choose that and then at the bottom of the screen click Sync. This worked for my Windows 7 box.

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

How risk is to add photos from 'Photo Stream'-

How risk is to add photos from ‘Photo Stream’ direct to an album on iPad without ‘save to camera roll’ first?… sometimes it works sometimes not. I’m confused.

I got it… Select all photos from an album, then ‘share’ to iCloud… create a ‘Stream Name’ and email me… Is this the best way? I think it’s great… I didn’t get about the iTunes sync, I’m afraid, I already lost photos in that way…
thanks

im having a prob on how to tranfer all my photos from my ipad including the photostream and completely delete all my photos in my ipad,,help,,

im having a prob on how to tranfer all my photos from my ipad i
To transfer your photos:
Transfer and erase the Camera Roll:
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture.
Select your iPad in the Devices list and click "Import all".
When the import finishes, you can erase the contents of the Camera Roll, if you want. That would be the quickest way, but deleting it on the iPad in the Photos.app would be safer, but more work.
Delete photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Delete the Photo Stream contents:
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.
