Automatic Import Of Photo Streams I Subscribe To (not mine)

Sorry, if this question has already been answered, I could not find the info in my feeble search attempts.
My understanding of the Automatic Import setting for Aperture is that it automatically imports my Photo Stream and only my Photo Stream. Aperture automatically creates a new Project for each month of Photo Stream import.
It does not automatically import any photos from any of the other Photo Streams I'm subscribing to.
Correct?
Is there a way to automatically import the photos from these other, subscribed to Photo Streams?
Could a Smart Album do this? I couldn't seem to figure out how to create one. I couldn't get the source to point to the specific Photo Stream.

It does not automatically import any photos from any of the other Photo Streams I'm subscribing to.
Correct?
Yes, you have to import from the Shared Photo Szreams manually by dragging the items to a project in your library.

I don't know of any option in Aperture that could do this.
Could a Smart Album do this? I couldn't seem to figure out how to create one. I couldn't get the source to point to the specific Photo Stream.
Smart albums can only refer to library items that already have been imported. So that will not work.
You will see an alert in the Aperture item, if someone adds a photo to a shared stream. So simply import when you see the alert.
Sorry, I have not really a solution, unless you would be willing to write an Apple Script, that checks for new photos and imports.

  • How to stop Automatic import of photo stream photos?

    Photos app is automatically importing every picture from photo stream. Even after deleting the photos in photo stream they are still showing up in the photos library. How do I stop auto import? There does not seem to be a way to stop this. It is saving every pic I take with my iPhone. I have to manually delete hundreds of photos I do not want .

    On your Mac, how do you have the options in Photos > Preferences > iCloud set? Is either iCloud Photo Library or My Photo Stream checked?
    On your iPhone, how do you have the options in Settings > iCloud > Photos set? Is either iCloud Photo Library or Upload to My Photo Stream set?
    You will get the effect you mention if either both iCloud Photo Library options are set or both My Photo Stream options are set (or all four are set).

  • How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

    New Photo app on Mac.
    How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
    With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
    If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
    How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
    Any other suggestions?
    thx

    The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it.  There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
    Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck.  Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules.  That may be the problem.

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    sarah

    and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • Some iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream are black

    I'm seeing a whole bunch of iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream as black images in latest iPhoto '11.  When I look at the original file in finder, it is intact, however the modified one is just a black image (which is what shows up in iPhoto).
    This is very concerning.  I'm now manually re-importing all my 4S photos.
    Strangely, the same photos that appear black in iPhoto Photo Stream are fine on my iPad and iPhone Photo Stream view.
    So it seems that iPhoto is breaking them when it imports them.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?

  • Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream?

    Hi,
    My photostream is linked to Aperture.  Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream or will it still import while it's not running?
    Thanks!
    Mavericks 10.9
    Aperture 3.5

    Might seem silly but is there any way to request a daemon be created to handle this magically in the background? Or open and push iPhoto to the background so I don't know its running?

  • Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • HT201317 The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account?! Why?

    The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account.  The only icons are Mail, contacts, calendar and iwrok.  What can I do??

    Basically Apple actually took away the Gallery capability we used to have with me.com when they replaced it with Photo Stream. So there is no way to see on the web, nor send a URL to friends to share the pictures like you used to be able to do with Gallery. To do that, you will need to push those photos to an external service such as Snapfish or Flickr or a social media site.

    You can't get a url for my photo stream; only for publically shared streams.

    Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts?  If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password.  If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

  • How to prevent iPhoto to make an automatic event when importing from Photo stream

    Hi everyone,
    My question is related to the Photo stream functionality in iPhoto.
    Is possible to prevent iPhoto from making an automatic event when I import a photo from Photo stream. It is really annoying because of the fact that I use "events" for keeping my important photo's together (as many of you do I asume). Ofcourse after importing I can just delete it from my event section but is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks.

    No. Photostream creates an Event for each month.
    iPhoto has many other tools for managing and categorising your Photos.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • If I delete photos from photo stream to create space will it also delete my back-ups in 'Photos' automatically stored under 'photo stream'?

    I need to create space on my iphone4. I have moved all my photo stream pics to 'Photos' Library on my mac which were automatically labelled 'photo stream' there. Now I want to delete all my photo stream, however I am afraid it will delete the newly transfered pics labelled 'photo stream' in the library. Is it safe to delete?

    If you enabled Automatic Import in iPhone>Preferences>Photo Stream, you photo stream photos should be safely imported to your iPhoto library.  You can check by control-clicking on any photo stream photos; if it says "Show in Library" on the pop-up that opens, it has been imported to your library.  Once the photos are in your iPhoto library, you can safely delete them from photo stream on your phone.
    (You can test this by taking a test photo on your phone, waiting for it to upload to photo stream and import to your iPhoto library, then deleting it from photo stream on your phone and confirming that it is still in your iPhoto library on your Mac.)

  • Import from photo stream into Lightroom 5.7 - how can I import only new photos since first import of all photos in stream (mac)

    Hi
    Importing my photos from photo stream (mac) went well, got 2012 photos out of my photo stream into LR 5.7 with the help of the new plug-in.
    Now I have 3 new photo's in the stream and I want to add them to the library of LR.
    When starting up the plug-in it tells me it will import 2015 photos, instead of just 3.
    I hesitate to continue the process and to try my luck as I'm afraid I will end up with more than all 2012 photos doubled.
    Any experience out there yet?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards
    Jan

    Found it.
    At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
    Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
    Thanks.

  • IPhoto 9.4.2, photo stream-add subscriber?

    Hello
    I cannot figure out how to create a list of subscribers to share my Photo Stream pics.
    I succeeded in adding photos and have a Photo Stream icon in the Source panel, which shows my chosen photos, but not what? How do I notify someone or add a subscriber?
    IPhoto 9.4.2, on Mac Pro with Lion.
    Sys Prefs > iCloud, checked Photo Stream
    In iPhoto prefs > turned on Photo Streaming.
    Dragged some photos from an Event into Photo Streaming icon on left.
    After a while, it finished (uploading? syncing?).
    Clicked on Photo Streaming and I see the pictures.
    Now trying to "Add a Subscriber."
    Clicked on Share in lower right corner----pop up menu shows Photo Stream among other options (order prints, Flickr, Facebook, Email)
    Clicked on Photo Stream
    Window opens saying "all the selected photos are already in your photo stream."
    I know that but how do I choose people to share them with??
    Went up to Share in iPhoto main menu and Photo Stream is greyed out.
    I read whatever I could find, in Apple Help, iPhoto, elsewhere on the web.
    Tried to find answers but either the instructions read as though I want to change subscribers, or provide step by step, where one of the steps just is not an option I see of can find.
    Anyone, please, unravel this mystery for me? Thanks

    Thank you LarryHN.
    While I do have an iPad Mini with v6.1.3, my MBP is only in Lion (and my Mac Pro in Snow Leopard). Oddly, until your post I could not find anything about Mt Lion being a requirement.
    I followed the link you provided. More help but also more confusion.
    There's this persistent presumption that key steps, detailed-specific steps, are or will be "understood." Like for example, letting someone know I have put a group of photos into Photo Stream, for their viewing. Adding subscribers keeps getting me info on modifying subscribers, not the step-by-step instructions for isolating a set of pictures, putting them into a so-called photo stream, or album, then making that available to them AND letting them know it. This morning I got as far as choosing some pics on my iPad and putting them into Photo Stream (or were they already there?) Then creating a PS or Album from a subset of those pics, giving it a name, choosing a person from my contacts....then what? I click Done. Then what is supposed to happen? Once again, this presumption of knowing or maybe it's a presumption that most people won't care to know how it is working and be done with it, after clicking done.
    As a test I did this using one friend, and also using myself (using a email address other than my Apple address.)
    I later opened my MBP, tried Mail to see if I got notified (nope) then opened iPhoto and looked to see if it was there. But I can't really tell. What I mean is, I do see pictures when I select Photo Stream, but there are more here than in the test-to-myself PS I set up and (sent?) from my iPad. Is this because the MBP is in Lion, not Mt. Lion? Or because, although I am the same person sending and receiving, I am using two differenrt email addresses (therefore am limited to PS only and not Shared PS?
    I don't know. This is just way too murky and non-intuitive. I appreciate your reply but don't want to take up any more of your time. So I suppose I'm just whining and ranting at this point. Thanks anyway.
