Automatic uploading of photos sent over chat - Un-...

Skype automatically uploads photos to the bull**bleep** skype web API whenever I send photos over skype. This is completely unacceptable and unwarranted. I also can't find the option to remove this "feature" from skype. I don't want a new image hoster, I don't want the internet having them. Peer to peer is far better, as I also get locally saved copies.
Better yet, only half the **bleep** chats send these internet photos. Not only is it a terrible invasion of privacy, but it's inconsistant as hell too.
You've lost a customer in me with this bull**bleep**, Microsoft.

Wait a few month, John.
Apple is currently developing the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library (Beta). Right now, you can only upload to the iCloud Photo Library from mobile devices with iOS 8, but the new Photos.app, to be released early this year, will make this possible from Macs as well. See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
It will be possible to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture libraries to Photos for cloud storage.
Obviously, all new photos I generate go to iCloud automatically but is there a way to get the thousands of photos that I have gathered over the years to be sent to iCloud.
Be careful - if you are referring to "My Photo Stream", your photos are not stored in iCloud. My Photo Stream is a temporary buffer in iCloud, and the new photos are only kept for 30 days in iCloud, then they will be purged to make room for more recent photos. The photo streams are meant for sharing photos and not as a permanent storage, see: iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream
If you have saved photos to My Photo Stream, make a local backup of all photos in the stream, while they are still there.

TS3989 New photos I take are not automatically uploaded to photo stream

What happens?
I have turned on my Wi-fi, leave the Camera app
But still
the new photos are only in my album, not the photo stream
so ..
iCloud means nothing to me cos my other devices and laptop cannot receive the copies.
Anyone helps?
Many thanks!

Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position. If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos. For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize my new iPhone in iTunes. It recognizes it in iPhoto and automatically uploads my photos. I have restarted the computer, checked for updates, tried a different USB port. Help please :-)

My iTunes isn't recognizing my new iPhone as a device. iPhoto recognizes it and uploads my pics. I've restarted the computer, updated itunes, tried a different USB port. Help please.

Does iphoto launch as soon as you connect your device?
If yes, did you try to disable the camera notification? iPhone and iPod touch: Disabling digital camera notification in Mac OS X

TS3989 I have automatic upload etc. turned on in my iCloud and Photostream but after having just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, none are getting into. My Photostream, either on my iPad, iPhones or Apple TV. Any suggestions?

I have automatic upload etc. activated in Photo Stream. I just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, but nothing is sowing up on my iPhones my iMacs iPad or on Apple TV. Does anyone have. Any suggestions as to what I can. Do? I am currently on permahold with. apple Help.
THANKS!

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

1520 reframed photos not automatically uploading.

I just got a 1520 and was previously using the 1020. Obviously the camera is a bit different. But with the 1520 if I take a picture it is automatically backed up to OneDrive (per my settings - which are for highest quality backup over wifi). That works fine. But if I then select that picture and zoom in/reframe it and save it, the modified photo is not automatically backed up. I either have to share it or pull it manually via USB connection to my PC.
Is this by design? Or am I doing something wrong?
Also the reframed picture is of much lower resolution (file size original: 5MB; reframed 400K). Is that also by design on the 1520?
Thanks.

Hi, classicrokr. We tried this on our end.
Pictures taken from the Nokia Lumia 1520 are automatically backed up to OneDrive with the same settings. After re-framing the pictures and saving them, they are also automatically uploaded/backed up to OneDrive.
Original pictures and the reframed ones have almost the same size and quality. However, the quality and size may depend on the capture mode that you have selected.

Phone photos not automatically uploading to my pc

First let me say that photos taken on my and my wife's iPhone 4 have been automatically uploading to my Windows 7 PC for a couple of years. I depend on the function to get all of our photos off the phones and into our family album.
Just a few days ago I noticed that no new photos were appearing in the My Picture/My Photostream folder. After looking around some and finding nothing that seemed out of order I thought it might be related to the only change that I'm aware of and that's the recent iOS7 updates.
Using the procedure/sequence outlined on Apple's support page I removed all of the apply software, including iCloud, rebooted and then reinstalled everything. During the installation I changed the new folder default to point to the old Photo Stream folder that it had previously been using. Still, no photos, old or new, would upload. They were showing up in the Photo Stream album on the iPhone, just not uploading to the PC.
I saw a post that said they had what sounded like the same problem and they fixed it by removing/reinstalling iCloud and accepting the default folders. I did that and it created a new folder called My Pictures/iCloud with a My Photo Stream sub-folder along with the shared photo streams that we use in our family. It also created a system folder that shows up in My Computer called iCloud Photos that has thumbnails for My Photo Stream, Activity (a folder that I never created) and the shared family folder Family. The thumbnail for My Photo Stream shows a couple of pictures that were a couple of the ones that last uploaded. However, when I open the folder it has nothing in it. When I click on either Activity or Family it appears to freeze but after a minute or so it will show boxes with a small x in the upper left corner. Down the right hand side are vertically stacked picture thumbnails for the pictures that I "Liked" on my iPhone. When I click on Info I see that I was invited to share the folder follwed by another line showing that I have subscribed to the folder.
The control panel iCloud app looks fine -- like I think it always has.
I'm at a complete loss. I really want the automatic upload to work again but I don't have a clue what to try next.
I've seen a lot of posts from folks having problems with this since upgrading to iOS7 but I haven't seen any "aha" revelations and/or solutions.
Anybody know how I can get this puppy working again?
Thanks in advance,
Howard

Darn, that didn't fix it for long.
I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Automatic upload feature in Photo Stream

I am confused with the 'Automatic Upload' feature in photo stream within iPhoto. Hopefully you can help.
The way I understand this feature is if I import a photo within iPhoto and the automatic upload feature is enabled, it will automatically put the imported photo into the photo stream such that it will be on all my ios devices. Now this where it gets confusing. In iPhoto I do not see the photo in my photostream event folder. I do see it in photo stream on ios devices)iphone and iPad). In iPhoto the photo is currently in the 'Import' folder. So where does the photo in the import go when I do another import. And...when photo stream d/l's pictures to monthstream folder, will there now be 2 copies of that same picture in iPhoto.
I hope this is clear and you understand what I am trying to decipher.

Thanks for answering.
Cause I have some photos want to do some post processing in ipad via some tools like snapspeed.
It happended to be the recently imported photos. So my work flow is to get the photo from photostream in ipad.
After finishing post processing, it automatically creates a new photo in photostream (which I love that).
And I can easily get the photo in my iMac via photo stream.
That's why I found the resolution changed, cause at first I even want to replace my original one.
So I think if I want preserver the resolution, maybe I can use your way.
Thanks agiain.

I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?

(I tried to just write this as a reply to someone who had already asked the question whos problem was magically solved after posting the question and the site was not allowing me to post to it so here I am)

Additionally, when I try to sort the photos by date to easily extract the newest photos which I have not yet uploaded, it is unable to put them in correct order regardless of the fact that the date is correct. Only the videos end up in chronological order for some reason while the photos stay in order by name.

HT201060 Is there a way to be selective about which photos are automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing photo album?

Family Sharing is set up, and "My Photo Stream" and "iCloud Photo Sharing" features are enabled on all devices. However, I would like to limit which photos are shared in the Family Sharing photo album. Here are two scenarios:
I'm shopping for a gift for my daughter at the store, and I see the item I think she'll like. In Messages I want to snap a photo to send to my wife to get her buy-in (authorization), but when I do this, the photo is also automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing album, and my daughter can see it on her iPod Touch until I delete it from iCloud.
On her iPod Touch, my daughter browses images of kittens and cats, cats and kittens (she's 10), and saves many of them to her camera roll to view later. In turn, our Family Sharing photo album is full of random pictures of kittens.
Perhaps all I need to do is turn off "My Photo Stream", to prevent all photos being uploaded to all devices automatically? And in the event I want to share a photo or an event/moment, I can create a Photo Stream on the spot...?

Probably the best solution is to put your daughter on her own iCloud ID (but under your name since she's under-aged). She can continue to use your ID for iTunes store purchases. If you set her up with a separate iCloud ID, then her photo activity and yours will remain separate.
The Family Sharing feature may not be relevant or helpful in this scenario -- as I understand it, Family Sharing is for the sharing of purchases, not iCloud, and only in situations when family members have separate IDs for purchases but want to also share the purchases from a "central ID" (e.g. Parent's ID)

Over-riding automatic save/copy of "sent" e-mail ??

Is there any way to over-ride (for a single message) the automatic save/copy of "sent" e-mail ?? ie there are occasions when I DON'T want to keep a copy.....

As far as I'm aware, you can choose to either save a copy or not.
This is set up in your Account Settings> copies & folders for the mail account.
I'm not aware of any method that lets you preselect to not save a particular email. Other than changing the Account Settings prior to creating the email and then resetting them again after sending.
The only option would be to save all as auto and delete what you do not want.

Automatic upload/view of photos

I was at a professional photo shoot and everytime the photographer shot a pic with his digital camera, the image automatically uploaded to the Powerbook and displayed full screen. The camera was hard-wired to the Powerbook although I don't know if there was any intermediary device. Anyone know how that's done?

It would have been via another application, usually by the camera manufacturer. It's called 'tethered operation'
Canon - look on the CD for Canon RemoteCapture. On newer models, I thing it's been rolled into FileViewer.
Nikon - this is a function of Nikon Capture, which only comes as a demo- you have to purchase it separately.
Medium-format - most older MF backs can only be used when plugged in, as they have no built-in storage. Newer ones can be used tethered or free.
Some newer consumer cameras can be used tethered via Image Capture, but I've never had a chance to try this.
To get the image into Aperture you can set up a hot folder that will import any new images.

Automatic upload photostream, editing photos

Do I need to turn off automatic upload to photostream while I import and edit photos in iphoto, then turn it back on to avoid getting unedited versions of these photos in the photostream?

Yes, with automatic upload enabled, the photos will be uploaded to the photo stream as soon as you import them. If you want more control, add them manually to the photo stream.

I have iPhoto 11, and whenever I upload photos, it does not automatically split the photos into events.

This causes my photos to not show up in my events. I have to click "Show Event" myself. How do I set it to automatically put the photos into events? Also, once I DO get the pictures into events, then appear at the top, so I have to drag it all the way to the bottom of the events. How do I also set it to put the newest events at the bottom? Sorry if this is confusing....

All photo imported into iPhoto automatically go into a new event. If the photos are coming from a folder on your hard drive or other drive the Event name will be then same as the folder name. Otherwise the event will be titled Untitled Event.
The location of the new event within the other events will be determined by the EXIF dates of the photos being imported and how you have event sorting setup in iPhoto (View ➙ Sort Photos menu option).

How do i only upload certain photos to photo stream?

i dont want every photo i take to be uploaded to photo stream. often times i take photos until i get exactly what i want, so alot of my photos are deleted useless. how do i simply upload the ones i want to backup?

You have no control over this, other than to delete the photos you don't want from your photo stream. New photos are all automatically pushed to your photo stream whenever you device is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
Perhaps more importantly, you can't use iCloud to back up your photos. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, and if you delete them from your phone, they are also deleted from iCloud. Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, but if you delete the photos from your phone, then continue to back it up, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by a backup that doesn't, and they will be lost.
To keep your camera roll photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you need to back up photo stream photos that aren't in your camera roll, save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit (Select in iOS 7), tap the photos, tap Share (the share icon in iOS 7), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then they can be imported to your computer as well.
