Bug in the "Photos" display folder

After updating my iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5, I'm facing the following bug.
If you have more then 7 folders with personal pictures and you enter in the application "Photos", the first folder (Rullino Foto in italian) is hidden by the light gray bar "Album" and then you cannot click this folder.
The only way to overcome this bug is using the application "Camera" and then click in the lower back icon with the last picture you take.
This is an annoying bug that I hope you will fix soon.
Best regards,
Fabrizio

This is a user forum. Apple doesn't read it (well, someone that's a moderator does, but they don't comment and they don't take bug reports from here). You want to file the bug here: http://www.apple.com/feedback
In any event, the bug you mention is known and the trigger for it is not the number of albums (though you have to have enough to require scrolling for it to happen). You can fix it though by leaving the photo-app, double-tapping the home button to bring up the running app list, and removing the photo app from the list (hold your finger on the icon until it jiggles, click the 'x'). Next time you use the photo app, the problem should be gone.

The new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 should display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.

To begin with, in file-explorer (.\system32\explorer.exe) normally, the new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 does indeed display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.
But when one re-parents the explorer window handle to any window handle other than 0000 (desktop's window handle), then the UIRibbon fails to do so.
You might ask 'Who does that ?' and I would say no-one usually, however I use BrightExplorer which
is a great little app that gives me a tabbed file-explorer experience.
Now, this app works fine since Windows 7, but with Windows 8 the file explorer introduced the new UIRibbon in its UI. It's that new UIRibbon that gets confused by what I think may be be caused by the re-parenting that BrightExplorer does
to pull a file explorer session into its tabbed control.
This phenomenon relates to Windows 8 + and is observed only by doing the following steps:
Download BrightExplorer from BrightNewWorlds.com by going here: BrightExplorer,
In the address bar go to This PC,
then go to any other folder and note that the UIRibbon is not keeping track of the changing folder selections.
Does anyone out there feel that they can do something about this, or have advise?
Kind regards,

No photos in the photo stream folder

I don't see any photos on my iPad 2 in the Photo stream folder after I have started to photo app several times. When I disable the photo stream function, restart the iPad and activate photo stream again It works. But only for a moment until I change to another subject like place, face etc. I have no problems with Photo stream on my iPhone, ATV or Mac Mini. Any suggestions?

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

Why does Iphone sync the photo library folder when it is not checked in itunes.

Hi,
I have any iPhone 4 running 4.3.3. iOS. I recently synced photos in iphoto 6 and selected the folders i wanted I wanted to sync in iTunes. after the sync, the folders that i wanted to sync are there, but also the photo library folder is there. I wish to not have the photo library folder there since it is just a duplication of what is in the other folders that i have asked iTunes to sync. Any Suggestions???

Well, actually it is not a duplication. The Photos app stores photos the same way that iPhoto does. All photos synced to your phone are stored in the "Photo Library". The photos you see in the various albums/folders are really pointers to the actual photos which are in your photo library. They are not duplicates, and no you cannot get rid of the Photo Library.

Wanting additional folders within the photo album folder

Hi, i want to create several folders within Photo Albums, ie holiday pics, movies etc etc.
Currently in itunes, i have 'sync photos from' and i have selected iphone (a folder on my desktop on my pc) and have selected all folders and videos. Within this folder, ther are several folders.
When i sync, under photo albums i get 'Photo Library' and this contains 3 photos from my iphone folder on my PC. There are no folders appearing that i have created etc.
If i choose 'slected folders' instead and then select all the folders it displays on itunes, then sync, under photo albums, the photo library vanishes!
Any ideas of how i put some folders on?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me. The latest update (9.3.1) didn't undo the damage. Not crazy about trying to rearrange all the photos back to their original events (if I can find them.....)

My company's Windows7 desktop 95% cannot show up the Photo library folder, any HELP

Please help ~~~~

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto is not designed to network with Windows machines. Does Windows understand Alias files? If so the hack detailed above should solve the problem.
The library format is v6 was a hack too, it was never the intended use of the iPhoto Library Folder that it should be browsed by users or other software.
Now they are in a proprietary format?
No, it's a UNIX package file. Right-Click on the pkg file and choose 'Show Package Contents'... nothing hidden or proprietary there.
Can I export all the photos in one shot to create a mirror of the library so other machine with iLife can see the photos?
Why do that when you can use Sharing?
If you want the other machine to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running. On the other machine, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in her source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running on both machines for this to work.
You can, if you choose, export the lot into a folder, but this won't be updated when you add new pictures or make changes.
If not, how do I go back to iLife 06?
Have you got a v6 library untouched? If so, simply install v6 and use on the v6 library. If you don't have a v6 library, then you'll need to re-install v6 and then create a new library from scratch. v6 cannot read a v7 library.

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

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.
Here is some more information about Photo Stream:

Organizing with the photo library folder on hard drive

I am a teacher, and I was told that I should NOT do any organizing within the actual iphoto library folder on the hard drive b/c this could corrupt my picture files. I do understand how to use iphoto itself as a photo organizer, but it is frustrating when trying to locate a picture for use in a Word document. Therefore, it made sense to me to organize the folder in the hard drive into the same categories as in my iphoto library. Is there an official ruling from Apple on this? Is this not a recommended practice? How in the world can anyone find the photo they need when you can't drag directly from the iphoto library? Thanks for any help you can give me!!

If your photos are properly organized in folders and albums, locating a picture is a snap. In fact, that's precisely where iPhoto shines. I honestly don't understand your difficulty.

Using the finder to muck around in the library is an invitation to bleeding ulcers. This forum has posts daily from users asking for help in undoing the damage they've done to the library. In both the iPhoto "Help" screens and in the Technical Articles available at this site you'll find the words: "If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."

Well, let's say that I want a photo of Uncle Joe that was taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2004. I open iPhoto and open the 2004 folder. From inside "2004," I open the Thanksgiving album and look for Uncle Joe. When I find a pic that I like, I drag it to the desktop (or wherever else I want it) and a copy is made for me lickity split.

My photoobooth photos r no longer in the photo booth folder

the pics r there on the comp... and on the app as well as iphoto.... but cant find the folder where the photobooth photos are. they r not there in the photobooth folder in finder. this is after i upgraded to osxlion

Hey there Trishna51,
It sounds like you are seeing your photos grouped together by date, rather than the view you are used to seeing. From what you are describing, it seems like you are seeing either the Moments, or Collections view in the photos app. You can switch to the Camera Roll view in Albums located at the bottom of the Photos window:

TS3989 Photos that I load on my PC to the Photo Stream folder, do not appear on my iPad. If I take a photo on my iPad, it does appear on my computer. I have set the options in iCloud to the appropriatefolder on my PC. How do I make it work?

Photos that I have uploaded to my PC do not appear on my iPad. It worked once and no longer works. I have selected the appropriate folder on my PC in the icloud control panel options. Photos that I take on my iPad appear on my PC so I know icloud is working in that direction. What can I do to make it owrk from PC to iPad? At the Apple store, I was told to uninstall iCloud, but when I selct the program, it does not give an uption to install.

This worked for many of us but not all. I uninstalled icloud, restarted my pc and reinstalled icloud from the apple site. Make sure you check and apply photostream from the icloud panel.

Must be a bug in the Score display

This is a continuation of my exploring the problem previously posted re the display of all instruments in a 2 track score (see previous topic).
I tried a new experiment and am now convinced it is some kind of bug. Here is what I did:
1. Closed LE8. Trashed the Logic Express preferences in Home/Library/com.apple etc. Emptied trash and restarted LE8.
2 Started a brand new composing project: 2 software instrument tracks. Chose from the library: flute for track 1 and classical guitar for track 2.
3. Entered a few notes in each track using the step input keyboard. I then opened the score view and voila! there were both tracks. The All Instruments dropdown menu was showing as selected.
4. Then I selected one of the tracks to view the settings, and the score view reverted to a single staff again! I changed NO preferences or selections, other than clicking on Track 1 or 2.
5. This has got to be a bug. Any ideas???
Herb

Err, so where's the problem, Herb?
It's normal that Logic just displays one staff if you select a track. Just double click somwhere on a "blank piece of paper" inside the score window, and you'll be switched back to all instruments.

The photo displayed does not match the "film strip" shown below

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have started to spend some time with iPhoto, creating events an tagging, naming faces etc. trying to finally put some order against my photo collection and everything has been great until yesterday I noticed that the picture I was working on was different to the 'film strip' images below. Infact, the film strip images related to a completely different event....
Firstly, Is this something I need to worry about?
And wether it is or isn't something I need to worry about, how can I fix it?
But also, I can see some photo's in the film strip, but when I click on them they appear in the 'main' photo area as blank, in fact there is a kind of greyed out warning triangle with an exclamation mark there. Where have those photo's gone, and why can I still see them in the film strip if I have stupidly deleted them (I hope I haven't by the way!)
I've tried "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions" and rebuilding the thumb prints, but neither fixes these problems.
(I've also done the close, re-open iPhoto and reboot the laptop scenarios!)
Can anyone help me please? Any, and all advice welcomed!
Thanks in anticipation

Oh - it's iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 I'm using and I'm running it on a MacBook Pro running Max OS X 10.7.3

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
