Dragging from PhotoStream to an album

How do I do that? My computer just doesn't want to.

That really shouldn't be a problem, it works for me. Have you tried using the share option in the bottom right corner of iPhoto whilst the photos you want to add from photo stream are selected.

  • How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    When I click on PhotoStream in iPhoto, I have two "categories":  My Photos, and Family and Friends Photos.  Under My Photos I have the following albums:  "My Photo Stream", "Miscellaneous", "Grandchildren", and "Family Photos".  All photos that I move from anywhere else automatically go into 'My Photo Stream".  I would like to move (or copy) some of the photos from "My Photo Stream" into one of the other three albums.
    Hope I have done a better job of explaining my situation.  Thanks again for your help.  Dick

  • IPhoto - Can no longer drag photos from Library to created Albums..

    Up until last week I had no problem dragging photos from my Library to Albums I'd created on the right side. All of a sudden I can no longer drag photos and have to put photos in Albums by clicking on desired photos and creating Album with + button on bottom right corner. Why doesn't it let me drag photos anymore??

    HI gkkennedy and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    I can't tell you why this is happening but I can offer up a possible solution. Sometimes the preference folders associated with applications become corrupted. Here's how to fix that. Locate this file and drag it to the Trash: com.apple.iPhoto.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch iPhoto and see if you can drag photos from the Library to an album ... Don't worry... your Mac will create a new preference file for you.

  • Dragging From Smart Albums Has No Effect

    It appears to be impossible to drag versions from a smart album to, for example, a book or web gallery. In order to get such a version to appear in the target gallery or book, it appears to be necessary to drag from the a project or regular (not smart) album.
    Have other people had this experience. This is an irritating bug.

    Hi Roy,
    I am able to easily drag an image from a Smart Album to a book album or a web gallery.
    If you continue to have trouble with this, you might want to delete the Aperture preference file (after noting your settings in Preferences) and/or rebuilding your Aperture Library by holding down Option and Command while starting Aperture. You'll want to backup your Library first.
    BTW, it seems prudent not to call something a bug until it has been reported by several people.

  • When I import photos from Photostream into my iPhoto, it no longer organizes them into Events. I haven't been able to creat an Event since November 2013.

    When I import photos from Photostream, iPhoto no longer organizes them into Events. Although I can organize my photos into old or newly created Albums, I haven't been able to create an Event since November 2013. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Flag the pic(s) and select the the Target Event and go Events -> Add Flagged Pics to Selected Event
    i see how to do this
    Drag the selected pic(s) to the target Event.
    i'm struggling with this. i don't see a way to drag a pic from photostream direct to an event. if i'm in photostream, i can drag a pic, but i can't see any individual event to drag it to. i can dump it in Events in the sidebar and drag to an event from there, but that's a bit clunky.
    beats me why i can copy a pic in photostream, but iphoto won't allow me to paste in an event???

  • How do I copy photos from Photostream to an event in iPhoto on my iMac?

    OK, it looks like photostream is working as it has imported photos from my iPhone to the folder called Photostream in iPhoto on my iMac.
    Now, I want to copy some of these photos and paste them into certain existing events I have already created.  I can highlight the ones I want, and copy from the menu, but when I go to the event I want to place them into it doesn't allow me to paste them.
    Can someone give me the step by step instructions I should use to copy/move photos from the Photostream folder to an event folder on my iMac?
    Thanks!

  • How to delete images or photos from Photostream

    Is it possible to delete images or photos in Photostream? If yes, how to proceed?

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream on my devices?
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

    Hopefully someone can help me with my question.  When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • Showing only key photo from events within an album using iphoto 11

    I'm using iphoto 11 and want to show only the key photos from events in an album. I don't want to see every photo from every event in the album, I only want to view the key photos from each event in the album. When I drag the event into the album every photo from each event is shown in the album.
    I do have some events in an album with only the key photo showing but can't get all the events to display this way in the album. Any suggestions?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Importing from Photostream

    my HD crashed and required a full erase/re-install.  because I am such a dummy, I had my previous iPhoto library on the HD itself, and not on my external HD.  moreover, I wasn't using TM for ongoing backup.
    what I am left with is an iPhoto library that is a few months out of date.  luckily (?), I only use my iOS devices for picture taking these days, and so I am hoping that PhotoStream will be my salvation here.
    here is the problem - I see the photos in photostream on my iOS device.  I do NOT see those photos when I click on Photo Stream within iPhoto.  Guessing that since I already imported them previously to the now erased iPhoto library, they are no longer showing up for import now.
    so, I guess my initial question is, what is the most efficient way for me to import the photos resident in iCloud to my new iPhoto library given the fact that they are not showing up automatically for import?  is there a way of accessing the files within iCloud so that I can just copy them into iPhoto?
    I'll hang up and listen, thanks.

    Here's what I've figured out....
    For me, there's no real reason to have an Event called "Photostream May 2012" (or whatever the case may be). I think it just ends up taking up hard drive space and kind of ruins the flow of photos events I have in iPhoto.
    BUT, I do like the ability to take photos on my iPad and then import them into iPhoto without having to connect my iPad physically to my iMac.
    SO, I simply go into Photostream and select a group of photos that I would consider one "event" and drag them to "Events" at the top left section of iPhoto. This imports the photos into the "May 2012 Photo Stream" event (or whatever the name of the Photostream even may be that month.)
    I then create a new event (Event-->Create Event), and drag and drop that Photostream into the new event. The new event is now a separate, individual event, not a Photostream event which can cause issues when you want to later import additional Photostream photos into iPhoto.
    If you have multiple events you want to import, basically do the same thing. You can either split them in the Photostream event or split them from within the new event.
    Until Apple changes the functionality of how a new event is created when you drag a set of photos from Photostream into iPhoto, I think we will have to use these additional steps. (I also think this is one of the reasons why the there is a function called "Create Event". At this time, I can't think of any other reason why that command exists.)

  • HT201272 How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The album shows as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized devi

    How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device.  I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist?  Driving me crazy.

    How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist?  Driving me crazy.
    I listen to primarily classical music
    All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
    iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist.  I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
    Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
    Any help?

    Purchased or ripped media?
    If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
    In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

  • HT201317 how can I save pictures from photostream to my pc that I already took

    I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I can't seem to find an answer (that I am willing to accept!).
    I have an Iphone, Ipad and PC.
    My iphone and ipad both have photostream (about 650 pictures each), and the camera rolls only have about 100 pictures each.  I am not sure why my photostream has more pictures, possibly the photostream is the culmination of my iphone 4 and 5.  I do not normaly sync with itunes with a cable on my PC.  I do have icloud, and it has about 5 gigs full. 
    There are a bunch of pictures in photostream that I want, so that I can make a photoalbum with shutterfly, etc.  However, when I try and save or email the pictures from photostream to myself, the file size is under 1 meg. (640k), but the pictures should be 2 megs+.  From reading posts, it seems that Apple adjusts the size to display on apple devices.  Also, I have seen where photostream can automatically download pictures to your pc in their original format, but this feature is for going forward, not prior pictures taken. 
    However, my challenge is to be able to access previously taken pictures, in their original file/quality size, to save to my PC.
    Is their a computer program, or something else?  I seemed to read that "maybe" if I had a MAC with iphoto, that it might let me import from photostream in original format, but even that was not 100%.
    Please help, as these are pictures were taken over several months time, and I need to put them in a photo book for a friend.
    I am willing to do anything, even buy a MAC, if I can just get my photos off of photostream (or icloud), in their original size and glory.
    Thanks so much.

    Photos are downloaded to a computer from an iPhone similar to the way a digital camera works. Using iCloud to transfer photos to a PC requires the iCloud Control Panel. Read this article for more help on both methods:
