Find photos that aren't shared

Aperture photo sharing (via iCloud) is easy to setup but it seems really difficult to maintain.
- it's well-established, it seems, that there is no way to have shared photos automatically pick up subsequent edits.
- not all the photos I selected to share actually got shared. I can't just select the same set to be shared, because then duplicate images of the ones already shared will be added. Is there a way to find photos that are in a given album/project but not shared? At least that way I can just re-add the ones that, for whatever reason, didn't make it the first time (though, it does seem like some photos stubbornly refuse to be shared).
I tried creating a smart album based on photos in a given project but not in project path "icloud" (the shared photos indicate they are in project path "icloud"), but that didn't work. Which makes sense, since they are basically separate photos.
Since it seems shared photos are treated as separate copies in their own "project" I don't think there is a way to figure out which photos are not already shared, unfortunately.
All my photos are jpgs. Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.9.2.

Are you asking about photos in shared Photo streams or about My Photo Stream?
Photos that have been shared successfully are not marked in a special way. The only way to mark them in your Aperture library would be to manually tag them. When browsing the Shared Stream, use the "Show in Library" button, to show the original in your Aperture library. Then add a keyword, or flag, or coulour label it, so you can set up a filter to exclude it.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • Finding Photos that have been saved as Tiff

    I've been using Blurb to make photo books, and love the results. One of the best things, is that it will read my iphoto library without me having to upload the photos to another website. Problem, is it will only read JPEG or PNG images in iphoto.
    It does read my RAW photos as long as I have not edited them, but when I edit the RAW, iphoto saves as 16-bit Tiff. Which I like for keeping the quality of my photos. But then I can't get them in my books. So I've gone back and forth (being the indecisive girl I am) and some RAW are then saved as JPEG, and others as TIFF.
    Now I'm trying to find which ones are TIFF. But I can't find anywhere that shows me what the new file type is after the edit has been done. I made a smart album of RAW, Edited but it will show me both the Tiff, and the Jpeg.
    Anyone know how to find out the file type of an image. I've looked under "Info" and it still lists as RAW.
    I noticed that the TIFF's have a file size of 0, so if there's a way to search for that criteria, that might help too.

    Thanks! For some reason, that won't actually find them. The filename is still .crw, at least what I can see. The search doesn't actually seem to search the "modified" file.
    I wound up actually just looking in the package contents of iphoto, trying to find all files that have a .tif extension and then going back to iphoto to find the matching picture. Not simple, but at least I can figure out which ones are the tiff.

  • Synchronize Folder problem - LR finds missing photos that aren't missing

    A bit of background:
    I decided to dive in and clean up a big 40K catalog I have. This involved:
    Moving images around
    Creating new folders
    Renaming existing folders
    Renaming all photos
    All of this was done within LR to avoid problems. But now, everything is working fine, LR does not complain that there are missing photos EXCEPT when I try to synchronize a folder.
    The strange this is there is no question mark on the images and when I use the Find Missing Photos, LR tells me that there are no missing photos.
    But when I try to synchronize a folder (any), it finds all the images as new images and suggests to remove the missing photos (both matching the exact number of images). Obviously I don't want to do that and loose my edits...
    I found some information here, it seems to be an old bug but no solutions work for me... I really don't want to go back and redo all this work. Is there a magic trick?
    Thanks!

    Thanks but this a completely different problem. You are referring to the "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separated photos" setting that I have unchecked purposely and I do not shoot RAW + Jpeg anyways.
    Your issue is a normal behavior. LR assumes that Jpeg+RAW shooters will only required the RAW to be imported in LR unless you change that setting.
    My problem was a very specific instance where the volume name did not match case with the folder names in LR. As soon as I fixed that, it went back to normal.

  • Photos that aren't mine are in my iPhoto app.

    Recently I went on a vacation with other iPhone users.  While uploading  my photos from the trip to my mac (via my digital camera) I noticed that I had someone else's albums in my events section of iPhoto.  This person was on the trip with me and said her photos weren't syncing with her iPad.  Why are they on my computer now?  If i delete them, will they delete from her device?  Can she see my photos as well?  I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to this kind of problem.  I also would like to prevent it from happening in the future.

    No way to know with details
    what version of iphoto? Of the OS? where exactly do you see her photos in iPhoto?
    One guess is that you have subscribed to a shared photo stream of hers
    Another is that she logged into your iCloud account on her phone and MyPhotoStream is downloading to you Mac
    There are other possibliites but unless you provide details no one can tell or explain how to spot it

  • How can I find photos that are not in any event?

    Help!  I have finally, after a decade or so, organized my events and emptied out the trash and gotten rid of duplicates. Round of applause, please.  How can I find out if there are sneaky pictures that are NOT in any particular event (please dont say by showing all photos and just going through each one!)

    You can't because every photo is in an Event already. That's how iPhoto works. Every photo is in the LIbrary. The Library is built upon events. SO if it's in iPhoto, it's in the Library and in an Event.
    Albums are different, as they refernce photos in the LIbrary. It;s perfectly possilbe to have a photo in the Library but not in an album.

  • Can't find photo that was edited in photoshop in iPhoto

    Hello,
    I do all my photo editing in Photoshop Elements 6. I save the edited photo in the iPhoto library (same place as the original photo), but when I go back to iPhoto, I cannot find the edited photo, only the original. Any idea where it is or how I can view it in iPhoto? I am using iPhoto '08.
    Thank you!

    Ozark:
    Here's how you should be using Photoshop Elements 6 with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • 70 photos that aren't there, but iPhoto and Bridge say they are

    I have an iPhone (first gen) that has a problem. When I plug the iPhone into the computer that it always syncs with, I am unable to get the photos to display correctly in iPhoto.
    The computer thinks there are 70 photos on the iPhone that are no longer on the phone.
    Both iPhoto and Adobe Bridge report the photos as being on the iPhone. However, those photos are not there. And can't be downloaded or deleted.
    But when I plug the same iPhone into a different machine, I see the correct photos and can delete them correctly.
    I'm sure there's just some plist that has to be deleted, but I don't know what.

    Hi Mary,
    Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    Also, make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the cable that came with it. Then disconnect any other USB devices.
    Do the photos show up in the Image Capture? You can find Image Capture in the Applications folder, just launch Finder and click Go(top menu bar)> Applications> Image Capture.
    If they don't try rebuilding the iPhoto library as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

  • Finding photos that are in Photoshop User

    I am not a member of NAPP. I don't have the $100 it takes to join. Where can I find the photos simular to that are used in the magazine?

    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, faces and places 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.
    Regards

  • Can the Find iPhone app find devices that aren't mine?

    So my MacBook Pro was stolen a couple weeks ago out of my rental car while I was in Seattle, WA. I had iCloud on it synced with my iPhone, but never used it or saved anything to it. Someone told me that I could find my stolen computer though iCloud, but when I read up on it it I was under the impression it would only track other devices from a computer, not the other way around. Anywho, I bought a brand new MacBook Pro today and setup iCloud on it. i then downloaded the Find iPhone app for my phone and two MacBook Pros appeared as my devices. My brand new one named "Jeff's MacBook Pro", and the other under somone elses name. A location was given for mine and I was able to lock it and send messages from my phone. The other one could not be located and the messages are still pending to be sent. Is it possible that my MacBook Pro appeared since I still have it registered under my name on apple.com or could this just be someone elses?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Some macs will continue to be tracked even after Find my phone has been disabled, but it has to be turned on first
    Did you enable Find My Phone on your macbook before it was stolen.

  • How can I find photos that have disappeared in i-photo?

    A lot of my photos in i-photo have disappeared, I found them in picasa where I don't want them..How can I get them back to i-photo?
    Can somebody help me?
    Kinni44

    With that amount of information, no.
    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • Attaching photos that aren't embedded

    I read another discussion about the embedding of photos from iPhoto in emails and did as suggested but the photos are still arriving at a local authority system as bitmaps and therefore useless for the putpose to which they are intended.

    yes I can edit, it was suggested that it was because I had cropped that this was happening
    Then I have no idea, sorry. The only way I can get iPhoto to attach empty iPHoto photos files with the size zero, is when the original images are missing from the iPhoto library. But if you can edit your iPhoto images, the originals must be there.
    or drag usually after saving to desk top.
    Are the photos you save to the Desktop o.k.?
    Can you open them in Preview?

  • I can't find photos that were successfully imported! Is there anything I can do?

    I got the successfully imported message and so then opted to delete the photos from my camera.
    However, then when I went back into Iphoto, there were no sign of the pictures!
    I also followed troubleshooting advice on this forum and looked in the Pictures > Iphoto Library > show contents and there is no Import/Importing folder. It did say that my start-up disk was full, so I was simultaneously backing up old photos on my harddrive. 
    I have a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8
    Please help!

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    This question maybe best asked in the iPhoto disscussion here:  https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto

  • Deleting all photos from iphoto without deleting photos that I have 'shared' on social media

    Hello lovely techno wizards!
    I have recently purchased an external hard drive for my macbook air in order to make more room. Therefore I have transferred all of my photographs from iPhoto to the external hard drive and now I would like to delete everything from the iPhoto application. However when I select 'delete all' it informs me that I will also be deleting all the pictures that I have uploaded to facebook, which I do not want to do... I could go through and delete them individually, but I have over 5,000 pictures and only share them sporadically. Please help!

    You're welcome
    I have recently purchased an external hard drive for my macbook air in order to make more room. Therefore I have transferred all of my photographs from iPhoto to the external hard drive and now I would like to delete everything from the iPhoto application.
    To make room on your MacBook Air you could also simply have dragged the iPhoto Library to your external drive and used it from there. You just need to make sure, the external drive has the correct filesystem.
