Found someone else's photos in my iCloud Photo Library?

Hello.  I was just going though my photo library on iCloud.com and I noticed 4 random entries for "Yesterday," stuck in the middle of the Moments list.  Three of them were just blank black photos supposedly taken on a street nearby and another was taken on another nearby street but clearly depicts a pile of clothing and someone's leg I have never seen before.  Is someone else's photo library crossing with mine?  Are other people receiving my photos?  What can be done about this?  It is very, very bad news!

Change the password for your iCloud account. If you have not already done so, turn on two step authentication.

  • HT4436 If someone else has set up an ICloud account (that uses his name in the email address) using my Apple ID, do I have to change my Apple ID to open an account with my name in the email address?

    If someone else has set up an ICloud account using my email address and Apple ID but has chosen his name for the mail name, can I get rid of his name in the [email protected] and put mine in there?  Or do I have to set up a whole new acount with a new Apple ID?  Will I be able to do that with his name already linked to my email address?

    How did he manage to do this? - he would have to have known your password if he was using an existing Apple ID. You should change it immediately to something strong and unguessable. That will prevent him accessing the account or using the email he has set up (assuming he hasn't changed the password and locked you out).
    You can't change the primary @icloud.com address once set up, though you can create additional addresses as email aliases: if he's given this address out you will get his emails but you could set up a Rule to trash them.
    You might to better to create a new ID and iCloud account anyway. To do this you wil need a different non-Apple email address (you could use a free GMail one); or you have the option in the iCloud prefs pane to choose an @icloud.com address and make that the ID.

    Hi Chris,
    You can't get rid of an alert. The least you can have is one that says "none".
    Nevermind, I see you learned how to edit the event.

  • Can someone explain me the difference between iCloud Photo Sharing, My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library?

    This is very confusing. Can someone explain the difference between these 3 options in Photos app.

  • I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • Photos missing in iCloud Photo Library

    I have successfully imported my Aperture Library into the new Photos app on my iMac - 17866 photos and 485 videos.  All seems fine.
    I then turned on the iCloud Photo Library and left it to upload overnight.  18 hours later it says 'Updated Just Now', and seems to have stopped uploading.  However, when I access the library on iCloud.com, it contains 4794 photos and videos only.  I think all the album structure is there, but many of them are empty.
    My Aperture library was a referenced library, with the originals stored in the Pictures folder (not in the Aperture library).  I have read today that referenced libraries will not upload to the iCloud Photo Library.  My library also contains many Photostream imports from other devices - I don't know if these are referenced.
    Can anyone help me with these questions:
    1. If referenced photos will not upload, why have some of mine been uploaded and not others?
    2.  How can I pull these referenced photos into the Photos Library (ie. un-reference them) so that they will upload onto the iCloud Library - if indeed this is the reason they are not uploading.
    Hope this makes sense to someone out there.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Judith

    I think I have found the solution on another thread.  Am consolidating the referenced files which will hopefully solve the problem. A bit puzzling that I didn't get the warning some people mention, that the referenced files would not be uploaded to iCloud.

  • Getting photos back from iCloud Photo Stream

    I just thought I would put this here as a way to fix at least one issue with iCloud Photo Stream. This was on my iPhone 4.
    My kid plugged my iPhone into my wife's computer. It basically put all her information and set up on to my phone. I finally got it all set back up, but none of my photos or videos from photo stream were showing up on my phone. Everything else came back over, mail and contacts, but the photos did not show up. Usage showed that 2.5 out of my 5G still being used so it looked like they are there somewhere, they just wouldn't sync.
    This is how I fixed it. At least somewhat. As of this time my videos have not come back yet, but they were rather large and it may take a while. I will try to update later as to whether they come back or not. All the photos are back.
    > I made sure that iCloud backup was ON, on the iPhone.
    > Turned off Photo Stream sync. This warns you that it will "Delete all photos on your phone". Make sure you dont have anything you care about on the phone currently. If you do, I would backup and then come back. Click Delete.
    > Turned Photo Stream back on.
    > Restart iPhone and plug in so it will be charging and make sure you have a wifi connection.
    It may be that you should restart the phone before turning Photo Stream back on, but I actually turned it back on and then restarted. Anyways, this fixed this particular issue I had. Follow at your own risk .
    I still think its ridiculous that you cannot view photo stream photos on iCloud.com. I really can't see paying for this service with the lack of features and bugginess.

    Are you sure about the videos thing? I have 2.6G used on my iCloud account. The only things being synced were Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find my iPhone. I only had 50 photos. There's no way that stuff takes 2.6G worth of storage space.
    Secondly, I know all about backups. I do Apache webserver support for a very large university. But when something happens spur of the moment that you don't have control over, its very possible to lose stuff. I don't need to be quoted the manual. I was just trying to be helpful and share something that worked for me to get my photos back since there seem to be a large number of people with similar issues.
    Frankly I find Apple's software to be extremely frustrating regarding iTunes and iOS. I have been in IT for 15 years and rarely have I found a software set that is so obtuse as iTunes and iOS. The error messages are NOT clear at all, the manual is equally muddy, and, for example in the case of a "Photo Stream" viewer in the iCloud.com, obvious features are COMPLETELY missing.  I cannot imaging actually paying for iCloud with the lack of features it currently has. For as much money and time Apple spends on researching device user friendlyness, I do not understand why their software is so UNuserfriendly.  I am NOT the only one with this opinion.

  • Is there a way to prevent pictures/video from uploading to iCloud photo library from my iPhone and just have pictures/video from my Macbook in Photos upload to iCloud Photo Library?

    I would like just my imported photos and video in the Photos App to be synced to my iCloud Photo Library, and not the photos and video from my iPhone. Is there a way to do this?

    You can either sync them back to your iPhone is you have them saved on a computer, or you can restore from a backup if you have one.  Those would be about your only options. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Photo albums in iCloud/Photo Stream?

    Hello everybody,
    is it possible to create photo albums in iCloud?
    I would like to have albums of my last trip's photos uploaded into iCloud, so that I can access them from my iPhone/iPad without using up the devices' limited storage space. Uploading photos into the Photo Stream just results into "one big album", without any structure....
    I love the comfort of iPhoto and iCloud and cannot believe Apple is not offering this basic cloud feature.
    Thank you for your help!

    have you looked at a shared PhotoStream for thos photos? that way you can share different sets of photos - much like albums

  • Will the new photos app and icloud photos library support all formats of pics and videos from my iphoto library?

    I will be migrating my whole 200gb iPhoto library 9.5.1 mavericks over to Yosemite iPhoto 9.6.1 and then migrate to the new photos app and hopefully to the icloud.photos online. Does this all support all of my formats such as AVI videos in my iPhoto library. I don't want to lose those through migration. 

    I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
    I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
    The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
    It's driving me insane!!!

  • Photo resolution with iCloud photo-library bèta.

    You guys probably know about the new iCloud photo-library beta version.
    This is what Apple says:
    " iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your iOS device by automatically storing the original high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leaving behind the lightweight versions that are perfectly sized for each device."
    Does this mean that the quality of my photo's is less good then

    Yes it will when storage on the phone will become tight.

  • IPhone photos uploaded to iCloud photos on PC

  • Why am I recieving someone else's email on my iCloud email?

    I set up an iCloud account back when my partner and I purchased our iPad 2.  We recently purchased me a new Retina Macbook Pro and when I set up my mail the icloud account was automatically filled in due to my Apple ID account info. However after it was set up I started recieving emails from three people all with the same last name. 
    How do I regain control of my iCloud account or create a new one and associate it with my Apple ID so I can stop getting email from people I have never met?

    It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
    Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error. As you have their credit card number possibly you could identify the card issuer (you could ask your bank - the first four digits would identify it) and contact them.
    I don't think, given your description, that this is likely to be a phishing attempt.
