How can I stop random photos showing up in photo stream?

I keep getting photos of houses and pictures of women in my photo stream!
My iPod Touch is 4th generation and it's secondhand.
I have just deleted like at least 100 photos that I never took.
How can I stop the photos from being synced into my iPod?

Turn off PhotoStream.
There are three ways that photos can get into your PhotoStream:
- You take photos with your camera or save photos like email attachment on the iPod
- You are sharing someone else's PhtooStream. Go to Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream>Shared PhotoSteams
- You are adding photos to the folder on your computer that you have associated with PhotoStream.Go to your iCloud control panel on your computer and turn off PhotoStream

How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream). To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud. Your mom's phone wont be effected by this. Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.) Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

TS3989 How can I share my Photo Stream with my family?

How can I share my Photo Stream with my family? I have a Macbook Pro and an IPhone, and The Cloud. They have IPhones and Macbooks.

At the moment you cannot share your Photo Stream. Just wait a couple of weeks until iOS 6 and Shared Photo Streams will be released: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#photostreams

HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

Hi there.
I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

Photostream is not a substitute for importing your photos to your computer.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them."
ow many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album.

How can I stop iPhoto from showing Events?

HI Folks,
I've used iPhoto for a long time, and I am just completely frustrated at the existence of "Events."
Every single time I take a photo and import it, I get a new event.
Even worse, I have hundreds of unnamed "Events" because that method of organizing my photos makes no sense at all.
When I import, there are generally multiple "events" documented in one import.
Now I have to spend hours breaking up Events into smaller "Events" just to have it makes sense.
Not very useful.
The worst usability offense with Events, is that iPhoto defaults to displaying the Events page when it opens.
Apple...I don't EVER want to see my photos organized by Events. EVER.
MY questions:
1. Please please tell me how I can remove the Events page completely.
2. If that is not possible, please tell me how I can tell iPhoto to default to showing me the Photos page, NOT the Events page.
3. Also, how can I view my photos on the Photos page without being broken up into events? (Without losing metadata like the date)
Thanks,
-The Craw, former Apple Technical Writer Guy

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
Make sure show event titles is off
and you can merge or split events to make them more useful - you can not "turn them off" since they are just one of several optional views of your photos

How can I stop iCloud photo from looping a failed photo upload?

My mother has an iMac that was mysteriously losing HD space. It turns out that the process called iCloud Photo evidently was trying and failing to upload a corrupt photo that I had inadvertently put in her iPhoto app. Every few seconds a copy of the photo was appearing in the folder named com.apple.photostream-agent. There were 22,000 copies of this photo.
With each failed photo upload attempt, these errors also were logged in console:
1/4/15 7:50:57.709 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: [publisher:didEncounterError:publishingAssetCollections:] Failed to upload asset uqzx6U1gTAi5HumqNsH3YA
1/4/15 7:50:57.808 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: SQL operation failed with code 11
I deleted the photos and restored the HD space after killing the iCloud Photo process in Activity Monitor. Then I removed the photo out of iPhoto.
The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
How can I get iCloud Photo to stop trying to upload this photo?

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

How can I save my photo stream pictures?

So, Apple in it's infinate wisdom has nearly ruined my honeymoon and I'm at my wits end to save what is left of my digital archive of the trip. How on earth can I SAVE my photo stream pictures OFF of an iDevice?? I have 210 pictures that I desperately need to save onto my computer and the only place they exist at the moment is inside the photostream.
Not that it matters, but let me vent... the reason they only exist is in the photo stream is because of Apple's under-prepared servers for iOS5 deployment and a glitch in iTunes that wiped my phone immediately as I plugged it in today (no sync, no confirm, just plug, beep, and then a wiped phone in under 5 seconds).
I lost all of my phone content, which luckilly I'm an exchange user so the most important stuff is always duplicated off the device. But my pictures and video from my week long honeymoon were on my phone and while SOME of them did sync to iCloud, not all of them did (still don't know why THAT is - but that's the next mission) and NONE of my videos were in the cloud. On top of that, no backup has been done by iCloud in over a week even though I have been on wifi and charging several nights on the trip, and all last night once I got home. No backup. Wiped phone. *** Apple.
Where I stand right now is a photo stream full of pictures that I want to save and cannot seem to get to. First thought was that since iCloud is a cloud based service I bet I can log into a web site and see all of my content an save it from there. Nope. This is Apple so of course that option would make too much sense. All I can do from the web portal is look at pretty icons and delete my pictures. I can't even browse them, much less save them. Again, ***.
So next on my now restored phone (from a week old backup) I can see my photo stream and a nice little save button exists. Good, that'll save it to the camera roll and I can copy them off like the other pictures. Nope. I select some pictures, click save, and nothing happens. I select 20 or so pictures, click save, and 2 pictures show up in my camera roll?? Again, *** Apple.
So there is also an option to add the pictures to a new album. Ok, here we go. Select all 210 pictures, add to a new album, and yes it makes a new album. Now to save that album off to my PC... NOPE. The album is nowhere to be found in the file system (where the camera roll pictures live).
Ok, so at least I can now back up my phone so I know that these pictures won't just fall off the iCloud in 30 days. Backup goes fine... and is 30M in size. Son of a...! There is no way that backup includes all those pictures.
I installed the Windows iCloud manager - that sounds like it would let you MANAGE your iCloud content, but nope. You can manage your payment info, and have it stream NEW photos to you, but you cannot get to your existing photos! One last time Apple... W T F.
How can I retrieve photos that are in my photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can do that, select the rectangle with the arrow in it, in the top right hand corner of your photo stream screen and select the pictures you wish to save to your camera roll then tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose camera roll from the options that appear.

What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

How can I stop safari from showing my old entries in a drop down menu?

I want to make it clear that I am not talking about the url bar. I am refering to suggestions within a webpage where stuff is entered (for example online homeowork for college students). I cannot seem to figure out how to stop safari from filling in my old entries.
How can I get rid of this box?

Have you checked the Safari Preferences > AutoFill settings? The Other forms setting is described as follows:

In iOS 8, how can I share my photo stream AND assign different names to each of our devices in Find My Friends?

I'm using the iPhone 5c, and iPad mini, and my wife has a 5c, too. We used to use my iCloud account as the main account on everything, so we could share our photos as we took them. But now in iOS 8, Find My Friends is moved to iCloud. I can't add my wife to Find My Friends, because it lists me on all of the devices. How can I go back to taking a photo and it showing up on her device while allowing us to find each other?

I chatted with Apple tech support. They said [add rolling eyes here] that this is easily solved with the new Family Sharing feature. In other words, I sign in on my phone, my wife signs in on hers, and we share our photos in the Family folder. Of course, no photos are automatically shared in the Family folder. It's just a shared folder, something anybody could have created in iOS 7. I would still have to drag all of my photos and my wife would have to drag all of her photos to the folder in order to share them. Also, I notice that app updates on her phone are strangely being downloaded under her account, so when we make a change, it says the downloaded app will have to be deleted, because it was not downloaded through my account. This Family Sharing thing is a joke. I told the tech support lady that this didn't feel like much of a "feature" at all. She suggested that I provide feedback if I didn't like it, which I did.
So there is no way to do what I'm wanting to do under iOS 8 at the moment. I love Apple products, but wow, iCloud is a disaster at the moment. Just look at all of the people who upgraded to iOS 8 and upgraded to iCloud Drive without understanding the implications. Now they're getting an error message that they need to download Yosemite in order to access their documents, even though Yosemite isn't available to the public yet. Not well planned. In the meantime, we just don't share our photos in exchange for finding each other for lunch.
