How do I export photos from PHOTO STREAM to my PC?!?!?!
Ok, so I am a Newbie when it comes to iphones, itunes, icloud and what not. And I have a question NO ONE seems to know the answer to.
iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1
I want to know how to transfer my Photo Stream (NOT ALBUMS/CAMERA ROLL PICTURES!) to my PC... I delete my album photos when they get too full because I see that it doesn't delete in my Photo Stream. I downloaded the iCloud back up on my PC and I can see the Photo Stream album in my Files but ALOT of pictures are missing!!! How do I get my pictures?! How do I export my PHOTO STREAM?! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!
You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

Since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3 and iPhoto updating to PHOTOS I can't export any of my photographs to an external editing suite. Help please .
If you think that is bad, think about my situation. The dumb down version of Photos in no way what so ever satisfies my needs so I am now being forced to evaluate non-Apple replacements for Aperture.
Please do go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and express your displeasure where Apple will see it. That is the only way they will know about your dissatisfaction with what they are doing because they don't read these forums. -
How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto
Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
Thank you for any help!!
Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service...If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream, the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

How can I move photos from photo stream to an Album?
I want to rearrange photos in my photos into Albums. Can someone tell me how to move photos from photo stream into Albums?
The trick is to move the photos to Camera Roll first then to individual albums. Used to go direct but not on the 5s - or least that's the best I've come up with.

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?
How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???
See if any of this info will help:
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.
Click to view full size
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
Click to view full size
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 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: 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.

How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad
How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad
I had no trouble finding the "Export" tools in the "File" menu. They are greyed out when no photo is selected, but they are functional after selecting one or more photos.
I agree that it would be nice to have the "Reveal in Finder" option back, but they probably don't want us mucking about inside the Photos library structure. -

How risk is to add photos from 'Photo Stream'-
How risk is to add photos from ‘Photo Stream’ direct to an album on iPad without ‘save to camera roll’ first?… sometimes it works sometimes not. I’m confused.
I got it… Select all photos from an album, then ‘share’ to iCloud… create a ‘Stream Name’ and email me… Is this the best way? I think it’s great… I didn’t get about the iTunes sync, I’m afraid, I already lost photos in that way…
thanks -
im having a prob on how to tranfer all my photos from my ipad including the photostream and completely delete all my photos in my ipad,,help,,
im having a prob on how to tranfer all my photos from my ipad i
To transfer your photos:
Transfer and erase the Camera Roll:
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture.
Select your iPad in the Devices list and click "Import all".
When the import finishes, you can erase the contents of the Camera Roll, if you want. That would be the quickest way, but deleting it on the iPad in the Photos.app would be safer, but more work.
Delete photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Delete the Photo Stream contents:
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your Photo Stream the same way you delete other photos from your device. Just select the photo you want to remove and tap or click Delete.

You will need to manually delete photos you downloaded to iOS devices running iOS 5.0.1 or earlier after updating to iOS 5.1. -
HT204022 How do I remove photos from Photo Stream from my iPhone 4s?
I am trying to delete some of my photos from Photo Stream on my iPhone 4s running on 5.0.1 When I mark the pictures on the phone that I want to delete there is no option to actually remove them. Is there a way that this can be done and if so how do I go about doing this? can I do it from the phone directly or do I have to go through iTunes? If I have to do it through iTunes how do I also do this?
Many thanks for all your help,
Shosh
<Email Edited by Host>You should be able to open you my photo stream folder in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.

How to re-download old photos from Photo Stream after computer stolen?
Hi, my laptop PC was stolen with several thousand of my pictures in it. Unfortunately, I hadn't kept a backup. Fortunately, iCloud Photo Stream kept a backup of the last 1,000 pictures for me. I can see those pictures in Photo Stream in my iPhone. A got a new laptop, I installed iCloud Control Panel, and it created a Photo Stream folder. It downloads the new pictures I take today. But it doesn't download the 1,000 old pictures. How can I download those old pictures?
I found a hack. Go in the My Photo Stream Album in the iPhone. Click Edit. Select the photos. Click Share to open the menu of options. Here I tried both options: Copy and Save to Camera Roll; I don't know which option is the one that actually worked. Then I went to the Camera Roll Album in my iPhone and the iPhone started copying photos from Photo Stream to the Camera Roll Album. I had to do this back and forth between Copy/Save and PhotoStream/CameraRoll a couple of times until the copying picked up; I don't know what are the distilled steps. Then I connected my iPhone to the laptop and saved the files as usual. I had to do this tedious process in chunks of hundreds as the iPhone was unable to get the 1,000 photos at once. That's how I was able to download all my photos from Photo Stream. Also, Photo Stream doesn't seem to remember the original filenames so the images are re-numbered.
