How do I get iPhoto to stop pulling from two photo streams?

My iPhoto library is saved on an external hard drive and I've opened it on 2 separate macs and each mac has it's own separate account linked to it, now my iPhoto is pulling photos from 2 separate photo streams. How do I fix this?

First be sure to have a current backup copy of your iPhoto Library.  Next go into the System/iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Photos checkbox:
Next, go into iPhoto's iCloud preference pane and uncheck all checkboxes:
Close iPhoto and reboot your Mac.  Then return to the System/iCloud preference pane and check the Photos box and do the same in the iPhoto/iCloud preference pane, i.e. check the 3 checkboxes shown in the screenshot above.

    how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

    Click "More Info", not "o.k.".
    Then open the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab and remove the "Mobile  Me" account, if it is still there.
    Quit iPhoto.
    Check, if "Mobile Me" is still enabled in the System Preferences > Mobile Me panel (if you still have this panel). if yes, sign out.
    Log off and on again.
    Test, if iPhoto still is bugging you to transfer your Mobile Me content. If yes, you need to delete your iPhoto Preferences from your User Library.
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    And also remove the file
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/mmsunset.plist
    from the Caches in the User Library - this file contain the end date of Mobile me.

  • How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

    How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums?  I don't have any! I never did!!!  The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

    When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
    Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
    Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

  • How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

    As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?  I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
    I want to get it back, any suggestions?
    Thanks again!

    what means ..."Once you open the Aperture library back into Aperture..."? What do I need to "klick" in order to getting back my old Aperture Project structure....

  • How do you get photostream to stop trying to upload photos, even after resetting it.

    I am trying to stop photostream from uploading my photos.  I've gone into iCloud and reset photostream several times.  Each time I go back to iPhoto, it starts uploading the photos again.  It is continually running on the computer.  Any suggestions would be great.

    Hi stritzmom,
    If you want to turn off the photostream feature, you can do so by going on your iOS device in the Settings > iCoud and switch off photostream.
    The reset in iCloud is to, well, reset the photostream.

  • Downloading a movie from i-tunes, it won't stop downloading from i-tunes but it is already downloaded to my i-pad how do you get it to stop downloading from i-tunes?

    Downloading a movie from i-tunes, it won't stop downloading from i-tunes but it is downloaded on my i-pad. What do I do to stop it?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If those don't work - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>Store and sign in again.

  • How do you get your pictures to not go to photo stream

    Is there a way to get your pictures you take or save to not go to both your camera roll and photo stream? I feel like it's taking up doubt the space that it doesn't need to be that I could also be using for something else.

    Also:
    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.
    How 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. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.

  • How to I get iPhoto to stop opening in fullscreen mode?

    Every time I open iPhoto, it opens in fullscreen mode. It's as if there is a setting that has been set for it to do it(though I've checked the settings and there's no such thing). I usually exit fullscreen mode in the usual way and it cooperates, but then sure enough, the next time I open it up, it's in fullscreen mode again. Additionally, perhaps it is linked to this problem, everytime I open iPhoto, it tells me that "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your[my] library" and that I should "click Repair to avoid any potential problems". I've clicked repair numerous times but it still gives me the same message the next time I start the program. I've tried deleting the iPhoto plist file and that has not helped either.
    Another side note that may be similar is that Terminal always opens in fullscreen just like iPhoto.

    Alright, I fixed the problem!
    A more in depth description of the process, some credit for its origins, why it works, and how else you can use it can be found here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17269094#17269094
    But basically, you do the following:
    1. Navigate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/"
    2. Find "com.apple.iPhoto.savedState"
    3. Move it to the Trash
    4. Launch iPhoto
    Also, to solve the issue involving "Repairing" the Library, I had to navigate to the file "iPhoto library" (in ~/Users/dro8654/Pictures) and edit its "Sharing & Permissions" preferences such that only MY user was allowed to "Read & Write"
    This discussion was what helped me with this:

  • How do you get iPhoto to STOP "UPDATING"?

    I am getting worried that the new 9.3 is totally messed up. It asks you to upgrade, but then it never finishes upgrading. You just get that never-ending spinning spokes.
    I have this on my MacBook Air. That photo library is minimal, but I am worried that it will torch my main photo library on my iMac. Yes I have backed up stuff, but this is a MAJOR pain because that's about 11,000 to 12,000 photos.

    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.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again

  • How do you get iPhoto to stop autocropping/zooming photos within a frame?

    I have hundreds of odd shaped images and I don't want to have to manually "fit to frame" hundreds and hundreds of images?
    Can I turn off the autocropping or zooming function so Apple uses my  actual picture dimensions?  Or at least is there a way to batch "fit to frame"?  Thanks for any help!  Scrapbook we must deal with issue all the time.
    Cheers,
    Lorili

    If you're referring to iPhoto books and photos in the frames on the page there is a Fit Photo to Frame Size option.  Command (right)-click on the photo on the book page and select Fit Photo to Frame Size from the Contextual menu:
    An extreme example of it is shown here:

  • How do I get iPhoto to import & store from the camera roll?

    Under iOS 6, it was possible to import photos from camera roll to iPhoto, where they were stored, even if they were deleted from the camera roll.
    Now, iPhoto has access to the entire camera roll, and I don't see a way to import into iPhoto.
    My goal is to have a copy of the photo in iPhoto, but at the same time, delete it from camera roll.
    Is this possible under iOS 7?

    My iPhoto is v. 4.0.3.

  • How do I get Messages to stop sending from my email address instead of my phone number?

    I've had several people tell me that texts I've sent from my iPhone have been showing up as <myemailadd>@mac.com instead of my phone number. It started doing that under iOS7. I don't want my email address sent with my phone-originated texts. I don't want my email address broadcast to people that shouldn't have it.
    So what do I need to change to make sure that phone texts originate from my phone number, home texts show my email address, and both are viewable on both my iPhone and iMac?

    I think its fixed. I had to sign iMessages in on my Apple ID, but then deselect my email addresses to make it behave the way it should. Now if I could get iMessage to only send response alerts to the last device I used, instead of late night texts going to every device I own in the house and waking everyone up.
    For some reason, the free iCloud address I automatically received (when Apple was trying to force people to leave Mac.com) is "hardwired" into iMessage. People were also getting texts from that address even though I was on my phone. I tried to delete it but iOS tells me I can't. I don't use that address, I won't ever use it, too bad I can't make it go away.
