How do I get Photo Stream to only import photos from my phone and not push photos to my phone.

Hi
Just purchased an Imac (first time mac user) and imported all my photos from my PC.  I have been using photo stream on my phone and ipad and like it.  The problem is, as far as I can tell, that I have added thousands of photos to the Imac and it now consider those to be new additions.  It is sharing those photos to my phone and Ipad and filling both up very quickly.  Is there a way that I can only stream photos from the phone to Iphoto on my imac and not from the imac to the phone?  I realize that in 30 days, this should correct itself, but for the time being it is a huge hassle.  Im sure there is some setting in iphoto that will alleviate my problem

If you have a mac....
launch iPhoto
click the word "iPhoto" beside the apple, and select "preferences / photo stream"
what synces, is listed here
uncheck what you desire, and simply close iPhoto.  It will save the changes
Also......
Click the apple / system prefences / iCloud - if you wish to stop "photo stream" completely, you can uncheck it here.

  • How do I get pdfs to open in IE 9 from web links and not in Acrobat Pro 10.1.12

    We are unable to open pdfs in IE9 browser for our users with Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 installed as these files open in AcrobatPro instead. Works fine for those users with Adobe Reader installed.
    I have checked in IE that the add-ons are enabled (Adobe PDF, Adobe PDF Conversion Tool, SmartSelect Class, + Adobe Reader[via the Run without permission list] as per the link Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
    OS is MS Windows 2008 Server R2 + Citrix.
    NB Adobe Pro Preferences\Internet\Web Browser Options\Display PDF in browser is disabled to I can't change this.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi Howie-G,
    You might need to refer this kB file and troubleshoot the same:
    Can't view PDF on the web
    Also, you might go to registry (Wind+R->type regedit) and navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Then, please check that correct default data value is set to the path where Acrobat is installed.
    The default installation value is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.1\Acrobat\AcroRd32.exe" (Check for your PC)
    Please let me know if that worked for you.
    Regards,

  • How do I get old purchused songs that were deleated from my account and my liberary?

    How do I get old purchused songs that were deleated from my account and my liberary?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

    I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
    After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message.

    How do I get dictation I know when I want the word period and not a full stop.

    Try the alternatives: "point," "dot," and/or "full stop." Do any of these options produce a period for you? And, as a different punctuation test, does something such as "comma" work for you?

    I had a similar situation.  My credit card bill shows a charge on Sept 8 and Sept 9, both for $55.99.  I called Apple but they said that I was the victim of identity theft so I cancelled my credit card.  They have not refunded my money.

  • I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

    I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
    Thanks

    Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.

  • How can I get my laptop to recognize my iTouch as an iPod and not a camera?

    I am using a newly bought Inspiron N5110 from Dell that runs on Windows 7. I want to tranfer my music from my iPod to this compter but can't do this. When plugged in, the computer recognizes the iTouch as a camera and not an iPod. It is recognized under my devices on my iTunes but when I look through my "Devices and Printers", it is clearly seen as a camera. I cannot access the music on my device--only the photos.
    When I try updating the device driver as many sites have suggested, my computer says the device's driver is up to date and I cannot change it.
    I have tried, several times, to uninstall and reinstall the driver but nothing works. Can anyone suggest something to fix this?

    This may be of Help...

  • How can I get iCloud purchases that I've deleted from my computer to NOT show up with the new iTunes?

    I've downloaded a lot of free indie music through itunes, and itunes has graciously stored all of my purchases on iCloud.  The thing is, I deleted A LOT of that music from my computer, but not from iCloud, and now it's all showing up again.  Is there a way I can get rid of the stuff I've deleted, without doing it one by one?

    I had a similar problem when I updated to iTunes 11. The problem seems to have been solved by doing the following:
    Edit > Preferences > Store. Then unclick "Show iTunes in the Clous purchases". I hope it works!

  • How do I get address bar to go directly to the site addressed and not search

    I use the address bar to go directly to sites. Yahoo interprets my input as a search request and delivers the same mess of options that a search bar would provide. I want the address bar to only connect to the site for which I type in the address. If the address I type in cannot be found, all I want is a notification of that fact.

    Let's start by turning off address bar search.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''keyw''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''keyword.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    Then test again with a nonsense URL. Do you get the expected error?
    If instead you get search results for that or for any one word (space-less) search, then those results are a feature provided by your DNS service provider, which often is your ISP. Check the results page for any way they might offer to discontinue the service and just get plain error messages.

  • I had the iPhone 5 for a while and my Macbook Air was sending me the incoming messages from that phone, however I just upgraded to the 6 Plus and was wondering how I can get my laptop to recognize the messages from this phone now on iMessages.

    Okay so my Macbook Air has always allowed me to receive iMessages from my iPhone 5 to my computer. So basically I could use both to text.. However I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus and I would like the same to happen again with my new phone, but I don't know how. How can my incoming iMessages from my new iPhone 6 plus show up on my laptop?
    -I see all the messages from my old iPhone there, but I would like to know how to set it up so that i can view the messages from my new phone.

    Hi,
    If you are signed onto the same iCloud/Apple ID for Messages, then the second number should have been registered with your Messages on the Mac at the time it was verified.
    To check this, open Messages on the Mac, click on Accounts, and see if the number is displaying and checked. If it is not, Sign out of Messages on your new device and then sign on again.
    Again, phones need to be signed onto the same Messages account that you have set up in Messages.
    Cheers,

  • How can I get iTunes to convert my songs to MP3's again and not this AAC version. I need them in MP3's for my spicing software.

    I use a spicing program that does not support iTunes.  I need to be able to convert my songs to MP3's.  I was able to do that from my old laptop but now that I have a new one and everything is converted to the new one I noticed that the MP3 is not on there it is now AAC.  Does anyone know how to convert to MP3's now?  I am in the same version of iTunes but it is not the same.  ODD and FUSTRATING!!

    Change the default encoder to MP3. iTunes will then give you the option to convert any unprotected file in your library to MP3; this won't work with very old iTunes Store purchases.
