How do i save photos in iphoto but not in photo stream

When I take photos with my iphone, it saves a random number to the photo stream. For instance, if I take 5 photos, they all go to the photo stream on my iphone, but on my Mini, one might appear, or more, it is seemingly random. I want to save them all to my hard drive on my Mac mini. Deleting them from photo stream deletes them permanently, from everywhere. Sometimes it saves the random number to an event in iphoto, sometimes not. When it does this, deleting them from the photo stream may or may not delete them from the event. Again, it appears random. I want to save photos, and have access to them, without keeping everything in photo stream. How do I do this?
The problem is that saving seems to be completely random. I have vacation photos that I don't want to lose.

They should all be in the Photo Stream. Sometimes it taks a while for the PS to refresh itself. In your iPhoto library set the Photo Stream preferences to
This will automatically import any photo added to the Photo Stream into your iPhoto Library.
If waiting for a while for the PS to refresh itse'f doesn't show all of the photos taken the try the following:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
Rebooting your iPhone can also help.

How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

If the item is in your iTunes library then it is already saved.
With the iPod plugged in then select the items that you want to sync to the iPod. You can sync your entire library to the iPod - space permitting - or just selected content.

Photos in iPhoto but not Finder???

I've spent hours looking for photos in Finder to no avail... What the ****?

There are some of my photos in the pictures folder, the path being "my name" > pictures > date > image...
but on 1/31/10 the path changed to "my name" > pictures > iphoto library > originals > year > date > image...
That would be if you imported them into iPhoto - t copies the imported photos to the originals folder in the iphoto library - it does not delete (or otherwise change) the source photo - it just copies it
I can only see all of them by searching .jpg in Finder...
You do not see them in the iPhoto window when you are using iPhoto?
I'm trying to evaluate Lightroom & Aperture and can't even get them moved over since the ones I want to experiment with are recent photos...
Aperture can import directly from the iPhoto library - for Lightroom select the photos in iPhoto and export them then import them into Lightroom

I can read NEF and RAW photos in iPhoto but not Aperature. What's up ?

How do I read and print NEF and RAW files ? Aperature is saying that the file format is incorrect but iPhoto reads them fine.

What is your Aperture version, Mac OS X Version, and your camera model?
The raw support is specific for each camara, and it will depend on you Aperture version, if the raw support is available.
See this list for the raw formats, that are supported in Aperture.
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Is your iPhoto version newer than your Aperture version? If both versions are current, they should be able to read the same raw formats.

I couldn't drag my photos from iphoto to my desktop or folder so I rebuilt from automatic backup and some photos were saved but not the photos that I need. what do i do?

I have a macbook pro and I updated iphoto to the latest version, last night.

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Photos in album but not main photos?

I will import my photos and they go directly into an album, not my main photo area! HELP

How are you importing? Importing to an Album is quite a deliberate act.
Also, in iPhoto, every photo is in the Library, and therefore, every photo is in an Event.
Right click in a pic and select 'Show Event'

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

You have a number of things that will make this not work.
Your mailto link is not the way to go, take a look at this and it should get you on the right path.
http://www.paulgdesigns.com/learncontactform.php
On your action page, you can have it give the thank you message that you want. Having a seperate page saying they forgot to do something complicates matters more than you might wish at this point, and usually irritates people. however if you decide you want to go that way, look up "sticky forms". What this does is re-populate the fields when they have to go back to correct.
A better way would be to validate the information, you can use Spry if you want which is built into dreamweaver.
You also have in your html form this
enctype="multipart/form-data"
That is used for sending files, and since you are not, the form would not work, so you want to remove it.
Hopefully that will give you a starting point.

I delete photos from iPhoto but after backing up my computer they are back! How do I stop that?

I delete photos from iPhoto but when I back up my computer the library rebuilds them!

After I do a backup it rebuilds the iPhoto.
How do you back up and what is the "it" that rebuilds iphoto? Do you mean this process of arching/deleting? It may have damaged your Library.
Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
Going forward: another way of archiving:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.
