How to include photo descriptions in iCloud sharing?

When I share photos to iCloud, I find that the online album (stream) does not include any photo descriptions I have added in iPhoto (or any other "metadata" for that matter). As a workaround I have manually added a comment to each shared photo, with the text description being the description pasted from iPhoto, but that's a huge pain.
Has anyone found a better way to include photo descriptions in their iCloud shared photo streams?
I know iPhoto (I'm using version 9.5.1) does export this info, because if you export a photo and view its attributes in Finder, you'll see the metadata. It's pretty annoying because if you spend time adding custom titles, descriptions, tagging faces and places, it would be nice for some of this to be included in photos you're sharing with friends and family.
Thanks!

I'll close this thread by mentioning the more drastic workaround I'm going with: not using iCloud for sharing when I need a lot of descriptions and other metadata. I'm planning to export from iPhoto, including title and keywords, and then post on Google+, which seems to read the metadata from the JPGs.
If you are going to export from iPhoto anyway, you can send the photos using the Photo Stream as well. When you are sharing via PhotoStream, the Photo Stream will transfer the EXIF and IPTC tags embedded in the original file. Only, there are two problems with the embedded EXIF and IPTC tags:
The way you are seeing the photos in the PhotoStream album is misleading. The Info panel in the Photo Stream view simply is not showing the tags that are embedded in the photo. The only visible metadata are the filename. You will see the embedded metadata however in the Info panel, when you import the photo from the Photo Stream album to an event.
And the Photo Stream will not add cations and titles to the shared images, that are not yet part of the original image file and only part of the edited version. But any tags embedded in the original file will transfer.
As a simple work-around to share the titles and keywords, export the images and use the titles as filenames. Then reimport and send via Photo Stream.

How can I automatically include photo descriptions when creating a book through iPhoto so that I don't have to type them all again?

I am scanning hundreds of old photographs onto my iMac and including descriptions when I import them to iPhoto. When I have created a book as a test, the photo descriptions are not automatically included. I don't want to have to add captions to the book I've created so how do I automaticaly include each description with the photograph?

There are no themes that automatically add descriptions that have been added to the photos. The Folio theme will pickup the file name and user name of the account
but not the description.

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream). If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore. But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How to download photos to my icloud

how to download photos to my icloud

Hello kmidgette,
It sounds like you would like to use the Photo Stream function of your iCloud account. This article will help you get photo stream set up.

If you were looking for more of a backup solution take a look at this info:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.

How to include line descriptions in journals?

Hi,
trying to export journals to HFM with Excel templates. HFM/FDM version in use is 11.1.1.3.
I am wondering if it is possible to include line descriptions in HFM-journals when they are posted through FDM?
When journal template is defined, account dimension is referred with "A" and ICP with "I" etc. According to FDM manual, description is referred with "D", but this tag transfers the column content to the general description in HFM journal and the line descriptions are left empty. What would be the correct tag in journal template referring to the line descriptions?
br,
Juha

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your prompt advice. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. With "D1" or "D2" the text still goes to the general description in HFM journal. Not to row descriptions.
I would assume that there has to be a "technical code" for those row descriptions also since you can load text to those directly from HFM journal extracts.
br,
Juha

Photo descriptions not in shared albums

When I share a photo album the descriptions to each photo that I've entered do not appear during playback. I've checked the settings area for the album before and during playing and the "show descriptions" checkbox is checked on but still no descriptions during playback. Any suggestions?

The only description from iPhoto that gets added to a shared photo stream is the one that is entered in this window when adding the photo or photos to the stream:
So to get a different description for each photo they must be added separately one at a time.

How to delete photos in disabled iCloud library

I asked few days ago in the iCloud forum help with photos reappearing in the iCloud Photos app and unable to reduce the size of my library. (post HT204410) So far no suggestions and today I tried to start from scratch and delete all. However I ran into other issues and hope this Photos forum can provide solutions:
1) I disabled the iCloud Photos Library option on iPhone, iPad and iMac. There were >3000 photos and videos in the library
2) Using iCloud via Safari webbrowser there is a message displayed that iCloud Photo Library has been disabled and that I have 30 days to download my pictures.
3) I do have copies and just want to delete all in the iCloud Photo Library using the Safari browser. However when I select photos the option to delete is greyed out? (see picture below)
Question 1: Is there any way I can fully delete the iCloud Photo Library faster?
4) I created a new Photos system library (using the <option> key at start up) and in the Photos preference made this the new system library.
5) When I connect my iMac again to the iCloud Photo Library with this empty library it download all the photos I also can see in the browser.
6) Both in the webbrowser and on the iMac the message that the iCloud Photos library is disabled remains even after connecting them again. It shows in red in the system preference panel for iCloud (with the library ticked on? - picture below)) and in the preferences with the Photos app on the iMac (Yosemite 10.10.3) , but with different number of days remaining (29 vs 30)?). I can not find the option to cancel this deletion from the iCloud preferences.
Question 2: Anyone able to advise were to find this cancellation option?
6) When I delete pictures on the iMac in the Photos app these are not synced with the iCloud Photos Library, at least in the browser no updates are happening ( and also still cannot delete any of the pictures...
Conclusion: I have not been able to rectify the problem, but have made it worse with a disabled iCloud Photos Library that populates a new library created on the iMac, but does not respond to changes.
Anyone who can help much appreciated.
Thanks, Henk

If you mean Photo Stream, just go to icloud.com, log in, click on your name in the upper right, click on advanced, and then choose reset Photo Stream. That removes all photos stored there.

Do you know how to download some videos from iCloud shared file to my iPad

I have shared a file with some pictures and videos in "shared streams" with other iOS users. Everybody put their videos put their photos and videos, and I would like to download some of them to my camera roll to make a video with iMovie, but I cannot find the option. I am only allowed to download photos, no videos. Is there any way of download these videos in my iPad?

You can buy and download films via the iTunes app on the iPad, they will then download into the Movies app - you will need to download the films over wifi as there is a 20 meg limit per file over 3G. Or you can buy and download them on your computer and then sync them to the iPad via your computer's iTunes - select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side on the Movies tab select which films to sync to it

IPhoto 9.6 does not include photo description in export file

My system is current with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6, Preview 8.0
The caption/description does not export from iPhoto. I have not exported files from previous iPhoto versions expecting the file to contain the iPhoto Caption/Description. This is a s/w feature that I want to use starting today and forward.
The caption/description for my test file is "Test Description". I have carried out the steps required to export the file (see below). The actual result is that the file caption/description is "EPSON scanner image" and not the expected result of "Test Description".
Is this a known problem? Any suggestions or information is appreciated.

The title has been exported, as your screenshot is showing: It has been exported as the "Title" field:
For the "description" tag click the "Tiff" tab in Preview's Inspector.
You can also see the description in the "File > Get Info" panel.

ICloud shared photo comment

Hi,
My wife, her mom, and I are using iPhones. Of course we thought iCloud photo sharing is the best way we can share our photos because we live apart. So my wife set up an iCloud photo sharing album and invite her mom and me. There have been no problem to share photos among us, but, I found something weird.
Most of time, it is my wife and I who upload photos. My mother-in-law usually leaves comments on photos. By the way, what I found was the comments that my mother-in-law left on the photos are seen only to whom posted the photo and not to the other one. For example, if my wife posted a photo to the iCloud shared album and her mom commented on the photo, the comment are always seen to my wife and not to me. Then, in case that I posted a photo, the comment by mother-in-law is shown only to me.
Is there anything we did wrong in setting up the shared album? I tried to find out, but could not. Any helps?

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
Don't the albums show at all?
Are you signed in with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before? And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
And wait.
The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.
