How to stop photo stream uploading/downloading in the background

Does anyone know how to stop the iphoto upload/download as my broadband gets killed everytime I add photos to my mac.
Let me explain that I have a 6-8 MB down link but my uplink is only 0.2Mb really slow. So when I quit iphoto I can't play any online games for ages as Photostream is taking up my complete band width. Mainly due to the fact that it is also downloading the photos to my iPad and my wifes iPhone I just imported the photos off those two devices but photostream wants to put a second copy on the device. argh
please give me better control I want to upload the photos (shared library) to photostream but only when the iPhoto app is open so I have the choice of when my bandwidth is used. either that or make the upload only happen with the device is switch off / not used so if I open a network game the bandwidth is freed until the game is closed.
thanks

Stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?

Hi!
Is it possible to stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?
I use tethering from other 3G connection a lot, so i'm consuming a lot of Mb!

I missed you in iChat yesterday as I was posting this to let you know.
It is mostly as the Page 7 stuff is but laid out in a form that can be used without tables or extra div sections of HTML.
As I am sure there are newer things that we have missed such as
http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
and other VJ type apps that might warrant some sort of mention.
Anyhow it might flush out some some more anyway.
I still feel that the credit for this lies with you.
I am going to leave it for a while to see what comes up here and in the other forums of items that might need a mention.

HT4623 how to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer

How to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer?

Resync the iPad with the computer, but before doing so, click on the device once it is hooked up to iTunes. You will see the Device Profile to the right with several tabs - Photos being one of them. Select the Photos tab, and either uncheck the Sync Photos box at the top (if you don't want any of the photos to be on your device), or uncheck the selected photos you no longer want to sync.
Cheers,

How do i know what is downloading in the background of my ipad

How do I know what is downloading in the background. My wi fi is showing something is downloading, but I dont know where to look to see what exactly is downloading.
Also why does my iPad keep looking for wi fi spots when I have already selected and opened my wi fi ?

Check in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Updates>On. If that is set to "On", any apps that require updates are being downloaded in the background. I turned it off on my iPad. Just another way to drain the battery IMO. I can update the apps when I am ready to do so and I can do when the iPad is plugged into power.
How do you know that the iPad is looking for WiFi hotspots?

How to stop Firefox deleting active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

I tend to remove old downloads from the download manager by pressing the 'del' key. Before the update to the new download manager, Firefox would not delete downloads when the 'del' key was pressed, *if* it was still downloading. This is no longer the case, and you can now accidentally remove downloads that are still downloading if the 'del' key is pressed.
Is there a way to prevent Firefox from removing active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

'''<Control> J''' to open the download manager. At the upper right is a button;
'''Clear Downloads.''' This will remove completed downloads only.

How to stop version check that happens in the background after timeout?

Hi all,
I have a problem that seriously makes my swing application (installed using webstart) very slow for some time.
Steps to reproduce my problem :
1. Deploy the jars of application in the web server running on Machine A( either in LAN or running on public IP).
2. Download the application on Machine B using the link.
3. Shutdown Machine A.
4. Now try to start the application on Machine B. The starting of the application has become very slow.
After some time(long enough) the application is started. Even now, the application is slow for first few minutes.
Below is the part of jnlp that we used.:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>+
+<jnlp spec="1.0" codebase="$$codebase" href="LaunchMyApplication.jnlp">+
+<information>+
+<title>My Application</title>+
+<vendor>XYZ</vendor>+
+<description kind="short">XXXXXXXX</description>+
+<icon href="../../../../images/myapp_splash2009.gif" kind="splash"/>+
+<icon href="../../../../images/myapp_logo.jpg"/>+
+<offline-allowed/>+
+</information>+
+<security>+
+<all-permissions/>+
+</security>+
+<resources>+
+<property name="abc.type" value="client"/>+
+<j2se version="1.5" initial-heap-size="48m" max-heap-size="256m"/>+
+     +
+     +
+     ...........+
+     ..........+
+     +
+</resources>     +
+<application-desc main-class="com.abc.xyz.Login">+
+     <argument>..........</argument>+
+</application-desc>+
+</jnlp>+
My assumsion is
When I start my application, version checking will happen. But the cache server system(machine A) is not available. Due to this initial slowdown has occurred.
After the timeout has occured, my application has started. Since the version checking continuous in the background, my application is again slow.(Even when my application server and database system are in the same LAN of my client machine).
This slowdown is certainly not desirable.
This slowness isn't there when there Machine A( in which my webserver is installed) is running and my webserver (Tomcat 5.0 in my case) is not started.
Is my assumsion is correct?
If correct, how do I stop version checking process that happens in the background after initial timeout?
I think update check and policy attribute may not help me as I wanted to stop this background version check altogether. Also, my java sersion is 1.5_0_14.
Please help me out in this.
Thanks in advance..,
Chakri.

IOS 7 How to stop Photo Stream on my iPad

I've just updated to iOS 7 on my iPad.
Previously on my iPad photos I only ever had albums saved with photos I selected to the albums.
Now since the iOS 7 update I'm now getting every photo from my iPhoto on my MacBook and iPhone go straight onto my iPad.
How do I change the settings to how it once was with only the albums I've selected in iPhoto instead of every photo for the last 10 years showing up with an invitation?

Oops sorry the last line was meant to read *without* an invitation???

How to Stop Photos From Auto Uploading

I don't like how photo stream uploads all of my photos automatically to the photo stream. I would just turn off photo stream all together but I love using it to share a lot of photos. How do I stop this.

You should be able to turn off "My Photo Stream" but leave on "Shared Photo Streams," under Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.

How do i change my sync options to stop photos being uploaded from my computer to my ipad

I need to change my sync options to stop photos being uploaded from my computer to my ipad air, how do i do this please?

If you want to remove all photos and not have them sync back to the iPad, with your iPad connected to your computer, while iTunes is running and with the iPad selected under the Devices icon at the top of the iTunes window, click on the Photos Tab and then uncheck the box next to Sync Photos From and click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

TS3989 Photo stream upload issues

I have had battery issues with my iphone 4s and as a result took it to genious bar. My iphone was wiped and resotred as a new device.
my phone was restored from icloud where i had approx 200 photos in photo stream. however only 9 photos from my photo stream uploaded back onto my iphone.
can anyone assist on how to retrieve these photograph.
thanks

You will have to Pardon my ignorance. I am a relative beginner to this.
The staff member at the genius bar checked my phone and he said the photograph that where on my photo stream prior to doing the restore would automatically upload on to my iPhone when I restore my settings from iCloud. However only 9 photos done this and there other 100 odd photos didn't.
I am confused!

Can't cancel photo stream upload activity

I recently moved to Aperture and imported all my photos (27,000 of them). I then realised that with the default settings all these images were being uploaded to photo stream and then continually deleted from photo stream when it hit the 1000 max. Rather pointless and a large use of bandwidth. I have now turned off the "Automatic upload" preference:
but I still have a problem because the activity is still trying to complete.
I can see the Photo Stream Activity in the Activity window and can Pause it no problem.
But I can't cancel it! Clicking the Cancel Task button does nothing.
And if I restart Aperture the activity starts again automatically.
How can I cancel this activity?

Try my app, it closes photostream until you re-open iPhoto

How do shared photo streams affect iCloud storage? Do they last forever or are the still subject to the 1000 photo/30 day rule?

Stay forever and don't count towards your iCloud storage use.

Set up the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, then turn photo stream to On.
