HT201317 Photo Management in Multiple Clouds

Is there a way to choose where to save photos and videos?  I have iCloud storage and OneDrive storage, but I don't know how to separate the photos to save some to one cloud and some to the other. 

iCloud isn't designed to store your photos.  It's designed to stream them to your other devices, to share them with others, and to back them up as part of your iCloud backup.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your other devices sufficient time to download therm.
If you are looking for a place to store them look at services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.

  • Aperture vs. iView as a photo manager

    So, I've been reading a lot of the pro's and con's of aperture as a raw conversion tool, but I haven't been able to really find anybody talking about the pros/cons of Aperture as simply a photo management tool against programs such as iView. Opinions? Basically I'm wondering if it's going to be beneficial to buy the program now, learn the interface and use it as I would use iView so that once they get all the bugs worked out I can start doing my raw conversions with it as well.

    They really are difficult to compare, as each does things the other doesn't. And you are asking about Aperture's strongest features.
    I have not yet used iView 3, so my comments are about 2.6, 3 has some new features that compare favorably to Aperture
    So my take:
    iView:
    Pro -
    Handles very large libraries (I currently have about 85000 images in my iview catalog)
    Handles images regardless of where they are stored (online, offline, across many drives, dvds, tapes, whatever)
    Extraordinarily fast
    Very robust file-format support
    Fantastic slideshow and web export, adequate contact sheets
    Extremely deep (and correctly implemented) metadata support
    Seamlessly integrates with all third-party "helper apps" - whatever, and however many you choose
    Con -
    No side-by-side compare
    No raw editing
    Limited file conversion options
    Can be a little sluggish when importing (not when viewing) raw files
    Raw support depends on third-party drivers
    Slightly clunky interface
    Aperture -
    Pro -
    Beautiful, realtime interface
    Stacks
    Raw editing (though low-quality)
    Versions
    Side-by-side viewing/comparing
    Con -
    Files locked up in local library
    Only handles online, local files
    No archiving support
    Very limited file-format support
    Poorly implemented metadata support (ignores metadata from other apps, does not export metadata to other apps)
    Poorly implemented "external editor" support (very difficult to access raw files)
    Limited slideshow/web export. Adequate contact sheets
    Very poor quality exported files
    Basically - if Aperture could handle files from multiple locations (especially offline files) it would completely clobberize iView. But it doesn't, and although the side-by-side compare and stacks and versions are wonderful, Aperture's library and "doesn't play well with others" attitude makes it a mediocre (if not outright poor) digital asset management tool at this point in time.

    In this log file I can see you are getting Error : U44M1P7 while updating the software
    This Error comes where language packs for software are not installed properly on the machine.
    I would suggest to update Adobe Application manager from
    Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
    then try to install the update if still you are not able to update software and getting same error then uninstall all the Adobe software selecting remove prefernces.
    After uninstalling the software run the Adobe Cleaner tool(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and remove the leftovers.

  • If I open a photo in "preview", multiple photos open. I just want to open one, but can't figure out how to do it.

    I keep multiple photos in a desktop folder to be quickly accessed by using Preview. But when I try to open ONE photo, it opens multiple photos. Can't figure out how to display just the single one that I select.  OS 10.7.2

    This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
    You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
    defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

  • I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

    iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
    It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
    When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
    If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
    Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
    Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
    So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
    If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
    Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
    Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

  • How do i get all photos that ive got in my photo stream to i cloud and then put on to new device?

    Can any1 help me i want to know how to get all my photos from my photo stream to i cloud and then find them and put them back on my new iphone?? Ive always had on i cloud and synced via wifi but i cant find them anywhere!??

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    If this is what seems to be happening here, then one solution would be to create a shared photostream album on your old phone using the older photos that haven't transferred to your new phone.
    You should regularly save your photos to a computer, photo stream will only save photos to your computer if instructed to do so and then only when iPhoto is open.

    How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • TS1398 I can no longer transfer  photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space  available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

    I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
    Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
    There is plenty of storage available
    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

  • How do i download my photo gallery to i cloud ?

    How do I download my mobile me photo gallery to i cloud ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

  • How do I check what photos are in the cloud?

    I just replaced my iPhone and I dont know how to push photos & videos from the cloud to the new phone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    How did you store them in the cloud (back up or photo stream) and where do you want to view these photos.

    I'm a hobbiest photographer with over 30 years of pictures to file. I have read extensively, including this forum and sort best practice to developed a plan to do achieve an organised scalable system.
    I would appreciate sharing of experience by providing comments on my suggested plan of action and questions I raise below.
    My Objective:
    Organise and manage existing legacy photos and provide a system for future photos that is not tied into specific system or vendor. For example where possible Metadata free from vendor specific format or database.
    Background:
    My collection consists of many photos in over 50 folders, these are:
    a) Scanned picture that are now JPGs,
    b) Shot JPG,
    c) Raw (new and existing).
    I files my pictures on my PC & external back up copy.
    I file: /my pictures/<YYYY>_<MM>_<Location_Event>  for example: /my pictures/2013_04_Yorkshire_Family_Weekend.
    On some of my digital pictures I have included the Metadata using Google Picasa v3. Most of my scanned pictures have no Metadata as yet.
    I own and aim to use Lightroom 4 to do Post Production and photo filing and management whilst also continuing to use Google Picasa for viewing &amp; Face Recognition (at least until I feel fully confident in Lr).
    Suggested plan of attack:
    Stage 1)
    Add "My Picture" folder, including sub folders to Lightroom Library, Standard View.
    Stage 2)
    Continue with /my pictures/<YYYY>_<MM>_<Location_Event> 
    For example: /my pictures/2013_04_Yorkshire_Family_Weekend.
    Stage 3)
    Use Lr to apply to both existing and new photos file name format as follows: <My Initials>_<YYYYMMDD>_<Key_Words Inc_Location_Event_Description>_<sequence xxxx>
    For example:RB_20130420_Peru_Cusco_Holiday_Shots_0001
    NB: Regarding Version Control for RAW I will use Lr inc use of "Virtual Copies", for Jpeg I will use additional field for Developed JPEGs of <vX>
    For example:RB_20130420_Peru_Cusco_Holiday_Shots_0001_v01.jpg
    Stage 4)
    Manually use Lr to add Metadata &amp; Ratings to all pictures to date.
    Metatdata: Include "My Name" to all pictures, "Date" by Windows folder, "Keyword" by folder, "Additional Keyword" to 3* and above.
    Rating: 1&amp;2* no action required, 3*+ maybe further editing if time permits.
    Stage 5)
    Run "Save Metadata to file" in Lr. This will run Metadata to file for JPG and to XMP side car for RAW files.
    Stage 6)
    Import new shots to new folder using "/my pictures/<year><month number><event>" structure. As they are in sub folder they will be included automatically to Lr library.
    Stage 7)
    Create JPG in same folders as RAWs for Developed Photos.
    Stage 8)
    Back up "My Photos" and Lr dbase on regular basis as per Lr best practice.
    Questions:
    1) Is Lr more powerful than Google Picasa for Renaming File &amp; Adding Metadata? 
    2) Once I "Save Meta Data to Photo" in Lr will I be able to access it in Google Picasa?
    3) Can I automate the Importing of new shots to Lr and have it maintain / build upon my existing file structure?
    4) Any recommendations for Keyword Schema to include in Metadata?
    5) Does my approach above seem sensible?

    Honestly, if your goal is to have metadata that is not tied into a specific system or vendor, then here's what I would do:
    I would not put any effort at all into organizing your folders (or improving the organization of the folders), or renaming files, as I think your time is better spent on keywords. In my opinion, the benefits of keyword organizing are many; in addition, without you putting any effort into reorganizing your folders, you can also search for you photos by date inside Lightroom using Lightroom tools regardless of the folder structure (and you can search this way inside of any other photographic management software I have used as well, regardless of the folder structure).
    In Lightroom assign whatever keywords and metadata are appropriate, and then instruct Lightroom to write the metadata to the files. There are two ways to do this, one is Ctrl-S, and the second is to turn on the option in Preferences that does this automatically (Edit->Catalog Settings->Metadata) Once the metadata has been written by Lightroom, you now have metadata that can be read by any photographic software (and even all major operating systems) that I know of.  Having keywords in the file name is redundant, it doesn't help you find photos and faster but it does require extra work; and there is a limit to the number of characters you can have in a path\filename.
    Another point ... don't use Lightroom collections or pick flags as part of this "metadata that is system and vendor independent", as Lightroom does not write this information to the files.
    You ask for Keyword schema, but without knowing what your photo's subject matter is, there's no way I could give any advice.

    You are in a photo page when you go to the Inspector/Photos/Slideshow pane right?
