HT203511 Photos on iMac in cloud not syncing

Apologies in advance, I know this query has come up but after reading many of the threads, apple tutorials etc I still cant get photos from Iphotos cloud folder to show up on ipad air. Photo stream etc are all enabled on both machines operating Yosemite, IOS8 respectively. Tried signing out, disabling & resetting but that got me just 4 photos from around 200 to show on ipad. All were taken with a camera imported into Mac via Iphoto. None synced. I tried manually placing them into the cloud folder in the Iphoto sidebar & ended up with the 4 I have now (2 from years ago & 2 very recent). Certainly not 'seamless' for me. Any advice much appreciated

Actually it does, but probably does help explain things. Photo stream is hidden on your mobile device when you enable iCloud photo library, your mobile device still has access to photo stream though as you can tell when you take a photo on the device and it winds up on your Mac. So it may be best to think that it just doesn't sync with iCloud photo library.
Until photos for Mac appears, any pics that I need on iPad must be uploaded via iCloud.com?
If they are from your Mac, yes.

When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
This is from the download page:
This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync. If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.

Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed)....any ideas? Using MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

Just upgraded my MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012) to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed and prev ok with iPhoto)....any ideas please?

In iPhoto it was possible to go into the iPhoto prefs and set up Elements as an external editor. After using “Edit in” the image was saved back to the iPhoto library. Photos for OSX is very new, so I’m not sure whether that is possible with the new app. Have you looked for the prefs/settings? You could ask a question on the Apple forum:

Book files stored in Creative Cloud not syncing

Hi everyone!
We are working on a project that is stored in Creative Cloud to take advantage of collaborative workflow. Everything is working fine so far.
I've just created a book and added a few files so that I can sync styles, master pages, etc. This is working flawlessly on my end so far.
The problem comes when another teammate tries to open the book file I've created on his/her end. The book opens but it is empty (no documents listed at all). However if a send the book file to them via email or store it on a network drive and they open it everything works perfect.
So the problem seems to be related with Creative Cloud not syncing the book files properly. Any clue on the matter? We must store the project files on Creative Cloud so work from a network drive is not an option for us.

Yeah, you are absolutely right, we are using Google Drive for pretty much everything else, is way more faster, more reliable and is full featured (how about download entire folders Adobe or zero errors when syncing, Adobe?). And on top of this is cheaper (way more is you ask me).
Sadly, we really MUST work in Adobe CC for this particular project so no scape here.

....partially resolved, in case anyone else with sim prob.....
....with Photoshop open you click "Open" (top left) and 'Finder' opens up in the window with 'Photos' listed.
Select which pic you want to edit (duplicates must be created first in 'Photos") and it opens in Photoshop Editor
It's all a bit messy but seems to work.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

IMac i3 freezing, not syncing and crashing.

There seems to be a whole “bunch of stuff” going on with my iMac 21” i3, and I just wanted to check in to see if anyone had experienced anything similar or had any advice.
First, when syncing my iPhone 4 last week I got this message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
iTunes at the same time was freezing up, so I forced quit (silly perhaps).
When I restarted iTunes I got this:
“iTunes Library does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed the file to "iTunes Library(Damaged)"
Some research some frustration and some time got my iTunes back up and running.
I was still getting the "The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." When attempting to sync by iPhone.
Finally I found a fix that worked online (not syncing photos!).
So that should be the end of the story.
But since then iTunes has been running SLLLLOOOOOWW, as has my system as a whole.
Then last night:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Followed by:
“iTunes Library does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed the file to "iTunes Library(Damaged)"
So something be wack!
The only thing I could think of is I got an email from Apple telling me they needed to replace my hard drive free of charge as they were found to be faulty.
I’ve booked in with the Apple Store to have the drive replaced. But could it be the problem? Or do I have something else happening here.

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Cloud not syncing with mac, iPhone or iPad

My caldendar is not syncing with my Mac, MBP, iPhone or iPad. When I go to the cloud there are a large number of appointments that do not show up. I am having to use the calendar of my Mac or MBP. If I enter appointments in the cloud dupes show up on my other calendars. This has been going on for a long time. It seems every time there is an IOS update the cloud gets out of sync with all my devices.

Verizon Cloud not Syncing properly with Galaxy S5

Before activating the new Galaxy S5 that I bought for my gal, we backed up her Contacts to her Verizon account Cloud. We can see all of the contacts including phone numbers.
Yet after activating the new S5 most of the phone numbers are not appearing on the phone?
A Chat session with Verizon wasn't helpful.
I've tried numerous times to Sync to the new phone. The old phone has been deactivated. I've tried everything that I can think of, including Selecting all of the contacts, etc.
Any hints? She's not happy that I got her a new phone that doesn't have her phone numbers in it!

I have spent four+ hours at the local VZW store on two visits, called VZW tech support three times and spoke to five reps, and have been in touch with executive services, not to mention all the time I've spent on my own researching and trying to get my phone to sync contacts with the Verizon Cloud. After over 20 hours of effort, I still can't get it to work. This w/e tech support said I had to wait for a mid-June software update. My phone will be two months old then. I did get contacts to sync through gmail (I exported from iCloud (originally on Apple 4S) to vcard file, imported vcard content to gmail, synch to gmail account on S5). I can also populate the Verizon Cloud app contacts list from the vard file--but only from the PC side, not the phone. I have tried numerous procedures and the S5 will not sync with the Verizon Cloud. The Cloud app online says my device has no contacts. I've managed to arrange my contacts to be the way I want them on my phone, I want to use the phone's contacts set as the master, but no matter what I do, I can't push the contacts to the Verizon Cloud (or vice versa). It's a stunning roadblock and a great hindrance to onboarding new customers.

"Documents in the Cloud" NOT syncing between devices.

I am terribly confused about DOCUMENTS IN THE CLOUD.
My whole understanding was that your documents would SYNC between your devices, iMac/iPhone/iPad.
I have PAGES installed on all my devices. But nothing is syncing. If I make changes to one of the documents it remains on that particular device and does not effect my other devices.
And YES I have iCloud enabled on all my devices.
I THOUGHT that if I edited a document on my iMac it was supposed to send the edit to the cloud where it would then be sent to my other devices, iphone and ipad?
Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand the keynote?

For the avoidance of doubt in addition to settings> iCloud> documents & data being enabled, have you checked that settings> keynote> iCloud is also set to on.

Photos from Win XP will not Sync with 3G iphone what am I doing wrong

Need some help, just got the iphone and the only thing I can't understand is how to transfer my photos from my PC to the phone. I understand I use Itunes and point it to the folder/photo I want to sync. Itunes goes through it optimizing 1 of 29 photos (only doing 29 photos to start) but then when I go to the phone I have the normal Camera Roll Album and one folder listed. In the folder listed is only one photo which is all messed up.
I understand the phone takes photos and displays photos at one res, and I thought Itunes doesn't care what res the photo from the PC is cause it optimizes it to be viewed on the phone.
What am I missing ? and what is this folder that keeps being built ipod photo cache. Any help would be wonderful and yes I did read the "Iphone User Guide" that came with the phone.

Not sure what the issue is that you are having. Sounds like you are doing the right thing.
You point iTunes to a folder that contains pictures (or more subfolders that contain pictues...1 subfolder deep). Then tell it to sync. iTunes does its "optimize" thing. Then they sync over. Each subfolder in that folder you pointed to becomes a library.
eg:
C:\PHOTOS you point it to.
C:\PHOTOS\FAMILY
C:\PHOTOS\WORK
C:\PHOTOS\FRIENDS
C:\PHOTOS\WALLPAPER
C:\PHOTOS\MISC
are all under it.
Each of those becomes a library on the iPHone (Family, Work, friends, etc)
Photos from those folders go to phone (and photos from the root you pointed it to).
The extra folder it makes (think it tries to mark it hidden unless you have it set to show hidden files) is just stuff for iTunes to keep track (like HASH data and other stuff) to know what it has synced so it can tell what is new and what is old if you add more photos or folders later.
I have some huge images on my PC that I sync over without issue. iTunes scales them down when syncing to the phone (the whole optimize stuff).

IMac me email not syncing with macbook and iphone

Changes to my emails, e.g. receiving a new email, reading a new email, deleting an email, are syncing on my iphone, macbook and on icloud.com, but not on my imac. I have a brand new imac and am using my me.com email account. I have set up all 3 devices according to the standard settings available on apple support pages.
Somewhere something is out of place, but I can't fathom what. All other data, including calendar and address book, is happily synched between all devices and icloud.com.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one. That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address. I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email. Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.

My iMac desktop is not syncing with iCloud. Any suggestions?

All of a sudden, my iMac Desktop stopped syncing with iCloud. My mail, notes, etc. Have logged off, deleted the account and tried to start over, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, it syncs with my iPhone and iPad, just NOT with my Mac Desktop.

Hello, John!
I see that you are not having and issue with the syncing between your computer and iCloud. So we would need to look into the device settings to make sure all settings mirror what is set in the iCloud Control Panel. I have included a couple articles that will assist you in troubleshooting your iPhone 5. See the sections in the articles below referring to your iOS devices.

Garageband for Mac and iCloud project in cloud not syncing to iPad

I have checked every setting possible in GB for Mac and in iCloud settings,, plus also checked iPad for all settings. I can see that a particular project is appearing as an iCloud document, however, it does not appear to be syncing to my iPad. The document (project)was made in my Mac Garageband New Version , opens up nicely on GB version 10,, and I have it in the cloud and not a document on my computer. Any help as to why it might not be showing up on my iPad would be appreciated.... unless there are are problems in the Cloud tonight.?

GarageBand can only sync from iPad to OS X, not the other way around.
You can, however, sync back to an iPad if the project was originally created on an iPad.
Some edits you did in OSX may not be seen on your iPad.
Opening an iPad-version in OS X is a bit awkward.
First, on your iPad tap and hold the file you want to send to iCloud.
As soon as the icon of your song starts to wiggle, tap Upload to iCloud.
In OS X go to File / iCloud / Import GarageBand for iOS
It can take some minutes before you can see your project.
