HT204022 How do you remove all the photos in photostream in one go i.e reset?

I have a new Mac and iphone and when I turn on photostream it downloads thousands of pics that have been taken since photostream started. I don't want it to do that, I just want to reset the photo stream and start with zero pics as its being downloading on the new iMac now for 2 days and its still goinig.
There used to be a reset option on the icloud site but it has vanished, so how do I do it? Surely I I'm not expected to wait days for each device to download all pics before I can delete them?

From where do you want to remove the PS photos? A mobile device or iPhoto on your Mac? If you have them all in iPhoto on your Mac (up to 1000 allowed) go to the PS in iPhoto, select all of the photos there and Control (right)-click on them. Select Delete from Photo Stream in the contextual menu that appears:
If they aren't in iPhoto let them download (as that wouldl be faster than downloading to a mobile device and easier to delete from. The follow the workflow above. in the meantime turn of Photo Stream on your mobile devices until the photos have been deleted:

Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

How can i remove all the photos from my iphone 5S that i synced from my computer

Hi All, my iPhone 5S is full of photos (1326) or so. however the camera roll is 827. there is an album named "My Photo Stream" which has 466 from My Computer and under it is "Shared" which has 12 from my computer. Can anybody help me to remove both these albums as there taking up a lot of space and I have tried everything to remove them!!!

On option is to open your my photo stream album in the thumnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then import them to your computer using your usb cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). A more convenient option is to use an app like PhotoSync, which will transfer all your photos from any album (including photo stream) to any of your devices (including your computer) over wifi by pressing a single button.

How do you sync "all" the Photo Streams from my iOS6 devices to iPhoto '11

I just purchased iPhoto 11 for my MacBook running Lion OS. I can't seem to sync all the Photo Streams from my iOS6 devices to my MacBook. I need more than 30 days.

You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie. Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

How do you remove all the gray exclamation icon songs from the Library?

I've been burning all my CD's to an external hard drive. At some point the location of my iTunes Library switched from the external drive to the local drive. (Any idea why that would happen?) So about half the CD's were imported the the local drive.
So I copied all the music folders from the local drive to the external drive and then deleted the extra copies from the local drive. Now the problem is that those songs are showing up twice in the library! Each song has one listing that's a working version and a second listing with a grey exclamation icon next to, saying it can't locate the song.
How can I delete every song in the library that has the gray exclamation icon?

How do you print all the photos in your flagged file? I don't want to make these photos into a new event.

I want to order several photos. I have flagged them and there is no option to select all and order the prints. I don't want to create a new event with these photos, as I want them in their original event files.
How are multiple photos ordered/exported for printing?

Go to your Flagged Photos Smrt Album on the Left.
Command - a will select All
Then File -> New -> Album

Hi,

When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

How do I delete all the photos off my phone

how do I delete all the photos off my phone ?

Hi tehdeh,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
There are a couple of ways to do this. As a precaution, I like to import my pictures to my computer first ... which gives me a backup of the photos, AND gives me the option to delete them after import. This article explains how:

If you have synced photos or albums from iTunes to your iPhone, you can remove them that way as well:

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one. Then download the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library. This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking.
Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.

Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

HT201317 How do I get all the photos and videos I already have on my ipad and iphone over to photo stream to bring up on my PC

CAn you please tell me how I can get all the photos and video from my iPad and iPhone that aren't in photo stream so I can get them from my iCloud onto my PC please.

If you don't physically have the phone then there is no way for you to get the photos or videos.

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder

How do I export all the photos I imported back to their original folder just as they were, they haven't been modified, adjusted etc. I imported them by mistake.

You don't need to worry. You won't lose photos when the 30 day trial expires.
Lr is different than other photo editing software in that it works with a data base (called the "catalog"). Lr does not write anything into the image pixels but stores everything that you do in Lr into its catalog (=data base). That way, when the trial expires your images will still be there, but - since you cannot access the Lr catalog anymore - your photos will be in the state they were before you imported them into Lr.
When you work with Lr you have to really understand the concept of the "catalog", if you don't you will come into very frustrating situations. The concept of "catalog" involves above all that you need to think of your images based on two different files that are in different locations on your computer. One is your image file (Raw, JPG, TIFF) and the other is the data entry written for this image into the Lr catalog. Lr constantly updates this catalog (without you having to hit <save>) and constantly combines the image file with the data from the catalog. From this follows the demand that you take care of the Lr catalog as much as you take care for your image files - by knowing where they are located on your computer and by doing regular backups.
Would it be worth the investment? In my opinion definitively "yes"! I work with Lr since version 1 on a daily basis and would not want to miss it. Lr gives you superior image editing possibilities (in the Develop Module) but - as already said - is also a superb image management tool. Lr will keep track of all of your images irrespective if they are on internal or external hard drives. With Lr you have all of your images available all the time.
But Lr has also a steep learning curve. You cannot just jump in and do things because you'd create havoc and become frustrated. There are excellent books but for starters I would recommend that you watch the video tutorials on Adobe's website. You learn from them easily because you see on your screen what the instructor does, where he clicks, where the different tools are, etc.

If you decide to buy, you can do so on Adobe's website. You will then be e-mailed a serial # that will unlock your trial version for indefinite time.
