HT4906 Need help getting iPad photos onto iMac

I'm trying to get my photo stream from my iPad to upload automatically via iCloud onto my Mac desktop. I'm getting the message that all updates are complete, but the desktop still won't let me check the box to update photos via iCloud. What to do?

Are you referring to this checkbox:
If that box is checked and it's not imorting into iPhoto disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I need help getting my photos back on my iPad!

So my iPad had a lot of photos. My photos were syncing to my computer I think and then all of the sudden, I looked on my iPad and they all disappeared. I didn't delete them. Then I looked back on my iPad and they were syncing back. Then I let them sync for a day or two and then they disappeared again. I really want my photos back. :( please help someone.

Hi karate2014,
Music and apps purchased under one Apple ID are not transferrable to another Apple ID, nor can ID’s be merged. See this article -
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
It is possible, however, to use different Apple IDs for different purposes on a single device such as your iPad. See the same article under -
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I need help getting best photo quality

Hello,
I need some help for a dedication photo page that I am doing for my son's baseball tribute. It is a photo page with limited text and will be printed in a directory. The last time I did this, my photos were very blurry. I am trying to get the best resolution possible and I'm not sure whether I should use Photoshop or In design. I currently have the entire cs4 suite. I sampled the new CC suite several months ago, but like my software I already own, never learned how to use anything. If you can offer any advice on programs and settings to get me going, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Teressa

When taking a picture with a camera, use the highest resolution possible and if it offers raw format use that instead of jpg. The raw format is just that raw, kind of like a negitive. Nothing is done to it, but provides the highest quality resolution and number of colors. The jpg format, is an edited version in that the settings of the camera dictate what the final image will look like.
Even though for beginners jpg sounds appealing as the camera is doing the work, it also degrades the image. Jpg by nature throws out data to compress the file so that it can be smaller in size. Each time you open and save that jpg file, more data gets throwed out, until the image looks blotchy.
Raw files are non writable. There is no way to over write the data in that file. They use a sperate file called a sidecar file which holds any changes you make to that raw file in camera raw or lightroom.
Once the file opens in photoshop, there is no save as raw file (well there is, but it is not the same as your camera uses) So any edits here in photoshop need to be saved in another format preferable one that is non-destructive when compressing the file, like psd, tiff, png, etc.
Now that the file formats are out of the way, next advice is to keep an eye on the pixel dimentions. The higher the pixel numbers for the width and height, the better the quality will be.
To see the pixel dimentions use the menu Image>Image Size...
Towards the bottom is a check box for resampling the image. With this box checked, you can alter the pixel dimentions. With it unchecked, you can not.
If you reduce the pixel dimentions you are literally throwing in out data. It will no longer exist.
If you increase the pixel dimentions, photoshop trys its best to guess what the data should be to add it.
This is the reason why it is so important to use the highest quality image directly from the camera. As good as photoshop is, it can only be just so good, when you increase the pixel dimentions enough the image will become blurry.
If you reduce the pixel dimentions enough the image will become "pixelated" (It will look like it has a severe case of the jaggies {blocky looking})
So most of the time someone will have an image that does not have enough pixels in the image and the program they print from scales it up to fit a certain area and it will be blurry.
Long story short, it does not matter which program you use, photoshop or InDesign, if the image has enough pixels you will be fine, if not, you will get blurry images.

I need help getting some photos off a really old ipod

Ok so here it is.... My grandparents way back when gave me an ipod video, I just recently found it and realized it has photo's on it that I would like to keep. My problems are 1. I don't have the original computer I used for it 2. when I plug it in my computer thinks it's a hard drive 3. autoplay won't give me the option to import the photo's to my computer and 4. itunes doesn't seem to have an option to transfer photo's from ipods to your pictures folder.... if any one could help I'd appriciate it.

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option. You can Google for more.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10. This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least. If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

Trying to get my photos onto new iphone 6

i got a new iphone 6 and need to get my photos off my ihone 6 but for some reason they wouldnt download from icloud like my apps and contacts how can i get them onto my new phone?

First, you have to back up all the available data on your existing iPhone, either via iCloud, using iTunes or FonePaw iOS Transfer on a Mac or Windows computer.
Then,You can use iCloud or iTunes to transfer your entire mobile system/data from your old iPhone to your new one. But it’s a clumsy, one-way process can be time consuming.

I have a new mac and my old mac had my photos on it how can I get my photos onto iPhoto without using a external drive or flash drive?

My dad put a new mac in and the old Mac had my photos on it, and I checked iPhoto after it the new computer was plugged in and there was no photos in it, and my dad said that they should be in there but they aren't, so is there a way to get my photos onto the new Mac without the old one and without an external or flash drive? Because a lot of my photos I don't have on my camera because the memory card was full and the pictures that I had already had been on the old mac....
Thanks!

Have your dad post de what happened - you need to be at least 13 o se these forums and we need to be able to understand what you are asking
the basic answer to moving photos is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward. but you say you do not have the old computer
Unless you have a backup or there is more information the answer is there s no way now

I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone 2. Reset your settings/iphone 3. Restore your iphone. Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring. If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine. A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.
