I am importing 1000's of images into iPhoto and somehow have 5700 trying to download to Photostream. How can I stop this from happening?

Setting up a new iMac and importing 1000's of pic's from various backup sources.
Right now I have about 5700 images trying to download into Photostream as soon as I turn it on on the iMac
I've tried logging into icloud.com and clicking my username to go to the "advanced" setting but the advance button is gone!
Any suggestions? I still have a lot of pics to upload
Thanks in advance

Go to iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane and uncheck the Automatic Upload checkbox.
Then close and reopen iPhoto.

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • Importing my video from my event library into my project library, it shows the full width of the clip, but on the viewing section, it's zoomed in and cut the sides of the video off.  How do I stop this from happening?

    When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
    narrowing the width of my footage.  How do I stop this from happening?

    In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
    Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
    You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
    I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

  • When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

    I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos".  It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.

  • PSE v13 on mac, organizer spontaneously adds images duplicates.  How do I stop this from happening?

    just purchased PSE v13 on mac, primarily using the organizer
    issue - Organizer spontaneously adds image duplicates. 
    How do I stop this from happening?

    I enter misc. items in each metadata file, ie. document title, author, description, keywords, copyright notice, etc.  Each image has it's own metadata file, with unique keywords, which are unique to that image. The keywords then show up on the right side of PSE organizer under 'imported keyword tags'.  Then I can select a keyword, unique to that image and wa...la... that image only appears in organizer.  I have been doing this for years (like probably 10). But this is the first time I have experienced the duplication issue.
    Not adding any auto-adjustments in Organizer as far as I know.
    The names are not duplicated in organizer, but appear as ie. scnr0122.jpg and scnr0122-1.jpg.  But the '-1' is not found on my server.  Apparently they are being added from another source.  Is it possible they are being pulled from a cloud server, ie. creative cloud or revel??  I do have the same files on those cloud servers, but am not intentionally duplicating the import.
    here is an interesting side item. 
    Did you know that a man was convicted of murder because of the info found in the metadata of his files?

  • My artwork and images keep resizing at random how to I stop this from happening ?

    I have tried to PIN / LOCK the images but nothing is working, pulling my hair out - When I add an image to a slideshow then upload to FTP then i go online all the images are mis aligned and re sized - I have to go back and re-set them all again. done this multiple times for days and its beyond a joke now. I have a multiple galleries (its a photography site) Please HELP I'm drowning here in a time sponge.
    I also notice for no reason also at random some images are pixelated when they show up on my site - they have all been saved the same way but maybe 5% of them come out foggy looking and not like the original Jpeg I saved for the site.

    Hello,
    Since Muse optimizes the images for web, they might not look as expected.
    You can check the below links for this issue:-
    Is it necessary to "save images for web" before importing into Muse?

  • When I open some images, blank white boxes appear on the image past a certain zoom point in random locations. This does not show up in the tools though (liquify, camera filter, ect). how do i stop this from happening?

    It happens mostly at random, but once it shows up on an image, even if i close and re open it it will still show up. if i zoom out far enough it will disappear, but as soon as i zoom back in again it will reappear. its never in the same spot on different images and never the same size. i was already on with tech support and they deleted my settings folder which seemed to fix it for a short time (like a week), does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?
    *this is not my art, just an example of it happening

    it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
    its the equivalent of the old
    patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
    doctor replies," well, don't do that "
    What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
    Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

  • I copy songs into playlists that I create.  And when I sync my iPod, the songs disappear.  How do I stop this from happening?

    I have an iPod nano version 1.0.4.  I've created playlists on my iTunes and copied songs into them.  But whenever I sync my iPod nano, the songs disappear from the playlists.  They stay in the main library, however.  Does anybody know of a way to keep them from disappearing from my playlists?

    It's a plain old playlist (with a folder icon next to it).  One more fact to complicate things.  I just had my hard drive replace under a recall from Apple.  Before I replaced it, plain old playlists worked fine. 
    But I may have just solved the problem.  When I was having the problem, I was creating the playlists by going into the "File" tab and clicking "New Playlist Folder".  This time I clicked the + sing in the lower left hand corner of the iTunes window.  Instead of a file folder icon, there's now a musical note.  And the songs now seem to be staying.  I'll also play with the smart playlists and see if that help too.  Thanks B-Rock for inspiring me to explore a bit more.

  • Sometimes when I click on a link, Firefox opens a wierd Google window. I just had my computer re-imaged and it's still happening. How do I stop this from happening?

    The Google window that is opening is not your typical Google homepage. It is specialized by topic.... i.e. Google Cars, Google Real Estate, Google Decor, etc. I don't know why these windows are opening up when I surf the net or even if they're authentically Google.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When I put an address into the URL the I get a gambling website instead. How do I keep this from happening?

    When I put in "Kelloggsfamilyrewards.com" a sweepstakes website pops up instead. This doesn't allow me to do what I need to at the Kelloggs website.
    Thanks,

    You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
