ICloud photo sending problems

I have tried sending photos by email using icloud, but it tells me that my user name/password has not been verified by the server, the problem is that its not giving me the chance to put in the correct combination and I am totally lost. I have tried looking through settings to see if I can access anything to alter this. I am a new mac user and am still finding my way around so any help would be much appreciated:))

Thanks, Winston. I turned off iCloud Photo Library and the syncing started working again. I see what you mean about Photo Stream becoming available again. The original problem, however, was that nothing was happening when I tried setting up iCloud Photo Library. It's not right that after two days that no photos were being uploaded. Even with a large library, I would have expected photos to be gradually showing up. I even went into my account on iCloud.com and saw that nothing new was being posted. Also while this was going on, no new photos that I was taking were appearing across devices.
I am going to wait until Apple gets this sorted out before trying this again.

ICloud photo stream problem

Hi all - I really need your help.
My iPhoto '11 was working just fine until I upgraded it to 9.4.3. I also just installed the recent system upgrade. Now I am having multiple problems. It seems to stem from Photo Stream. Activity Monitor shows that Photo Stream is using up gobs of CPU which is strange since it is supposed to not be working...
In iPhoto, under the preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is not enabled. If I check the box to turn it on, it just unchecks itself just as quickly. But in the system preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is set up just fine. Photo Stream is certainly not working. And it seem to be totally screwing up iPhoto. I have tried multiple iPhoto fix options (option alt fixes, restoring a backup library, uninstalling then reinstalling iPhoto) with no improvement.
I'm not sure if the problem is coming from iPhoto or iCloud Photo Stream problems. I am running OSX 10.8.4 on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Thank you so much!

Well Old Toad, I am stumped.
I double checked and logged out of iCloud in both user accounts and made sure that PS was not enabled on either library. Then I restarted the computer. I went back to my main user account (second account set up = non administrator account) and to my main iPhoto library, logged into iCloud, tried turing on PS = did not work.
If I do the exact same thing as above for a restore of a backup of my library = does not work.
If I do the exact same thing above but log in with my first account (not my main one but it is the admin account on the computer) and access the test library I created = PS works just fine with no problem.
It seems the problem with PS is limited to my primanry account (non-admin). Do you think the admin privaledges difference between the two accounts could be the problem...?
As always, I am thankful for your time and advice.

ICloud Photo Library Problems

So I recently was running out of space on my iPad, so I decided to try out iCloud Photo Library. I selected Optimize iPad Storage and let it upload photos overnight, though it didn't make any progress at all so I just decided to disable it. Later when I was scrolling through my photos, I noticed some were missing, about 150. I logged on to iCloud.com and saw that they were all there. I was very relieved that all my photos didn't just vanish. What I need to know is how to get the photos on iCloud back onto my iPad. When I turn back on iCloud Photo Library, is given me a message saying "iCloud Restore in Progress. iCloud Photo Library will begin syncing when this device has finished restoring from backup." Even though iCloud backup is off and I am 100% sure there is no backup in progress.
If anyone can help, that would be great.

i too am suffering from the same problem ..i deleted all my iphone library...all my photos were in icloud ....once i did turn on icloud photo library der are two option either optimize storage or 2nd option download full resolution photos....

Hi I just need to know how I can upload folders of photos to icloud and send a link to clients as in Mobile Me, I'm a professional photographer so it needs to be as good as the mobile me. I've been looking at alternatives but need to be able to send links

Hi I just need to know how to upload folders of images to iCloud and send links to clients from my iphone when on location as was simple with MobileMe. I'm a professional photographer so it needs to be as easy as it was under Mobile Me. I've looked at several alternatives but they don't seem to give the same facilities of uploading folders from the Mac then sending the link from the iphone. It seems that the iCloud does n't offer this facility so any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
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.

ICloud photo library (beta) problem

Hello, I updated my iphone 6 to iOS 8.1 and was trying to activate the iCloud photo library (beta) but I have a problem.
When I turn on the option a popup says that the sync will start when the device restore from iCloud will be finished.
Obviously I'm not doing any restore from iCloud at this time. I restored from an iCloud backup a month ago when I purchased the new phone and everything seems to be perfectly fine: I have all my apps, photos, contacts, etc.
One thing I noticed is in my photos app there's a spinning wheel saying the photos are syncing (see screenshot) but that's not true: all the photos are there and there're no unfinished downloads.
I also tried to erase the phone and restore a backup from itunes but it didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

I'm running 10.10.1. I'll try updating that in addition to the phone OS.
Don't forget to make a full backup of your Mac, before you upgrade, better safe than sorry.
With iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you could download your photos directly from iCloud, while your Photo Stream will not work:
If you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone, the iCloud webpage will change for you:
This page https://www.icloud.com will show an additional app:
And if you click the Photos.app on that page, it will take you to a page showing your photos, https://www.icloud.com/#photos
That link is dead for you, as long as you are not using iCloud Photo Library. It will show you the Moments and Albums, just like the Photos.app on the iPad or iPhone.

Problems on uploading photos to iCloud photo library

I had a problem on uploading photos to the iCloud photo library yesterday.
It shows that my mac is uploading my photos to iCloud but the numbers have stuck for days, I checked my WIFI and rebooted my mac for two times but it still didnt work.
I also turned on iCloud photo library on my iPad air and, similarly, the numbers still stayed the same....

There is probably maintenance work going on. Today I go continually warnings, that the photos cannot be found, when I tried to access iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from the iCloud page. Other threads reported, that the iCloud Photo Library (Bata) page was continually stuck on updating.
It is still a Beta service after all, accessional undergoing updating and reconstruction.

London pictures disappear after enable iCloud Photo Library. It is any kind of problem with UK? =)

I have about 1000 pictures in my iPhone. (About 900 from Brazil, took with my Brazilian SimCard).
Last year, I went to London and took about 50 pictures there. In that time, my iPhone was a 4S, with iOS7. (With a UK Number from a UK SimCard, don't know if this is relevant).
2 Months after, I went to US and purchased a 5s. Took about 50 pictures too, (With a US number, from a US card).
Today, I did the update to iOS 8.1, but when I enabled the iCloud Photo Library, all pictures from London just disappear.
Before iOS 8, we had something like that in iOS 7 ( I guess it was iCloud sync), and every time I do enable this thing, all pictures from London disappear. I have to restore my backup and let the feature off to have my pictures.
Anyone have any hint about why this is happen, or how to solve this thing?

Well by luck I figured out.
Restored the backup that I had with all pictures.
Went to the photo Library and selected the photos that disappear.
By some reason, don't know why, a "save" option appeared to me. I clicked in save (don't know from where to where), and when I turned on the Library sync again. Tandam!! The photos didn't disappeared.
Anyone know how to explain this?

ICloud photos problem

I have an IPad with the up to date software of 8 on but my iPhone 5 hasn't because there isn't enough space to update yet. On both devices I had camera roll with roughly 700 photos, my photo stream with over 700 photos, a panoramas album, a videos folde with 33 videos in an another album with roughly 160 odd photos in. I then upgraded my icloud space so I could upload all my things Safetly, on the iPad i then turned on in iCloud and photos the iiCloud photo llibrary beta and turned on as suggested the ooptimise ipad storage.
Then on the iPhone my photo stream went down to 42 from over 700 photos, on the iPad the camera roll and my photo stream folder have gone and been replaced with an all photos folder but inside is only 377 photos in there! I logged into iCloud on another machine and there is only 377 photos on there. Where have my photos gone and what has happen??
can anyone help please as I really don't understand what's happened.

Hi sam09s,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The resource below may explain what has happened to your photos and videos when you enabled the iCloud Photo Library beta. I'll highlight some of the key points, but please click on the link for complete details.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6378
What do I need to use iCloud Photo Library?
You need an Apple ID, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8.1 or later, and enough storage in iCloud.
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
What if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud Photo Library?
iCloud Photo Library won't upload lower resolution photos and videos synced to your device from iTunes. You can use these steps to move the photos from your computer to your iOS device.
OS X Yosemite
Use Airdrop to copy the photos from your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Make sure that you're signed in with the same Apple ID on your computer and iOS device.
Unlock your iOS device and turn on Airdrop.
Open a new Finder window on your Mac and choose Airdrop in the sidebar.
Drag the photos onto the icon for the iOS device in the Finder window.
OS X Mavericks or earlier and Windows
Upload the photos to the beta Photos app on iCloud.com:
Sign in to iCloud.com using the same Apple ID you use for iCloud Photo library.
Click iCloud Photo Library.
Click the Upload button.
Select the photos you want to upload.
Click OK.
What happens when I go over my iCloud storage limit?
If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices. To continue using iCloud Photo Library, upgrade your storage plan or reduce the amount of storage that you're using.
I hope this information helps ....

Sharing Photos that are already on iCloud Photo

Hi, all!
Well, I know iCloud Photo is on its beta stages, but here are some details that I found very frustrating and cannot seem to share some of my photos yet.
I will explain in three main trials, otherwise the post might be just too long(er than it already is).
The prologue:
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a trip with a few friends and each one of us took photos with our own respective phones.
Note that, before the trip, my iCloud Photo was already enabled with the "Optimize iPhone Storage" function.
The first try:
After we came back, I was asked to share the pictures I've taken and (since I am not really a fan of Facebook photo sharing) I tried to do it by AirDrop.
But I couldn't because the "Preparing" pop-up was taking forever - I guess it was downloading the pictures from iCloud Photo (where it was backed-up to optimize my phone's storage).
The second try:
I went on iCloud.com and tried downloading the images to a friend's computer.
Again, around 300 pictures was taking forever to download each one separately and there wasn't an option to "Share Album" on the website - so, I gave up.
The third try:
I created a "Shared Album" on my iPhone and invited my friends.
However, most of the pictures could not be posted when I tried (the several times).
Once more, I am thinking it is the iCloud Photo optimizing my storage and, since the photos are not actually on my phone, they have to be downloaded before being posted.
I have also added the pictures to an album stored in my phone, but it seems that there isn't an option to "Share an Existing Album" - and I guess that this was less time-consuming, so does not count as a trial(?).
The conclusion:
I believe that the problem is on the "Optimize iPhone Storage" function that makes necessary the download of all the backed-up photo before it can be shared, by any means.
The possible solutions:
1. One feature that could help is not having to download the backed-up photos when sharing them on iCloud.
2. Sharing albums directly from iCloud.com, then the photos would not have to be downloaded - with the addition of a function to download bulk pictures in a compacted file (e.g.: .zip, .rar) and "Select All";
3. "Share an Existing Album" would be nice as well.
Finally, the question:
You might be able to tell already that I have a slow internet and that this was more of a complaint than an actual question.
So, any other suggestions on what I could do to share these nearly-300 photos that my friends are already cursing at me to send them?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you turn off photo stream it will only remove the photo stream album, it won't remove photos from your camera roll.

Ghost album on iCloud/Photos app

Hi guys!
Well, I can't solve this "bug".
A few days ago, I created a album on my Photos app in Yosemite (10.10.3). OK.
This album was sync with iCloud. OK.
I decided delete this album on Photos. And he was gone of Photos, apparently. But in iCloud, NOT. Days passed, and I saw this album on a app in my iOS. So I searched on my Photos and the album showed up. But only on search result, not in album list (physically). In my MBA (Photos app), same thing happened.
Please, I need assistance. I tried many solution, but without success.
I want and need DELETE this album.
I have iCloud Photo Library activated in both devices.
I hope I have been clear with my problem.
Thanks!
PS: Sorry by my english. I'm brazilian.

If you have the same problem be sure to also fill a bug report. The more reports Apple gets about this problem the better are the chances they solve this problem.
Yeah, a lot of users have a same problem, I guess.
I'll send this error on bug report page. This bug started for me on betas of Yosemite. Before, I don't saw it happens.
I hope Apple fix this on the next updates.
You could fix it in some other way?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

Windows 7 -- Can't view contents of iCloud Photos folders.

On a Windows 7 (x64) PC when opening iCloud Photos from Favorites in Windows Explorer, the individual subfolders open to a blank page.
Syncing works fine, thumbnails show in folders (My Photo Stream, Activity, and any folders I've created). Right-Clicking on a 'folder' and selecting "open folder location" works properly. Double-Clicking on a folder shows a blank pane. No problem on another Windows 7 computer. Suspect some Windows setting is preventing this from working properly. [iCloud 4.0]

Alpendave
That's correct.
Other possibilities include:
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Depending on the site your uploading to PictureSync might also help.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model: MC774C/A; IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329).
While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca. The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada). (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.) Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi. During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine. I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house. I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at. I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
