Importing photos from Photo Stream not working properly

I've been trying to work out a way to import photos on my iMac and have Photo Stream push them to my MacBook so they end up in the same Event on both computers. If I have Automatic Upload turned on, the photos I import on my iMac get uploaded to Photo Stream before I get a chance to place them into my intended Event. So I tried turning Auto Upload off, importing photos, placing them into their proper Event, turning Auto Upload back on, and then dragging them to Photo Stream to upload them.
First, it seems like there should be an easier way. But also unfortunately, even though Help in iPhoto 11 (9.2) seems to say this should work (see below), my photos end up in my MacBook's Photo Stream folder, but not in the Event (with Automatic Import turned on on my MacBook). This is what is written in the Help documentation -
Note:  If iPhoto automatically imports a Photo Stream photo that was originally uploaded from a different iPhoto library, or from an Aperture library, iPhoto adds the photo to the Event that matches the one in the original library. If a matching Event isn’t in the destination library, iPhoto creates a new Event with the same name.
I wasn't able to find the photos anywhere in my MacBook Events. As indicated in the note above, they should have been automatically placed in a matching Event of the iMac's library. Any help is much appreciated.

Ever since I went to the cloud all of my new photos have show up in photo stream. I had hoped it would sync and update the events in Photos, no luck. I also uploaded a numbers document to iWork and and could only access it through Safari. The only option I had to actually open it on my iPad was 'open in iBooks'. Really! There's been other occasions of rocky starts so I hope iCloud improves. It has too.

  • IPhone Photo Stream not working properly anymore!

    After years of working flawlessly, photo stream is only transferring some of my photos from my iPhone 4s to iPhoto on my Mac and iPad, even sequential pictures. I have rebooted everything to no avail. There are too many to email; can I move them manually? Suggestions, please!

    I am sorry to hear that, I wish it would have worked for you. Often times I notice that if I take multiple pictures in sequential order or pictures with the shutter feature, it only uploads some.
    If your concern is getting your vacation pictures secure, the best method is to plug in your iPhone to your computer and manually extract them, just as you would a flash drive.
    Sorry!

  • Emailing photos from IPad 2 not working.

    I know how to email photos from the IPad 2, but it is not working on my new replacement.  Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong?

    Assuming that your email is working fine other wise ..... I have no idea as to why it isn't working, but have you tried any basic troubleshooting steps to try to correct it?
    Quit the photos and mail apps and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button. The task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. If you are using multitasking gestures in iOS 5 - you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the task bar. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try a reset.
    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.

  • My previous programme to remove duplicate photos from iPhoto will not work in Photos. I feel I was tricked into buying a remove duplicate app from Apple which, after purchase, indicated it is only for iPhoto. Does anyone else have this problem. Does

    There is no Apple provided duplicate remover application. You must have bought a third-party application. Which application is it?
    Photos is very new, and there are only a few apps, that have been updated to handle Photos Libraries are:

  • Import email from apple mail not working

    I have a simple applescript which imports emails from Apple Mail into filemaker
    tell application "Mail"
              set theSelection to selection
              set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
              content of theMessage
              set the clipboard to content of theMessage as text
    end tell
    This works in the Old Apple Mail in 10.6 but Lion changes everything doesnt it. This is not working in the new Mail 5.1. It will import the first message in the string but not the HIGHLIGHTED message which may be in the message string of 3 or 4. I want it to set theMessage contents of the highlighted message. Does anyone know how to select the highlighted message in a string - sometimes called the selected message. Thanks

    Use and methodically follow the troubleshooting steps in Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276

  • Photo Booth Backdrop Effects Not Working Properly

    Special Effects and Distortion Effects work but Backdrop Effects (Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish, Rollercoaster, Sunset, Yosemite)
    doesn't. It would ask me to step out of the frame and I do, then I get Background Detected and I step in the frame but here's the problem. The backdrop doesn't show correctly. Say I choose 'Eiffel Tower' I can't see the whole backdrop just some of it because my actual background (wall) interferes, in other words I can see both my wall and the backdrop. How can I fix this?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean

  • Imported SVG from Edge Animate not rendering properly in Safari

    Hi,
    We are having problems with an animation we created in Edge Animate, when we import it into Adobe Muse and then view it in Safari it becomes jagged and doesn't render properly.
    It works perfectly on Chrome, Firefox and when using a retina screen.
    We are using CC 2014 version now, previously when we used the old version of CC it worked on all browsers.
    Is there any settings we need to change when exporting from Edge or importing into Muse?
    Here is the link to the Animated SVG: Spining Wheel

    Thanks vivekuma that seems to work now using the below steps.
    1. In "Position and Size" subsection of the property panel, note down somewhere, the values of "X", "Y", "W" & "H" of an svg file used on stage.
    2. In "Transform" subsection of the property panel, change the CSS Transform ScaleX and ScaleY from 10% to 100%.
    3. The above change will change the values for "X", "Y", "W" & "H". So, you have to set their values as you have noted down in the first step.
    4. Repeat the first 3 steps for every svg file used on stage.

  • Rollover slidelet from captivate 4 not working properly in 5

    hey guys,
    I'm using rollover slidelet for a presentation that shows video that is convereted to the proper file type.  I've uploaded to my site an it works fine.  But when I put the file into 5 the videos do not play when I put it on my site just can hear the audio.  I've made sure the skin is uploaded properly.  What could be the problem.  I've also noticed when i go from 4 to 5 some of my captions have to be expanded in 5 to show all of the text.  Can someone please help me out with this....i can't figure this out.

    Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
    No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
    I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

  • Syncing and streaming not working properly

    I have several movies recorded from television that I normally sync to my iphone through itunes. Recently I got Apple TV. Now I format the television recordings for Apple TV. I use an Airport Express as my wireless router. When syncing the Apple TV through iTunes, I have never been able to successfully complete a single television program (avg 1.5 GB) without the Apple TV losing connection from the wireless network. While still frustrating, the workaround has been to stream the programs to the Apple TV. These programs, however, only show on Apple TV once I begin syncing. If while syncing the connection fails, Apple TV fails to recognize the stream and the program stops. I've tried turning off syncing so that I could only watch via stream, but doing so removes the Apple TV from my devices list in iTunes at which point the only way I can reestablish the connection is to disconnect from my computer through the Apple TV interface and then reestablish he connection by running into the other room and inputing the code that was given on my television screen.
    In an effort to isolate the cause of the problem, I checked my iPhone's connection to the wireless network in the house. It turns out that at the same time the Apple TV stops syncing/loses connectivity, the iPhone too loses its wifi connection and switches to 3G. Of course my initial conclusion was that the problem lies with the Airport Express. But then when I check the wifi connection on both of my iMacs, both have solid and full connections to the wireless network. So what's the deal? Are the devices competing for bandwidth? Or does the iMac have a stronger receiver as compared to the iPhone and Apple TV?
    I would appreciate if someone could help me resolve this once and for all. Thank you in advance.

    see this read about possible sources of _*wireless interference*_.
    download iStumbler (free) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel of your network as far away as possible from those as per WC's advice.
    another, more powerful tool, would be KisMac. however, be aware that in some countries the use of KisMac may not be legal !

  • "reopen all windows from last session" not working properly

    Sometimes I will hit a wrong tab and lose all the tabs and pages I am working on.  But when I hit "Reopen All Windows from Last Session" in History, I either get pages from months ago, or some nonsense that Apple is apparently trying to get me to buy.  All I want is my old work up.  How can I get them back quickly and easily (which is what I thought "Reopen All Windows..." was supposed to do)?

  • Workflow - document from template step not working properly

    Hi All,
    We are creating a document from the step "Document from a template" in our workflow .
    This document is then given to the user as an attachment to a user decision step where he modifies that document.
    These modifications to the document are stored in the workflow.
    However if i want to give the same document to another user in another user decision, it gives only a read-only copy to him. Is this how a document from a template works or is there some bug in my coding or a possible workaround
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Amit,
    Have you tried option from menu Document -> load other version , when user opens work item for document from template?
    I think this should serve the purpose of making document editable for other users.
    Hope this helps.
    Regds,

  • File transfer from FAT disk not working properly

    Hi all,
    I have a MacPro with 4 HDD, one of them partitioned with a 300 GB FAT disk.
    Using BOOTCAMP / VISTA 64 I copied files to this disk, but I can't access these folders without errors. Reformatting of the partition didn't solve the problem, somehow I keep getting sort of time outs while accessing the drive.
    In brief:
    - if I try to copy files from the FAT partition onto a HFS+ partition I often get breakdowns, the copy process is stopped due to read errors
    - same if I want to write on the disk
    Any hints? Thanks
