Ios 8 new photo organization

Can't believe the decision to group photos only with the 'Recent' or by Collections. Apple logic doesn't match individual's logic on the groupings. PLEASE go back or find another method!! So many single photos on separate lines in Collections -- even when the date is the same -- such wasted space and scrolling. This way will force us to create albums for everything on our computers and then sync them in iTunes. I've tried 'Selecting' a photo on my iPhone or iPad and trying to move it (or copy it) to an existing album but this has NEVER worked before nor does it work now. When you 'select' the photo and say 'Add', all of the albums I have are grayed out so not able to do this. Is anyone working on this??? Same issue for iPad and iPhones.

IOS 8.2: New photos don't appear in camera roll

Hello,
I am using the latest iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. Very often new photos don't appear in the camera roll. As if they were never taken!
Funniest thing is: in the camera app I can see the last picture in the bottom left but when I click it the camera roll shows me the photo taken before that (so it doesn't show me the one which is shown as a small preview in the camera live view).
Any way to clean up this mess? I tried resetting the phone and restoring an iTunes backup w/o success. Thanks!!!
Cheers Argentinos

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

Location Error in New Photos App IOS 10.10.3

After getting the IOS update for my Macbook Pro, the photos taken the day of and after show up in the new Photos App as having been taken in China. How do I correct the location for these images? All over images prior to this update have the correct location information.

I have no idea, I just connected my phone and this is how they are importing. I haven't opened them in other applications.

I've just downloaded a new photo elements 12 on a mac, but the Organizer won't open.

I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app. How do you hide photos so they don't show anywhere?

I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app. How do you hide photos and videos so they only show in the hidden album. Thanks

When publishing from Lightroom to Facebook, you are always sending them to an album. Lightroom doesn't generate you posts though. Generally Facebook is smart enough to create just one post for all of your images published to a single album. If you are getting individual posts per photo there isn't anything you can do from Lightroom's side to change that. Try refreshing you page your newsfeed or timeline to verify whether individual posts are being created or if it's just a timing issue.
Also, uploading images to Facebook will always result in your file having a different file name on the server and in the page code. No avoiding this, no matter your method of upload.

In new iOS 8 photos app, I am missing photos in photo view that are in album view

All my photos in the iPhoto app on my iMac appear correctly in the album view in the new Photos app on my iPhone 6. However, not all the photos appear in the photos view. To try and get the counts to match, in iTunes, I synced my iPhone after unchecking the syncing of photos. I checked the Photos app on my iPhone and there were no photos. Then I checked to sync all photos in iTunes and synced my iPhone again. Every photo on my iMac was in the album view, but there were still missing photos in the photo view.
Anyone have this problem and a solution?

Thanks for your response. Turns out the iPhotos database was corrupted. I rebuilt it and now the counts match.
I do have summarize photos turned off as you suggested.
But now I have a new problem. I have smart albums in iPhoto on my iMac that correspond to decades. These albums and the photos they contain appear perfectly in the album view on my iPhone 6. However, a few photos in the photos view appear with the wrong date. So I'm working on resolving this.

IPhoto '11 9.4.2 does not recognize new photos on iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1

Today when i connected my iPhone 4 the iPhoto app does not recognize new photos from my photo library on my iPhone. Help! Thanx!

Today, I did try something, i changed to a different USB port and connecting cable from my iPhone to my iMac and with iPhoto already open the photos were visible and i was able to download my newest iPhone photos to my iMac. I did this due to the fact that i had this same connectivity problem with the external back up device i use and when i switched that device to a Firewire cable (from a USB) i can now do external backups. Not sure if the issue is with the cable or the USB port, but this worked for me!

New Photos lacks of functionality

Just my two cents: I have uploaded 10.10.3 and imported my main photo library successfully. Means, the pictures are there. And that is the only positive thing I can say about Photos, because
- there is no way to assign a location (place, geo-tag) a picture within Photos
- the Map has been removed
- the Rating has been removed, the old rating appears under keywords ( 1 Star...)
- the way to organize pictures has been changed, suitable for selfie makers
- the old Events are still existing under iPhoto events
There is a second positive thing, iPhoto is still there !
Overall Photos is NOT a replacement at all. It is a step backwards ! I still remember when Steve Jobs shows the functions of the first iPad and how proud he showed the Map. And how to get all pictures from a location. In IOS it is gone. Now also in Photos. Thanks , good job !

This has happened for LR4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now LR5. The seemingly random nature of this bug is irratating. Last week while still on LR4.4 I published a photo, changed it, and was able to republish it without issue. Today on LR5 I published a set and went to republish a handful of photos only for them to be added as new photos to the set. LR5 indicated that they were photos to republish and not new ones to the set.

Using the new Photos app on multiple devices - confusion!

I find the recent way ios/Photos handles photos quite confusing. I am not too concerned about not having a Camera Roll, but seeing how not having this creates strange behavior when editing/deleting photos, I can see how the Camera Roll is definitely necessary or the whole thing needs revamped to handle things better.
Here's my set up:
iMac with iPhoto
iPhone 5s with the new Photos app
iPad Mini with the new Photos app
The one things I DO like is that whenever I take a photo (or upload in the case of my iMac), the photo is duplicated across all devices. That means I could take a photo on my iPhone and then edit it on my iPad Mini which has a bigger screen. (Well, so I thought..but read below.) Yes, you could do this with Photo Stream, but having all photos in one place is a bit easier to remember and find. I also like that when I delete the photo on the device that I took it on, all photos on the other two devices are also deleted. Easy. Thanks.
But that is where the ease of use ends.
If I delete the photo on any other two devices (i.e. the devices that I did NOT take the photo on), it only deletes on the devices which I didn't take the photo on. In other words, it leaves the photo on the device which I originally took the photo on.
To add to the confusion... if I edit the original photo, the edits do not get duplicated to the other devices! I see the original photo on the devices with which I did NOT take the photo but the edited one is on the original device I took it on.
Let's add even MORE confusion....if I want to edit the photo on a device it was not taken on, I then get a notice that it has to be Duplicated before I can edit it. Well, okay, I do that and then edit it. However, I now have the original showing up twice on the device it was originally taken on...the original photo and the now duplicated photo--it's the EXACT same photo since no edits get carried over from the other device.
I believe all of this is because of what happened when ios 9 combined the functions of the Camera Roll and Photo Stream together. It exhibits both behaviors but since you cannot be sure which photo was taken on which device, you have less understanding what will happen when you try to delete a photo or edit it.
Here's the key headache....What happens if I want to make sure a photo is deleted from ALL my devices and I don't remember which device I took the photo on? I will have to check every device just to be sure! I can't even open up iPhoto on my Mac and delete it from the Photo Stream album because it will remain on the original device. So, I have to check all devices and also iPhoto on my Mac for good measure in case I actually uploaded a photo there--which I do since I am scanning in old photos.
Key headache #2...you end up with duplicates of the photo if you edit the photo on any device on which it was not taken on. You also get different versions of the photo. You end up not knowing which photo was the original. To be sure to have all edited photos eventually on you iMac, you'll need to sync all devices physically to iPhoto.
Who has time to track all this?
What should happen is this...all of the photos, including their edits, should sync exactly on all devices. My Recently Added should look exactly the same across all devices and carry over any edits...now that is what I would call Continuity and Handoff! But as it stands, we don't have anything close to this...is more like Pandemonium and MixUp!
This is really a mess and way too confusing to keep track of. I can only hope this get resolved when Photos on the Mac is released.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

New photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 albums no longer sync into synced albums on OS8 devices.

iPhoto 9.5.1
iOS 8.0.2
Mac Mavericks 10.9.5
Using iTunes, when I sync my selected iPhoto albums (on the Mac) to my iPhone and iPad, new photos added to those albums on my Mac are no longer added to the albums on those devices, but rather are orphaned as loose photos. Or, if they ARE added, it's only through half a dozen trial-and-error tricks I've tried. I never know for sure what trick is working, so I have to ask if there's an easier, dependable way to get albums or folders from my Mac to sync into what's on my devices. I don't want every single photo I have on my Mac on those devices. JUST selected, categorized photo albums so that I can show off categories of my paintings and sculptures to clients.
If iPhoto is being phased out, what's the easier option for creating albums in my "photos" app on my devices and moving those photos from my Mac to the albums?

Use the rebuild function in iPhoto Library Manager. That does not require a purchase. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

In the photos app I have 2 camera rolls and 1 photo gallery. Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks. Please help

Each new photo that I take gets stored in one of the camera rolls, but when I back up the photos to my computer it only backs up the one camera roll, and not any of the new picks. In the one I backed up I have 500 plus photos and the other over 1000. I need to back up the 1000 one- camera roll. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Help .... Please

I backed up my iPhoto library to my EHD then deleted some photo in iPhoto on my iMac to make more HD space. I want to back up iPhoto again to my EHD again but do not want it to overwrite the whole library. How can I make sure it backs up the new photos

Ok so how can i just back up the newer photos to my iPhoto library on my EHD? If it overwrites the backed up library it will delete the older photos that I backed up and then deleted from my iMac HD.

Do you want to back up only your photos and not your current library? Then you will not get a backup of your albums, books, calendars, ..
A lot ofyour organizational work will not be backed up, if you only save the newer photos.
To find the new photos create a smart album:
From Photo's main menu bar: File > New > Smart album
and add a rule: Date is after .... ; enter the date of your last backup.
Then export the photos from this album to a folder on your backup drive.
File > Export > Original
But it would be much better simply to copy the iPhoto library to the external drive, after renaming the older library, so that it will not be overwritten.
Regards
Léonie
You might consider to let TimeMachine do the work and keep track of changed versions.
Use Time Machine to backup the library regularly, so you always can restore a current version aand can find older photos that have been deleted, and make occisiona snapshots of the whole library on a second backup drive.

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

TS3989 New photos I take are not automatically uploaded to photo stream

What happens?
I have turned on my Wi-fi, leave the Camera app
But still
the new photos are only in my album, not the photo stream
so ..
iCloud means nothing to me cos my other devices and laptop cannot receive the copies.
Anyone helps?
Many thanks!

Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position. If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos. For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

Inserting a NEW photo while composing mail is tedious

Many times while composing an email I just want to take a new photo and add it to the email I am just composing.
I would expect this to be possible in the following straightforward manner:
Open the mail app
Create new email, enter adress and subject
Write the mail body
Long tap into mail body, select "Take photo" (a non-existent item)
Take the new photo which is then inserted into the mail body
Send
This operating steps seem most natural and intuitive to me.
Instead in the current iOS I am forced
to switch over from mail app to photo app,
take the photo,
switch back to mail app,
select "Insert photo",
select the album,
scroll all the way down to the last picture
tap the picture just taken
confirm again that i want that picture
then, finally, the picture is inside my mail body. Whew!
This is extremely tedious, counter-intuitive and absolutely not Apple-like.
I just can't understand why especially Apple, known for its simplicity of use, is unable to handle this extremely common use case in a decent way.
Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your quick answer.
Your description presumes that I know I want to send a picture in the first place.
But many times my initial intention is just sending an email. So I open the mail app and start typing. While typing or just before finishing the email, I get the idea of attaching a nice picture of mine, just as an additional niceness. So, there I am stuck, sitting in the mail app and considering if it is worth taking all the fuss of changing an re-changing apps just to insert that silly picture of mine. Eventually I always end up leaving out the photo because it is just too much of a tapping, swiping and scrolling mess.
