IOS 8 Photos: Hide and Hidden Album

I think is must be missing the point of the "hide" option and "Hidden" album in iOS 8 Photos app. More specifically, it would make sense to me if, viewing the "Hidden" folder we're password protected. As it is now though, best I can tell, all it seems to do is move the photo to an album called "Hidden" that anybody can still view.
To clarify, I'm only speaking strictly in terms of how it shows up on the iPhone itself. Maybe it has effects upon other considerations, like whether or not it gets backed up to icloud?
But as far as th presentation on the iPhone, it doesn't seem to do any real hiding, as far as I can tell.
Presumably I'm missing something?

This is such a cluster-f*ck. I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto. Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is. This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority. Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this.
What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto. I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this. Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword. I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad.
Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

How to remove pictures from the photo libary and mobile Albums

Can anyone help me??? How do I delete photos from the Photo Library and Mobile Albums???

CORRECTION. After going to settings, select Photos & Camera. Then select "My Photo Stream". Change My Photo Stream to the "OFF" position. This will delete all the pictures in your picture frame stream, so make sure you want to delete them.

How do I hide the "hidden" Album on my iPad

Previously in iPhoto on my Mac I would use the 'hide' function to stop pictures being sent to my iOS devices, it also meant I could keep collections of photos complete but still edit the content to make it more concise, duplicate/similar pictures would be hidden.
Any content in that was hidden would not sync to iOS.
Now I find the "hidden" album is not only visible, but sits very prominently on the second row of the albums view and is a hotch potch of random images.
Also any "hidden" images are very much visible on iOS within their albums and the all photo view.
How do I hide this album again in iOS?

Photos, AppleTV, and shared Album

I'm going mad in trying to understand how the Apple engineers figured out the Photos and iCloud services.
I've just imported my entire Aperture Library into Photos, ok, no problems at all, i have the same project as i used to have in Aperture.
Uploaded on iCloud and updated my iPhone, nice, up to now all went smooth.
Now, let's try to see some pics on the AppleTV after the update of the ATV software..... well, what is that?
There are 2 places where to look at photos? One is the "App" iCloud Photos located in the home page of the ATV, and here i can see in "My Photo Stream" section just 372 pictures of my 12.000+.
Pictures are not organised in any of the project in the Photos App on the mac, is a complete mess.
The second place is inside "Computer"-->"Photos" and is the classic view where i have all the albums messed up and not organized as inside Photos. So, why ATV has not been updated with the new iCloud logic for viewing photos? At the moment the ATV is totally useless....
2) sharing an album is taking AGES and i'm not even able to:
2a) see it on the ATV
2b) delete the sharing. Should i delete the entire album???
3) with Photos is no more possibile to add GPS tag to the pictures.... , and this is "progress" for Apple?!?
4) After the update of the ATV software is no more possible to play a slideshow of an album listening a soundtrack in the background.
I need help in understanding what i can do to sort out such these problems.....
Thanks

I stream from iTunes, not sync.
I guess I cannot use shared photos in the screen saver?
Correct, they need to be synced
Is it because I'm streaming and not syncing that I can't show "my" photos? If so, can I first sync to establish a library of "my" photos, then switch to streaming without losing the sync'd photos? (I suspect not).
Sorry if its a dumb question. Thanks for help.
Just set up a custom sync and only select only photos to sync - i.e. don't sync movies or tv shows etc, they will stream just the same.
The sync library (assuming tat's how it's set up) streams anything bot synced.

How do I delete photos from my photo library and a album that has come from iTunes

IPhone Photo Library and Album photos to iPhoto

Hello:
I am trying to import the photos on my iPhone to iPhoto. The photos from my Camera Roll will import, but the 2,000 or so photos I have in Photo Library and in my other Albums will not import. How can I transport my Photo Library and other albums on my iPhone to my Camera Roll? Or, how can I get all of them to upload to iPhoto? My end goal is to get them into iPhoto, but if I can get them in the Camera Roll, then that will work.

At least you have that, although as Allan stated, you can never recover the original full-resolution pics from the iPhone (they were optimized to ~0.6 megapixel images, although that may be higher now with iPhone 4's higher-res display).
Still, an external HDD is what you need. Personally, I have two of them, backed up to each at least weekly, and the two drives are stored in different locations (home and offsite). Every 2 months, I also backup pictures and movies to DVD -DL media and store that in a safe deposit box. Even then, a natural disaster affecting my whole area could theoretically wipe destroy it all - so, likely I'll add Mozy soon...
Overkill? Maybe. But my daughter is only going to grow up once, so I'm not going to risk losing the digital memories of these times...

Deleted photo stream but saved the photos in a new album

hi i deleted my photo stream but saved the photos in a new album in my ipod touch but when i deleted it the photos are cannot be found! are there any chance to get those photos recovered? really need help with this. thanks!

No. Since when you create photo albums by using photos from PhotoStream the album only is a pointer to the photo ub PhotoStream
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from the Photos tab and your albums and iCloud. Photos imported from My Photo Stream to other devices won’t be deleted. Learn more about deleting photos.
What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

Photo library has two albums with same pics.

Hey guys, I am having a problem... not really a problem but an annoyance. I have two photo albums on my Ipod touch 4g with the same pictures. I have tried to restore, resynch, anything I could think of too only have one but no5hint worked. What I mean is when I open photos it goes to albums which shows Camera Roll, Photo Library, and My Pictures. The problem is Photo Library and My Pictures have the same exact pictures. How do I get rid of one so Its just like Camera Roll and Photo Library. Thanks for any help.

You cannot.
This is how Apple handles photos.
ALL photos sycned to the iphone will be in Photo library. You can access those exact same photos from the folders/albums thta you chose to sync. Just as one song can be accessed from itunes library and a playlist, the one pic can be accessed from Photos library and the album.

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.

I recently updated to ios 6.1.1 and since then, the photos i am uploading via ios does not show on my timeline or on the newsfeed, but the pictures show in the album. can you help me with it? thanks.

I have upgraded to ios 7.0.2 and now my storage is full and my photos are not in albums as before

I have upgraded to the new ios 7.0.2 and find that my storage is now full and my photo albums have been removed.

BEWARE. The new iPhoto DOES NOT KEEP any of the text that you may have previously entered in your Journals. The Apple engineers have informed me that all of this text is GONE and UNRETRIEVABLE . If you update you will lose all of your text entries from your Journal that will now be called Web journals. The latter cannot be rearranged of renamed in the new iPhoto.

Can't find the "Hidden" album (where photos are meant to go when you "Hide" them).

Any idea where I can find it?
As a workaround, I know I can make a Smart Album to achieve the same thing, but I'm pretty mystified as to why the built-in Hidden album doesn't appear at all, despite it being mentioned in the dialogue box every single time a photo is hidden.
Also, anyone else noticing photos becoming un-hidden for no good reason?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just to be sure you have checked View > Show hidden Album I assume.

You can hide photos in the Photos view, but not in the albums:
Select some photos, ctrl-click, select "Hide". Unhide from the Hidden Album.
Also, how do I delete an Album
You can only delete albums that you created, not the built-in albums.
Select the album in the Sidebar. Ctrl-click it. Select "Delete Album".
