IPhoto 11 across devices

Hello,
I would like to use iPhoto on the cloud however my iPhoto is iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2 and can't be used with the cloud? I would also just generally like iPhoto 11.
I have purchased iPhoto for iPad and iPhone, at a cost $15. I recently ugraded to Mountain Lion at a cost of $20. Do I really need to pay out yet more money to get iPhoto 11 for my Macbook?
I would have thought the latest version of iPhoto was included in Mountain Lion. Please advise if I have to pay to upgrade.
Thank you.

Do I really need to pay out yet more money to get iPhoto 11 for my Macbook?
Sorry, yes, you will have to buy iPhoto '11 for your Mac.
The iLife applications are not part of the Mac OS, and the change from iPhoto '9 to '11 is a new release, not a free upgrade.
iPhoto on IOS (iPad, iPhone) is a completely different program, written for a different architecture, that will not be able to run on Mac OS X.

Syncing iphoto across devices

Is there a way to sync iphoto on my imac and mbpro so that they have the same pics? I'm sure there is, but can't seem to figure it out.

What do you mean by "Sync".
The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A.
The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.

What is the best way to edit photos and save changes across devices (without using iphoto)

So I took allot of vacation photos with my iphone and created a photo stream so they can be viewed across devices. Some are dark and I would like to lighten them up and have the changes saved across devices. What is the best way? I originally tried saving all photos to my pc, editing them them, then syncing to all devices via my pc but, this creates 2 folders on my phone, the actual folder with said vacation name and a folder titled "photo gallery" with the exact same photo's. Not sure why it does that.
Any suggestions?

All photos transferred from your computer are saved in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The same applies if you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, or a single album or folder.
Similar to an iTunes playlist on your iPhone. You can listen to a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or listen to all songs by selecting Music. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
You can place the edits in the photo stream on your computer, or in the photo stream on your iPhone or other iOS device, and delete the originals in the photo stream prior to the editing.

After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.

Why can't I use iBooks Text Books across devices?

iBooks 2 is incredible with its introduction of Text Books, as is the ability for anyone with a Mac to start developing texts via iBooks Author. This has revolutionary potential written all over it.
BUT, just one thing Apple:
Why in the last year have you pushed so hard to integrate/sync devices via the Cloud, only to introduce a phenomenal tool like the Text Books which can only be used on one device, the iPad, and almost blatantly makes no intention to talk to other devices?
I have invested in the whole Apple product line. I am invested in the ecosystem entirely. Why can I not start reading/note taking from my Biology Text in class on my iPad, continue skimming it from where I left off on my iPhone while going home on the train, and finally pull up the Text Book in iBooks on my Macbook (complete with my notes from the day) where I ultimately want to cut and paste my noted text to be used as quotes in a term paper I am composing in Pages (and what if Pages even talked to iBooks and auto formatted a Bibliography based on the text I have dragged and dropped)? As a student this scenario is not only very forseeable, but neccessary if I am to go over to a digital book format.
Why is this not possible? Should I honestly believe it is the result of poor planning, or rather a strategy to boost iPad sales by making Text Books explicit to the iPad?
After all, in a parallel analogy to the above, Apple ecosystem users can currently: start a film on their iPad, pick up where they left off on their iPhone, and then ultimately finish the film on their Mac or Apple TV. I can even start a normal book on my iPad and leave a bookmark, which I can later pick up on my iPhone. This is awesome and exemplifies the consideration and rigorous thought that I have grown to expect Apple to put in to their products. The devices talk to each other and "it just works." But is apple really allowing all of this, except when it comes to TEXTBOOKS, which is an educational tool?
If the digital Text Books are really going to do so much to revolutionize education, then shouldn't Text Books be available across ALL devices and to all people who ALREADY own iOS/OSX devices in order to reach its maximum potential for influencing a change in education? If these tools are really so revolutionary and represent a paradigm shift, then they will speak for themselves and schools will naturally get on board and dole out the money for the class sets of iPads.
Please Apple, I switched over for a reason. Mostly due to your philosophies and ability to make things that "just work". Don't sell out here. Not allowing Text Books to be accessed across devices does not have the markings of a "paradigm shift in the dark ages of education", but instead reeks of a slick marketing scam by the most successful company in the world to pump tax money out of education budgets into the overflowing pockets of Apple. Shame on you. That is not giving to education, that is taking.
Make good and develop TextBooks to work across ALL iOS/OSX devices, please.
Respectfully,
A teacher/student

My understanding is that you can use the Cloud on any device you want but only one at a time. Just as you can install the Creative Collections on as many computers as you wish but it can only be activated on two at a time but which is not really true since you can only use one of them at a time anyway.
I think the wording about this should change.
For insance I travel and may or may not wish to lug a laptop with me. It is my understanding that I can when raveling log into the CC download m apps and use them on any computer capable of running the apps and work away, But since I am logged in at a different location on a different device it will only work on that device.
And this is the way it shoulkd work because say you travel and your laptop is lost or stolen then you should be able to still use your apps and also stop them from working on the lost computer by logging in somewhere else.
This is the way Iunderstand the advantages of the Cloud. It is designed to be flexible and not inhibiting.
Now on the other had if I ahsd an assistant that I want to use these apps then it makes sense to purchase a license for them as well.
It is one license for one user as it should be but that user can access it where ever they need it.
That is my understanding.

Calendar won't sync across devices and other issues

Hello all,
I am running latest versions of IOS 8 on IPAD Air2, iPhone5S and latest Yosemite on IMAC intel last year model.
There are few issues here....
In Mavericks when I edited an event in calendars it would show up almost immediately on my phone. No more. In Yosemite I would edit an event and it seems like a 50/50 chance it would RETAIN in the Yosemite calendar. And if it does, it does no sync across devices. This is a pain in my ***.
Second issue is when I use the 'shutdown' feature top left corner of OS X, the unit would begin to shut down then the spinning logo would keep spinning and unit would never shut down. The energy saver would take effect. I come from work thinking it was shut down, press the power button on back and the unit 'wakes' and continues with spinning shutdown logo.
Third issue, my iPhone randomly asks for the iCloud password, even though it is enable across all of my three devices.
Other than these issues I love Yosemite and IOS 8, but these are really kicking me from behind.
I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

OK, are you sure the events you are adding are added to an icloud calendar, only iCloud calendars will sync. Tap the calendar button to make sure all your calendars are iCloud calendars. Are changes making it to iCloud.com

Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
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. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
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.
Have a great day,
Joe

Need common interface across devices for word processing and spreadsheets with shared files

Need software for Mac, PC, iPad & iPhone with common word processing interface across devices (spreadsheet as well).
Need shared access to files through home NAS or cloud.
Trying MS Office 365, Google Docs & Sheets, OpenOffice,
Trying iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, WD MyCloud.
So far each has fatal flaw.
Suggestions?

Office, Office for Mac and the Office Apps for iOS can all read from and write to OneDrive. You can create folder structures however you want them, and read files from them normally though the Apps.
You do need an Office 365 subscription for certain editing features on the iPhone Office Apps though.
As to a backup, from either the PC or the Macbook, you should be able to simply drag and drop your files to the external drive form the OneDrive folder.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onedrive/id823766827?mt=12
You can access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Updates are applied almost immediately.

"Sent" and "Trash" mailboxes not syncing across devices

Pdf sync across devices does not work

is anyone experiencing problems with syncing PDF files across devices? My PDFs are not the same across the 3 devices I use.

So I managed to solve this Problem.
First: Be patient in itunes, as it takes some amount of time for changes to show up there. (after 10s it should be there - I also closed the applications quite often.)
Second make a backup of your calendars in the calendar app - you should have a file with a icbu-ending that contains your data. It's most likely you won't lose data.)
do a filesystemrepair on the basic level - reboot and hold cmd + s to boot into single user mode and type in fsck -fy and wait for your mac to finish the filesystem repairs (if there were any errors to be corrected.)
Reboot and do a parameter reset hold down cmd + option + p + r and wait for the second startup sound.
Turn on iCloud-sync for my calendar within OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8)
Turn on iCloud-sync on my iPad (iOS 5.1.1)
Turn iCloud-sync off on both devices and swipe both calendars. (On my iPad it went through right away - only birthdays from Contacts left. - On the Calendar-App in OS X I had leftovers.)
Checked my Calendar-app and deleted all leftovers and closed Calendar. - I repeted this step a few times until iTunes would only show me one last calendar named "Calendar")
I confirmed that i was close by creating a new test-calendar in the calendar-App named test which showed up in iTunes (Hurra!)
I restored my calendars with the import-function in the calendar-app.
I cleaned up duplicate Google-Webcals.
I synced the calendar with iTunes AND replaced the entries on my iPad.
I synced with my iPhone AND replaced the entries there as well.
I did a last sync with my idevices.
Poooh. Thanks half a day later I'm back to normal. Calendars showing up again on my mac and my iDevices.

How to delete emails across devices

I want to be able to delete emails once but find if I delete from my iPad mini or iPhone, they still appear on the iMac desktop. How do I get deletions to synch across all three devices?

Unless your email account is an IMAP account, you have to delete the email on each device. The actions in a POP email account do not sync across devices. That only works with IMAP accounts.

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud?

Can books/pdfs saved in iBooks be transferred across devices (iPad2 and iPhone4) with iCloud? My documents in Pages is on both the ipad and iphone automatically as soon as i connect both to wifi. The stuff in ibooks did not do this. Also- I am backing up my phone right now to icloud... it says must be plugged in, connected to wifi, and locked. So after I do this, all of my icloud-able contents will be available on my ipad??

You might look into using Dropbox for that. I use it between Macs but haven't tried it with my Phone.

Domain joined Windows 8.1 using OneDrive to sync passwords across devices

Background : Domain joined Windows 8.1 devices using OneDrive to sync settings across devices, including "Passwords" under Other Settings. Domain user accounts are NOT local administrators.
Issue : When one drive goes to sync Wireless network security settings (passphrases etc...), a User Account Control (UAC) dialogue pops up from "Program Name : Networks" to enter administrator credentials. Domain users do not have administrator access
to local computers by strict policy.
The only way identified so far to stop the dialogue pop-up is to disable the password sync by group policy. However, that turns off ALL password syncing, including passwords desired to be sync'd, that do not encounter this issue.
Can the UAC be suppressed? Is there a way to NOT sync the wireless password settings?
Welcome any thoughts, direction, assistance, etc... :) Thanks much and have a good day!

Hi,
I searched around but haven't find one way to achieve this, thus I'm afraid that we're unable to prevent the specific network password setting. the syncing settings for all passwords are combined together.
To suppress UAC, we can turn off the UAC under control panel\User Account or via GP Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ,but we don't recommend this.

Since updating to iod7, my iBooks app no longer syncs across devices. Please advise.
Frankly, the new iOS7 has many flaws that have shown up.

Hi mgoksoy,
Cheers for your reply.
It doesn't appear to affect every 4S. I don't know if theres specific batches it affects or maybe its location based, but i have a friend who has the same phone as me and theirs did exactly the same thing only after doing the firmware update. I'm pretty confident it is a bug. Looking around on google, it seems like its happening to a lot of other 4S users.
I have done a settings reset, didn't fix it. Did a settings and content reset, didn't fix it. Did a full recovery back to the backup i did when i first purchased it, didn't fix it. None of these things changes the firmware.
I am pretty appalled that apple would release a firmware upgrade with such an obvious problem for 4S users. Did they not test it first? Now i am finding multiple texts from people asking me things hours after they messaged me because the sounds don't work. Not impressed.

What version of iTunes are you running?

Using CC Across Devices

Hi Guys
Probably a silly question. I had thought the idea behind CC was it could be used in a mobile way across devices, or there would be versions that could be loaded onto tablets, etc., as part of the subscription. Yet, when I check out the list of products on the CC home page, they all seem for PC's only. I have a Samsung GN 10.1 and the only Adobe software I have found (in the Google Play Store) appears to be "PS Touch" (which is, well... we won't go into that).
Have I completely misunderstood or am I looking in the wrong place or have Adobe focused only on products for Apple devices (regardless of the strength of Android)?
This is not a moan, I'm just trying to get up to speed on what might be available (or when).
Regards,
Graham

Agree with Graham. Adobe seem interesting in taking Android users subscription fees but not in providing them with the same apps as Apple users. Doesn't seem to be a popularity issue with the greater size of Android users vs Apple, so must be more to it. Usual Adobe silence though so don't expect to get any useful info. I got an email today, yet again, advertising Adobe mobile apps but highlighting its only for Apple users. Adobe don't even seem to want to canvas Android users opinions either, but suspect they already know the answers anyway, just don't want to face them.
