Iphoto 9.6 shared photostream photos are in trash

I just updated to iPhoto 9.6 after installing Yosemite. When I clicked on the iCloud tab it asked me to activate iCloud photos. I said yes, and the shared albums I have on my phone and iPad show up as expected. The problem is that the photos themselves do not show up. I noticed there is a folder in my desktop trash (not the separate trash file in iPhoto) named iPhoto. In that folder is all the photos from the shared photo streams. I have no idea how they wound up there. The photos appear in the proper albums on my iOS devices. Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem, with a slightly different preceding step.  After upgrading to Yosemite & installing iPhoto 9.6, I opened iPhoto and everything seemed to be as it should be.  I then imported some photos.  All was still ok.  I tried to add some photos from that new import to an existing shared photo stream, and they wouldn't upload.  No new photos appeared in the photostream.  I then opened iPhoto preferences, and iCloud Shared Photostreams was turned off - note that it had always been on previously.  I reenabled it, and after spinning for a very long time, my newly selected photos for uploading were added to the photostream, but ALL of the other photos from that photostream and every other shared photostream were moved to Trash - not iPhoto trash but directly to desktop trash.  I was smart enough to pull them out of trash and set them aside so I don't lose them permanently, but this looks like a major defect in iPhoto 9.6.  Shared photo streams are NOT preserved properly across the upgrade.
Note that the existing shared photostreams appear to never re-sync after this, so there appears to be 0 photos in them until new ones are added.

  • I have Windows7.  HOw can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photostream

    I use Windows7.  How can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photosteam photos using ICloud?

    How are you doing the downloading?
    If you download raw files with iPhoto, iPhoto can only edit the JPEG preview that is embedded with each raw file. iPhoto is not a true raw editor, because it's a consumer-level product, not professional-level.
    The files should remain in RAW format if you download any of these ways, by using:
    Apple Image Capture (in your Utilities folder)
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (comes with your camera, but since the 40D is so old, go to the Canon site and upgrade your copy to the latest version for compatibility with the latest Mac OS X)
    Apple Aperture
    Adobe Lightroom
    Any other professional raw organizer/editor like Capture One

  • I can't shut down iphoto, it continues to say "photos are being imported to the library"

    I tried to download about 70 photos from my camera and it kept saying 1 photo remaining for over 30 minutes so I removed my camera and just figured there was something wrong with the download.  Now, when I try to shut down iphoto it continues to say "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  This has been going on now for 2 hours.

    Type Command+Option+Esc and in the Force Quite Applications window select iPhoto and force quit it.

  • Hi, after ugrading iphoto 9.3, all the photo are duplicated

    Hi,
    I've got a big library (over 20.000 photo, 255 events), most of them are in raw (taken with d300 and d800). but after upgrading to iphoto 9.3, all the photo are duplicated.
    i open the library with aperture 3, in aperture no duplicated photo and create a new library with the export functionnality. open this new library with iphoto, all the photo are duplicated. this is very annoying imagine the time spend to manage this library...
    if i open the original library it says each time the iphoto detects inconsistency and ask to repare, accept, take around 20 minutes without errors, but nothing changes.
    need help, please... any idea?

    hi finally fixed :
    - open the corrupt library with aperture
    - export to a new library
    - open with iphoto
    - rebuild the library
    the photo aren't duplicated anymore
    - regenerate the thumbnails to repair manually the dead links
    3 days of work for that and a hot mac...

  • I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums.  How do I find them and put them back in? (1800 photos.)  Help.

    I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums. (1800 photos.) How do I find them
    and put them back where they belong?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • TS3989 I had photos on my camera roll on my old phone, bought a new one and selected those photos to be a shared photo stream but when I sent it to my wife and opened it on my new phone it says there are no photos shared - these photos are more than 30 da

    Just bought a new iPhone 5 and wanted to send pics from my camera roll on my iphone 4 as a shared photo stream to my new phone and my wife's phone.
    I selected the pictures and created the photo stream and it showed up on my new phone and she was able to accept invite, but when opened the stream contained 0 photos and a message that says "No Shared Photos"
    These pictures were admitedly older than 30 days. Is that the rule that pictures from your camera roll older than 30 days cannot be shared as photo stream?
    I apprecaite all guidance on this issue. For those answering - yes everything else photostream wise is connected and working so there's no issue with setup - my question simply is can a user upload photos older than 30 days from the camera roll to a shared photostream?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    30 days is only applicable to My photostream and even then it applies from the time they were added not mwhen they were taken (unless it's the same time)
    I'd be inclined to restart your wife's phone and see if that helps, otherwise you might try turning photostream off and on again on her phone.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Shared Photostream: Photo Order for Public Web site

    I create a Shared Photostream.
    I add pictures to the Photostream.
    The people getting the stream who are on iOS devices see the photos in the order they were added to the stream.
    First In, First Out.
    However, when I create the Public Website it appears that the photos are in the reverse order.
    The last ones added to the stream are the first one seen.
    Is the photo order just a coincidence? Or should there be a pattern to it? Consistent with the Website?
    Thanks!

    This is what they will be emailed:

  • Iphoto has stopped sharing my photos to facebook

    My iphoto 09 has stopped exporting/sharing my photos to facebook.
    I always uploaded in this manner earlier, but for some strange reason, it doesnt work with a click of a button anymore.
    If I click on the FB icon, after selecting the respective album, it comes up with this massage, ' Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to FB? Though it already was set up...
    Neverthless, I do that, I select - Set up- after which, it takes me to my preexisting FB page, in a little window...where I can navigate withen it...but then there is no other option...except, 'cancel'. So I end up clicking/selecting,  'cancel'.
    My mac book OS is 10.7.5.
    Please advice.
    Am I doing something wrong...?

    Appearently there is an issure between iPhoto and FB - there are many reoports of this - one work around is to export photos to a desktop folder un use a browser to upload from there
    And someone posted a suggested solution a week or so ago - I have no idea as to the validity of the solution but some people seemd to find it helpful - you can find it by searching the forums (maybe even in the more like this list) and see what you think about it

  • Shared Photostream photo size

    Hi gang,
    When I share photos using Photostream, the shared photos that the invited guests see are much smaller than the original. For example, a 7 MB pic becomes less than 1 MB.  Is there something I am doing wrong?  How do I share the photos using Photostream so that other people can download the original file?
    Cheers!

    see this article for info on Photostream
    an excerpt form it
    What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
    On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

  • IPhoto 6 Hangs When "Recovered Photos" Are Opened

    iPhoto 6 "recovered" 300+ photos when I updated from iPhoto 5. I can still see the recovered photos in both my library and albums, but if I double-click on the photos, iPhoto 6 hangs with a spinning ball icon requiring a Force Quit to recover. I can open the photos in the "Recovered Photos" album, but I'm not sure how to get them back into my library and other albums. Has anyone been able to do this?
    Thanks, Will
    G5, 2 GHz, Dual Processors   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    When upgrading to iPhoto 6, the 'recovered photos' it finds are stored as follows:
    a if you opt to import the photos when iPhoto asks, they are left where iPhoto found them (or lost them, depending on how you view it...) in the 'year' folder system, within the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder; e.g. 2005>12>15>photo.jpg, 2003>10>05>photo2.jpg etc. Within iPhoto itself the photos are grouped in one new roll, and an album is created in the Source list called "Recovered Photos".
    b if you opt not to import the photos, they are moved from the 'year' folder system in the Finder into one folder within the iPhoto Library folder, entitled "Recovered Photos". The 'year' folders can be deleted, if they are still there - you should find that they are empty and they are not used by iPhoto 6.
    In Case b you can move the "Recovered Photos" folder to anywhere you like, e.g the Desktop, as the photos are no longer associated with iPhoto. In fact, if you decide you need to import some or all of the photos back into iPhoto, you will have to move the RP folder to another location as iPhoto will disallow any import from within the iPhoto Library folder.
    Take care either way; in my case I had 1014 recovered photos, which included all of the following:
    a originals of some of my photos, the edited versions were still in iPhoto
    b random duplicates of original photos
    c photos, both original and edited versions, which I had deleted long ago - sometimes as long as 2-3 years, many versions of iPhoto ago!
    When I have chance soon I intend to document my own personal recovery procedure / experience, in case it helps anyone else when upgrading. In the meantime, feel free to ask if you have any questions...

  • How do I ask iPhoto to stop sharing select photos with Flickr ?

    I have selected some 200 photos to "share" with Flickr, unknowing it meant synching, not just uploading.
    Now I want to remove some of those photos from Flckr but want to keep the local copies on iPhoto (9.5.1) in my Mac intact. I hear  removing on Flckr side would cause the one in my Mac to be removed also.  I don't want this to happen.
    So before doing so, I would like to cancel sharing of this photo. But I see no way to undo sharing.  Is there a magic key stroke to cause sharing to end?

    You can not cancel the sharing of a photo
    You can log out of Flickr =in iPhoto and the the syncs will not occur
    You can remove the photo from the Flickr shard set with removing it from the iPhoto library by selecting the photo in the Flickr album on iPhoto and pressing delete - this will delete forma he Flickr album on iPhoto and from Flickr but not from the iPhoto library

  • I don't know where my photostreamed photos are saved on my PC

    I see it in my iCloud photostream, but don't see the pc folder where it uploaded (if it did).  Didn't see in the iCloud folder where to direct the photos to go.

    Hello andersda,
    The location of your Photo Stream photos can be determined by opening the iCloud for Windows, then clicking Options next to Photos, then clicking Change to view the path to which your photos are downloaded.
    Open iCloud for Windows, then turn on Photos.
    My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
    To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.

  • Iphoto '08: ALL OF MY PHOTOS ARE GONE, What can I do?

    I was loading new photos into my iphot 08, then the program stopped working, when i re-opened it, there are not photos in there!!!
    How can I get them back?!?!?!
    THank You!!
    Please help!!

    As always: restoring from your back up is the surefire solution.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • All of my albums just disappeared from Iphoto 9.1.3.The photos are still there.

    How can I restore the albums in the bar on the left side of the screen when  IPhoto is open?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Mail and iPhoto crash when "sharing" a photo

    Recently I started to have a problem on one of my Macs.....when in iPhoto, and I select a picture, and the click on Share to send that picture via an email, my Mail comes up but NOT with the usual new email window with photo in it, and then BOTH programs freeze up! I then force quit each program, and they work just fine after boot up....until I want to "share" a picture. I do not think it is a problem with iPhoto.....I created a whole new library with only 1 photo in it, and it does the same thing. This whole thing works fine on another Mac I have. I did recently purge thousands of old emails from my Mail....I wonder if something is screwed up in my Mail folder? I guess the next step is to somehow create a whole new Mail folder. Anyone else out there seen this or have any ideas?
    thanks, Bruce

    ....well, I just removed my Mail folder from the Library, and booted up Mail so that it created a whole new folder. Bingo.....that fixes the iPhoto share problem. NOW the problem is: HOW DO I GET ALL MY OLD EMAILS BACK INTO THE NEW MAIL FOLDER? I did try to simply drag over that folder to the new Mail folder, and the individual saved folders show up on my Mail screen, but with nothing in them! So....anyone out there know how to get all my old stuff back?
    thanks, Bruce
