IPhoto Albums have no visible content after switching off Photo Stream

Why does the contents of Albums within an iPhoto Library disappear when Photo Stream was switched off on aniPhone?

See if the following will show your original files in the library:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Hi, I switched off photo stream in iphone in settings and as a result those photos even got deleted in iPad. How do I retrieve them? How to use this better to avoid such stuff?

    I switched off photo stream in my iphone and as a result those 1 months photos got deleted on iPad. How can I retrieve them? How to avoid this in future?

    This happened because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo will remain on your device until deleted.  Turning off photo stream deleted them from your device; reconnecting to photo stream redownloads photos from the last 30 days (as older ones are no longer in iCloud). 
    To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  To save photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.

  • Always switch off Photo Stream automatically

    I need to switch it on many time.
    I'm using iPhoto '11, Chinese version

    I'm not entirely sure I understand your question but am going to give it a go. It sounds as if you're trying to watch one thing streamed from your computer to your ATV while someone else tries to use the same iTunes to watch something different on the computer at the same time. That's not going to work. You may be able to both watch the same thing though I admit I haven't tried.
    Additionally, if I recall correctly, iTunes will use whatever Airplay settings were last selected until you change them.

  • Iphoto albums have disapeared from side bar? how do I recover them?

    All my iphoto albums have disareared from the side bar how do I recover them?

    To repair your iPhoto Library you basically select your iPhoto Library in the Finder, hold down the key-combination ⌥⌘ very firmly, then double click the iPhoto library to open the "LIbrary First Aid" panel. Select "Repair Database" to repair your database files in the library. You may also add an "Repair Permissions", if the first repair did not help.
    If all fails, try "Rebuild Database", but that should not be tried without a current backup. Did you bring a portable drive with you?
    You did not mention your iPhoto version; if your version is not the most recent 9.4.3, look at this document on how to run the repair: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

  • Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done (when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?". No way of copying your book before, or restoring it after?

    Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done with a single press of delete (and which can be done when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?" before it happens? No way of copying your book while you are working on it (to make multiple versions of it, or just to have a safeguard copy), and no real way of restoring it after (since, remarkably, the photo books don't appear as items - items which could very easily be recovered otherwise)?

    I get a dialog box when I try to delete a book.
    And if you right click on the book in the left column you can duplicate it so you can have multiple versions.

  • Disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault

    Hi,
    I found my disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault, nearly everything belongs to "system" now.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what permissions are standard for
    -Desktop
    -Applications
    -System
    -Libary
    ore doesn't it matter anyway ????
    Thanks a lot...

    Assuming you're just talking about the Owner being System then:
    The owner of Desktop should be your user name.
    Applications and System should be System. Since these are not in your Home folder these permissions would have been corrected when you ran Repair Disk Permissions.
    The Library folder depends on which Library folder you are talking about. If it's the Library folder that's in the same folder as System and Applications, then the Owner should be System, as well. Again, if that is not in your Home folder, then the permissions repair would have corrected it.
    If, however, it's the Library that's in your Home folder, then it should have your username as the Owner.
    Filevault only affects things that are in your Home folder so turning it on/off doesn't affect permissions anywhere else.

  • When I switch on Photo Stream I don't see an option to switch on shared photo stream

    I am wanting to share an album from iphoto on my Mac (I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) but when I switch on Photo Stream, I am not getting an option to switch on Shared Photo Stream.  Consequently, when I share the photos I've selected from the album to photo stream, I don't get asked for the email addresses of the people with whom I want to share the photos.  Any suggestions?

    this is my problem....I have OS X Mountain Lion v 10.7.5 ie not v 10.8.2 or later...
    That's your problem. You have 10.7.5 -  which is Lion.
    You need to upgrade your OS to 10.8 - which is Mountain Lion.

  • TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

    My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • HT201077 I have turned off photo stream on my iphone but the icloud photos dont disappear

    I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
    They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
    My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

  • IPhoto Albums not seen in iTunes after iOS 6 update

    I upgraded a 3rd gen iPad and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, then updated my Macbook Pro (2.4 ghz quad core i7, 8GB RAM) to 10.8.2 with the requisite iPhoto update.  Now, iTunes will not show my iPad even though wireless sync is enabled, unless the iPad is connected to the laptop via the docking cable.  Both iPhone and iPad error out on synch with an error 1140 if synching photos is enabled.  Under the photo tab, the button to have "selected albums, events and faces" is grayed out.  So I can only select to sync ALL photos or none.  I believe the error 1140 is stemming from my library being too large to sync to the i-device.  In any case, I can no longer choose certain albums that were enabled under iOS 5.  The area below these options in the Photos tab in iTunes also does not show any albums, where it used to do so in a grayed out fashion even if that option was not selected.  Major issue here.  Have tried all the rebuild and repair of iPhoto library.  The kicker is that both the devices I upgraded have the exact same issue, so I'm thinking this is an update/Apple problem, not an issue with my devices or config.

    Ok, all.  I think I found the problem.  In searching for reports of this issue and solutions I found someone that mentioned they had fixed a similar issue with a "free" program called "iPhoto Library Manager."  The app apparently lets you split a library into multiple smaller ones or combine multiple libraries.  Generally it just "manages" your libraries.  I figured I had nothing to lose so I checked it out.  Turns out it costs $19.99 but they do have a free demo. 
    I launched it and it immediately told me that it couldn't display my library and albums due to an issue with the AlbumData.xml file on line 22155.  I read in the documentation of the app under it's "Help" menu that likely causes were a keyword with a "null" character at the end, or a file path being referenced inside the library that had an ampersand or backslash in it.  The person on the board I'd found had had a keyword issue.
    Anyway, I opened the iPhoto library by showing package contents (right click the file to choose this) and loaded up the AlbumData.xml file in TextWrangler, since that displays line numbers.  I found that line 22155 indeed referenced an mp3 in my iTunes library that had an ampersand in it.  Deleted that line.  Then it said line 22156 had an issue so I deleted that, at which point iPhoto Library Manager instantly displayed all my albums.  I checked iTunes and it too now showed my albums and the option to sync only selected albums was no longer grayed out!
    Per the Library Manager's instructions, I saved the AlbumData.xml file I'd modified.  The app said the iPhoto only writes this file out, it doesn't read it.  However, other apps read it to get your album info, hence the issue.  So I had to go into iPhoto and fix the problem, else the next time I exited the app, it would write the file back out improperly.  I noticed in the xml file that where the song was listed it was also referencing one of my albums.  So when I launched iPhoto, I went to that album and checked the slide show settings.  Sure enough, I had set a custom playlist for that album and listed the song I had seen on line 22155 in the AlbumData.xml file.  I removed that song from the settings, and exited iPhoto.  No more issues!  I appear to be all set!
    Now, I'm not clear if I NEEDED to edit the AlbumData.xml file.  Just looking at it showed the error and then I had to fix it in iPhoto.  So you can probably do that.  However, the iPhoto Library Manager software is the only thing I know of that could show WHERE the error was.  Since the free demo works for this purpose, I'd suggest giving it a shot.  This issue is obviously caused by our individual libraries and is not an Apple issue.  Now, the album that had the problem has existed for almost 3 years and I've never had an issue like this arise before so it's anyone's guess as to why it became a problem now.  Fortunately, it's all in the past for me now, though!
    Hope this helps someone.  Good luck!
