IPhoto auto upload to iCloud but where are they?

Not sure if this should be in iCloud or iPhoto.
I use iPhoto as the manager. I download pictures from my camera or SD card and then I see activity (via little snitch) showing data going to iCloud photo. But there the trail ends, I see no images on searching on my iMac, iCloud etc, the device I use for managing pictures, nor do I see them on my iPad. The only way to see them is to actively share them from iPhoto but then they seem to be uploaded a second time.
I am led to believe that a certain amount of images are automatically uploaded for sharing and I do not need to actively share it. I realise it is Beta, just trying to get the hang of it. So, what am I missing?
I have automatic upload enabled.

I have tried the settings as you suggest and they do indeed appear in the iPad (new test shots uploaded after reading this). It was that "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)" setting that did the trick.
But I am still wondering where the images go when I download from the camera to the computer (iMac) from a recent trip. I returned from a trip a few days ago and 1.7gb of images uploaded to iCloud Photo's, this was prior my setting adjustment on advice from yourself. I now understand why I could not see them on my iPad but 1.7GB of data went somewhere.
OK. Thank you for the links, I had read the first one but still missed the trick with turning off that setting. Best await 2015 then for a full fledged service?

  • Would like to share a widget with my friend, but where are they?

    Hello,
    My friend came over the other day and liked one of my widgets, but I can't recall the exact name of it so I can't tell him what to look up. So I thought why couldn't I just send him the file, but I don't know where Snow Leopard stores its widgets.
    Where can I find the widgets that are currently in use?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Or you could try this:
    Hover over the widget with your mouse pointer. A small i will appear in one of the corners of the widget, click on the i, the widget will flip over. On the backside of the widget the name of the widget, who made the widget/company and an URL (sometimes a URL link) should be there.

  • Suddenly hundreds of "sent" messages disappeared. Folder is empty, but 'properties' says there are 679 messages. So not deleted I guess. But where are they?

    The only thing I changed before this happened was the 'retention' policy in my account settings with respect to retaining/deleting messages on the server. I had that set at 'never delete' while I was away for a week, but changed it to delete after 7 days on my return today. All sent messages then disappeared on the server, and I discovered later to my surprise in my computer as well. Next to the "Sent" folder in the computer there's now a small square that's filled in darkly. I don't know if the square was there before, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't dark if it was there at all. I really need those 'sent' messages - at least the most recent ones. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Also - I could do a 'system restore', but have the feeling that won't affect my Thunderbird account at all. Is that right?

    I suspect your account is an IMAP account. With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. If you delete a message in Thunderbird it is removed on the server as well, and vice versa.
    So I think what happened is what's described in the article in the
    'It's just doing what you told it to do' section.
    More details in this article.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Message_aging
    If you want to avoid messages being deleted set the retention policy to 'never delete'.
    I don't think I understand what 'a small square that's filled in darkly' is.
    A system restore won't do you any good as the Thunderbird profile isn't covered.
    Miscellaneous.msf won't help. Msf files are index files, and do not contain any messages.
    Your best bet is to restore a backup of your profile.

  • All notes just disappeared from "Notes" app on iPhone, iPad, Macbook Air and iCloud. Where are they?

    For months they are there. Yesterday-- all gone! What the heck happened? Was it something I did? What can I do to get them back?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • HT4413 Files migrated, but where are they?

    Have migrated files & music from PC to new Mac, 'was done successfully' was the message, but I can't find any of it. Should I look in a particular place?

    Try a Spotlight search, type in the name of a file, if toy hover your cursor over the result, it should give you the path, ypu can also click on the result and it should take you there.

  • Rgb sliders where are they?

    Hello forum I am trying to calibrate my emac with a Spyder monitor calibrator the set up takes me to a point where it says " move RGB sliders" I know what they are BUT where are they?. I have looked in vain in System preferences but can not find them, any answers? Or are they not in iBook? Regards, Tony

    Just as a matter of trivia if it is the Optical you
    are using the Spyder Website says that it is not for
    use for LCD screens.
    I'm not sure, but Tony said it was an eMac and then asked if the sliders weren't available on an iBook... The eMac has a CRT screen. The iBook, however, does have an LCD screen.
    If you click on the Displays System Preferences, you can click on the "Color" tab. This will give you a "Calibrate..." button. You may want to enable the "Expert Mode" on the next screen. You can step through calibrating either your eMac or your iBook with these built-in tools. Unfortunately, even this does not give you access to RGB sliders.

    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • TS3276 iCloud wrote that my storage was full and that I couldn't save anymore mail. I checked and it is not true at all, but it had already DELETED all my sent messages without further notice. Where are they? Can I retrieve them?

    iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

  • I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures?   I have been backing up for a long time -  Where are they?

    I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud
    – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures?
    I have been backing up for a long
    time -  Where are they?   

    You can't view them on iCloud.com.  And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
    If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled.  This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • ICloud is now working but where are my emails?

    Finally working for me but where are the 100 emails I know I got in the two days the service was out?  I get at least 50 a day and nothing in my in box except my test message I sent from Google.

    I called and spoke to someone in tech support and they were confident that the emails were being stored and would eventually come through, but I have so far gotten most, but not all of my emails from yesterday. New ones do seem to be coming through no problem.

  • I upgraded to the new operating system, OS Yosemite. When I open iPhoto, I can't find my pictures that were downloaded over the last two years. Where are they?

    I upgraded operating systems and now I can't find my photos in iPhoto. There are only random photos, but I can't find all the other albums I had. Where are they?

    Silly question first... when "deleting duplicates", did you delete the picturs or music folders? :}
    Are the "Previous system" folders still there? Are the photos/music inside the recent Previous folder?
    Have you tried doing a search for the files?
    Do you have a new account set up, that you are now signed in to, rather than your old account?

  • HT4910 I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program?  At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail.  There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined.  Are you notes there?  If not, that's the problem.  Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device.  if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.
