IPhoto doesn't recognize all Photo Stream albums.
When I take a photo with my iPhone, the photo goes to my photo stream. I then send it to my TV Photo Stream album. The TV Photo Stream album is displayed on my Apple TV. My issue comes when I sync my iPhone with iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't display all my photo stream albums, i.e."TV Photo Stream" How do I get iPhoto to display all of my photo Stream albums? I only use one account, so I know that I am signed in under the right ID. I am not sure were to post this inquire, should it go to Photo Stream or iPhoto? I am not sure what App has the issue, or is it just me? Thank you,
iPhoto: 9.5.1 (902.17)
MacOS X version 10.9.4
Upon opening iPhoto, it asks me what photo library I want to use. At the left hand bottom there is a box saying (translated by me from Norwegian):
"iPhoto cannot start without a photo library. Select a library from the list, find another library on the machine, or create a new library to import files into. The library you chose now, will be used automatically next time you open iPhoto."
Then there is a box with no libraries listed, and underneath I've got the options of creating a new library or simply clicking "other library".
First time this happened I created a new library and thus there are 2 libraries: iPhoto-library and iPhoto-library_2 to chose from when clicking "Other library" There is also a non-selectable (grey) "Photo Booth-library" in the same list, which is in the path user/Photos/iPhoto-library or .../iPhoto-library2. But when clicking either of these the "open" button just keeps flashing indefinitely. Upon trying to open iPhoto-library or iPhoto-library_2 from Finder, it just opens iPhoto and prompting me to chose library like before...
The only thing that I changed (I think) is that I installed PSE 12.

IPhoto doesn't display all photos that are in Masters
Hey guys, so basically my problem is that my last two imports using my Nikon point-and-shoot have not appeared in iPhoto 11.2.3. The imports were apparently successful but the photos went only into Masters (within the iPhoto Library file) and I cannot see the two latest Events in iPhoto.
I've just reinstalled OS X Lion 10.7.3 and iLife 11 and have fully updated both using Software Update. I've added the Library (10,000 photos) back into Pictures and fired up iPhoto to no avail. I have previously tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library - even checking all the options and waiting an hour or so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kieran.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. -
IPhoto doesn't show all photos in photostream
Apple supposedly saves the last 1000 photos I take for 30 days. What if I only take 100 photos. Will all 100 photos stay in my Photostream indefinitely? OR, will they be deleted after 30 days?
On my iPhone I can see all photos I've taken in the last year in my Photostream, but in iPhoto only the last month or two show up and I can't find the rest. I'm confused.Photos in the Photo Stream section of iPhoto are not imported into the library. Instead they reside in this folder on the hard drive:
After 30 days they will be removed from the Photo Stream and the hard drive. You need to select the photos in the Photo Stream window and drag then onto the Photos or Events icon in iPhoto to import them into the library so they are permanent.

Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3
Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto and photo stream albums
Please help me. I am trying to move pictures from my photo stream album into an existing event.
OT, i tried to highlight and drag as suggested here but it doesnt work.
o manually import photo stream photos to your iPhoto library:
In iPhoto, drag one or more photos from Photo Stream view to Photos in the Source list.
I think the only way I can do it is to export them to a file on my hard drive, create an event and click and drag into that event folder. Then merge it to the event I want them in. Seems to be a lot of steps? What am I missing? -

Within Facebook, I have '6' photo albums. On my iPad Air or my iPhone 4S, when I go into Photos, select a photo to send to Facebook, I only see '2' Facebook photo albums listed! Thoughts on how I can get my 'I' devices to recognize all '6' FB albums?
OMG, I totally did not see the edit button at the top right corner of the Albums window/page.
Selecting that, then selecting the album BIKE brought up the RED button to the left of the album and ta-da, delete.
Sometimes I seek so hard I do not see.

I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??
That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices. -
My iPhoto is redirecting me to the Trash album instead of opening a friend's shared iCloud (Photo Stream) album. Not sure what to do.

Why can't I share a photo stream album with all of my contacts?
I have been able to share one photo stream album with my sister who has an iPhone. When I try to share another album with both a friend who has an iPhone and another sister who does not have an iPhone, their names are greyed out in my contact list. Looking over my contact list for sharing photo stream albums, half of my contacts are normal, and the other half are greyed out. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this nd share with everyone in my contact list?
For users who have iOS devices, they get a direct connection to the shared stream. For others, they need to get an email with a link that they use in a browser. Not too clear on the details myself, but the following link should provide the answers you need.

Difference between Photos label at top of screen and all photos under albums?
Just wondering what the difference is being the box at the top left hand side of screen that is labelled 'Photos' and the one just below 'Albums' that is called 'All photos'.
I can see that the 'Photos' area seems to be all photos on your mac, like the events stream was on iPhoto before and the camera roll on IOS iPhoto.
I had expected 'All photos' under albums to be just those you had placed in albums, but I added and deleted a few photos to test this and could not see any difference between the effect on the two areas.
I suspect all the previous 'events' have been folded together in one folder so that it is easy to see what was there on conversion, but before I start dismantling this folder to suit the new layout I just want to make sure I understand how the deleting of photos from albums/the whole program works. I have been prompted a couple of times if I am deleting from album or deleting altogether but deletions seem to affect both these streams?Photos is sorted based on the date of the photo.
All Photos is based on date added. Don't know how it imported at first, but every photo you add from now on will be shown in the order added to the All Photos album no matter what date is in it metadata. And it will be placed in date order in Photos moments.
If you import 100 photos and delete 20, you will have 80 photos left from the import. The 50 you put in an album doesn't affect the total amount you added to the library. It just means that you chose not to put 30 in an an album you created. You can put the same photo in as many albums you want to create. The actual photo still resides in the library.
Don't confuse the system created albums with the user created albums. You can choose to remove a photo from a user created album without deleting it from the library. Or, you can choose delete from a user album which will delete from all albums and the library. But you can only delete from the system album. -
The iCloud FAQ seems to say iCloud does NOT automatically physically download and store all its photos back on all your devices, yet I'm sure the reason I can't take very many photos is because iCloud is doing just that....sending photos I already deleted from the phone's (non-photo-stream) standard photo library back to the phone and thereby filling up my phone's hard drive. I thought PhotoStream and iCloud held your photos in the "cloud" so you could view them THERE; but it looks like when the "cloud" is "full", the phone is full too (the FAQ says photos don't affect the 5GB free storage on the cloud, yet it sure seems the "cloud" affects the storage on my phone).
Is there a way to tell iCloud to NOT use my phone as it's hard drive?
I like the concept of having every photo automatically uploaded to the "cloud"...but shouldn't I be able to take more pictures when the "cloud" is "full" with 1000 photos?
If I delete the photos from my photo stream album, it says all the photos will be deleted from everywhere, including the "cloud". And, the only way to save them is to manually save them to the phone (they're already there....as described above) or manually save them to iPhoto (my Mac is an older MacMini that can't use any OS above 10.6.8, so iCloud isn't available to my desktop Mac).
Here are the options as I see them:
1. Turn off PhotoStream and give up on using the "cloud" or "iCloud" entirely. Make sure to back up those photos I want to keep regularly in iPhoto when I back up my phone. (I had this naive idea iCloud was intended to simplify this....)
2. Manually go through the 1000 photos that are apparently now back on my phone in the "Photostream album" and decide, viewing them ON the tiny phone screen, which ones should be manually deleted and which to keep, hoping that frees up enough space on the phone to be able to use the camera.
3. Just delete the entire photostream album, and therefore all the photos on my iPad and in iCloud, and accept that I didn't really want them anyway?
Is there any other option? Do I have to choose between PhotoStream and storage space on my phone, if I want to use the phone's camera after "1000 photos" reside in iCloud? The way it seems to be going, I will ALWAYS be fighting for storage on my phone as long as iCloud is "on"...no sooner than I delete photos from Photostream, every new photo will just be downloaded BACK to the phone anyway.
I'm almost at my wit's end.....is iCloud/PhotoStream ALL OR NOTHING?Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

How do I remove the extra photo stream albums?
Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
When I take a photo using the Camera App, the Photos App creates a new, separate, Photo Stream Album with only 1 photo.
Now I have 50+ Photo Stream albums.
Here is what I've tried, but still cannot remove these albums (in no particular order):
- Turned on/off Photo Stream.
- Deleted iCloud account from iPhone
- Reset Photo Stream from iCloud.com
- Forced quit Photos App (and all other apps)
- Restarted the iPhone
- Deleted all photos via Image Capture
- Attempted to "edit" albums, but no option to delete
But still, these photos and albums still remain. I am able to tap on an album, see the picture, and have the option to save it to my camera roll (but it doesn't actually save it to the camera roll).
One final obervation, every time I turn on/off Photo Stream, it creates an additional empty Photo Stream album. So now the list of albums keeps growing.
Very odd behavior. Any suggests from the community before I do a complete restore?
Thanks for your suggestions.I have a similar problem. I told iTunes not to sync any photos and delete whatever was there. Then I turned off Photostream. Even when I did that I have an extra Photostream with no photos in it. There's no way to delete it.

Photos not appearing in photo stream album?
I have an iPhone 4. All aspects of iCloud work except for photo stream. When I take a photo with my iPhone it appears in the camera roll but doesn't get copied into the 'photo stream album'. Therefore it never gets synced across the cloud to my Macbook Air.
However, my Macbook Air, using Aperture can successfully sync photos to my iPhone but can't recieve them.
Therefore, it appears to be a problem with the iPhone end of the service and not iCloud in general.
Have you come across this problem, would a backup and restore of the iPhone be recommended?
Many thanks.
AlexHi, I had the same issue although it's my new iPhone4S! That whenever I took new photos with the phone they just did not synch into the photo stream. Then I think I might found the solution. I started deleting some photos from my Camera Roll album (I had over 1,300 photos there), and when the number dropped down below that magic number (1,300), the new photos I took then got synched to the photo stream!!! Oh Ya! Hopefullly this can also be the solution for you guys!
