IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only. It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

How do I remove all photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

How do I remove all 4000 photos from iPhone 5 camera roll to Mac?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this if you use iPhoto for photo management on your Mac. If not, you can use the Image Capture application for the import. Both include an option to delete all photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

Photos from iphone/ipad not automatically showing up in iPhoto on Mac

Running iOS 8.1 on iPhone 6 and iPad. Running Yosemite on Mac. Photos taken on the iPhone transfer automatically to the iPad but not to iPhoto on the Mac. Photostream is turned on. iCloud Photo Library Beta is not turned on. This worked before Yosemite upgrade. Help?

Same problem.
After USB is connected, iPhoto shows iPhone name with "(0)" photos.
Same whether iPhoto is open or closed before USB is connected.
Same whether iPhone is on or off when USB is connected.
Rebooting iPhone did not help.
Relaunching iPhoto did not help.
Rebooting Mac did not help.

Backed up photos from iPhone 4S not showing on iCloud or iPhone 5S

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I recently got an iPhone 5S and most of my photos aren't appearing. I can't see them on iCloud.com, either.
My old iPhone 4S has always been set to back up to iCloud (photos included) and did so for the final time the night before I started using my 5S.
When I set up my 5S, it immediately showed all the data from my 4S (notes, reminders, etc.) EXCEPT most of my photos. It shows photos from 16 April 2014 onwards, but nothing before that. My iPhone 4S has photos right back to August 2013 which should be on iCloud.
In 'Settings > iCloud, 'Photos' is set to 'on'. The storage and backup information says 6.4GB of my backup is camera roll. So why has my complete camera roll failed to appear on my 5S?
Also, when I login to iCloud on the web, photos are not shown at all - so I have no reassurance they're backed up (despite paying for extra storage). Why is this? I have a total of 15GB iCloud storage and only 8.3GB is currently used.
Very confused - please help!

HT204486 Photos from iPhone are not loading on my Mac

photos taken on my iPhone are appearing on my iPad, but not my Mac.

Hi hairyfairy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're running into an issue where photos from your iPhone aren't appearing in My Photo Stream. Is your iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and is the Camera app closed? The article below provides a lot of information and troubleshooting suggestions for similar issues, including providing details about when photos are uploaded from an iOS device to My Photo Stream.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
I hope this helps.

TS3989 My photos from iphone did not upload to photostream

I have installed icloud on my pc with windows vista. I want the icloud to transfer photos from my iphone 4s to pc. The icloud installation seems to have worked but the file photostream in my pictures on my pc has not uploaded any photos. The photostream on my iphone is on? I do not know how to upload the photos, they do not seem to load automatically, even though the setting on my iphone says it will push them automatically. any help would be appreciated.

Photostream only uploads the photos taken (or imported to the device) AFTER you enable Photostream. Photos from prior to Photostream being turned on will not upload. You could just take screenshots of the older photos to create 'new' images, or transfer your photos to your computer manually.

Can't text photos from iPhone 4 (not 4 S)

Anybody have any suggestions on how to TEXT not email a picture from my iPhone 4?

newiphonegirl4, I was once a newiphonegirl too so I understand all the fascinating features you have to learn. I have the iphone and would be more than happy to show you how to text/mms a picture. If you want a picture from the internet, email, facebook etc, to send via text/mms you will need to save the photo to your photo album first as an image. To save an image, you will need to press the image once and hold it with your finger until a menu displays for "Save Image" & "Copy". You will need to choose "Save Image" and this will save the photo to your phone album. Listed below are steps to send that photo via text/mms from the photo album.
Note: Some photos that are protected (read only) may not have the ability to be saved to the photo album and only allow you the chance to copy them and email them.
1) Menu
2) Photos
3) Choose Album
4) Choose a photo
5) Click the arrow in the left hand corner for the menu to pop up
6) Choose MMS from menu
7) The "TO" field will display choose + sign for contact list and choose person
8) You can choose to type a message in the picture field or leave it blank
9) Hit Send

I am unable to download photos from iPhone 4, SD card and SLR camera to iPad 2 using apple accessories. It worked once and then never again. Any ideas ?

I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.

Plumchunks-
The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The kit consists of two adapters. One has an SD card socket. The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer. If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Photos from iPhone do not show up on my iPad

I am having problems of late viewing my photos which I took with the iPhone which for some reason will not migrate to the iPad. I have but one iCloud account, everything is turned on so the photos should move freely between the devices but they don't. Is there another way of downloading iPhone photos onto either my MacBook or the iPad? I have tried iTunes and just about everything else but no success. Your help would be much appreciated.

Edited photos from iphone 4s not saving when transferred to computer!!!

How come after I enhance my photos on my iphone4s and I transfer them to my computer, the changes don't save? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of editing them from your phone? Can this be fixed?

I am having the exact same problem. I am transferring photos via icloud to my windows 7 PC, some pictures I can rotate and others I can't. I get an error about file properties, even though the file properties are the same as the photos I can rotate. This is definitely some kind of bug.

Lightroom 5.7.1 stops responding when trying to import photos from iPhone.

As the title says, when trying to import the photos from my phone which I've done with Lightroom for a couple years now, the program stops responding entirely. This happens with both mine and my wife's phones. We did leave hers plugged in over night and it eventually started responding again and I was able to import her photos. But I can account for at least 5 hours during which it was not responding first. I'm not sure what changed over night that finally let it work again.
Any ideas? Thanks!

You're sure you want to stop using iphoto? Then I would try it this way instead:
Export each event in your iphoto library separately, put the photos where you want to keep them and use "from files and folders". If there's an event that the organizer chokes on, then you'll have to go into that one photo by photo to see where the problem lies. (You are aware that using "from iphoto" is duplicating your entire iphoto library, so you don't want to do that AND keep using iphoto, right?)
