IPhoto Photo Streaming says "Sep 2012 Photo Stream" only
I can't find the full Photo Stream. Also, photos are updating between my iPhone and iPad, but not to iPhoto on my iMac.
What are you expecting? It is Sept 29. Your "full" PhotoStream contains the lessor of latest 30 days photos or the latest 1000 photos

IPhoto/Photo Stream clarification
Forgive me if this has already been asked.
What I need clarification on is
Here is my scenario.
I have Photo Stream enabled on all my devices(iphone, ipad & iMac)
When i take a picture it goes in to photo stream album on all devices(which essentially means the photos are in the cloud)
In iPhoto, there is a album called xxxx 2012 photo stream where xxxx is the month.
So is it safe to say that the photos are stored in my iPhoto library in the monthly photo stream album only?
Or do I have to turn on the automatic download setting in iPhoto to have the photos saved in iPhoto library?
This where I am getting confused. Given the above scenario where the photos are only in the photo stream is it possible they could be lost if for some reason all the photos in the photo stream get deleted?
I guess my main question is are the photos in photo stream just sitting in the cloud until I manually move them into my iPhoto library. I just took a picture with iPhone and the picture is in Photo Stream and camera roll. So if in camera roll does that mean the photo will be saved to permanent location in iPhoto.
As you can see I am quite confused with workflow when using Photo Stream. Apple has made the process very convaluded.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...Bruceyou need to read up on PhotoStream

PS is temporary - the lessor of the last 1000 photos or the last 30 days - once either of these is passed the photos go away unless you import them to iPhoto - it is NOT a web archive

There are two ways to import to iPhoto - manually and automatically - manually you drag photos from PS to iPhoto - automatically you check the import autpmatically box in the iPhoto preferences and the photos are automatically imported into an event named MMM YYYY Photo Stream - no albums are automatically created or used

It actually is very simple if you read the instructions

IPhoto photo stream time zone/ duplicates issue
I've got a bunch of duplicate photos in my iPhoto library on my Macbook from both manually importing photos from iPhone when connected and from syncing via Photo Stream.
I've since disactivated Photo Stream, but still had duplicate photos on my computer.
I've merged all the albums called "October Photo Stream" with the other imports into one big list sorted by date.
The problem is, I was travelling quite a bit across different time zones, so they're not all really in order. It seems the Photo Stream copy of the photo (the one with the keyword attached) has the time and date as my "home" timezone, not as the "local" timezone as per the time where the photo was taken.
Is this by design?
I'd now like to remove all the duplicates and was thinking I'd just search for Photo Stream keyword, then select all those pics and delete.... the problem is I'm not sure which ones actually have duplicates as they don't all have duplicates! I really can't figure out how/why some exist as duplicates and others don't... perhaps something to do with when I was/wasn't near a wifi network (applicable while I was travelling but less so for pictures at home as my wifi is always on at home).
This photo stream "feature" is confusing as ****, and don't even get me started on the other iCloud services like docs... could they have designed it any more counter intuitive if they tried?
Any advice/ assistance appreciated.
Further, if I reactivate photo stream in future, how do I stop this behaviour from happening again?I've noticed this same problem. I just got back from a trip overseas and the time on all my iPhone photos imported from the photo stream is wrong by two hours (the time difference). It seems a bit stupid to have the photos time stamped with your home time zone, and it means that when I imported the photos from my camera they're all out of order and I need to adjust the time on all the iPhoto photos. That's not particulary hard, it just seems unncessary. I hope someone form Apple notices this and fixes the problem.

How do I delete photos in iphoto photo stream
I cannot access my iPhoto photo stream to delete photos
What is your iPhoto version?
Have you perhaps the "Shared" section in the Library sidebar hidden? Hover with the mouse to the right of the title "shared" to reveal the hidden Show/Hide control and click "Show" to reveal the iCloud in the source list. -
each time I create a new album in IPhoto, photos from another album or from photo stream are automatically dumped into the new album.. how do I create a blank album and then import photos from a flash drive into the new album?
just import the iPhoto
Surely you meant "just import the photo"? The Spell checker is dangerously creative ! -
Why iPhoto photo stream re-download photos when restarted
My iPhoto phto stream re-downloads the pictures everytime my computer restarts. Photo stream doesn't turn off, just re-download, it is fraustrating when you have many pictures and re-downloads them all the time. Is there a fix for this?
Do you have HDR turned on on your iPhone camera? And if you do, is it keeping the original JPG? If it is, it will save two versions of each photo.
Do you have HDR turned on:
Go to Camera App
Tap Options on screen
See if HDR is turned on.
Turn HDR off.
Are you saving the JPG:
Settings > Photos
Turn off Keep Normal Photo -
I am new to iMac. I plugged in my iPhone to upload all my trip pictures into an event in iPhoto. Only some of them came and the others seem to be in photo stream album. I wanted to move them from photo stream and put them into an event. I dont think I am understanding photo stream very well.
Hello RossSE,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are trying to organize your photos in iPhoto, but Photo Stream has imported some of your photos and you manually imported some photos.
When you enable Photo Stream in iPhoto, photos on the iCloud server are imported to your library in an event for that month by default. My Photo Stream stores up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days, so you may need to connect your iPhone to import videos or photos that did not make it to My Photo Stream because of the 1000 photo limit or the 30 day limit.
You can learn more about Photo Stream here:
My Photo Stream overview
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#phtac7ec5f4
If you would like to turn off the automatic import of photos and only manually import photos by connecting your iPhone to the computer, you can disable the automatic import in iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud:
Turn on My Photo Stream in iPhoto
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#pht7aaadf50
Alternatively, you can rearrange the photos in Events using the steps in this article:
Move photos between events
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#pht6d6094b4
Additionally, you may want organize your photos using Albums. Personally, I prefer organizing my iPhoto library with Albums:
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
Find more information about organizing your library using standard Albums or Smart Albums at the following link:

Clarification of iPhoto/Photo Stream
Hi,
I am having difficulty understanding how iPhoto handles photos taken on an iOS device(iPhone or iPad). Currently I have my iPhoto set to do an automatic import when taking picture. I take picture on iPhone, it shows up on iPad photo stream. It shows up in iPhoto photo stream file. Now I delete the photo in the photo stream on iPhone. It deletes on iPad photo stream and in iPhoto photo stream. However the photo is in iPhoto in pHotos and events. So what is the best way to manage this. Should I turn off the 'Automatic import' in iPhoto or have it save the photo in iPhoto photos/events? If so I suspect the photo will not be saved to photos and events. So the photo will only be in the photo stream. Whcih leads to my question 'when will the photo be saved in the photos or events in iPhoto. If it sits in the Photo Stream is there any risk of losing the picture?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...BruceApples instruction are here - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
PS is not a storage place - it is a transmission place - it holds the lessor last 30 days or 1000 photos - if you want to keep photos you eed to import them into iPhoto - this can be automatic or manual as you choose - if it is manual then only the photos you manually import are saved in iPhoto - if it is automatic then eveny photo in PS is saved
It is pretty simple
So what is the best way to manage this. Should I turn off the 'Automatic import' in iPhoto or have it save the photo in iPhoto photos/events?
That totally depends on what you want

Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.
I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?
How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.
If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices. To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll). To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import. You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you only want to delete them go ahead. Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices. -
my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?
You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.
Cheers,

What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.
You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

Open Mac Mail. From the Mac Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.

When trying to open iPhoto the computer says:
‘The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.’
So I click ‘upgrade’
Then it says: ‘You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.’
Etcetera...
What to do??
TheoIs your Apple Intel-based, poppelmacbook? If not, you should consider treating yourself to a new Mac. Last December I gave up my old because it just could not update...anything because it was not Intel-based. Updating everything on this OS to 10.9 has been confusing for me, but I just could not work with that old Mac because the updates were too smart? for my 10.6. It is upstairs now...for visiting family: games, garage band, etc.--things I never did use. Apple refurbished and purchase the extended warranty. Apple loyalist since late 1980's.

Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?
1. No, you haven't.
2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.
