IPhoto shared album alert annoyance

A friend has shared an iPhoto album with me. Great. Thank you. I have viewed the photos but how do I get rid of that annoying "1" number in my iPhoto icon in my Dock and inside the iCloud application? Thanks.

Your friend may have posted a comment on one of the photos or added a new photo.

IPhoto sharing - album sorting order?

I share my entire iPhoto library using sharing in the iPhoto prefs.
When I'm on my other mac, I can see all the shared albums, but they are sorted in a random order ?!?
Not the same way I sorted them, not alphabetical and not by date?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How can u identify which pics in iphoto are not jpeg?
Create a smart album with the following criteria: File Name does not contain jpg.
That will show you all non jpg files in your library.

Iphoto shared album in iCloud not showing all images to my IOS devices bar Mac

I created an album today with 118 pictures in it. I shared with a number of people using iCloud. When I visited the album to show someone through my iPhone it only contains 20 images. The same happens on my iPad. In iPhoto when I select the album I see 118 images.
Incidentally, when I create a new album in iPhoto it copies some images from the first album I created into it and I then have to delete.

Have you tried this:

IPhoto Picture Album Alert

Hi,
I am making a picture album with iPhoto 09 and when I pressed "Buy Book" it says "Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book"
I think the problem is that on some of the pictures there is a little ! alert symbol in the top right of the picture. I've tried zooming the picture in and out but it won't go away.
Thanks
Victor

That won't be the reason for the message. Do you have any pages with a gray background? If so those are probably backgrounds that require a photo. See the screenshot below:
Click to view full size
The triangle alert next to images indicate that the photo is below the 180 dpi minimum resolution (for that frame) that Apple has set for printing photos. They may print OK depending on how far from the minimum they are. What are the pixel dimensions of some of the pictures that show that warning and what page layout and frame are they in?

IPhoto shared album in Mavericks - no photos

Upgraded to Mavericks and latest iPhoto 9.5 (902.7). When I open iPhoto, no photos are there. They were stored in a sparse disk image file at Users/Shared/iPhoto_disk_image.sparseimage that used to mount automatically.

Is there a library on that Disk Image? If so:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

IPhoto doesn't show photos from shared albums

I enter iPhoto and I can see the folders shared with me .....however no photos are inside these folders.
One shared album was created by me via my iphone and shared with 20 people. I can see the photos on the phone and my ipad without issues but not on my MBP. MBP is running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.
Someone shared an album with me yesterday. Same thing. I can see the pics on both iphone and ipad but not on MBP. I can see the title of the album but it simply says "No Photos".
This is very weird. Please post if you know the answer to this issue.

I would turn off the iPhoto iCloud options and go to the system preferences and log out of iCloud - then log back in and turn the iPhoto options back on to refresh everything

Iphoto sharing iphoto album text

When I save my iphoto album to Photostream, external hard drive or a USB, the faces, descriptions, and comments are not included. How can I share the complete album with another Mac or PC? Also, how do i get the text info included when I create a book?

Next move is to try and repair the existing Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:

How can I add photo albums on my Mac to my iCloud shared album?

I recently upgraded from iPhoto to the new Photos app on my Mac. I then decided to try iCloud Photo Sharing. I have 10,000 photos on my Mac and I keep them organized by albums. I cannot figure out how to add entire selected existing photo albums in my Photos app which reside on my Mac to icloud Photo Sharing rather than adding photos one at a time. It would take me forever to go through my 10,000 photos to choose which ones I want to share. I just want to share certain albums. Please help! MacBook Pro Late 2011 Mac OS 10.10.3

Open the album and select all of the photos. click on the Share button and select the Shared Photo Album you want to add them to (or create a new shared album).

Facebook "Make Shared Album" breaks Aperture connection

As far as I can gather, Facebook albums of type "Shared Album" will disappear from your Aperture Facebook listing.
You can no longer share photos directly from Aperture for Facebook albums of this type.
I've not found much discussion on the web about this, but I have confirm this behavior by creating a test album in FB, then sharing it--it disappears.
If anyone knows of a fix to this, I'd appreciate it.
Regards...

Same problem here and it's the same with iPhoto. It's just plain ridiculous and I don't know why Apple hasn't fixed it. As a result, I'm not using the Aperture Facebook uploader anymore. I'm using a 3rd party solution: Facebook Exporter for Aperture by Sean Farley. It has it's unique problems as well, but at least Sean is working on it. http://seanfarley.org/aperture
Does anyone have any better solutions?

IPhoto deleting albums from Facebook, etc., etc.

So. I was trying to upload an album to Facebook. Now iPhoto is in permanent freakout mode. It sends me numeros, repeated messages that an album I created on Facebook has been deleted. And some of the names of these albums are ones which I did send to Facebook but the others are albums i created exclusively for iPhoto. I can no longer get iPhoto to shut down without force-quitting.
My Mac knowledge is limited and I need help. I have a feeling this is the long dreaded system crash about to happen. Certainly iPhoto seems to be crashing. It runs slower and slower.
iMac IOS 10.7.5, iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2

"permanent freakout mode" is not a condition I've come across.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

Shared albums not shown in Photos for Mac

I upgraded my iPhoto library to Photos yesterday and the main photo content migrated fine. I have two OS X devices - a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.
On my MacBook Pro, if I enable the sidebar in Photos, I see:
Photos
Shared
Activity
<Other shared albums - both my own and from another iCloud user>
Albums<Various Albums>
On my Mac Mini, I only see:
Photos
Albums<Various Albums>
So Photos on the Mac Mini is not picking up on existing shared albums. If I go to View | Shared it prompts me to "Start Sharing" (as if I haven't done this before). If I click Start Sharing and then create a test album the sharing dialog just vanishes after I select and email address to share with.
Anybody else seeing this? Any ideas?

Ok. I followed another suggestion and tried restarting the computer. It seemed to bring up the libraries. At first, I saw no pictures from the shared photos as they reported zero photos when they came up. However, leaving it open for a while seemed to bring back more and more of the libraries, and that was only after restarting the computer a 2nd time. I did get almost all my shared photos back, but each time it seems to stop and not bring all the photos back. I'll try restarting another time as it seems to be the big thing here.
The syncing activity in Yosemite seems to have some internal limit, where it stops attempting to grab photos from the stream and/or share, and then Photos only tries looking again after a computer restart, not a restart of the application.

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is damaged and needs repair.
Therefore make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you experience the same problem with the test library then try this basic fix a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that fails a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally.

Photostream shares photos from shared albums to my computer, but "My Photostream" on my computer is empty. How can I get my photos to upload to my computer?

I have an iPhone 6 now, but I had an iPhone 5s previously. My Photostream stopped uploading pictures to my computer in November, 2013. If I create a shared album on my phone, it uploads to my PC, but "My Photostream" does not update. I've reset settings on the phone, turned sharing on and off, restarted my phone, updated operating systems, paid for more storage on iCloud.

Greetings monienon,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have your My Photo Stream activated on your iPhone but nothing is showing in My Photo Stream in iPhoto. In this situation, I would recommend working through the suggested troubleshooting steps for this situation located in the attached article.
Get help using My Photo Stream - Apple Support
I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
Cheers,
Joe

Can't see shared albums in Lion

I have iLife 11 and Lion. I can no longer see my shared iPhoto libraries. I have gone into preferences both for iPhoto and System and am sharing everything. But the albums for each machine do not appear in iPhoto in either machine. It used to work under Snow Leopard. Any suggestions. Thanks, Andrew

Hi TD
I have a MBP and a MacMini. The MBP holds my images. I want to access the images on the MacMini, as I have always done in the past under Snow Leopard. Both machines are now running Lion. In any case, on the MBP iPhoto is set up to share all images (under iPhoto Preferences/Sharing) Share my photos>>Share entire library and Require password is on and a password set. Status is: on. On the MBP under System Preferences File sharing is chosen. The only sharing that is not enabled is screen sharing, web sharing and internet sharing.
On the MacMini (under iPhoto Preferences/Sharing) i is set to look for shared photos as well as shar my photos (there are a few on the MacMini). Under System Preferences everything is sharable.
I have restarted the apps and the machines various times but I cannot ge the shared albums to appear in the side bar as they always used to in Snow Leopard.
