IPhoto sharing via Flickr

I just noticed the new iPhoto is uploading original sizes of my photos to my Flickr account eventhough I chose the "Web" size option. Not only is it doing that for the recent photos I uploaded, since its synced with my Flickr account, it went back to all the photos I have shared and added the original size!! The previous version of iPhoto allowed me to retroactively change the photo size option by just selecting the shared album and then going to share. That option is not there anymore!
I do not want the original size of my photos out there! Is there anyway I can change the share size to "Web" now?

I'm waiting till the new Photos application for Macs and iPhones is released with the release of Yosemite next month.  That will change the game quite a bit.
Photos will come next year - a bit after the Yosemite release; http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/  says:  "Photos in OS X is coming early next year."
I don't know if the fact that the Camera Roll is no longer in the Photos app on the iPhone is by plan or a glitch in the installation.
At first I thought both were still there, because my migrated iPhoto library is still showing "Camera Roll" and "Photo Stream". But that are the remnants of a nice app.
The new "Recently Added" album looks like the successor to both Camera Roll and Photo Stream. I think the Camera Roll Album is gone.The manual does not mention it once.  And the missing "My Photo Steam" must be a glitch. The manual says: 
"All photos added to your Recently Added album—including screenshots and photos saved from email, for example—appear in My Photo Stream." How can photos appear in the My Photo Stream, if it is not visible?

  • IPhoto Sharing via Streaming Issues

    3300 Iphotos in total
    Sharing/streaming done from MacMini.
    Lasted software releases.
    Sharing via streaming stops associating the photo with the stream. When you click on the photo with the info window it shows that photo to be associated with a sharing stream. When you click on the streaming link it goes to  that stream but the picture is not present.
    I have not hit the apple limits posted, however did not find one that says the limit on the number of streams, I have 24.
    I have deleted the sharing stream, rebuilt/repaired the data base with the option/command dbl click and still same problem. Waited an hour. Turned off sharing on associated device. These are not shared with the public and only with my own email so no one else involved. 
    This happened yesterday at about the same place in the photo process.  So I turned off and on sharing which deleted all my streams and started again this morning only for it to start again.

  • IPhoto sharing via messages not working

    I always use to be able to share my photos in iPhoto by clicking share at the bottom to then send via messages, however this option is no longer available. Does anyone know why?

    Yes there's Flickr, Facebook and iCloud however I always use to use Messages so I could share the photos directly to others' phones - it's this option/icon that has disappeared entirely. I don't know exactly when but it may have been post-Yosemite's installation.

  • Iphoto ( sharing via email )

    When I try to share a phot via email, iphoto still has old mail server details , even although i previously updated them in email preferences, how do i fix this ?

    When I try to do this through the SHARE option in iPhoto I get the following error message.   Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?  I am on the latest version of iPhoto 9.6.1.  Thanks for any insight / help.
    If recreating the account does not help, the reason may be two-step verification. Did you recently enable two-step verification for iCloud?
    Are you sending from your iCloud Mail address?
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Iphoto / Sharing via Email issues with 10.10.2

  • AppleTV 2nd gen, iPhoto sharing, wireless

    I see if I purchase an Apple TV 2nd generation, I can show iPhoto pictures on my LCD TV wirelessly that are on my Macbook Pro and use my iPad as a remote control to switch between pictures that will appear on the TV.
    But what if I have iPhoto pictures on my Intel Mac Pro with no wireless card, can I set it's iPhoto preferences to share the iPhoto library, then use my Macbook laptop to subscribe to the Mac Pro's iPhoto library, and then have the AppleTV and my iPad show the pictures on my LCD monitor and use the iPad to control what pictures are shown wirelessly?
    Thanks

    I think I found the answer to my question. I can stream photos from my iPad to the Apple TV and I dno't need to mess with iPhoto sharing via another Mac on the wireless network.

  • Photos App - Sharing to Flickr

    I'm trying to share some photos to Flickr using this new Photos app (I used to use iPhoto) and I have the following problems:
    If I select too many then the Flickr option doesn't appear.
    If I reduce the number I can then see the Flickr option but sharing to Flickr just shows a progress bar saying something like 'preparing image x of y'.
    If I reduce the number further (down to 20 or so) then once the progress bar disappears I'm given an option to choose which Flickr album I'd like to upload to. There's no option to create a new album so I have to log in to Flickr via a web browser first to create an album before I can select it through this Photos app.
    Is there anything I can do with this app or do I just have to wait until it has been fixed? I understand it's new but couldn't they have released it through a Beta channel first?
    I thought it was maybe a quirky image that was breaking it but I've managed to share an entire album by performing 10 or so small batches of uploads.

    My concern is what happens when I try and share a photo to Flickr from the new Photos App - is this going to reset all my photos that have been previously shared to Flickr
    It hasn't for me.

  • Sharing to flickr doesn't push the metadata of modified photos

    In iPhoto 09, we can share photo on flickr.
    There is a very annoying problem though. If a photo has been modified in iPhoto, the metadata is lost (well, it's not lost really, since it's kept in a database outside of the file) but the file corresponding to the working copy of the photo doesn't contain the metadata of the original file. Although this is very annoying for many reasons, I understand that one photo in iPhoto is not necessarily 1 file. Fine.
    The problem is that contrary to when a photo is exported, the metadata is not added to a photo that is shared on flickr (using the new 09 "share to flickr feature").
    It works correctly when sharing on facebook though.
    Here is a very basic scenario:
    Take a photo in "landscape" mode and another in "portrait" mode.
    Import them in iPhoto. Normally, the one in "portrait" mode will be rotated automatically by iPhoto so that it is displayed as it was meant to be display (great).
    Select those 2 photos and share them on flickr.
    The one in portrait mode will not have a "date/time taken" so the value will be the same as for "date/time uploaded". The one in "landscape" mode should be fine.
    I think this is because the file that is shared for the picture in landscape mode is still the original file while the one for the portrait photo is a working copy that doesn't contain the metadata.
    Is this a bug? Any chances to get a fix?

    I believe so.
    I have done some more tests and it looks like only the photos that have been rotated automatically because they were taken in portrait mode are affected.
    For example, the pictures that I have modified in iphoto are exported AND shared on flickr with all the metadata. So it is not a matter of having a working copy of the original photo or having the original photo file.
    It is really only for pictures that were taken in portrait mode.
    I have done this simple test:
    I import a photo that was taken in portrait mode, and export it with all the possible information check box checked (including location)
    => the exported photo doesn't contain the "generated date" and contains very little metadata (it does contain the location though).
    I then go back to iPhoto, and "revert" the photo "to original". It doesn't appear to change, and it still is displayed in portrait mode. But now if I export it, the export contains the full metadata.
    If I export a photo that got heavy modifications but that was taken in landscape mode, all the metadata is there.
    So it really looks like a bug related to the "portrait" automatic orientation. The metadata is lost somehow...

  • Aperture strips GPS from Sharing to Flickr despite Preferences

    Exporting images ("Sharing" them) from Aperture to Flickr (and also to Smugmug) strips the GPS data so that in Flickr and Smugmug no location is shown. Aperture Preferences are set to Include location info in exported photos. Exporting photos to files on my Desktop retains the GPS data.
    Sharing to Flickr from iPhoto also retains the GPS - the problem is with Aperture only.
    And only on my iMac. Sharing photos to Flickr /Smugmug from Aperture on my MacBook Air retains the GPS, so there's a workaround, However, I do most of my photo work on the iMac and would like to be able to figure this out.

    Yes, I have the same problem.
    My objective was to get a few photos with geolocation onto my iPhone.
    Putting them in Dropbox and downloading them from the Dropbox app worked for me.
    Oddly, Google Drive seems to also strip geolocation data.

  • IPhoto sharing not working

    As of today I am unable to share any of my photos to any of my accounts that are enabled in iPhoto, Facebook, and more importantly, flickr which I use for my work.  They are greyed out.
    I tried closing iPhoto, and reopening, but that didn't fix the issue, so I them deleted the accounts in iPhoto, and tried adding them again and act

    OK, so something is not quite right, I have had to reboot my iMac every day now to get iPhoto sharing back, otherwise it just greys out.
    Anyone know what the issue is?

  • Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.

    Using Yosemite 10.10.1
    Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
    What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
    When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
    Any ideas?

    Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

    Hello out there,
    I'm using a TiBook (G4 867MHz) and a MacBook Pro 17". They are connected via a WLAN-router. Additionally the MBP is connected to the internet via an UMTS-connection established with a Merlin 870XU type PC-card.
    Network is working fine, including screen-sharing. Also the internet connection on MBP works without error. But if I activate Internet-Sharing via WLAN to get my TiBook connected to the internet, the MBP connection to the WLAN is cut off.
    Can somebody tell me what's going wrong and how to solve it?

  • Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

    I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
    If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
    Thanks

    If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
    You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

  • IPhoto crashes during Flickr set up

    I installed the iLife 09 family suite on my computer then on my husband's (iMac 2.4 GHz intel core duo). iPhoto works flawlessly on my husband's. On mine however, it started out with the same problem others have posted: iPhoto crashing (or closing unexpectedly) upon starting. I followed the advice in a post to turn off AirPort and then start iPhoto turning AirPort on again once iPhoto was running. This seemed to solve that problem.
    My problem now is that iPhoto crashes (or closes unexpectedly) when I try to "set up" Flickr to work through iPhoto. I click the Flickr button and it brings up Safari to have me log into our Flickr account then I am supposed to select the "ok, I'll allow it" button - but somewhere in there iPhoto always crashes in the background. The log below is from one of these occasions (I have only pasted what looked important to me).

    I've tried to publish to MobileMe as well, and iPhoto always crashes during that scenario as well.
    I used my husband's computer to test the Flickr feature using the same library my computer was working with - his published perfectly.
    Here are the troubleshooting techniques I have used (all have yielded the same crashing of iPhoto during MobileMe/Flickr setup):
    tried both with and without the iPhoto Update 8.0.2
    tried restoring iPhoto 08 from Time Machine (can publish to MobileMe even as recent as the day I installed 09); then reinstalled iPhoto 09
    tried reinstalling iPhoto 09 while iPhoto 09 was still on the computer
    tried deleting the the com.apple.iPhoto.plist (but not the com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist)
    tried rebuilding photo library with all 5 options selected
    tried resetting Safari with all 9 options selected
    have opened and saved a file in Garage Band (I know I'm reaching now)
    tried starting with other libraries, including creating a new one
    Interesting: my new iWeb published content and pictures to MobileMe no problem!
    Background: my MacBook was not "born" with Leopard or iPhoto 08 - I put those on a year(?) ago (about the same time I upgraded my memory). And, my iPhoto 08 had been crashing or hanging when ever I tried to export (one of the reasons I wanted 09 so badly - to fix that problem). I thought that might have been due to my dotphoto file exported plugin - but I've deleted it and I've tried restoring past the time I installed it. iPhoto library has 6,700 pictures and 70 movies taking up 13.1 GB.
    Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? It feels like iPhoto 09 doesn't "talk" to the internet correctly.

    Patrick-
    Thank you for the suggestion. I still encounter the same problem after running repair disk permissions. Here's what I get: Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework/Versions/A/Resources/P lugins/..."
    the specific plugins vary (there are about 16) then it states ".../Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r--, they are lrw-r--r--.
    It also states this for nine /CoreServices/Front Row.app/
    There are also warnings; one is: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    It ends by saying Permissions repair complete. I have no idea what to do with this information!

  • 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,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally.
    OT
