IPhoto Sharing with iCloud

Hi,
I followed the instructions to use iPhoto on my IMac. There's a problem with IPhoto. On the iCloud pages, it's written that I must update IPhoto. But it seems that my iPhoto 11 is up to date. When I go to iPhoto, there's no way I can see ICloud to activate the photosharing option.
Do you have an idea?
Thanks!

You can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters in order:
1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1
2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

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.

Sync iPhoto album with iCloud photo stream

I have a couple of albums - used basically as categories.
I want to be able to sync the albums with iCloud. I know you could just add the photos to an iCloud photostream, but it takes a couple extra minutes each time when you do that.
So basically, I want my albums to be copied as iCloud albums, and then just updated automatically when I add a new photo to that album.

Not possible. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

IPhoto sync with iClouds

Hi,
I was given this laptop at work, and i used it to sign in to my icloud account. it sync photos with iPhotos. Before leaving my job, i returned the laptop. But before giving in the laptop, i turned i cloud services and everything off but when I checked the iPhoto on that machine, I could see still some of my photos are there.
Does anyone know although i signed out from icloud and deleted the photos, why those photos are still visible in iPhoto?
Thank you inadvance

I am having the exact same problem. After a extensive wait without syncing (optimizing never finishes), I finally must force quit itunes to get my phone and mac back! As a result, I have only "photo roll" in my iphone 3gs

IPhoto Sharing with Facebook - Privacy issues

When I Share a photo or album from iPhoto to Facebook and select "Friends" the privacy settings for said pictures get overwritten once in FB to "Only Me". I have to log into the FB browser and manually chg the settings. Why does this happen?

My wife and I are currently on our long-term vacation, and we were using iPhoto to upload all our photos onto her Facebook account, including descriptions for each photo already edited. That is what sold us to using iPhoto: seamless integration with editing and labeling descriptions of our photos using iPhoto to Facebook. Now, just yesterday whilst in our hostel, we discovered that we are having the same loop-sign in problem that you have just described. We were able to upload all our photos and albums up until recently. This must be a bug, and seems to have happened when Facebook updated their app a week or so ago. Guess that teaches me to update our apps accordingly. Now, we are stuck on an incomplete album, awaiting for Apple to fix whatever bug there is. Otherwise, my wife and I will have to reevaluate what to do next, as our pictures and albums keep piling on until we have the chance to upload them. If anyone has a solution or quick fix, that would be most appreciated! :'(

IPhoto Sharing with Videos?

Is there any way to share videos stored in iPhoto 9 to another Mac using sharing within iPhoto? All I can see on the other Mac are the photos, the videos don't show up.

In a word, no. Sharing Video is not a feature of iPhoto.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback for feature requests.

Iphoto 9.6 is not sharing with Facebook,iMessage,iCloud and is not working for print orders

iphoto 9.6 on yosemite is deleting all of the pics from the former library, iphoto 9.6 can't share with Facebook despite that it is oke with the account. no sharing with iMessage and no sharing with iCloud possible the choices stay grey. also print orders are not possible it's stay also grey.

I had the same issue too, email, facebook, Twitter ect, all greyed out.
What ist the solution?
Did you read the thread?
here is one
I had the same issue, email, iMessage, Facebook,etc.. plus print all greyed out. I went up to the File menu, clicked on the Switch to Library drop down. Since I only have one library it was already selected, hit choose and all of the functions work again. Seems the system wasn't acknowledging my original library once I updated to Yosemite or 9.6. Either way, it works now.
If that does not work here is another suggestion
Try repair permissions with Disk Utility.

When sharing photos with iCloud the geotags disappear, how do I get the location?

The place where a photo was taken is displayed in Photos but not in the shared folder, when pictures are shared with iCloud the information just isn't there. It's not from the settings, everything is enabled. I have no idea why it doesn't work properly but it's of no use to me to share pictures with someone if we don't know where the other person's photos have been taken. Am I missing something? How do I get someone else's photos with their geotags?

Use View -> Status bar ; and click on it so the tick/check mark appears.
Note in the next version firefox 4 the status bar is being replaced see [[What happened to the Status Bar?]], and if you want something similar you will then need to use an add-on.

How do I restore contacts to outlook after a sync with icloud?

I did the same exact thing, for the same reason as below, and have the same problem now.

Re: Can contacts moved fr Outlook Contacts be restored in response to rstone32566
Hi Norm123
I had set-up iCloud Control Panel on the new computer. I did get the contacts from iCloud back in my new computer, but they are in a new Contact folder that is apparently separate from the original Contacts Folder. Now on my new PC, when I open Outlook and go to Contacts, Outlook shows two separate folders under My Contacts, both of which are labeled "Contacts". One apparently came from iCloud, but the other is empty and appears to be the original Outlook Contacts folder. I say this because the empty Contacts folder cannot be deleted, i.e., right clicking on it doesn't provide any option to delete it. The other Contacts folder, which appears to mirror the one in iCloud, does offer this option to delete.
Then in Outlook on my new PC under the All Contacts column I also have a folder selection named "Contacts in iCloud", as well as a selection of a group of sub-contacts that I had originally set-up on my iPhone. This subset of Contacts is maintained on my iPhone and was also intentionally shared with iCloud.
What I really had hoped to do initially was to maintain my PC's original Contacts on my PC, but to share the file with iCloud so if I was away from home I could look up a primary contact on my iPhone by opting to view them via iCloud.
The other problem I have now is that when selecting Contacts on my iPhone, my only choices are to view the contacts that I originally set-up on my iPhone, or to view a selection called All Contacts, which displays not only the contacts that originally came from my PC, but merges them in with the contacts set up on my phone. Of course this gives me a list of contacts that includes double entries for every contact that was set up on my iPhone and who is also in my PC's Contacts folder.. In other words, on my iPhone I can select the group set up on my phone by itself, which is great, but if I check the "All Contacts" group on my iPhone it will not allow me to unselect the group set up on my iPhone.
I wish your original suggestion to export vcards from the iCloud worked as the link you gave me described. I can seem to re-populate the original Contacts folder on my new PC by importing the vcards, but I can only get this to work one contact at a time. Selecting multiple contacts doesn't seem to work.
Thank you very much for all your help. I hope the feedback in this message makes sense. If you find out how to get the multiple selection export to work as advertised, please let me know
Best regards,
Bob (rstone32566)

If you downloaded iWorks apps under the ID you are using on your iPad, regardless of whether you erased it or not, the apps are still tied to that ID.
Have you signed in to the App Store on your iPad?
Settings > iTunes and App Store
Tap your Apple ID and if you have not signed in, sign in using the same Apple ID and Password.
The same should be done with iCloud.

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud? I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs. What's happening, and what's a solution? Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
ERROR MESSAGE:
Photo Stream
Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button.
WHAT I NEED:
How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
What I've tried:
I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
I have photo stream checked.
I have my photo stream checked
I have shared photo stream checked.
I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
MY SET UP:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
4gb of RAM
iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.
Desert_dweller5

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

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 backups to iCloud with iPad

Hi. I use iPhoto only with my iPad and I have also activeted iCloud. I also use the photo journals of iPhoto which I share in iCloud. I know that iCloud bacups the camera roll album. I think that the shared photo journals should have been backuped in iCloud but how is with the original photos which I have used in the photo journals? In iPhoto there is also an album called "Modified", is that backuped in iCloud?

I am still wondering when I look at iCloud statistics (iCloud>Storage,backups>Storage>Documents and data) it says that in iCloud there is documents and data 798,5 Mb from iPhoto. What data is this?
When I look iCloud statistics (iCloud>Storage,backups>Storage>Backups>My iPad) it says that the sizes of backups are: Camera roll 1,3 Gb and iPhoto 1,6Gb. This 1,6 Gb must include some photos, it can't be only the size of iPhoto application?
Who can really explain what data and photos does iPhoto backup?

I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi. (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)
