Iphoto uploading to photo stream frozen
Hello,
iPhoto has recently encountered a problem. Over the holiday period I used my camera and put the memory card in my iMac. This usually imports the photos to iPhoto which it did and then imported them to my Photostream. When I go into my photostream none of the photos are there but in the top left corner it says that it's uploading the photos but has not done so.
Does anybody know a way that either I can stop this upload or get the upload going again manually?
iCloud storage is not for files from your Mac. It's just for mobile devices. The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail

To backup your library or photos get an external HD and use it with Time Machine to Backup your entire boot drive.

Moved iPhoto to external HD now photos won't upload to Photo Stream
I moved iPhoto to an external HD connected to my iMac and now Photo Stream says it is uploading photos but nothing is happening.
After moving iPhoto (and selecting the new location as the default by holding down the Option key when opening the app) I added some photos by dragging them from Finder to iPhoto Library Photos. I then dragged them from Library Photos to Photo Stream and all appeared to be fine. However after an 2 hours it still says "Uploading 140 photos" but no photos are moving to the Photo Stream folder.
Any help would be appreciated!
RLQuit out of iPhoto, relaunch and try again. Also the following may help:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. See if that willjump start the upload to Photo Stream.

Slow uploads to Photo Stream via iPhoto
Photos I upload to Photo stream from my Mac (from a DSLR camera) always upload very slowly. They're big images, 2-4 meg, so I would expect them to be slower than from my iPhone, but literally they can take 2-3 minutes each. Anybody know if that's normal? If so, why? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream. Then add photos to the PS again.

I do not understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, help me?
I do not understand iPhoto to say the least. I've imported my photos which I have stored on an external networked hard drive. However after they've been uploaded to the iPhoto library, I've got NUMEROUS duplicates which seem to be showing as different events even though they are the same photo.
Another thing is that in Photo Stream which I have turned on my iPhone 4, I seem to have photos showing up in there that have nothing to do with a photo I've taken on my iPhone or manually dragged them to Photo Stream. They are mostly some old photos that I've NEVER had on my iPhone at all. How did they get there. My photos that I've taken with the phone or saved on my Iphone are there just like I was expecting but most of these photos, and this is while I'm on my iMac, are just a bunch of random photos. I don't even know how to delete these photos in Photo Stream to try and start over.
Could someone help me understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, these are two different questions please!Is there a specific file that iPhoto makes and stores on my computer or the external drive that has the iPhoto library? I want to delete all instances of it and try reloading my library.
Also, how do I reload or start fresh a Photo Stream library on my computer? What's weird is that the photos on my iMac are not what's on my iPhone. I mean I have the ones that are on my iPHone are within the iPhoto's Photo Stream but then there is also a bunch of other photos that I have no idea how they got there. -
Can movies be uploaded in Photo Stream?
Can movies made on iPhone, iPad or any camera be uploaded to Photo Stream?
I took a move with iPhone and it did not upload. Then I pushed movie from iPhoto to Photo Stream and it did not upload.
ThanksSj,
Those are really red herrings all. The storage issue is the same whether you sync the videos over a USB cable or OTA, nichts wahr?!?
And besides, Aperture is designed to have limitless library sizes; in fact, an Aperture library can span MULTIPLE physical drives, so your storage argument doesn't hold water.
Now your argument regarding the syncing from the compluter to the iOS device is a sound one, but Apple has already addresed it by only keeping the last 1000 photos synced in the photostream; they could have done something similar for videos.
Lastly, the 5G of storage only applies to your email, documents, and camera roll:
Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage. Since your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data don’t use as much space, you’ll find that 5GB goes a long way.
My real point and main question is why didn't apple at least give us the option of choosing to wirelessly sync our home-made videos like everything else. -
New photos taken with my iPhone 4s are not being uploaded to photo stream...
Last weekend I tool a few photos with my iPhone and they were uploaded to photo stream as soon as I connected to wifi. I was able to see them on my iPad and MacBook Pro as sooon as I opened iPhoto...
Today I took a few more but they were not uploaded to photo stream when I connected to wifi... I reset photo stream and now it will not update...
I havent really changed any settings on my iPhone... What can I do???Me too, I'm looking for help for that kind of problem.
Two months ago, I posted this:
hello,
Once Icould control panel is opened on my computer, how can I send the files from my phone ? Because they are not coming by themselves.
When I click on "Manage", I do see a back up made made in end 2013. How can I access to it from my computer ?
And another question: In "photo stream options", when they say: "...and upload photos you add to your photo stream from this computer", the upload is only for photos which are inside the Icloud folder "photo stream", right ?
If there is a photo on desktop or in "my pictures", it won't be uploaded ? Because I share my pc with someone and I don't want other things end up on my Iphone.
Thank you for you help.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?Is there a way I can stop
this ?
No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space. -
I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto. The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream. -
My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?
When did this deletion happen? Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer. With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).
See this link: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8 or later - Apple Support -
*sometimes* photos won't upload to photo stream
Ever since updating to iOS 6 I've been having problems with photo stream.
Sometimes I take a photo on my iphone 4s - it appears in my camera roll - but it doesn't upload to photo stream, even though I am fully connected to wi-fi.
Then I take another photo, and all of a sudden that second photo uploads to photo stream, but the first one still doesn't.
Sometimes I'll be out and about taking dozens of photos. When I return home and connect to wi-fi my photos don't upload to my photo stream. Other times they do.
It's very temperamental and difficult to figure out why.
I have photostream turned on in icloud. I have recently restored my iphone to factory settings in an attempt to resolve the issue, but to no avail. When I experience these problems there's never an issue with internet connection - browsing on safari works perfectly well.
Any thoughts? Does anyone have the same problems?Thanks JBJ612. I'm the same. If I go to my friends house and connect to his wi-fi my photos upload normally.
I've tried resetting my wi-fi. I've tried renewing the wi-fi lease on my iPad, and I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting, but nothing works.
It must be an iOS problem. I hope apple fixes this soon. -

i have i Photo 8.1.2. do i need to buy iPhoto 11 to photo stream through iCloud?
Yes, and you need to be at lion level in the os.... AND you need to have an intel chip set greater than intel duo core to run lion. Don't make my mistake and buy iPhoto 11 only to discover I need to upgrade to lion (which I can't on both of my macs!)

What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto? Will photo stream be eliminated? I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.
Just because Apple will no longer support IPhoto or Aperture doesn't mean that the versions that are still out there still won't work, function or still do what it is designed to do.
I do not like all of this offsite, Cloud service storage, anyways. I rather have easy, trouble free access to all of my data locally.
I am still planning on using the current versions of IPhoto and Aperture as I am not moving any time soon to Yosemite or any newer OS versions based on it. I still use a lot of legacy software that I simply can't afford to upgrade any farther.
Plus, I use other photo book sites other than Apple's own service, anyways, because these other services offer more products and are far more flexible than Apple's own print services. -
if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?
If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices. You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space. However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently). If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space. If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.
