IPod photo stream sync with iPhoto

Hi,
I just synced my iPod photo stream to iPhoto on my laptop, but now I've decided I don't want to have my iPod photos on my laptop, is there a way of reversing this sync??
Thanks

Hi Ruby93,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you no longer want to see your Photo Stream photos on your Apple computer. The attached article explains how to turn on Photo Stream. Where the article explains how to enable Photo Stream, you would do the opposite by unchecking the box.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
Mac:
Go to Apple () > System Preferences > iCloud.
Select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream).
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is selected.
Open the app that you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on in that app. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
Have a great day,
Joe

What is causing horizontal lines in photos after syncing with iPhoto?

I have the iphone4s and iphoto11 on a MacBook Pro. All of my photos look fine on the MacBook but when I sync it with the Iphone and then look at them on the iphone many of them have horizontal lines in part or all of them. I have repaired the database and rebuilt the thumbnails and deleted the photos on the iphone and re-synced it but the lines all still there. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi klapfaddle,
Try cleaning the printhead up to 3 times. To do this, press the "wrench" icon on the control screen of the printer, select Tools / Clean Printhead. Did that help?
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Photos not syncing with iPod touch

I've been having a weird problem when syncing photos with both 2G, 3G and 4G iPod touches for the last 8 months or so.
Photos that that were taken in a portrait (vertical) orientation using my Canon camera (and synced with iPhoto - currently at v. 8.1.4) are being synced with my iPod touches without any problems BUT photos taken in the landscape (horizontal) orientation are not being transferred to the any of my iPod touches.
It worked fine for years but all of a sudden, the problem appeared. When I sync in iTunes I get an error saying that 'Photo named xx could not be transferred' (or something like that). The message appears for one photo but the problem affects an increasing number of photos (any photo taken since the problem started).
If I edit the landscape photos in iPhoto and change something about these photos (e.g., crop them) then they sync no problem.
The photos taken (and stored in iPhoto) before this problem started are still being synced with my iPods without any problems.
Is this a glitch with the Canon camera which is somehow corrupting the photo's meta data? Or is it a problem with iPhoto or iTunes?
Any insight/assistance is greatly appreciated!

I have a similar problem with my iPod touch (I think 4th gen, it's software 4.1 anyway)
Sometimes when I sync it comes up with a window saying "no photos were copied to your iPod because there is not enough free space" even though there clearly is. The bar at the foot of the window also indicates that there are photos on there as well. To get round this bug I have to delete some music files and re-sync.

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

I have an iPhone 4S running software 5.1 (9B179) and cannot sync the photos in PhotoStream with iPhoto '11 v 9.2.1 (628). There's no option to update iPhoto and no option of PhotoStream (which is enabled on my phone). Can anyone help?

Thanks, Peter.
The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications. This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files. I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect. I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed. Will let you know if that makes any difference. I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches. If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
Best,
Mike

TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream. Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on. Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?

Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Ok so that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I have over 900 photos in photo stream on my I Phone 4S that go back for the last year. However my I Pad 2 seems to delete them after 30 days. I also set up the new version of I Photo on my fiancee's I Mac and the 900 photos haven't synced wtih that either. It's really strange. I'm curious as to how to fix this issue.

TS3697 My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto

My iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, but I get no warning message. Just no update of photos. I do not believe i updated anything at the time that iTunes stopped syncing with iPhoto, its possible this coincided with one of the iTunes updates and i did not notice. I cannot see any new photos or albums in iPhoto in iTunes. How do I fix this? I already tried deleting the iPod photo cache in my iPhoto library. No luck. Any idea how to solve this?

Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Unable to Sync with iPhoto albums

Using iTunes 6.01 and iPod Video I wish to sync with iPhoto (5.04) albums.
In iTunes Preferences/iPod/Photos I have selected the Synchronize photos from iPhoto but am unable to select an album (Copy selected albums only is grayed out and no albums appear in the selection box). iPhoto operates OK and photos are stored on external firewire drive.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if you are still having this problem, but I think the issue might be corrupt or malformed data being written by iPhoto to the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto library folder.
One common cause of this is having an ampersand in a keyword (e.g. "vacations & travel") and then using the keyword in a smart album. Having an ampersand in a folder in the Finder path where your library is located can also cause this, as can keywords that use foreign character encodings.
The quick way to find out the offending corrupt data is to download iPhoto Library Manager (http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iPhotoLibraryManager.dmg) and then point it to your iPhoto library folder. The album column will tell you the line number of the malformed data in the XML file, and then you can open the XML file, locate the line number and see what item is causing the issue. If it is a keyword, just open iPhoto and delete it. If it is a caption or other text, delete or rename in iPhoto. Do not edit the albumdata.xml file directly, as this file is automatically generated by iPhoto and any changes you make will be overwritten. (more detailed steps on troubleshooting this issue is at http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/Documentation/iPLM/pgs/albumdata.html)

Sync with iPhoto

I just want to copy iPhoo pictures to iPod.. and it will not let me - unless I sync with iPhoto... My iPhono ibelieve is synched with my personal MacBook Pro and the image that I want to copy is on my work Mac. It is saying that if I synch with my work Mac. it will erase all photos that is already on my iPod..
Is there a way just to copy. I know iTunes music will let me do that. Is it that the iPhoto image format is not optimized for iPod.. but....Can iTunes import images from iPhoto - optimized for iPod...
You guys still with me.??
Help.

See here for compatible photo formats.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2335?viewlocale=en_US
However, when I try to drag the JPG into iTunes (Actually into iPOD directly, it give me error saying that it is not correct format.
You cannot load photos to an iPod in this manner for viewing on an iPod. You can store photos on an iPod (like you would any other storage device) if you drag them to the iPod using (say) finder, but they will not be viewable.
If you want to view the photos on the iPod, then they must be transferred via iTunes, and as I said previously, this cannot be done manually.

Getting error when attempting to sync with iPhoto

I just purchased a new iPod Classic, when I tried to sync with iPhoto I get the error message "Unknown Error -50" or something close to this, I'm sure the error number is -50. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? iPhoto works fine.

OK, I've figured out what is happening. After researching the XML file information available on the web, I found out that iPhoto doesn't actually use this file. It simply creates the XML file for other programs to use (like iTunes). The bottom line here is that I would run the xmllint utility, test that iPhoto still works (causing the bad data to be put back) and then running iTunes, at this time it still failed because iPhoto had updated the XML file with the bad data.
Running xmllint and fixing the line that it pointed out and then running iTunes allowed me to sync my photos to my iPod. For me it's a bad comment there was some unprintable character in the file that was causing the problem. The xmllint utility correctly identified the bad line and bbedit let me fix the issue (there is a bbedit setting that shows invisible characters). I haven't run iPhoto and attempted to fix the bad comment yet, I'll report on my efforts later.
Thanks to all for you help.
