Keeping Photos in Photostream in Aperture When Photostream is full

Hi folks,
I've searched around and can't find an answer to this: I've got Photostream set up to sync with Aperture from my phone. At some point several thousand photos in, Photostream is going to start deleting the old photos and replacing them with new ones, as I reach my per user cap. My question is, how does this effect the local copies in Aperture? I've seen advice that if you need to delete your whole photostream, you must move the photos to a new project first in order to retain them. Does anyone know if this is the case as Photostream starts doing it's own rolling deletions as well?
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the reply. I was actually looking at the TUAW article earlier, though it doesn't seem to help my situation.
You are right -- my experience is definitely happening opposite from all the documented materials. I have "Automatically Import" selected, and they seem to be downloading locally -- from everything I can tell, they are stored locally in the library. But once they get bumped out of the 1000-limit queue, they are somehow yanked/disappearing from the library itself.
I've actually never enabled "Automatically Upload to Photostream", since I was already having any DSLR photos uploaded through my iPad...
I even tried to create a new library to see if that would correct the issue, but the same thing happened. It's extremely frustrating.
I posted a note over at Aperture Expert earlier with the hopes that someone has had the same issue.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How do I keep photos from photostream to iPhoto?

In other words, when I want to turn photo stream off on my iphone 4S, It asks if I want to delete the pictures on photo stream. Will this delete what I have taken from phone and is what is on my iMac? I want to keep the pictures on my computer..........not lose them.

How do I keep photos in a particular order when burning to disc?

I made an Album in iPhoto5 of 200 photos from a recent trip. The photos in the Album don't follow the sequence I shot them. I want the photos to stay in the new order I've given them, and I'd like to include titles to help explain many of the pictures. When I put the photos into a folder in Finder to burn them, they go out of order. Can I asign sequential numbers to this Album and still retain the titles? How do I keep them in order??? Thanks

Hi Tom,
You should be able to make a slidshow almost as easy as what you're trying to do right now... it'll take some pratice
Personally, I have both exported a slideshow from iPhoto to iDVD and also created a slideshow directly in iDVD, the latter is a better fit for what you're doing.
Open iDVD, create new project, name as you like and save, will auto open to work window, click on 'customize', pick a theme you like. Now click on 'Map' and in the customize pane click on 'Media'. In the media pane you have itunes, photos and movie, select photos... you're iPhoto library will appear along with all the albums you might have created and organized. Here's what makes it sweet, you can drag each album into the 'Map' Theme icon and it will automatically import and turn into a slideshow and take on the name of the album... to see your progess hit the Preview button... you'll have to do a little learning and tweaking, you can add music etc., but that's it, you made a slide show ready to burn to a dvd...
My suggestions would be to organize albums as you like, named appropriately and just have fun with it. You can save and go back and edit at a later date. Use the highlight and delete or cut options to remove etc etc etc...
You can burn project using the File > Burn DVD option or you can save the FINAL production use the File > Save As Disk Image option, and you can burn the DVD through disk utility which will give you more options on burn speed and buring at 1x speed may yield the best results...

How do I keep photos is a specific order when you burn to disc

I have placed forty pics in a folder, and arranaged them in a specific order for a client. When I burn them to a CD, they return to numeric order, based on the number assigned by my camera. Is there any way to have the pics remain in the order I wish them to be?
Flip

I'm not sure how you did the burn but one way to have control would be to drag the photos to a desktop folder, arrange them in that folder the way you want them, select the folder and burn it to CD - or DVD. I believe that that will work
Another way, I believe would be to rename the photos so that when they sort they come into the order you want (photo #1, Photo #2 etc)

In Photoshop V5 -How do I keep photos in the same order when Exporting a Collection to a Folder

Hi
In order to resize photos ready for Premiere Elements, I am Exporting my Collection to a folder, from the Organiser.
I then resize that Folder using Process multiple Files.
I then can import that Folder into PE.
BUT, the export seems to change the photo order to an apparent random order.
The Collection is in the right order, and there seems no options in the export dialogue to impact the order in the exported file.
Thanks
Chris
PS I am about to upgrade to version 7, but would like to get my process sorted out before then. maybe 7 does it differently.

Hi DJ
Thanks for the quick reply.
The good news is that what you suggest simplifies my process a lot. So thanks for that.
The bad news in the order in still wrong. I.E it's not as the collection order, but it is the same order as the Process Multiple file route!
So a step forward, but not quite there yet.
Thanks so far!

Hi, I own a I phone 4, a ipad 1 and just purchased a ipad 3, I have 15g worth of icould data but my photostream doesn't stream all of my photos to my new ipad when connected to wifi???? It appears to be streaming photos from the last 10 or so days but no more? I have enough storage on my new ipad??

Photo Stream does not count towards your iCloud storage plan.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 Photos in the Photo Stream album. Only photos taken within the last thirty days and since Photo Stream was activated will be synced.

Photostream management: avoiding multiple directories and keeping photos

Hi
Sorry in advance for a stupid question but I can't find any way of moving forward.
We take a lot of pictures with our iDevices and we are happy to see it automaticaly on our iMac (Aperture).
But, Aperture creates one directory per month (Photostream Jan 2013, Feb 2013...) and we like to manage our photos by themas so we drag and drop photos from photostream monthly directories to our own directories.
Once all photos from a month have been copied into the right directories, we would like to remove photostream dir in order to avoid 12 new dir per year.
We don't care if photos are removed from photostream on our devices but if we remove the Monthly dir, then photos are deleted from Aperture librabry :-(
Not sure to be crystal clear with my explanation.
If someone can help it will be great.
Thanks in advance.
P.

You need to drag the images from the Photstream or the Photostream Jan 2013 project to another project of your choosing.
Once the images are moved and placed into a new project you can delete the Photostream Jan 2013 project.
Remember all images need to be in a project and in only one project. Not sure where you are dragging them to given you're use of the term 'directories' in your post but if the images are deleted from Aperture when you delete the Photostream Jan 2013 projectt then you did not move the images to another project.

Hopefully someone can help me with my question. When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding; try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it: Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

When I import photos from Photostream into my iPhoto, it no longer organizes them into Events. I haven't been able to creat an Event since November 2013.

When I import photos from Photostream, iPhoto no longer organizes them into Events. Although I can organize my photos into old or newly created Albums, I haven't been able to create an Event since November 2013. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Flag the pic(s) and select the the Target Event and go Events -> Add Flagged Pics to Selected Event
i see how to do this
Drag the selected pic(s) to the target Event.
i'm struggling with this. i don't see a way to drag a pic from photostream direct to an event. if i'm in photostream, i can drag a pic, but i can't see any individual event to drag it to. i can dump it in Events in the sidebar and drag to an event from there, but that's a bit clunky.
beats me why i can copy a pic in photostream, but iphoto won't allow me to paste in an event???

Photos in Photostream not on IPad

The photos in my photostream in my icloud will not download to my ipad 4. I have tried a hard reset, I have turned photostream off on my ipad as well as deleted my icloud account from my ipad and resigned back in. I can't get it to work, all of my photostream photos on my mac mini and my iphone 4, but will not sync to my ipad. I have about 10 pics that keep downloading from photostream, but none of the others will. Please help

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again, the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

ICloud Photo Library does not show photos from photostream on other devices.

When I choose to use the iCloud photo library (beta) on my iPhone, the only photos that I can see are recent photos I've taken with my phone. If I disable this and only use the photostream, then all my photos are shown on my phone, including photos I took with my camera and uploaded to my Mac. What's the deal? I like being able to access my older photos or photos taken with other devices on my phone without using storage space. Am I able to do this with the iCloud photo library? Is it bc it's still in beta that I can't?

Yeah - I'm sticking with Photostream, and iPhoto right now. Once the new photo app is available across the board, and there is more literature on it, I will look into using the cloud, but I'm happy to keep it on my Mac. With the automatic import of Photostream photos, it really doesn't require a lot of work to keep photos on the Mac, and with a regular backup to TimeMachine, I'm comfortable that it is all backed up and safe....
Cheers,

Not all photos on photostream sync to iPad

IPhoto says I have 197 photos in my photo stream. I recently had to delete my iCloud account on my iPad 2 because the notes were not syncing. When I added my iCloud account back only a few photos from the photostream synced back up. What can I do to have all photos on photostream sync back to my iPad?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos from the last 30 days. Your backup would include your camera roll photos but they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your device.

HT204022 how do i get the photos from photostream to show up in the photostream on a windows 7 computer? I can't download them to the computer to free up space on the ipad

I can't see the photos clogging up our ipad when i hook the ipad up to the ciomputer. I can't dump them to a folder on ther computer. What I am going to end up doing is emailing them all to download and save from email..this really *****. It tells me to enable the photostream which i have done then doesnt recognize it..

Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then you can import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If you want them streamed to your computer, you have to sign into your iCloud account and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html. However, you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud (even though they may be on your iPad).

How do I get my photos from photostream in my PC to my iPhone?

I had to hand my phone in for repair a while ago and all my photos got deleted from my iPhone, but i had placed all my photos in photostream so I would be able to get access to them on my iPhone later on but now I can't get my photos from photostream in my PC into my photostream on my iPhone. When I take a picture with my iPhone it ends up in photostream but is doesn't work the other way around. I've been trying to get it to work for ages now, but I'm so close to throwing both my phone and computer out the window.
And yes, everything that has to do with photostream and icloud and so has been turned on so it's not that. Anyone who knows what to do?

On a PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later, open a Windows Explorer window. Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open.
