Odd Photo Sharing Behavior

Made one of my routine full backup copy of my primary Managed Library (775 GB). Both copies functioned AOK, even though this backup copy was done and mounted on the USB dock. Went on day trip with grandchildren, came back and imported new photos to primary (backup no longer mounted).
Decided to share an album from the new trip project to my Apple TV 2, but in iTunes found the option to select projects and albums was unavailable -- just the full Library, at least that choice was available.
Checked that were I to choose to Share from the iPhoto Library, the selection choices were available. Opened other Aperture libraries, both in my normal User Account, and in other test user accounts. In all cases the option to choose specific projects or albums was fully available.
Looked at the Package of the primary Aperture Library, and found the iPod Photo Cache file apparently devoid of content, although structurally various folders were there -- this finding based upon size measurement.
Opened the backup of the Library and the option to choose projects and albums to Share fully available. Checked the Package of that backup copy, and found the iPod Photo Cache file to have size indicating content.
Reopened the primary Library, and exported the one new project added after my backup action thinking that I would import that into the backup library, and then transfer the iPod Photo Cache file from that library's package to the main library's Package. But on a whim, I checked in iTunes again and found the option to share only selected projects and albums was now fully available. Rechecked the size of the iPod Photo Cache file in the primary library, and it now had size of an expected amount.
Tested from ATV2, and the previous selections of albums were restored -- previous attempts while this was being investigated failed.
So the action to export a project as a New Library, or some other action resulted in the iPod Photo Cache being restored, and full functionality to Share also restored. Where had the content of the iPod Photo Cache file with my limited selection of albums to share been hiding is not a question I expect to be answerable, but it was probably in the Info.plist or another file in the package, which I now can no longer confirm.
It seems clear, however, that the listing of what to share is contained only at the Library level, in a file or files at the Package level, and not in any preference general to the use of Aperture in the User Account at large. This is one important clue as to why you can only choose one Aperture Library or one iPhoto Library, or one folder at a time to share.

I get the exact same response when I select more than one photo to share via Messages. It's obviously a bug in iPhoto so send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. Include the URL to this topic as will I.
What is happening the ShareKitHelper system component is locking up and only a reboot will clear it up:
UPDATE: just tested with 1, 2, 3 and 4 photos selected and the problem didn't appear until 4 photos were selected at once.

Iphone 6 icloud photo sharing not working

Today I got an iphone 6, did all the updates, and tried to use the icloud photo sharing. I can create a stream, add photos, and invite people to view; however, when other people accept the invitation nothing shows up except "No Items" despite me sharing 50+ photos. Also, when the other person adds photos to the stream I don't see anything on my end.
How do I fix this?

Hi there matmkirk,
I would recommend taking a look at the Photo Stream troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

I had a previous problem with this with my old iphone 4 and did not realize there was an issue until it was stolen. I would like to get this straightened out just in case anything ever happens with this phone.
Thank you in advance for any help.

HT4362 Photo sharing

I want to set up photo sharing with my Apple TV. When I go to Advanced in iTunes I find sharing options, but iTunes will not let me choose "Selected albums, events, faces" That option is gray. All I can choose is "All photos......" What am I doing wrong? OS 10.7.5 iTunes 10.7

Why is my shared photo stream taking up space on my iPhone when I have turned off photo sharing?

I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3. It's only an 8GB iPhone, so I only have about 5.2GB of space to use. So I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes on my iPhone. Photos is one of those things that don't stay on my phone long. I have deleted all of my pictures out of my albums (both camera roll and recently deleted) and there can be no photos found in my library. In settings, I turned off all photo sharing capabilities, so I shouldn't be getting shared photos from family members on my phone and stuff. So why does my storage say that shared photo stream is taking up 54.6MB? I would like it to say 0MB. Am I missing something? I've included a couple screenshots to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!

This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?

Photo Sharing

I installed a new software release on Apple TV AND a new software iTunes release on my Windows 7 laptop.
Photo sharing no longer works.

It doesn't have hit counts anymore (not happy with that change either) but Picasa Web Albums has proven to meet my needs WAY better than Photobucket. Better yet you can upload web sized or full file photos plus make them public or private or semi private. I think you get the first gig of storage free & it's $5.00 per year to expand that to 20 gigs, which I feel is fair & i have 2 different album sets where I pay the fee & one that I'll keep under the radar by replacing old albums with newer ones. Picasa is also a very good free editing program & VERY easy to automate for uploads. Just Google Picasa for the download site & more info. In the meantime this is the link to one of my paid for sites.
http://picasaweb.google.com/tcprcphotos
Which is made available to all the local clubs so they can relive each event as quickly as I can edit the photos.

Odd Calc Order Behavior

Hello all,
I've put together a hybrid analysis cube and I'm experiencing some odd calc order behavior. It appears the years are calculating backwards.
I load my 2007 end balances and calc forward three years. 2008 is correct, but 2009 and 2010 are incorrect. They are incorrect inasmuch as the calcs that require 2008/2009 end balances are incorrect. So I run the script again and now 2009 is right, but 2010 is incorrect. Then I run it once more and 2010 is correct.
It appears the end balances for 2008 and 2009 aren't available for 2009 and 2010, respectively. Thus, I think 2010 is calcing first, but with no 2009 end bals, so it's off. Then 2009 goes, again no end bals, so it's off. Then 2008 calcs, and since 2007 end bals are in there, it's calcing correctly. Thus, I have to calc again two times for 2009 and 2010 to be correct.
Here's my script:
Fix (@IRSiblings("2008"),"ScenarioMbr")
CALC ALL EXCEPT DIM("Years","Scenario");
Endfix
ScenarioMbr is a level 0 descendant of the Scenario dimension.
Thanks for any help anyone has.

I would suggest checking on your outline order. It sounds like your ending balance hasn't been calculated by the time the beginning balance needs it (as evidenced by your three passes). The order of members in your FIX statement has no bearing on the calculation order. By this, I mean make sure that your Years dimension is ordered as follows...
Years
+ 2007
+ 2008
+ 2009
+ 2010
Also, make sure that your periods (where your months are is, assuming it is a different dimension) is located above your Years dimension.
Lastly, how are you facilitating getting your Ending balances into your Beginning balances? Sometimes the sequencing for this type of work is improtant as well. For example, if your Ending Balance is a two-pass, it will not be ready until a second pass is done.
IF this doesn't help, maybe provide one of the BegBal members that isn't working, your outline order, the order of the Years dimension, and the dense/sparse settings (assuming BSO).
Good Luck!!

Odd Junk Mail Behavior

I've been experiencing odd Junk Mail behavior on my Mac; I've got the Mail app set so it puts the emails it thinks is Junk in the Junk folder. I do this because I've noticed that certain legitimate emails keep ending up in the Junk folder automatically.
I've also noticed that some of the emails in the Junk folder have not actually been flagged as Junk Mail, they were not colored brown by the Junk Mail rule and there is no button available to tell Mail it's not Junk. How do I stop Mail from flagging something as Junk when it doesn't seem to tag it as Junk but it still ends up in the Junk folder?
I see emails tagged as Junk in the Junk folder that are legit, so I click the "Not Junk" button and move them back to the proper mail folder. But the next time I get mail from the same source, it gets flagged and tagged as Junk again. I thought the Mail app learns from the training we give it. How do I resolve this situation?
I've already set the Junk filtering to not filter emails from recipients who are in my Address Book.

Either you’ve messed with the Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced settings, or those settings have become corrupt, or you have one or more rules that have a bearing on this.
Assuming it isn’t the latter, try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on you can easily upload each album to the site.
Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

3 questions: 1) I am unable on my Mac Book Pro to enable iCloud Photo sharing in iPhoto preferences, why not? I cannot see my iCloud drive contents.Why not?

Having a Macbook Pro i have taken and loaded in 569 photos from my cameras and want to share using iCloud. But I simply cannot get iPhoto to enable iCloud photo sharing. What could be the cause? what should I try other than the instructions which I followed three times already as outlined in the FAQ section of the help function?

Photo Sharing in iWeb.

Why is it that you can only lock the photo sharing for a photos page and not a welcome page or a blog page? This is stupid. You should be able to lock all photos if you want. Why has Apple disable this feature for a Welcome or a Blog page? There are photos one can use on those types of pages that can be equally pirated, and I don't like any of my photos being shared, no matter what size they are. I want the control of NOT sharing any of them.

There is no way to prevent anyone from getting a copy of a photo that's in a web page. The photos page just prevents downloading the photo files that were used in the slideshow but not from making a screenshot of them`.
Any screenshot of a photo will be at the pixel dimension as seen on the screen and 72 dpi resolution and can be printed as a quality photo only at a very small size.
The best way to show ownership of a photo is to put a watermark on each photo like this example . It was done with Photoshop. There are a number of watermarking applications available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of possible candidates.
