PC to Mac IM photo sharing

Hi. I am wondering if someone may know an instant messenger that will allow instant photo sharing. My friend is on a pc and I am on a mac. We want to pass photos instantly like she can do with her other Yahoo messenger friends on PCs. I have researched this but cannot find a program that will do this. Does anyone know? thank you!

yes, but what about your playcounts, ratings, etc. ?
before you do anything, check these reads: one and two.

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?

Cant get to photos so nothing but .MAc any good for photo sharing anymore !

It seems that as we cannot access the photos (easily) in iphoto 08 as it is in package that any photo sharing except .Mac is pretty well useless.. Is this correct ???
I have Flicr, Photobucket Picasa and Koffeephoto online photo sharing accounts and now I cannot upload to these because Apple seems to want hide our photos in a package . Funny that it works with .MAC but I am not paying for this service when alls I need has been available free for quite a while and my friends go there to see my photos. It almost feelings like I am being forced towards .Mac because of this.
Are other people having the same upload hassles to these other accounts because of this or is there an easy way to get this to work. I really hope I am not going to be forced to open the package and copy photos out of it and then go through the services upload programs. Have I missed something ?
Thanks

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
There are plug-ins for exporting directly to Flickr, perhaps there are for the other sites too. Search on MacUpdate
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Photo sharing videos to mac

I have iCloud photo sharing set-up properly. We created a shared folder on an iPhone 5. 3 of us shared videos and photographs to this folder. On both my iPhone and iPad, I can see photographs and videos in this folder. However, in iPhoto on my iMac, in this folder, I can only see photographs and not the videos. So, how do I import videos created on a friends iphone and shared in an icloud folder into my iphoto library?

Hello 2tmom,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To be able to view the videos within a shared Photo Stream, the device needs to have at least the following:
To see videos contributed to a shared stream, or photos and videos contributed by other subscribers, you need an iCloud account, a compatible device, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
Apple TV (second generation) with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you can use any up-to-date browser to see photos and videos added by the owner and all contributors.

Issue with Photo Sharing on iPhoto on Mac

Hellp everyone, this is my first time posting on the Apple Support communities. I have been having issues with my Photo Sharing on my Mac (Iphoto 11). I recently was on vacation and wanted to share the photos with my girlfriend and a few family members. I uploaded my photos to Iphoto on my mac and then went to Share, Photo Stream, and then crated a Photo Stream of our vacation. It asks me to name the photo stream and invite people. When I click on ok it creats the photo stream and the people I invited get invitations to join the photo stream, however, when I go to look at the photo stream there is no photos in it and none of the people i invited see any of the photos either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

SOLVED!
I had the same question. Visited this thread and was disappointed to hear the feature was gone.
Then I thought it just COULDN'T be. So I kept tapping. AND FOUND IT!
Basically, when you are in your Photos App, as a previous poster said, it now divides your photos into "Moments". These moments are arragned by Place and Date.
Wherever it says the name of a place, just tap the name of the place (above the tiled thumbnails of the pics taken in that place) and you will be taken to a map, centered on the Moment in question. Use finger gestures to zoom in and out, and you will see the pics you have taken, georeferenced and tagged to the locations you took them, as before (except now in IOS7 it uses Apple Maps, not Google).

Can't enable iCloud photo sharing on my Mac

I recently had some problems with my computer where it would not turn on so I had to restore from a time machine backup. Ever since the backup, everything on the computer is working exactly as expected except for the fact that I cannot turn on iCloud photo sharing. I've tried to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in... didn't help. I tried to delete iPhoto.... Didn't help. I have noticed that if I have the "Photos" checkbox under the iCloud menu in System Preferences checked that a process called "iCloud Photos" comes up in the Activity Monitor. This process takes up 100% of my CPU and never goes away. I'm pretty certain that this is the issue but I'm not sure what to do from here. If I try to end the process it just comes back up. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the checkmark in the iCloud preferences window. I have attached a few screenshots to help illustrate. Thanks in advance for your help!

I just tried with a different iCloud account and it worked! So the problem is with my iCould account... unfortunately, it might not be very easy to troubleshoot.
UPDATE: When I signed back in to my normal iCloud account it still worked! I'm not sure what signing in with the other account did but it obviously helped! Thank you so much for your help!

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.

I am unable to upload any photos to photo sharing sites?

For the last two days I have been unable to upload any photos regardless of size to a professional photo sharing website. I have tried everything possible such as disabling my Norton services, emptying the DNS cache, clearing all browers histories and all cookies. I've tried creating new accounts on the website and nothing has worked. I then tried to upload photos to another site and when the photo started to load it said that I lost internet connection yet I didn't. I am able to use my daughter's dell and can upload photos just fine on any site with her computer. I did a live chat with Norton and they ran me through a series of things as well and said it is something with my mac. Does anyone have any suggestions???? I'm at a complete loss and beyond frustrated with this entire experience.

Hi, Thank you so much for the info.... I really do appreciate it. We had the laptop updated by way of a system upgrade with RAM and an additional SSD drive. Once reconfigured all programs were reinstalled but Iphoto is not among them. Iphoto was on the laptop when purchased so we have no additional discs. Before the laptop was updated we backed the photos up to an extrenal hard drive so we have them, but cant access them. Could I purchase Iphoto 8 stll? Would this work? We would also require an external CD drive as we no longer have the disc drive in the laptop (I think the extra new bits took over). You may have noticed I have very limited knowledge on computers so any help dispite how simple it may sound to some would help me greatly. I just want all my photos back .... Thanks inadvance... Hope to hear soon x

Photo sharing option non existent in iTunes

Hi Guys
Bit of a weird one, a customer of ours cannot get photo sharing to work between his Mac (13" Macbook Pro) and 2nd generation Apple TV, music, video sharing etc all work absolutely fine but his iTunes (version 10.0.1) does not have "Choose Photos to share..." under the advanced menu in iTunes, its just not there at all.
Any ideas? Can this be turned on anywhere or is it an automatic feature?
Thanks in advance.
(PS posted in this part of the forum as its to do with home sharing)

When I connect an iPad to a Mac, which photos are available for import?

I seem to have created an ever-growing, self-multiplying population of photos shared between my Mac, my iPad, my iPhone, and iCloud!
I'm trying to clear everything up and start from scratch, but one thing in particular is bothering me. I connect my iPad with a USB cable to my Mac, open iPhoto on the Mac, and look at the iPad under Devices. It is showing me that there are 1331 photos, of which 724 have yet to be imported. Yet the vast majority of these photos are actually already in iPhoto on the Mac.
What I'd like to know — and I'm finding impossible to work out — is: exactly what photos on the iPad am I seeing? Obviously not just the photos in the Camera Roll, which if I look on the iPad contains 284. Does it include the contents of "All Imported" that shows up under Albums on the iPad, and contains 1046 photos? This gives the correct total number that is showing in iPhoto (well it comes to 1330 instead of 1331). But I can see some pics in iPhoto, in the iPad device window, that do not seem to be in the Camera Roll or All Imported on the iPad itself.
It's all very confusing, and I can find no documentation about this question. Anyone any ideas?

There is not much documentation on this.
The iPad User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf) states, that the photos you imported from a camera to your iPad can be imported from the iPad by connecting it via USB to your computer. iPhoto or Adobe Elements can import them.
Does it include the contents of "All Imported" that shows up under Albums on the iPad, and contains 1046 photos?
So yes, the "All imported " events will be included.
But I can see some pics in iPhoto, in the iPad device window, that do not seem to be in the Camera Roll or All Imported on the iPad itself.
Have you photos hidden on your iPad (in iPhoto)?

HT201077 Can only some subscribers to an iCloud Photo Sharing album post?

Seems like iCloud Photo Sharing is missing some key features. Or clarity.
I've created an iCloud Photo Sharing album, to share baby photos with family and friends.
I want to my wife to also be able to upload photos to this album, but not everyone else.
Can an iCloud Photo Sharing Album have 2 administrators?Or can we have individual subscriber settings to specify who gets to upload and who doesn't?
Do all subscribers see who the other subscribers are? Family dynamics dictate that some members should NOT see each other (or their comments), but I don't want to have to create an album for each of those people).
Do email (non-iOS) folks get an email notifications of newly uploaded photos? (families = many generations, some of which aren't iOS compatible) What's the fix?
Thanks!

Hi there Anthony Sbarro,
You may find the information in the article below helpful. If you delete the photos, they will only delete from the photostream.
iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
How do I delete photos from a shared stream?
If you are the owner of a shared stream, you can delete photos from the stream in the same way you delete any other photos from your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC. The photos will be automatically deleted from the stream on all your devices and the devices of anyone subscribed to the stream. Any photos that were previously saved or downloaded from the shared stream to another location, such as the Camera Roll, will not be deleted from that location. Learn more about deleting shared photos.

MobileMe Photo Sharing Alternative

I need to upload quite a large numner of pictures that will be viewed by a bunch of friends. I have previusly done this using iWeb and MobileMe. Can anyone reccommend an alternative now MM is gone? Ideally, I would like to dump the photos somewhere that both Mac & PC users can easilty flip through and also see each photos file name.

Have a look in the MobileMe forum if you are looking for photo sharing alternatives.
If you want to continue using iWeb you need to choose another method of publishing...

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

I shared a video with photo sharing and now it's no longer there. Why?

I took a video and then used photo sharing. When I went to go look at it later on, it was no longest there. My family received the notification and then could not access it either. Thoughts???

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
You see the orange Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden (View > Toolbars).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars" or "Firefox > Options"

Confused about photos/shared/albums folder

Hi there,
I have an iPhone 5 iOS 8. under my photos: I have the collection of photos taken to date. under the Shared tab (iCloud photo sharing), I have activity, and another album; under the Albums tab, I have camera roll, my photo stream, videos, events from my mac, faces from my mac, recently deleted, and Last 12 Months from my mac.
I do not have enough storage in my iCloud to update. I would like to understand why I cannot delete photos in various albums that are "from my mac". In the Last 12 Months folder from My Mac, there are 320 photos. I believe these are stored on my macbook so I don't need all of those on my phone. How do I remove some of these photos that are taking up iCloud space?
why can't the photos under the Photos tab where collections is found be deleted? I am so confused. It seems like I have multiple copies of the same photo in different folders. Can someone set me straight on what is what. I can't seem to learn about the difference in any of the mac support resources.

Photo Library contains all of your photos except Camera Roll. Because you have only one album with photos (the other is empty) the number of Photo Library equals to "for itunes" album.
846 (camera roll)+788 (Photo Library) are all of your photos that you have in iPhone.
Everything else is a "shortcut" ("for itunes" folder points to Photo Library, "for screen" album may points to Camera Roll or/and Photo Library).
That means that you have only 1634 photos in your iPhone instead of 2536 that iTunes say.
Transfer your Camera Roll to your computer to sync it back later as an album. (like "for itunes").
Empty your Camera Roll (you have to do it from time to time anyway) and un-sync the "for itunes" album and everything else. Try to empty your iPhone from any photo in Photo app.
Check your storage in Settings>General>Usage>Photos and Camera. Slide to delete if it needs.
If everything is correct sync back the "for itunes" and the folder that contains your 846 photos from Camera Roll.
Are there also Videos in your iPhone?
When you sync the "for itunes" folder did you checked the "Include videos" (or something like that) in Photos tab of iTunes sync page?
