Photo Library Events Sync

Is there any way to change key photo of events copied to iPhone? I have set a key photo in every iPhoto event, but the iPhone library uses the first pic of every event as a key photo.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

My iMac is home to a 400GB photos library currently syncing to a 500GB iCloud a/c. My 3 MacBooks have much less space which I need and seems to be getting used up fast as it syncs.

How do I reduce the size of the library on the MacBooks - I have already set optimise in preferences but it is using up the space available.
What happens when I download a movie - will it automatically reduce the size of the photos library or am I screwed?

OK, had already done all that. My primary concern is whether the system will be fooled by the fact that it will take some time for the 400GB to upload and for the MacBooks to know what volume they are dealing with. It's currently at 100GB after over a day. I guess if it fails I can disconnect from the cloud on the MacBooks and delete the library, right.
If I was transferring data onto the hard drive could it really optimise that quickly?
What is your basis for trusting the magic - have you experienced this?
I've updated my Macs, my wife's Mac, her fathers Mac and my mothers Mac.
It worked everytime, but it takes a while (days or weeks if your library is large)

Photo library not syncing all photos

iCloud photo library and syncing (not all photos)
I seem to have an issue with iCloud photo in that on my iPhone I have 2,224 photos, on my iPad it shows I have 2,211 photos and on my Mac it shows I have 2,209 photos And on icloud photo library on the web show 2,270 photos. For some reason all the photos on iCloud Photo Library are not getting sync'd to the other devices. On the bright side all my videos are sync'do across all devices properly!
Anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I realize that this is the iTunes forum. I'm using iTunes to sync my iPhone so it seems the right place. I've also cross posted in the iPhone Forum.

Photo library and sync help

1. I have a photo in my photo library on my iPhone will not let me delete. How can delete it?
2. What is the best way to delete apps from the iPhone? I still see the apps that I did not sync. Why is this.

Having the same problem - except the photos are not in the iphoto '11 photo library.
They are under the photo library tab of my iphone - even organized by some strange date (Jan 1970) under the events tab - but when i got to iphoto - they're nowhere to be found... very frustrating. Tried searching by date but they just don't seem to be there.
Stranger still - the photo count on my phone is the same as iphoto... they're there somewhere....

Photo library beta - syncing images to icloud takes forever

I started using the icloud photo library (beta) yesterday and my phone is still uploading photos. My phone has been on a wifi network for the better part of the last 24 hours and still it's only managed to upload about 230 of 800 images/videos. It seems that most of the images uploaded during the night, but the last 12 hours it has been stuck at "uploading 560 images". Anyone know what the problem might be? Or if there even is a probIem? Might it just be that this service is extremely slow? I have an iphone 5 with ios 8.1.2.

Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
Did a factory reset on iPhone
Restored the thing from previous backup
Re-entered all my passwords and such
Now it's syncing again.
The whole procedure took me about two hours.
No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

Create low rez photo library to sync with iPhone / iPad

Is there a tool or utility to create a duplicate photo library that's resized smaller so I can sync them to my iPhone? I'd like to have all my photos on my devices but don't want to waste a a lot of space. Ideally this tool would be automatic so I wouldn't need to manage it manually. For instance if I transferred new photos from my camera it would then automatically create new smaller sized photos for my devices. Thanks for shy suggestions!!!

No.
The iPhone already creates smaller sized photos for the iPhone Photo App so its would be pretty pointless.
You could alwasy create your own minimal size iPhoto content however I have seen reports/threads in here of iPhoto upscaling tiny photo's/images to keep the size consistent with the rest of the library. Unfortunately, the upscaling often will create bigger space images that you started out with.

ICloud Photo Library not syncing on Mac

I am running OS X 10.10.3 (14D136) and turned on iCloud Photo Library over a week ago. It is stuck uploading on 2,033 originals to go. It has done 3000 already, but has been on this number for several days. I also have an iPhone 6 and iPad. New photos I am taking on my iPhone are not appearing in the All Photos section of OS X Photos.
Why has it stopped syncing - any ideas?
I have restarted, done a safe boot, repaired permissions, and logged out/in of iCloud.
Thanks

I found a solution that worked for me.....It seems there were some pictures that were blocking others...
First pause the sync process in Photos Preferences.
To detect the corrupted pictures I created a 'Smart Album" with the conditions: Picture is referenced. Photos found all the pictures that lost there original ' reference' file. In my case there were only three.
I looked up these pictures in my iPhoto Backup (last backup before I switched to photos). This to be certain I still have the originals.
I deleted the corrupt pictures from my Photos Library and emptied the 'recently deleted' folder. This to make sure the corrupted files we completely removed from the library (Photos app also uploads 'recently removed' pictures...).
Then I proceeded the syncing process in Photos Preferences.
After it was finished I tried if modifications I made in Photos OSX came through on my iDevices. They did on my iPad, but not on my iPhone. So I turned off iCloud Photos on my iPhone (preferences). And after all pictures were removed I rebooted my iPhone and turned iCloud Photos back on. Then all Devices were in sync!
Finally I exported the pictures that were corrupted from my iPhoto backup and imported them into Photos.

Lost photo library after syncing atv

i seem to have lost my iphoto library after syncing it to atv...after syncing, a "choose library" tab pops up with folders not related to my library...is this possible? or could i have deleted them accidentally?

sounds like your iphoto library is not in you pictures folder - spotlight iPhoto Library and see where it is
Once you find it quit iPhoto and restart with the option (alt) key depressed and use the select library option and point to its location

ICloud Photo Library stopped syncing?

I recently updated my Macbook to the new version of Yosemite with the new photos software, however it's not letting me import more photos due to the fact it's still syncing.
When i looked, it said I have 15,310 photos to be synced! Which I don't have that many photo's at all!
So I decided to use the 'Pause of one day' option and then it tells me this
How do I fix this? it's been stuck on 5,000 images for hours
Thanks.

Photo Library Not Syncing in iOS 4.1

Hi,
Ever since I installed iOS4.0/4.01/4.1, I lost the ability to sync my photos on the computer (MAC running OS 10.6.4 with iTunes 10) with my iPhone 3GS.
I used to be able to do so in 3.1.3.
Anyone having the same problem? Any solution?
Thanks,

I was having this same issue with +iOS 4.1+, but using an older +PPC Mac+ running +Tiger 10.4.11+. My iTunes version is 9.2 and it exhibits the same behavior.
It seems that the iTunes interface for syncing photos is a *red herring*.
Look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Apple seems to now want to force us into using iPhoto for accessing photos on the iPhone, iPad, and +iPod Touch+...

How to sync photos in photos library to iphone?

Before the recent update, I used to be able to choose to sync my photos in iPhotos library to my phone. (I would always carry photos taken in the past 6months on my phone.) But now I can't choose iPhotos Library/Photos Library to sync. I never keep so many photos in my camera role because I like to download them onto my mac and delete them from my phone. So I used to sync iPhoto events to my phone. Do I need to subscribe to iCloud photo sharing now...? I'm really confused.

I had the same issue. My photo library is on an external hard drive. Here's how I fixed it:*
     1. Quit iTunes.
     2. Open Photos. Got to Preferences and make sure you click the 'Use as system photo library' button.
     3. Quit Photos.
     4. Open iTunes - you should now be able to select 'Photos' as your source.
Hope this works for you!
* I sync the last years worth of photos but it seems a little buggy to me - lots of erroneous images and wrong date ordering. I guess they'll fix that eventually!

If I install a trial version of Aperture and don't like it, will I be able to still use my photo library in iPhoto?

I'm evaluating both Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom to decide which one meets my needs for the best price (got a deal on Lightroom 3 for $120 and I know Aperture 3 is $79 in the Mac App Store).
I have a few questions:
I currently use iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) and have Photoshop CS4, so I have tools for importing DSLR shots and making pro-type changes in Camera Raw, while also having iPhoto to organize my photo library and syncing Events and Albums with my iPhone and iPad.
I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
I'm considering Lightroom because I have been disappointed with the number of bugs showing up in recent iPhoto releases. I'm a bit weary of buying another photo management software product from Apple. iPhoto '11 crashed my old iMac very frequently (I wound up upgrading to a new iMac due to this and I was expecting to run out of hard drive space in a year or two anyway).
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
If iPhoto management is this unstable, I would like to consider choosing a new method of organizing and syncing to iOS devices and abandoning the iPhoto library method.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?

The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.

Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.

Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

ICloud Photo Library & Family Sharing

Hi there,
is there a way to share the "iCloud Photo Library" with Family Sharing ?
Since iOS 8 do not allow to use "Share my location" on multiple devices a.k.a. "Find my Friends" (Me & my wife use one iOs account) I have to use two accounts with Family Sharing. But now the "My Photostream" is gone on my wife's device as expected.... So can I have this with "iCloud Photo Library" ?
For me it makes no sense that I have all photos and my wife don't...
Sven

Each family member has their own Apple ID, but uses the main one for purchases. It seems to make sense that each AppleID could have its own Photos library, but I can't find anything in the support area that says this to be the case definitively. I want each family member to have their own Photos library that syncs between their iPhone and their ID. I hope that's how it works.
