Photo Sharing on iPad

Hi,
I am using Music and Video Sharing on iPad from our iMac iTunes Library.
Is it possible to do same for Photos ... without copying the photos on the iPad? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Restarting or resetting the iPad does not delete the shared albums in iCloud (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559).

Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup. You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Youre trying to delete photos from someone else's shared photostream. You can only delete photos that belong to you.

How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

Hello there, missjanellez.
The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
Do any of the following:
To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

HT202786 Shared photos appear on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac

Hi Everyone:
I have several albums I share via iCloud. They appear on both my iPhone and iPad, but do not appear in iPhoto on my Mac. The album titles appear, but the photos do not have. Below are screenshots.
All devices are using the same iCloud account. I have tried turning iCloud Photo Sharing on and off in both System Preferences and iPhoto, but that is not working.
iPad:
iOS 8.1
Mac
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012)

You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/ to the Desktop.
This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
Remove the folder and restart the Mac. It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.

Sharing a photo album in ipad with iphotos on mac

i arranged a series of photos on my Ipad into an "album". I would now like to have that show up in Iphoto on my macbook, to build and order a hard-copy book, not a digital book. How can I get the album from my Ipad to Iphoto on the macbook?

Backing up with iCloud would not backup synced photos anyway. iCloud only works photos that you take with the iPad.
There are third party WiFi apps that will allow you to transfer the photos back to the Mac. You download the app to both devices and then you can send photos and videos to and from each device.
I use this one. There are others available in the App Store.

HT201317 I've noticed two things that my ipad no longer does, if save an image from graphic art on the internet, it used to save them to photostream, it no longer does, and with all the settings on my photos no longer shared between ipad and pc, like it u

I've noticed two things my Ipad no longer does, If I save an image from an internet graphic file - facebook or whatever, the photo used to be saved to photostream... it no longer saves it to anywhere. Also having made sure all the boxes are ticked with photostream and ICloud and not knowingly changed anything, photos take with Ipad/photostream no longer end up in icloud and available to other machines eg. windows pc. Anyone got any suggestions?

To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

How to export photos from an ipad to a mac computer

I have an iPad Retina on which I took approximately 350 screen grabs for my work.
(The screen grabs were made on the iPad with the home and lock buttons pressed together, I use them for app reports).
These screen grabs didn't go into the Photos folder called "Albums" when I saved them, but instead they were saved into a folder called "Photos" (in which are three sorting options, called "Years", "Collections" and "Moments").
I now need to put all these photos into a folder on my iMac and then delete them to clear up a working session.
But if I click more than 5 of them, the "mail" option disappears, and the remaining options are "Message", "Flickr", "Copy" or "Print".
"Message" didn't work, it seems to be designed to send text messages, but I could still manage to write an email address in the "to" field, and it didn't get through.
"Flickr" didn't work at all (the "+" sign to add a new account let me to a white pop-up window, I added an account from the Settings page, sent the photos to Flickr but they never arrived on the Flickr account).
"Copy" didn't work, I thought I could afterwards paste them into an email, but no luck there, it just crashed the mail app.
...and "Print", that seems to be far away from what I'm trying to do.
Airdrop cannot work between the iMac (pre OS X10.10) and the iPad. Flickr doesn't work either, at all.
When I use third-party apps like Dropbox, Instamail or any other WiFi photos sharing/exporting app, the only photos these apps can access are the ones in the photos folder called "Albums", and not a single one of the photos from the "Photos" album.
Also, as sad as it may seem, and as I've said earlier, the third-party applications I installed such as Dropbox are not an option when I select the photos in the roll and then click on "Share", but "Flickr" is...? Both "share" buttons, the one on top and the one to the right of each date give the same very limited results.
iTunes cannot do it. This iMac doesn't have iPhoto.
I was thinking about using a software like iExplorer to manually go dig into the root folders, but surely there has to be another way?

You should be able to do it with Dropbox.

Deleted Photos from iPhone still show up in Photo Stream on iPad: iOS 6

Okay, I've done a lot of searching and can't find any solution for this. I'm on iOS 6 on all devices, so none of the iOS 5.x article / discussions apply.
I have my iPhone 5, my wife has an iPhone 4, we have an iMac, and an iPad 2. Here's the situation. We use iCloud and Photo Stream is enabled on all four devices, and all share a single Apple ID.
I have many photos (let's say 100) I've taken on my iPhone 5 over the last several months, and with Photo Stream enabled, they were automatically copied to all of my other devices. Great. Now, I'd like to delete let's say 20 of those photos. On my iPhone 5, I go to "My Photo Stream" and mark all 20 of them and delete them. I get the pop-up confirmation that they will be deleted from the Photo Stream on all my devices. Great, exactly what I want.
The photos delete from my iPhone 5, my wife's iPhone 4, and my iMac. However, they still appear on my iPad under Photos, Photo Stream, and under Events (September 2012 Photo Stream, October 2012 Photo Stream, November 2012 Photo Stream events). I can not delete them from my iPad.
I have tried:
1. Selecting each photo, there is no option to delete
2. Selecting edit, and then selecting a photo, the delete button is disabled
3. Disabling Photo Stream on my iPad, and rebooting. All photos in "My Photo Stream" on iPad are deleted, but not the photos that were sourced by other devices, they still appear under Photos, Photo Stream, and the monthly Photo Stream events
So... How do I delete these photos from my iPad?
Cheers,
Gouda

Okay, finally figured out what was going on. Positng the solution here in case it might help someone else with a similar problem.
Here's what was happening:
1. iPhone5/iPhone4/iPad/iMac all had iCloud + Photo Stream so Photos were shared
2. iMac was setup with iPhoto to automatically import and save Photo Stream photos
3. iPad was setup to wirelessly sync all albums from iPhoto
So, when photos were shared using Photo Stream to iMac, it would backup to an album in iPhoto, and sync to the iPad. Deleting the original photo on the iPhone would delete the photo from the Photo Stream on all devices, but it had already been added to a permanent album in iPhoto (e.g., "September 2012 Photo Stream"). This album was then automatically synced to the iPad. So, deleteing the photo from Photo Stream would clear it from the iPhones, but not the iPad.
To delete the photos:
1. Delete the photo from "My Photo Stream" in the source device (the device used to take the picture), this will delete it from the active Photo Stream on all devices
2. On the iMac, go into the automatically created monthly Photo Stream events, and delete the photos from there
3. In iTunes, initiate a Sync with the iPad, which will update the syncronized albums/events there, removing the photos on the iPad as well
Hope that's able to help someone in the future...
Cheers,
Gouda

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
Thanks

Have you tried to share a journal instead of a photo stream? Then you can create a webpage with your pictures and send the link to the web page, see iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Share your journal as a webpage

I have photos on my iPad (the first apple device in our household) and then added an iMac and a Macbook air to our network. We have an airport 2TB back up device. How do I get all of my photos on all devices. My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.

My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
How are the images stored on your original iPad? Are they in the camera roll, in events downloaded using the camera connection kit, or are they in albums synced to your ipad from a computer?
If the photos are in the camera roll or in events downloaded from a camera, you can transfer them to your iMac and MBA by directly connecting the iPad using USB. Then you can download the photos to iPhoto like from a camera.
Only, if your photos have been synced to the iPad from a computer, you will have to save them first to the camera roll; then you can download them by connecting the iPad via USB.
What IOS version has your iPad?
For new photos you might consider using Photo Stream to transfer your photos between the devices.

I deleted all my photos but there are still 17GB of photos on my ipad.

I synced my iPad with my mac and I imported all my photos and videos. Then I deleted all of them from my ipad. When I open the photos app there isn't a single photo there nor a video. But when I open my settings to view how much storage I have it says that there are still 17gb of photos on my ipad.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Thanks for your help!

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad and getting the phoos o my IMac. ou see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac.

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.
