Photo Stream: are shared album pics on my ipad hard drive???

My son has shared many pics in albums with ms using Photo Stream.
Are these pics on my iPads hard drive?? Taking up space?
thx

It's been a while since your post, but if you haven't gotten the issue fixed, you could try a restore from within itunes on your computer. This will replace the OS on the ipad and since the photo app is included in that, it may fix your problem.

  • After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible.  You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom.  The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
    It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan.  Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system.  I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

  • How can I back-up my photos that are in my iPhoto to an external hard drive without using the iPhoto structure.

    I am attempting to back-up my entire MacBook Pro on an external hard drive before deleting everything from the MacBook Pro. Although I appreciate iPhotos photo structure and organization, I would prefer to back my photos up outside of the iPhotos structure, using “regular files” such as it appears in iPhoto’s “Masters” folder.  However, I would like the Event names that are currently assigned to my iPhotos to remain attached to the photos.  Is there a simple way to do any of this? Would this be a matter of somehow exporting each Event from my iPhoto? THANKS!

    Stay away from the Masters folder. Rooting around in the Library package can damage the Library and is unnecessary and less useful than the supported way to so this.
    Just export the them: File -> Export:

    Remember that the Masters won't contain any of the changes that you made, only the files exactly as copied from the camera.
    Thanks, Terence.  As far as filenames go...does "Album Name and Number" work for keeping my Events together?

    Surely you meant "just import the photo"?  The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

  • How to save Shared photo stream as an album?

    I would like to be able to save the photos i shared to my photo stream as album. I already managed my photos on my iphone and sent to my photo stream as an album but I also would like to have them as albums as well on my iPhoto without reorganizing again. Is it possible? Thanks.

    Yes. First they would have to be saved to an Event in the iPhoto Library. Then you can create an album for them.
    Do you have iPhoto setup to automatically import Photo Stream photos into the library?
    If you do they will already be in your library.

  • My ipad 2 under photos/ photo stream put all my pics in one folder. Now when I pull up photo stream I have to tap pic and then it opens all my pics. It use to not do that.

    Ipad 2 now puts my pics under photo stream in one folder s when I open it up I have to tap the folder to open all my pics. It use to not do that?

    Hello Patrick1000,
    This is expected behavior when you have "Shared Photo Streams" turned on. With Shared Photo Streams, you are able to create separate Photo Streams to share with others (notice the "+" at top left corner). If you wish to disabled this feature, please see below:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn off My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
    Thanks,

    Always nice for Apple to add stuff lie this with no warning
    Just tried it here from and am getting the same message. I imagine that the applications will need to be updated for them to be able to make use of this new capability.
    Hopefully Apple will have something to say on this in the next few days.

    We are in for some more surprises. Shared Photo Streams are now working both ways.
    When you share your stream with somebody, make sure the person will not flood your Photo Stream with embarrasing photos.
    I remember - in Mobile Me times, I once allowed some students to upload their photos of our expedition to a shared photo album on my Mobile Me site. Within an hour a student had exhausted the quota by dumping the complete contents of the SD card into my Mobile Me album.
    From the IOS ipad user guide:  http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.
    Note, that the manual only says "Friends ..... view photos", not videos.
    Sharing videos requires IOS 7, I think. Viewing photos and videos should work with Mt. Lion, however.
    We'll see, when the next iPhoto/Aperture update will be released

  • HT201317 why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    sarah

    and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • Some iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream are black

    I'm seeing a whole bunch of iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream as black images in latest iPhoto '11.  When I look at the original file in finder, it is intact, however the modified one is just a black image (which is what shows up in iPhoto).
    This is very concerning.  I'm now manually re-importing all my 4S photos.
    Strangely, the same photos that appear black in iPhoto Photo Stream are fine on my iPad and iPhone Photo Stream view.
    So it seems that iPhoto is breaking them when it imports them.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Hi,   My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC

    Hi,
    My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
    When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos.  That option is ghosted.  I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  All help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.
