Photo Stream: Can you put them in folder via PC?

I have some photos on my laptop I want to put on my iPad.
I've kinda only just figured out that Photo Stream stores everything that's taken on the iPad. And amazingly, when I delete it via the Photo Stream folder on my laptop, I see it disappear on the device.
Very clever.
However, can I copy files from PC to Photo Stream and view them on the iPad? It shows them in my Photo Stream folder via PC, but doesn't show on the iPad. Or does it take a while to "update"?
I use DropBox which I know is similar, but Photo Stream doing this would be a little slicker.
Do I see what storage I am using on Photo Stream via my iPad?

It can take a minute or so for the photos to appear but I never tried uploading a lot of photos at once. In any event it should not take that long for the photos to show up on the iPad and unless your WiFi connection is very slow for upload speeds.
If you move a photo to the photo stream folder on the PC it should appear in the iPad photo stream album in the photos app. Once the photos appear in the photo stream you can save them to the camera roll on the iPad and they will not disappear from the device if you remove them from the photo stream.
Photo Stream will delete a photo from all devices of you delete it on any device. Photos stream keeps those photos in sync.
maybe this will help.

This might help you as well.

You do know that you can sync photos to the iPad with iTunes - correct? And that you can sync over WiFi as well if that's important to you.

HT201317 if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices. You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space. However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently). If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space. If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.

I deleted some photos off of my iphone and I lost them off of my computer too I was in photo stream Can I get them back? They were pictures of my newest grandson...over 200 photos!

Hi..I need help. I downloaded my photos off my iphone4S and put them on my mac. I then deleted them off my phone and it also deleted them off my mac. I am a grandmother and the photos (around 250) were of my newest grandson from the day he was born until his first month. I was with them all that time. I have since return hom some 1000 miles away and noew i lost all these photos.. Is there anyway I can retrieve them? I believe photo stream had something to do with it. My daughter will be so disappointed in me and I can't get them back. Thank you!

Apparently they were backed up the day before this happened but I don't know how to get this back. I am new to all this technology...what would you suggest I do next?

Lost photos on photo stream can I retrieve them

Could somebody please help me? I have deleted some pictures off photo stream on my I phone and thought (stupidly) they would stay on my iPad, they are precious photos and I'm really hope I can retrieve them. Does anybody know if I can?
Thank you

If you have not transferred these photos to your computer or saved them to the camera roll on another device, then they are gone.
Photostream is not a permanent storage place and actions you take on one device are synced to others.

I downloaded my photos to my laptop, and deleted the photos from my phone. If I want the pictures on my phone later on, can I put them back onto my phone?

I downloaded my photos on my laptop so I have them, I need to delete some of my photos for storage on my iPhone 4. If I want some of the photos that I have on my laptop, can I put them back onto my iPhone later on?

Yes you can.
(but if you do, also keep a copy on your computer)
One way is via iTunes: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
Another way is via a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com
Or via Photo Stream My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
or iCloud Photos: https://www.apple.com/icloud/photos/

HT201317 If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

Can you create a new folder and put several documents in it in Adobe?

Can you create a new folder and put several documents in it in Adobe?

Thank you for your help. Now I just want to expand on this a bit. To use the Applescript you have supplied me, how do I tell it to name the folder other than by date, and where to put it?
Let me say, preferably, is it possible to make an action like this right-clickable? Instead of having to pick a script. Anything that slows this process down means I might as well do it all by hand. What I'd really love to do is this:
Select a number of items. Right click to an action saying "create a new folder and put this items in it. Name the folder with the first item's name". Very simple and quick.
Could this be accomplished? Through Automator? or something that can appear in the contextual menu? Folder actions?
I'm just getting started with using these tools.

Updates all the photos (cameraroll) in iCloud or is it just photo stream when you sync? I have 5000 photos in the camera but only 800 in the stream and I would like to save them all. How to do?

Plug your iPhone into your Mac and open iPhoto. Transfer the photos from the phone to your Mac.

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.

I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives. Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location. Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want. Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing. Then quit and restart itunes. If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not. If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)). Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

HT201077 i went to apple store because my iphone wasnt working. The guy there said he had to restore settings but i wouldnt loose my pictures in photo stream. my pictures havent appeared yet in my photo stream.Did i loose them

I went in ti the apple store my phone wasn't working correctly. the guy said he had to reset and update phone. I asked about my pictures and he said if they were in photo stream i wouldnt loose them. they still havent appeared to my phone im worried are the pictures going to appear again.

Photos remain in icloud's stream servers for a max of 30 days. If they are older than that, then they are gone.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

TS3989 help with photo stream not making it to pc folder.. uploads a no no also..???

the photos from My I phone photo stream,do not appear in the folder i assigned it to be in. Also when i put photos in my upload folder, they do not make it to my photo stream on m y iphone ??? ive tried everything with the help ??

No, I certainly am not saying it's a feature; just a widely discussed issue that as far as I know has no current solution. I was only sharing this so you were aware that you weren't alone in having this problem, and that it may not be solvable at the current time. If you search the forums perhaps you'll find a solution I'm not aware of.

Retrieving all values from hashmap in order you put them in

Hi guys,
I want to retrieve all values from a HashMap in the order I put them in.
So I can't use the values() method that gives back a collection and iterate over that.
Do you guys know a good way to do that ?

You can just do something like this:
class OrderedMap
    private final Map m_rep = new HashMap();
    private final List m_keys = new ArrayList();
    public Object get( final Object key )
        return m_rep.get( key );
    public Object put( final Object key, final Object value )
        final Object result = m_rep.put( key, value );
        if ( result != null )
            m_keys.add( key );
        return result;
    public Object remove( final Object key )
        final Object result = m_rep.remove( key );
        if ( result != null )
            m_keys.add( key );
        return result;
    public Iterator keyIterator()
        return m_rep.iterator();
}Then use it like this:
   for ( Iterator it = map.keyIterator(); it.hasNext(); )
       final Object value = map.get( it.next() );
   }This will be in the order you put them in. However, if you want to do this correctly, you should implement the Map interface and add all the methods. Another thing you can do is download the JDK 1.4 source, learn how they did and do it the same way for 1.2.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.
