Photo Stream images deleted from library!

Recently, on launch, Aperture reported that Photo Stream was not enabled (even though I had not changed settings since enabling). I (re)enabled it, but after doing so, only the most recent photos (for the past month or so) were recognized as being in the stream (even though aproximately an additional month's photos are still indicated as being in my stream on all my iOS devices — at least for the time being). More importantly (and clearly a SERIOUS BUG): all the missong photos that had already been downloaded to my Aperture library ("automatic import" is checked in preferences) were gone, not only from the library, but also deleted from all the albums (e.g. flickr, facebook) to which they had been published.
Is Photo Stream working? Automatic deletion of photos, including shared photos) seems like a big problem!

Yep, I and others have noticed it too. There's another thread here on the issue.
I am not talking about the Photstream shutting itself off issue (which IS happening for some people, but not me), but the situation wherein photos that have been automatically imported into "Oct. 2011 Photo Stream," "Nov 2011 Photo Stream," etc., disappear when their Photostream counterparts disappear. This essentially negates the entire usefulness of Photo Stream.
I have used one workaround, albeit a cumbersome one: rebuild your Aperture Library (hold down on command and option while double clicking on your Library to open Aperture). Your lost photos should show up in a "Recovered Photos" folder. I think this works because the masters that have been auto-imported from Photo Stream aren't really deleted from Aperture.
I hope Apple recognizes the problem and fixes it. There doesn't seem to be a big uproar about it, though. :-/

HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

Hi JM,
Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
Sorry....

How can I recover photos that were deleted from Iphone. Photos were streamed to icloud

How can I recover photos that were deleted from iphone. Photos were streamed to icloud.

If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

HT201317 after I have copied my photos to a folder and delete from photo stream, it deletes the ones I copied. How do I fix this?

After I copy my photos to a folder in Windows Live and delete them off photo stream, it deletes the copied photos. How do I fix this?

I know you need iTunes tosynchorinize your iPad, and i know ther is a connection kit (i searched internet before posting this question).
The point is:
We are on vacation. the iPad is my fathers. We have here only his iPad and my laptop. We wanted to put foto's we made with a digital camera foto's on the iPad, so i connected the iPad to my laptop, and was able to copy the foto's to the iPad. So they are on the iPad, but they cannot be viewed. Since I do not want to instll software on my laptop I do not need my self, and we see no point in buyin a connection kit for one time use, it would be great if you could just copy foto's to the iPad and then view them.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how to do this. I am not used to working with tablets.so I am used to thinking "PC wise": youo copy files to a location on your computer and then you use a program to open those files. I know it works differently on an iPad, but it woul be great if this was one option that also would be available.

IPhoto 08 - Loosing photos, iPhoto automatically deletes from hard drive!

Hi,
I am using iPhoto 08 v 7.1.5 on Max OS X 10.6.4
We are 2 users sharing the same iPhoto library and after ongoing issues with permissions I have moved the iPhoto library (as per Apple's instructions) to a Sparse Disk Image on the Shared folder and changed the permissions for all to rear&write - then copied the library to this Disk Image and pointed all iPhoto libraries there.
Worked well until we started to import photos from a camera. From my profile it imported the photos, but then when copying them to the library come up with an error 'File is corrupt'. I started iPhoto in shift&option mode and repaired permissions. This fixed it and I could import.
The other user imported photos yesterday from their profile. No errors on import and the photos were property loaded into the library. I did check the library AND the files in the Finder - all was well. 2 hours later, ALL FILES HAD GONE!!! There were no trace of the files. Not in the trash (iPhoto or System) - I searched the whole drive, GONE!!!
I am a bit freaked, if iPhoto is going to delete files permanently from the drive its NOT good. The photos were already deleted from the camera so they are gone for good.
Has anyone experienced the same or got an explanation??
Appreciate any help with this!
Cheers
Chris

I've seen this mentioned on here a couple of times. Tracing it with these other users what seems to occur is that iPhoto imports the photos to the database but fails to copy the actual files into the Originals folder.
I'm not sure why this happens.
If you haven't used the camera since you can recover the files from the card with an app like MediaRecover

Photo Stream import directly into Library (consolidated)?

I have just started using Photo Stream with Aperture and it's a wonderful feature, however something prompted me to look for the original photo and I couldn't see the usual "Open in Finder" option, which said to me it was Consolodated. Now, I don't mind, because I Consolidate my Library anyway, but was wondering if this actually happened.
It seems that the guide here is a little out of date now as Adjustments can be performed on the streamed photos without "importing" them, however that's achieved?
ref: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/11/06/deep-dive-aperture-and-photo-stream-how-do-they-w ork/
I was able to export the photo, as one normally would with a Consolidated Library, but I am wondering if that was from an online supposerty or not?
Anyway, if the Photos are Consolidated then that is yet another step taken care of and I am certainly greatful for that, not least because all iOS devices capture GPS info too, things just get better!
If someone can clear this up for me that would be great, thanks.

The confusion is due to your use of Photo Stream image : When you (auto)-import from the Photo Stream you have two different image versions - the Photo Stream copy of the image and the imported image, that is no longer in the stream. And as Frank Caggiano says, you can only edit the imported image version in your Aperture library, not the Photo Stream image. Trying to edit a Photo Stream image will result in this message - at least, that is what I see in my library:
"This photo is in Photo Stream and cannot be edited. You may edit the last imported version in your library."
A photo Stream image is not part of the Aperture library - it can only be browsed using Aperture.
To convince yourself, that the imported image is truely managed and not referenced, select the monthly imported project and set a filter in the search field with the rule: "File status is managed".
All images in the project should still be showing and not be removed by the filter.
Frank Caggiano I think you're confused. The images are in the Stream, they are always there, but they appear (as in William Lloyd's photo example) in Aperture, yes I do have them set to be imported, but they very well couldn't be seen within Aperture unless I did so.
It is still not clear from your post, where you are trying to view the Photo images:
In the "Web > Photo Stream" section of the library inspector, where the Photo Stream can be viewed,
Or in the "Projects" section, where you can browse the images that have been imported to Aperture.
Are you saying, that the "Web > Photo Stream" section of the Library Inspector did not show your Photo Stream images, until you enabled automatic import?

HT201317 Cant get Camera Roll or Photo Stream images off my iphone 4

Cant get Camera Roll or Photo Stream images off my iphone 4. Ive got everything turned on to support the icloud function and my itunes shows syncing, but nothing. Any ideas what Im missing? Thanks A Million!

You can delete them from your phone by opening the album that contains them, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, the tap Delete. You can also import camera roll photos to your computer and delete them after importing as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Can I delete the folder in the vault drive called "images deleted from Aperture Lib" ?

I am reorganizing and separting my main Aperture library into smaller libs...in my vault drive there is a folder (always been there) that is called "images deleted from Aperture library"...it contains the images I deleted after emptying the Aperture trash. It is large (200Gig) and I want to delete it in finder (put in the trash then delete it...is this a safe practice? Thanks...Steve

Yes.
When you delete photos from Aperture that are in a vault, the next time you update the vault, the images from the vault will be moved to that folder. You can delete it as you see fit... it's your last and final chance to decide if you didn't want to delete a file

Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6

Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6 even after i remove them from itunes. plus it shows as others in the storage. how to remove the albums ? i removed them from the itunes linked folders though it still shows on the iphone !!!

If they were placed on the phone using iTunes sync, the following from iTunes: Syncing photos has instructions on how to remove them. If that doesn't work it is usually because they were added from another computer. Many have reported success by first adding one or two new photos to the phone via iTunes sync using the instructions in the above link and then syncing again using the delete instructions below.
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.

Deleting from library does not delete from hard drive????

itunes support states when deleting from library, it should prompt to remove from hard drive. i am not getting this prompt. i cannot find a setting that changes this either. please advise
thanks,

It only deletes it from the hard drive if it is in the iTunes Music folder path;
Look at your itunes menu > Edit > Preferences >Advanced tab.
"itunes music folder location"
For example, say it is set to C:/Music. If you delete a file from the itunes library list that exists in C:/Music you'll get asked if you want to keep or delete the file.
If you delete a file from the itunes library lists that exists in C:/SomeOtherFolder, it will not get deleted from the hard drive.

Still can not get songs to delete from library.....

I have read through the forums..made sure to try every option available..still I can not get songs to delete from library. Help!!

I am assuming you have tried all the obvious ones, delete key, right-click -> delete, Edit -> Delete, etc. Are you getting an error message when you try to delete? Are you just trying to delete from the library or delete the file as well?

Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they?

Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they? Cannot find on pc or iTunes.

X2 on King_Penguin's reply, however, those files are hidden by default. I'm on Windows 7. You'd click on your "Start", click on "Computer", click on "Organize" up on the top of the window and click on "Folders and Search Options". Check off the "Show all Folders" under Navigation pane. That will show all the hidden files. Then you can follow the directions King wrote above. Sorry, if you have a Mac, I don't know how to help you navigate to where the "Folders and Search Options" is. Google should be a good resource.
It's pretty simple once you find it. I was moving my back up file from my lap top to my desk top because I wanted to begin syncing my ipad and iphone to my desk top. Once I unhid the files, I copied it to a thumb drive, uploaded it to my desk top and voila. Just make sure when you are done you check the box to hide the files again. You don't want to leave them vulnerable.
Hope this helps.

Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.
