Photo Stream missing from library
Photo stream used to be in my iPhoto library, but has disappeared. I can no longer see Photo Stream on my Mac, but I still see it on my iPhone. Everything is checked that should be, what could be the problem?
I was able to solve this after a call to Apple support. They had me go to the system preferences and then to iCloud. I unchecked and then re-checked the photo stream dialog box. I double clicked on the "recent" in theleft hand pane of my iPhoto and it showed right up. I hope this will help anyone who had a similar problem.

Photo stream after iPhoto Library Move
OK, so I have moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive (had to clear up space on my MBP).
I now want to open iPhoto & generate a new library. My intention is to use this going forwards. I will not be regularly attaching the hard drive with the old Library, this will effectively just be archived & used as necessary
My question relates to photo stream. I start iPhoto & set up my new Library, I then choose to turn on photo stream. I am warned that turning on photo stream for this library will turn it off for my old library.
I just need to make sure I don't lose anything on this process. In other words, by turning off photos tram in the old library, I am assuming that it freezes things 'as was'.
If by turning off photo stream to the new library I am going to lose stuff, I would like to now beforehand,
Can anyone advise?I just need to make sure I don't lose anything on this process. In other words, by turning off photos tram in the old library, I am assuming that it freezes things 'as was'.
Only one iPhoto Library or Aperture library can use photo stream at at a time. If you enable Photo Stream for a new library, all automatic imports will go to this new library, and you can only share photos from this new library. But no photos will be deleted from the old library. The transit should be seamless, -

All my old photos are missing from iPhoto on my Mac- any one have ideas on how to retrieve?
Do you have a Time Machine backup or any backup of your Mac? Then you could try to restore from the backup.
If your photos are very important documents, you could also try data recovery software. Usually the trial versions are free, but if you want to safe the recovery photos you have to pay. Disk Drill works well to recover jPEG photos, see: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
It is still not obvious what might have happened to your iPhoto Library. Have you searched for different iPhoto Libraries?
You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search.
I learned this from Old Toad , see his post here:
Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of iPhoto libraries.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it. -
I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about?
You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?
And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

Files missing from library after archive and install
Hi forum folk
any help you could give would be much appreciated.
I can't seem to verify my permissions on HD. I have run disk utility both from finder and from my OSX startup disk and consistently get the error message "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue." I then reinstalled the operating system all together making sure to archive and install as well as archive previous network and preference settings. This means I am running 10.3.4 at the moment (and I can't verify any of the software updates at the moment). After reinstalling I still cannot verify my permissions, so now I am trying to back up all my files so that I can reinstall the OSX again, erase everything, and start from scratch. But I'm running into some very strange problems while doing this. select files are missing from ~/library. there is no Safari file, for example. I tried looking in HD/previous systems/library where my library files were saved before I reinstalled the operating system but there is no such folder in there either. this means all of my bookmarks are gone. additionally, under library/preferences (in both the old and new library folders) there is no file named com.apple.itunes.plst. so all of my itunes playlists are gone as well. these are the only missing files I have found thus far and i can't explain why they selectively would not have been saved after the archive and install. Everything else seems to be intact. Any ideas?
thanks

powerbookG4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) running 10.3.4 at the moment - can't verify permissions on 10.3.9jbeep:
my HD has a capacity of 8.85 GB available. When I reinstalled panther I had little more than 3 GB available (I deleted a bunch of unneeded things since then)
Thanks for this update. What is the total formatted capacity of your HDD? I ask because I suspected that you might be cutting it pretty close. The rule of thumb is that you should have 10-15% of your total capacity available as free space. My personal rule is 15%-20%. This allows for more efficient perfomrance of OS X.
I am in the process of backing up everything on my seagate combo USB 2.0/firewire 200 GB external (I am using the firewire cord)
Having an up-to-date backup is one of the primary rules, often observed more in the breach than not. Since you have an HDD that supports Firewire, I suggest that you make a bootable clone of your entire HDD using SuperDuper. You can then use this backup as an emergency boot drive. However, it must be Firewire, as PPC Macs don't boot from USB devices.
I also have heard that it is advisable to reinstall the OS "every now and again" and I hadn't done this for at least two years. was I ill-advised?
Most experienced Mac users never re-install, except under dire circumstances. Since installing my new HDD in this computer I have never re-installed. Re-installation is the utlimate intrusive measure, and it exposes one to all kinds of issues, from lost data, to flawed installaton, to installations that fail midstream. Re-installation is not an effective maintenace procedure. Here are some helpful links in terms of maintenance:
Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance
Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
Maintaining OS X.
I'm going to restart now and try and verify my permissions again using the procedure on the above link. I'll let you know what happens.
Instead of verifying permissions, just go ahead and Repair Disk Permissions. Verifying permissions does nothing, and wastes your time, as it is difficult to tell whether you need to repair, and you have to repair anyway.
Do post back with an update of your progress and any further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Photos on photo stream not in library after import from memory card

I recently imported pictures from my camera to iphoto. I also synced my ipad. In less than 24 hours my photos are now missing from iphoto even after trying to sync my ipad again. These pictures are from a very special occasion and I did not even get time to edit. Someone help please
-Background-
My issue, which I resolved and may help you was the following:
I have an IPAD 3. I took over 5 GB of pictures on a third party camera. The car was full so I imported those pictures to my IPAD 3 and deleted them from the SD card. While on IOS 5.x, the photos on the IPAD were there under last imported.
Over the last few days, I upgraded to IOS 6. No issues.
Then, my family wanted to see the pictures from the trip. I went to the IPAD and could not find the photos. It listed 40 photos only. The last imported was there, but listed as empty. When I went into the settings>usage, it listed 5GB + of photos in the photos area. I was confused. I plugged my IPAD into ITUNES, first thinking I would get a backup asap (icloud was full after importing the photos). Then I though I would downgrade to IOS 5.
Also, itunes listed that I had 40 photos only, but 5GB of OTHER data. I was convinced the data was not lost. When I tried to browse the IPAD 3 using windows browser, the photos where NOT in the DCIM folder, so I was not able to simply "FIND" the photos and copy them to my PC.
-SOLUTION-
I downloaded third party software onto my PC called "http://www.i-funbox.com/" I fun box. I had no idea if this would work, but other forums with other issues called out similar products for iphone issues.
When I installed the program, which was free, and so far free of malware, I started to explore my IPAD file system.I found my photos, under IPAD>RAW file system>DCIM>100IMPRT.
-ROOT CAUSE-
I suspect when I upgraded to IOS 6, apple fails to register the IMPORT folder of photos as such, photos. So the file system in IOS looses sight of what is inside the last imported folder. Essentially removing them from applications such as "Photos". Why windows does not seem them, is beyond me. But the program I found did see them in raw format, and I was able to COPY them to my PC. Then I deleted them from the IPAD, because I had no other way of managing this folder in IPAD, and it was using a lot of space. -
Import video from photo stream to iPhoto library
Hello, I'm trying to import a video from a friend's photo stream ( which I've subscribed to ) into iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. The video doesn't show up in iPhoto shared , but the photo stream does as well as photos in the stream. I've checked other photo streams with videos and I am able to import those.
The particular video I'm after is about 2 minutes long, was taken on a friends iPhone 4. I'm able to see the video by subscribing my iPhone 5 to the photo stream, so I don't understand why it's not showing up in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro.
Should I have my friend re-send the video to her photo stream ? Any other ideas ?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.
That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album. -
Photo Stream permanent master library Windows 8 PC
Up until recently I have been able to take pictures with an iOS device and have it sync to my photostream, then to a folder on my Windows PC. Once in my Windows folder the photo would stay there forever. Deleting the photo from iOS Photo Stream would not delete the photo from my Windows PC. Deleting the photo from my Windows PC would not delete the photo from iOS Photo Stream.
Very recently the Photo Stream folder on my Windows PC has been deleting copies as I delete them from my iOS Photo Stream. On the apple website it says:
"Master photo library. On your Mac or PC.
Keeping a complete set of your photos on your Mac is as simple as turning on Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture. Every new photo you take appears in a Photo Stream album just as it does on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. But since your Mac has more storage than your iOS device, it automatically imports every picture from your Photo Stream into your photo library so you can edit, delete, and share the ones you want. Want to get the photos you’ve taken on your point-and-shoot or DSLR camera into your Photo Stream to view on all your other devices? The photos you import to your library from a camera or SD card are automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream. If you have a PC, you can auto-import and upload pictures, too. Just turn on Photo Stream, grab a camera, and start shooting."
How can I set up Photo Stream to PERMANENTLY save every photo taken with my iOS devices on my Windows PC FOREVER AUTOMATICALLY like it used to last week?
I want to be able to delete photos from Photo Stream to free up space on my iOS device and know that the photos won't delete from my Windows PC. I could do this literally last week.
Any way to do this?[b]Fixed it, had to delete the folder where the My Photo Stream was. I just created a backup of it and then deleted it, let iCloud re populate the folders and it came back.[/b]

Aperture 3.5 projects: Some are missing from Library listing
I use Aperture 3.5.1 with OS 10.9.2, and I have studied the various pages of Aperture manuals, and read quite a few Questions, and I think I understand the difference between projects and albums and between managed and referenced files. But I am puzzled about a few project locations.
To the left of the Aperture display window is a vertical pane about 2 inches wide, with tabs labeled "Library, Info, Adjustments."
In that left-hand pane of the window, under the tab “Library” is a heading “APERETURE LIBRARY-MASTER” and under that is the icon of “Projects”. When I select this, the right hand portion of the full window shows thumbnails representing of all my projects. These are organized by year and for each year, by date. This is the organization that Aperture did when I imported the photos, mostly from cameras. Fine.
In that left hand pan, under the Library tab, further down, there is a heading “PROJECTS”. It shows a list of folders and albums and projects.
I see that in this library there are folders marked 2011 and 2012. In each of those there are folders for the months. In 2012 these include “May”, “Jun UK", "Jun US", “Jul" and others. When I select any of these the associated thumbnails are all visible in the main display window to the right.
In the 2012 > Jun UK folder are 5 projects, with dated names such as "Jun 06, 2012 Chicheley". The word “Chicheley” and “UK" I added, but the rest of the structure 2012 > Jun was created by Aperture when I imported the photos.
However, and here is what puzzles me. In the thumbnail display to the right, of several hundred projects, there are 15 contiguous projects, all from June 2012, that are not listed in the library panel of projects in the Library tab pane at the left.
I can look at the “info” tab and see what the “Project Path” is for any photo. To judge by the badges, All of my photos are managed, not referenced. Indeed, I cannot find any photos in my Aperture library that are referenced.
The projects that show up in the Library listing at the left pane have Project paths that start with a year, for example
2012 > Jun UK > Jun 06, 2012
The projects that do not show up in the Library listing have names such as
Jun UK Chicheley > Jun 05, 2012 Aston
At the top of the Library pane is a search box. It finds Jun 06 but not Jun 05.
I have looked inside the Aperture Library package and I see the organization there for the projects that show up in the library listing. But that is missing the days that are not in the listing — it is missing the projects that show up in the main window but not in the Library list..
Those thumbnailed of the missing projects are of photos that are not referenced, I have used the main menu at the top of the screen to check that.
I can edit all the photos, wherever they may be. No problem. But why do all the projects not show up in the library listing? Where are they?
I have used EasyFind to search for a folder “Jun UK Chicheley”, allowing search in packages, but did not find it. Same problem with any of the other 15 projects that show up in PROJECTS on the right, but not in the Library listing on the left.
I may have imported the missing projects not from the camera but from a travel Aperture library, using the import library option.
Maybe I should select all of these photos and then do a “Consolidate”. I have read about this, in the Manual and in the Suppport questions, but it is not clear whether that will do what I want. I see that Consolidate is something I can do for any of my photos, not just for those that are not shown in the library. So what happens with Consolidate of a photo that is already in the listing of projects? Should I choose “copy” or “move”? If I choose “move” then what happens to whatever collection these came from?
“Show in Project” and “Show in Finder” seem to be unavailable for all of my photos.
I will appreciate help.What you're seeing when you try to view the original file is the warning that iPhoto had broken the file path/link to the orignal file. Try this: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library

Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option

How do I delete a 2 photo stream folder from my Iphone 4 device
I followe the instructions on resetting my photo stream. It deleted all the pics from one Photo Stream Folder but not the other. I dont even know how I got 2 photo stream folders. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the pics in the second folder and or how to completely delete the 2nd photo stream folder. Please help.... Thanks all...
Depends on which photos.
Camera Roll pics ( taken with the iphone) can be deleted one at a time from the iphone, or when you import them to your computer as with any digital camera.
Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are deleted the sam way - the sync process. Open itunes, select what you want on your iphone, sync.
