Photo Stream Uploading my Entire Library

Just installed Aperture looked around and before I knew what was going on Aperture went on its merry business trying to upload over 40 GB worth of pictures (many not even recent). I caught it after only a few HUNDRED images were clogged up in my photo stream.
Even if I disable automatic upload it still seems to want to finish the upload of the whole library it started, how do I fix this?
How do I get all these pictures from the early 2000s that were on my Mac out of my photo stream?

Photo Stream can only hold 1000 most recently added pictures, so it will not upload your whole library, unless these are less than 1000 images.
Even if I disable automatic upload it still seems to want to finish the upload of the whole library it started, how do I fix this?
This is unusual - disabling automatic upload should stop it. Try to open the "Activity" Viewer -
Window -> Show Activity
Here you can delete pending processes.
How do I get all these pictures from the early 2000s that were on my Mac out of my photo stream?
They will vanish on their own, after adding further 1000 images
You can delete them from the Photo Stream by selecting the "Photos Stream" in Aperture, then selecting the images you added, ctrl-click the selection and choose "Delete from Photo Stream" from the pop-up menu.
If you sync other devices with Photo Stream you may need to repeat this procedure on the other devices.

TS3989 Photo stream upload issues

I have had battery issues with my iphone 4s and as a result took it to genious bar. My iphone was wiped and resotred as a new device.
my phone was restored from icloud where i had approx 200 photos in photo stream. however only 9 photos from my photo stream uploaded back onto my iphone.
can anyone assist on how to retrieve these photograph.
thanks

You will have to Pardon my ignorance. I am a relative beginner to this.
The staff member at the genius bar checked my phone and he said the photograph that where on my photo stream prior to doing the restore would automatically upload on to my iPhone when I restore my settings from iCloud. However only 9 photos done this and there other 100 odd photos didn't.
I am confused!

Hello!, I´m new using apple products. I added som pics to My Photo Stream/Uploads on Windows and only appear on Apple TV. I want to see them also in my iPad and iPhone. What I need to do?

Set up the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, then turn photo stream to On.

Does iCloud photo stream upload photos via 3G

I really don't know ios photo stream upload photo only wifi or wifi and 3G.

Only Wi-Fi.

When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, but it won't let me import my pictures. And when I want to close iPhoto it says "Photos being uploaded to iPhoto library, please wait to finish uploading," but I am not uploading anything.

When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, however it won't upload. The "import" button, I can't click on it. It won't upload. And when I want to close out the window of iPhoto, it won't close, I get a message saying "photos being uploaded to iPhoto library," but i can't even upload. This has been like this since late April...

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

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?

Stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?

Hi!
Is it possible to stop photo streaming uploading when I use some WIFI Hot Spot?
I use tethering from other 3G connection a lot, so i'm consuming a lot of Mb!

I missed you in iChat yesterday as I was posting this to let you know.
It is mostly as the Page 7 stuff is but laid out in a form that can be used without tables or extra div sections of HTML.
As I am sure there are newer things that we have missed such as
http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
and other VJ type apps that might warrant some sort of mention.
Anyhow it might flush out some some more anyway.
I still feel that the credit for this lies with you.
I am going to leave it for a while to see what comes up here and in the other forums of items that might need a mention.

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. :-/

Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

Hi all. Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match. I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream. Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought). But it was not there. In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos. Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll. I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review. I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll. I edited the photo. I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll. So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning. The edited version of the photo was gone. Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp. Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED! This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups. So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011) and backed up my photos. I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos. I have it set to Download and Keep Originals. It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied. At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network. I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos. I am extremely confused. This is a mess. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month. Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone. They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them.

The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

Photo stream upload problem

I have tried this in iPhoto and Aperture, but my photo stream is not uploaded. All the photos are visible in WEB/Photostream, but they don't appear on my iOS devices.
And when I want to make these photos public in Aperture, to make them visible for anyone, the √ vanishes a second after I hit the checkbox.
Flickr stream pix do not show up either although the account looks OK.
Looks as if something was blocking Aperture's traffic, but I have nothing of that kind installed. In System Settings, Photo Stream is enabled, of course.
Thanks a lot for a good idea!
Peter

I understand that. The problem is that the photos stay put on Photo Stream on the iPhone after being removed from Photo Stream in iPhoto. Once a photo reaches it's "due date" it should be removed from iCloud and subsequently from all synchronised devices. This does not happen, it is removed from some but not others. Right now I have 243 photos on iPhoto Stream and 271 in iPhone stream. How come?

Why are photos in my Photo Stream not in my Library?

I have severak photos in my Photo Stream that are not showing in my Library. Even after clicking show in Library the photo doesn't show. Any thoughts?

something is wrong
we need you to give us details to be able to help as we can not see yoru or your computer and only know wha tyou tell us
I could be anything from the wrong version of the OS or of iPhoto or not having auto import set or not having the PS turned on or photos being over 30 dats old or a thousand other reasons - with no information any thing is a wild guess

Photo Stream upload rarely works

Most often than not, my photos that I place in my Upload folder rairly uplads to my devices. I have tried numerous times the following:
Signed in and out of iCloud Control Panel
Reintalled iCloud Control Panel
Rebooted PC
Rebooted Modem/Router
Turned on and off PhotoStream in iOS
Delted and added just 1 picture to upload folder
Other data uploads fine to iCloud (calendar, contacts, etc) Just not photos.
This is very frustrating. It has been like this since they added this feature to iOS. Not sure what else to do. Some times it works and other times it doesn't. Running Windows 7.

Hi...
Yes, photos deleted from your upload folder on the PC are not deleted from your Photo Stream.

Photo Stream Upload - Bypass iPhoto & Aperture

It's easy to get photos from a device to the computer, Photo Stream handles that automatically, but...
Long story short, I just want to be able to drop any image from my computer to my Photo Stream via a sync folder. Simple no?
I can use Aperture or iPhoto to add photos to Photo Stream, but Aperture feels bloated and slow, I'd rather just be able to add an image to a Photo Stream folder and have it be automatically added to my Photo Stream.
I have found something close in this article, which allows you to easily search & pull photos from Photo Stream, but I still haven't found out how to simply add them, so they go to my iOS devices too, without iPho
http://bit.ly/KpIjzP
I tried making an additional folder in the Photo Stream folder and adding images there, but it's not working.
Anyone have a solution here?
Thanks!
Using OS Mavericks 10.9

Can't be done. One needs iPhoto or Aperture to connect with the iCloude servers and upload photos to them.
If you want to add photos to your iPhone without going thru iPhoto do the following:
1 - put them in a folder on your hard drive
2 - connect the iPhone to the Mac.
3 - launch iTunes.
4 - click on your iPhone under Devices.
5 - click on Photos.
6 - check Sync Photos From and select Choose folder....
7 - navigate to the folder with the image files you want to put on your iPhone and select it.
8 - sync with your iPhone.
You're gateway to the iPhone is iTunes.

Why do I have all the photos streamed from my desktop library in a photostream album in my desktop library as well

I've just noticed that all the photos that are in my main iPhoto library are now also in the Photo Stream album. Have they been streamed to my devices and then streamed back? Or does iPhoto set up a separate album for photos to be streamed?

Because you have this checked in iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences:
Uncheck that checkbox. Go into your Photo Stream in iPhoto, select the photos you don't want on your mobile devices, do a Control (right) - click and select Delete from Photo Stream from the contextual menu:
