Photos not properly downloading, prevents editing

With the new Yosemite OS X update, I have been trying to edit my photos that were in iPhoto and now in Photos but when I click on Edit it says
"Error Downloading Photo"
An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.
How do i get these photos to download so I can edit my photos?

Same problem here, 10.10.3, MacBook Pro Retina, Photos is set to "Optimize Mac Storage". I'm using a Photos library that I migrated over from my previous computer using Time Machine (I had converted the iPhoto library to Photos and started uploading on the other machine before migrating).
If I go into preferences in Photos, under iCloud Photo Library it says "Updating...", and it has been saying this for several days. Over that time, thumbnails for all of my old photos have been downloaded, but I can't view any videos, or get higher-resolution versions of any of my photos (including those that were part of the library that I migrated). My Photos library on the mac has shrunk from ~50GB to ~30GB, even as many more thumbnails have appeared, which suggests that the optimized storage is working as intended. Except I can't download the full versions!
If I run Activity Monitor, there is a lot of syncing activity going on in the background. photolibraryd, cloudd, nsurlsessiond, and "Photos Agent" are all intermittently using a lot of CPU and network (I had about 10GB of data downloaded overnight).
Hopefully this is all part of a one-time synchronization. If not, I think my next step will be do delete my Photos Library from this machine and start again, since all my photos are already in iCloud.

I Uninstalled OS X server as it did not properly download.

Hey guys
I uninstalled OS X Server as it did not properly download I then went to the Mac App Store to re download it like you do on iPhones but it asked me to pay again. Do I have to pay again? Just because it didn't properly install!
Thanks in advanced

Photos not showing in the edit window

iPhoto 11. 9.4.3
Images in the library appear ok in the filmstrip, but no longer appear in the edit window above.
This was working fine yesterday.
I have quit and restarted iPhoto twice to no avail.

What does appear in the edit window? What appears when you just double click on a thumbnail to view it in the larger mode?
Give this a go: 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
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
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.

LR bug: Photo not shown when you edit in OnOne Perfect photo and come back to LR

I have LR 5.5 and OnOne Perfect Photo Suite 8.5 (PPS) installed.
When I edit the photo in PPS, triggered from LR, then come back to LR, the photo isn't shown, but the original photo shows that another photo is stacked with it. No matter what I do I can't see the photo unless I either (1) close LR and re-open it or (2) click another folder to load other set of images, then go back to the folder I was in.
Repro steps:
Install LR 5.5 and PPS 8.5.
Select a photo in LR and go to menu bar and click on File, then Plug-in Extras, then click on Perfect Photo Suite 8.
Edit the photo in PPS, then go to File, then Save. Exit PPS.
Go back to LR and you'll see that the original photo you selected shows an overlay showing "2", which indicates it is stacked with another photo. Click on the overlay to expand the stack,
Actual result: You only see the original photo, even though you've expanded the group.
Expected result: I see both photos, the original one and the edited one in PPS.

I have had the same problem on several occasions and here is what I have found. Look at your folders in the left-hand pane. When this has happened to me, the current folder was listed as "Current Import". You need to change the folder view to the actual folder you are working from and then you will see the additional photos from onOne edits.

Photos not downloading to app. Getting blank grey boxes instead.

Hello,
I recently had the need to log out of iCloud to troubleshoot an issue on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1.2.
In the photos app, I've got iCloud Photo Library turned on, most of my photos downloaded fine, however, there are several dozen that are showing up as blank grey boxes. If I tap on one, it goes full screen and a little progress circle appears, then hangs up a quarter of the way competed.
I received a new iPhone 6 Plus the day before yesterday, also on ios 8.1.2, and when I logged into all my accounts on it, all the photos downloaded to it without issue. None were missing or grey.
Anyone have any ideas why these photos aren't downloading properly to my iPad?
I've tried both rebooting and a hard reboot (home+ power).
I really would like to avoid having to log out of iCloud again, or restore the iPad,, since it literally takes 15-18 hours for all my data to sync back to the device, most need ing manual intervention to speed up the process, ie launching apps and letting them stay open until all data is synced, then launching the next app, and so on. For example, my collection of photos has 10,974 images and videos, so that alone takes hours and hours to sync.

Yes, the photos are/were on iCloud.com, in addition to, my iPhone 6 Plus. All the photos, except for the newest images, are backed up in iPhoto. I uploaded my entire photo library into the iCloud Photo Library because of the compression, where 98gigs of photos only take up only 28gigs on my iCloud Drive and 9gigs on my iDevices. Can't beat having all your photos in your pocket.
That being said, I knew there would be issues, as iCloud Photo Library is in beta. Moreover, I have found iOS 8 and Yosemite to be the buggiest and most frustrating software releases I have dealt with since the initial release of OS X, back in 2001.
Sad to say that, "It just works," cannot be used to describe the current state of Apples software.
So, I still have over 10,000 images, loosing 108 images isn't really all that big a deal. I just hope it doesn't continue to happen.
On a side note. I have a lot of issues trying to share images with shared folders. I create and name a shared folder. I add people. Then I open the folder, hit the big plus, select photos, hit done, and nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it started by selecting only one photo. Other times I try it on a different device to get it to work. It only works about 60% of the time. It's so frustrating, I'm looking for alternatives.

I lost my belongings via theft. As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports?

I lost my belongings via theft from a storage unit. As it was scheduled for move the next day I did not purchase insurance. Probably an inside job, painful leason learned. This also left me no way to repurchase all i lost.
As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad, understanding even this may not be affordable. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports? How crucial is memory? I could edit photos then store them on flash drives if the ipad cannot handle load. Never having owned one I'm afraid I am completely ignorant on these issues and am grateful for any guidance. Thank you!

No. The iPad while a powerful tablet, is not a PC replacement. It is limited in what it can do.
Trishfromaz wrote:

No USB ports or of any other kind if that is what you are asking. There's the sync/charge port you can use with the Lightning to USB camera Adapter, but only to load photos onto the iPad. It cannot write out to USB drives.

iPads are not upgradeable. So what you buy is what you get. Memory is 1GB. Storage space can go from 16GB up to 128GB
Depending on what Image editor applications you use, there may not be a version for iPad with the features you need.

LOST FAMILY PHOTO'S AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED TO Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2.

My photos were automatically downloaded to the above mentioned sight and although I can see the photo's stored a registration message pops up and I am not able to access them, the photo's were also automatically deleted from my camera. I am aware that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 is no longer available and have tried to download an updated trial version but this appears to taking forever and a virus message keeps appearing. If this Photoshop is unavailable why was it still available for my photo's to disappear into?

There is a forum dedicated to Photoshop Album Starter.

HT1766 So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do?

So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do? I'm getting frustrated

I took it off WiFi and complained on their Facebook page. I think their
salespeople telling folks to always stay on WiFi is their way of making
money! Take your phones OFF of WiFi, put Task Killer Advanced (google play
store - FREE) on your phone and hit that repeatedly during the day. It
will shut down the junk running in the background that loves to nom on your
data. The other thing I do is to constantly dump cached data from my
phone. We did all three of these things and we have only burned up .7 of
our 3GB limit since June 1st! Not even a whole GB in 19 days! Also,
remove all updates from every app that your phone came with (bloatware)
every so often. And shut the phone down every night after you run the task
killer and empty your data cache. Somewhere along the line I will learn how
to completely uninstall that darned bloatware and I will pass it on!
Let me know if this makes a difference for you!

You're really going to need to explain that. What's "USB"? Do you mean a Disk, Drive or volume connected by USB? How is your iphoto set up? What version are you using?

Video not automatically downloading in Photo Dowloader

With my past Canon cameras, including the Canon 880IS, the videos taken with the camera would automatically download with the Photo Downloader of Photoshop Elements 6.0 without any special settings. My new cameras, Canon D10 and Canon 7D, the videos do not download. Is there a special setting I should be using? The first time I tried to download photos and video from the Canon 7D, my catalog crashed with a fatal error and had to be restored because it could not be automatically repaired in the Catalog dialog box. I'm worried to try it again. Are there file size issues that could cause it not to download?

Hi,
Can you please tell which version are you using and on which platform? Please Also tell, if the video files are visible in the advanced dialog of downloader?
Thanks/Tarun

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

iPhoto Version 9.5.1
Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.

How to prevent editing a SharePoint site column value from document properties view of a downloaded document?

Hi,
We have created a SharePoint site column with below settings
1. ShowInEditForm - False
2. ShowInNewForm - False
3. ShowInDisplayForm - True
With the above definition, the site column showing only in view properties form not in New and Edit forms. This column is added to a document library and updating this column value will be managed by event receiver code when a document is uploaded.
Till this point, everything is working OK.
But the issue is when we download and open a document from the above document library, under document properties the above column (with value) is visible along with other document default properties and this column value is editable. With this issue,
user is able to set a new value and overwrite the existing value by re-uploading the document.
Could you please let me know how to handle this issue so that user should not be allowed to edit except viewing the value/property (read only)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh

You can set "ShowInFileDlg" property of field to "FALSE". Using this you will not see that field in document properties list

How can I delete a photo album, I click on edit but do not get a delete option

Hello
I am having great trouble in deleting a folder from my photo album, I click on edit but do not get an option to delete the content, it just opens up showing all content. My friends Ipad gives him the option to delete a folder, have I a problem with the device?
I note also that after adding a folder successfully, adding another folder overlays the former and changes the title or adds only some photos causing a mixture of both folders with the same title. Has anyone any advice how to overcome these problems?
I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer.
Thanks for reading this
