Photos not transferring through wifi from iPhone to iCloud or Photos
I'm partly through a very slow migration to Photos, quite possibly related to being on a very slow and throttled ISP connection. Apparently not much I can do about that … I suspect much of the problem is related to having too many large videos in my slimmed-down Aperture library …
My issue here is that not a single photo has migrated automatically from my iPhone to either iCloud Photos (as seen through the online portal) or to Photos on my iMac.
I can synch photos by plugging my iPhone 6+ into my iMac. But I want the photos to transfer through wifi …
(I've updated everything to the latest version of software, and have lots of open space.)
I'm frustrated by Photos, yet willing to let my photos transfer completely to Photos and the iCloud to see if it actually turns out to be usable. I like the aspect of having my photos summarized on my iPhone — though I'm not sure I actually will use that feature.
Aperture works much better as a cataloguer for me — I may return …
If you are saying that you are waiting for photos that you have taken on your phone to transfer to the photos application on your Mac using the iCloud photo library whilst you are loading photos from the photos application on your Mac to the iCloud photo library, Then yes I believe you will have to wait.

Photos not syncing to mini from iPhone
ICloud was uploading pictures that were taken on my IPhone to my Mini but now this isn't happening anymore
Hello there, Suewhoo.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews a few options that should prove useful, depending on the details of your specific issue with Photostream:

Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.
Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?
You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone. Then reset the photo sync options. They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

I have connected an AirPlay enabled device to iphone4s. I started palying songs. I was able to access internet through 3G from iphone.After few seconds 3G symbol disappears and WiFi symbol appears. After that I'm not able to access internet. Why is it so?
SMS. Deggie, had them check that. After a lengthy discussion with Senior Tech advisor, it appears it is iMessage/Face Time server (they are the same) issue, which will strong arm those into purchasing Data if they use iMessage over multiple devices, as the server registers the phone number associated with apple ID. Not impressed. I put what I've learned here in a simliar thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17416082#17416082
and this is what I've put in apple.com/feedback
"iMessage requires internet. SMS does not. iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need." -
Can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S
can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S all photos are 3.5 GB
The problem is the photo viewer in the PC. Orientation metadata is stored with the photo and is not being interpreted correctly by the program being used to open it.

How do I transfer photos through Bluetooth from iPhone to iPhone ?
How do I transfer photos through Bluetooth from iPhone to iPhone ?
Hi Soorya3d,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If both iPhones meet the requirements, you can use AirDrop to wirelessly transfer files between them. See this article for the requirements and steps to use AirDrop:

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.
Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes. -
How can i move photos from iphone to icloud without a computer?
I keep running out of space on my iphone (4s) because of the number of photos. I have 15 gb of unused icloud storage but can't figure out how to move the photos from iphone to icloud so i free up space on the iphone. I do not have a computer.
Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store? If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks
To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!
When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment. -
Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?
If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi. -
I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?
Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though. -
I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings -
ITunes locks up while transfering purchased apps from iphone 4
I have had various issues with upgrading to itunes 10.5. Now that most problems have been solved I am having trouble transferring purchased apps from iphone to library. The process starts but after a few apps itunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to exit. Task manager confirms itunes is not repsonding. Any help is aprreciated. I am also getting the blank page when opening itunes.
An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.
