Photostream on new MacBook not  synching old photos

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. When turning on Photostream it only seems to be showing the photos taken since the beginning of the year. My other iPhone and iPad are showing the most recent 1000 photos. How do I get iPhoto Photostream to synch mall y whole Photostream photos from the iCloud?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. When turning on Photostream it only seems to be showing the photos taken since the beginning of the year. My other iPhone and iPad are showing the most recent 1000 photos.
The PhotoStream may show different contents on the devices. Some devices may keep older photos in the stream, but the iCloud server wll not necessarily keep photos that are older than a month. So your new mac will only see the recent photos on the iCloud server.
How do I get iPhoto Photostream to synch mall y whole Photostream photos from the iCloud?
Download the missing photos to the Camera Roll and then connect the device to your Mac. This way you can download the contents of the Camera Roll directly to iPhoto.
Also, if you add photos again to the camera roll, that are in some other album on your IOS-device, they will be sent to the PhotoStream again.

  • I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook. Can send file from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air.

    Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook (2 1/2 years old). Can transfer files from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air. When I try, MacBook does not recognize Air. File transfer only goes in one direction. Any solution to this problem? Regards

    The Setup Assistant can restore your data from a Time Machine backup. You'll be asked if you want to do this the first time you turn the computer on.

  • I had to purchase a new MacBook when my old one was stolen. We have two other MacBooks that use the ITunes library.  Is there any way to get the library transferred to my new computer.

    I had to purchase a new MacBook when my old one was stolen.  We have two other MacBooks in the family that use the ITunes library.  How do I get the full ITunes library on the new computer when I don't have access to the old computer?

    If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • IPhone not synching all photos.

    I am having a strange issue with synching my iPhoto library with my iPhone. For some reason, only about half my photos get synched onto the phone. I had first noticed this when trying to dig up some photos of my son and noticing that I only had the ones from right after he was born about a year and a half ago. Even more curious, when I tried to reset photo synching by turning it off, the phone retained the pictures.  Even stranger, I could not delete them from the iPhone by going to Settings>General>Usage.
    My iPhoto library is on my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8.  My iPhoto version is 9.2.3 (can't upgrade further without upgrading to Lion). I knew this was not an issue with insufficient space on my iPhone because the status bar at the bottom in iTunes indicates that even with the entire iPhoto library synching, 6 GB is left over.
    I had seen a similar issue on someone's iPad, and the solution was to back it up through iTunes, restore the OS onto the iPad, and let the restored backup re-populate with data. Unfortunately, this did not work for my iPhone.  I even turned off photo synching before the restore to confirm that there were no photos on the phone after the iOS restore.  I then turned photo synching back on, and once again, only half of my iPhoto library synched.  I got an error message on my phone that "3,268 photos could not be synched to your iPhone because of a problem. Check iTunes for details." However, there was no message in iTunes to indicate what the error was.  The photos just did not synch.
    Next, I tried emptying the iPod Photo Cache inside the iPhoto library and synched again.  iTunes rebuilt the cache, but still did not synch the photos.  I got the same error message on my phone, and no indication of a problem in iTunes.
    The next thing I was going to try was to rebuild the iPhoto library, but if anyone out there has seen this issue and resolved it, please let me know, as it would save me a lot of time.

  • Old Macbook Died, trying to put old SSD into new Macbook, not working.

    I had an old 07 model 17in Macbook pro with a 250g SSD in it. The old macbook finally died so I bought a used 2011 model 17in Macbook Pro that comes with a 500g spinning hard drive.
    I would like to move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead) into my new Macbook, but apparently it's not as simple as remove and install. The new Macbook will not boot from my old SSD drive once I put it in. The old SSD was running Mavericks and with data on it which I would like to keep. Any suggestions?

    Hello babyharpseal and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    "move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead)"
    So you're sure that SSD is working properly? What happened to your '07? and did you keep your Mavericks Installer?
    If so:
    Update your 2011 to the latest version of Mavericks and place your SSD in an external and do this:
    Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
    Then insure that your internal is bootable and reinstall Mavericks on your SSD.
    http://macs.about.com/od/Mavericks/ss/How-To-Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X-Mav ericks-On-A-Macs-Startup-Drive.htm
    This will be a clean install and all data will be erased.
    "The OS X Mavericks Installer, available from the (Apple Store)"
    No longer true.
    Apple will want you to update to Yosemite but I'm currently not recommending that.

  • Transfer iPhone backup to new macbook pro from old macbook pro

    I bought a new macbook pro last week, but, I need to transfer my iTunes library (music, apps, podcast, photos, other) from my old macbook pro to my new macbook pro and the iPhone backup, off course, please, I have read entire hours on google but I can´t found anything, I don´t know what I can do

    As roaming gnome noted, to copy iTunes , simply copy the entire iTunes folder.
    Just backup your iPhone to the new computer (after you copy the iTunes folder).

  • Transferred MS Office files on new MacBook not working

    I just had my data migrated to a new MacBook and then installed MS Office:Mac 2011 on the new computer so my transferred Office files could work.  Some of them open up just fine and some open up blank or with funny lines.  For Excel, some of the docs have some blank columns (but when you are in the cell, the formula bar shows the data that's in there, but it doesn't show up in the cell) and some columns with data.  Some word docs have random lines but look blank.
    Any ideas on what is going on?  Why are some working and some not and more importantly, how can I get them all to work, short of emailing all the files or using a memory stick to get all Office docs from my old doc to the new?  Does the fact that the migration occurred before the new Office program was installed have something to do with it?
    Thanks!
    Bernice

    Sorry for double posting but I have more information.
    When I use the keyboard viewer and press Z it actually shows it being pressed on screen it just doesn't appear in text box's. Also I clicked on google search (randomly to try typing) and I didn't type I just pressed the keys using the keyboard viewers and when I pressed Z on the keyboard viewer it didn't come up so it's definately nothing wrong with the hardware it has to be something wrong with the programmes or something. Also I can write Z when I hold down shift + Z but other than that I can't use the cap lock to write it.
    Oh this is all very confusing please help

  • New Macbook Air over Old Macbook Pro 13" ?

    Essentially I would be using it for the following:
    Word Processing (ms office suite)
    Video editing (primarily YT videos) via FCP X
    Music editing / production via Garageband, Logic Pro, and Melodyne
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 (willing to live without retina)
    Probably light gaming
    Coding ( I don't think this should be an issue, but want the ability to write apps for iOS)
    Web surfing obviously
    Building itunes library (currently less than 10gb)
    Budget is $1190 or less. I'm definitely getting at least 8gb of ram (16gb if older mbp and falls in budget or 4gb if that would be sufficient for what I'm planning to do) in either scenario. But not sure if I should go for 128 - 256 ssd gb or a higher capactiy hd that usually is found in mbp's. Is the 1.3 ghz processor in the MBA enough for all that? Should I be looking at retina MBP's? A bit lost / clueless.
    Looking to purchase today so opinions are very much appreciated and needed asap. Which would work best for my needs? Looking at 13" models. SD card slot would be great, but not necessary since I currently have a PC that has an SD card slot as well as cd/dvd drive.
    Mainly interested in new or seller refurbished. Not used unless less than month old or something. Most likely not getting apple care.

    Thats just a new Macbook Air 13" base model sold by BH.   with 8gig of RAM
    Get the $100 upgrade at purchase of the 8gig of RAM over the 4gig, to be certain, yes your choice is correct on the RAM.
    Same Air I use currently.   
    Youll save sales tax buying from them of course, however I dont know what shipping costs would be from BH.
    You shoudnt worry about SSD space, all large media needs to be (most of it at any rate) on an external HD, and you need same for backups / Time Machine .
    Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
    There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
    In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
    Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
    Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
    Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
    The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
    All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
    Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
    You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
    However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
    A Professional Example
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. 
    You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
    Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
    External Hard Drives
    External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
    1. Data backup and protection.
    2. Redundancy for important data.
    3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
    While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
    There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
    External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

  • New Macbook Pro with old Macbook HD

    Is it possible to upgrade to a new macbook pro and use the old HD from my current macbook. I would like to get the performance upgrade without having to reload all my programs and other things. It will also make it easier to put the new HD from the new macbook pro into the old mb and have it as new without my info inside and have all the latest software installed and clean. Also , what is the max amount of memory on a 15" mbp.

    The OS version being the same is irrelevant - the hardware is different. One example - your new MBP has dual graphics cards. The 'old' OS won't support that, because the hardware wasn't present on the old machine, so necessary components (call them drivers if you like) weren't installed.
    To be blunt, if you swap the drives or clone over the old system, you will have problems. You can do that with _the exact same model_ but not an older one.

  • Brand new Macbook not connecting to Belkin Router!

    Hi, I am at my wits end here seriously. I've read countless posts from everywhere on people having trouble with the Macbook and it not connecting to their router.
    My situation: I bought my Macbook 5 days ago, brand new. So whatever the latest versions of everything is, however it is still running Tiger, but I am waiting on Leopard in the mail.
    I have a Belkin router(I'm at work so I don't have it with me to check the correct model number but it looks like it would be F5D5231-3 (it's about 3 years old). Now my Macbook recognises the router, however it will not connect. I've spent the last 4 nights on the phone to Belkin, Apple and my ISP, and I'm going to have a breakdown because no one has been any help.
    Anyway, I went to a cafe last night to use their hotspot wireless internet, and I connected to their internet just fine. I have tried everything Belkin, Apple and my ISP has told me to do and nothing has worked. I had an iBook when I first got my router and it connected just fine, I didn't have airport but I had a wireless d-link USB device. Why oh why is my new Macbook causing me so much trouble?? I've wasted so much time being bounced around from one useless person to the other... I just need some help or suggestions.
    Also, there is a desktop PC and two PC laptops in the same house which connect fine to the router.
    Please anyone who is able to help me I will be eternally grateful. The thing is I really don't need the internet as my partner has a laptop with internet, but I want everything working. I want to have my own laptop with my own internet connection and to stop wasting time messing around with settings and everything.
    Thanks for hearing my rant. Please don't hesitate to give me some advice!
    Message was edited by: Host

    Would the problem be that my router is 'g' and 'b' based? I notice that the new Macbooks airport are 'n" based. But even so, I'm sure the cafe I went to wasn't 'n'. If I have to buy a new router I will, but would rather not if I can get this router to work.

  • New macbook and getting old playlists to show up

    I have 2 external HD's with music in itunes folders one is a small 150 GB and the other a 650 GB. The largest external is my old computer (now in an external firewire case) with OS 10.5 and itunes and all my good playlists which had some songs linked on the 2nd 150GB external. When I boot from the 650 gb on my macbook i see the playlists but now with some missing audio when I boot my new MacBook from 650GB external while the 150GB is attached via USB.
    So now my question, after buying a couple of utilities which do not merge everything to the one large external, how do i get all the songs and the 650GB playlist from my old HD to show up on the booted macbook and not when I' m boot from the 650GB external. I have on both external HD approximately 200 gb of music, audiobooks and audio class course material.
    I need the playlist (at least) from the 650GB external and then all the itunes backed up on that external. I really don't need to access the stuff everytime i boot up or attach ipod. But i would like the playlists to be there so when i do decide to update the playlist on my iPod 80 gb i can and just so i don't worry. LOL.
    any help GREATLY appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem.
    The first time i turned the machine on, I got part way through setup assistant and it froze. I turned it off (by holding the power key down). The next time, I got only slightly into setup assistant, and it froze again. The third time, all i get is the crazy picture of how to replace batteries in a wireless mouse. I've tried to restart from the CD and with a variety of restart options. All I get is the battery replacement diagram. Any help out there? Extremely frustrated!
