Screensaver photos do not stay "saved" OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Ever since upgrading to OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) my screensaver (source = an iPhoto album) no longer stays saved. It keeps reverting to a canned screensaver set of pics.

Have you done any of the following?

HT201317 Lost iphone, want to see if my photos and notes were saved on icloud

I lost my iphone, how do I check if my photos and Notes were saved in icloud using my MAC ?

Assuming you have something newer than a 3G:
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
You can turn on Notes on the mac to get to notes, or use a browser an log into icloud.com and go to the notes page.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

IOS 5 photo edits not really saved?

I cropped and applied auto-enhance to photos on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5then uploaded what I thought were edited photos to Facebook.
It turns out the edits were not really saved even though I saved the edits.
Original photos before the edits were uploaded Facebook.
Is this a bug? What would be the point of editing photos using the iOS 5 photo edit tools if the edits are not really saved for export?
Is there a fix?

This is interesting, because I had the opposite experience, but then I touched something. :-)
It seems that the Photos app behaves like iPhoto in that you can revert your edits. It can be done directly in the Photos app (clumsy) or in iPhoto once you've copied the photo to your Mac (easier).
I cropped a photo and uploaded it to FB. It looked cropped both on FB and in my linked iPhoto album. I thought that Photos had overwritten my photo because I didn't see an obvious way to revert it. After discovering how to revert the image, I did so in iPhoto. Now the image on FB and in the linked album show the image as uncropped.
I don't know if this helps your situation, but it explains a bit more of the weird Photos behavior that's been observed since iOS 5 dropped.

New contacts will not stay saved

I add a new contact to my phone. It stays saved for a few minutes. When i go back through the messages/ call list where I saved the number (to a name), it only shows the number and the contact is no longer saved in my contact list.

do u have icloud contacts turned on? do u have a computer that you sync your phone too? this happened to me a while ago when icloud was first introduced and i thought was fixed. i had contacts synced on my phone from my mac and then had a contact profile already saved in icloud prior. when i turned icloud on it had a conflict witht he new contact profile that was on my phone and the previous that was saved on the cloud. i had to delete the cloud contact by logging on to the icloud site and removing that contact list and then turning the cloud back on so it matched what was on my phone. i thought that problem was fixed so i am not sure if it will help you but thought i could maybe help

Captured photos are not being saved - occasionally...

Hi,
I own a month-old Lumia 830.
It took me a while before finding out that many of my photos that I took on many occasions are not saving, even though the screen is showing the word 'saving'.
I usually do not necessarily preview the photos each time I snap a few; it's not until I attempt to preview after few days. Therefore, that is why I did not know I actually have been having an issue with this phone's camera. I am using the original microSD that came included inside this phone. By the way, sometimes after snapping a photo or try previewing it right after it, the phone takes out of the camera mode, and back to the Home screen.
Anyone else is having the same issue or knowing what to do?
Thanks!

Hi,
Here is my feedback so far.
The soft resetting did not exhibit any effect at all, including whether or not I selected the option to save on SD or Phone either.
What I found interesting, there are actually two camera applications in this phone. 1. that is the one included by default in the Home page, which starts also when one physically presses the side camera button, it is labeled 'Nokia Camera'; 2. is another camera interface I have discovered when I was scrolling through the listing of application titles already installed by default on this phone, which it is called 'Camera' .
Each one seemingly execute a different GUI - mid you, I am not sure why would Nokia includes (2) camera applications - maybe a contingency plan for individuals like me!
So I ran the 'Camera' application, which is different from the 'Nokia Camera', I was able to snap dozens of photos without a glitch, all were saved on the SD. But then when I reverted back to 'Nokia Camera', I was able to snap up to 4 photos only (some of which I was only able to retrieve/preview not without first navigating to 'Nokia Camera>Settings> clicking on 'Find photos and videos shot with Nokia Camera', while the fifth kept on showing 'savig.....' endlessly, without ever being saved or found. I have tried the same scenario dozens of times - same result. The only way I was able to get out of this screen was by pressing the back button.Yet when I went back using the 'other' Camera only application, there was no problem taking 10-20 photos. They were all saved on the SD/Phone regardless.
This morning I tried both applications again, but for some odd reason, I was able to snap a dozen photos using both applications without any issue.
I am puzzled - both versions are working fine (for now) - but who knows for how long.
Thanks everyone for your insights!

Cropped photos did not stayed cropped for printing shop??

Ok, I spent a lot of time cropping and getting my photos ready for the printer. Saved the photos and copied them to a cd. Took cd to the photo printer and the photos printed as the originals. Put the cd in my other MAC to see what was up and the photos on the CD are the cropped version. Printer doesn't know how or why nor do I. Any suggestions?

Thomas,
How did you copy those photos? If you burn a CD from within iPhoto, using the Share > Burn command, then the CD contains a mini iPhoto Library. This library has all files needed to recreate your library: originals, edits, thumbnails, database files. It's great for restoring an iPhoto library, but it confuses printers and anyone not using iPhoto.
The way to create a CD for a printer or non-iPhoto use is to select the photos and do File > Export > File Export to a folder on your Desktop. iPhoto will export the full-sized, edited (if there is one) version of each selected photo. Burn that folder to the CD. It has only the photo files, and nothing else to confuse the printer.
Regards.

My photos will not stay in the order I uploaded them to my my iPod and they changed their names

I'm really frustrated. I'm trying to put photos in albums on my iPod and iPad. I arranged them on my computer into the order I wanted and uploaded the files I wanted via iTunes as per directions. They are not in the order that they were in the file I uploaded. I spent time renaming and arranging, but to no avail. I look at things using I explorer and discovered that even the names of the files were different than I had named them. I have asked for Apple Support over the phone and in the Apple store. On the phone she was looking up stuff in the manual (I had to tell her what page to go to in the manual, she said that's what they all do to give help) and at the store it was the same story. I am so frustrated at the lack of answers and support that I could toss everything out a window!
Is there anyone out there that actually knows anything about their product?

Good morning
A couple of things that I find.
1. iPhoto "Events" can never be reordered, only iPhoto Albums. Photo events always ordered by date. Are you sure you are uploading Albums and not Events? It sounds like you are doing this correctly but the behaviour in your iPAD is suggesting otherwise.
2. iPhoto events and albums can only be synced from iTunes to an IOS device, they do not sync backwards. Events and albums can migrate from your IOS device to your computer (without a 3rd party app), only camera roll and photosteam . if activated will bring photos from your ios device to your computer.
3. Albums created on an IOS device cannot be deleted by Itunes, they can only be deleted on the device
- Albums created on the IOS device are "mirroring" a photo you have on the IOS device. If you delete that photo it will disappear from the album. So if you took it from an iTunes album or camera roll it will disappear.
When you are syncing from Itunes does your Photo tab look like this?

Photos are not being saved

My Blackberry Curve 8530 has stopped saving pictures even though the display appears to indicate the pics are being saved. There is also plenty of memory left. I have no idea why this is happening.
On another point, browsing through the various community forums, it appears that, for the most part, blackberry phones are 1) either too complicated for most of us to operate; or, 2) that the phones don't really work all that well. No wonder the company charges for service.
Why do we let give money to Blackberry and our carriers when it appears the main way that they make money is by screing us?

Hello,

If you buy a device and it does not work properly, then the customer should have real and free access to the company in order to fix it--especially under warranty. Apparently, we are expected to not have these expectations.
You do...but not direct from RIM. By contract, all formal support is provided by the carriers and authorized resellers, including warranty support. RIM provides zero free front line support. The carriers have received enhanced training on BB's and also have the ability to escalate, at no cost to you, your case into RIM. That is the way it works.

I have 64.6 MB of free memory space. I'm not sure which line refers to the operating system in options-about.
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
Best and Good luck!

Album order (after "sort photos manually") not staying

I have an album of about 500 pictures (from my 10,000 library). I sorted the pictures in it manually, but every time I close iPhoto and then reopen it, the order is messed up a bit with random pictures are out of order.
any ideas?
roger

I was unable to duplicate your problem with an album of 16 photos. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Did you check to see if the sort order was still set to Manually?

IPhone 4 - the issues photos taken not being saved, photos are deleting by themselves, recent calls not appering, msg app keeps closing, what's wrong with my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 started playing up a few days ago.
First it deleted 250 photos ( of my sons birth) then next day it deleted another 50.
Now it won't let me take any photos receive any photo msg's and save photos.
Aswell it has started to get out of msg app as you hit send for the msg. And it won't show any calls made or received in the last few days?
How do I fix it??????

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

System Preferences not staying saved.

When I click the "require password to wake this computer from screensaver" button in System Preferences it works. Then a few minutes later I turn on the screensaver and walk away. I come back and it goes straight to the screen. I have clicked the lock button but it still doesn't works.

Repair permissions and try deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences.

My home page will not stay saved,it keeps going back to the firefox default page

After I've saved my home page(yahoo.com)there will be no problem until my laptop either is turned off or restarted. After I turn on my laptop when I connect to the internet, my home page is changed from yahoo.com to the firefox default almost like if I just updated firefox.And I'm getting tired of having to change my home page back every time I turn my laptop on.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

Since I've updated my IMac to Yosemite, my screensaver preferences will not stay on IPhoto, it always reverts back to National Geographic pictures. Anyone have this problem?

I have an IMac from early 2009. I've updated the OS X to Yosemite to 10.10.1 and since I've updated it, my system screensaver preferences WILL allow me to set the screensaver to IPhoto, but after a few minutes, it always reverts back to National Geographic pictures. I tried putting ALL 18,000 of my pictures into a separate folder and choosing THAT folder for the screensaver, but again - it reverted back to the National Geographic pictures.
Is there any way I can set my screensaver preferences to IPhoto pictures? Am I missing something? Thanks for any input or suggestions.

AirPlay Express not staying connected since intalling Yosemite

"An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”. An unknown error occurred (-65568)."
Ever since I installed Yosemite, I am no longer able to stream music from my itunes account on my iMac to the Airport Express connected
to my sound system. Any ideas?

Hello mtvessell,
So is the AirPort Express only used for AirPlay and not the Internet?
That points me to

But I would also see if there are any AirPort base station updates

Before when I scanned a photo, it would automatically save and ask to scan another photo. Now, the photo is not saving and it doesn't ask to scan again. Help?
