Some photos won't upload to Photo Share albums

I have just started to use photo sharing from my Macbook to my iPhone (previously had been using it iPhone to iPhone only). I am trying to sync photos in Aperture (not all, just a select few) - with my iPhone.
I have created a photo share for myself only (I don't want to use photo stream because I don't want ALL my photos syncing on a regular basis)
The permissions have all be adjusted to allow photosharing both in Aperture and on my iPhone 4
I have 47 photos in an album called IPHONE in Aperture
I selected all the photos and dragged them to Icloud
It asked me if I wanted to put them in my Photo Share album named APERTURE
and I clicked ok.
Even after waiting for over an hour - I am only getting 3 photos into my photoshare album.
Alternatively -
when I "sync" my iPhone using itunes
I tell iTunes that I want to use photos from Aperture
I select the checkbox beside the IPHONE Album I created with 47 photos in it (but it says there are only 23 photos in the album)
I run the sync
and only 23 photos are transferring to my iPhone.
Why isn't it recognizing some of my photos? I know there are specifications for photosharing, but a straight upload/sync in iTunes should allow all photos to upload?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

How do you add people to photo share album on iPad?

How do you add people to photo share album on iPad?

Are you trying to email to iPhone cell numbers? If yes, you can't. That would require SMS, but iPad is MMS only. This means you would need to text from your iPad to someone's email address who has an iPhone. Also, they have to be on iOS 5 or higher.

Some files won't upload; Others will

I'm having problems uploading certain mp3 files to my iPod mini.
In general, the mini seems to be working just fine but there are some files that have been part of my library for several years that won't upload. The same files will open and play properly on iTunes and other software.
These files were originally loaded and currently reside on an external HD as mp3 files. When I do a "GET INFO" they come up as MPEG Movies. If I add the .mps extension to the end of the file name and do a "GET INFO" they come up as mp3 files but still wont load into my iPOD mini.
I can do a "convert to mp3" in iTunes and the newly converted mp3s will work properly (that is they will upload to the mini.) This is a possible solution however, I have in the neighborhood of 2500 albums in mp3 format and it appears that about a third of them fall into the catagory described above. It's taken years to convert my entire music collection and I'd like to avoid having to do it again
Any ideas about what might be going on.
I'm using a G4 MAC with OSX

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may need to convert them all. Just highlight the songs and then convert them. (Highlight the affected songs and hold your mouse down over one. The menu should pop up and you can go to convert selection.) It should be a one time thing.

Deleting some photos in album; unwanted duplicate photos appear

I am a new Aperture 3 user. I imported photos from iphoto, and some appeared as dupliocates. I edited one of the copies, and then tried to delete the unwanted duplicate from the album, and I am not able to do so. Help!!

I've been hunting around for the "missing" photos and I looked in the iphoto library folder on my hard drive and found a folder called albumdata.xml. Inside were all of the albums and lists of numbers that obviously correspond to photos, but which don't have obvious correlations. Does anyone know how to find out how iphoto numbers the photos in my library so I can quickly find these photos and put them back in my book? I have over 5000 photos, and chose 200 of them for the book. I could go back through all 5000, but I'd rather start from where I left off, or at least use the data that is stored for the book, even if these photos aren't showin gin the "unplaced photos" area. Thank you!
By the way - for clarity, here is what I found for my book in the xml file: "AlbumName Birth Book KeyList 1362 1372 1326 1352 1324 1345 1342 1336 1331 1234 1299 1292 1286 1285 1258 1436 1437 1441 1447 1461 1563 1470 1467 1573 1576 1546 1543 1542 1541 1555 1595 1553 1583 1622 1634 1653 1662 1690 1700 1735 1738 1744 1812 526 1835 1959 2253 2264 2309 2323 2360 2361 2370 2377 2305 1918 485 515 448 909 913 928 953 957 961 978 989 1019 1176 1184 1209 3179 3054 3064 3193 3452 3462 3339 3470 3483 3487 3512 3537 3549 3558 3373 3563 3697 3708 4004 4038 4042 4052 4060 4090 4102 4116 4182 4284 4582 4634 4636 4704 4758 4764 4775 4839 4789 4791 4821 4813 4980 5405 5429 5461 5517 5548 5716 5574 5638 6709 6711 6685 6445 6451 7082 7128 7132 7140 7176 7401 7405 7407 7598 7600 7750 7808 7928 10882 10894 9181 9329 9365 9959 10117 10125 10133 10157 10175 10209 10219 10263 10433 8304 8320 8350 8396 8424 8456 8600 8608 8646 8696 8742 8820 10904 10908 8210 8214 8872 10653 10657 10675 10924 10938 10950 10992 10994 11004 11008 11012 11410 11420 11444 11456 11462 11468 11510 11516 11530 11532 11534 11544 11550 11552 11556 11558 11562 11564 11590 11646 11658 11829 11847 11895 11899 11901 Album Type Book PhotoCount 207"

Some photos in album not available in unplaced picture strip for book

An annoying problem on all the books I have prepared is that the Book album shows the correct number of photos but they all don't show up in the unplaced photo strip so I can drag them to the book layout. I have tried dragging these photos from the album to the book album but they are already there! Ideas?

My iPad won't upload photos

Of all the photos on my pc, which have previously come from my iPhone will not upload to my iPad.
There are some photos I have imported to my pc and had on my iPhone before that also won't upload.
Can any one advise me on how to do this?
Can I upload them to iCloud?
Thanks

Windows 7, yes, I've download, installed, uninstalled and reinstalled about a dozen times. My wife has a Windows 7 PC and it works flawlessly on hers.
We both use the same iCloud account just for the Photo Stream so we can share the pics.

Some photos do not upload to iCloud

I took about 100 photos at an event. It was one had a chance to go to on the spur of the moment, and I only had my iPhone (5s, running 8.1.3). Normally for something like this, I would have used a camera, but my phone was all I had.
My phone is set to upload photos to iCloud. But, 36 hrs later, about 20% (18 or 20....I haven't completed the careful comparison yet) of the photos that are on my phone are NOT in my iCloud (as viewed in iPhoto on my Mac; they're not in my PhotoStream on my iPad either so I'm assuming they really aren't in iCloud).
There is no difference, that I can detect, in the photos that did not make it to iCloud (from the ones that did). I transferred a couple to my Mac by Messaging and they have the same characteristics (in "Info") as the ones that came to the Mac automatically.
I tried selecting a couple of photos that did not make it to iCloud on my phone and, with the little sharing icon (up arrow), I selected them for sharing to My Photo Stream. So far (about an hour) they have NOT appeared in my Photostream view in iPhoto on my Mac.
What gives? I definitely have had this occur occasionally before, with a shot or two. Normally I would use my camera for a bunch of photos like this and wouldn't notice the problem. But in trying to bulk transfer slightly over 100 photos to my Mac, I was HOPING that I could count on iCloud photo sharing to do the job for me. Instead, I have a bigger nuisance trying to inventory my camera and make sure I haven't missed manually transferring one or two to my Mac!!
Suggestions appreciated!

Well, during the now 3 day period since the photos were taken, the phone (and camera app) has been closed, powered off, restarted, etc. a number of times. I was outdoors and not connected to wi-fi during the shoot. But my phone went on a charger and connected to wi-fi right after I got home. Since I took over 100 photos at this event, there was a period near the end of the session when my phone battery was low, but some of the photos missing from photo stream are in the first group that I took that day. The phone never "died" or failed to shoot a photo, so the battery was never critically low.
After doing a better count, I took about 120 snaps total. Only about 85 photos seem to have ever entered photo stream, as counted in iPhoto on my Mac. Roughly the same count of missing photos is seem on my iPad which stayed home the whole time and wasn't involved in this except that it shares my Photostream.
Working on the individual photos on my phone, marking them to share in my Photostream STILL does not get them into it!! So, there are some photos that just will not upload it appears. Once into iPhoto on my Mac, I cannot see any consistent difference in the size or technical characteristics of the ones that did not upload as compared to the ones that did.
I have transferred ALL the photos from this session on my phone by usb cable upload to my Mac, so it's NOT a serious issue at this time. However, it greatly upsets me that a major part of my photo set did NOT get uploaded to iCloud for backup purposes. Nor would they have gotten to my Mac where I archive photos if I hadn't taken the time to upload them by cable.
I seriously doubt that my Photostream limit was approached as I haven't used my iPhone camera for anything other than an occasional snap or two per week for months. As I said, I would usually have used a camera for this photo session had I not been caught out with only my phone. But I only took about 120 photos in this session. And the missing 30 or so photos are scattered all through the photo shoot from beginning to end!
So, it's a mystery to me too! About 20% of the photos I took just never ended up getting to Photostream.

HT204264 "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" mode

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.

I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

Moved iPhoto to external HD now photos won't upload to Photo Stream

I moved iPhoto to an external HD connected to my iMac and now Photo Stream says it is uploading photos but nothing is happening.
After moving iPhoto (and selecting the new location as the default by holding down the Option key when opening the app) I added some photos by dragging them from Finder to iPhoto Library Photos. I then dragged them from Library Photos to Photo Stream and all appeared to be fine. However after an 2 hours it still says "Uploading 140 photos" but no photos are moving to the Photo Stream folder.
Any help would be appreciated!

Quit out of iPhoto, relaunch and try again. Also the following may help:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. See if that willjump start the upload to Photo Stream.

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

Photo Stream only Uploading Some Photos

Has anyone else noticed this? If I take a picture on my iPhone 5, sometimes it shows in my camera roll and in Photo Stream. Sometimes, it only shows in my camera roll. Likewise, the Photo Stream library on my iPad 4 isn't picking up the new photos from my iPhone 5. The problem seems a little intermittent. Some photo upload fine, but I've had several that don't for some reason.
Any ideas?

Hi shorty47116,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with My Photo Stream not uploading your photos correctly or completely, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

Is there something special about the file formats? iCloud Photo Library supports:
JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and MP4.
And no JPEG must be larger than 16GB.
The photos will not upload, if the original image file is missing. Can you edit or export the photos, that did not upload?

Some photos won't upload to Photo Share albums
