Streaming Limitations

I'm using FMS to stream approximately 30 live events to around 4,000 viewers. I wanted to make sure there is no limit to the maximum number of RTMP connections to FMS? Also, how many connections does it normally take to start considering adding more servers? I have a pretty hefty server (dedicated dual quad-core with 12gb ram) but I have no way of knowing if it will be enough. It handled 1,000 connections pretty easily but 4,000 is quite a bit more. Thanks!

Hey joshfester19,
The limit to the number of rtmp connections to FMS depends on the type of server you are using. Refer to this: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-server-family/buying-guide-comparison.html
The number of connections your server can handle depends on your machine and the kind of load you are giving to it.
Hope this helps.

Question on Shared Photo Stream Limits

I was creating a bunch of new Shared Photo Streams on my iPhone and got a message that it "Cannot Create Photo Stream: You can only have 50 shared photo streams. Delete an existing one and try again." In checking the webpage that discusses the Photo Stream Limits (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858), it states that you can have 100 Shared Photo Streams. Anyone have any idea why it is limiting me to 50?
Thanks,
Merg

Well, I got a call-back last night. Apparently, the limit was changed to be 50 Shared Photo Streams in the last few days, however, they had not updated the FAQ page. So, what was initially unlimited and then reduced to 100 is now 50.

HT4858 Shared photo stream limits?

I've read that 1,000 photos is the limit to 'My Photostream'. Is there a limit to the number of total shared photos across multiple streams?
For example, can there be 1,000 photos in each of 4 shared photo streams for a total of 4,000 shared photos?

According to Apple's website (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US), you can have any number of shared streams, each with up to a thousand photos in it. The only limitation is that it will only let you share 1,000 photos per hour, and 10,000 per day. It says you can have unlimited photo sharing over time, though, which brings me to my next question;
I'm interested to know if the 30 day limits that are on the iDevice photo streams are also true for the photo streams shared through iPhoto. Am I able to share old photos (older than 30 days, up to X number of years old, even) with friends and family through iPhoto?

Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"?

Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"? They appear to be camera photos that I imported into iPhoto. I can leave the computer on all day and it still remains the same, meanwhile photos I take on the iPad are still being synced.

Try to reset the Photo Stream:
Disable it in System Preferences > iCloud
Wait for a few minutes - have a cup of coffee.
Then enabe it again.
Repeat, if it has no effect the first time.
Have you exceeded your daily or monthly limits?

Transport jump ahead during streaming

I am using Quicktime pro and cannot get the transport to jump ahead in a streaming movie. I cannot drag it or manually enter a time to go to. It works in a movie residing on my hard drive, but not streaming. Is Quicktime capable of this or is it a streaming limitation?

Same problem, keeps losing connection when in home sharing playing music and reverts to main menu so to get your music back you have to go back through the menu to start music up again.
Yet when not home sharing I can stream music from my iTunes library by selecting Appletv under speakers and it never loses the connection.
So there must be a problem with home sharing that causes the signal to drop out randomly.

HT4858 photo stream limit reached

We recently moved our iPhoto library to a different Mac (old one's hard drive failed and it was time for it to go), and ever since then, our IOS devices say Photo Stream reached and we can't do anything on the devices (3 iphone 5's; 2 Ipad 3's and 1 Ipad mini). I had to shut down each device and turn off photo strea to be able to use the devices, so now I can's use photo stream, which is a bummer. Any ideas?

Did you enable this checkbox in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane?
If you did that your iPhoto library uploaded the maximum photos that can be added to the PS.
Uncheck that box, go into Photo Stream in iPhoto, select those photos you don't want in the PS, Control (right)-click and choose Delete from Photo Stream.
That will drop you below the 1000 limit. This Apple document discribes the limits of PS: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

Cannot create another shared photo stream - 50 shared photo stream limit?

Hi - I'm getting this error message when trying to create a new photo stream in Aperture:
I've deleted a few photo streams and I'm still getting the error.
Also, when I look at the Photo Stream Limits Apple posted I don't see any mention of this limitation. What am I missing?

I can confirm the problem: The same message, as soon as I try to add stream no. 51.
But for me it works to delete one of the streams. I could replace it by a new stream without problems.
I tried this with MacOS X 10.8.4 and 10.8.5, Aperture 3.4.5.
The limit seems to be 50 streams.
I've deleted a few photo streams and I'm still getting the error.
Have you waited for the deletion to be synced with iCloud? Or you may have hit another limit. For me the replacing of Photo streams is working well, but the limit of 50 streams is disappointing.

IPhoto: Photo Stream not functional

My iPhoto program has been working fine. Yesterday it stopped allowing me to add to Photo Stream and keeps saying "Uploading 1,850 photos"
i went into System Preferences and turned off Photo Stream, waited, then on again. Still get same message and can't add to Photo Stream.
Oh, I also deleted a lot of photos from Photo Stream since it was over the "limit."
Please help!

If you tried to upload more than 1000 photos you simply may have to wait. There are limits to the upload rate, no more than 1000 photos per hour or 10000 per day right now.

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?

I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!

Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

Do I need to manually back up my iphone photos if I have auto downloads already set up in iphoto?

I'm a relatively new iPhone user. I don't take a ton of photos, but the ones I take are important to me. I've been trying to make sure that photos I take with my phone are backed up and in iPhoto. I have a few questions regarding how it all works.
1) If I take a picture with my iPhone it goes to both my camera roll and my photostream (yes, photostream is on)... is this correct?
2) My photostream is limited to 1000 photos. These photos exist on the cloud aren't necessarily saved to my computer... is this correct?
3) I have automatic downloading set up via iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. When I do this ALL photos I take are downloaded by my computer as long as I've connected it to the internet at some point recently... is this corret? If they are downloaded, are they downloaded from my photostream, or are they downloaded as they come in?
4) If I go over 1000 photos in a month in my photostream, does it save ALL of them to iPhoto or just the 1000 most current? In other words, in iPhoto I see a section labeled, for example, "May 2013 Photostream". If I took 1500 photos during that May timeframe, would they ALL be there or would only the 1000 that constituted my photostream at the time of download be in there?
5) If a photo is show in iPhoto it is permenantly downloaded to my computer's harddrive... is this correct?
6) This is the biggest one. If I have auto downloads set up between my iPhone and iPhoto, is there any reason to download photos manually? Everytime I download photos manually it says I have a bunch of duplicates. They all seem to be duplicated in my photo stream, BUT others are not duplicated and seem to download at the time of the manual operation, which makes me think that they autodownloads aren't downloading everything.
7) Do photos I edit in Snapseed or Instagram get downloaded automatically or do I have to put them somewhere for that to happen?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. This stuff is super confusing if you've never used it before. I just want to be sure I haven't lost anything and don't delete anything.

Good questions!
SInce you are having Photo Stream, you may want to backup your iPhone to iCLoud. to be on the safe side, see: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
1) If I take a picture with my iPhone it goes to both my camera roll and my photostream (yes, photostream is on)... is this correct?
Yes, photos you take with the iPhone will be stored in the camera roll, and the camera roll will be automatically added to iCLoud and synced to your devices.
2) My photostream is limited to 1000 photos. These photos exist on the cloud aren't necessarily saved to my computer... is this correct?
My photo stream is limited to max 1000 photos and only the last month of photos.
If you enable automatic import on your mac, these photos will be stored on your mac automatically in monthly events in iPhoto. Or you can import manually, what you are seeing in the My Photo Stream album.
See: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
3) I have automatic downloading set up via iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. When I do this ALL photos I take are downloaded by my computer as long as I've connected it to the internet at some point recently... is this corret? If they are downloaded, are they downloaded from my photostream, or are they downloaded as they come in?
All photos currently in iCloud will be visible in the Photo Stream, when it is enabled on your mac, and with automatic import they will be added to the monthly events, as soon as the mac syncs with iCloud.
4) If I go over 1000 photos in a month in my photostream, does it save ALL of them to iPhoto or just the 1000 most current?
When you reach 1000 photos in My Photo Stream, the oldest photos will automatically deleted, so you should sync your phone before that happens.
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
In other words, in iPhoto I see a section labeled, for example, "May 2013 Photostream". If I took 1500 photos during that May timeframe, would they ALL be there or would only the 1000 that constituted my photostream at the time of download be in there?
You can sync more than a 1000 photos per month, only make sure, you sync often.
5) If a photo is show in iPhoto it is permenantly downloaded to my computer's harddrive... is this correct?
It is downloaded permanently, as soon as you are seeing it in an event in iPhoto, not if it is only showing in the "My Photo Stream" album.
6) This is the biggest one. If I have auto downloads set up between my iPhone and iPhoto, is there any reason to download photos manually? Everytime I download photos manually it says I have a bunch of duplicates. They all seem to be duplicated in my photo stream, BUT others are not duplicated and seem to download at the time of the manual operation, which makes me think that they autodownloads aren't downloading everything.
One good reason to download manually would be the download speed. It is just quicker, and you are not risking transmission errors. Also, you may have more photos in your camera roll than in the photo stream, because you could have deleted photos from the photo stream. The duplicates should be no problem, if you exclude them from importing.
7) Do photos I edit in Snapseed or Instagram get downloaded automatically or do I have to put them somewhere for that to happen?
I do not use these apps, so I cannot be sure, but usually you will have to save edited photos back to the camera roll, to be able to sync them, either with Photo Stream or by manual sync.

MacPro Quad Core 32g Ram running slow Logic using only 9g in Activity Monitor

Well its taken a while, but this is my first foray into the world of forums! I'm so hacked off with this regular problem and havent been able to find anything anywhere to solve it i thought i'd see if anyone has any similiar issues and maybe even a solve to it.
So.... im an orchestrator and producer and after my mid 2008 Macbook Pro with 8g ram started freezing up i invested in this 3 years ago -
Mac Pro 2x 2.4ghz Quad Core intel Xeon and stuck in 32gb of lovely Crucial RAM and 3 seperate internal 1TB drives with one for operating system (10.6.8), one for Audio recording/saving and one for all my sample libraries.
32gb ram - should be enough i thought!
So i regularly run at least 30 VI's - Ni The giant, Spitfire Orchestral librabies (say 12 string instruments up to 0.69g per load) LASS strings, plus perc STYLUS, ABBEY road drums, Trillian basses (acoustic/electric), ominisphere etc etc. So pretty hefty sample instruments. But theyre sooo nice!!
In addition, the 32 bit server will come alive (NOT! So unstable i find) with my Waves plugs etc.
Looking at ACTIVITY MONITOR however i might be not touching 9 gig (and sometimes even less) of usage for Logic, and only say 800MB for 32 bit server and have NOTHING else open - and what do i find .....
- Mouse lag and cant really do anything with the mouse whilst playing the track - cant adjust volume - too slow, zooming problems
- Takes a good 2-3 seconds for track to stop playing
Dont get System OVERLOADS so much, its just that the system goes REALLLLLY slow.
What ive tried- - -
- Running Mountain Lion off another drive (havent had time to install it and wanted to be sure everything worked etc)
- Tried all audio prefs - large/small buffers/threads etc and yes i am on 1024.
in a nutshell how come with 32g RAM everything is so slow when barely using 10g of that???????
I dread getting to the end of a project cos i know im gonna be freezing so much, but with so much editing all the time for the orchestral parts i need everything unfrozen and working.
Sorry if this is long winded but wanted to describe what im experiencing.
Any feedback most welcome! Thankyou in advance.
Mac Pro 2x 2.4ghz Quad Core intel Xeon 32g RAM, 3TB storage
10.6.8
Logic Pro 9.1.8

Hi
A few thoughts:
julian6400 wrote:

The 32bit server is a pita: Waves v9 are 64bit compatible (they run fine). 32 bit VI's can be run outside Logic using Vienna Ensemble Pro (see later)

Some of these VI's are extremely CPU hungry: Abbey Rd drums for example, really do hammer the CPU. What does Logic's Performance meter show in the way of CPU load. What does Activity Monitor show regarding CPU load?
With 32G of RAM, this should not be the issue, but you might have general CPU problems (see above), and you may also have Sample disk streaming limitations if all the Loibraries you mention are on the same drive. How does Activity Monitor look regarding disk access? You might find it helpful to add a second drive and split the sample libraries across 2 for faster disk access.
I presume that you have plenty of free space on the System drive?
Logic can get sluggish if the Undo info gets way too big, and also if there are loads of regions in the Arrange: check Options:Project Information.
Many are finding some benefits (me included) by running the VI's in Vienna Ensemble Pro:
Better CPU load distribution than directly in Logic
"Persistant Samples": they can remain loaded whilst you switch Logic Projects
Logic is effectively running much less itself, so generally flies.
32bit Plugs hosted separately in VEP so no 32bit Bridge issues in Logic
Something to consider,though perhaps not yet, would be setting up a Slave computer using VEP.

ICloud Photo Library doesn't upload

I have this issue since this morning (I live in Italy, so it's been happening the whole day): when I take a photo (or save it) with my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.3), the Photos app starts to upload it but within a few seconds it stops, and instead of showing "uploading 1 photo" it shows "1 photo to upload" (I don't know if this sentences are right, since I have my iPhone set in Italian). I've already tried soft reset, turning off and then on iCloud Photo Library, and even the whole iCloud, but the issue isn't gone. Please someone help me!

It doesn't seem bad to me, though ...
My Photo Stream upload limits
The My Photo Stream limits below are based on anticipated upload patterns. My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will pause temporarily and you might see a notification on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically when you no longer exceed the limit, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
iCloud Photo Sharing limits
These are the iCloud Photo Sharing hourly and daily limits:
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors per shared stream, per hour: 1000
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors per shared stream, per day: 10,000
These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream, then share those 10,000 photos or 10,000 other photos.Some additional limits for shared photo stream usage:
Maximum shared streams an owner can share: 100
Maximum shared streams a user can subscribe to: 100
Maximum subscribers per shared stream: 100 (the number of subscribers on each shared stream)
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors in any one shared stream album: 5000
Maximum number of comments per photo or video in a shared stream: 200 (a comment can be either a Like or a text entry)
Maximum characters per comment: 200
Maximum number of invites a shared stream owner may send per day: 200

Icloud and photos - I am confused

I am unsure about what is happening with my photos. I ran out of my free 5GB space in iCloud- most of the space was taken up with photos. I hooked up my iphone to the Mac and saved all the photos to my photo library and did a back up of everything. I clicked the option to 'remove all synced photos from iphone' once they were all synced but they were all still there. I thought that that would release the space taken up. I don't get it. So then I turned off iCloud - and now the space is restored. There is a message saying Your icloud library has been disabled, you have 27 days remaining to make sure you have a complete copy of your photos and videos. I think I have done that - or is there something else it means?
I like having iCloud, I like being able to see my photos on all my devices, so how can I do that and just use the 5GB allocated?

Hello The Countess,
Based on your post it seems you would like more information about iCloud and photo management. Syncing photos your computer and removing them from your iPhone is great way to free up storage space. Photos are still kept in your Photo Stream for some time, which do take up your iCloud storage. I have linked to an article which provides more information:
iCloud: My Photo Stream overview
With My Photo Stream, the photos you take with your iOS devices or import to your computers appear automatically on all of your devices. It’s a great way to get all your latest shots on all your personal devices.
How it works
You can take a photo with your iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your iPad or your Mac or Windows computer. iCloud automatically pushes copies of the photos over any available Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to your other devices.
The photos appear in My Photo Stream on these devices:
On your Mac, in iPhoto or Aperture
On your iOS 7 device, in the Photos app
On your iOS 8 device, in the Photos app (when iCloud Photo Library beta is not turned on)
On your Apple TV, under iCloud Photos
On your Windows computer, in the Pictures Library
On your iOS 8.1 device (when iCloud Photo Library beta is turned on), your most recent photos are uploaded to iCloud and appear in All Photos in the Photos app.
Note: When iCloud Photo Library beta and My Photo Stream are enabled on your iOS 8.1 device, your recent photos will upload to My Photo Stream but new photos from devices without iCloud Photo Library beta will not be imported.
To conserve storage space, My Photo Stream keeps only your latest 1000 photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. On your Mac and Windows computers, every picture from your photo stream can be automatically downloaded and kept permanently.
You can also set up your Mac and Windows computers so your new photos appear in a My Photo Stream album. Your computer has more storage than your iOS device and can automatically import all photos from My Photo Stream to your photo library.
If you take photos with burst mode or image stabilization, only the photos you select as favorites when using burst mode, and the final composite image shot with image stabilization, are added to My Photo Stream. If you want all burst-mode photos uploaded to My Photo Stream and your iPhone has iOS 7.1 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Settings > Photos & Camera), then turn on Upload Burst Photos.
Note: To prevent unintended or excessive use, My Photo Stream limits the number of photos and videos that can be uploaded within a given hour, day, or month. For more information, see the Apple Support article My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing Limits.

Not all selected pictures are shared in album sharing in Photostream

I am trying to share an album with my friends on photostream. After i selected the album, added the friends, and waited for ever to upload the pictures, I realized that not all the pictures are available on the shared album. So i had to go back again and check the photos one by one to see what has been uploaded and what is missing to reupload them manually. This can get very tiring in large albums.
I guess mmy question is this:
Why is it doing that ? and how can i avoid such behaviour?
Is there a way that i can monitor / check the photos uploaded to make sure that the full album is there online ?

Hello Karim Zaafan,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I was thinking that it might be a good idea to see if perhaps you are bumping up to the limits of Shared Photo Streams.
iCloud: Photo Stream limits

The current Shared Photo Stream hourly and daily limits are as follows:
Maximum number of photos to share per hour: 1,000

Maximum number of comments per shared stream photo: 200 (a comment can be either a like or a text entry)
Maximum characters per comment: 200
Maximum number of invites a shared stream owner may send per day: 200
Also I would recommend this precautionary step from iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Cheers,
Sterling
