Titels in photostream

The titels I added in iPhoto do not transfer to photostream. How do I do that?

  • Aperture for newbies - folders, projects, Photostream...

    Hi,
    I like to ask some newbie questions about Aperture.
    1) How to use folders, projects etc? Let's say I made hiking tour for several days, do I make a project for each day or for the whole trip? Or do I just put the several "day-projects" into one folder?
    2) What are albums for? Just for presentation purposes (e.g. put all photos from the hiking tour that I want to show to my friends into the album and sort bad pictures etc out)?
    3) How do I use Photostream? New photos are downloaded to e.g. Jan 2013 project. Do I now move them into new projects (referring to 1) here to know how to seperate)? Does Aperture recognize that the image is already known or will it download it again do Jan 2013? What happens when I delete an image, will it be redownloaded from Photostream?
    4) When to use dia show (hope this is how it is called in the english version)? Would I put it in an album?
    5) A book means a physical book which I could order from Apple with the chosen photos?
    6) What for is the light table?
    Sorry for that newbie stuff, I didn't found a tutorial that satisfied me.
    Cheers

    Willkommen, Phil!
    I second Frank Caggiano's suggestions - Kirby's User tip and the Aperture 3: User Manual are great starting points.
    1) How to use folders, projects etc? Let's say I made hiking tour for several days, do I make a project for each day or for the whole trip? Or do I just put the several "day-projects" into one folder?
    Aperture will have no problems, if you put thousands of images into one single project, but it will be difficult for you. Projects are easier and faster to browse if you keep them small - it would be tedious to scroll through thousands of images. The common recommendation, following Kirby's advice, is "one project - one shoot".
    When I am travelling, I create a folder for each trip, with folders  inside for each destination, and for each day at the destination a project.
    Folders are very convenient to hide and collapse large parts of the library quickly. There is one folder "Family", one folder "Computer Graphics", one folder "Lectures", one folder "Travel". When I am working on "Travel" projects, I collaps all other folders.
    2) What are albums for? Just for presentation purposes (e.g. put all photos from the hiking tour that I want to show to my friends into the album and sort bad pictures etc out)?
    Albums help you to organize your images for special tasks. Lets say, when you return from your hiking trip you want to order prints for your fellow travellers. You then simply drag the images you want to share with your friends to albums, one album for each friend. Albums do not hold duplicates of your images, they simply reference the image in the project. You can have the same image in several albums.
    Albums can be seen as collections of images that are related in some way. If you tag all images showing a tiger with the keyword "tiger", you can create a smart album with all images tagged "tiger", and if you have a keyword "slideshow" you can create a smart album holding all images you want to consider for a tiger slideshow by defining a smart rule: keyword is "tiger" and "keyword is slideshow".
    4) When to use dia show (hope this is how it is called in the english version)? Would I put it in an album?
    The English term for the German word "Diaschau" is slideshow. When you create a slideshow you start by selecting a preliminary set of images you want to include, and yes, you can do that in an album or smart album, then you select all images and use the command "File > New > Slideshow".
    This will create a slideshow album, where you can arrange the sequence of images in a filmstrip, define transitions and titels, and add music clips. You can choose between different themes, from very basic presentations to elabor te presentations with so many effects, that nobody will pay attention to your pictures, because they will be stunned by the effects
    5) A book means a physical book which I could order from Apple with the chosen photos?
    Yes, a book will create a pdf file, that can be printed as a hardcover or softcover book by Apple, or you can print the pdf on your own. Again you can select between a variety of themes, or use plug-ins to send your book to another printing service.
    6) What for is the light table?
    The light table lets you compare images side by side. You can arrange and scale them freely in the light table viewer - like on the old "Diasortierpult" used for viewing and arranging transparencies. You can use it to print your layout.
    Good luck with your Aperture projects. Feel free to post back, if you have more questions.
    Regards

  • TS3989 My 5th gen ipod touch was stolen.  I removed the device from my iTunes account, but their pictures still show up on the photostream on the one I purchased to replace it.  How do I get this to stop, the cops have no interest in their faces, nor do I

    My 5th gen iPod touh was stolen a month ago.  I immediately removed that device from my account and yet today I looked at my photostream and there are tons of pics of these people on my photostream.  How do I get this to stop?!?

    Change your iCloud ID password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624.  After doing so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter.  How do I fix that?

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • How can i use one iCloud Photostream on 2 devices?

    Due to a bug (or feature) on iOS 8 i can't use the same icloud id on 2 iphones:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6536998
    So how can i use ONE iCloud Photostream then on 2 devices?
    Also, on OSX i can define only one Photostream.
    So, how do you import pictures from 2 streams into iPhoto?
    Familyshare is not usefull as the pictures are not in Original-Filesize!

  • How to get Photostream from 'business' iPhone to 'family' iCloud-account

    Has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    There must be numerous pleople having this same problem :
    I have a (in my opinon rather standard) setup in which I have a private iCloud-account on my 'business devices' (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro) and I have a shared iCloud-account on our 'family' Mac.
    Now I would like to arrange things the way that's most logical to me :
    I want my business devices to sync the more 'business-like' iCloud services :
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    (Bookmarks is less important)
    Documents & Data
    Back to My Mac
    Find My Mac
    iTunes Store
    Mac App Store
    But I want my business devices to Photostream to our 'family' Mac's, since that's the device where our (only complete) iPhoto-library is on...
    Now there seems to be no way to do so since :
    - iCloud automatically uses the same iCloud-account for Photostream, Documents & Data, Back to My Mac and Find My Mac (only for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, iTunes and Mac App Store it is optional to use a different iCloud-account)
    - setting up my business iCloud-account as the secondary iCloud-account on all my business devices would be completely un-logical and would not allow me to keep (especially) my Documents & Data 'business' ; they will be visible on our 'family' Mac, which is completely off bounds for my employer and my clients...
    Has anyone found a solution to this ?
    (or will this be solved in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion maybe ?)
    options I have thought about, but I couldn't get working yet :
    - running a second installation of iPhoto on our 'family' Mac
    - running both iPhoto and Aperture on our 'family' Mac
    - getting the Photostream from my 'business' iCloud.com into our 'family' Mac by subscribing to the URL
    - setting up one-and-the-same Eye-Fi account on my 'business' iPhone & iPad and on our 'family' Mac
    - searching for a 3rd-party Mac-app that can read and/or import the 'business' Photostream info our 'family' iPhoto
    - something involving Photoshop Elements 10 Organiser...
    Any help would be helpful.
    Thanks !

    Thank you for your reply Winston.
    very interesting info, too bad however that Dropbox doesn't do auto-import into iPhoto...
    I might have figured out a way to do this using Eye-Fi (free account, free iOS-app & free Mac-app ; by SanDisk) :
    Eye-Fi seems to do auto-upload from iPhone/iPad, auto-transfer to a Mac (over WiFi, and if needed even over 3G it seems), and auto-import into iPhoto...
    ...it can even handle video upload (which iCloud Photostream can't) 
    and it has 'free temporary online viewing' with Eye-Fi View (which is kind-of like MobileMe Gallery...)
    (and some payed extensions that are less interesting in my opinion)
    ...I'm testing right now if Eye-Fi works for me.
    (Maybe I still need to combine it with Dropbox's auto-upload though...)
    Thanks !
    Note : Eye-Fi even has an option to upload to MobileMe... too bad MobileMe is no longer available... hopefully there will be integration with iCloud in the near future...

  • Multiple apple IDs with one PC... can we have separate PhotoStream folders/locations?

    There are six iphone users in our household.  Four are still using the family PC.  I have been using PhotoStream ever since it became available (ios5 update?) and I like using it.  Can my children also use PhotoStream from their iphones without mixing all of our photos together on the PC?  They each have their own Apple ID.

    Hello Robyn,
    Thank you for providing the details of your predicament.  Your household may benefit from having multiple user accounts on the PC to individually manage your photos and media. 
    I recommend reviewing the section titled "Create multiple user accounts" in the following article:

  • I can no longer get Photostream to work.

    I read somewhere that the only way to delete photos from photostream  was to turn it off, so I did.  I turned it off in the iCloud settings, then when the set up Photostream screen came up in iPhoto, I said "No Thanks."  Is there anything I can do to get it back?  Help!

    Never mind.  I just figured it out.  If you can't tell, I'm new to Mac.

  • How would an Apple fan keep unwanted images out of Photostream in IOS 8?

    So Apple decides that people don't need an uncluttered thumbnail view of all photos stored in their iPhone in IOS 8. And the UI geniuses also decide that the concept of cloud (aka "server side" in 90's terms) storage and local storage is just too much for the average iPhone user to grasp.
    The UI design choices that sprung from this mindset have reduced usability, efficiency, but more importantly the family friendly reputation that Apple trades on in nearly all of their marketing material.
    Finding images (particularly when you have thousands) in the Years/Collections/Moments(Maps too!) paradigm is ridiculously inefficient compared to a scrolling screen with rows upon rows of thumbnails touching each other in chronological order. Of course we can quibble about whether the chronology should be based on file creation dates or EXIF metadata but those are decisions that we don't get in the IOS world (yes, another complaint). My main point here is that they had no reason to get rid of Camera Roll. Why can't it exist alongside the YCMM world of dates/locations and useless search tools? Let's face it, the new Recently Added Album is just a silly smart folder as are all the other albums. Why can't I change the 30 day date range to one of my choosing? Or why can't I add what Apple would call a Smart Album into my Albums just as I can add Cro-Mag dumb albums that need constant updating? This would bring back that good old Camera Roll functionality so people not confused by cloud vs local and like to keep track of their original image files could be happy. And the people that need Simple would be happy too.
    But back to my original query. I use my iPhone for many purposes including work. I also take iPhone screenshots for work. I also take a lot of pictures and not all of those images should be in my family and sharing oriented personal Photostream. After all Apple, you sold me an Apple TV which I can fire up and share my recent life experiences with others. Why the heck would I want product photography, conference room whiteboard pics, iPhone wallpaper, and all the different images that are not the "selects" but that I want to archive using Lightroom or iPhoto anyway showing up IN MY FAMILY SLIDESHOWS? One of the benefits of digital imaging is the cheap cost of creating and storing many images. I use my iPhone often as I would a DSLR and I frequently shoot many images that are very similar, sometimes using burst mode in the phone. Why would you force me to completely delete images that are not "favorites/selects" just so I can maintain a decent slideshow via Photostream? Why do you not want me to have pleasing wallpaper downloaded via the sundry App Store wallpaper apps? Any new wallpaper I add will now be in the Photostream. Yes, family dinner with the Apple TV slideshow showing images of cars, puppies, clouds, and abstract patterns interspersed with the trip to the pool last weekend sure makes for some great viewing!
    This is because you also killed the Photostream album view and I can no longer delete unwanted Photostream images unless I also want to completely delete the image local to the iPhone. If you go to the YCMM (Years/Collections/Moments/Maps) Photo tab there is no way to treat the local image separately from the cloud based Photostream image. This is absurd. You can't pitch Photostream as a lifestyle feature since you now prevent editing and curating this very audience specific collection of images. It's as if you forgot that a huge number of iPhone users are creative professionals! And we use our iPhones for professional purposes as well as personal.
    Not to mention that this design choice HUGELY increases the probability of "inappropriate" photos being uploaded to the cloud and lost control over through hacking or just user misunderstanding of how iCloud and Photostream works. Amazing that Apple would do this considering the recent scandal.
    So now I'll answer my own original question with a lame "workaround" answer. And yes, it involves a lot more work as opposed to the couple of touches that I used frequently in IOS 7 and earlier to curate my Photostream right on my iPhone: You have to have another IOS device (pre IOS 8) and delete the images from Photostream from there. Or use iPhoto to do the same. So add yet another task to your Reminders app that is now much more of a hassle.
    Apple, for the love of Pete, please don't take away control over my source image files and my ability to create collections of images for different purposes.
    Thanks.

    Excellently well put and accurate. The answer of course is that Apple want us to rent vast lumps of storage from them. Your point about appropriate images is well made. It's not just **** either but maybe legitimate images that you don't want shared out in the world, such as your wife and daughters caught on camera whilst sunbathing topless in the security of a private villa on holiday. That could prove embarrassing to them if they found their way out into the public domain, easily done by accident from a phone. The fact is that Apple have decided for pure commercial gain to take control of our means of controlling and storing our images. I shoot mainly portraits of my extended family and Landscapes. I don't want to share my images across mobiles etc, I want to sell them or give them to family members myself . Apple you are losing the plot here and alienating your core supporters.

  • Iphone 6 videos can't be viewed on ipad photostream

    I have an iPhone 6 running iOS8.1.2. I have an iPad4 running iOS8.1.3. I extracted my iPhone 6 video to my PC and tried to sync it into iPad4. However I can't seem to find the video in the iPad 4 photostream. Do anyone have a similar problem?

    Thanks. did some further experimenting. I tried to downconvert my iPhone 6 video from 1080p (1920 by 1080) video to 720p (mov) before I sync it with Itunes to iPad. It worked. I can see the 720p video in photos.
    2nd experiment: i tried to convert 1080p video from native mov format to 1080p DivX mp4 format. Similarly, this also could not be seen in iPad.
    I came to the strange conclusion that iPad4 can't show 1080p videos?? sounds very strange...
    Any help is appreciated pls. This is driving me crazy.

  • How can I move some files (but not all) in the photostream folder on my PC to another folder on the PC?

    I have photostream set up on my PC and all photos in both mine and shared photostreams are successfully being synced to my PC automatically. However, my goal is to navigate to the photostreams on my PC and be able to move them and edit the photos with other software I have. I'd like to move more one at a time as I have 100's. This would help me better sort them as well as free up some much needed space on my iCloud account as I don't need all these photos available at all times, but also don't want to lose them. Is there a way that I can do this? I really appreciate any help I can get.

    Your my photo stream folder should operate the same way other folders do.  First go to the iCloud control panel for Windows and click Options next to Photo Stream.  Here, note you photo steam location (listed at the bottom).  Navigate to the photo stream folder at that location, then open the my photo stream folder inside.  Right-click on the my photo stream folder, select copy, navigate to a location of your choice, then right-click and select paste.  Click on the copied folder, press your F2 key and rename it something like Photo Stream Backup.  Then you should be all set.

  • Why are photostream photos on phone not going into photostream folder on PC?

    I have an Iphone 4s. I am a new user.  I have 518 photos in my photostream (PS) according to my phone. I have chosen the appropriate settings - like my photostream is on under the iCloud setting and wifi automatically connects when it's in range.  Also under iCloud settings and Storage & Backup, iCloud Backup is on and I told it to backup (with it plugged in and locked as instructed). I installed the iCloud control panel on my PC-Windows Vista this evening for the first time.  Now there are about 35 photos in my PC's photostream folder.  I did the iCloud back up on my phone again.  Same 35 photos in the PC's folder.  Why aren't all 518 photos in the folder?  Should there be a delay?  Should I leave my phone on, my PC on, and the wifi connected all night to see what happens?  I don't get it!

    I just noticed the post has me down as running windows 7. I have a iMac running mountain lion.

  • How to Automatically Backup Photos to Windows PC HDD from Photostream

    I have iCloud and Photo Stream up and running on my Windows 8 PC.  I want to save space on my iPhone and iPad SSDs and backup photos from my PhotoStream to my Windows PCs hard drive for archiving and then delete the photos from my camera roll on iPhone & iPad.  Apple states that it automatically imports every PhotoStream photo to your PC if you have it set up.  I have found a ton of confusion about this issue searching the forum and Google about this issue and do not know what to believe.  Apple states that it automatically backs up photos to a PC HDD here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html under the Master Photo Library section.
    1) Are the pictures under the Pictures > My Pictures > Photostream > My Photo Stream saved there permenatly?   Or are they removed after the 30 day/1000 photo limit?  The file path says they are on the hard drive and not on the web.
    2) If they are not saved there permently, are they saved permenatly somewhere else?
    3) If this is just how the Photostream works, then how can I have these photos automatically backed up to my Windows PC hard drive so I can delete them from my iOS devices.  If this is not included in the Photostream on PC service, what other software can I use to do this automatically once a picture is on PhotoStream?  Am I reading the apple.com/icloud web site incorrectly?
    HELP!  lol Thanks in advance!

    The 30 day limit is how long they remain in iCloud, not on your devices.  After 30 days, photo stream photos are removed from iCloud and are no longer available to download to any new device connecting to your photo stream.
    A rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will stay on your iOS devices until your delete them.  When you delete them from photo stream on any of your devices, they are deleted everywhere.  If you plan to do this, copy the photos from your photo stream folder on your computer to another location first.
    Apple's documentation is a bit unclear about whether or not the 1000 photo limit applies to a PC (they can be set to automatically import to an iPhoto library on a Mac where they are not deleted).*  As you device approaches 1000 photos, you might want to take some test photos to cross this limit to see if the earliest photos are deleted from your computer.
    *From (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486):
    "Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream."
