TS3989 Aperture freezes on sharing photos with iCloud

I wanted some control over the photos that appear in my Photo Stream when I'm using Apple TV. I created an Album in Aperture, then placed a selection of photos into the album. I created a Photo Stream on iCloud and when I select all the photos and drop them on the iCloud icon, I get a dialogue box, offering some configuration options in iCloud.
When I click 'OK' Aperture freezes. I can access the application menu to quit, but I can't use any other apps on my computer - the selected photos remain unmovable, in the foreground. Two photos actually copied to the Photo Stream.
When I repeated the exercise, the same two photos are duplicated in the Photos Stream. I deleted the stream and tried again - same result.

I had to create TIFF files for 30 fotos or so. The other 50 did not pose a problem. I am still not 100% clear why this is. I suspect this has to do with having those photos coming from iPhoto and then imported into Aperture.
Before I hit this issue, I just re-installed Mavericks, because I experienced hanging situations. Mail would have hanging threads ("waiting for semaphore"). Basically after 20 hours or so, apps that use the cloud would all be hanging. There was no way to get this going again, apart from a reboot.
So I decided to reinstall Mavericks.
After the new installation I noticed that some iCloud streams were not visible in Aperture, that is where I created that missing stream and started to copy the photos to it. And that is where I encountered this hang issue in Aperture.
Retrospectively, I suspect the hanging apps were also caused by this.
So for people who experience hanging iCloud apps, try to delete all photostreams and re-set them. If you notice that Aperture becomes unresponsive, Quit Aperture and re-start it. Then right click on the photo and select "edit the photo in an external program". This will create a TIFF version of the photo that caused Aperture to become unresponsive when copying it to the photostream. Reject the original photo and copy the TIFF to the photostream.
Do this will all photos that cause Aperture to become unresponsive when you copy them to a photostream.
Don't forget to rebuild Aperture's database by holding command-option while clicking the Aperture icon. After rebuilding, you will find a lost folder with the fotos that were in the stream.
You may have to re-create the stream after all "bad" photos have been identified and the re-build was successful and then copy all photos in one go.
Good luck.

When sharing photos with iCloud the geotags disappear, how do I get the location?

The place where a photo was taken is displayed in Photos but not in the shared folder, when pictures are shared with iCloud the information just isn't there. It's not from the settings, everything is enabled. I have no idea why it doesn't work properly but it's of no use to me to share pictures with someone if we don't know where the other person's photos have been taken. Am I missing something? How do I get someone else's photos with their geotags?

Use View -> Status bar ; and click on it so the tick/check mark appears.
Note in the next version firefox 4 the status bar is being replaced see [[What happened to the Status Bar?]], and if you want something similar you will then need to use an add-on.

Trouble sharing photos with iCloud

I am trying to share photos from my wife's iPad mini to my iMac using iCloud.
I created an album with about 20 photos on her iPad and shared it using my email. I received the email invitation on my iMac to subscribe to her album. I double clicked and there is now an icon in iMac iPhoto>iCloud>Family and Friends' Streams with the name of the album from the iPad.
However, there are no photos in the new icon. I have enabled iCloud>Photos>iCloud Photo Sharing in System Preferences on both the iMac and the iPad.
Why aren't the photos showing up in the iMac iPhoto?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello Crosso10
As long as you have iCloud Control Panel installed on your computer, they should show up in your Pictures folder under My Photo Stream.

Sharing contacts with icloud

My iPad2 and iphone4s are no longer sharing contacts with icloud. I have checked everything I can think of. Please help

Thanks, both were checked, but I decided to turn off contacts on on the iPad, kept contacts, then turned on again. That worked at least so far. Thanks for helping me get my brain working!!

I've shared photos with my brother, and now we have both lost all photos, is it to do with the update?

- What OS is on your computer? you say you have Windows 98. That I think is the problem.
- Are you importing the photos by:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If not how?
the .ithmp are thumbnails, not the full photo

Sharing photos to iCloud with Aper 3.6 no longer works

Hello:
It appears that the option to share photos to iCloud from within Aperture no longer works (option is there but is greyed out). I think this occurred sometime during the recent update cycles to Yosemite and IOS but I haven't used it for some time so I'm not sure. All I'm doing is selecting my photo and hitting share->iCloud which has worked well in the past. I can see a fair amount of chatter about this and/or similar issues but I haven't been able to discern if anyone has come up with a solution.
Any help / comments appreciated

Using Yosemite and Aper 3.6 on a late 2009 27 iMac (need a new one....soon)

I believe I may have misspoke, was thinking about something else.
You've probably been thinking of iCloud Photo Library (Beta) , see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support . That is a real killer .
iTunes Photo Sync will no longer upload photos to iOS 8 devices - iTunes will just show a prompt, that photos can now be uploaded using iCloud.
My Photo Steam will no longer upload to iOS devices from the Macs. That is, what many users have reported, but I do not know any Apple Support document that confirms it.
On iOS 8 devices is the Camera Roll no longer visible.
The only ways I know to upload from the Mac to iOS devices with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) active, is Mail, Dropbox, or https://www.icloud.com/#photos.

TS3989 how can i see photos in iCloud?

how can i see the photos from photo stream on icloud.com?

There is no web application for Photo Stream, so you can to use your photos on icloud.com.
You can view your photos:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

Sharing photos on iCloud

I shared some photos recently with streaming with my sisters. I tried to add some photos and resend them as sharing through streaming, and it comes up with this:
Does this mean my email username and password or what. I haven't changed anything since the last time, and I have also signed into my email through the internet web site so as to enter my email and password to see that it is the one that works, and it does, so I don't know what to do about this.
<Email Edited By Host>

I never had MobileMe, but I have used the sharing feature in iCloud. The official name is called "Shared Photo Streams". It will only be viewable by someone running iOS 6 or later and the latest version of iPhoto (it may work on PC, but not sure).
Set up on Mac:
1) Open iPhoto
2) On the left toolbar, select "Photos"
3) Select all the photos you want to share
4) Select "Share" at the bottom left of the window
5) Click Photo Stream
6) Here you can add them to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one
For a new one, just finish following the on screen instructions
Set up on iOS device (requires 6.0 or later):
1) Go to the Photos app
2) Select "Photos" from the toolbar at the top
3) Click "Edit" at the top right
4) Select the photos you wish to share
5) Click "Share"
6) Click "Photo Stream"
7) Here you can add the selected photos to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one.
For a new one, follow the rest of the on screen instructions

Sharing photos with Apple TV

Since updating to iTunes v.11.3 I have been unable to share my Aperture photos with my Apple TV. After Home Sharing has been turned on I try to choose which photos to share. The Photos Sharing Preferences window opens and the little gear begins to turn and turn and turn and turn... It never shows my photos lists.
I've tried repairing permissions, rebooting my computer, quiting and restarting iTunes, and quiting and restarting Home Sharing.
Any ideas!

I've solved the problem.
In Photos, Select Preferences. In the General Tab, make sure that the path to your external Photos library shows in the Library Location. Then click on the Use as System Library Photo Library button.
In iTunes 12.1.12, you will now be able to select your specific albums as before.
I updated my Apple TVs to the latest updates.
The specific photo albums can be accessed in Apple TV now.

How do Lightroom users manage sharing photos with family?

I'm just looking for some best practices about how to handle the workflow of sharing photos. Obviously the Lightroom user doesn't want family members to start messing around with the photos outside of Lightroom, and if the photos are not JPGs family members might not be able to view them anyway. One solution I can think of is to shoot all photos in JPG and in Camera Raw at the same time and save the JPGs to a folder available to everyone and only import the Camera Raw ones into Lightroom.

This is a possible solution, but by doing this, family members will not be able to see changes you applied to the photos from within LR.
Another option would be to export your LR inventory (or parts of it) regularely to a specific folder, where others can access the JPEGs/TIFFs.
In LR 3, this can be somewhat automated by using the Publish Services to harddisk, where only changed photos are exported again a second or successive time.
A different approach could also be LRViewer, which lets you view images in a LR catalog from the previews without accessing the originals and without being able to change anything on them.

Sharing content with iCloud

Not an iCloud user yet but I was wondering that how do I share content with my friends with iCloud? Can I restrict their access to my files somehow? I would only like to share part of my content.

Thanks. I already use Dropbox at work with my work-PC. I was just wondering iCloud for purely personal use since I'm using mac at home. I have no real need to share content with myself but sharing content with other people would seem more useful to me. I'm lazy so I would like to have just one unified cloudservice that would contain all my iTunes purchases and personal files. And since the content is already on cloud then why not share it with my friends. I think it would be quite easy to manage access rights between different Apple ID's. I think this feature would add value to iCloud because right now I am able to sync content between different devices quite easily even without iCloud so it seems a bit useless to me.

IPhoto '11 Sharing Photos with MobileMe Login Error

Hello -
I am using iPhoto '11 on my iMac and when I try to share a photo with my MobileMe account I am prompted for a username and password (I am sure I am using the correct UN / PW) it tells me that it cannot verify me.
BTW - I am not sure if this is related, but I keep getting messages from Safari telling me various xxx.me.com server certificates are invalid and suggesting that someone my be spufing me.

Greetings,
I haven't heard of that issue directly myself, however your mention of the shared wireless network via one Mac's Airport card will not give the best performance compared to an actual wireless router: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB321LL/A
As a quick and simple test:
Turn off the Airport card on both computers (Airport > Turn Airport off)
Shut both computers down (Apple > Shutdown)
Plug the ethernet cable going between your modem and your 1st Mac so that it goes directly from one Mac to the other
Once the ethernet cable is plugged in, turn both computers back on
Launch iPhoto on both systems and test
If it works then I'd say get yourself an actual wireless router as sharing an entire photo library over your network is a relatively stressful activity and it would benefit from a router.
If it doesn't work reply back
Hope that helps.

Backing up photos with iCloud.

I am currently overseas uploading all my photos to my iPad 2 using the camera connection kit. I am wanting to back up all of these photos (about 14gb worth) in case I lose my iPad or if something happens to it. I do not have a computer with me. I am looking in to buying more storage for my iCloud but I am very confused about how it works and if it will actually store all of my photos. I don't care about syncing them to my other devices, I just want to make sure that if something does happen to my iPad ALL my 'all imported' photos will be backed up in iCloud for me to retrieve them on my macbook when I get home.
Can someone please clear this up for me? I have read so many different things and nothing is clear.

If you back up your iPad to iCloud, the backup will include photos stored in the camera roll. The photos will not be accessibile to download or view; they will only be available to restore to your device as part of restoring the entire backup. You would not be able to access the photos contained in the backup on your MacBook when you get home. The backup counts against your iCloud storage space.
Alternatively, if you upload the photos using Photo Stream, you can upload up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days. Photo Stream photos can be accessed via iOS devices and computers signed into the same iCloud account that also have Photo Stream enabled. If your MacBook meets is running OS X 10.7.2 10.7.4 or higher, you will be able download the photos from Photo Stream. This article explains how to set this up on your Mac and other devices: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. Photo Stream photos do not count against your iCloud space. Another thing to be aware of is that photos uploaded to Photo Stream are streamed back to your device to a Photo Stream album, so you will end up using additional storage space on your iPad when you do this. Here's a FAQ on Photo Stream that you may find helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486.
Edit: Your MacBook must be running OS X 10.7.4 or higher to sync it with iCloud and enable Photo Stream.
