Uploading photos from iPhoto to Photo Stream

Hi, I'm trying to upload photos from iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) on my iMac onto Photo Stream. It's a set of 43 imported directly into iPhoto from a USB stick, so not taken on any iOS device connected to the same iCloud account.
Photo Stream is enabled in iPhoto and is working fine with the preferences I've selected - I'm not using automatic upload for all new photos.
I've selected and dragged the photos from their Event in iPhoto onto Photo Stream in the sidebar under RECENT. This behaves as I would expect and when I select Photo Stream and look at the contents it says Uploading 43 photos to the right of the title at the top of the Photo Stream window. However it said that 15hrs ago and they're still not there!
The only thing I can think of is whether the date the photos were taken (19-Feb-13) is relevant - they were updloaded on the 12-Apr-13.
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find anything out there that alreadyprovided a solution.

If you have your iPhoto/Photo Stream setup as shown in this screenshot
you can delete the photos from the Photo Stream and they will be safe in your iPhoto LIbrary.
But I would check each monthly Photo Stream Event in the library to confirm that they are safely in the Event before deleting from the Photo Stream.

    Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

    how do I drag photos from iphoto to photo stream?

    Simply select the photo or photos you wish to add to photo stream from the album you are viewing and drag them onto the photo stream listing under the 'recent' heading on the left-hand side of iPhoto when you see a blue box surrounding the listing drop the photos you have dragged.
    Alternatively, select the photos and use the 'share' button in the bottom right corner of iPhoto and choose photo stream from the list that appears.

  • HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
    What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

  • Upgraded to Yosemite how do I get my photos from IPhoto to Photos?

    I did not realize when I took the Yosemite upgrade that IPhoto would no longer work.  How do I get my photos into the new Photos application?
    So far no luck.

    Actually... you need to hold down the "option" key while starting  up Photos... Then follow the steps to select the iPhoto library... You should copy the iPhoto library to the Pictures folder (from the iPhoto folder) and it will convert it and you'll be up and running in a short bit... If your library is large, it can take quite a while to convert and load... be patient.... real patient! but it does work! This method will leave both versions useable, and at some point you'll want to delete the iPhoto stuff (to save space on the hard drive, if nothing else..) I copied my working iPhotos library onto an external hard disk, then used the "App Delete Lite" app to make an archived zip file on the same external drive.... in case I ever need to go back to the iPhotos option... It worked great!

  • How do I import photos from iphoto to photos?

    I'd just like to know how to import my photos from the iPhoto app to the new photo app?

    I had the same issue.  When I started up the Photos app it did not automatically start the import from my iPhoto library like it did on my work Mac.  Turns out the Photos app was seeing two iPhoto libraries.  One on my main disk and one on my Carbon Copy back-up disk.   I quite the Photos app and restarted this time holding down the Option-Alt key.  This allowed me to select the correct iPhoto Library for importing.
    As a side note after I quite the Photos app I moved the Photos library to the trash (since I did not start using it yet) so that I would not get a Photos Library 2 file.

  • IPhoto 04 can't show photos from iPhoto 06 photo DVD?

    On my iBook is still iPhoto 04, it takes photos on photo CDs only when they were created in iPhoto 04, newer burned CDs or DVDs with iPhoto 05 or iPhoito 06 doesn't load as photo CD in the sources area. Any ideas?

    Hi, c.a.b. Older versions of iPhoto can't read iPhoto Libraries that were created by newer versions, because the structure of the iPhoto Library has changed from version to version to provide new features and greater flexibility. To receive photos on CDs from an iPhoto 5 or iPhoto 6 user, you'll need to ask the sender to export the pictures from iPhoto and then burn the CD in the Finder — just as they would do when sending photos to a Windows user. You will then be able to import the pictures into iP 4 with no problem.

  • HT204655 Photos App crashes every time I try to migrate my photos from iPhoto

    I just installed the Yosemite update and the Photos App.  Every time I try to migrate my photos from iPhoto the Photos App crashes at about 20% complete.  Is there a work around for this?

    Have you tried the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on your Library?
    If you don't have a current backup, make a backup of your iPhoto Library and then run the  iPhoto Library First Aid Tools   to repair the permissions and to repair the database.
    To repair hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto application in the Applications folder  to launch the iPhotos Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    The select "Repair database".  Repeat with "repair Permissions".
    If it still does not suffice, repeat with "Rebuild Library".
    If it still does not work, download our Swiss-Army.Knife for library emergencies: Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager
    The free trial option will let you rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    Then try to migrate the rebuilt library to photos.
    You do have enough free storage on the disk with the iPhoto Library?  Migrating needs temporarily additional storage.

  • I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

    I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid."  I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac.  This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5.  I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
    This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others.  I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
    I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto.  I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
    I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient.  Thank you.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

       I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type  in my
    email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message:  your email did not go through
    because your server did not reply.    Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to  doublecheck.  Why will it not
    send out to other email addresses?  Thank you.

    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there.  Now add it back and try again.
    A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane.  The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.

  • Why can't I upload photos from iPhoto to an email in gmail?

    The folder where the file is located will not show in finder when trying to choose photos to upload to a gmail email.

    Upload directly from iPhoto. Select your photos and then select Share. iPhoto questions are best handled in the iPhoto forum of all places.

  • I am no longer able to upload photos from iphoto to Facebook. The "publish" button is now "grayed out."  Any suggestions?

    I am no longer able to upload photos from iphoto to Facebook. The "publish" button is now "grayed out."  Any suggestions?

    The window doesn't automatically pop up now. When you plug the card reader in, you should see a 4th option on the lower bar of the photos app. I think it says camera. Tap on that then you can see and inport your photos.
    If you are still having issues, try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. It won't hurt any data but can clear gliches.

    How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.
