Viewing Photos in I Photo 10.6

I am able to view my photos in the library as thumbnails, but when I try to enlarge them my computer freezes with a spinning beach ball cursor. The photos were brought into the computer using Canon software and I imported them into I Photo.
What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Some things to try:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
4, Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Everytime I try and sign into my iCloud account it tells me I can't log in due to a server error, but there is nothing wrong with my server . It also wont allow me to view any of my Photos or Documents that i have backed up.

Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

When I back up my I phone 5s or my ipad2 camera roll, contacts and documents does this save in the cloud all to view even if a photo has been removed from camera roll?

If she wants backups then she will need something like this: Seagate Wireless Plus.

HT5043 So I was a little skeptical about deleting photos from my iPhone but I did. Shouldn't I be able to access them on iCloud? Because I can't find a way to view all my old photos that were backed up before I deleted them.

No you can not access yoru photos on iCloud
PhotoStream is a way to share photos between devices - it is not a way to backup photos or to view photos

Viewing Shared Libraries in Photo Browser

Is there any way to view shared libraries in photo browser, so I can more easily mail photos using the Mail app, not the iPhoto mailer? All I want is to see the shared library in the mail photo browser, without having to export, import, and all kinds of other hassles.

You can certainly create a library on an external drive or have multiple libraries, though only one (system library) will sync with iCloud Photo library, though I assume that is per user - not sure how it might affect things if you are using differernt iCloud credentials.

You must of missed me asking precisely that.
emwoody, I don't even see a DVD player on your TV. But you do have an USB and SD card reader.
Simply just add some pictures to an USB thumb drive or SD card. Then stick them into the TV. The Media Player should start to load automatically, I believe my TV does. But if not, hit the Viera Tools and select Media Player. From there you should be able to scan through your pictures.
Check out page 36 for the Media Player information.

How do I view my pics on photos on my iPhone 5s by title, not by date created?

How do I view my pics on photos on my iphone by title and not by date created?
When I uploaded my pics from "Events" in iphoto it all transfered to my iphone. The folders are in order (sorted by numbers), but the content of the folders are arranged by date created, not by title. How do I fix this?
Anyone knows? Thanks much.

You still can (kind of).
If you open the Photos app and you are in Albums, tap Photos. In Photos, pictures are auto-grouped as Events based on location and date. If you see the location listed, that is tappable. Tap it, and that reveals the map where the photos were taken.
The one thing I don't know is how to see all photos by location. Because the most you can zoom out by time is Years, which means you can only see all photos taken by location within a single year, but not all years. I hope there's a way that I just haven't learned yet.

Unable to view camera roll in photos app

Trying to view camera roll in "photos app" and the greyed area and title "Albums" is covering up, over top of the Camera Roll area so I cannot select it to view it?
I can view the camera roll in my camera app no problem but not in the Photos app that came with Iphone 4. any suggestions?

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

I have a Nikon Coolpix P510 and with Picasa I am not able to view videos or continous photos. Before I purchase Adobe Lightroom I want to know if I am able to view those features?

The best thing to do is download the trial of Lightroom and see if it works for you. The trial is the complete program. The only thing different about the trial is that it expires after thirty days. Your images stay in the folders you already have so there's little risk. Good luck!

Can't see event titles or project titles when looking at photos in the photo view in Aperture 3?

Howdy,
I recently switched from iPhoto 11 to Aperture 3. The only drawback so far is I am unable to view Project Titles when I am viewing all of my photos in the photo view. In iPhoto, I often would look at all of my photos in photo view while displaying the event titles. Is this possible in Aperture? Also, is there a simple way to view the file names underneath the photos in photo view instead of seeing the version name?

Hi Greg. Welcome to Aperture and the Apple Aperture users forum.

You should set up all seven of the Metadata Overlays to meet your needs. (iPhoto is designed as a turn-key operation for those who prefer their meals prepared; Aperture is a kitchen for those who like to cook.)

Have you looked at Projects View (click "Projects" at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector)? You can group your Projects by Folder or by Year, and you can sort them in a number of ways. There is no information pane which shows up on Aperture as you scroll (as there is in iPhoto).
Projects View, imho, add tremendous functionality to Aperture. You can add descriptions to your Projects (and these are included in searches) via the Projects Information window ("{Shift}+i" with a Project selected.)

How does one enlarge the view of a small photo?

Sometimes I just need to quickly retouch a small, non-pro photo, but the photo's only displayed at its original size. Sometimes I just want to enlarge it temporarly, while performing the retouch.
I realize the enlarged photo won't be sharp, etc -- but it's not permanent; it's just so I can hone in on an element in the photo. I thought I could use the standard, Mac-keyboard shortcuts (⌘+ and ⌘-) to adjust the display of a small photo, but so far, there seeems to be absolutely no way to do this. If the photo is small, it stays that way, no matter what.
Am I missing something?

Thanks, SierraDragon, for the suggestion. It was a good suggestion, and it worked, but it wasn't easy.... (No reflection upon you, but upon the nature of Aperture.)
I created a light table, then it took me 3 or 4 minutes to figure out how to get a photo to display on the light table. After dragging one to the light table icon on the left, I saw it in a list at the bottom, but it was unclear how to get it to display. Eventually I figured out that I had to drag it yet a 3rd time, from that list to the actual table.
After that, I was further confused by the fact that I'd moved the zoom slider (on the light table) all the way to the right, but the photo was still not being displayed above 100%. Finally, it occurred to me to drag one of the "handles" at the corner of the photo and drag to enlarge it.
So that's a total of 6, separate steps -- including the creation of a "light table" -- just to get a small photo into Aperture and to zoom in upon it. Unreal.
I still don't understand why a photo from the desktop can't simply be dropped over Aperture's dock icon. Just getting photos into Aperture is complicated.
I'm a huge Apple fan and supporter, but this has to be the most unintuitive application they've ever released. I wonder if Aperture was originally developed by, then purchased from, another company (just as Logic was, which explains why Logic is so convoluted, as well).
I bought Aperture because I thought it would be like "iPhoto Pro." But it's really a different beast, all together. I love the advanced editing features, but Aperture's too convoluted for me to abandon iPhoto. I find I don't like launching Aperture, because it's too difficult to accomplish simple tasks in Aperture.
I've submitted this issue, among others, as feedback. But I fear that there aren't enough Aperture users submitting these issues for them to be deemed important.
Thanks again.

HT201317 How do I view all photos from my photo stream on my PC?

When talking to an Apple employee, they stated that I had 374 photos in my photo stream but when bringing it up on my PC under pictures/photostream I can only get 114. Why can't I get the other 260 photos?

If your system meets the iCloud system requirements for photo stream (OS X 10.7.2 or later and iPhoto '11 9.2 or later or Aperture 3.4), you can sign into your iCloud account and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. This will import photo stream photos added in the last 30 days. To import ealier photos you would need to create a shared photo stream that included these photos and invite yourself, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.
Another option is to save them to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac using your USB cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
ERROR MESSAGE:
Photo Stream
Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button.
WHAT I NEED:
How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
What I've tried:
I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
I have photo stream checked.
I have my photo stream checked
I have shared photo stream checked.
I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
MY SET UP:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
4gb of RAM
iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
