What happened to Photo Stream?

After updating to ios8 the photo stream and camera roll albums are gone. I opened iCloud on my computer and it says the photo stream folder is empty (I backed up to iCloud and my computer before I updated). Many photos are visible from the collections area but this is inconvenient. Where is the photo stream and camera roll app?

This is not helpful.. What I am asking is.. Why is the photo stream and camera roll album removed from the album page? I have no way to access my old photos other than through the Photos tab which has them grouped by location and date. Also, I cannot access my photo stream photos on my computer.

What happened with photo stream with new update?

I have a iPhone 4s. I just downloaded the newest iOS 8 update. I do not have separate folders for my camera roll and photo stream. Are all my pictures now going to my photo stream? If so is there a way to choose which photos go to photo stream?

In iOS 8, Apple combined "camera roll and Photo Stream" into "recently added" folder.

Apple TV - what happened to photo streaming?

We use (or we used to use) our Apple TV to stream photos from my computer (iPhoto library) to a TV in our kitchen. The way we did this was to choose Computers, then my computer, then Photos. It was set up to change photos every 5 seconds.
The Photos option no longer appears under Computer any more, since this week's Apple TV update.
Why did they take it away? Can I get it back?

As an update, after restarting the ATV, the Photos entry is back when I click on Computer. But when I attempt to use it, it fails, eventually bringing me back to the main menu.
I can stream photos using the screen saver option, clicking Preview. But using the Photos cannot load more than a few dozen photos at a time (a small album, for example).

HT201317 What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

Photos are deleted from PhotoStream in the cloud after 30 days, regardless of the number of photos stored there.
Once synced to your device, they will remain there indefinitely until you hit 1000 photos in the PhotoStream album on the phone, at which point the oldest photos will be deleted and newer photos will replace them.

HT1229 What happens to photos in an album in iPhoto on Mac when upgrading to Yosemite.

What happens to all the photos in iPhoto when upgrading to Yosemite. My pictures are in an album to be made into a photobook with Shutterfly or another service but it is not entirely ready to go. I would not want to loose this album, took me a long time to gather all these pictures (over 200) , edit them and write captions. I understand that Yosemite will eliminate iPhoto. However, I want to know if they will delete iPhoto even if I do not upgrade as yet.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

What exactly is photo stream?

I have just upgraded to lion on my iMac and had already brought my iphone and ipad up to iso5. I turned on photo stream and a few other things in icloud, like notes, etc, but not contacts or book marks, I don't want all of them from my imac on my phone so I am waiting to see if Apple will change this in a future version.
I open iphoto and saw a picture I wanted to move on to my iphone. So I dragged it to the photo stream on the side bar of iphoto. When I clicked on photo stream, there were already 12 photos in there. Some were photos I had deleted from iphoto on my imac earlier today. I was suprised to see them there and tried to delete them. They would not delete. So I did a search here and see a LOT of questions on how to delete photos from photo stream, most with no answer. I did find where to reset my photo stream, under my name at the top right of icloud when I logged on to icloud on my iMac. But when I go to my iphone and look in photostream, inside photos, there is no way to delete a photo. Also, in itunes on my iMac, photo stream shows up on the left sidebar under recent, but I cannot delete any photos from there. Like others, there are photos in photo stream that I don't want.
Then as I think about it, I am wondering, if we are all a bit confused. Maybe photo stream is JUST a 'pathway' for moving photos between our devices and whatever is in the photo stream, as apples says, sits there for 30 days and then 'falls off' the 'pathway' so to speak, and that the pictures 'live on' in each of our devices, ie the photo library on our iphone and ipad and in iphoto on our home computer (imac, laptop, etc.) It may be that we are all confusing what photo stream is and is not. If it is just a mechanisim (pathway in my description) for moving photos between devices, then it would make some sense that the photos will not delete. They stay there for 30 days to give us time to move them into folders on the i device or the home computer.
My next question is how do photos get INTO photo stream in the first place? does every photo we take with either the iphone or ipad, go into photo stream? And does it also go into the camera roll?

HT4858 What about shared photo streams that's not shared with anyone?

I want to use shared photo streams mainly to keep my albums online and I find it the easiest way.
The article says that the maximum amount of photo stream I can share is 100.
What if I create a photo stream and I share it with no one? Will I be able to create more than 100 photo streams if I don't share them all?
Thanks
Uri

It doesn't matter whether you share your shared album or not, it still counts toward the 100 limit.

What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
Anyone know?

According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so). You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera. Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go). Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic. Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

What happened to photo frame?

What happened to the photo frame app that came with iPad?

If you don't see the Picture Frame on your lock screen, it is possible that you disabled it - if you use a Passcode on your iPad.
Settings>General>Passcode Lock>On. Enter your Passcode. Then check to see if you disabled Picture Frame in the next window.

What happened to photos file that used to show in Mountain Lion finder window?

Mountain Lion and earlier OS X systems used to have a Pictures (maybe it was Photos?) "folder" in the side menu of Finder windows. I recently upgraded to Mavericks and don't remember whether I saw it there or not (I didn't use it a lot, but it was very full of pictures I stored there). Then, I got a new computer and migrated to it from my Time Machine backups on an external drive (the old computer was totally damaged). This computer has Yosemite. My problem... There's no Pictures (Photos) "folder" in the Finder windows, and I can't find them anywhere. Help!!!!!!!!

What is in the side panel is just a shortcut.
The Pictures Folder is in your User Account. IN the Finder use the Go menu and paste this into the window
~/Pictures
and it will bring you there.

What happened to photo albums?

I have two sites that have photo albums.
I can play around with it no problem in iWeb, but when I publish and go to the site, the photo albums are gone.
I had these sites working just fine until the change over to Mobile me. Then the albums disappeared.
Nothing I do seems to help any.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what can be done?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you applied all the latest updates? Also try doing a *Publish All to MobileMe* and see if that won't jump start the album pages. And of course the usual clear your browser's cache routine.

What happen to photo descriptions?

I count on being able to add a description to a photo.. I can say who it is, where it was taken, or something important about the picture I want to remember. This new version, far as I can tell, and typical of apple developers, took out important useable items (or hid them?) and did what?
What is so good about this new iPhoto. (I still think I photo is a better description than just photo.) I'm going back to my old library, because it was still better than this new one.

Descriptions are entered and viewed in Info window. Select any thumbnail and type Command + i.
You can move the Info window to the side and keep it open as you scroll thru photos.
