When importing to mac from iPhone, my photos are doubling. Does this have to do with my photo stream? How do I stop it?

To import photos from my iPhone, I plug it into my MacBook Pro's iPhoto program. I am now also using iCloud photo sharing. When I import, my photos are DOUBLED.
I'm sure I need to change my settings, but I'm not sure which ones to change. In my Phone? In my iPhoto Preferences? Suggestions?

This is a bug. Just open the Camera.app on your iPhone before you plug it in and connect it by uSB. That will prevent the Photo Stream photos from showing in the Import panel as well.

HT201317 How do I transfer ALL my photos from iphone to photo stream? I have just turned on my photo stream on my PC and it only copied some photos and not all of them.

How do I transfer ALL my photos from iphone to photo stream? I have just turned on my photo stream on my PC and it only copied some photos and not all of them.

Photo Stream will only transfer photos taken in the last thirty days.
Connect your iPhone to your PC and transfer the photos manually.

Hi Linda...
You can purchase Numbers from the App Store.
You can launch the App Store from your Apple menu > App Store
Or from your Dock >
Or from your Applications folder.

I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

I am using the pen tool to clipp an image. Sometimes when I apply the mask WITH NO FEATHER it still appears to be feathered? Does this have to do with Anti-aliasing

Download video from iphone icloud photo stream to mac?

I have a iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.2 and a 2012 MacBook 13" OSX 2.9 i7 dual core on Mavericks 10.9.5
I'm using iPhoto 9.4.3 on my Mac
The issue: after filming several biking videos on my iphone, I ran out of space.
So I 'shared' in a icloud folder I have called 'Bikes'.
I then deleted the video files on my iphone.
The issue: when I got home and tried to sync my iphone pictures and videos to the Mac,
only the photos were synced to the library and the icloud photostream album.
The videos were nowhere.
The videos seem to be only available to view on the iphone icloud album.
The only way to share the video is to share the entire album and force the sharees to open an icloud account (something I do not want to inflict on friends).
Creating a smart album on iphoto to find all videos doesn't help either as the videos aren't on the hard drive, they're on icloud.
How can I get back control of my video content? I simply want to download MY OWN videos to MY OWN hard drive.
Would an upgrade to Yosemite help me? Would this enable one to access one's own video content in icloud and be able to download it to one's own hard drive?
Anyone else frustrated by iphoto/icloud video limitations?

Thanks for answering Léonie,
But I'm cool with creating private and shared albums, thing is, they are not the same depending on whether you view them from an iPhone and MacBook.
The same iCloud/photo stream album eg. 'Bikes' contains pictures and videos when viewed from an iPhone but when viewed from a MacBook, the videos have mysteriously disappeared.
All I want to do is:
1/ Download the video files from iPhone iCloud to my iPhone (4s on iOS 7.1.2) Camera Roll (not possible)
2/ Download from MacBook iPhoto/Photos stream/album to my MacBook hard drive, but it's not currently possible (osx 10.9.5).
The only place where these particular videos are is in the iPhone version of iCloud/photo stream album. I (increasingly regrettably) deleted the original videos from my iPhone Camera Roll after I had added the videos to the iCloud photo stream album. I know I can easily download photos from my iphone/icloud photostream album but downloading a selected video gives me a greyed out sharing option button.
Reading about Yosemite upgrades on my 2012 MacBook (2.9 i7 dual core, 8Go RAM) I am very, very wary about upgrading my MacBook to Yosemite and Photo just for this issue, especially if I still can't access my video file and have to face hours of data recovery/formatting and full reinstall! Not to mention risking having incompatibility issues with my database/analytics software!

Uploading photos from iphone to photo stream

how can i add photos that had been taken by my iphone before to my new photo stream?

The short answer to this question is no. If you turn photo stream off, you will stop the photos syncing to your other devices.
However there may be a large number of photos in your photo stream album on your device that are no longer in photo stream in the cloud and could be removed. You may be able to gain a significant amount of space by disabling photo stream synchronisation in settings> iCloud and then re-enabling it.
Turning synchronisation off will remove all the photos from your photo stream album, when you turn it backE bly the photos that are currently in photo stream in the cloud will be put back, but by enabling photo stream once again, you will allow the syncing of photos between devices to continue.

After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
killall iPhoto
followed by the Return or Enter key
It might take more than one go for it to take.
Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. Reboot and try iPhoto again.

I went to download pics from iPhone to laptop. In doing this it prompted me to register as a new phone or back up/ restore. I chose the 2nd. I lost pics, texts, emails. How do I reverse this?

How do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

Hi MrRhea,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
Best regards,
Joe

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

Problem with downloading photo from iCloud to iPhone's Photo Stream

Hi Apple Support,
I have two apple device, one iPad and one iPhone. For iPad, I turned on 'My Photo Stream' and 'Shared Photo Streams' function before, but iPhone not, and I installed iCloud client at my Win7 PC, so any photos which created by iPad will upload to iCloud and iCould will post them to my Win7 PC, it's perfect!
But.. Here is the problem, I turned on 'My Photo Stream' and 'Shared Photo Streams' function at my iPhone now as well, however the previously photos which created by iPad cannot download to my iPhone's 'Photo Stream', thats mean I cannot download any old photo from iCloud to iPhone's Phone Stream, can I know is this a problem or not? Thanks!
AFAIK, Microsoft's Skydrive could download any files from cloud to end user's device, cant Apple make it as well?

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your phone you would have only received photos added to photo stream in the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
If you want to get your older photos from your iPad to your iPhone, you can either import them to your computer and sync them to your phone, or use an app like PhotoSync or Bump to transfer them.

When importing a file from a folder

when importing a file from a folder it appears in the organizer as a exclamation mark but no photo. can anyone help i use elements 9

Hi there,
Digging up an old thread slightly, but is this still definitely the case? Last week double-clicking a folder definitely just opened up a folder for me to explore its contents, but now I'm constantly accidentally importing huge folders into things like After Effects and Mail... it's very annoying!
If there's a fix I'd love to hear it!

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.
