Where does photo stream place the pictures on my mac?

In aperture, when I use photostream, I see a project called Photo Stream and it is adding the pictures to the project after I take them on my phone. All of my other pictures, I can click on them to select show in finder to see the master but where does photo stream place the master pictures?
thanks

My problem is not fixed, but it has gone away??? I tried to enable Photo Stream in iPhoto this evening and it worked first time. WT...

  • Does photo stream keep my pictures forever?

    My wife's iPhone is out of space. She has 8 gb of pictures and videos. She is signed up for extra back up storage online with apple.
    If we delete photos and videos from iPhone, will they still be retained in the cloud? If not, can we make them be retained in cloud or photo stream forever?

    The only photo stream photos that stay in iCloud indefinitely are photos added to a shared stream (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  (Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.)  The only issue with this is that they will be a lower resolution than the originals in your camera roll (3.1-3.5 megapixels). 
    Also, adding them to photo stream or a shared stream doesn't save any room on your phone because a copy will still be on your phone.  If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud.
    If you want to store your photo on the internet and still have access to them to view from your phone, use a service that is designed for that such as Flikr, Smugmug, etc.  You can also consider an alternative cloud service such as Dropbox.
    Whatever you do, you should back them up on your computer by importing them from the camera roll with your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

  • I changed jobs and had to change emails/Apple ID.  Before doing so, I did not save my photos from the photo stream to the camera roll.  Now, all the old pictures that are still on my iPhone are not streaming to the iPad, only new ones.  Please help.

    I changed jobs and had to change email/AppleID.  Before doing so, I did not copy the pics on the photo stream of my iPad to the album and now the only pics being synce with my iPad are new pics either saved or taken on phone.  Old pics are still on phone.  There has to be a way to get these pics to be able to stream them on to iPad, right?

    You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
    Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream.  They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

  • Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

    Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
    1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
    2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
    3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
    4.)  Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
    5.)  Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
    This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
    I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
    I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
    6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
    7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
    8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
    Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

    What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    In regards to backing up Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
    Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
    "No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
    However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
    To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
    1.)  It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
    2.)  Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
    3.)  Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos.  (Tested it personally)
    4.)  Photo Stream has a limit according to:  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
              Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
    5.)  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083  (As shown above)
    6.)  To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website.  Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
    7.)  You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities.  For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
    8.)  On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
    "You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll

    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)

  • HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

    I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
    Help much appreciated!

    Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
    Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
    Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
    have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

  • HT201077 Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

  • Does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    Only if you have iPhoto setup to automatically import the Photo Stream photos.
    Otherwise they are just on the iCloud server and will be removed after 30 days.

    adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    Bad news I'm afraid. iCloud only keeps the last 30 days of photos. Your device will keep some old iCloud photos around - up to 1000 photos - but those ones aren't actually on iCloud any more. It's one of my pet hates about iCloud Photostream, and it has caused a lot of people to lose data. It's a very bad design decision on Apple's part.
    There are file recovery programs that might be able to recover the deleted photos from your handset, but I can't remember the names of any right now. Stop using the phone completely until you can run a file recovery program to maximise the number of photos it can restore. Preferably, switch it off completely.

    I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. I put it back as soon as I realized. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

    Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However,  I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

  • HT1296 upon syncing my ipad with my mac, the process reversed and sent pictures back to the ipad on the camera roll.  Now none can be deleted.  There is no trash showing up, only edit. Instead of the 900 pics in the photo stream, and the same in photos

    I canot delete pics from my photos on ipad.  During synching process to my mac the pictures started to suddenly be downloaded back to the ipad.  I now have 900 pics in photos and the same in photo stream on the ipad.  There is no trash can, only an "edit" choice.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How can I send pictures from my I-phone to the photo stream on the I-pad

    How can I send pictures from my I-phone to the photo stream on the I-pad

    You need to have them both on the same iCloud ID with photo stream ON both devices.  Then when you take a photo with one device it will be sent to photo stream on the other device.  Pictures already taken before enabling photo stream will not be transferred.

  • HT201317 i have pictures on my iphone photo stream that did not automatically download to my photo stream on the computer

    I have pictures on my iphone 4 that are in my photo stream, that have not downloaded to my photo stream in the cloud. How can I get them to download?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
