Where's the Basic Photos App?

So, I deleted the basic "Photos" app from my iPhone and iPad, and now I want it back. Unfortunately, it's not in the App Store. You know the one: It's got the yellow sunflower icon, and it now includes Photo Stream. Any thoughts on how I can get the app back? It no longer exists in my device libraries, nor can I find it, well, anywhere. Thanks!

Built-in apps cannot be deleted, and thus, are not available in the App Store. Try going to Settings, then General, then Reset, then proceed to 'Reset Home Screen Layout.'

How do you get a playlist of music to work on the basic Photo App which comes with ipad 2 - to have to play the same tune over and over again with a slideshow is rubbish !

How does one get a varity of music i.e a playlist to work on the standard Photo App which is shipped with Ipad 2 when using a slideshow ?

if you have music in your library, when tapping on slideshow a menu appears - Turn on music option. when on a song should display below it - tapping it will take you to your library.
Photo App will give you access to all albums as set in settings\Photo
Camera - select camera roll - gives camera roll only but options for everything else
Slideshow timings is under Settings\Photo

What and Where is the basic photo format and size info????

I am new at this but an experienced graphic designer.
I work in print often so I take high resolution images. Using still photos I want to make movies with titles and effects, music that are emailable and facebook friendly. Do I need to down size photos before importing them to IPhoto. My project will have around 30 photos.
Is there a place I can go to get this basic info, it was not covered on Apple tutorial.
Do you think any of the manuals that we have to purchase will discuss this issue? Gripe, why does mac give you a program without a manual!!!
So the question is, what is the recommended resolution and format for photos to import to Iphoto or Imovie and be able to have a good quality movie.

the Apple intended workflow is, that stills are managed in iPhoto, and iMovie 'picks up' from there.
this workflows guarantees to some extend a compatibility to iMovie.
iM will not accept 'raws' or CMYK.psd - jpeg, pic, tiff preferred.
there's a flaw, how iM handles portrait-sized pic.. if you want to show them full-sized (=black bars l/r), you have to add those in any pic-processor to make the pic landscape BEFORE import to iM09..
the maximum res of a video is 1920x1080 .. adding any higher res has no effect. only needed, as Kirk allready told you, if you like to use the Ken Burns effect.
for uploading to YT choose HD/1280x720 as size.. adds some extra grain of quality.. made a demo of some random pics as a test, what's possible with iM/YT.
mailing video...? I prefer to upload to YT, make it private, send invitation to mail adress.. for mailing, you would have to compress sooooo much.. nothing left.

Where is the Basic photo resize in iPhoto feature

Recently, I found a feature that let me resize photos in Iphoto to various preset sizes and easially export them to my desktop or wherever. The sizes were real baisc, 2 x3 4 x 6 8 x 10 etc but using the custom feature I could resize them perfectly for web photo requirements on Fiverr.
It seemed the setting was on the right margin in Iphoto to resize the images and I did about 8 of them. ...Now I cannot find that feature-
Can anyone help me locate it in Iphoto?
Many thanks-

In the Edit mode is the option to crop the photos to the various size ratios:

Using the new Photos app on multiple devices - confusion!

I find the recent way ios/Photos handles photos quite confusing. I am not too concerned about not having a Camera Roll, but seeing how not having this creates strange behavior when editing/deleting photos, I can see how the Camera Roll is definitely necessary or the whole thing needs revamped to handle things better.
Here's my set up:
iMac with iPhoto
iPhone 5s with the new Photos app
iPad Mini with the new Photos app
The one things I DO like is that whenever I take a photo (or upload in the case of my iMac), the photo is duplicated across all devices. That means I could take a photo on my iPhone and then edit it on my iPad Mini which has a bigger screen. (Well, so I thought..but read below.) Yes, you could do this with Photo Stream, but having all photos in one place is a bit easier to remember and find. I also like that when I delete the photo on the device that I took it on, all photos on the other two devices are also deleted. Easy. Thanks.
But that is where the ease of use ends.
If I delete the photo on any other two devices (i.e. the devices that I did NOT take the photo on), it only deletes on the devices which I didn't take the photo on. In other words, it leaves the photo on the device which I originally took the photo on.
To add to the confusion... if I edit the original photo, the edits do not get duplicated to the other devices! I see the original photo on the devices with which I did NOT take the photo but the edited one is on the original device I took it on.
Let's add even MORE confusion....if I want to edit the photo on a device it was not taken on, I then get a notice that it has to be Duplicated before I can edit it. Well, okay, I do that and then edit it. However, I now have the original showing up twice on the device it was originally taken on...the original photo and the now duplicated photo--it's the EXACT same photo since no edits get carried over from the other device.
I believe all of this is because of what happened when ios 9 combined the functions of the Camera Roll and Photo Stream together. It exhibits both behaviors but since you cannot be sure which photo was taken on which device, you have less understanding what will happen when you try to delete a photo or edit it.
Here's the key headache....What happens if I want to make sure a photo is deleted from ALL my devices and I don't remember which device I took the photo on? I will have to check every device just to be sure! I can't even open up iPhoto on my Mac and delete it from the Photo Stream album because it will remain on the original device. So, I have to check all devices and also iPhoto on my Mac for good measure in case I actually uploaded a photo there--which I do since I am scanning in old photos.
Key headache #2...you end up with duplicates of the photo if you edit the photo on any device on which it was not taken on. You also get different versions of the photo. You end up not knowing which photo was the original. To be sure to have all edited photos eventually on you iMac, you'll need to sync all devices physically to iPhoto.
Who has time to track all this?
What should happen is this...all of the photos, including their edits, should sync exactly on all devices. My Recently Added should look exactly the same across all devices and carry over any edits...now that is what I would call Continuity and Handoff! But as it stands, we don't have anything close to this...is more like Pandemonium and MixUp!
This is really a mess and way too confusing to keep track of. I can only hope this get resolved when Photos on the Mac is released.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

The New Photo App Not Syncing Properly

I've been pulling my hair out over the last week or so with the new Photo's in the iCloud and how the online database won't sync properly.
This is how I went about the upgrade.
I have a Mac Mini which has been for the past several years drawing down my family's photo's and video etc from all out devices using iPhoto. This has worked very nicely. I've been adding pictures from my stream into albums etc with about 200 or so. All files are stored locally of course in organized folder which is then back up on to a external drive.
After the latest update I opened the new Photo app and it started to convert my library over and started to upload all the photos, some 15000 pictures and a few hundred videos. I started to check my iPad and iPhone which is where I started to see problems, missing albums, missing photos, duplicates etc. Before anyone asks I emptied my trash in iPhoto before I updated as I had read about the new app pulling all the photos from trash in too.
After several days of stopping and starting my iPhone and iPad looked like it should with my albums and the correct amount of files. I checked the online iCloud Photos through my browser which also match, but I had all the old iPhoto months and daily libraries still showing despite me organizing my libraries not to group the photos in these old style albums.
At this point I also looked back on my Mac Mini to find that all the libraries had totally disappeared and there seemed to be a couple of thousand files missing, ie my ipad, iphone and online coun which is at something like 15,634 files and the Mac Mini Photo app was showing about 13,450. Plus, it was now saying uploading some 24,000 files but was in fact doing nothing.
At this point I decided to turn my main iMac on and see if I could get the databases to pull down from the iCloud to see if it matched. Three days later it's stuck at some 3200 files and saying it's still adding 15,000 files. I then went back on to my Mac Mini and started a fresh version of Photo and it's now stuck in the same state as the iMac saying it's adding file but nothing is changing.
Please help.

How did you import the photos?
Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

Flickr integration in the new Photos App in OS X 10.10.3

I had been looking forward to trying out the new Photos app with the newest version of OS X.
Now it has arrived and it is alright, for what it does, but it's not going to be taking over my photo processing.
The one bit where I feel seriously let down is the Flickr integration - in this area it seems to be a big step backwards from iPhoto.
Has anyone else though been struggling to understand how to access Flickr properly through it?
I can upload photos, but I cannot open my Flickr albums to look in there, as I could with iPhoto. Or is there a way of doing this that I am missing?
The upshot of this is that I cannot use my Flickr feed as a screensaver on my mac at the moment... There are hundreds of curated photos that make me happy, of my friends, family, nice memories, trips that I have taken, in an album on Flickr for this very purpose.
Previously I simply set my mac at work, and my one at home, to use the Flickr album as the source for my screensaver, but now that the Flickr album doesn't appear for me in iPhoto, this is not possible.
Has anyone else run across this? Has anyone else come up with a solution?
(Also did anyone else's inner cynic connect this and the screen asking them to sign up for the iCloud photos solution, and if so, did you silence that cynic or give it free reign?)
-crossposted from the Flickr support forums at the suggestion of users there

Okay, the answer for the time-being seems to be to keep using iPhoto for this task.
iPhoto is still in my applications folder (but for how long).
So, I can use iPhoto for managing my Flickr and Photos for everything else.
That's the theory anyway and I'm going to give it a go until and unless a better option presents itself, please do let me know if you have one.

The new photo app and iBooks Author

I updated to Mac Os-x 10.1.3 and when opening iBook Author, in the media picker under photos the new photo app is missing to pick photos.
Does anyone have a solution? or do I need to be patient for an update.
Brgds, Jelger

OK some progress to report as a temporary fix.
It looks like when you install the Photo update the relationship between iBooks Author and your photos is broken because the media pane shows no images. I had the same issue as Jelger.
However, iPhoto is still in your applications folder so I tried opening it (as I prefer the ability to organise photos in the old program). To my surprise the act of opening iPhoto seemed to restore a link with Author. So now, when I open Author I get access restored to my iPhoto library and can use my old working method.
Of course, this won't last for ever. Apple will not support iPhoto any more so someday an update might affect it. Also, if Apple bring out a fix to link Author and the new Photo this would break the link I have re-established with iPhoto. I'm also concerned that an update linking Author to Photo will make navigation more difficult. iPhoto has a natural structure for finding images to put in books whereas Photo does not.
Anyway, for the time being everything works again..... I hope this helps.

The new photos app doesn't show all of the thumbnails for my Photostream photos, how can I make them show?

I recently updated my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15 inch to 10.10.3 Yosemite and I am now using the new Photos app. My Photostream shows missing thumbnails for more of the recent photos, I let it sit for an hour and they still don't show. Any tips to make the thumbnails show quickly? I have tried disabling photostream and reactivating it which didn't work. The thumbnails do eventually show only if I view each specific photo, but it would take forever to select each one to make the thumbnail show

Hi,
Thanks for that tip and I got as far as that as well with Apple Support but for me the subsequent syncing doesn't work.
I have just returned from another visit at the Apple Store where their top level Genius (if such a thing exists) wanted to see it for himself. Rather worryingly, neither he nor Apple head office has an answer for why this isn't working.
To summarise, I connect my iPhone 6 (all up to date) with my MBA/iTunes via USB cable. The sync tab under the iPhone allows me to sync my photos via USB and I get a dropdown menu to chose from iPhoto or Photos Sync. Both libraries in same location but iPhoto works, but Photos says there are 0 pictures and won't sync...
The Apple genius was going to try it himself tonight at home. He has my number and has promised to phone. In the meantime my question remains. For those of you who do not use the Cloud for storing pictures could you please confirm the sync is working for you as described above. Thanks

My iPhoto library will not merge to the new photos app

Ever since updating to the new software on april 15, 2015 I have tried to merge my iPhoto library to the new photos app. It starts the merge process and at 31% fails every time.
Someone please help....Where did years of my photos disappear to

I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
It's driving me insane!!!

I upgraded to the new photos app on my mac and don't see my shared albums

I do not see my shared albums on the new Photos app for iMacs. Where can you find them as my shared tab just says start sharing but doesn't display the previous shared albums I create on the the old iPhoto app.

Did you reboot the router too?

In the new Photo app 'Projects' will not stay open

Hi
In the new Photo app. released last week, I can not get the 'projects' to remain open. It just crashes and closes and actually now , since this afternoon I can not open any of it without it crashing.
i have a mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.3.
i have a few photo books, slideshows and cards in the projects if this helps.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it, even if its just so I can access the photos.
Many thanks.

Many people are reporting the project->crash problem. To the best of my knowledge, there is no fix for it.
For some folks, a temporary workaround is to select View->Sidebar and access the projects *individually*.
Hopefully this will work for you, fairymoo!
Apple's Meta-Problem: Inexplicably, "Photos" is *NOT* listed as an Application Community on the top-level web-site "https://discussions.apple.com/welcome" ... thus plenty of folks (including the poster and me too) have been unable even to find the right community for seeking/posting solutions.
Conclusion: not a smooth roll-out, Apple! Not least, why is the Photos Community so difficult to locate?

After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

After I downloaded the new update the new photo app will not appear in my photo browser list when I try to insert a picture in my excel document. How can I add the new photo app to my browser list?

If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package. I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

Is it possible to load a PDF into the ipad Photos app?

I deal with documents that then have to be sent to a specific site that only accepts .doc, .docx, pdf.
I can't e-mail them, because the site must access iPad so that the documents are correctly received and accounted for.
That site can only access the iPad's Photos, nowhere else.
Is it possible to load one of these three formats into the ipad Photos app?

Thanks Diavonex, but that doesn't work (see my question).
I can easily produces JPGs and load them into Photos, but the site in question can't access them ( it only accepts .doc, .docx, PDF).

Where's the Basic Photos App?
