    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
    You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
    The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

  • I can't see the photos on my photo stream (laptop) on my iPhone. why?

    I can't see all my photos on my iPhone 5s,i have to go to my laptop to see them (photo stream no longer on my iPhone). Why is this so, i thought you could view/delete photos from all devices.(running the latest software)

    Photostream does not have an option to be backed up. If you backed up pictures from photostream then you will find them in the place of back up. If you just had your photostream "on" it was streaming to all devices connected back then, but will not sync over to new devices. It is rather streaming and not syncing service, so there is no option to go backward. There is a slight chance that you will still get last 30 days of your pictures, that is how long photostream server keeps those pictures for you.

  • Why can I see some photos in iphoto just fine, but then I will drag something in, edit it, and when I go back later it is not in photos or events. If I search my computer, I can find it, but it doesn't show up in iphoto. Yet other photos show up fine!

    I am completely confused by this. Should all photos loaded into iphoto show up? What makes some different from others? Does it matter if they are on the desktop first, straight off the camera, or sent to me via email?? Why should they be different in any way? I just worked on 2 differnt photos - one was sent to me via email, placed on the desktop and dragged into iphoto. It shows up as an event.  The other was sent via email, saved directly from the email to iphoto - I went in and edited it and now it is nowhere to be found. Help!!!!

    In your post here you say:
    But I can find the photo when desperate by searching the computer through another system. When I find the photo, it has all the iphoto edits made, but it is NOT in iphoto.
    What "other system" are you using to search? And, when you find the Photo, where is it?
    Storing files in folders is not using a Photo program at all, it's just using the file manager for the job. You can do this on your Mac just as easily as on your Windows box, with the same advantages (it's easy to understand) and limitations (it's inflexible, limited and treats your photos the same way as it treats your text files.)
    iPhoto is a different kind of program alright, and once you finish the learning curve - and for most folks, that's not very long - you may see some additional advantages over storing files in folders. Maybe you won't. It's not for evertbody, but frankly, "if all your friends" can "never find any photos they are looking for" when iphoto offers far more ways to manage, arrange, categorise and seach for your photos than the file manager does, then perhaps you need to look closely at your friends
    Seriously: I post this for folks who are getting to know iPhoto for the first time. It's just one way of using the app, but it does demonstrate what I mean by being more flexible than the file manager:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 39+k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

    I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

    There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer.  when it came up, the scanner had already been added again.  With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application.  I tried it, and it works quite well.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • From some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. The photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

    from some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. Now all the photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

    It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
    Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
    The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
    I restored the whole library from my backup.
    Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem. 
    How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced?  If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
    It's says that file does not exist. How come?
    What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded?  Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network?

  • Why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Hello. do you know why i can`t see my all my photos the streaming in my new i-phone? i have 815 and i just can see 175

    Photo stream photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days, although up to 1000 will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you connect a new device to your photo stream it will only receive photos added in the last 30 days as the earlier photos are no longer there.  Chances are, the missing photos were more than 30 days old.
    If the missing photos are on another device, you could create a shared photo stream including the missing photos and invite yourself, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.  You would see then be able to access the photos on your new phone.  Another option is to import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your new phone using iTunes.

  • Why can't I get the same photos and videos I have taken and edited in photos or I photos when I see them in my laptop the photos are unedited in laptop I can see edited photos on in my iPhone not in laptop

    Why can't I can see edited photos and videos. On my laptop why only the original version of the photos are maintained

    Have you copied those pictures from the iPhone to the computer? 
    If PhotoStream is enabled on the iPhone and computer, they will sync between all devices with PhotoStream enabled.  And if that is the case, are you editing the photos in PhotoStream or in Camera Roll?

  • Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
    And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

  • Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?

    Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • The guides all say when using the iCloud photos are shared across all devices. Why can't I see my photos from my iPhone on my iPad when it settings on both devices the iCloud for photos is on?

    The guides all say when using the iCloud photos are shared across all devices. Why can't I see my photos from my iPhone on my iPad when it settings on both devices the iCloud for photos is on?

    When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

  • Why can't I see my deleted photos in Trash?

    I have several photos in Trash that I cannot see.  I have cleared all my filters to show all pictures and I still cannot see them.  I repaired my library and there is nothing wrong.  Does anyone know why I can't see my deleted photos in Trash?

    Terrific, Frank!
    I just knew, if somebody here can solve a tricky Trash problem, it would be you.
    I am trying to explore your solution a bit for future similar cases:
    Finding the Trash in the "Albums" section is disconcerting, since it is behaving more like a project - at least, it is  supposed  to be containing images like a project and not referencing them like an album.
         So, where is the actual Trash container?
    Experimenting with quitting Aperture and then removing the " trashAlbum.apalbum", I found that Aperture does recreate it, when running a "Repair database". Rebuild does not seem to be necessary, if there is not an issue with the library. But without rebuilding or repairing, even adding items to the Trash or emptying the Trash did not recreate this album. Probably Aperture did still hold a cached version. I could not restart the system  before launching Aperture again, because I had a backup running.
    Inside this folder are two folders Albums and Folders
    Just for the sake of completeness - my "Database" folder is showing a lot more folders inside:
    Albums, apdb, Faces, Folders, History, Places, Vaults, Versions, VersionGroups, Volumes
    plus propertylists:  ActiveWebPublishingAccounts.plist, BigBlobs.apdb,
    DataModelVersion.plist, Faces.dbHistory.apdb, ImageProxies.apdb, KeywordSets.plist,
    Keywords.plist, Library.apdb,  Properties.apdb, tmSync.plist, ZoomLevelCache.plist

  • Why can I only see my facebook photos through other OS access but not on my Mac using Firefox or Safari?

    I have access to Facebook on a windows OS but not on my MAC. 
    My friend can access his FB and view his photos through his account, but I cannot view my photos, even with the same laptop and same browser -even when I log onto FB right after he logs off?  Why?

    You need to explain that. Do you mean :
    You AND your friend can both view FB photos using Windows via Bootcamp on a Mac, but not in OS X?
    You can both view your FB photos on a Windows PC but you can't on your Mac?
    Your friend can see his FB photos on your Mac but you can't see yours?

  • HT4858 why can't i see my photos in my icloud account?

    Why Can't I see my photos in my icloud account?

    Because there is no iCloud photo viewer.  You need to move them to your computer or your iOS device to view them.  Photo stream is just a mechanism to share photo's across multiple devices - it is not an online permanent storage, nor an online viewer feature.
    Photo stream storage space is not even part of your personal iCloud account - it is separate, intended for temporary (max. 30 days) storage of photos solely to allow you to copy them onto other devices.
    See the photo stream FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
