WISH: Improve Photo Sharing Folder Selection Settings

We just got an AppleTV for Christmas and we love it. The only shortcoming I've found so far is the inability to select any folders from any location to add to the share list. The present settings only allows one level of folders and consolidates all sub-folders into one long photo queue.
I would love to be able to select any folder anywhere on the system running iTunes and add it to a list of folders that would be scanned for display using Home Sharing. This would provide maximum flexibility for those of us with very large libraries.
How do we get Apple to consider this feature in the next update to iTunes/AppleTV?
Regards,
Rob

I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

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.

TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

Confused about photos/shared/albums folder

Hi there,
I have an iPhone 5 iOS 8. under my photos: I have the collection of photos taken to date. under the Shared tab (iCloud photo sharing), I have activity, and another album; under the Albums tab, I have camera roll, my photo stream, videos, events from my mac, faces from my mac, recently deleted, and Last 12 Months from my mac.
I do not have enough storage in my iCloud to update. I would like to understand why I cannot delete photos in various albums that are "from my mac". In the Last 12 Months folder from My Mac, there are 320 photos. I believe these are stored on my macbook so I don't need all of those on my phone. How do I remove some of these photos that are taking up iCloud space?
why can't the photos under the Photos tab where collections is found be deleted? I am so confused. It seems like I have multiple copies of the same photo in different folders. Can someone set me straight on what is what. I can't seem to learn about the difference in any of the mac support resources.

Photo Library contains all of your photos except Camera Roll. Because you have only one album with photos (the other is empty) the number of Photo Library equals to "for itunes" album.
846 (camera roll)+788 (Photo Library) are all of your photos that you have in iPhone.
Everything else is a "shortcut" ("for itunes" folder points to Photo Library, "for screen" album may points to Camera Roll or/and Photo Library).
That means that you have only 1634 photos in your iPhone instead of 2536 that iTunes say.
Transfer your Camera Roll to your computer to sync it back later as an album. (like "for itunes").
Empty your Camera Roll (you have to do it from time to time anyway) and un-sync the "for itunes" album and everything else. Try to empty your iPhone from any photo in Photo app.
Check your storage in Settings>General>Usage>Photos and Camera. Slide to delete if it needs.
If everything is correct sync back the "for itunes" and the folder that contains your 846 photos from Camera Roll.
Are there also Videos in your iPhone?
When you sync the "for itunes" folder did you checked the "Include videos" (or something like that) in Photos tab of iTunes sync page?

Automaticly sync photos from iphone to shared folder on windows server 2012 r2

Hey,
I'm making photo's of cars for a company and we got a server running locally. I make photo's with my iPhone and i used to use dropbox for auto syncing pictures with the dropbox cloud and access from my pc.
Since dropbox is too slow and we got a server running with big amounts of storage i want my iPhone to sync with my server instead of my dropbox. i already got a shared folder and a network drive for this.
Thanks in advance.
Marc

The slow is more than likely your cell and or network service provider however this one may help.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

How do you share photos so other users on computer can view photos in a shared folder?

I have a Apple 2 TB Time Capsule running on a 27" iMAC.
I contacted Apple Phone Support to help instruct me last month on how to set up a shared folder so all users on this computer and people connected to my network iwthin the home can share family & vacation photos. Apple Support ran me through several steps to set this up although I can't seem to re-figure these steps out. Phone Support contract ended.
I currently have a shared folder set up and gave all computer and network users read & write access to view folder. When I did this last month, I was able to set up one person who was successful in being able view and upload the photos to the shared folder. Trying to provide wife access to Shared Folder and have been unsuccessful in doing this.
Can someone please attempt to provide instruction (step by step) on how to provide users access to a created Shared Folder. I have spent two evening attempting to figure this out with no success.
Would greatly appreciate assistance.

See if this Apple article helps: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.

Iphone not recognizing photos put into the shared folder

I'm trying to import new photos from a shared folder. I just dragged photos from my main account into the shared folder so other accounts on the same computer can drag them into their own iphoto. I had three sources of the new photos; canon camera, iphone4 and a sony. They are all working fine in my main account but when one of my user accounts tries to drag these iPhoto complains many of the photos are not recognized. After some discovery I found that many of these are "read only" and if I make it read/write it fixed the issue. I can't seem to find a way to use the "info" to change all the files at the same time. I have hundreds of photos I need to do this to.
Is there any other solution to this problem?
Was there a better way to do this from the start to avoid this situation?
This is very frustrating...
Thanks

Is there any other solution to this problem?
Use iPhoto Sharing:
Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

HT201317 Can my friends add photos in my shared Photo stream folder?

I shared a photo stream with some friends. they are unable to add photos into the album. Is this functionality available like that in dropbox where everyone in the shared folder can add data in?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only the owner can add photos, comments can be added by everyone.

In my system preferences, my sharing folder will not let me access it. All my photo booth share button is grayed out. One more thing, My photoshop will not let me import any photographs. I believe this all has to do with this. Any way to fix this issue?

The iTunes Store has no phone support and never has. Contacting them has always been via web form. Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Selected photo's folder

After doing a search for all photos that had no keywords I got a number of photos. I selected the first one and expected the folder in the left hand panel that contained the photo to be highlighted but it wasn't. It helps to know which folder the picture came from to help identify it. I finally found that I could do this by adding folder to the grid view options but it took me quite a while to discover this. I could also right click the photo and then pick show in expolrer but this is time consuming. I don't use LR every day so it's hard to remember all the options and I had to spend 30 minuets finding out how to do this. I may not have to do this again for months so it will probably take me time to look it up again (getting old). Maybe it can already be done but I would like to see the folder that the selected photo is in to be highlighted.

Thanks for the reply they are helpful. I have a few thousand photos in a catalog, mostly wild life. Anyway I just wanted to be sure they all had keywords so I did search with the keyword selection set to none and came up with about a dozen old photos that didn't get keyworded way back when. I don't do this very often so was just looking for a more intutive way to identify the different folders they are in. This may be obvious to others but I use Windows and with a file open the folder icon changes to an open folder icon when looking at something in it so was expecting something like that. The filter bar above the film strip shows the photo's file name. Even with several photos selected one is highlited more showing what photo the name goes with. It would be nice if it would have the option to also show the folder name. Maybe I'll remember to right click the photo the next time I need to know the folder so maybe this isn't a problem. I usually don't care about the folder since I just do imports from the card with a date folder name and most of the folders have the same type of subject matter so it would be hard to come up with unique names for them.

Wish to update to 7.1.2 need to backup correct? I select settings iCloud sroage

wish to update to 7.1.2 need to backup correct? I select settings>iCloud>storage & backup and my iCloud backup switch is gray. why?

If you're phone was provided by your employer, or if you have added your employer's exchange email account to you phone, you employer may have pushed a security profile to your phone preventing it from backing up to iCloud. You would have to confirm this with your employer's IT department.
Back up to your computer instead by going connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing Transfer Purchases if prompted.

I have just deleted a set of very important photos from a shared folder on my iphone 5 not realising that they would also be deleted form my photostream - is there any way I can retrieve them?
