Question about photo stream for my mom
Hey guys. I'm posting this question for my mom, so hopefully one of you all can help us out. Here is the situation. Her company has given her an IPhone 4S for both personal and business use. She also has an IPad 1st Generation. Wthe the situation is, is that she has an old Dell Demention desktop tower running Windows XP which she's trying to in the long run not have to use any longer. She slowly but surely migrating completely over to the Mac as last May, I got her a mini for her birthday. On her old computer, she's got a lot of pictures on that Dell system which she needs transfered to her mac. That's easy. I can help her do that no issue. Where the issue comes in is, she also has some pictures on her phone that she wants transfered to her IPad. I told her that she could simply use photo stream and have it automatically sync via ICloud between the two devices. She doesn't really want to do this though as she doesn't want all pictures coming across to her photo stream. Some of the pictures in her phone's camera roll are work related, and she doesn't for security reasons want those getting moved to ICloud. On the same note, she doesn't want all the same pictures on her phone that are on her IPad. Ultimately, what she wants is the ability to erase pictures from the camera roll on her phone, not through ITunes necessarily, but just from the photos app itself, but not have them get deleted from the IPad, and same vice versa. She wants the control of manually being able to specify what photos are on each device. If we use ICloud with photo stream, everything's gonna come across regardless. She doesn't have an issue deleting the work photos, but she just doesn't want it where if she removes them or any other picture from one device, it deletes it from the others. She wants them to all be totally independent. Does that kind of make sense? I confess, I'm not totally sure how she's gonna do this. I am thinking what she needs probably to do is to disable photo stream from her ICloud. But, how do we do that on her mac, and on both her IOS devices? She doesn't want to totally disable ICloud… just photo stream and nothing else. She just doesn't want photos getting pushed to her ICloud. She wants to do it completely manually by hand. What's probably the best way for me to teach her how to do this?

Re: Question about photo stream for my mom
What she can do is create work albums that will not show up in photo stream as I think only the main album does and only th home photos or the ones she wants will show up in photo stream. Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I've only used it nce. Tc. On Aug 3, 2013, at 9:48 AM, Chris Gilland ch...@clgproductions.com wrote: Hey guys.

Re: Question about photo stream for my mom
OK, so you're saying have her actually create a seperet album from her main camera roll, then tell photo stream not to sync that album? OK, how do I tell it what albums not to sync vs. the ones to! sync?

Re: Question about photo stream for my mom
I think photo stream only synched the main album so if you move the work photos in to another album on her phone she should be fine. Again someone correct me if im wrong.
