Bugs & Fixes: Troubleshoot Journals in iPhoto for iOS

16.03.2012

As an aside, I am very very disappointed that iTunes File Sharing is needed for iPhoto exporting. As I , I see this iTunes "feature" as one of the worst file-sharing user interfaces ever designed. Happily, in recent months, Apple has begun to shift to iCloud, rather than iTunes, for iOS file sharing. This return to iTunes by iPhoto is a step backward. It's especially mystifying given that journals are published to iCloud; why not use iCloud for sharing as well? My guess is that iTunes is an interim solution. Perhaps after Apple updates iPhoto for the Mac to include Journals support (which I assume they will), we'll see an iCloud-based export alternative. I certainly hope so.

On an different subject: If you suddenly started getting calendar alert emails from your iCloud account yesterday--and the settings to enable this option remain off--. This appears to be a problem with Apple's iCloud servers. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.
