Red Circle With Number on Dock iPhoto icon

I have a white 1 in a red circle on my iPhoto icon.

I clicked on the icon, went into iPhoto and then clicked on Photos.

Look at the photos in the iCloud section of the source list - the alert is caused by a shared photo stream. Somebody sent you a new photo in a shared stream or added a comment. Open the shared photo stream in iPhoto and read the comments to clear the alert.

Or disable the notifications for iCloud Photos in the "System Preferences > Notifications > Badge app icon"

The most recent date has the pictures that are now in my iPhoto folder.

These were sent to me by my daughter.

Not sure how to clear the circled number 1 on the iPhoto icon.

OK.

Is this an ongoing iCloud issue for all users because the number in my iCloud icon has been there over a week?

I Have viewed new photos and a comment but the number in iphoto and the iphoto icon in Dock persists.

Is there a way to refresh the application on the Mac?

I Also note that the Mail icon indicates Mail unread when in fact all Mail has been read ; it is the number of mails not read when application was opened.

ARe these Yosemite issues!

someone has made a comment on one or more of your photo's.....open iPhoto and you will see an indication next to the file...open the file and the comment will be indicated at the corner of the photo.....open the photo and open info......once you acknowledged the comment the red circle will go away....

it worked for me...

Dear Apple,

Having badges to notify user of changes is nice, iff the changes can be easily found. I have this Photos icon with red circle + white 1 on it, and cannot find what is causing the badge. I looked in Photos, Shared, Albums, and Projects with no success.

Please tell me I missed something, or provide an easy way to find out what the badge is for. I dug further and even tried quitting and restarting Photos with no effect. If you are going to let me know something is going on, I should be able to get more details with minimal effort: that is how excellent software is written.

Thank you,

Raven Ray

Its not simply a matter of viewing the comment in "Activities" apparently. I had the same problem and had to go into the actual Album and click on the comment bubble to read it again. The app doesn't know if you read it in the Activities section, even though that's the most convenient way to do so. You need to do extra work to get rid of the badges when they appear.

But how do I get rid of the number?

Apple aren't here, give them the benefit of your thoughts here

Exactly as Léonie described in this threat - it pays to read the thread

Someone had commented on a photo I had published to a photo stream. It showed up as a speech bubble in the corner of the photo when I looked in my photo stream.

Yes, new comments for photos on Shared Photo streams 🙂

No, it's an iCloud issue. Just taking a wee while to get things synchronised.

I have no idea. Have you tried the iCloud forum?
