I've been waiting on photos for a few people to upload and they have yet to appear and the 2-14 day time frame that was given has passed. The link provided for photos is fine - I provided a dropbox link that has access to all the photos and has names of the relevant actors/actresses for each photo.
Update reference numbers below:
140521-205840-885000
140521-210134-736000
140521-210246-323000
140521-210354-663000
140521-210637-235000
140521-210714-405000
140521-210820-124000
140521-210926-678000
Can anyone confirm that these update requests do meet the requirements and provide an ETA for when these updates can be made?
Please also note, that a few weeks prior similar but different photo update requests are made. Those were never enforced and I've since made new requests with new photos. How can I ensure that when updates are finally made, the most recent updates (seen above) are the ones that are made?

This problem has yet to be addressed.
Also some of these pages already had images before, but they have since been taken down but not replaced with any of the new photos I have submitted. The photos I submitted all meet imdb's given standards. It has been long past the 2-14 day time frame. Can someone please see that these photos are uploaded and all of these actors' pages are updated?
Though this particular issue has been a problem for a few weeks, overall this has been a bigger problem for the last few months. There must be some way to see that these updates are actually made. Any sort of reply or suggestion would be appreciated.

The only way to place a photo on an IMDb name page gallery is via the Resume Subscription. Each separate Name page requires a separate Resume subscription, which requires a separate Pro Account. And only the person named on the page (or an authorized representative) may set up the Resume subscription.
A user may add an External Link which contains a URL for a page containing a photo or photos of this person. The photos will not show up on the name page, but only a link on the subsidiary External Links page.

So on imdbpro when you go to a person's page and hit "Media" and then "Photos" and try to update and add "Links to Other sites" is that what you mean by External Link? Where exactly would it show up? I have yet to see it show up anywhere.
How can I update a client's photos for them? Not all clients necessarily have Pro Accounts. If I upload photos of them shouldn't they show up not necessarily as their main photo, but still on their page nevertheless? Where else would they show up that they could be seen when someone accesses their imdb page?

You don't have to go to the Media | Photos page first; you can just click Edit Page on the Overview page, but yes, that is the item I meant by External Link.
The link will show up on the Pro page under Media | Websites. IMDb has done a poor implementation of that page, as they have lumped Photographs in with Miscellaneous Sites on the this page, although they are separate on the equivalent basic page.
I don't think they will accept pictures that are just stored in your dropbox. They don't upload the pictures to the site, and your dropbox is probably seen as too changeable. Also, they prefer a site with several pictures rather than a single picture.
Also, the format of the description is quite specific, and any improperly formatted item will almost certainly be rejected. Check the Submission Guide: Links to External Sites (Names) for the details.

Thank you. Just to further clarify, I now see that the actual link I had submitted under Media | Websites is there now for everyone, but under Photos it still says no photos (ex: http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm4561787/websites) Is there no way to have the actual images appear under photos and not just the link under websites? Photos is the type of update that I had submitted. Unless "adding photos" essentially at this point is just adding a link to photos?
Additionally, since the dropbox link is indeed appearing I'm assuming the link and the images in that link have been approved. I submitted a dropbox link based after the comment that "Emperor" left in this thread https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/submitting_images_of_my_movie_via_imdb_pro. So it appears to me that there aren't currently any issues with the type of image/link that I submitted, they just aren't showing up under the right section.
And my last question, exactly where would this dropbox link appear on the equivalent basic imdb page? Could you perhaps point that out with this particular page? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4561787/

I just answered my last question! Could you perhaps help clarify the first bit above? Much thanks

I answered much of this in your other thread : https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/request_to_merge_two_pages_ended_up_with_one_being_deleted_a...
I believe Emperor was assuming that you wanted to load screencaps to verify that an update was accurate, an item that only needs to exist until the update goes through. This is the type of thing that dropbox is very handy for. However, apparently IMDb has accepted this; I am a bit surprised, but not too much. I included that warning in case that was preventing the link from being processed.
