How do I set up photo stream?

In iphoto, when going into Preferences, there is only a tab for Mobile Me. I do not see a Photostream tab.
How do set up Photostream, now that mobile me no longer exists?
I have upgraded to Lion already, and I use icloud often for my mail, calendar, etc. but can't seem to get Photostream to show up in iPhoto or in icloud.

I quote:
Set up Photo Stream on a Mac to work with iPhoto
          Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
          Select the Photo Stream checkbox.
Open iPhoto (in your Applications folder).
               Select Photo Stream in the Source list on the left.
Click Turn On Photo Stream (on the right).  
By default, iPhoto automatically imports all Photo Stream photos into your library so you can keep them permanently, and automatically uploads every photo you import to your Photo Stream.
(The Forum software has munged the layout a bit, but you get the idea.) Please see the Apple Help page this comes from for more information:

  • How can I set up Photo Stream with OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09?

    I am trying to set up Photo Stream and I would like to know what I need to do. I am running OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09.  Thanks

    You need to have 10.7.5 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 Lion will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks.
    This is from Apple Support:
    Minimum operating system requirements
    You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
    Mac
    OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
      Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
    be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.

  • HT201317 I constantly have to sign into Photo Stream on my MacBook. How do you set up Photo Stream to be autonomous on MacBooks?

    I'm always signed into iCloud, and I always have 'checked' enable photo stream and automatic import. Does anyone know why I sometimes have to sign into Photo Stream (on my MacBook) when I'm wanting to import photos from my iPhone (over Wi-Fi) to my MacBook?

    If you enabled photo stream on your PC after you did so on your iPad, you would only get photos from the last 30 days as photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days (even they remain longer on your device).  Chances are the missing photos were added to photo stream more than 30 days prior to you enabling photo stream on your PC, and as such they are no longer in your photo stream.
    To transfer the missing photos from your computer, can them to the camera roll on your iPad (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    That's how it is supposed to work.
    Older photos will need to be transferred manually using a sync cable.

    You have to have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac to create an iCloud account.  However, if you tell your friend to create a shared photo stream and turn on Public Website, he/she will then be able to send you a link that will allow you to view the photos on the internet using your web browser.  You would not be able to comment on the photos as this requires an iCloud account, but you would be able to view them.
    You can refer your friend to this link for assistance with this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

    How do I save my photo stream photos to my PC? What do I enable in my control panel?

    You can just import them using your usb cable without buying anything, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  The iPhoto iOS app is for editing your photos, it won't import them to your PC.

  • HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled.  However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
    If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them.  If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
    If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data.

  • Setting up photo stream win 7 pro

    I cant set up photo stream on my Windows 7 Pro.
    I dont see in Control Panel "Network and Internet".
    And I dont see anythng that mentions ICloud.
    Please advise.

    The restore/recovery kit is always the same, it's the initial load of software and drivers to get it back to like new, it is never updated with new components. So if you make the Recovery set now or later it's exactly the same, I recommend making it now.

    At the moment you cannot share your Photo Stream. Just wait a couple of weeks until iOS 6 and Shared Photo Streams will be released: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#photostreams
