  • HT4906 can't turn on Photo Stream on my Mac

    i'm trying to turn on Photo Stream on my Mac, but the box to check off Photo Stream is grayed out so I can't check the box. My software is updated, and I'm using OS Mountain Lion. What should I do to turn on the Photo Steam?

    what version of iPhoto? Are you logged into iCloud in the system preferences? See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for software requirements, FAQ and trouble shooting hints

  • HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

    Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

    Photo stream requires iPhoto '11 - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • HT4906 I cant turn on photos in iCloud. Other things are turned on OK.Why won't it turn on?

    I cant turn on photos in my newly installed icloud.
    other things are turned on but photos are greyed out.
    Jo

    Because iPhoto '09 does not support PhotoStream. You need to upgrade iPhoto '11 and at least Lion

  • HT4906 why can't i turn on my photo stream on my mac?

    I am unable to turn the photo stream on on my macbook pro. I have tried serching the more information and and found nothing that has helped. I want to be able to see my photos on my iPhone that I have down loaded onto my mac. I have the photo stream turned on on my phone but can check it on my mac.
    Can anyone help me.

    As long as your system and iPhoto meets the minimum requirements for the basic Photo Stream try the following:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • TS3989 how can I share a photo stream from my mac? there's no check box in system preferences to turn it on

    I've been having trouble to share my photo stream with other from my mac. Once I selecte the photos and click share>photo stream, nothing else happens. The option for "new photo stream" does not appear, neither the field where you type in the email addresses from people you whant to share it with. I all ready checked in iphoto'11> system Pref.> photo stream and there's no "shared photo strem" check box to turn on or off... I also checked in my mac system pref to be sure that my icloud is enabled and it is.
    If I select photos and then go to my tool bar and press share. the option of photo stream is not available.
    I also can't accept any shared photo stream from other and view it in my iphoto. I can only access it via web.
    I DO can use my photo stream correctly and share it via my iphone. and every picture that I take uploads into my mac and every photo I import from cameras into my iphoto also uploads fine into my Ph stream. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T SHARE THEM FROM MY MAC.....
    Please can someone help me?

    You turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane:
    Check the box "Automatic Upload" to add every photo imported into the library to the Photo Stream.  Or leave it unchecked and manually add just selected photos to the stream by dragging them onto the Photo Stream heading in the left hand pane.

  • How do I stop my iphone from turning on photo stream AFTER I turned it off?

    I have this problem that happens constantly and I cannot figure out a premenant solution for it. I have the Iphone 4. Since the IOS 7 upgrade, the photo stream option will not stay turned off. It seems to turn it on by itself. It will be on after a reboot or for no reason. I AM TIRED OF having going to settings to turn it off. I am thinking prehaps taking a picture triggers it to turn the photo stream on?

    I'm having the same problem and I need help because i do not want pictures to go to all my devices! Have yu learned how to stop this?

  • HT201317 I backed up my iPhone 4 to the cloud. Now I've downloaded the back up to mynre iPhone 5. I've turned in photo stream on my new device but my photo stream isn't complete. What's up?

    I Backed up my iPhone 4 to the cloud before purchasing my iPhone 5. I downloaded the back up to my new device, turned on photo stream but now all my photos aren't showing up in my stream. Any ideas?

    Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  Older photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud to receive.  If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up your device, restoring the backup should recover them.

  • TS1503 If I turn off photo stream on my I phone 5 will I loose the pictures in photo stream and  camera roll?

    I have duplicate pictures in my camera roll and photo stream. If I turn off photo stream will I loose pictures in both areas?

    If you turn off Photo Stream, all photos in Photo Stream only, will be removed from your device.

  • In activating Photo Stream in iPhoto on my iMac, I followed the instructions up to this point:  Click Turn On Photo Stream (on the right).  There is nothing on the right.  So, how do I now turn on Photo Stream?

    Not really sure where you are looking, does this help.

  • Every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?

    every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?

    I have exactly the same problem with  iPhoto. On my iPad I just enabled Photo Stream once and it automatically is enabled each time I turn it on again. But on my MacBook Pro and my older tower Mac (both running Lion) I have to enable Photo Stream every time I reboot the computer. Frustrating.

  • Turning off photo stream on a lab of iPads sharing an iCloud account

    I've turned off photo stream in iCloud on a lab of 30 iPads using the same iCloud account.  In the iCloud settings though, it shows that Photos is on even though when I tap Photos it shows Photo Stream is off.  What can I do to really turn it off?  Is it possible there is another device outside of the lab using this iCloud account that has photo stream turned on?

    You can't save photos in iCloud that are not also on your device.  If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud and they will be lost.  Normally, you would save them to your camera roll (unless they are already there), then import them to a computer as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.  If you don't have access to a computer, you'll need to upload them to a different cloud service prior to deleting them, such as Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/84).
    Another option is to save any photos in your photo stream that are not already in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off photo stream.  This will remove the photo stream photos from your device (and free up the space they are using) but you'll still have them in your camera roll.

  • HT201077 I have turned off photo stream on my iphone but the icloud photos dont disappear

    I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
    They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
    My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.
