IPhoto '11 (version 9.4) Is Not Working With "My Photo Stream"

OS X 10.8.2
iPhoto '11 version 9.4 (701.64)
iOS 6 on iPhone 4 and third generation 64 GB WiFi iPad
All iCloud services I require are enabled on all three devices - most important for this issue being Photo Stream on my MBP (and, of course, my iPhone and iPad).
So, I am out of ideas and things to try here. I just want the photos in "My Photo Stream" to show up in the latest and greatest version of iPhoto. So far I have:
Disabled and re-enabled Photo Stream via iCloud preferences panel and in iPhoto itself using every possible combination of disable and enable between the two and ordering those disables and enables in every possible way with many MBP restarts.
Reset Photo Stream via iCloud.com followed by the futility of repeating Step 1.
Logged out of iCloud on my MBP, restarted, signed back into iCloud, restarted, launched iPhoto. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Performed every repair and rebuild option for my iPhoto library's permissions, thumbnails and database. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Went so far as to download and apply the 9.4 update manually hoping that maybe a reinstall of the update would correct something that might have gone wrong during some Software Update process when 9.4 was first made available. Repeated Steps 1, 2 and 4.
In the end, when I launch iPhoto and go to Photo Stream and open "My Photo Stream", sometimes I see it downloading a given number of photos and then it ends up saying "No photos". So what was downloaded? Where did those photos go? Sometimes when I launch iPhoto and go to "My Photo Stream" nothing happens at all and it just says "No Photos". And another strange thing is that "My Photo Stream" in iPhoto on my MBP indicates that it was updated March 5, 2012 and I can think of nothing special that happened on that date. I don't get it.
Why does my Photo Stream work perfrectly between my iPhone and iPad? What is the problem with iPhoto on my MBP? Am I the only one dealing with this specific issue?
I did not buy iPhoto from the App Store. I bought it outside of the App Store and have kept it updated. Is that a problem? If so, why? I do not see what reason Apple would have to make me pay for the same product twice.
I have not tried creating a shared stream yet. I see no reason to try that if I cannot get my own photo stream to work in iPhoto on my MBP.
Is there anything I am missing here. I have read the Photo Stream FAQ and myriad other support documents and community threads. I am a pretty savvy Apple guy with years of experience behind me and pretty much know what I am doing. But, I am human and maybe I'm missing somehting here. So, any help would most certainly be appreciated.

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

  • Need version 3.5.2 as other versions of firefox do not work with yahoo small business website (as of last week).

    I use yahoo site solution small business online web tools for 3 websites, they updated the tools and now I can't use their tools. They have told me that I need version 3.5.2 of Firefox and this will work with their site. I have tried to download off mac.oldapps.com but I can't get that version. I did try updating to the latest version of firefox and that doesn't fix the problem with yahoo site solution. Where can I get version 3.5.2?

    If you are going to install an older version of Firefox 3.5.*, it would be best to try 3.5.13 which is the latest 3.5 version of Firefox and has the latest security fixes. This is available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • IPhoto change time and date does not work with Flickr

    Hello everyone,
    In my iPhoto librairies, I do change my photo date and time to set them we they were actually taken. Here, I'm refering especially to photos which are:
    * scanned photo
    * stiched photo
    The issue is:
    When I share these photo on Flickr, Flickr sort them with the previous date time setting, even if I have selected to change the original file in iPhoto.
    So it is painful to end up seeing that all the work done on iPhoto is not reflected elsewhere.
    This issue can only be in iPhoto as the old date time should be swapped with the new one.
    Let me know when the fixed will be implemented so I stop loosing precious time editing photos!
    Regards,
    Francois

    I have an Access Database created with Access 2010 installed on a machine running Windows 8 using the Access 2010 Runtime code. For the most part the database works but all reports that require a date in the header come out with ##error. Works fine
    with full access on any other machine. Just this one were we are using Runtime. Any ideas?
    Make sure you don't have Date used as a Field Name, as it is a Reserved Word in Access and can cause unpredictable behavior.
    Also make sure you have compiled the VBA code, before using the Runtime version.
    Have error handling in place, to capture errors in your DB.
    Hope these pointers help,

  • The latest version of iTunes will not work with my windows platforms. It cannot access the windows runtime library.

    The latest iTunes can't access my windows (including Vista 32 & 64bit, nor Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit versions) "Runtime" library. I've tried reloading the windows suggested .dll as well as doing a system restore and also downloaded the iTunes update and load it manually, but nothing will work. Is Apple aware of the problem and planning to release a fix, or do I have to abandon iTunes and my iPod?

    Hello there, Enantiomer.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some recommendations for troubleshooting:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Latest version of QuickTime is not working with most websites

    I have noticed that since I started running QT 7.0+, many of the websites that appear to have a QT media interface are coming up with a "Q" (opaque) with a question (?) mark in it. I did not have this problem before going to 7.0. Anybody else experiencing this or has found a remedy?
    I generally run with Safari (latest version).

    This is what worked for me:
    Go to "Home" folder
    Go to "Library"
    Go to "Preferences"
    Grab "com.apple.Safari.plist" and drag it to your desktop.
    restart your computer.
    you will have to reset your safari preferences(tabbing and such), but quicktime should work.
    If this works, then just throw the "com.apple.Safari.plist" that's on the desktop in the trash.

  • Full version windows 8.1 not working with pc itunes 11.1.1 64bit

    Hello guys.
    Not preview but the full released 8.1 pro with media centre (windows system - upgraded by windows app to windows 8.1)
    I cannot get apple itunes ver 11.1.1 pc 64bit - to load or run - even after uninstall and reinstall.
    any clues please ?

    Hi debbor-pheonix:
    I had the same problem, but another member posted this and it worked beautifully.  Let me know if you have any problems.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Hopefully you've resolved  your issue already, but if not, it'll work.

  • Can I download an earlier version due to apps not working with 4 & 5 ?

    My computer got a virus, and in the process of fixing the problem, my Firefox version ( 3.6 ) was deleted. I was using this earlier version of Firefox pre-Firefox 4 & pre-Firefox 5. I did not upgrade because a service I was using ( IKEA kitchen planning ) is not enabled for 4 or 5 at this time. The IKEA planning site is very important & necessary for me at this time.
    Thanks

    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, get the Firefox 3.6 installer here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    You should be able to install Firefox 3.6 over whatever later version you installed. If you do choose to uninstall first, do ''not'' remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • 'Edit in Photoshop' not working with RAW photos

    I'm not sure when this started happening, but right now I can't open DNG or CR2 files (but JPEGs work fine) in photoshop either via the 'Edit in Photoshop' option, or the 'Merge to Panorama/HDR Pro in Photoshop' option. All it does is open the Photoshop application, but doesn't actually open the files I selected within Photoshop. I was able to add Photoshop CS5 in the 'Additional External Editor' section in the pref. pane which allowed me to open the RAW files in photoshop, but the Panorama and HDR Pro options still don't work. I tried reinstalling Photoshop, updated Camera Raw (and the rest of Adobe's products I have installed) to the latest version, reinstalling Lightroom 3.0, upgrading again back to 3.2, deleting the plist files in ~/Library/Preferences/ for both Lightroom and Photoshop, nothings worked. I'm running on a Mac so the registry hacks I've seen while googling aren't going to fix this issue. Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Imovie HD 6.0.3 not working with any photos that are 3MB or larger?!?

    I am unable to see any pictures I have taken with my new high resolution camera that takes photos at 3MB and larger file size. They can not be seen in the preview pain nor in the timeline bar to be able to edit them. I can use and see all my old photos that are less than 3MB in size just fine. I have tried changing my playback settings with no help. The strangest thing is though I can some times see them and manipulate them but inevitably they go black again in the preview pain and the time line in iMovie. Can anyone help.

    Thank you for your help but I have only deleted a few pictures and I have hundreds and none of them will render. They all still appear as black. And are you talking about re-importing all my new pictures into iphoto and then dragging them into imovie through the quick view media window? I went to one orignal photo and directly dragged and dropped it into a project that is having the trouble and it imports ok and then when the red bar in the time line makes it to the end of the picture frame section it goes black again. Also I created a brand new project and dragged and dropped 4 new original pictures into the time line and the same thing happened. The most confusing part is that it works fine with any older picture I have that is less than the 3MB size picture I have from our new 12 megapixel camera by Cannon which stores the files in .JPG format. Is it possibly a glitch or a corrupt program file within imovie itself? I have also restarted the program and the computer just in case and there is no change.
