2 macs running ML and iphoto 11 - one mac cannot access photos

Question

We have 2 macs (I also have an iphone).  They are both running ML and I bought Iphoto 11 for both of us.  I can log on to my computer and get into icloud and see all of my pictures.  My computer has no issues and works well....I have enabled both checkmarks for sharing in photostream.  I log on with MY apple ID and password and see all additions to my pictures taken with the iphone.
When I try to get my husband's machine to work, I log onto HIS account and I can see typical Icloud stuff...so he can access Icloud.  My problem is that I have enabled Photo Stream on his computer; have checked the boxes for share with others and share.  I have enabled everything I can.  I have gone to System Preferances in Cloud to make sure all settings are correct.
Every time I want to enable photostream/iphoto to cloud - I get an message saying he has to log into his Cloud account - but he IS logged in.  I can see it.  Also it says that Iphoto cannot get into his Cloud account - check System Preferances.  but everything there is OK.
It does say I can 'reset' Icloud but then it says "are you sure? you'll lose everything"....so I haven't pushed that last button.   Do I just reset?  It should pick up all of his information again right?  The problem is I have to airdrop any pictures to him and he does it for me - and we shouldn't have to do that with cloud.  We both have our own apple id accounts - which I verified.
Also, I don't want to share ALL of our information - just the pictures and I want him to be able to get MY Iphone pictures and well as my getting his.  (He doesn't have an iphone yet but he'll be getting one soon.)  Right now he depends on MY Iphone pictures - goes to my icloud which I have shared with him.  He should be getting these with no problem - except his account seems to be corrupted.
Seems there is a glitch with his icloud iphoto connection.  What is procedure to fix this?

Answer 1

To share pictures, you can always set up a "Shard Photo Stream" by using the tips below:
Set up on Mac:
1) Open iPhoto
2) On the left toolbar, select "Photos"
3) Select all the photos you want to share
4) Select "Share" at the bottom left of the window
5) Click Photo Stream
6) Here you can add them to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one
For a new one, just finish following the on screen instructions
Set up on iOS device (requires 6.0 or later):
1) Go to the Photos app
2) Select "Photos" from the toolbar at the top
3) Click "Edit" at the top right
4) Select the photos you wish to share
5) Click "Share"
6) Click "Photo Stream"
7) Here you can add the selected photos to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one.
For a new one, follow the rest of the on screen instructions
For the log in problem:
Make sure all software is up to date on his Mac by going to Apple logo>Software Update.  If you are running 10.7 (Lion) or earlier, it will open a separate window to check for software.  If you are running 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later it will open the Mac App Store to check for updates.
Once it is all updated, if you have the same problems, make sure all of his info is in iCloud by going to iCloud.com and confirming it is there.  If it is, go to System Preferences>iCloud and log out.  When it asks you if you would like to keep the data on your Mac select no.  It will bring up about 5 dialogs wanting to know the same thing for different applications.  Once he is all logged out, restart the computer.
When it turns back on, go to System Preferences>iCloud and turn it back on.  This should fix the problem.
