9.4.1 Shared Photo Streams - my Photo Stream stopped functioning altogether

I've been experiencing unexplained problems with the Shared Photo Stream feature. After creating a new shared photo stream and adding a couple of photos to it iPhoto shows the number of shared pictures as 0. I eventually managed to get an album shared with iPhoto 9.4 a couple of weeks ago after creating and deleting a shared stream a couple of times. Today I decided to created another shared stream using iPhoto 9.4.1, left the 'Share with' empty, enabled public sharing, added a couple of photos and voilà, same problem. Only worse this time around. I'm getting the following messages in the Console:
25. 10. 12 22:15:41,262 PhotoStreamAgent[282]: <MSASStateMachine: 0xYYYYYYYYYYY>: Encountered error: NSURLError:

I tried disabling and reenabling the Photo Stream option in iCloud settings - seems it made it even worse, now I'm unable to access even the basic Photo Stream, let alone the shared ones!!! I tried resetting the Photo Stream via iCloud control panel on www.icloud.com, no effect... I switched to my MacBook, enabled the Photo Stream - same errors on both my iMac and MacBook. I am beginning to wonder whether first-gen iPad with iOS 5 connected to the same iCloud account could be causing problems. I disabled its Photo Stream, reset the Photo Stream again, no effect . Anybody experiencing similar problems?

Try logging out of your iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane and then log back in and try again.  If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
If it does log into another user account on your Mac and try there.  All this is to try to narrow down where the problem is originating, your library, user account or the iCloud account itself. This is a first but I'm sure that's not very reassuring to you at this time.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Shared Photo Stream - Some photos will hang Aperture

    Hi,
    I am using Aperture 3.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4. Turned on My PhotoStream and Shared Photo Stream. Works great, except when trying to add certain photos to a Shared Photo Stream (older photos it seems). Doing so causes Aperture to enter this odd semi-hung state, where it is no longer responsive to the mouse in the main Aperture window, but the menus at the top still respond, and you can navigate around your photos with the keyboard (e.g. arrow keys). The thumbnail of the picture I tried to share remains stuck on the screen, even when you scroll away with the arrow keys. Lastly, you can switch out of Aperture (send it to the background), but when you click in your other, now-topmost, application, Aperture jumps back to the top, the other app never "catches" the mouseclick.
    Anyone seen this? I have tried:
    - Repair the Library
    - Turn off My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in Aperture, Quit, delete ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement, restart Aperture, turn My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams back on.
    - Duplicating the photo (version) I am trying to share, and try sharing the duplicate. Same result.
    Pretty frustrated at this point. I have seen this exact semi-hang described at the bottom of this ApertureExpert forum thread, so I know it is not a total one-off thing...
    Any one get out of this?

    Hmmm... very curious results as I continue to troubleshoot:
    With a problematic photo:
    - Do a New Version from Original,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: hangs as described above.
    - Export the original, import back into Aperture, try to add to Shared Photo Stream: works
    - Do a New Version from Original,  adjust exposure,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: works!
    - Do a New Version from Original,  Delete Preview,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: hangs as described above.

  • Shared Photo Stream as default stream?

    We have 4 iPhones and was hoping to set up Photo Stream so each phone could see every other phones photos.  Do photos have to be shared manually or is there a setting (I am missing) that will simply push ALL photos taken to the shared photo stream?  I also have Apple TV's and it would be nice to be able to pull up photos from my family's phones without using AirPlay or texting them to my account.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do all thes devices use the same AppleID, or different?
    If they use the same AppleID, then all devices will already share the same "view" of Photo Stream.
    If they use different AppleIDs, each AppleID must create its own Shared Photo Stream, and invite the other AppleIDs to subscribe. The user must manually add photos to the Shared Photo Stream to make them visible on the other devices.

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

    My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works.  I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong!  I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).  I've enabled iCloud Drive on both.  iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
    I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends.   iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud.  I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one. 
    So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled.  However, it doesn't seem to work.  The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
    I've just done the following test:
    I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
    On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
    In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
    I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
    On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
    A  minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream.  So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
    Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen.  If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself.  Am I right?  Why only 37?
    On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
    I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
    In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
    Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
    If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
    In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
    Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos.  I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
    I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
    Can anyone help?  If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
    Thank you!

    Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
    1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
    2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
    3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
    4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
    5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
    6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally

  • How can I see photos from my photo stream on my pc with the iCloud application installed on my pc.

    I want to download the photos from my iCloud onto my PC.  I installed the iCloud for PC and can open it, but cannot figure out how to see the photos.  Photo Streaming in turned on for the iCloud.

    Check Pictures>Photo Stream>My Photo Stream.  Note: when you turn it on you will only see photos from the last 30 days as photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  If you want to stream older photos to your PC, create a shared photo stream containg the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • How can i remove photos from my photo stream?

    I guess like everyone else I've been messing around with photo stream and adding random pictures to test it out. But I'd like to be able to remove images from photo stream too but for thre life in me I can't find a way to do it. Doe's anyone have any idea/tips? Or has Apple just made a big mistake??

  • HT4906 My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams.  How can I make them the same?

    My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it.  But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it.  The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
    Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
    Thanks!

    The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.

  • I can't see any photos in "My Photo Stream" Folder

    I opened up photo stream in my 4s(6.1.2),when I take some photos,I can see the new photos in the photo stream page on 4s,and I can see them in my MBA(10.8) and apple tv,but there aren't any photos sync into my PC(win7 sp1 x64),I reinstall icloud control panel(the latest version,2.1.2.8) many times,but still do not see that it will sync photos,please help me,thanks.

    I have a similar problem Win 8 iCloud 3. Shared photostreams sync ok and my photostream syncs on other devices. Interesting enough, when I access photostream through the "my computer" option on Apple TV I see a whack of pictures that don't appear on any of my IOS or Windows Photostreams.

  • In iOS8 not all my photos automatically downloading (Photo Streaming) to my PC

    Only some of my Photos are downloading (Photo Streaming) from my iPhone6 to my PC?

    You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
    Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream.  They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

  • HT5262 If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

    If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

    They will be deleted from iCloud any other devices that are sharing the account/photo stream.  They shouldn't be deleted from Dropbox.  As I understand it, Dropbox only automatically uploads photos, it doesn't automatically delete photos.

  • Understanding photo stream and Photos

    I have installed Photos and migrated my Aperture library.
    iCloud Photo Library is turned OFF
    My Photo Stream is turned ON
    iCloud Photo Sharing is turned ON
    I have photos on my iPad and iPhone. These and my desktop machine are all logged into the same iCloud account.
    There are several recent photos on my iPhone which are not showing up in Photos "My Photo Stream." Some older ones do.
    The "missing" photos show up on my iPhone (device used to take photo) and have automatically transferred to the photo stream on my iPad. They simply don't show up on the desktop in "photos."
    Any ideas why or how to correct this?
    On a related topic, how does Photo Stream actually work...
    If I delete a photo on one device, is it deleted on all devices?
    If I "import" photos to my Photos library (connect phone to computer and import) do these photos exist in both the stream and on my computer? In other words, after import, am I able to delete these items from the photo stream while retaining the imported version on my computer?

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • If I have streamed my photos from my iPhone 5 to my iPad, through icloud, can I now delete them from my phone or will this cause them to be deleted from my iPad also. I need to do an update and free some space

    I have icloud. I have backed up my photos from my iPhone 5 to my iPad. Can I now delete the photos from my phone and they will stay on my iPad? I need to clear space in order to run an update.

    I get the following warning message when deleting a shared Phoyo Stream:
    "Name of Stream" will be deleted from all of your devices and the devices of subscribers."
    It pops up because that is what will happen. It does not mean photos stored locally in iPhoto on your Mac will be deleted.
    If iPhoto is set to automatically import photos in your Photo Stream and store locally on Mac, you are covered with photos copied to "My Photo Steam". I don't believe that includes the photos in a shared photo stream you create or that you accept which was created by someone else. I can add photos to a shared stream from photos on my iPhone that were transferred from my computer. If those were saved by iPhoto on my Mac as well which are already in iPhoto on my Mac, I would not want that.
