Access photo stream on imac

My iphone has malfuctioned and is not useable, but everything is saved to icloud. I cannot figure how to access the photo stream  from iCloud from the iphone camera , onto the new iMac. I was able to download my entire iTunes library onto my new iMac, but need help figuring out the photos. Thanks!

Here's an article that will help answer your questions regarding enabling PhotoStream on your iMac so that you can view and download the pictures into iPhoto. It's a great feature.

On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and check the box for Photo Stream. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that Photo Stream is turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.

  • TS3988 Can't access photo stream and icloud, despite having the right id/password

    I can access icloud online, and on my macbook pro. But for some reason, I can't access my storage preferences (it says: Details not available), nor can I access photo stream. I get an error message that says:
    Photos for the iCloud account “[email protected]” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
    When I click on 'review'
    I can also see my storage settings (after inputting my password), and everything is correct and up-to-date. Yet it won't load the storage details.
    I also don't want to sign out, because I get messages telling me that everything on my mac will be deleted, and I don't want to lose anything.
    What now?
    Thanks for your help,
    Lutz

    Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    With Aperture, you should be able to use Photo Stream now, but you need iPhoto 9.4.2 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608
    After updating iPhoto to the latest version, open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Photo Stream. Finally, you will have to turn on Photo Stream on iPhoto and Aperture choosing Photo Stream on the sidebar of both programmes

  • Access photo stream on new mac

    I have all my photos on my iMac and I can pick up my phot streamed pics just fine on my iPad and iPhone. But now I have a new Macbook Air, and I simply cannot figure out how to access any of my photos. I have set up all my folders on my Mac for sharing (right click folders, select Get Info, and selecting appropriate Sharing permissions), but I still cannot seem to access photos or even just my photo streamed photos. Any ideas, anybody?

  • I am unable to upgrade iphoto 8.12 to access photo streaming.  It gives an error message when I try to update

    Icloud shows photo stream not available since it states it needs Iphoto update required
    I go to Learn More next to the message
    It brings me to : Support/apple.com/kb/ht4906  iPhoto and Aperture: using Photo stream
    "IF YOU ARE USING AND EARLIER VERSION OF IPHOTO 9"
    There is a link to Mac App Store for update
    It brings me to iphoto:  Are you sure you want to subscribe to this photo feed?  I hit Subscribe
    A popup comes up: 
    There is a problem with the subscription
    Request to the server Macappstore://showUpdatespage failed.  
    I hit Ok (my only choice)
    And I am at iphoto. 
    What is the fix?
    I have spent many hours.

    If you have iPhoto 8.x and want to access photostreaming, you need to buy iPhoto 9 from the App store or buy the iLife '11 package. Have you already purchased iPhoto 9 from the App store?

  • How do I access Photo Stream to use as a screensaver?

    I have previously used my iPhoto Photo Stream as a screensaver on Apple TV.  It seems that each time I lose it (e.g., after a power failure) I have more and more difficulty restoring it.  The only screensaver listed on my Apple TV menu is National Geographic.  My Apple TV is 1st generation.  I cannot seem to find a link in iTunes.  I know I'm missing something, but what???

    Thank you for your response.  I discovered my mistake -- Home Sharing was not turned on on my Apple TV menu.  Duh!!! 
    I'm pretty sure that what I have is 1st generation , and I've always been able to access my photos in one way or another!

  • HT4858 why am I getting an error message while importing from iPhone photo stream to iMac ?

    I have not shared any photo for a few months.  I tried to import photos into my iMac from iPhone photostream and I get a message saying "an error occurred while importing photo, please try again later".  What am I doing wrong ?

    There's no need to import photos from your iPhone to your iMac. Photostream is synced automatically via iCloud on Wi-Fi.
    On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is switched ON.
    On your iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is selected.

    Log into iCloud (system preferences),  launch iPhoto and Turn on PhotoStream (iPhoto preferences) and look under PhotoStream in the source list in iPhoto - if you want, turn on auto import and / or auto upload in the iPhoto preferences

    I want to use photo stream but my apple TV sends me to support to see the TOS.  The support says to accept the TOS on my Ipad.  The Ipad isnt presenting me with a TOS.  I agreed to a TOS to get to this page, but that doesnt seem to apply. Toss ing  apple seems to be a monthly requirement.
