Add photos to shared stream

Hi all.
Hope my English be comprehensible :-)
Yesterday evening at home I created a shared photo stream from within iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro (Mountain Lion, iPhoto & Aperture all with last updates).
I added two shots and shared them with one of my collegues adding her Apple ID. This morning she showed me the shared photos on her iPhone, as expected.
Now she can add a comment (this is ok) but she cannot add a photo to that stream: this is not a serious problem, but I wondered if it is possible to grant her some additional permission.
I looked in Apple documentation and found 3 links with different answer to my question.
Look here:
from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902?viewlocale=en_US
Can my friends and family add photos or videos to a shared stream that I created?
Yes, if you allow it.  When editing your photo stream to add or remove subscribers, you can turn on the option to allow subscribers to  add to your shared stream. Subscribers can contribute photos and videos to your shared stream if they have  an iCloud account and a compatible device with up-to-date software.
But look here:
from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11957
Note:   You can add photos only to photo streams you create. You cannot add photos to shared photo streams you subscribe to.
and here:

May be I'm missing some detail or misunderstand contents.
Now I'm at work, so cannot access my MBP, anyway I do not remember to have seen such an option when adding subscribers ...
How does it really work ?
Many thanks !

Update...
It seems something related to Os version.
A friend of my with iO7 on IPad told me he can add an Apple ID to a shared stream created by himself and let subscribers post on it, while on iPhone with iOS6 is not possible. After upgrade to iOS7 on iPhone the option appeared; anyway, I still cannot post on that stream from my MBP
Waiting for OSX Mavericks to try again...

  • Titles did not go with Photos to Shared Stream

    I created new titles for my photos in an iPhoto album, but the titles did not go to the shared stream with the photos. Why? How do you create new titles that will go with the photo?

    The should upload as long as your camera app is closed, you are connected to wi-fi and your phone has at least 20% battery life remaining.  Is it possible that these conditions have not yet been met since these photos were taken?

  • How do I add photos from camera roll to "My Photo Stream"

    I upgraded to iOS7. Used to be able to select photos -> share -> photostream -> and "My Photo Stream" was an option...
    In iOS7 i can not figure out how to do this. when I go to share -> icloud -> it shows other shared photo streams, but it does not show My Photo Stream as an option. If i try to add to album, i see My Photo Stream, but it's grey'ed out as a non option to click on?
    "My Photo Stream" is hooked up to my apple TV, and this was how I added photos from shared streams of other family memebers to it.

    Hi Bobnbo,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want the photos in your Camera Roll to be moved to My Photo Stream. The article linked below answers a lot of frequently asked questions about My Photo Stream, it should answer your question and give you some other general information you may be interested in also.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture automatically upload when you connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream upload.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and, under Favorites, select iCloud Photos if you're using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later (or Photo Stream if you're using 2.1 to 2.1.3). Open My Photo Stream. Click the Add photos button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to create shared photostream and let others add photos

    Creating a Photostream that allows others to add images can be done on my iOS7 devices, but it seems Aperture is missing the option to do it on the Mac. Am I missing something?

    Am I missing something?
    No, it is not yet possible to add to the shared streams created with iOS 7.02. You will have to wait for software updates that will make Mac OS X , Aperture, and iPhoto compatible with these new shared Photo Photo Streams. We are not allowed to speculate here, but let's wait and see, what the new MacOS X will bring.

  • HT201317 Using icloud to back up photos and shared photostream, why not updating?

    I've been manually backing up my camera roll on my windows 7 pc the old fashioned way (copying files through windows explorer) for some time, and have my pc as a whole backed up on a cloud product.
    I have this week however learned about icloud and the ability to back up the shared streams I'm subscribed to. I therefore installed icloud control panel and watched my family's streams appear in My Pictures.
    However, one shared stream did not transfer completely - there are 18 of my mum's pictures missing - and My Photo Stream has only transferred 70.
    Know there's a 30 day limit so given that is the first backup, it may not back up all 1000 as the earlier ones are older than 30 days, but the selection making up to 70 aren't the most recent as showing on my iPhone, so its no that. I took a whole lot together last weekend, one is on there but not the rest (for example).
    I can back up manually to get a complete set of my own photos but think I must be doing something wrong if it's missing some.
    I did go out after backing up first time, did I interrupt it , which is why there are only 70?  How do I restart it? - given that it didn't finish first backup.
    Also, I got home tonight, and the ones I've taken today have not transferred over.
    Is there something I'm supposed to do to trigger a backup? ( both to finish first back up, and to backup new ones too)
    Given that I'm using icloud more as a way of getting my photos and shared streams onto my pc, rather than backing up in icloud (as I have my own cloud too), what settings should I have on my iPhone, and what settings on iTunes?
    At the moment on iPhone In settings/icloud/storage & backup, I have icloud backup turned on.
    In iTunes, on the summary page for my iPhone (when plugged in) under Backups, I have 'iCloud' option ticked. Rather than 'this computer', when I change to 'this computer', the icloud setting on my iPhone gets turned to 'off'. I did hit the 'back up now' under 'manually back up and restore' in case that triggered it, and its showing a back up date and time of last night when I did this - but My Photo Stream is still at 70 - not complete transfer, or new ones - and mum's 18 still missing.
    Same page in iTunes, under 'Option' I have both 'sync over wifi' and 'manually manage music and videos' checked.
    I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple, any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Right, they're slowly reappearing. And My Photo Stream is updating this time too.
    So, is it signing in and out that did this? Is this what's supposed to happen?
    I should have said, I was looking for a way to back shared streams as we all have each others streams on our iOS devices and its filling up our storage, so we want to start deleting from the beginning, but not til we've backed up.
    However, if icloud works by constantly removing and rebacking up from what is on the device then, then this isn't the right solution for us, as it would remove the complete stream and back up a smaller stream after we've started deleting...
    Did i do something wrong here, was this supposed to happen?
    What should I have done?
    How do I stop this happening again?? I'm clearly not using icloud control properly!

  • HT201077 Can I share all my photos with my wife without having to constantly add photos to the shared photo stream?

    My family has an imac where we have a family photo library in iphoto.  The iphoto library is under my wife's profile.  My wife and I each have an iphone 4S.  I'd like all the photos my wife and I take on our iphones to automatically upload to the iphoto library on my wife's imac account.  I've tried a few different ways of doing this and none of them are ideal.
    My current solution works, but has some unwanted side effects.  Currently, my wife and I use the same main icloud account on our iphones.  This would be the perfect solution if it didn't take up the same icloud storage (among other issues). 
    It'd be nice if you could have 2 photo streams linked to the same iphoto library on a mac.  This way both my wife's photo stream and my photo stream would downloand to the same iphoto library.  It doesn't appear that iphoto for mac allows this.
    I realize I could do this the old fashioned way (outside of photo stream).  But, it seems as though there should be a solution that works automatically.
    Could there be a solution creating a shared photo stream on my iphone and sharing this photo stream with my wife?  I've looked into this but can't see how it would work automatically.  It looks like you have to manually add photos to a shared photo stream.  I'd like the shared photo stream to update itself to include all photos I take.
    Does anybody have a simple solution for this problem?

    There is not (yet) an easy solution to use an an iPhoto library with two separate My Photo streams.
    It might be easier to take the family photo library out of your wife's account and move it to a shared location, so boh of you can maintain it, see:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    This way, both of you could download automatically to My Photo Straem and your private iPhoto Libary, remove the worst pictures, and then export only the best shots to the shared library. This will make the shared library smaller and at the same time create a backup of the best pictures, and it will ensure that your family will never see a potentially embarrassing photo. Sharing My Photo Stream is really dangerous, because each and any picture you take will be added the PhotoStream, before you can delete it.
    As you may have seen at Apple's WWDC keynote presentation the new MacOS X Maverick will bring more sharing options for Photo Streams: Watch the keynote
    You may want to wait for the next software generation before doing any major reorgansition.

  • How to add a caption to photo in shared photo stream?

    Hi @all,
    I hope I am not right but there is no option of using the description/caption for a photo in my iPhoto library when I share it with other people in a photo stream?
    All I found was that you can use the comment field to add a caption-like text to each photo. But when I create a slideshow within iPhoto I then cannot use this comment text as a caption for the slideshow. This is completely useless to me as I would have to copy all my captions from the description field to the comment field to show them in a shared photo stream. Who at Apple came up with that idea? I might be wrong but isn't the caption feature one of the most important features when you share photos with other people? How should a fried know what a shared photo shows if I cannot add a descriptive caption to it?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Martin,
    there is no way to add captions, only the comments box in the Shared Stream.
    See this discussion:  Re: How do I get photo descriptions to show on photos uploaded to Photo Stream?
    The only textual annotation that can be streamed as part of the metadata of the shared photo is the filename (or  EXIF tags you added to the file in your camera or with other programs, like the copyright notice). So, to transfer a caption with your streamed photo, replace the filename by a caption.  You can do that in iPhoto by exporting your photos using "File > Export" and selecting "Filename > Use Title" in the export panel. This will use your current titles as the filenames. Then reimport the  exported photos and share the reimported photos with the changed filenames. You can delete the reimported files from the library after sharing them, but don't delete them from the stream.

  • My Ipad's photo program freezes while trying to add a picture to a shared stream.

    My Ipad's photo program freezes while trying to add a picture to a shared stream.
    I click into the photo click the box with the arrow and once I click "iCloud" nothing happens. I have to force quit the app to regain control. The photo does not add. I tried this with my iphone (both io ios 7) and the phone works fine.

  • Can I add photo's to a shared photo stream created by my friend?

    Me and my friends are sharing photo streams with the new feature in iOS6, and we noticed that only one person can add the photos and the rest can view. Is there a way for my friends to be able to add photos to the photo stream that I am sharing with them. It is kind of pointless if this feature is not available becuase we have to have 3 separate photo streams to view all 3 of our photos, when we could just simply do it in one.

    In iPhoto Drag them to the shared PhotoStream that yoou wan tto add them to

  • HT201317 Can my friends add photos in my shared Photo stream folder?

    I shared a photo stream with some friends. they are unable to add photos into the album. Is this functionality available like that in dropbox where everyone in the shared folder can add data in?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Only the owner can add photos, comments can be added by everyone.

  • HT201317 Who can add photos to a shared Photos Stream?

    I shared a Photo Stream with family & friends and successfully shared photos with them. Can they add photos to my Photo Stream too?  Or am I the only one that can add/delete photos from my Photo Stream?

    As mentioned in your other post, the ability for others to add photos to a shared photo stream is coming in iOS 7.

  • HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

    As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • I can't find list of subscribers on my shared photostream. I did follow the directions. After I clicked edit in my shared stream, there was no add people or subscriber option

    I can't find list of subscribers on my shared photostream. I did follow the directions. After I clicked edit in my shared stream, there was no add people or subscriber option. There was nothing but the photos. I just wanted to invite more people to subscribe.

    Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
    There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

  • Automator script to move photos to shared photo stream in iPhoto?

    Is there anyway to automatically add new photos, as they are being imported, into a shared photo stream? They default to the main photo stream, which the client will not be subscribing to. If not within iPhoto itself, is there anyway to create an Automator workflow that will do this automatically? The client wants an elegant solution.
    Here is the process that I would like to accomplish. A photo is taken with a point and shoot containing an Eye-Fi card. The photo is sent to iPhoto, where it is added to the shared photo stream. The client can view the photos taken at the site, but not worry that his personal photos from his iPhone will end up back on the work computer where this process began. (He will turn off the "My photo stream" slider on his iPhone).
    Since I can find no way to get the photos taken from the camera to default to the shared photo stream, can Automator move these photos to that photo stream throughout the day?

    I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
    Have you tried to share only a few photos at a time? When I am sharing a small number of photos all it once, it works.
