How do I add invitees to an existing photo stream on my iPad

I created a photo stream and invited a friend to it. Now. I want to add someone to the same photo stream from my iPad. I cannot figure out how to do this from my iPad. From iPhone it's easy, not the iPad though.....help please

From the iPad user guide located in your safari bookmarks:
Turn on Shared Photo Streams: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
Create a shared photo stream: Tap Photo Stream, then tap . To invite other iOS 6 or OS X Mountain Lion users to subscribe to your shared photo stream, enter their email addresses. To post the photo stream on icloud.com, turn on Public Website. Name the album, then tap Create.

Adding Subscribers to Shared Photo streams?

Recently created a photo stream/album that I identified to share with four individuals; however, realized that I needed to add some additional addressees. Unfortunately, I could not figure out exactly HOW to add new "subscribers?" I went to the Help Center, where their "Manage subscribers to your shared photo streams" information did outline steps; unfortunately, the instructions for adding new subscribers does not appear to be available on/in my system??? I can only see (have the options to change):
The Album name
Description
Deletion of those already selected
Turn on option for Public Website
...and no others???
Can anyone help in this?
Thanks.

Simply type an additional email address right into the brick with the heading "Shared with" that lists the current subscribers.

Are photos automatically added to iPhoto via photo stream?

I just noticed a new folder called photo stream on my iphoto? however Apple states that these photos are here because of the large storage on the computer....Are these saved on your computer permanantly and why don't they appear in the Photos tab?

That folder is what you have synced from Photostream. Once an image has ben pushed down from Photostream is permanently on your computer, with one small caveat that also ties into why you don't seem them in the Photos tab.
Once they are synced down, those images are stored permanently on your computer, but in a special bucket, outside of the main library. Part of the reason for this has to do with being able to "reset" Photostream in iPhoto. The short version is: to reset Photostream (to clear it out), you can go to iCloud and hit the reset button. Then, on each device that syncs Photostream, just turn the service off and back on. That will clear out the local cache of photos from Photostream. In this instance, those photos in that folder would be deleted.
If you want to make sure you never lose your photos, the easiest way is to move them into an event or album. Once you do that, they are copied to your iPhoto library. you'll see them in the Photos tab, and be able to edit and share them as you wish.

Have an existing photo stream that I have shared. I'd like to include others but can't figure out how to do it! Help, please!!

Hiya
I am becoming quite frustrated. I have created a photo stream to share photos with family but I'd also like to share the same photostream with friends. Just cannot figure how to do it.
If anyone has any advice, I'd be tremendously grateful!

Go to the photo stream you original created and bring up the Info tray at the right. Then add the email addresses of those you want to add to the access liste. This screenshot is for a private photo stream:

IPhoto not creating monthly Photo Stream Events

Up until last month, all photos that were brought into iPhoto via Photo Stream were being added to a (seemingly) automatically created monthly event of Photo Stream images. It seems to have stopped doing this and I was wondering if there was a way to reinitiate this.
I think what may have caused this to happen was that I renamed one of these monthly events (Apr 2012 Photo Stream) to something generic like "Spring" and added additional (non Photo Stream pictures) to it. Now, all new Photo Stream photos are dumped into this "Spring" event and I can't get iPhoto to create a new May 2012 Photo Stream event and dump all new photos imported into Photo Stream into it.
I've tried renaming "Spring" to Apr 2012 Photo Stream and adding a "May 2012 Photo Stream" but to no avail. It keeps wanting to add photos automatically to what I believe was the original "Apr 2012 Photo Stream" that has since been changed.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't and you are able to download successfully into the new library then your existing library needs repairs: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost and converted to albums. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My photo stream options are greyed out

and i cant select them to edit options im on a new laptop had icloud eworking on last laptop de-authoried it before switching to this one how do i get photo stream working again?
iphone 4s and windows vista laptop

You didn't do anything wrong. It appears that either your phone or your Mac are not connecting to your photo stream properly. Otherwise when you deleted the photo stream photos from your phone they would have been deleted from your Mac.
Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for them to download to your devices. After 30 days they are removed. Turn photo stream back on on your phone. You should only get back photo stream photos from the last 30 days, not all 900. If you get more than you want, you can delete them. If you get less, you can add them back using iPhoto (discussed below).
Then take a new photo on your phone while connected to wifi, close the camera app, open the My Photo Stream album on your phone and confirm that the photo appears after a few seconds. Assuming it does, open iPhoto on your Mac and see if the new photo appears in the My Photo Steam album on your Mac. (If you are already viewing the album on your Mac, you may need to click you events, then re-open your My Photo Stream album for new new photo to appear.) Assuming it does, delete the new photo from your My Photo Stream album on your phone and see if it deletes from your Mac after a few seconds. If it does, then things are working properly now and you'll just have to manually delete any photos on your Mac that you don't want. If things aren't working, reply back with your results and we'll take it from there.
Any missing photo stream photos that you still want on your phone can be added back to your photo stream from iPhoto, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#pht7aaade98.

My Photo Stream on iPad and Apple TV

I have 84 photos in My Photo Stream on my iMac and was previously able to get all of them in my screensaver on Apple TV. After a recent upgrade I can only get 3 pictures on Apple TV. On my iPad there are 18 pictures. How can all of the pictures be synced to all of my devices?

Hi Felicia G,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below will explain how Photo Stream works.
Another way to organize photos is to make sure they are automatically added to your computer and use Home Sharing to see them on your Apple TV.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the images in My Photo Stream are removed from that device. The images in My Photo Stream on your other devices are not affected. Images added to My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you added them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device. Before turning off My Photo Stream, it's a good idea to save any photos that you'd like to keep to your Camera Roll. Learn more about saving your photos to your Camera Roll.
How do I view My Photo Stream?
Apple TV: After signing in with your iCloud account, you can view your photos by choosing iCloud Photos or Photo Stream from the main menu (or selecting Internet > Photo Stream in Apple TV Software Update 5.0).
iTunes 11 for Mac: Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (2nd generation or later)
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12153?viewlocale=en_US
With Apple TV (2nd generation or later), you can stream content to your home theater system from your iTunes library, and the iTunes libraries of all the computers in your Home Sharing network. You can also stream digital photos stored on your computer.
Stream photos from your computer to Apple TV
Once Home Sharing is set up on your computer and on Apple TV, you can use iTunes to stream photos to your home theater system.
In iTunes, choose File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV.
In the window that appears, select Share Photos From, and choose a source from the pop-up menu.
Choose “All photos, albums, events, and faces” or “Selected albums, events, and faces.”If you chose “Selected albums, events, and faces,” select the albums, events, and faces you want to stream.
Click Apply.
Hope this information helps ....

Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
ERROR MESSAGE:
Photo Stream
Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button.
WHAT I NEED:
How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
What I've tried:
I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
I have photo stream checked.
I have my photo stream checked
I have shared photo stream checked.
I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
MY SET UP:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
4gb of RAM
iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

How does iPhoto import pictures from iPhone photo stream?

Sorry for so basic a question, but I thought I understood how this was working (in iOS 7 and this version of iPhoto 9.6) But now, in Yosemite, and iOS 8, I am not sure what is occurring.
My intent is to take pictures on the phone, and when I cable-sync with my iMac, I want to d/l and keep all of the new photos permanently in iPhoto. I have then gone to Image Capture, brought down a 2nd backup copy, and deleted them off the phone. This would leave me with an empty Camera Roll, but with 1,000 recent photos available on my phone, via the Photo Stream.
I've used iPhoto for years, and have a large number of pictures there. Recently, with the advent of the Photo Stream, I'm automatically getting Events added (and added to) like November Photo Stream in iPhoto, which has worked fine.
However, the last few times in iPhoto, I'm getting random photos showing up as unsynced... ones which should have been brought in previously. And today when I went to clear the photos off the phone in Image Capture it told me I had 2,400 pictures.
If someone could give me (or point me to) a primer on how this is now supposed to behave, I'd appreciate it. I'm afraid that Apple is structuring all of this toward iCloud-photo storage when they release Photos, and that will not work for me. I need to keep my pictures locally, although the Stream has been handy. I need to be sure I'm doing this in a reasonable way... the method I'm using doesn't seem to be working very well. Thanks again, for all advice.

If you go to the Photo App, then select photo stream, you can delete any of them by selecting the edit button and tapping on them. A delete button or trash can should appear. Excuse me for being a little vague...ive been on iOS 7 for a while now...

HT201317 photo stream not updating

Photos added to iPhone 4 Photo Stream folder do not update in PC folder. iCloud is enabled on phone and Windows 7, phone is Wi-Fi connected.

You may have enabled iCloud on your devices, but did you also turn on photo stream? Check in Settings>iCloud on the iPhone. Check the PC as well, but I don't know where that's done, as I use a Mac.

Photo Quality - Shared Photo Streams

Is there any method of changing the quality of photos within shared Photo Streams?
For example, there's a massive drop from 8MP to 3.1MP for photos taken with an iPhone 4S then added to a shared Photo Stream. This makes it pretty much useless if I want to easily share original quality photos with other family members.

Photos stored in 'Photo Stream' are uploaded to the server with the original photo quality (Apple: "On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space.")
When you access the photo stream with a Mac/PC, the photos will be at the same original quality, but on a device like the iPhone 3GS, however, the photos will be at a 'device optimized' resolution. So if you access the photo stream with an iPhone 3GS the photos will be a lower quality, but the photos on the server will still be at the original quality, which means you can retrieve the full quality photos if you have a Mac/PC.
With shared photo streams, however, the situation is a bit different. Apple states that "Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space", and therefore the photos are not uploaded to the server in the original resolution.

Updated a shared photo stream

After sharing a photo stream with a non-iOS user and then I add new photos to the same shared stream, do the individuals I am sharing with get another email to inform them of the new photos that were added to the shared photo stream?

Karl,
no, adjustments added after you shared an image to a stream, will not be updated in the stream.
Share the image again after updating it and delete the previous version from the stream.

Léonie

What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
Anyone know?

According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so). You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera. Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go). Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic. Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

Photo Stream Sharing Difficulties

My daughter is currently travelling in China and has shared a dedicated photo stream with me. She's on a 5C running 7 and I'm on a 4S running 7. I have been able to add photos to her stream which she can see, but I can't see any of her photos. She's a smart kid and we have checked that she's set it up all Ok - her battery is over 20%, she's connected to wifi, she's enabled sharing and she's adding the photos to the stream... I've run out of ideas why I can't see her photos. Can anyone suggest anything? I did start to wonder whether we're a victim of the Great Firewall of China...?

Well, 3 or 4 days after they were originally taken and added to the shared photo stream, all my daughter's photos have appeared on my device. Don't know what caused the delay (although the cynic in me thinks they were maybe being censored), but maybe, sometimes, you have to be a little patient.
