Aperture 3.4.3 - shared photo stream option missing

Shared Photo Stream option missing from Preferences in Aperture 3.4.3.  When I move photos over to "Shared Photo Stream" under Recents, it seems to import the images, but I'm not sure where they're going....i.e. I never specified a Shared Photo Stream name to associate them with.  Thoughts?  I'm running 10.7.5.

Where do you see "Shared Photo Stream" under "Recent"?
The Photo Streams are supposed to appear in the "Web" section of the library, not in the "Recent" section. Are you seeing a recent project there, accidentally named "Shared Photo Stream"? Then you are dragging your images to a project, and not to a stream.
Look in the "Web" section of the Library inspector for "Photo Stream". If the stream is hidden, hover with the mouse to the far right of the title "WEB", until the word "Show" appears.
Selecting a stream and opening should make the "PhotoStream" button appear in the footer of the window.

  • Shared photo stream option missing iphoto 11

    In Iphoto / preferences there is a missing option to check
    Shared photo streams.
    Iphoto 11 - upgrade
    OSX 10.7.5
    Anyone know how to resolve ?

    Upgrade your OS - shared PhotoStream requires OS X version 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or newer and IOS 6.0 or later
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

  • Shared Photo Stream Option Missing

    I just downloaded iOS6 on my iPhone 4 (not 4S).  In settings->photos & camera THERE IS NO OPTION FOR ENABLING SHARED PHOTO STREAMS.  There is only the standard option (which is "ON") for enabling "My Photo Stream".
    Is this feature limited to the 4S?
    Is this feature limited by location?  I AM LOCATED IN CHINA - China Unicom is my service provider (official provider and reseller of the iPhone here).
    Thanks,
    Summer

    So, I got it working, but I'm not 100% sure what resolved the problem.  They key is that apparently there are updated "iCloud terms of service", and you need to read and accept those before this feature will "appear".  For some reason during the install it didn't ask me to review and accept updated iCloud terms of service.
    But how to get the iCloud terms of service to show up?  I have no idea.  I can say I turned photo stream (the basic service) on / off a couple of times, and I turned my network connection on / off a couple of times.  I was just fiddling around, basically, and suddenly I saw a message saying "iCloud terms of service have changed", and then it displayed a new terms of service, and after I accepted them the option for shared photo streams appeared.
    The exact same thing happened on my iPad (3rd gen), which I just updated today as well.  Weird.
    Just for the record, I am now left with A DIFFERENT problem - iMessage and FaceTime will not activate.  But that's a topic for another thread, I think.

  • Shared photo stream option not shown in settings

    i downloaded ios 6 in around the first hour that it was launched and i cannot find the menu that can turn on shared photo streams. i have a 4th gen ipod touch. i looked in the settings under the photos and camera menu as well as the share button on a picture in my camera roll, and it is not there.

    I just figured the solution out! It worked for me..
    The iCloud terms of use has changed, so this option is disappeared. You have to agree with the new terms.
    So delete the icloud from your iDevice and, add it again.
    Hope it work 4 u..

  • I recently changed my apple id after closing an old yahoo email account. Now all of my shared photo streams are missing. Is there a way to get them back? One in particular was all photos of my first baby, my 8 month old daughter :(

    Please help!

    OK, so a couple of things:
    Did you delete the iCloud account and re-add it with the updated AppleID? If not, then do so.
    Also, try resetting the iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears. Then recheck your photostream.

  • Can't see shared photo streams in Aperture

    I have created a number of photo streams and shared them with my wife.
    My wife has accepted the streams and can see them on her iPhone.
    She uses Aperture on the Mac but cannot see the streams there.
    She has the three checkboxes on the photo streams tab checked, and her own photo stream is visible.
    Under the web section in the Aperture library browser, photo stream doesn't appear - her Facebook entry shows up, but not photo stream.
    Photo stream shows in the recent section of the library browser, but that is just the photos in my wife's own photo stream, you don't see the individual streams that I can see under photo stream under web in my Aperture view.
    My wife has photo stream checked in settings -> iCloud on her Mac.
    Any suggestions?

    I attach four screenshots Yann - one is the project hierarchy - where you'll see PhotoStream appearing in Recent items, but not under the Web section (where you do see Facebook) and the other the preferences pane for PhotoStream in Aperture showing all three boxes checked.
    Attachments one and two are from my wife's computer - where she's not seeing shared PhotoStreams.
    Attachments three and four are from my computer - we I do see them.
    What I notice when I compare these side by side is that there is a difference in the setting panel for photo stream between the two.  Mine has a fourth option for shared photo streams - my wife's doesn't.
    Yet both s/w versions for Aperture are 3.4.5.  There is a difference in what is listed in the Aperture version after the version number, but both computers are fully up to date with no further updates available.  (Final two images first my wife's then my s/w version)
    Is your view/settings any different?

  • No option to create shared photo stream?

    I'm using Aperture 3.4.1 on both my iMac and my MacBook and am unable to create a shared photostream on either. 
    According to the instructions at http://help.apple.com/aperture/mac/3.3/#aprd8aa8a57, the user is supposed to:
    To create a shared photo stream
    Select the photos you want to share, then do one of the following:
    Choose File > Share > Photo Stream.
    Choose Photo Stream from the Share pop-up menu in the toolbar.
    In the Photo Stream dialog, choose New Photo Stream from the Photo Stream pop-up menu.
    In the To field, type the email addresses for your invitees., etc.
    However, I never receive a Photo Stream dialogue or an option to choose "New Photo Stream".  When I click on PhotoStream from File>Share, Aperture immediately begins uploading the photos to my main feed.  Occasionally there is a flash that makes me wonder if Aperture is somehow suppressing a dialogue box.
    Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

    You are not mentioning your Mac OS X Version:
    Just to be sure: Are you running MacOS X 10.8.2? Otherwise you cannot use a Shared PhotoStream.
    And you have to enable "Shared PhotoStream" in "System Preferences > Photo Stream > Options".

  • 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?
    Message was edited by: nolamike

    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.

  • HT4858 Aperture / iPhoto shared photo streams

    But when I try to upload say 1500 photos to shared photostream from aperture, it just gives an error saying 1000 is max.  It doesn't upload any at all. I got the impression from this article that it would upload the first 1000 and then continue uploading as allowed but in fact it gives the error and does not upload anything.
    Trying it in iPhoto it claims I have some files that are not jpeg, raw or png.  I tried smart albums but iPhoto 11 doesn't appear to have a way to filter file types.
    All of this to try to make my Apple TV 3 5.1.1 screensaver show more than 200 of my 45000 photos.

    Yes that may be true but it is not relevant to my stated goal.   I am acutely aware of the limitations Apple TV has on HomeShare - it seems to limit to about 200 pictures regardless of how many you share.  I understand it has hard disk limitations but it should in fact be able to stream them over the network.  It doesn't and I think that is a bug not a feature request.
    However in using regular Photo Stream the ATV3 does seem to stream or at least cycle through all 1000 photos.
    The shared photo stream seemed like a workaround, since I have over 45,000 photos, and my simple goal is to have them randomly displayed on my tv.   I don't need all 45000 to be there simultaneously or cumulatively: 1000 per day even is more than enough, and pushing those out of the queue for the next 1000 would be no problem in fact helpful.
    It's just that the article seems to indicate that once reaching a limit iPhoto or Aperture will resume uploading once the time limit has passed.  That does not seem to be the case and so now it seems the workaround will have to involve a script perhaps though I don't know if there is a feature like that in either of the programs.
    And I appreciate the reply Winston, but I would appreciate solutions rather than roadblocks from your expertise. Thanks.

  • More about public website option in shared photo stream

    Can you require a password/authentication to enter the public website of the shared photo stream?
    I want to share photos with non-Apple users. I know how to do this - through electing the 'public website' option 'so anyone can view them' when creating the shared photo stream.
    My question focuses on how secure is this public website? Does it really mean "anyone" in the public could technically view them whether or not I added them to the subscriber list? Is it possible to require a password for my subscribers to view the website?
    I'd be sharing family photos of my new baby boy and I'm not wild about the idea that any "Joe Schmoe" out there could potentially view them if they somehow found or got access to the link to the shared photo stream.
    You could do this with MobileMe through the My Gallery. If iCloud is supposed to be "superior" to MobileMe, I would think sharing photos with people, even non-Apple users, securely would be even easier with iCloud.
    Thanks.

    Incidentally you mght like to look at SmugMug - this allows password protection of galleries, together with a password hint if required.

  • Aperture does not show tick box for shared photo stream as promised on the help screen

    I try to configure Aperture for iCloud shared Photo Stream. According to the help screen, I should select Preferences and see a panel with 4 tickboxes. The first three relate to My Photostream and work fine on all my devices. The crucial fourth tick box for sharing with others however does not show however. What else should I set-up to see the 4th tick box ? 

    You need:
    'A Mac with OS X v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later'

  • When I switch on Photo Stream I don't see an option to switch on shared photo stream

    I am wanting to share an album from iphoto on my Mac (I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) but when I switch on Photo Stream, I am not getting an option to switch on Shared Photo Stream.  Consequently, when I share the photos I've selected from the album to photo stream, I don't get asked for the email addresses of the people with whom I want to share the photos.  Any suggestions?

    this is my problem....I have OS X Mountain Lion v 10.7.5 ie not v 10.8.2 or later...
    That's your problem. You have 10.7.5 -  which is Lion.
    You need to upgrade your OS to 10.8 - which is Mountain Lion.

  • 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:

  • HT201077 Shared Photo Streams do not upload full sized photos!

    Oh boy, so it seems that Apple's "optimized for your device" policy with photos has reared its ugly head again (PLEASE, just give us an option for optimizing the size or leaving it the original size like you do for compressing songs to 128kps on our devices!!!!)!  The addition of Shared Photo Streams seemed a godsend to me, as prior to iOS 6, my wife's iPhone was stuck in this iCloud ID ghetto, where her device's main account was mine so that we shared the same Photo Stream.  This way, when I went into Aperture on the Mac to process and import photos to our home library, all of our mobile pictures were in one place.  This came with the consequence that the other "main" iCloud features, such as (inexplicably) Safari syncing, were unusable to her as they were from my personal settings.  So once shared Photo Streams came about, I thought "Perfect!  Now I can just share all of my photos to her iCloud ID, and then all of our combined pictures will show up in Aperture!"  The problem is that, when I looked at the pictures on the Mac from the shared photo stream, they only were available at the "optimized" 3 megapixel resolution for iPhone, not the original 8 megapixel pictures are the photos from the main iCloud ID ones are.  This is a huge deal for two reasons, 1.  I can't import and process these pictures for saving permanently they're more than HALF the original resolution, 2. Anyone that I share photos to, friends, family, who want to maybe save those to their computer for printing and whatnot, are ALSO stuck with a halfbaked low resolution file!
    I did have the a-ha idea, that perhaps if I shared photos from Aperture on my mac to my wife's Photo Stream, perhaps it would then share the full resolution photo as that's what Aperture gets from iCloud's servers.  Alas, no, still the shared photo stream only gets the compromised file.  There has GOT to be a way for the full resolution pics to be shared, otherwise the service is nearly useless to me!  As far as I knew, shared photostreams just link to the original files, so it's not like this will take up any more space on Apple's servers.  If someone has a solution, let me know!
    The only other solution is to allow the use of more than one Photostream account on a Mac with Aperture.  I feel that this is a no-brainer, and a little silly.  Either you provide family style iCloud accounts for uses like Photo Stream, or you accept that every iOS user in a family will have their own Photo Stream.  This means that they need to be able to be accessed on the same family computer.

    I have this same issue except with iPhoto.  We each have our own computers and I thought the shared photostream would allow us to each have all the photos, but they aren't full sized. 

  • Shared photo streams don't appear anymore after icloud account change

    Hi guys,
    I've two icloud accounts: account A and account B.
    Some days ago I switched my main icloud account (on my iPhone) from Account A to Account B.
    Today I come back to Account A, and I expected to have again in my iphone all the Shared photo streams I had (both created by me and subscribed).
    Instead in my iphone I cannot find any of my streamed stuff.
    Can you help me to find again my streams?
    Thanks!
