Aperture and Shared Photo Stream Issue

Just upgraded to Aperture 3.4
Selected a few photos from my library
Created a shared photostream
checked the box to create a public website
the site gets created and the URL is visible in that Photo Stream's settings
Safari says that "iCloud can't find that page"
Anyone else having the same problem?
This worked for me yesterday and doesn't today.

Precisely,
I also, as you did, created photostream and it all worked fine.
As soon as I deleted it and tried to create one again, I ended up with the error.
Sounds like a bug...

Well it definitely worked the first time I turned PhotoStream on (had never used it before). Created a public stream added images to it and I could get to it.
I then deleted the shared stream created a new one added images and when I tried to view them I got the message you got.
I when back to Aperture preferences turned off PhotoStream entirely, turned it back on and tried again, still no luck.
So this appears be another bump in the recent flood of updates that fell through. Hopefully they'll have it fixed soon.

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.

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 Streams not appearing in iPhoto.

I have a few Photo Streams that were recently shared with me. I can access them fine on my iPhone. When I am on my MacBook Air however, these Photo Stream folders are no where to be found.
I followed this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989 and more specifically double checked these instructions:
I don't see any photos or shared photo streams in the Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Check the following:
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud, and make sure the Photo Stream checkbox is enabled.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, choose Preferences > Photo Stream.
If you are using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that both the My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams checkboxes are selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
If you are using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import are selected.
Make sure your Mac has an an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
Everything was set up as suggested above.
My Macbook is on iPhoto 9.2.3, with OS 10.7.5
My iPhone is on 6.1.3
Additionally, when i view photos from a shared photo stream folder on my phone and then select to save one of the photos to my Camera roll, the photo is still not syncing to my Photo stream on the Mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Larry,
Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd... I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums. Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both. The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other! I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account. Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
Hardware/Software Specs:
MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
Aperture 3.5.1
iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
Note: I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that. Figured it's worth a shot!!

Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop will not let me accept an invite to a shared photo stream

I have downloaded and installed the uCloud Control Panel and made sure that Photos is ticked. I try to accept an invitation to view a shared photo stream but I get a message saying that it cannot be found. I know that this stream is still shared. Is it a 64 bit problem

Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

Can IPTC metadata be included in Shared Photo Streams?

I was surprised that my version name and all IPTC data such as my ratings, key words, etc. are not appearing in my Shared Photo Streams. Is there any way to include this metadata?

Since you are seeing the Shared Photo Stream Albums in Aperture, but empty, you have all preferences set up correctly.
Aperture or iPhoto should be filling the albums from the folder I mentioned, but they cannot, because this folder is empty.
There may be two reasons for this folder being empty. Either the Photostreamagent is not running or you may be having a permissions problem with your home folder.
Have you tried to toggle the Photo Sharing off and on again in the System Preferences, as described here in this link? iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Stream
You could also try if removing the empty folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared and restarting the Mac will help.
As a test you could try, if the Shared Photo Stream will work in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
If all fails, launch the Console from the Applications folder and check, if there are any error messages relating to "photostreamagent".

Can't see pics in Shared Photo Streams

On my iMac, I see "My Photo Stream," which is populated with pictures and working correctly. I also see grey cloud icons for numerous shared Photo Streams that were either shared by me or by others. However, no photos are loading for any of those shared Photo Streams.
Notably, on my devices (2 iPads and 1 iPhone), I can see all of the photos with no trouble. And when I recently upgraded to iPhone 6, the Photo Streams immediately worked, which suggests to me that the photos do exist in iCloud.
Does anyone have thoughts as to why this is not working on my iMac?

Why can't I or anyone in my shared photo streams watch the uploaded videos??

All that happens is the working animation appears and then freezes!

Shared photo stream not notifying on updates

Each time my shared photo stream updates you are supposed to receive a notification and a badge app on the photos application.
Despite these being turned on I am not receiving the notification or the badge.
Is this a bug?

Subscriber cannot see my shared photo stream! Why?

I have just created a shared photo stream and added a subscriber. They were notified by email, but when they clicked on the link, it told them that "This photo stream is no longer shared". It is still shared and I can access it!

Hey StuDobson!
Here is an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Streams
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
These steps will probably be the most relevant troubleshooting for the issue you are experiencing:
I've sent email invitations to my shared stream, but not everyone received one.
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Ask the person you're inviting to check any junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Try resending the invitation. If a recipient still doesn't get the invitation, send it to a second or alternate email address for that person. The recipient's mailbox may be full, or either the person or the email service provider may have a filter that is preventing the email from being delivered. If you are using iOS 7, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that the recipient uses for iMessages.
If the person has received an invitation at least once in the past, that person may have opted to unsubscribe from future iCloud Photo Sharing emails. See the section on opting out of emails, below, for more details.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

IPhoto Stalls While Uploading Photos To Shared Photo Stream

Hi,
I'm running OSX Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.
I created a new Event in iPhoto and imported my photos.
I selected all images (71 off) and clicked Share -> iCloud.
I created a new shared Photo Stream and invited subscribers.
Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only six photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
To try to fix the issue,
I left it overnight.
I restarted iPhoto.
I restarted iMac.
I either removed the photos from the Photo Stream or deleted the Photo Stream itself—can't remember which.
Depending on which action I took in the previous point, I either selected all the photos in the Event again and shared them to the same Photo Stream or I created another, new Photo Stream and shared all the photos to it.
Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only 15 photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
Any idea how to get the remaining photos to upload to the shared Photo Stream.
Thanks,
Ken.

Hi,
Okay, I did some searching here on the forums and found this post by Old Toad.
I followed his instructions and it fixed my issue.
Old Toad recommended:
Disabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
Disabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
Reboot machine.
Re-enabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
Re-enabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
In addition, I did the following in iPhoto,
Deleted the 15 photos in the shared Photo Stream.
Selected all the photos in the Event and shared them to the existing shared Photo Stream, i.e. I didn't re-create a new Photo Stream at this stage.
All photos uploaded successfully to the stream in approximately 10-15 minutes. Issue solved.
Hope this helps anyone with the same or a similar issue.
Regards,
Ken.

Must shared photo streams take up space on our Macs?

I understand we get these nice Albums that can be synced across all our devices, that live in iCloud, and whose space is somehow magically managed so they don't hog our iPhones and iPads (right?).
But they do get downloaded to iPhoto and Aperture. So if we have a small MacBook Air or even a newest 15" Retina MBP with 256 GB SSD, space is going to matter.
Any thoughts of enlightenment? Ideas how this is best managed?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
When someone shares a photo stream with me and I join it, does it take up memory on my iPhone?
Yes.
Also, if I have a photo stream that I have shared are those photos taking double the amount of space since they are in my camera roll and shared photo stream?
Not double exactly, photo stream photos synced to mobile devices are synced at lower resolution than the original, but yes the photo is stored twice.

Shared Photo Streams in Usage, despite sharing turned off.

I checked the usage on my iPad today (running iOS 8.1) and Shared Photo Streams are using 4.1GB of memory. The problem is that I don't have any shared photo streams -- I don't even have sharing services turned on.
I've tried Googling, but I can't come up with any solution to this.

Shared PhotoStreams are always in the order the photos are added and cannot be rearranged - they are streams.

HT201077 How do I get my shared photo streams from my ipad to my iPhone?

How do I get my photo streams from my ipad to sync to my iphone?

Your iPhone must also be signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad. Then look in Settings/iCloud/Photo Stream and ensure both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on.
