Can't find photo stream on iPhoto

When I first had my iphone in September 2012, my photos were downloaded directly to my macbook through icloud.  Now, I can't seem to see the photos I took on my phone on my computer.  Does anyone know why it would stop working?  Do I need to update iphoto?

Here's what you need to use iCloud and Photo Stream:
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
The above is from this Apple document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
If your MacBook meets these requirements then try the following:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Can't Find Photo Streams in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite)

    Just upgraded to Yosemite.
    When I click the iCloud item under "Shared", I see all of my last 1000 photos in "My Photo Stream".  What's missing are the 30 or so photo streams I've either joined or created over the past year.
    I see them on my photo / iPad, so I know they are there.  Is there a bug / issue where iPhoto can't see these right now? Or is there some magic setting somewhere that I'm missing?

    Go to iPhoto's iCloud preference pane and uncheck the My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing checkboxes.  Close iPhoto, relaunch, go back to that preference pane and recheck those two boxes:

  • Can't activate photo stream in iPhoto

    Hi
    It seems that I can't activate photo stream in iPhoto. When I try to click "Activate photo stream" in iPhoto > Settings > Photo Stream it uncheck itself right away. Realy frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?

    Jepp, same problem here.
    Photo Stream enables/activates  on both my iPhone and Macbook Air, but not on my iMac desktop. Enabling it in System and iPhoto Preferences is not possible ...
    Very annoying.
    Will check some other help forums too to see if a solution is available ...
    Keep us posted anyone else who discovers a solution to the problem ...

  • HT201317 Cant find photo stream in iPhoto

    Ipad, Iphone have photo stream but cant seem to find it on my Mac in iphoto.  There is nothing on the left handside menu for photo stream.  Is there anything I need to do to have it appear or am I looking in the wrong place for it.  Just returned from vacation where I loaded all photos off my camera to my iPad thinking I can photo stream them to my Mac later so stumped as to where to go from here.
    Appreciate any advice.

    To use photostream on your Mac, you need OS X 10.7.2 or better and the latest version of iPhoto. Do you meet these requirements.

  • HT201317 help - can't find photo stream in my icloud account..

    I am new to all this... I could see mail, contact, calendar, iwork at my icloud account on the web but where do I find the photo stream to view my photos online?

    I'm not new to iCloud myself, but I too would like the opportunity to manage my photos online, and also perform rudimentary editing such as rotation, cropping and other activities, as I cannot perform these with the Windows Photo Gallery once the photos are downloaded to my computer (I get the error message: "This photo can't be saved because of a problem with the file's properties." And, I often get photos with incorrect rotation because of how I or others hold my chosen iDevice and would sure like to edit these before they're locked on my computer. I share them to Facebook often, and admittedly can definitely use THEIR rotation tool, but I would like the flexibility of doing it to the photos in Photo Stream, too.

  • Can't find Photo Stream on computer!!

    I have the Verizon iPhone 4 and sync it to a HP desktop that runs Windows Vista.  I wanted to view my pics for the first time on Photo Stream on my computer.  I was unable to find them.  I read through the help sections and learned I needed to do the following:
    Start Menu - DONE
    Control Panel - DONE
    Network - DONE
    iCloud icon - UNABLE to click on it because it is NOT THERE.
    HELP!!!  How do I access my pics?  How do I view all 600+ pics I have stored?

    Do you have photo stream turned on, on your iPhone?  (Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream)
    The next step after that would be to install iCloud control panel:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    Once you run that and sign in, you will see a photo stream option.

  • After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

    I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

    Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
    Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • HT5903 can't access photo stream on iCloud or iPhoto

    when i log into iCloud i don't seem to have a "photo" button to access photos - only calendar, mail etc - i can't therefore access photostream and the photos from wife's ipad - also i thought i should be able to just access the shared photos ex my photostream in iphoto

    You aren't supposed to be able to access photos at iCloud.com.
    To enable photo stream in iPhoto enable system preferences > photos and follow on screen instructions.
