Can't share photos using photo stream in iCloud. File is always blank.

Can't share photos using photo stream in iCloud. File is always blank.

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:

  • New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream

    New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream. Turned on sharing on both devices and also setup bluetooth both devices and they are connected. have photos on my mini put does not send to my Mac using photo stream
    Gary

    Photo stream doesn't use bluetooth; only wifi.  Photos added to the camera roll on your device are automatically added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, your device is connected to wifi, and it has at least 20 % battery life remaining.  Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not photos prior to enabling photo stream.  If the photos appear in your my photo stream album on your iPad Mini, then they were successfully added to your photo stream.
    To share them with your Mac, your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.4) or higher, and you must have either iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 9.2 or higher.  If you do, you must sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream in order for the photos to automatically be added to iPhoto (or Aperture).  This is explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

    can I share music and photos but not contacts and messages between devices.  Each of my children have devices and they want to share some stuff but not others

  • Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
    For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

    The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

    Did you buy your machine second-hand? That's really the only way you would have to purchase OS X 10.8.x from the App Store... but, yes, if you have a USB thumb drive with a bootable installer (such as made with Lion DiskMaker) you can boot from that and reinstall OS X.

  • 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.

  • Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

    How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • How can I take a 600 x 600 pixel photo using photo booth

    How can I take a 600 x 600 pixel photo of myself using photo booth.  I need it for a passport application

    If you live in the US, you will need to have your passport picture taken from the place you obtained your application, local county store (office), Federal buildling, and/or the post office.  There are even places in the "mall" that are authorized to take passport pictures.
    Photobooth photos won't do.

  • Add gps information to photo using Photos

    With the latest Photos App, I didn't find a way to manually add GPS information to a Photo.  I am talking about Photos APP on OS X Yosemite.  Not iPhoto.

    Sorry, but the Photos.app does not (yet) support this feature.
    Use iPhoto, or any other app that you have. I make sure, that all photos have GPS tags before I import them to Photos.
    Send feedback to Apple with a feature request.   Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    For the time being, use iPhoto for the geotagging and import the tagged photos to Photos.
    If you are comfortable with the Terminal use the free exiftool:
    See:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es

    Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..

  • HT3819 Can I share books using home share

  • Can you share iTunes using airdrop?

    I have purchased a Macbook Pro retina display and trying to find the quickest and effective way to move my Music (iTunes) library from my iMac to Macbook Pro. I was attempting to use Airdrop (copy the iTune file and drop it over), but not sure it reacted, since the iTune folder on Macbook Pro says that I don't have permission to open it. Does that mean the file was too big, or was it in the process of copying, or something else? Thanks for any insights to move music library across apple computers!

    Hello djumin
    There are a few ways to handle transferring your iTunes library. Check out the article below to know the steps to do them. I would recommend using either an external hard drive or use Migration Assistant and you can transfer your user from your iMac to your MacBook Pro.

  • Can I share the music I have on iCloud with wife?  is there a family plan?

    Using iPods and laptops we could all be the same iTunes identity and just one of the five devices.  now with iCloud, iPads and iPhones do we all need to have our own music collection or can we share?

    You can all use the same ID for iTunes, but separate ones for iCloud; the former would be for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and the latter for iCloud email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks syncing, Photostream, and so on.

  • With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

    1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
    2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
    Thanks a lot for any help!
    Xueyu

    Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.
