HT204022 How can I turn off photo stream without deleting photos permanently?

I am wondering how I can turn off photo stream on my iPad and iPhone without permanently deleting the photos on my MacBook pro. When I try to turn off photo stream, it says it will delete my photos.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Import them into an event(s) before you delete them from photo stream

HT4906 can't turn on Photo Stream on my Mac

i'm trying to turn on Photo Stream on my Mac, but the box to check off Photo Stream is grayed out so I can't check the box. My software is updated, and I'm using OS Mountain Lion. What should I do to turn on the Photo Steam?

what version of iPhoto? Are you logged into iCloud in the system preferences? See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for software requirements, FAQ and trouble shooting hints

Can't turn on Photo Stream in iCloud for PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

.....whenever I sign out I get a messgae saying that I will be turning PhotoStream off....
Why do you keep signing out, of course this will turn photostream off, it will turn everything off.

HT4906 I can't turn on photo stream

I'm trying to set up photo streamming but the checkbox isn't available.

Greetings,
Questions:
What version of iPhoto are you running? (iPhoto > About iPhoto). You want iPhoto 9.2.3.
If you have iPhoto 9.2.3 Try:
Quit all open Applications
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out
Click anywhere on your desktop (the background) and then go to the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen, hold down the "option / alt" key on your keyboard and choose "Library".
Go to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement and remove this folder to the trash
Go to Apple > Restart
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign In
Enable Photo Stream
Hope that helps.

TS3989 I can't turn on Photo Stream in my System Preferences

So I had to get a new password for my AppleId account and now I can't seem to keep PhotoStream turned on in my SystemPreferences. Whenever I log into iCloud and go through the set up steps and the PhotoStream box is checked, whenever I sign out I get a messgae saying that I will be turning PhotoStream off. My photos are not being synced between my devices and Mac any help would be appreciated.

Try signing out of iCloud in System Preferences and then signing back in.

TS3989 how can I share a photo stream from my mac? there's no check box in system preferences to turn it on

I've been having trouble to share my photo stream with other from my mac. Once I selecte the photos and click share>photo stream, nothing else happens. The option for "new photo stream" does not appear, neither the field where you type in the email addresses from people you whant to share it with. I all ready checked in iphoto'11> system Pref.> photo stream and there's no "shared photo strem" check box to turn on or off... I also checked in my mac system pref to be sure that my icloud is enabled and it is.
If I select photos and then go to my tool bar and press share. the option of photo stream is not available.
I also can't accept any shared photo stream from other and view it in my iphoto. I can only access it via web.
I DO can use my photo stream correctly and share it via my iphone. and every picture that I take uploads into my mac and every photo I import from cameras into my iphoto also uploads fine into my Ph stream. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T SHARE THEM FROM MY MAC.....
Please can someone help me?

You turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane:
Check the box "Automatic Upload" to add every photo imported into the library to the Photo Stream. Or leave it unchecked and manually add just selected photos to the stream by dragging them onto the Photo Stream heading in the left hand pane.

Turning off photo stream on a lab of iPads sharing an iCloud account

I've turned off photo stream in iCloud on a lab of 30 iPads using the same iCloud account. In the iCloud settings though, it shows that Photos is on even though when I tap Photos it shows Photo Stream is off. What can I do to really turn it off? Is it possible there is another device outside of the lab using this iCloud account that has photo stream turned on?

You can't save photos in iCloud that are not also on your device. If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud and they will be lost. Normally, you would save them to your camera roll (unless they are already there), then import them to a computer as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support. If you don't have access to a computer, you'll need to upload them to a different cloud service prior to deleting them, such as Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/84).
Another option is to save any photos in your photo stream that are not already in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off photo stream. This will remove the photo stream photos from your device (and free up the space they are using) but you'll still have them in your camera roll.

HT201077 I have turned off photo stream on my iphone but the icloud photos dont disappear

I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

I can't get the photo stream to show all my photos

I appreciate if someone can help me to get all my pictures on my iPad from my photo stream

Only the photos that you took on the phone or the iPod after you turned on Photo Stream on the iPad will appear in the Photos Stream. That's what I'm saying.
It doesn't matter that you bought the phone and iPod at different times. You have obviously been using Photo Stream on both devices long enough to have the same number of Photos on each device. Since you just turned Photo Stream on in the iPad settings, you can only see the photos that you took with the phone or iPod since you turned it on.
