Cannot access shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3 on mac

I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3.  The directions in help tell me to go to iPhoto preferences > photo stream, and check the box next to "select the shared photo stream checkbox".  There is no such option in my version.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3
Is this a shared photo album from iPhoto on a mobile device or a Shared Photo Stream?
If a shared Photo Stream you should have this preference pane in iPhoto 9.4.3:
Check the boxes as shown in this screenshot and then go to the Photo Stream section in iPhoto and see if they appear.

  • Cannot access shared Photo Stream on OS X 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4

    I have updated my OS to 10.8.2 and iPhoto to 9.4. I am logged in to iCloud and have Photo Streams enabled. However, when I click on the email invitation to a friend's Photo Stream, it redirects me to the Get Started page. What am I doing wrong? I am in Mexico and he is in NJ, is that is issue?

    Me too. My wife can see my PS on her phone and iPad, but we can't get it to work on the Mac, which has PS enabled and has all the latest updates. Bit rubbish, this.

    When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually.  This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync.  I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless.  I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary.  I want everything easy to organize and access.  It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution.  Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution.  I have not found answers yet.

  • When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

    Hello JimS19,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

  • I have photoshop cc and a mac book pro. I cannot access my photos from photoshop. I can go to iPhoto and click edit to edit them in photoshop, but photoshop won't open them. I want to do a collage, so I need to get to more than one photo.

    See if exporting them helps:

  • I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open.  Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US.  What do I do?  Cannot access any photos.

  • Cannot access my photos on computer.  Time machine no longer shows IPhoto in Backups from 2 weeks ago

    Cannot access my photos in IPhoto it will not open.  Time machine has not backed up IPhoto for the last two weeks.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

    Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

    Did it.
    iPhoto opens nicely but without the photos:-(
    However I can reach the them by: WD > iPhoto Library and then right click Show Package Content > Originals
    All the photos are there and reachable manually.
    I am guessing that there should be a software patch/update by either Apple or WD to bridge the photo portfolio at the external disk and the iPhoto.
    Thanks your efforts.

  • I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP!

    I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Shared photo album on my iPad no longer Working

    please can you help me with a new issue I'm having?  I've been using shared photo albums for months but suddenly the shared album I've been using for the month of March is not working properly on my iPad.
    I've posted a new photo to the 'March' album but I can only see it on my iPad, not on my iPhone. And none of my invitees can see it either. The album is still there with all the other photos in it, just not the new photo.
    IVe ve checked my wifi connection and all is good. Ive disconnected it and reconnected it. I've rebooted the iPad. I've turned off photosharing and turned it back on again. I've closed all the open apps on the iPad.
    IVe setup a new album and invited people to it and they've accepted. But they can't see the test photo I posted to the new album either. I can see it there though.
    What hat else should I do?
    thanks for any help you can give me.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

  • I have made a photo album in iphoto and want it sent to France, how do I do that????

    I have just assembled a photo album on iphoto and when it come to the buying stage I am unable to get it sent to France.  i have done this once before with no problem.  Has Apple stopped sending photos abroad????  Whatever happened to sending to friends and family???

    thanks

    Hi, I have this problem too, it is SO frustrating and makes me never want to use iPhoto again! I live abroad and want to send a photo album to Canada but my credit card billing address is in the US and apparently shipping and billing addresses must match. I have already spent DAYS and DAYS making the album. There must be another company that allows shipping to Canada with a US credit card. Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Contact Whatsapp for support.
    There is no logical expectation for Whatsapp to be listed under location services or for that to have any affect on what the app can access.
