Cannot save videos from My "shared photo stream" to my camera roll??

I have created Shared photo stream. Earlier, added videos from my camera roll to my shared photo stream. Since then, I have deleted my camera roll. So now, I'm in my shared photo stream (created by me); select video(s) and "save to camera roll". But will not save there. I get a thumbnail showing JPG letters but no actual video or even photo. Note- I can save photos to camera roll from shared stream just fine. Another note- I wish there was option "send to Dropbox" when I'm viewing videos in my created shared photo stream. I'm having a hard time finding any way it get videos from my own shared photo stream into Dropbox. My PC is really old, still running windows XP and really slow. My iPhone 4 is still on 7.0 because I don't have needed space to update to 7.1. Thank you all for any advise!

Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto? Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library. However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library. Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream? if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.

How can I upload a video from my PC through I tunes to camera roll on my iPhone? Is there an app or format of specific video supported? Sync from photos include video doesn't work for me.

I changed jobs and had to change emails/Apple ID. Before doing so, I did not save my photos from the photo stream to the camera roll. Now, all the old pictures that are still on my iPhone are not streaming to the iPad, only new ones. Please help.

I changed jobs and had to change email/AppleID. Before doing so, I did not copy the pics on the photo stream of my iPad to the album and now the only pics being synce with my iPad are new pics either saved or taken on phone. Old pics are still on phone. There has to be a way to get these pics to be able to stream them on to iPad, right?

You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream. They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

Download video from iphone icloud photo stream to mac?

I have a iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.2 and a 2012 MacBook 13" OSX 2.9 i7 dual core on Mavericks 10.9.5
I'm using iPhoto 9.4.3 on my Mac
The issue: after filming several biking videos on my iphone, I ran out of space.
So I 'shared' in a icloud folder I have called 'Bikes'.
I then deleted the video files on my iphone.
The issue: when I got home and tried to sync my iphone pictures and videos to the Mac,
only the photos were synced to the library and the icloud photostream album.
The videos were nowhere.
The videos seem to be only available to view on the iphone icloud album.
The only way to share the video is to share the entire album and force the sharees to open an icloud account (something I do not want to inflict on friends).
Creating a smart album on iphoto to find all videos doesn't help either as the videos aren't on the hard drive, they're on icloud.
How can I get back control of my video content? I simply want to download MY OWN videos to MY OWN hard drive.
Would an upgrade to Yosemite help me? Would this enable one to access one's own video content in icloud and be able to download it to one's own hard drive?
Anyone else frustrated by iphoto/icloud video limitations?

Thanks for answering Léonie,
But I'm cool with creating private and shared albums, thing is, they are not the same depending on whether you view them from an iPhone and MacBook.
The same iCloud/photo stream album eg. 'Bikes' contains pictures and videos when viewed from an iPhone but when viewed from a MacBook, the videos have mysteriously disappeared.
All I want to do is:
1/ Download the video files from iPhone iCloud to my iPhone (4s on iOS 7.1.2) Camera Roll (not possible)
2/ Download from MacBook iPhoto/Photos stream/album to my MacBook hard drive, but it's not currently possible (osx 10.9.5).
The only place where these particular videos are is in the iPhone version of iCloud/photo stream album. I (increasingly regrettably) deleted the original videos from my iPhone Camera Roll after I had added the videos to the iCloud photo stream album. I know I can easily download photos from my iphone/icloud photostream album but downloading a selected video gives me a greyed out sharing option button.
Reading about Yosemite upgrades on my 2012 MacBook (2.9 i7 dual core, 8Go RAM) I am very, very wary about upgrading my MacBook to Yosemite and Photo just for this issue, especially if I still can't access my video file and have to face hours of data recovery/formatting and full reinstall! Not to mention risking having incompatibility issues with my database/analytics software!

Is there a way to automatically delete photos from a shared photo stream

I have a shared photo stream with almost 4k photos. I would like to set it up so that any photo older than 90 days or greater than 1000 photos is automatically deleted. Any way to do this?

Your shared photo streams always sorted by the date you added them. If you view them, the oldest photos are at the top of the window and the newest an the bottom, with the total number showing in the upper right corner.
if you select one of the photos and open the info panel, you can see, when you posted the photo. You could just select a photo, from the top of the list, and if it is older than 90 days, delete all photos from the beginning of the stream up to the photo you selected.

HT4858 Is anyone else having problems with shared photo stream URLs not updating after photos are added or deleted from a shared photo stream?

I have made quite a few shared photo streams and love the idea of sharing easily with a variety of friends and family. The problem in having is that any modifications made to the shared photostream (adding/deleting pictures) are not updated in the URL I have sent to my family and friends. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

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 on your Mac.
Happy Holidays

When will my photo be added to the Photo Stream vs. Camera Roll?

This is extremely frustrating. It didn't bother me so much before when sometimes I took photos (via camera, within text messaging, through a 3rd party app...etc.) and the photo decided to go into my Photo Stream as well as my Camera Roll. I never new when it would do it and when it wouldn't. But it was no big deal until today.
I found a bunch of pictures of rings my wife wants from old text messages. I did an iPhone screen grab of those pictures and messages so I can find the ring. I then learned that those screen graps are now on our shared photo stream! And we already know we cannot delete individual images from the stream. So now my wife can simply look into the stream and there will be no surprise for her on V-Day. Ugh!
How can we decifer when a picture will go into the stream or not?
Thanks!

New Photos are added to photostream, new photos include screenshots and any photos you import from anywhere into your camera roll.

HT201317 do i need photos in photo stream and the camera roll?

I want to know what is the difference between camera roll and photo stream. Do I need both? Are they taking up memory space on my phone? Thank you for any help. I have an Iphone 5, 16 GB

The camera roll contains the original photos that were added to photo stream. They may be slightly higher resolution than the photo stream photos as photo stream photos are "device optimized". Once camera roll photos are in your photo stream, if you want to save space you can import them to your computer and delete them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
It's important to import your camera roll photos to your computer for safekeeping and not rely on photo stream to back them up. The reason for this is because photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days, even though a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted. If, however, you ever turn off photo stream, restore your phone or replace your phone for any reason, when you reconnect to photo stream you will only get back photos from the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer there).

How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream.
So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website. Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads. This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream. Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902

Can shared photo stream activity be deleted?

I accidentally shared photos in the wrong photo stream and quickly removed them right after. My question is after having removed them, will the people in that photo stream still be able to see those pictures in their photo stream activity feed?

The quote I supplied has a link to the detailed Support page for Shared Photo Streams, which provides information about deleting photos you have posted to a Shared Photo Stream that you do not own:
Delete photos or videos from a shared stream
When you delete a photo or video from a shared photo stream, it’s removed from the shared stream on all your devices and all subscribers’ devices. The owner of a shared stream can delete photos and videos that anyone adds. Subscribers to a shared stream can delete the photos and videos they add.
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream you want to delete photos or videos from.You can’t delete from the Activity stream.
Tap Select, tap one or more photos, then tap .
Tap Delete x Photos or Delete Photo.
On an iOS 6 device
In the Photos app, tap Photo Stream.
Tap the shared stream you want to delete photos from.
Tap Select, tap Edit, tap one or more photos, then tap Delete.
Tap Delete Selected Photos or Delete Photo.
On a Mac using iPhoto or Aperture
For instructions, see one of these iPhoto Help or Aperture Help topics:Add, remove, and edit items in a shared photo stream with iPhotoAdd, remove, and edit items in a shared photo stream with Aperture
On Apple TV
Go to iCloud Photos.
Select an album, press the center button on your remote, then select a photo or video you want to delete.
Hold down the center button on your remote until a dialog appears, then select Delete Photo.If you simply press the center button instead of holding it down, a full-screen image appears instead of the dialog where you can remove the image.
On a Windows computer
Select iCloud Photos under Favorites in a folder window of File Explorer (Windows 8) or Windows Explorer
There is a lot of information in the links. Take some time to have a look at them.
Cheers,
