Changing permissions on shared photo streams. needs work!

why can't I add other people to view photo-streams that I've created? It seems, I have to make a new photostream of the exact same pictures if I decide I want to add others to a shared photo stream. That's just lousy.

See:  iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
Look at the paragraph:
How can I invite more people to a photo stream that I've already shared? How do I uninvite someone or delete a subscriber?
On your device running iOS 6:
From your Home screen, tap Photos.
Tap the Photo Stream tab, then on an iPhone or iPod touch tap the blue arrow next to the name of the shared photo stream. On an iPad, tap the Edit button, then select the shared photo stream.
To add people: Under Subscribers, tap Add People. Enter the email address of the person(s) you wish to invite to your shared photo stream. Tap Add.
To remove people: Under Subscribers, tap the name of the person you'd like to remove, then tap Remove Subscriber.

  • ICloud shared photo stream stopped working with new photo app

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
    Don't the albums show at all?
    Are you signed in  with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before?  And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
    For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
    and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
    Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
    And wait.
    The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

  • Shared photo streams not working in new iPhoto?

    I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iPhoto to be able to work with the shared photo streams I'd created on my iPhone, but they seem to be nonfunctional in iPhoto 11. I'll select photos, create a stream, and add the photos; the pictures will say "added to shared photo stream", but the stream itself will be entirely empty.
    Quite simply, iPhoto says it's creating and adding pix to photo streams, but it isn't. How do I fix this? It's sort of a major omission to have a prominent new feature not actually function at all.

    iCloud photo sharing, which allows subscribers to add photos and videos to a shared stream created by you, will not be supported until OS X Mavericks is released.  OS X Mountain Lion only supports shared photo streams, which does not allow subscribers to add photos.
    Notice that is says "(iPhoto and Aperture users will not see photos and videos added by iCloud Photo Sharing contributors at this time.)" under "What do I need to be able to like photos and videos in a shared stream" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379.  Also note that is says "Coming with OS X Mavericks" under "iCloud Photo Sharing" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759.

  • Shared Photo Stream not working on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5

    I currently have a shared stream with my wife on my iPad and her iPhone. I want to share photo's with her from my MacBook. I have turned on photo stream in iCloud preferences and photo share in iPhoto preferences. I select the photo's to share in iPhoto, click on the share icon, then photo stream. Nothing happens, I don't get any option to add or create a shared photo stream. In the source list my photo stream in the latest category, I see in iCloud help it is in the Web category. Not sure if this is the problem. I just want to share photo's from my Macbook Pro.

    As far as I know, D2 will only work on legacy systems that do not run on intel processors. The game only works on the older PowerPC system, unfortunately.

  • ICloud shared photo stream stopped working for one subscriber

    A shared photostream stopped working for one subscriber. Tried resending the invite several times but after the person clicks on the link, it says "stream no longer shared". Have tried alternate emails and no avail. Anyone else have this issue? I tried resending the invite to myself and to a phone number but also having the same issue. No issues uploading to the photostream or any issues for anyone else.

    Reassigned email address in contacts from "home" to "iCloud" and that did the trick!

  • Shared Photo Streams not Working for me....

    Hi
    I have everything set up.
    I can select and create a Phtostream folder and send invites out to join.
    The invites arrive and when the intivtee clicks to join, they are told the service is not available right now, or that the photostream is no longer available.
    I have not managed to sucsessfully set up a shared photostream either from the iPhoto (OSX) or iOS6 App.
    Is there a way of resetting everything, or is this a known bug and I should wait for a software update?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone have an update on this?
    I am having the same issue.
    I create a shared photostream, i add my mother to it, and hit post.  Then she gets an email that i shared a photostream with her, she clicks the join photostream, and it then tells her that "The photostream is no longer avaialble".  What am i doing wrong?  I have successfully done other photostreams with other people.
    I have an iphone 5 and she has an iphone 4.  Could that be the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    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:

  • Shared photo streams on/off switch not visible

    Just trying to set up Shared Phot Streams on my iPad and my parents.
    Got as far as setting one up on ours, and the email has arrived OK on my parents, with a link to Join this Photo Stream.
    When I click on the link, I get a prompt to Join this Photo Stream, and a message saying that Shared Photo Streams needs to be switched on.
    But in the settings the option to turn on Shared Photo Streams (that I can see on our iPad) is not there, so I can't turn it on.
    As far as I know iCloud is all set up, as I've got Messages and FaceTime all working.
    Any help with what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I had tried switching off and on again without any luck.
    But logging out of iCloud and back in again did the trick. Weird.
    Parents who live in the middle of nowhere suitably impressed.

  • Can IPTC metadata be included in Shared Photo Streams?

    I was surprised that my version name and all IPTC data such as my ratings, key words, etc. are not appearing in my Shared Photo Streams. Is there any way to include this metadata?

    Since you are seeing the Shared Photo Stream Albums in Aperture, but empty, you have all preferences set up correctly.
    Aperture or iPhoto should be filling the albums from the folder I mentioned, but they cannot, because this folder is empty.
    There may be two reasons for this folder being empty. Either the Photostreamagent is not running or you may be  having a permissions problem with your home folder.
    Have you tried to toggle the Photo Sharing off and on again in  the System Preferences, as described here in this link?   iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Stream
    You could also try if removing the empty folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared   and restarting the Mac will help.
    As a test you could try, if the Shared Photo Stream will work in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If all fails, launch the Console from the Applications folder and check, if there are any error messages relating to "photostreamagent".

  • Can't see pics in Shared Photo Streams

    On my iMac, I see "My Photo Stream," which is populated with pictures and working correctly.  I also see grey cloud icons for numerous shared Photo Streams that were either shared by me or by others. However, no photos are loading for any of those shared Photo Streams. 
    Notably, on my devices (2 iPads and 1 iPhone), I can see all of the photos with no trouble.  And when I recently upgraded to iPhone 6, the Photo Streams immediately worked, which suggests to me that the photos do exist in iCloud.
    Does anyone have thoughts as to why this is not working on my iMac?

  • Shared photo streams not transferring photos

    My shared photo stream was working fine, and then suddenly it wouldn't receive any photos from other users, and wouldn't send them my uploaded pictures? How do i get it to work again? I also got an email that someone subscribed but it never showed up on my phone as subscribed, just invited. I feel like it just needs to refresh or something. Any tips would be appreciated!

    I have had the same problem - Shared Photo Streams (evidently) do not update dynamically. There is also no button to force an update in the photo app either.
    On your iDevice by going into Settings > Photos & Camera and switching off "Shared Photo Streams".  Go into your Photo app and check that they have been removed.
    Now go back into the same Settings sub-menu and re-enable "Shared Photo Streams".  Back in the Photo app, you will see the shared stream update with the correct photos.
    I have the exact same problem with any shared photo streams I create on my iPhone - they do not appear on my iPad unless I do the above.  The same goes for iPhoto/Aperture on my Mac.

  • Shared Photo Stream suggestion

    Hopefully doable in the next update:  Shouldn't the shared photo stream capability work with any iDevice.  Rather than requiring an email address, it should also accept phone numbers of iPhone users, just like iMessage and FaceTime.  I have a lot of contacts that just have the phone number and no email address (or not the email address they use for their Apple ID), and it would be nice to be able to share photos on photo stream rather than messaging them individually.

    I created a shared photo stream for my wife and me to share photos we ake on our iPhones
    I think you are under impression that your wife can share photos, or make changes to your photostream. When IOS 7 comes out this fall that would be an option. At that point in order for her to share pictures with you she HAS  to create and share photostream as well. That is what was missing from your description. That is if I am correct.

  • Shared Photo Streams without keeping files in my computer

    Hello,
    I've been taking pictures for about 8 years, and I'm now looking for ways to store them online. I'm talking about over 150GB of pictures, which would be impossible to fit on the internal 128GB SSD. Therefore, is there any way I could create shared photo streams without having to actually store the files on my computer permanently?
    Thank you!

    Shared Photo Streams need to be  tied to one iPhoto Library. You could use an external drive to store your iPhoto Library and connect this drive only, when you want to add to your Photo Streams. You could share the PhotoStreams to yourself, then publish them to a Website, where only you know the URL. You can view the website, even with the drive with the library disconnected.

  • Shared Photo Stream - Some photos will hang Aperture

    Hi,
    I am using Aperture 3.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4. Turned on My PhotoStream and Shared Photo Stream. Works great, except when trying to add certain photos to a Shared Photo Stream (older photos it seems). Doing so causes Aperture to enter this odd semi-hung state, where it is no longer responsive to the mouse in the main Aperture window, but the menus at the top still respond, and you can navigate around your photos with the keyboard (e.g. arrow keys). The thumbnail of the picture I tried to share remains stuck on the screen, even when you scroll away with the arrow keys. Lastly, you can switch out of Aperture (send it to the background), but when you click in your other, now-topmost, application, Aperture jumps back to the top, the other app never "catches" the mouseclick.
    Anyone seen this? I have tried:
    - Repair the Library
    - Turn off My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in Aperture, Quit, delete ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement, restart Aperture, turn My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams back on.
    - Duplicating the photo (version) I am trying to share, and try sharing the duplicate. Same result.
    Pretty frustrated at this point. I have seen this exact semi-hang described at the bottom of this ApertureExpert forum thread, so I know it is not a total one-off thing...
    Any one get out of this?
    Message was edited by: nolamike

    Hmmm... very curious results as I continue to troubleshoot:
    With a problematic photo:
    - Do a New Version from Original,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: hangs as described above.
    - Export the original, import back into Aperture, try to add to Shared Photo Stream: works
    - Do a New Version from Original,  adjust exposure,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: works!
    - Do a New Version from Original,  Delete Preview,  try to add to Shared Photo Stream: hangs as described above.
