How do I share photos from iphoto on my iMac, through Photo Stream?

I am trying to fogure out how to share photos I've loaded into Photo Stream, to select users using their email address.  I can figure it out on my iPhone and iPad, but how can I perform this same task on my iMac?
Please help!

You must have iPhoto version 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 on your Mac to have access to Shared Photo Streams.

  • How do I share photo streams between iCloud accounts?

    We have two iPhones and iPads with separate icloud accounts.
    We want to share one Photo Stream but not the other.
    We share a Mac but don't activate Photo Stream on iPhoto.
    How do we share the (one) Photo Stream via the iPhone/iPad?
    Thank you.

    That's what Photostream is used for. 
    Thanks for the responses.
    What do you mean by this comment?
    It's the current photos that I'm after - I thought thats what Photo Stream did.
    Therefore I presume that means that only Albums or inidvidual photos can be shared?
    Many thanks

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

    How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

    Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
    To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to move the photos or events
    To move the entire iPhoto library
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    How do I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2 and trying to view my shared photo streams on my macbook air. The instructions on the apple website tell me I need to select the checkbox on the Share Photo Stream in iPhoto preferences. This is an image of my preference pane and I can't see the relevant checkbox. Any help appreciated...

  • HT4007 how can i share photos between users on the same mac?

    Dear All,
    My wife and I use the same MacbookPro, but our own different login Accounts on the Mac, how can we share photos bewtwen these 2 accounts.
    Say, I've downloaded some pics from my camera and would like to transfer to her login account.
    Can I do it on the desktop level or can I use iPhoto to do this? I'd like to know how to do bothways, without having to duplicate the files(ie saving 2 copies of the same file on the computer)
    Isn' there a 'New' feature on iPhoto / Aperture saying that it uses the same 'Unified' library or something ?
    Can this feature help? but how to activate?
    Pls help.
    Thanks

    Macs have a folder called "Public" for this purpose.  See this from Finder's help:
    Share files with others using a drop box
    To give a copy of a file to another user, you can copy the file to the person’s Drop Box.
    HidePut a file in the Drop Box of another user on your Mac
    Open the user’s Public folder (in their home folder in the Users folder on your hard disk).
    Hold down the Option key and drag the file to the Drop Box in the user’s Public folder.
    Click the desktop to make sure you’re in the Finder, and then choose Go > Computer.
    Double-click the icon for your computer’s internal disk (usually named Macintosh HD) to open its folder.
    Open the Users folder, and then open the folder for the person to whom you’re giving a file.
    Open the user’s Public folder, and then drag the file to the Drop Box. To keep a copy of the file for your own use, hold down the Option key while you drag.
    Even though you can put items in another user’s Drop Box, you can’t open any Drop Box except your own.

  • How do I share photos automatically?

    How do I share photos automatically? I have an iMac with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I have an iPhone and an iPad with iOS 8.3. I want to share photos in both directions between iPhoto on the iMac and the Photos app on my iOS devices. I just took a photo of myself, using Photo Booth on the iMac, and I wanted to see it on my iPhone. I found a way to do that manually by means of iCloud (see Get help with your iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support.) But is there a way to automatically have photos from any of my devices appear on all my other devices? Thanks in advance.

    OK, Larry ...
    I finally got around to working on this again. Sorry for the delay. I did the things listed in the link you provided. Something is still wrong. I have 299 photos in iPhoto's My Photo Stream on my iMac, but in iCloud and on my iOS devices, only 228 show up. Several I added to iPhoto from My Photo Stream on Saturday are missing in iCloud/iOS, while two from that same batch do show up. If I select one of the missing ones in iPhoto's My Photo Stream and try to "Share" it expressly with iCloud, iCloud asks, "Shot this photo in your library?/To edit or share this photo, you must use the version that has already been imported into your library." If I click on "Show in Library" in the dialog, I am taken to the same photo in Library:Photos. If I then use the "Share:iCloud" icon while that photo is selected, I see a box that has three items: "New photo stream," "My Photo Stream," and (another photo stream I have) "WWI Shared by You." If I then click on "My Photo Stream," a dialog appears saying, "All the selected photos are already in My Photo Stream."
    So it looks like the photos that are not actually present in iCloud/iOS are ones that give me this weird circular behavior in iPhoto. Do you have any suggestions or explanations? Thanks.

  • How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same macbook

    How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same Macbook? i.e. I want all to be able to access family photos when logged into their respective accounts. Same goes for the iTunes library. Hope this is possible...
    Thanks!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.
