How do my wife and I both share photos from our iphones to one mac via clouds photostream?

Question

My wife and I have seperate apple store id's, and we have one main mac desktop updated with lion and icloud.
when I take photos on my iphone 4 it synchs and shows up via photostream to my mac desktop.
When she takes a photo using her phone, it doesn't show up.  How do I sync her phone to be able to send via photostream to the same desktop?

Answer 1

Decide which ID will be the primary iCloud ID. For example, I chose my iCloud ID to be the primary iCloud ID for both devices and the Mac to receive the Photostream.  (Since iCloud IDs dont cost anything - you could set up a new one just for this purpose - which would have the added advantage that the other iDevices will not be able to access the email for the primary iCloud ID)
On your device (let's call it the primary) turn on iCloud and ahve all the toggles you require set to on.
Delete the existing iCloud ID from your wife's device.
Sign in to iCloud on your wife's device with your (or the newly created iCloud ID)
On your wife's device turn OFF all the mail, calendar, contact toggles (so that your wife doesnt get all your personal content - emails, contacts, calendars etc) in the iCloud panel
Create a new Mail account in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your wife's device with her iCloud ID so that she can receive email, calendars etc.
On the Mac - use your iCloud ID as the primary iCloud ID. This will ensure Photostream content arrives.
If your wife primarily uses this Mac - do the same set up performed on iDevice - ie turn off mail, contact, calendars in iCloud and create a new Mail Account in system preferences with the email address.
Hope that helps
