How long do photos last in shared photo streams?

I was wondering how long photos will stay in shared photo streams.  Do these fall under the same rules are regular photo streams or will they stay there until I delete them?
I'd love to use this as a photo storage site versus Facebook!

I finally found an article on the Apple site that says "You can share as many photos as you like with Shared Photo Streams.  They don't count against your iCloud storage and aren't removed from iCloud until you delete them."

    You probably just need to re-enable Photo Stream. It's not clear what the difference is, but there is an option to enable Photo Stream (as well as Shared Photo Stream) in both the iCloud Settings and the Photos & Camera Settings.

  • How to open Photo Stream in Windows

    I took a bunch of pictures and video on my iPhone 3Gs (5.0) and don't know how to open Photo Stream on my PC (Win 7). I can see a folder in my pictures library, but I can open the ithmb files. Thank You.

    That would be a question for the iCloud forum - iPhoto does not run on a PC

  • How long does it last

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro that i bought when it came out and it is still in perfect condition. It has 8 cores, 8gb ram, 8800gt video card 3tb hd. at the end of this year it will be three years old. I use it for final cut pro and other things. about how long will it last
    -it is in perfect condition
    -has a very stable power supply
    -never had one problem yet
    -still edits blue ray video stable
    should i upgrade this year or next
    thanks

    I am still answering queries about Macs discontinued before the turn of the century. The Hardware will last a good long time. You may have to replace a memory module ( FBDIMMs run Hot) or a Hard drive along the way.
    The software you are running today will do the jobs you do today, using your current workflow, for decades.
    Whether your needs will expand beyond the capabilities of that particular computer remains to be seen. And whether new "must have" killer Apps will come along and make your Mac seem slow, or lacking in some other way, no one knows for sure.
    \[But that is what happened to most pre-1999 Macs. You can't give them away. Folks don't want them because they can't run the latest Web Browsers or play YouTube Videos].

  • How quickly does photo stream sync for you?

    how quickly does photo stream sync for you?

    I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.

    How long will power last on the iphone 5s with 4g and 3g and 2g?

    I don't think anybody would know the answer to your question.
    Nobody here knows how you use your phone.
    to answer your question test it out yourself.

  • HT201317 How come my photo stream no longer updates photos automotically?

    My phone no longer updates photos which I take automotically and the settings have not changed. I've also deleted many photos in my photostream so there's definitely enough room. My phone and laptop are also connected to wifi and icloud is on.. Can't figure out why this isn't working..

    You might have to go to Settings>iCloud and turn photo stream off, then back on to get it working again.  To avoid losing any photos in the process, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  When you turn photo stream back on, you will only get photos added in the last 30 days.  Older photos are removed from your photo stream (even though they will remain on your device until deleted or you turn photo stream off).
    Also, photos are only added to photo stream when you are connected to wifi, the camera app is closed and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.

  • Photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream.  all of my software is updated.  can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

    Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software.  iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5  All of my preferences are checked.  I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac.  The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone)  - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title.  Is this supposed to happen on the Mac?  Thanks!

    So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
    Yes
    Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
    Yes
    Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5.  For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:  iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
    iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

  • How to Manage Photo Stream & Apple TV

    Hi! I have apple TV, and I love that I can use pics from Photo stream as a screen saver. I just can't figure out how to make Apple TV draw the pics from the photo stream folder on my computer instead of the photo stream folder on my iphone. Any help is appreciated!

    Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?
    IOS 7 supports writing of persons with different AppleIDs to the same  shared photo stream.
    And I expect that iPhoto and Aperture will soon support this too.
    From the IOS ipad user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.

    If you're friend isn't an iCloud user you'll have to turn Public Website to On when you create the shared photo stream.

  • How to manage photo stream from 2 iCloud accounts in Aperture 3

    For the time being, my wife and I used to share the same iCloud account,
    This was very convenient to share the family's calendar, contacts, and photos!
    But from iOS 7, the sharing of Apple ID for the family looks compromised, iMessage and FaceTime are using common IDs on all devices connected with the same account...
    I'm now considering creating an account for each of us and could find a solution for calendar, contacts, BUT not for photos!
