How long do shared photo stream albums stay in iCloud?

How long do shared photo stream albums stay in iCloud?

I actually found the FAQ for Shared Photo Streams and the answer is:
Do shared streams ever expire?
No. Shared streams are removed from iCloud only if you delete the photo stream.

  • How to import shared photo stream photos to iPhoto

    iphoto 9.6
    OSX 10.10
    I am having a difficult time figuring out how to download photos from a shared photo stream.
    I already have half the photos (as I shared them)..... but I would like to import my wife's photos.
    Is there and easy way to do this?

  • How do I enable shared photo stream to subscribers without iCloud

    I started a shared Photo Stream today using iOS 6 and invited my family members to subscribe to it.
    They do not have iCloud accounts and were prompted to enter their iCloud accounts in order to access the Photo Stream.
    It says that subscribers can access the stream online without an iCloud account but I cannot find a way to enable this.  I would prefer not having my family members sign up to iCloud or download the iCloud control panel for their PCs.  Is there an easy fix so that I can update the stream and they will receive a email with a link to the stream online for viewing?
    Thanks

    You are not alone. I've got the "iCloud can't find the page" problem as well.
    Short summary: It seems that iPhoto/iCloud uses the same URL when you delete a Stream and then create a new one. The new one can then not be found.
    Long story:
    Also set up a shared stream yesterday for testing, got the invitation email, clicked the link, browsed the page successfully. All fine - not as nice or useful as MobileMe galery, but at last something that is again usable to share to my parents AppleTV.
    - got rid of the first shared photo stream, confirmed the message the stream+files will be deleted
    - checked on icloud.com (original share email), yep it's gone
    - selected some images, clicked share, to PhotoStream, new
    - readded emails of people to invite, renamed stream to Friends+Familly
    - clicked on View website -> error message! ARRRGH!
    - disabled and re-enable public website, click on View website -> error.
    - called Apple Support: "Yes, some users are seeing problems, please try again later".
    The link looks terribly familiar. Checked my Safari History. And yes it seems that iPhoto re-used the same link as for the original Photo Stream I deleted.
    So:
    - made a new Stream, check website -> works.
    - remember URL
    - delete Stream
    - create a new one, check website -> broken.
    Apple: We love you, but your quality control, arrgh! Especially when it comes to iCloud.

  • HT201077 When trying to select a new shared photo stream album, my iPhoto directs me to the Trash album.  Not sure what to do.

    My iPhoto is redirecting me to the Trash album instead of opening a friend's shared iCloud (Photo Stream) album.  Not sure what to do.

    Delete and recreate your email settings.

  • Can I have 2 My Photo Stream Album on my iCloud Account?

    Hi!
    We have 3 Apple TV's set-up in our space in different locations and using 1 icloud account, just want to know if it's possible to have 3 different My Photo Stream Album so we have 3 different sets of photos on each apple tv. If YES, how? If no, is there any way to do that?
    Thanks

    No you can't. But what you can do is when you want to see your sons account just sign out of yours and sign in to his. Then when you want to use yours just sign in with yours. It will only take a minuet or so to do this. And you can save usage capacity by only having one

  • How to save Shared photo stream as an album?

    I would like to be able to save the photos i shared to my photo stream as album. I already managed my photos on my iphone and sent to my photo stream as an album but I also would like to have them as albums as well on my iPhoto without reorganizing again. Is it possible? Thanks.

    Yes. First they would have to be saved to an Event in the iPhoto Library. Then you can create an album for them.
    Do you have iPhoto setup to automatically import Photo Stream photos into the library?
    If you do they will already be in your library.

  • 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 permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream on a windows pc

    I've got the Icloud control panel installed on a windows7 pc. On this specific pc I only want My Photostream running. I've tried to disable the Shared Photo Stream - but when I log off my windows user account an then log in again, the checkmark next to the Shared photo Stream is back, and iCloud starts again downloading the shared stream. How can I stop this behavior? I want to permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream.

    Try this method of duplication:
    <font "size=+1">Duplicate a CD or DVD
    1. Insert the DVD/CD;
    2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
    3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
    4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
    5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
    6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

  • Moving Shared Photo Stream photos to existing Photo Albums

    On my iPad mini, I have a Shared Photo Stream that was shared to me by a friend. Several photos have been streamed to me from my friend. I want to take them out of the Shared Photo Stream and put them into several Photo Albums that I have created for them, in order to organize them. When I am in the Shared Photo Stream sheet view, click "Edit", and then select the Shared Photo Stream photos that I want to move, the only choices I have when clicking "Share" are: Mail, Message, Photo Stream, Facebook, Print, Copy, and Save to Camera Roll. Why can't I choose an exisiting Photo Album to save them to? Why must I first Save to Camera Roll, and then go into the Photo Albums and add photos from the Camera Roll? Is this REALLY the only way to do it???

    Yes, you have to save them to your camera roll first.  It may be because while the photos are in the shared photo stream album, the owner of shared photo stream can add or delete photos at any time, as well as deleting the entire shared photo stream and at the present time, the iOS is not able to make the necessary changes to your albums in the event of such changes.

  • Shared Photo Stream Query

    Hi,
    I'm loving the new shared photo-stream in iOS 6.
    Quick query though:
    As an example - Let's say I've created a shared photo stream called 'family' which I've created from 5 photos I want to share with family members.  I created the original shared album 2 days ago.  I have now taken another photo which I want to add to the existing shared album but, having clicked share on the photo it only gives me the option to create a new shared album or add the photo to empty shared photo stream albums I've created.  The shared album I want to add to doesn't show.
    Am I missing something or can you not add further images.  I've seen videos which seem to suggest you can add and subtract from shared photo stream albums but I can't see how.
    Help please!

    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.

  • Trouble with sharing photo streams.

    Hello,
    A while ago my friend and I have created this shared photo stream album so we can stay in touch while I travel. Everything was working just fine but suddenly I noticed that the pictures I was sending weren't going through for some reason. So I tried sharing another one again.. But she is not receiving any of my emails and when she does, after pressing "Join this shared photo stream" it says that my photo stream isn't shared anymore. So now I can't share or anyone can share photo streams with me! I don't know why this is happening. I did some research and I couldn't find a topic for this problem. PLEASE HELP ME !!!! I AM DESPERATE!
                   Thanks in advanced.

  • Why can't I share a photo stream album with all of my contacts?

    I have been able to share one photo stream album with my sister who has an iPhone. When I try to share another album with both a friend who has an iPhone and another sister who does not have an iPhone, their names are greyed out in my contact list. Looking over my contact list for sharing photo stream albums, half of my contacts are normal, and the other half are greyed out. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this nd share with everyone in my contact list?

    For users who have iOS devices, they get a direct connection to the shared stream.  For others, they need to get an email with a link that they use in a browser.  Not too clear on the details myself, but the following link should provide the answers you need.

  • Shared photo streams in iPhoto and Apple TV

    Why is this proving so difficult for Apple to get right?
    All I want to do is create private albums that I can share with family and have them sync back to my Mac so that all I need to do is organise my photos ONCE (i.e. on iPhone or iPad) and see these albums in iPhoto where they are also backed up locally.
    I've created a shared photo stream album, shared it with my wife... she can see it on her phone... great.
    I look in my iPhoto and there is no sign whatsoever that I've ever created a shared album. Just the main photo stream mess as usual.
    Also, I go to my Apple TV and the same thing, just the same "every photo ever" mess.
    I've recently taken to using Vimeo because this provides exactly what I need for home video. Create edited video in iMovie for iPad or Mac, then upload it to Vimeo, and share it only with family. I can then view them back on Mac, Apple TV, iPad etc.
