How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream.
So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website. Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads. This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream. Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

Tried that too over the weekend,I unchecked the Photos option in iCloud preferences in System, let iPhoto do it's thing, then restarted the Mac, and turned iCloud Photos back on again... it looked promising the first hour... but then stopped downloading 20 or so albums. I have over 80 shared albums created over the years.
Also, the albums it did download, sometimes they're not even complete nor in any particular order.
I did exactly what you did. It took two days, but slowly all shared streams came back.
If the photo streams do not reappear, try if removing the content of this folder will help: It contains the photos downloaded from the shared streams. Perhaps one photo is corrupted.
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/
Quit iPhoto
Move the folder above from your User Library to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

I recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them. I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

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

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.

Your iPhone must also be signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad. Then look in Settings/iCloud/Photo Stream and ensure both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on.

How do I delete my 'Shared Photo Stream' ?

According the my iPhone 6 'Usage' I have 3.5GB of Photo Library and 1.4KB of 'Shared Photo Stream' - However I have both Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing switched off in settings. Can anybody tell me where this 1.4KB has come from?
I understand it's not too much of a big deal, but it's not switched on so it shouldn't be taking up any space!
Thanks in advance,

How do I create a shared photo stream?

I see discussions regarding shared photo streams - all pertaining to issues with existing shared photo streams. I don't see anything that provides instructions on how to create a shared photo stream. How is this accomplished? And how do I allow someone access to my shared photo stream?

HT201317 How can i Restore a shared photo stream

I Deleted my iCloud account and shared photo stream was deleted, is there a way for restoring my shared photo stream without having to create a new all over again?

You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only delete it from your device. If you log back into your account and enable photo stream, I think you will find that your photo stream photos return.

Is there a way to download an entire shared photo stream to your iOS device from the url?

I recently dropped my iPhone, resulting in a pretty total breaking of it. Luckily, apply care is awesome and I got my phone replaced the next day. My only issue is that I lost the ~3000 photos I had taken on a recent trip to Japan. These photos were saved on a photo stream that was then shared with others that went on the trip, however. My question is: is there a way to download that entire stream back onto my iPhone? Where I am I do not have internet access a lot of the time, and would like access to those photos all the time, as I would be able to if they were saved on my phone.
Thanks

Hello Jmask09,
Indeed, photos can be downloaded to your iPhone. Videos, however, cannot be downloaded to your device.
Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared album?
Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared album can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to your Photos tab or Camera Roll.

How to reorder images in Shared Photo Streams

I share several Photo Streams and when i add an image that is older it appears as the most recent not in the correct date order. Is there a way to correct this behaviour...... I undersand the principles of a Photo Stream but i am trying to use the Shared Streams as an online gallery where i want to control the displayed order.
Many thanks

Seems a little conterproductive.....
A shared stream is meant to be a stream and not an on-line gallery. You are supposed to drop a photo into the stream every now and than to send to your friends and family, and they will send their photos back. Only, since it is the only way supported by Apple to keep an online album of photos in iCloud, we all want to use it differently from how it has been intended.
Send feedback to Apple with a feature request - hopefully the next version of shared streams will allow sorting of the items.
