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?
Hello BrJL,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
The following two articles should help you make sure you have your photo sharing set up correctly.

IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?
Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go. -

You can just import them using your usb cable without buying anything, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. The iPhoto iOS app is for editing your photos, it won't import them to your PC.

HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.
how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.
Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are. Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled. However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them. If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data. -
I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????
I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????
If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage. You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping. -
I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals. Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!
It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). -
If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?
They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream. -
How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad
After accidentally deleting photo stream photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV. How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to my iPad? Suggestions welcomed
If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion. -
Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?Is there a way I can stop
this ?
No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space. -
Looking to get all my photos from my mac's photo stream on to my iphone's photostream.
Add any photo stream photos in iPhoto that are not in photo stream on your phone to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.4/#pht5f6df5f0.

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.

HT201317 how to transfer OLD my photo stream photos from ipad2 to my laptop
I am trying to transfer all of my My Photo Stream photos from my ipad 2 to my windows laptop. A few of them did transfer, but the majority did not. I have seen posts that say this has happened to them, but no direct answer as to why or how to get them ALL to tranfer?? If that for some reason cannot be done, does anyone have any advice as to how to hook up my ipad2 to some type of device and print them off on a printer?? Is that even possible?? My basic problem is I do not want to lose some special photos that are on my photo stream. If I ever update my ipad2 again, it will obviously wipe them all out. Which make absolutely NO SENSE to me. I just want to save my photos somewhere other than icloud, BUT that is where they are stored??? This is exhausting to say the least!!! Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Just to add to my above dilemma...they were initially on my iphone and on my ipad until an update was done on my phone and to my surprise, my backup icloud was not "on" on my phone, BUT it was on my ipad2 so at least they weren't gone FOREVER. I am scared to update ANYTHING on any of my Apple devices for fear of losing what I already have on them. That also makes no sense...but here I am asking anyway.

How can I retrieve old Photo Stream photos from a lost iPhoto Library?
My laptop was stolen and with it an external drive that had my iPhoto library. I had an old backup and when I opened the backup and turned on Photo Stream, I saw all my old photos appear again! After a short while, it was removing old photos from the photostream and replacing them with newer ones. I'm now missing months of Photo Stream photos that I really want back. I tried creating a new library and enabling Photo Stream to try to capture those missing images, but I am not able to see anything older than Oct. I could really use some help if somebody knows a way to get those memories back...
Thanks
-RobI had an old backup
What kind of backup? Do you have a Time Machine Backup of your complete system from the time before the laptop was stolen?
To restore the Photo Stream images from that time you need to restore the folder
your home folder /Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/Assets
This folder contains the PhotoStream pictures that were part of the PhotoStream at that time.
To restore this folder from TimeMachine, open a Finder window showing this folder, make it the active window, and then enter TimeMachine. Go back in time in the TimeTunnel, till you see the correct date. Don't restore to the library but to a folder on the Desktop.

HT201317 How can I delete photo stream photos on specific device while keeping it on others??
I am trying to clean up my iphoto because my computer is a snail due to too many photos & I've transferred my photo stream photos onto a thumb drive but now want to delete them from iphoto BUT I DON'T want them to be deleted from my iphone & ipad?? Is it possible to specify that? What are my options??
THANK YOU!!Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.
