How to use photo stream on my mac?

I keep trying to sign in to icloud on my mac to use photo streaming.  It is turned on on my new iphone5 but everytime I enter my apple ID it says "YOu can't log in at this time, try again later"  I've tried changing my password, that didn't work.  It has been two days and it still giving me this message.  What else can I do to get photo streaming to work?  I know my Apple ID and password are right, I just used it to log in here.

The login for this site is independent of the iCloud login, go to www.icloud.com and try to login there.

  • How do i get my photos from photo stream to my mac?

    Hey guys, i recently restored my iPod touch because I forgot my password. I lost all of my valuable photos, but before I forgot my password, iCloud was turned 'ON' with Photo Stream activated.
    So i expect my photos to be on the cloud.
    Can anyone tell me how to get these photos to my mac?!

    Your Mac must meet these requirements:
    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
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

    Next you must setup iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences as shown here:
    This will automatically import any photo taken by any of your mobile devices, i.e. iPhone, iPad.

  • HT201317 How can i get all the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac onto my new iPhone?

    How do I get the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac in iphoto onto my iphone 5?

    By syncing them from your iphoto using that article
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes - Apple - Support
    Or if last 30 days of pictures is enough for you, you just need to sign in to your icloud on the phone and turn photostream "ON".

  • How can I upload photos to photo stream from my Mac

    Hi, I need to know how to upload photos to photo stream from my Mac, can you help me, thanks.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • I cloud downloaded all except photo stream to my mac book OS x 10.6.8 how do i get the photo stream?

    I have a 2008 macbook 10.6.8 software, I recently downloaded icloud but the photo stream isn't showing up although i have all the other elements of Icloud i.e. calender, mail, notes etc....everything except photos strream. What is the problem?  I've been told that I can't download mountain lion as the computer is too old to handle the upgrade.

    You can't use Photo Stream if you aren't using OS X 10.7.2 or later, and iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3.
    OS X Mountain Lion requires a Late 2008 Aluminum or an Early 2009 MacBook. If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, you can upgrade to OS X Lion instead.
    First, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup of your data and upgrade to OS X Lion. Also, check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    After upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud, and turn on Photo Stream. Then, do the same on iPhoto. If you aren't running iPhoto '11, delete your actual iPhoto version from Applications folder and then, purchase iPhoto '11 from the App Store

    How pinnacle can be used for streaming video for mac app?

    Hi naturalfemale,
    As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
    Additional Information
    Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.

    At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

  • How do you view photos through windows explorer without using photo stream?

    I updated to the iOS6 and I can no longer view and download photos to my PC through windows Explorer.

  • How do I upload photo versions from aperture to my Ipad using photo stream.

    I am not able to upload photo versions from aperture to my ipad using photo stream.  The only photos that upload are the ones that have not been retouched.  However when I try other unretouched photos in a different album they do not upload.  Do I have some incorrect settings that need to be adjusted.

    The photos that hove not been altered in aperture are uploaded in photo stream however the altered photos (versions) are not.
    That is puzzling. My shared photo streams do upload all image versions I am dragging to them - original version and edited version. But both versions have to be shared to the stream, and they have to be unstacked, as Thomas already pointed out.
    Sometimes it takes a long time for the images to appear in the Shared Photo Stream, however. Maybe your Aperture Library needs repairing. Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools? Launched Aperture with the ⌥⌘-kys held down?

  • Can't share photos using photo stream in iCloud. File is always blank.

    Can't share photos using photo stream in iCloud. File is always blank.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

  • 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.
