HT201077 Can only some subscribers to an iCloud Photo Sharing album post?

Seems like iCloud Photo Sharing is missing some key features. Or clarity.
I've created an iCloud Photo Sharing album, to share baby photos with family and friends.
I want to my wife to also be able to upload photos to this album, but not everyone else.
Can an iCloud Photo Sharing Album have 2 administrators?Or can we have individual subscriber settings to specify who gets to upload and who doesn't?
Do all subscribers see who the other subscribers are? Family dynamics dictate that some members should NOT see each other (or their comments), but I don't want to have to create an album for each of those people).
Do email (non-iOS) folks get an email notifications of newly uploaded photos? (families = many generations, some of which aren't iOS compatible) What's the fix?
Thanks!

Hi there Anthony Sbarro,
You may find the information in the article below helpful. If you delete the photos, they will only delete from the photostream. 
iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
How do I delete photos from a shared stream?
If you are the owner of a shared stream, you can delete photos from the stream in the same way you delete any other photos from your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC.  The photos will be automatically deleted from the stream on all your devices and the devices of anyone subscribed to the stream. Any photos that were previously saved or downloaded from the shared stream to another location, such as the Camera Roll, will not be deleted from that location. Learn more about deleting shared photos.

  • Why are my icloud photo sharing albums taking up storage on my phone?

    I am confused why if icloud photo sharing albums are supposed to have unlimited cloud storage why my icloud photo sharing albums are taking up storage on my iphone?

    iCloud is syncing your Shared albums with your devices. All photos you share to iCloud are synced to the devices that subscribe to the  shared album.
    If you want to save storage on your device, store your photos in iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and activate the option "Optimize Storage".
    See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You

  • How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

    How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
    You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

    I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

  • Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Can't enable iCloud photo sharing on my Mac

    I recently had some problems with my computer where it would not turn on so I had to restore from a time machine backup. Ever since the backup, everything on the computer is working exactly as expected except for the fact that I cannot turn on iCloud photo sharing. I've tried to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in... didn't help. I tried to delete iPhoto.... Didn't help. I have noticed that if I have the "Photos" checkbox under the iCloud menu in System Preferences checked that a process called "iCloud Photos" comes up in the Activity Monitor. This process takes up 100% of my CPU and never goes away. I'm pretty certain that this is the issue but I'm not sure what to do from here. If I try to end the process it just comes back up. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the checkmark in the iCloud preferences window. I have attached a few screenshots to help illustrate. Thanks in advance for your help!

    I just tried with a different iCloud account and it worked! So the problem is with my iCould account... unfortunately, it might not be very easy to troubleshoot.
    UPDATE: When I signed back in to my normal iCloud account it still worked! I'm not sure what signing in with the other account did but it obviously helped! Thank you so much for your help!

    I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • IMovie icloud photo sharing just in iOS

    dear experts,
    i have iMovie in iOS and with iOX.
    in iOS there is a function 'icloud photo sharing'. I can't find it in the version in Yosemite?
    i found it to be the way to share my videos withmy family.
    thanks.

    Hey wangyz_david,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5s in relation to battery life. The following website outlines some great tips for maximizing battery performance:
    Apple - Batteries - Maximizing Performance
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
    I also understand that you are interested in performing a recovery mode restore. You can find information regarding recovery mode here:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Please keep in mind that restoring your backup may cause the issue to be restored as well. For the best isolation steps, you may wish to restore as new:

  • HT202786 icloud photo sharing missing location data

    I have created a shared album using iCloud photo sharing with a friend. When I share some pictures from Photos on iPhone 6 with my friend using also iPhone 6 though tie shared album the pictures do not show the location data (geotag/map info). help me!

    I have the same issue: the Shared tab shows zero content, even though I have dozens of shared albums in PhotoStream (all visible from my other devices, actually). I'm using iCloud Drive for photos on my MacBook Air and iPhone, but on my main desktop computer (Mac Mini) I opted to keep using PhotoStream. I'm thus wondering if that's part of the problem?
    I'm using iCloud Drive for photos on my secondary devices, but on my main desktop device I have just about 1 TB of photos, and iCloud storage is WAY too expensive for that. (By contrast, OneDrive can handle my photo backups as a part of my 365 subscription.) Maybe I should turn iCloud Drive off on all devices and go back to my old system and see what happens. But I'm curious what sort of scenarios are causing the missing Shared Albums for other people.

  • How do i get my photos from icloud photo sharing to PC?

    HELP!!!!
    I transferred all my photos from photo stream into folders in icloud photo sharing to transfer them to my computer....I have done everything I can think of but all my pics wont go over to pc....some of the folders names are there but no pics???
    what do I do as now phone wont let me do anything as it says I have too much data used?

    Hi, just wanted to let you know I have the same problem. I did a  BING search and it came up with, you have to down load icloud for windows to your pc, then you sign in to your apple id, after you install the program. you will have to do photo sharing between all of your devices, and make a folder for it. walla pics. Hope this is somewhat clear enough, otherwise, try the  BING search for your answer! Good luck

  • Iphone 6 icloud photo sharing not working

    Today I got an iphone 6, did all the updates, and tried to use the icloud photo sharing.  I can create a stream, add photos, and invite people to view; however, when other people accept the invitation nothing shows up except "No Items" despite me sharing 50+ photos.  Also, when the other person adds photos to the stream I don't see anything on my end.
    How do I fix this?

  • HT202786 my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
    Here are the details.
    1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
    2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
    3) Start MPEG Streamclip
    4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
    5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
    6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
    7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
    8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
    9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
    9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
    11) Open iMovie.
    12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
    13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.
