HT201077 My name appears on my wife's Photo Streams instead of hers.

My name appears on my wife Photo Streams instead of hers; is there a fix for this? I have checked all her settings, but found nothing. The only thing we have in common is that we share the same Itunes account on the two devices, but that should not matter, should it?? When she comments on her friends pictures, it looks like I am the person leaving the comment.

My wife's photo stream is showing up in the new photos app

Just dowloaded the new update, but my wife's photo stream is now showing in the new app on my computer. We are using family sharing, but can't figure out why her photos should be appearing. Help!!

No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing. "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Tony

Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup. Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later. It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account. If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings. You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad. Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again). They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

Printer name appearing on my wifi list

Lately, I've seen that my printer's name is appearing on my wifi list. What is the password ? Does it even work? What does it do ?

Sounds like you have Wireless Direct enabled in the printer. This needs to be disabled and the printers SSID will no longer be visible. Read your manual to see how this is done.

My a/c name comes up on a shared photo stream, why?

Hi I set up a photostream in my business name to show some clients my work and I always use a pseudonym to keep my ID private as I have a nasty ex that was tracking me, when I posted the photostream to my clients it was the new beta stream and had my account name/real name all over it. I thought it would just have the photo stream name. Is there an option so you can put pseudonyms instead of your full name?
I don't have my name on any other photo apps so why are Apple deciding that emblazoning it everywhere is a good idea?

That's good to know. I have wondered how that is done.
You sir are indeed the Captain.

MBA - slow internet/wifi then photo stream is enabled

I have problem with very slow internet /wifi connection when photo stream is enabled. I run some test. I'm conecting MBA to internet by WIFI network. When photo stream is enabled, ping reply time to my router is around 1000ms - 2000ms. When I turn off photo stream, ping reply time is around 1ms, and internet works fast. I've tested MBA with difrent access point and there is the same problem. I have 2.5GB of photos on iCloud.
What can I do to fix this?

Photo Stream uses a lot of bandwidth. The fix is to disable it.

Is it possible to change my name when I'm sharing a photo stream?

I would like to use my “artistic name” when sharing my artwork via a photo stream. Currently it reads shared by my name. Is there a way of altering that?

There is no settings in the iphone to do what you want.
it's either all or nothing.

When I take a picture with my iPhone it does not appear on my macbook in photo stream in iPhoto as it should.

I have Photostream set up on my iPhone and on my macbook. When I initially set it up it worked downloaded the images in Photostream to iPhoto. Now, when I take a picture it does not appear in Photostream on my macbook. I did not change any settings. Any suggestions?

If your phone is not jailbroken, then the odds of you having a virus on the iPhone are infinitesimally low.

HT201077 Can I add older pictures to my photo stream?

Can I add older pictures to my photo stream?

There are a couple of ways to do this:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll (if you choose to send them as Actual Size) and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

My iPad photos did not upload to my Mac. they appear on my iPad as "photo stream", but didn't transfer to the new MacBook Air

Just tried to back up my PHOTO STREAM ipad photos to my MacBook. They didn't upload....
My Photo Stream is turned on.
Thoughts?

On your Macbook Air:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

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.

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.

HT201077 Can I share all my photos with my wife without having to constantly add photos to the shared photo stream?

My family has an imac where we have a family photo library in iphoto. The iphoto library is under my wife's profile. My wife and I each have an iphone 4S. I'd like all the photos my wife and I take on our iphones to automatically upload to the iphoto library on my wife's imac account. I've tried a few different ways of doing this and none of them are ideal.
My current solution works, but has some unwanted side effects. Currently, my wife and I use the same main icloud account on our iphones. This would be the perfect solution if it didn't take up the same icloud storage (among other issues).
It'd be nice if you could have 2 photo streams linked to the same iphoto library on a mac. This way both my wife's photo stream and my photo stream would downloand to the same iphoto library. It doesn't appear that iphoto for mac allows this.
I realize I could do this the old fashioned way (outside of photo stream). But, it seems as though there should be a solution that works automatically.
Could there be a solution creating a shared photo stream on my iphone and sharing this photo stream with my wife? I've looked into this but can't see how it would work automatically. It looks like you have to manually add photos to a shared photo stream. I'd like the shared photo stream to update itself to include all photos I take.
Does anybody have a simple solution for this problem?

There is not (yet) an easy solution to use an an iPhoto library with two separate My Photo streams.
It might be easier to take the family photo library out of your wife's account and move it to a shared location, so boh of you can maintain it, see:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
This way, both of you could download automatically to My Photo Straem and your private iPhoto Libary, remove the worst pictures, and then export only the best shots to the shared library. This will make the shared library smaller and at the same time create a backup of the best pictures, and it will ensure that your family will never see a potentially embarrassing photo. Sharing My Photo Stream is really dangerous, because each and any picture you take will be added the PhotoStream, before you can delete it.
As you may have seen at Apple's WWDC keynote presentation the new MacOS X Maverick will bring more sharing options for Photo Streams: Watch the keynote
You may want to wait for the next software generation before doing any major reorgansition.

HT201077 Shared Photo Streams do not upload full sized photos!

Oh boy, so it seems that Apple's "optimized for your device" policy with photos has reared its ugly head again (PLEASE, just give us an option for optimizing the size or leaving it the original size like you do for compressing songs to 128kps on our devices!!!!)! The addition of Shared Photo Streams seemed a godsend to me, as prior to iOS 6, my wife's iPhone was stuck in this iCloud ID ghetto, where her device's main account was mine so that we shared the same Photo Stream. This way, when I went into Aperture on the Mac to process and import photos to our home library, all of our mobile pictures were in one place. This came with the consequence that the other "main" iCloud features, such as (inexplicably) Safari syncing, were unusable to her as they were from my personal settings. So once shared Photo Streams came about, I thought "Perfect! Now I can just share all of my photos to her iCloud ID, and then all of our combined pictures will show up in Aperture!" The problem is that, when I looked at the pictures on the Mac from the shared photo stream, they only were available at the "optimized" 3 megapixel resolution for iPhone, not the original 8 megapixel pictures are the photos from the main iCloud ID ones are. This is a huge deal for two reasons, 1. I can't import and process these pictures for saving permanently they're more than HALF the original resolution, 2. Anyone that I share photos to, friends, family, who want to maybe save those to their computer for printing and whatnot, are ALSO stuck with a halfbaked low resolution file!
I did have the a-ha idea, that perhaps if I shared photos from Aperture on my mac to my wife's Photo Stream, perhaps it would then share the full resolution photo as that's what Aperture gets from iCloud's servers. Alas, no, still the shared photo stream only gets the compromised file. There has GOT to be a way for the full resolution pics to be shared, otherwise the service is nearly useless to me! As far as I knew, shared photostreams just link to the original files, so it's not like this will take up any more space on Apple's servers. If someone has a solution, let me know!
The only other solution is to allow the use of more than one Photostream account on a Mac with Aperture. I feel that this is a no-brainer, and a little silly. Either you provide family style iCloud accounts for uses like Photo Stream, or you accept that every iOS user in a family will have their own Photo Stream. This means that they need to be able to be accessed on the same family computer.

I have this same issue except with iPhoto. We each have our own computers and I thought the shared photostream would allow us to each have all the photos, but they aren't full sized.

Can I disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?

Hi,
I just purchased a mobile router with a data limit 50MB/day for my old iPhone 4.
This iPhone 4 only connects to WIFI network.
I like photo stream and want to keep using it with my unlimited family WIFI network, but, the problem is when I connect it to my mobile route through WIFI, the photo stream won't stop working. That cause my 50M/day plan runs out in a minute.
So, is there a way to disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?
I tried iPhone Configuration Utility and it seems not have a function like that.
Thanks in advance!

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.

I used part of my name in my home network. Now I understand this was stupid security error. How can i change the name of my home wifi network, airport express? Thanks.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the picture of the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Edit the Wireless Network Name
Keep it short.....maximum 10-12 characters or so. No blank spaces or punctuation marks in the name
Click Update at the lower right of the window to save the new setting and wait a full minute for the AirPort to restart
