HT201077 My shared photo stream originally was working.

My shared photo stream originally was working. But then the person I was sharing with sent me a shared photo stream. I never got it and now the stream I sent to her no longer updates with photos I've added to it. Has anyone experienced this and figured out a fix?

I should have mentioned that they were all showing ok last night, but this morning when I checked only 9 out of 60 are showing. I even deleted just one or 2 from my iPhone at first, made sure they were still showing in the stream, before deleting the rest. So can't understand now where the missing ones have gone?

Shared photo stream no longer working. Please help

I was making shared photo streams on my MacBook Pro, iPhoto 9.5, Mavericks, no problem. The past week, 90% of the time, it fails. I have tried dragging photos into iCloud, and now the photos are not even accepted. Please help. Tons of photos to save (also save on Carbonite), but want them in iCloud to share with family.

Tons of photos - have you perhaps exceeded one of the the limits? Then you wll have to wait a bit, see:

Shared Photo Stream won't work

I am trying to create a Shared Photo Stream with my iPad. I have successfully followed available instructions to the point of inviting my wife to subscribe to the Photo Stream and having her subscribe. The problem arises when the Shared Photo Stream icon appears on her iMac - clicking on it to open the Photo Stream always reveals that there are no photos in the Photo Stream. This occurs even though the first step in the process is to select a photo for sharing via Photo Stream. We encounter the same problem when she tries to create a Shared Photo Stream on the iMac and invites me to subscribe - everything works as expected except the Photo Stream has no photos in it for the subscriber to view. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

HT5902 How do I recover my own shared photo stream that was deleted accidentally?

To save space on my iPhone I deleted the photo stream as I later found out I should have done unsubscribe instade. Is there a way to undo deleted photo stream from icloud? I do have the pictures on my phone but there are comments from people I shared pictures with that I like to recover. Can someone help?
I can get the links that was sent out to people when I shared it with them if it help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry you can't undelete a shared album, if you have the original photos, you will have to create it again without the comments.

Shared Photo stream doesn't work? (note: Photostream does)

I Have the new 5s and I set up iCloud. My Photo Stream works fine. If I take pictures on my iPad, they show up on my iphone no problem.
BUT I noticed that none of the SHARED photo albums I had before are showing up on my iPhone. Also, if I create a shared album and send out invites, no one receives the invites.
And before anyone says anything, ALL photo stream and photo sharing settings are turned ON. I even tried deleting my iCloud account off of my iphone and re-adding it. No luck there.

Having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

HT201077 Viewing shared photo stream in web browser in slide show mode

The pictures in my photo stream used to fill the whole web page when in slide show view
now they sit in the middle of the page surrounded by a black boarder.
Can this behaviour be changed back to full page display?

If you are using iOS 7, open the Photos app on your iPhone, tap Shared at the bottom, tap Edit at the top, then tap the icon next to the album you want to delete. If you only want to delete selected photos in it, tap the album, tap Select at the top, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap the trash icon at the bottom.

Shared photo stream gone from iOS but still on laptop

I own a shared photo stream that was created on my iPhone. Sometime in the past few hours it disappeared from my phone, iPad and the other iPhone under my Apple ID. However it still shows on my laptop and is up to date. How can I get it back on my iOS devices?

If these photos are precious, it's worth considering purchasing a file recovery program. I accidently deleted a whole batch of emails and I bought online and used an application called FileSalvage (about £50) which recovers all types of files. You can select it to just look for image files and then just recover those.
If so, limit your use of your Mac as of now, as you will be writing data to your hard disk all the time when saving and potentially write over picture data that's sitting on your hard disk.
Although Mail's .emix file format is not a common file type, it did the job, so image files will be easy.

Shared photo stream storage

Hello all,
Quick question. I see that in the description of photo sharing on apples site they say the following.
All your photos on your Mac or PC
Your computer automatically keeps all the photos that come through your Photo Stream.
I am wondering if someone can confirm that this applies to shared photo streams as well. I.e. will all the photos that others share with me be kept on my computer for good?
Thank you for the help

no shared photo streams do not work the same as PhotoStream -- see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

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.

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.

HT201077 Can't join shared photo stream

I have Windows 7 and I got an e-mail with a link to join a shared photo stream.
I've asked the person if he can just e-mail me the pictures, but he says he doesn't know how, so it looks like I have to deal with all this stuff. So...
I created an apple ID. I installed iCloud Control Panel 2.1. I checked the box in iCloud CP next to Photo Stream (and also both boxes in the Photo Stream options). I signed in to iCloud with my Apple ID. I've closed things and restarted my computer and tried eveything else I can think of, but still when I click on the "Join this Photo Stream" link in the e-mail I just get taken to the page that tells me how to set things up.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to have iTunes or some specific photo viewer installed or something too? I don't see anywhere that it says I do, but I can't get it working the way it is.

I was never able to resolve this problem and like abridge1, there was no shared photo streams in Windows Explorer, just My Photo Stream.
I've since uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, so I can't test the theory out, but I wonder if the problem was that the invitiation to join the photo stream was sent before I had created an Apple ID and/or installed iCloud Control Panel. Maybe if the invitation was sent again it would have worked.
Instead I asked the person who made the photo stream to recreate it but this time check the box that gives you a URL so that anyone can access the pictures without any special software. Much easier.

Shared Photo Stream not working on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5

I currently have a shared stream with my wife on my iPad and her iPhone. I want to share photo's with her from my MacBook. I have turned on photo stream in iCloud preferences and photo share in iPhoto preferences. I select the photo's to share in iPhoto, click on the share icon, then photo stream. Nothing happens, I don't get any option to add or create a shared photo stream. In the source list my photo stream in the latest category, I see in iCloud help it is in the Web category. Not sure if this is the problem. I just want to share photo's from my Macbook Pro.

As far as I know, D2 will only work on legacy systems that do not run on intel processors. The game only works on the older PowerPC system, unfortunately.

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.

Shared photo streams not working in new iPhoto?

I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iPhoto to be able to work with the shared photo streams I'd created on my iPhone, but they seem to be nonfunctional in iPhoto 11. I'll select photos, create a stream, and add the photos; the pictures will say "added to shared photo stream", but the stream itself will be entirely empty.
Quite simply, iPhoto says it's creating and adding pix to photo streams, but it isn't. How do I fix this? It's sort of a major omission to have a prominent new feature not actually function at all.

iCloud photo sharing, which allows subscribers to add photos and videos to a shared stream created by you, will not be supported until OS X Mavericks is released. OS X Mountain Lion only supports shared photo streams, which does not allow subscribers to add photos.
Notice that is says "(iPhoto and Aperture users will not see photos and videos added by iCloud Photo Sharing contributors at this time.)" under "What do I need to be able to like photos and videos in a shared stream" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379. Also note that is says "Coming with OS X Mavericks" under "iCloud Photo Sharing" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759.

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

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.
