HT201077 Videos contributed by my contacts do not play in shared photo streams on iOS7

Anyone come across this and found a solution?

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.

  • HT4858 Videos not playing in shared photostream albums on IOS7.

    I share a photostream album with my family who have all upgraded to IOS7 on their devices. However, when I add videos (taken with iPhone 5) to the shared photostream, none of the recipients can play it. It simply hangs. They all have a good connection capable of playing 720p videos. Any ideas?

    Seems this has already been discussed with no fix as of yet

  • HT201077 Is it possible to change the owner of a shared photo stream?

    Hi
    I set up a shared photo stream on my brother in laws phone because I shot some pictures with his phone after my battery died. Now I would like to know if it is possible to change the ownership of this photo stream to me so I can add more people to it from my phone. Or do I just habe to set up a new one?
    Thanks

    No, the owner cannot be changed.

  • HT201317 I can not view my shared photo stream.  Does not show in source list. Help!

    I cant view my shared photo stream from my source list.  This is preventing me from adding or removing photos.  Any ideas?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream in iPhoto if both devices are signed in to the same iCloud account..

    And it seems you must do this every single time the shared photo stream is updated, ie. photos added/removed.  this is pīss poor.

  • Shared Photo Stream not showing video on Mac

    Hi,
    I can now see videos in my shared Photo Stream using IOS7 so that seems to be working fine. I can also see the video when viewing the public website for the shared Photo Stream. However, for the same shared Photo Stream I cannot see the video on my Mac using iPhoto. Is that supposed to work now too?
    Thanks,

    I am not aware that video is supported - and do not find any documentation saying so - there is documentation updated on Sept 18 saying that it does not - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
    My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream does not work with video.
    Wherer are you seeing that it is supported?
    I do see some editorial material indicating that it is and in those there is no mention o fthe Ma - only IOS 7 and Apple TV version 6
    http://teachmeios.com/apple-introduces-video-sharing-via-photo-stream-in-ios-7-a nd-apple-tv-6-0/
    So I'm not sure how it is suppose tto work but for not it appears that it is not for the Mac based on the limited info I've found

  • Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

    why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

  • Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

    Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

  • I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

    I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

    You would lose photo stream photos older than 30 days from your my photo stream folder.  Tto keep them save them to the camera roll first.  To do this in iOS 7, open your my photo stream alburm, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the lower left, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    The photo streams from others should reappear when you turn it back on.  Worst case, the owners of the shared photo streams would have to re-invite you.

  • 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. 

  • Shared photo stream from others not showing my own posted photos in iPhoto

    Hi community,
    I'm facing a problem I'm not sure if it might have been answered somewhere before but if so I cannot find it..
    My wife opened a shared photo stream with her iPhone and invited me to it. Since then, we both post new pictures to it and it syncs perfectly (at least it seems like) on our iOS devices, her iPhone, my iPhone and iPad. We're running iOS 7 on all devices.
    The problem is that I cannot see any of my pictures in that stream on my MacBook in iPhoto 9.4.3. In streams I created it works fine and it's a comfortable way to get photos from iPhone to Mac without having to connect with a cable. But the mentioned stream my wife created contains only her pictures in iPhoto. I'm running Mountain Lion. (Since Mavericks doesn't seem to bring any new features I need and usually new OS X versions seem to slow down the computer I don't want to update.)
    Does anybody know how to fix?
    Thanks in advance
    Rob

    general info is here - http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/photo-stream/
    I'm totally clear on what your issues is - but I believe that the feature that Mavericks has that yu are missing is full support for shared photo streams
    What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
    Apple TV (second generation) with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
    If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you can use any up-to-date browser to see photos and videos added by the owner and all contributors.
    And I found that Macvericks is much faster - the 64 bit software seems to be a big improvement

  • How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

    thanks

    Hello there, missjanellez.
    The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
    Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
    Do any of the following:
    To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
    To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
    To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
    If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro

  • Shared Stream not showing all shared photos on all devices

    So, we have setup a shared stream in Photos to share family moments.  The main issue we are experiencing is that on my iPhone I am not able to see contributions from one family member, but on my iPad they show up.  Both are iOS 7, and have been through all the troubleshooting steps though have not done the "turn off sharing, and delte all photos" step.  Any ideas on why or how that would be happeing?  Thanks!

    You can apparently force ios6 devices to receive the subscriber contributed photos by turning off shared photo streaming and turning it back on again. It is under General Troubleshooting in the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379
    A similar workaround did not work with iPhoto 11.
    To get around this, I've been re-sharing the subscriber contributed content and deleting the original from the stream. They show up, but not a very elegant solution.
