HT201317 Is it possible to sort pictures in shared photo streams?

I am starting to use this "shared photo streams", and I think it's nice.
But I can't find out how to sort pictures in the shared photo streams... - Is it possible?
Thank you.
Best regards.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream photos are displayed in the order they are added. The only way to sort them would be to remove them from the album and add them back in the order you want.

HT201317 Pictures moved from Photo Stream to another Folder are pixelated.

I will add a picture to my photo stream and it shows up perfectly clear in the photo stream album. When I move it to the camera roll, it becomes pixelated and very unclear. This does not happen with all photos. How do I resolve this?

I am having this problem as well on random images, except it isn't evenly distributed pixiliation like on this example, but sections of totally black pixels.

HT201317 Has anybody an idea, why my jpeg-picture uploaded to Photo Stream does not appear on my S4 like all the other pictures before? Ok, it's 4 years old, but JPEG and taken with a digital camera...! I'm despaired after trying since days...! Thank you!

Ok, it's a 4 year old picture, but taken with a digital camera as jpeg...! This cannot be the problem really, but I'm despaired after trying since days...! Thank you all for any hint you've got for me!

If you asking me, I would suggest to additonally use a second storage service which also allows you to store your pictures over the 30 days period. I personally use Dropbox with automatic upload for that (https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ), but there are also other storage services like Flickr for example.

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.

Max # of pictures in a shared photo stream - Data usage?

Is there a limited number of pictures you can put into a shared photo stream. I know with the regular its 1k, is that the limit for the shared ones as well. Or can I create a photo stream with my entire photo library and have it all backed up on icloud.
Seperately how much data does shared photo streams use. Is it essentially downloading/uploading every photo to each device even over cellular connections. Its not a huge deal, but I'd rather not use up my data because a friend dropped 500 pictures of their dog into a shared stream. (But I do like dogs) Also does it take up space on your phone or is it all just held at the cloud level and you are essentially downloading it each time you look at it?

According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so). You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera. Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go). Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic. Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

How do you delete pictures on the photo stream

I need to know how to delete pictures from the photo stream and not regular pictures that you take.
Thanks,

No such functionality exists currently.

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

My iPhone 4S was replaced yesterday due to my handset being faulty. Before I gave the faulty one back I made sure all pictures were in photo stream! All 1006 were however when I got home and set up my new handset, there's only 146. Please help??

I received my new iPhone 4S today due to the last one being faulty. I had 1006 pictures in my photo stream however on setting my new phone up I only have 146 :( please help?

Had this problem before. sometimes it's the network. downloading all the photos take time.If you r so sure 1006 pics are in the photo stream, then no need to worry. It'll come. Give it time. Good things take time! <wink*>

HT201077 Someone sent me a link to a shared photo Stream but when I click on the icon it does not lead me to the pictures.

Someone sent me an email to look at their shared photo stream....pictures of my new grandson and when I clicked on their link in the email nothing happened...very fustrated....I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and made sure that I have the correct Iphoto....any ideas.

I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

Shared Photo Streams - Some Pictures Will Just Not Share

I am using Aperture to create Shared Photo Streams.
I have created 20 or so Shared Photo Streams, many of which work as advertised.
But I have a couple of situations where certain photos just refuse to get shared in to any Shared Photo Stream.
I discovered the issue when I noticed that for a couple of my Shared Photo Streams, the count of the Share Photo Stream was not the same as the number of pictures selected.
When I started investigating, I realized that there are certain photos that simply will not appear in any Shared Photo Stream. I can't see any difference between these photos and the ones in the same album that share fine.
I have reparied the database and repaired permissions, neither helped.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Suggestions?
Best,
Robert

Quick update on this.
I tried sharing a couple of the problematic photos the next stay and still no luck.
Last night I tried again hoping that the bugs were more on the backend than in Aperture itself and lo and behold I was able to successfully share all the photos I wanted.
So that this point everything is working as expected.
I guess chalk this one up to growing pains of a new service.
All in all, Shared Photostreams are very nice.

Mr ckuan, Read my question properly. You are keep on giving the same reply.
Pictures were there for last 2-3 years and they never got deleted from my phone and I am using 2 Apple Iphones. For the first time it happened now.
THANKS A LOT Mr. CKUAN. You just made us[many other people have the same problem] understand the problem.
I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE REPLIES ON THIS. I AM NO MORE INTERESTED. Since I understood that its MY [CUSTOMER] FAULT TO STORE PICTURES IN PHOTO STREAM in APPLE IPHONE.

HT201077 I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto. The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

Shared Photo Stream won´t let subscribers add pictures

Hi, I was wondering if there´s a way for the subscribers to upload pictures as well and not only the creator.
Thank you

At the present time only the person who creates the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

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.)

Is there a way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll?

Is there any way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll? I used my iPhone for a camera and put pix on iPad through photo stream. But I didn't realize they were not on the iPad camera roll, and deleted them from the phone Photostream. Now they are gone. Any chance to find them in the cloud?

No, there is no re-cycling bin on the iPad. If you deleted them from the card, and you havn't yet re-used the card, then there may be recovery software that you can get for your computer that might be able to get them back.
