HT201317 Shared Photo Stream Using Memory

Hello, Shared Photo Stream is using 1.3gb of memory on my devices.  Does anyone know why?

Sorry, I have no iDevices, so I can't test it, but from what I've read, it sounds like 2,000 is a lot more than  it was meant for...

  • I do not see all photos exist inside a shared photo stream using iPhoto on Mac

    There is a shared photo stream among 5 different users with 125 photos and videos inside. For my account I use 3 different devices to access this photo stream, an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone. All 125 photos appear ok on my iPad and my iPhone. However when I access this stream from iPhoto on my iMac I only see 69 of them. None of the photos I have shared using my accound are there plus some other photos and videos shared by other users. Other users can see all 125 photos in their mobile devices. What is wrong with iPhoto on my iMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    OSX version 10.8.5
    iPhoto version: 9.4.3
    With these versions you cannot see the contents posted on IOS 7.0.4 devices by the persons invited to the stream. You will only be able to see the photos streamed by the owner.
    If you want to see the photos added by the subscribers to the stream, you need to upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Mt. Lion does not support the new shared photo streams of IOS 7.0.4 fully.

  • HT201317 Shared Photo Stream on iPhone 4S??

    I have updated my phone to iOS6 & I wanna turn on my shared photo stream service on my iphone but when i go to iCloud settings and tap on photo stream, there is only one option and that is "My photo stream" and I can't find shared photo stream!! but i easily turned it on on my ipad!! someone help me!

    Try going to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (Note: before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.)  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  You data will sync back to your phone when you sign back in.
    After deleting the account, sign back in and turn your data syncing back to on.  Then see if Shared Photo Streams appears in settings now.

  • HT201317 Shared photo stream

    Hi all,
    Can subscribers add photos to a shared photo stream?
    Thanks

    They can now, but only with an OS7 device or PC with iCloud app.  Silly that it can't be done on a mac computer though.

  • HT201317 Shared photo streams

    Can I add photos to a photo stream someone else created, but I'm linked to on my phone?

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

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Trouble creating shared photo streams

    A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
    Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
    Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
    The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
    Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
    The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
    Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
    There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
    In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
    None of this seems to make any sense.
    Thanks,

  • Sharing Photo Stream with Windows user

    Greetings.  I am trying to help a family member join Shared Photo Streams on their Windows PC so they can see the photos of their grandkids.  We installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1 on his Windows 7 notebook, and I created an iCloud account for him using my MacBook.  We can log into the account on iCloud.com, so we know it has been set up.  We checked the Photos boxes in iCloud Control Panel.
    I added him to an existing Shared Photo Stream using iPhoto on my MacBook, and he received the invitation via email, but when he clicks on the link to join, all he gets is a page that says you can only join a Shared Photo Stream using one of a list of Apple devices.  I have read all the troubleshooting posts, and we even tried the hint that suggests killing all the Windows proceeses and restarting, but no joy.  I'm successfully sharing the stream with other Apple users, so the basic sharing is working.
    I know we could set up the Photo Streams as public Web pages, but we'd really prefer not to have the baby pictures available to anyone who happens to find the URL.  Some posts I've read seem to indicate that other people have this working, but we just can't figure it out.  Any help from someone who has this working with the software combo above would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

  • 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.
    ...Gunnar

    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.

  • Shared photo streams not using full resolution

    I was very excited about this feature but after testing it I realised it's not using the full res pictures on the shared photostream. Which for me is kind of a silly.
    Am I doing something wrong or is that how it's working?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Larry,
    Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd...  I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums.  Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both.  The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other!  I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account.  Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine.  Any thoughts??  Thanks!
    Hardware/Software Specs:
    MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
    Aperture 3.5.1
    iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
    Note:  I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that.  Figured it's worth a shot!!

  • Photos-App: How do I find out which photos are used in a Shared Photo Stream?

    Hi folks,
    I just ecountered a “problem“ using a Shared Photo Stream.
    FYI: I have circa 1.200 images stored in Photos-App. About 360 of them are used in a Shared Photo Stream.
    Now I'd like to delete all the fotos NOT used in said Stream.
    Since the images in said Stream are not in the same order as they were originally taken, there are also many images between the ones used.
    So now I am confronted with the time-consuming task of comparing and deleting the photos, switching between Stream and Album/webview all the time.
    And do it all by hand. Naaaaaaaah! ):
    Any ideas on how to speed up this whole process?
    (I already wrote Apple to maybe add a label or icon to the photos used in a Stream (when in any other view) so it gets easier to identify the right ones.)
    Greets, Tim

    Incorrect. Photos added to the Camera Roll are automatically uploaded to Photo Stream. Photos deleted from the Camera Roll are not automatically deleted from Photo Stream.

  • TS3989 Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? How?

    Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? When I try to search in the shared photo stream it goes to search in my photos.

    I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices.  If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices.  To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
    I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos.  It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

  • HT201317 can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

    can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

    No.  At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.
