HT201317 Who can add photos to a shared Photos Stream?

I shared a Photo Stream with family & friends and successfully shared photos with them. Can they add photos to my Photo Stream too? Or am I the only one that can add/delete photos from my Photo Stream?

As mentioned in your other post, the ability for others to add photos to a shared photo stream is coming in iOS 7.

HT201317 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.

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.

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.

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

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

In iPhoto (09) I can add a description to a photo which will display when running the slideshow, however when I sync the Album to my iPad and I run slideshow the description does not display, WHY?

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

HT5903 Are photos stored in Shared Photo Streams in full quality?

Does anyone know whether photos uploaded to Shared Photo Streams are stored in full (original) quality?
I'm interested to know whether Photo Streams can be relied upon for backing up photo collections (i.e. they can be downloaded again in original quality in case of loss from the computer/phone/iPad they were taken with), or whether it is only really for sharing.
Thanks

No. Not for shared streams

My photo stream keeps photos at full quality in the cloud, although it only syncs lower resolution photos to an iOS device, but full resolution to your computer.

HT4858 What about number of days. How long is a photo stored in shared photo stream? 30 days?

What about number of days. How long is a photo stored in shared photo stream? 30 days?
Also, do photos in a photo stream (shared or personal) get backed up on a pc if the icloud panel is there?

I've adapted this from a function on my blog. you will need to add set the YourTicketTable to where ever your tickets are stored.
CREATE
FUNCTION [dbo].[CalcWorkDaysBetween](@StartDate
As DateTime,@EndDate
AS DateTime)
RETURNS
INT AS
BEGIN
SET @EndDate
=DATEADD(DAY,1,@EndDate)
DECLARE @Count
AS Int= 0
DECLARE @Date
As Date=@StartDate
WHILE @Date
< @EndDate
BEGIN
IF (DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@Date)IN(1,7)
OR (SELECT
Count(*)
FROM YourTicketTable WHERE TicketDate=@Date)=1)
BEGIN
SELECT @Count = @Count
+ 1
END
SELECT @Date=DATEADD(Day,
1,@Date)
END
RETURN
DATEDIFF(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate)- @Count
END

Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.

HT201317 Can my friends add photos in my shared Photo stream folder?

I shared a photo stream with some friends. they are unable to add photos into the album. Is this functionality available like that in dropbox where everyone in the shared folder can add data in?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only the owner can add photos, comments can be added by everyone.

I can't add multiple photos to a shared photo stream in iPhoto.

Hi All,
I need troubleshooting assistance! How do you add multiple photos at a time into a shared photo stream?
I've selected multiple photos but when I add them, they don't appear in the stream. However if I add them individually they do appear. I've tried re-setting my internet, re-starting the iMac and iPhoto, I've left iPhoto on overnight in case it took a while to add them to the stream..but nothing works! I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
I'm running v10.9.4 OS on my iMac and 9.5.1 iPhoto.
For more information, when I select multiple photos and add them to the photo stream, it "looks" like these photos are dropped into the photo stream by the graphics that follow but when I open the stream they are not there!
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to share only a few photos at a time? When I am sharing a small number of photos all it once, it works.
You may be hitting one of the limits for sharing:

How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
How could that be ?
How can I get around this ?
How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
This can't be a software issue...
because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
Thanks !

The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
- at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
- a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
- a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
- OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
- iPhoto 9.4
...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
[ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

HT201317 How can I move a file in photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library. If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.

Can't see pics in Shared Photo Streams

On my iMac, I see "My Photo Stream," which is populated with pictures and working correctly. I also see grey cloud icons for numerous shared Photo Streams that were either shared by me or by others. However, no photos are loading for any of those shared Photo Streams.
Notably, on my devices (2 iPads and 1 iPhone), I can see all of the photos with no trouble. And when I recently upgraded to iPhone 6, the Photo Streams immediately worked, which suggests to me that the photos do exist in iCloud.
Does anyone have thoughts as to why this is not working on my iMac?

Since you are seeing the Shared Photo Stream Albums in Aperture, but empty, you have all preferences set up correctly.
Aperture or iPhoto should be filling the albums from the folder I mentioned, but they cannot, because this folder is empty.
There may be two reasons for this folder being empty. Either the Photostreamagent is not running or you may be having a permissions problem with your home folder.
Have you tried to toggle the Photo Sharing off and on again in the System Preferences, as described here in this link? iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Stream
You could also try if removing the empty folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared and restarting the Mac will help.
As a test you could try, if the Shared Photo Stream will work in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
If all fails, launch the Console from the Applications folder and check, if there are any error messages relating to "photostreamagent".
