HT203511 shared photostream upload stopped

I decided to create some shared photo streams on my mac. I started uploading and everything was fine, then it just stopped. I did a little research and found out that there are limits of 1000 photos uploaded an hour then the upload pauses until the next hour. OK... well it's been at least 3 hours and nothing is happening. I also noticed that some of what I uploaded shows up on my devices, but not on my Mac, weird. right? I restarted iPhoto and even restarted the computer in case there was a glitch somewhere. Does anyone have any insight? I even tried deleting a stream and recreating it, nothing happened.

Hi there Unnamed For Personal Reasons,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for shared Photo Streams found in the article below.

  • HT201317 shared photostream appears to have stopped updating

    My shared photostream appears to have stopped updating to other users, any thoughts as to why this may have happened? It has worked for the last 3 weeks with no problems, I still have 4.8gb of iCloud storage and I have only uploaded 83 pictures.

    At that point I would recommend just waiting and allowing it some time. Last year, before IOS 6 came out there was some backlog in some Apple systems. If problem does not fix itself in few days, I would suggest re sharing the new stream and deleting old one.

  • Shared Photostream stopped working

    My wife and I each have a shared photostream that we use to share photos.  This worked perfectly for a while, but has now stopped working.  Currently, if either of us upload a photo to our respective photostream, the other isn't notified, and those pictures don't show up on their phone.  I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, which did nothing.  I did completely delete the photostream and create a new one, which worked for about a day, and then stopped again.  Any ideas?
    We're both using iOS 6, her on an iPhone 4 and myself on a 5.

    I inadvertently solved the issue on my own.  I realized that my wife's phone was nearly out of storage space, which was preventing photos from being added to the photostream.  I didn't realize that when you add a picture to a shared photostream it actually puts that photo on your phone twice, taking up more space.  So she couldn't add to hers, and she couldn't get the ones I was adding.  We removed some items from her phone to free up space, and then started getting notifications of photos added on both our phones.

  • HT201077 my pc gives message that photostream has stopped working  it wont upload photos

    pc gives message that photostream has stopped working.  I have checked settings and read through online support, can't find why.

    I was having the same problem.  Earlier in the week, I was able to drag a few photos to the upload folder and they synced correctly.  Yesteday, I dragged different photos, and I got the "applephotostream.exe has stopped working" error.
    The solution - for me, at least! - was to reduce the size of the pictures being uploaded to the photostream.  While all of the pictures were jpegs, the first set were ca. 800K (3800 x 2500), and the second set were ca. 2.5 MB (4000 x 2000).  When I reduced the resolution of the last set by a factor of 4 (ca. 600 K, 2000 x 1500), they uploaded without a hitch.
    Based on this admittedly sketchy experiment, it looks like Apple has a max picture size limit, apparently based on file size rather than picture resolution).  Perhaps < 1 MB?  To be rigorous, I should complete the experiment - leave the resolution of the second set of pictures alone and reduce file size by reducing jpeg quality. 
    Has anyone heard about a picture file size limit?

  • Since updating to iOS7 I cannot upload my photos to a shared photostream

    working with Mountain Lion and iPhoto: after updating my iPhone to iOS7 suddenly the upload of photos to shared photostreams does not work any longer. I tried all the ways through iPhone, iPad and MBP, but alas to no result: cannot upload photos any longer. Anyone has any suggestions how to solve this?

  • ICloud shared photo stream stopped working for one subscriber

    A shared photostream stopped working for one subscriber. Tried resending the invite several times but after the person clicks on the link, it says "stream no longer shared". Have tried alternate emails and no avail. Anyone else have this issue? I tried resending the invite to myself and to a phone number but also having the same issue. No issues uploading to the photostream or any issues for anyone else.

    Reassigned email address in contacts from "home" to "iCloud" and that did the trick!

  • Can I create a shared photostream from my pc?

    I know I can upload photos from my PC to My Photostream, but I want to create a Shared Photostream (album) with photos from my PC.  It seems I cannot create an individual Shared Photostream album on my PC, and upload pictures to it.  I can only create a Shared Photostream from my iPhone, and upload photos to it from my iPhone.  Am I doing something wrong?
    The problem with My Photostream is the photos there will get bumped in time, with pictures taken by my iPhone.  I want to keep the photos in a Shared Photostream (album) so as to play them on my Apple TV.
    What can I do?
    Thanks!!!

    Thanks so much.  I clicked the New photo stream link at the top and was able to make an album of photos to display on my Apple TV, just as desired.  Only problem now is that the Random Theme selection in Apple TV does not rotate amongst the various themes, it just sticks on one, unlike the Random Theme selection in Ken Burns or Classic selection choices at the bottom of the list which does rotate.  If you know anything about this, please let me know.  Meanwhile thanks again to set me straight on the first tip!

  • HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

    As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • Shared photostream - sort photos by date?

    I've created a shared photostream for sharing travel photos. I've uploaded the photos as I've edited them. Now I find that the photos are not in chronological order in the photostream and have lost all their place/date&time photo information.
    And I can't resort in chronological order.
    Now what? It's a mess.

    Have you selected the event and used the autosplit event command?

  • Help with Shared Photostream

    Hi guys!
    I could need some help with the shared Photostream function.
    I read the Q&amp;A about it and i'm sure now that my shared Photostream albums wont delete by apple at anytime.
    Also i read about the Limits of Upload 1000 an Hour, 10.000 a Day.
    My idea is to use the Shared Photostream Album function as an online Backup before selling my old iPhone.
    Here is my Problem:
    I got a lot of pictures on my Old iPhone, and i experienced a Lot of Memory usage through the new Albums i created so far,
    So my Memory space is totally Full... I thought it's mainly online space used?
    Next Problem is that the Upload wont work correct. It's only working with a 100-200 pictures After that i Can select other pictures
    But These wont upload anymore...
    And If i erase my old iPhone the iCloud Shared Photoalbum wont be affected?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    No, the data is deleted from your device but not from iCloud.  The only thing you won't be able to access after signing back in is my photo stream photos older than 30 days (which is why you should save them to your camera roll before deleting the account).
    The other thing you might want to review are shared photo stream limits, in case you might have exceeded these: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858.  These include a maximum of 5000 photos & videos per shared stream (combined), and 1000 photos & videos per hour (from all contributors).

  • Photostream share stopped working (either receiving or sending photos).

    My photostream share recently stopped working. When I publish photos on my phone to the share, it appears (on my phone) as if they went through, but no one else is receiving the published photos on their devices. I have tried shutting down my phone twice to no avail. I am not receiving photos shared from others either.
    (It doesn't appear to be an icloud issue as I can publish from my Mac no problem; just not my phone.)

    Thank you. Will I lose all my photos if I do so? The phone prompts that I will. Will they return when I rejoin my shared photostreams?

  • PhotoStream uploading my photos to Windows servers!

    Hi,
    I have found one thing which really upset me.
    Some process uploads big amount of data so my network connection start behaving slower, but I discover, that it is PhotoStream uploading my photos to Windows (Azure Storage) server!!
    Here you can see established connection:
    cyberdelia:~ mcmelik$ lsof -i | grep window
    PhotoStre  2567 mcmelik   49u  IPv4 0x74d7a0a63ac45bf      0t0  TCP 10.0.0.5:59604->blob.db3prdstr07a.store.core.windows.net:https (ESTABLISHED)
    Can please someone tell me what the **** is going on there? I have no M$ application on my Mac. Even if I turn off photostream upload in iPhoto, it is still sending data.
    Im not aware of sharing photo stream with someone on PC, but if so, why are my photos uploaded directly to some Windows servers?
    Thank you for explanation

    Got it: http://www.redmondpie.com/guess-what-icloud-uses-windows-azure-services-for-host ing-data/

  • Aperture not showing shared photostream library

    Aperture used to show me not only my Photostream library, but also a shared photostream library I created.
    Now it only shows the normal (1000 photos) photostream library, not the shared one I created.
    However, when I go to share a photo, it gives me the option to upload to my normal photostream or the shared one, so it's obviously still aware that it exists.  And the photo then appears on my iOS devices, but not in any Aperture shared photostream.
    Any ideas?

    MAke sure you have shared photstreams on in both
    Aperture->Preferences->Photostream
    and
    System Preferences->Photostream->Options

  • Max number of photos in "shared photostream"?

    What is the maximum number of photos that can be shared in the new "shared photostream" in iOS 6? 

    I just came again across the Photo Stream FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    How many photos can be stored in Shared Photo Streams on my devices and computers?
    Unlike My Photo Stream, shared photo streams are not rolling collections. Any new photos that you add to a shared photo stream do not replace your older photos. A shared photo stream can hold a maximum of 1,000 photos. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos before adding new ones.
    I wonder if the pictures in the Shared Photo Stream count against your "regular" Photo Stream?
    Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
    No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
    It really would help if the information about "Shared Photo Streams" were to be found in the "Shared PhotoStream" documents and not only in the gereral "My Photo Stream" articles.

  • HT201077 I cannot download video from shared photostream

    I can upload video to a shared photostream. I can see video in my and others photostreams. But I cannot save any video from shared photostream to my Ipad. It is declared officially that it is possible. But after I tap SELECT and tap a video in shared photostream, the DOWNLOAD sign in the left top corner does not become blue. It stays grey and does not offer any options if I tap it. If I do the same actions with any photo (not video) it works well. But with video it refuses to activate this download sign in the left top corner of the screen.
