HT204053 what is my photo stream account name

help
i cannot get my apple tv to recognize my photo stream

Photostream is purely a conduit for syncing photos between your Macs and iOS devices: there is no provision to view the photos online and it's not intended for sharing with other people.
To share photos with your friends you will have to find an alternative service: this page examines some options -

  • Photo stream account questions

    good day all!
    hoping to get some advice as i searched the web and cant find it.
    both questions pertain to photo stream
    1. if i am using a 'shared photo stream' is there a setting that will allow me to automatically upload every photo i take on my iphone 4s to the shared photo stream. if such what is the method.
    2. is it possible to have more than one photo stream account on the same computer. i know i downloaded icloud on my computer but it didnt tell me if it was possible to have more than one photo stream account. i noticed i could sign out of icloud and assume sign in with a different account but how would it seperate both and what would happen to the first photo stream account when i logged off the computer.
    thanks for answering!

    but my old mobile me settings
    Make sure you are using the correct Apple ID user name and password.
    On your MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect the box then restart your Mac.
    On your iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on, then reset.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Can I have more than one photo stream account?

    I currently have a Photo Stream account using my old email address. Before I delete this account, is it possible to have two accounts, one using my old email address, one using my new email address?
    Thanks in advance!

    It won't add them to the same group, it will create another group and you will be able to choose to view by a specific calendar(s) or all calendars. If you display all (or more than one) of your calendars (as I do in the image below), events are denoted by different colours.

  • What exactly is photo stream?

    I have just upgraded to lion on my iMac and had already brought my iphone and ipad up to iso5.  I turned on photo stream and a few other things in icloud, like notes, etc, but not contacts or book marks, I don't want all of them from my imac on my phone so I am waiting to see if Apple will change this in a future version. 
    I open iphoto and saw a picture I wanted to move on to my iphone.  So I dragged it to the photo stream on the side bar of iphoto.  When I clicked on photo stream, there were already 12 photos in there.  Some were photos I had deleted from iphoto on my imac earlier today.  I was suprised to see them there and tried to delete them.  They would not delete.  So I did a search here and see a LOT of questions on how to delete photos from photo stream, most with no answer.  I did find where to reset my photo stream, under my name at the top right of icloud when I logged on to icloud  on my iMac.  But when I go to my iphone and look in photostream, inside photos, there is no way to delete a photo.  Also, in itunes on my iMac, photo stream shows up on the left sidebar under recent, but I cannot delete any photos from there.  Like others, there are photos in photo stream that I don't want. 
    Then as I think about it, I am wondering, if we are all a bit confused.  Maybe photo stream is JUST a 'pathway' for moving photos between our devices and whatever is in the photo stream, as apples says, sits there for 30 days and then 'falls off' the 'pathway' so to speak, and that the pictures 'live on' in each of our devices, ie the photo library on our iphone and ipad and in iphoto on our home computer (imac, laptop, etc.)  It may be that we are all confusing what photo stream is and is not.  If it is just a mechanisim (pathway in my description) for moving photos between devices, then it would make some sense that the photos will not delete.  They stay there for 30 days to give us time to move them into folders on the i device or the home computer. 
    My next question is how do photos get INTO photo stream in the first place?  does every photo we take with either the iphone or ipad, go into photo stream?  And does it also go into the camera roll?

  • HT204053 how do i change my account name (apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

    how do i change my account name(apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID.  This will delete the account and any data you sync with iCloud from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • HT4858 What about shared photo streams that's not shared with anyone?

    I want to use shared photo streams mainly to keep my albums online and I find it the easiest way.
    The article says that the maximum amount of photo stream I can share is 100.
    What if I create a photo stream and I share it with no one? Will I be able to create more than 100 photo streams if I don't share them all?
    Thanks
    Uri

    It doesn't matter whether you share your shared album or not, it still counts toward the 100 limit.

  • What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

    Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
    Anyone know?

    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.

  • What happened to Photo Stream?

         After updating to ios8 the photo stream and camera roll albums are gone. I opened iCloud on my computer and it says the photo stream folder is empty (I backed up to iCloud and my computer before I updated). Many photos are visible from the collections area but this is inconvenient. Where is the photo stream and camera roll app?

    This is not helpful.. What I am asking is.. Why is the photo stream and camera roll album removed from the album page? I have no way to access my old photos other than through the Photos tab which has them grouped by location and date. Also, I cannot access my photo stream photos on my computer.

  • What happened with photo stream with new update?

    I have a iPhone 4s. I just downloaded the newest iOS 8 update. I do not have separate folders for my camera roll and photo stream. Are all my pictures now going to my photo stream? If so is there a way to choose which photos go to photo stream?

    In iOS 8, Apple combined "camera roll and Photo Stream" into "recently added" folder.

  • What is my photo stream

    Why when i open photo... There alway 2 directory. One is camera roll and the other one is photo stream.

    Photo Stream is a way to have photos you take on your iPhone automatically appear on your computer or iPad where you have also turned on Photo Stream. There is more information on it (including on how to turn it on or off on each device) in the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • What is my vimeo user account name?

    Hey there,
    I'm in the final cut pro X vimeo uploade feature and it's asking for my account user name.
    I've got my name as Caleb Kingston and my end url as stunninganimations. Which one of these do I use?

    Well the silly thing with FCP is you can enter anything you want, hit publish and it will take an hour or two to export the video and THEN at the end, it will tell you whether it was right or wrong. I tried it once and entered the wrong username or password and left to go home expecting it would be uploaded by morning but when I came back, it was stuck with that error. I can't remember what I tried last time so I just wanted to be positive I got it right this time before going home. lol

  • Apple TV - what happened to photo streaming?

    We use (or we used to use) our Apple TV to stream photos from my computer (iPhoto library) to a TV in our kitchen.  The way we did this was to choose Computers, then my computer, then Photos.  It was set up to change photos every 5 seconds. 
    The Photos option no longer appears under Computer any more, since this week's Apple TV update.
    Why did they take it away?  Can I get it back?
    Message was edited by: Jim McDonough half a word.

    As an update, after restarting the ATV, the Photos entry is back when I click on Computer.  But when I attempt to use it, it fails, eventually bringing me back to the main menu.
    I can stream photos using the screen saver option, clicking Preview.  But using the Photos cannot load more than a few dozen photos at a time (a small album, for example).

  • HT201317 what if my photo stream doesnt work?

    Then you can't change the volume or any other functions that may be assigned to it.

  • Wrong name displayed in Shared Photo Stream on iPhone/iOS 6

    I invited my wife to a shared photostream and MY name shows up when she comments on a photo.  It might be that she's using what used to be MY phone.  Here's what we did in our upgrade to iOS 6 and the iPhone 5.
    I got the new iPhone 5 and passed the old 4S to my wife.
    1) I backed up her old iPhone 4,
    2) I reset the 4S (iOS 6) and restored from her old 4's backup.
    3) Sent her an invitation to the photo stream, she accepts, posts, and it displays MY name.
    4) Discovered on her phone that "My Info" under Settings-->Mail...-->Contacts was pointed to MY contact on her phone, not her own.  Fixed that.
    5) Removed her from the photo stream, re-invited, still shows my name.
    Could Apple be associating a Device ID with a name at the server level?  How do I fix this?

    Hi all, after a view hours trying to resolve this I have found the answer to photo stream sender name issues.
    iPhoto will display the name associated with your apple ID.
    I logged onto "manage my apple ID" and found my wife's apple ID was registered to me and not her
    It took 5 seconds to resolve - simple really
