  • HT4906 How can I get Photo Stream to work in iPhoto on my iMac?

    Photo Stream folder acts as if it has never been used. Yellow box shows directions on how to get started. Even though I have had it working successfully in the past, I tried each of the methods. No luck.
    I have gone through the process of verifying that photo stream is turned on properly on all devices (iPhone 5, iPad (original), and iMac (2011). If I download from my camera, all pictures show up on iPhone and iPad, but not in Photo Stream folder on iMac iPhoto. The date after the title "Photo Stream" shows December 5, 2011. (That's probably when I started using this iMac).

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Then check the iPhoto/Photo Stream preference pane to make sure the necessary checkboxes are checked.

  • HT4906 How do I activate Photo Stream?

  • Can't activate Photo Stream on PC

    So I have an iPhone 4, running iOS 5. I have downloaded iCloud control panel and I can't activate Photo Stream. This is what I get:  http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3097/icloude.png
    How can I fix this?

    I have posted a fix that works for two issues:
    You can't sign onto iCloud Control Panel;  just hangs with a spinning progress wheel forever..
    You CAN sign onto iCloud Control Panel, but things like photostream are greyed out
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811063?tstart=30
    If you have iCloud control panel open, close it. Make sure its not even minimized on your system tray.
    Copy this path to your clipboard: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
    Goto 'start -> run' (or click 'windows+r' hotkey)
    Paste the path in the run box and hit enter
    From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
    Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
    Apparently MobileMeAccounts.plist is getting screwed up in a couple different ways and prevents this from working correctly.  After you log on control panel again, photostream will not be greyed out.  You will have to reselect your custom path you want to store your pictures unless you just wanted to stick with the default path control panel is set to.

  • HT201317 can not activate photo stream on my Mac

    I have iPhoto 11 v 9.1.5 and OsX Lion 10.8.3 but can not activate Photo Stream on my Mac because it is not activated. The place to check activation is faded.
    Help?

    You need iPhoto 9.2.2 or later for Photo Stream and 9.4 or later for Shared Photo Streams:
    The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

  • Can't activate photo stream in iPhoto

    Hi
    It seems that I can't activate photo stream in iPhoto. When I try to click "Activate photo stream" in iPhoto > Settings > Photo Stream it uncheck itself right away. Realy frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?

    Jepp, same problem here.
    Photo Stream enables/activates  on both my iPhone and Macbook Air, but not on my iMac desktop. Enabling it in System and iPhoto Preferences is not possible ...
    Very annoying.
    Will check some other help forums too to see if a solution is available ...
    Keep us posted anyone else who discovers a solution to the problem ...

  • How do I control photo streaming from my iMac to my IOS devices?

    I have an iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iMac running latest versions of Lion and iPhoto.  I had photo streaming in the on position for each machine, and recently I downloaded over 1500 high res Nikon photo's from a vacation into iPhoto on the Mac.  I wasn't really thinking about the background activity with iCloud, but later I found that my memory was used up on the iPad.  When checking further, I found that all the vacation photo's loaded to iPhoto had photo streamed to the iCloud and been copied onto my iPhone and iPad.  Okay like duhh.....this is how it works, I get it now, very cool, now I have no memory left.  To make matters worse, there was no easy way to delete pictures from the photo stream on the IOS devices.....you have to individually check each pic to delete.  Lesson learned...I turned off the photo streaming from my iMac.
    But, the way I really would like to use this is to have all photo's and/or video's taken with my iPhone or iPad to be streamed into the iCloud and copied automatically to my iMac.....but I don't want the opposite to happen....ie, when I download pics from my Nikon onto my iMac into iPhoto, I don't want those to stream to the IOS devices.  Basically my iMac is the major long term storage device (with backup hard drive)...I view my IOS devices as just short term storage devices, and if something needs to be saved it should up load to my iMac.
    Is it possible to set up the devices this way with iCloud, ie, one way photo streaming?
    thanks ahead!

    iPhoto > iPhoto Preferences > PhotoStream, turn off automatic uploads.

  • TS4425 How can I remove Photo Stream pics from my Apple TV slideshow?

    I am a decorator and take photos of furniture, fabrics, etc on my phone daily, but I do not want these photos cycled in the slideshow on my Apple TV.  I have iTunes pulling photos from designated folders on my home computer, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove my iPhone photo stream pictures.  Suggestions?

    Hi lpetershagen,
    Here is an article of information on ways to delete photos from Photo Stream:

  • How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

    After accidentally deleting photo stream  photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV.  How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to  my iPad?  Suggestions welcomed

    If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
    If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
    If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
    I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • How can I view photo stream pictures on my pc?

    My photo stream folder on my pc isn't syncing with my iphone. I took it to the Apple store and they told me I had logged into icloud incorrectly and they fixed the issue for me and my photo stream worked well for one day and now I can't sync photos with my pc again. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    TouchCopy is frequently recommended for archiving SMSs. Much easier to view them through software like that than by messing around in the backup files (not for the faint of heart).
