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.

  • TS4006 Can't get photo stream to work on my iPad 2

    I can't get my iPad photo stream to work

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Are you sure it is enabled properly in settings > iCloud. Is photo stream working on other devices. Have you tried disabling it and then enabling it again.

  • TS4425 How can I get Photo Stream to show on my Apple TV?

    The iCloud terms and conditions do not load when I open iCloud on my PC. I have version 2.1.1 and both my iPad and iPhone are still on iOS 5 (neither of which I want to update to iOS 6).

    With the app "Agent-Shot".
    But there is no Geotag ;-(

  • How can I get Photo Mail to work to send pictures?

    I have just purchased Photoshop 11 and have been trying to send photos by Photo Mail but it is not working. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

    As John T. Smith mentions, Photoshop Elements questions should be placed in the Photoshop Elements Forum at Adobe. I believe he has given the appropriate links for doing that.
    Here are some of the questions that will need answers:
    1. How have you set up the Sharing in Elements Organizer 11, Edit Menu/Preferences/Sharing/Email Settings? What do you have set for your Email Client? Have you tried to use Adobe Email Service as the Email Client and successfully gotten an verification code via an email from Adobe?
    2. Specifically where along the process is the feature not working? Please give that in detail when you post in the Photoshop Elements Forum.
    3. If you get to the point where the email is prepared and it just will not send, then check the taskbar for what looks like a double entry when you place your mouse cursor over the Elements Organizer thumbnail there.. On the second, click Maximize.
    But the answers are in the details.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

  • How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

    In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

    No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
    Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.
