  • 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 save photo stream pictures that are sent to me

    Please send guidlines for saving photos streamed to my I Phone IV S and saved on our Mac Book Pro
    Thank you

    Set the iPhoto/Photo Stream preference pane to that shown in this screenshot:
    If that doesn't import those photos currently in the Photo Stream just select them and drag onto the Events icon in the left hand pane.  From then on any photos taken on your iPhone will automatically be imported into the library as well as show up in the Photo Stream.

  • How do I share photo streams between iCloud accounts?

    We have two iPhones and iPads with separate icloud accounts.
    We want to share one Photo Stream but not the other.
    We share a Mac but don't activate Photo Stream on iPhoto.
    How do we share the (one) Photo Stream via the iPhone/iPad?
    Thank you.

    That's what Photostream is used for. 
    Thanks for the responses.
    What do you mean by this comment?
    It's the current photos that I'm after - I thought thats what Photo Stream did.
    Therefore I presume that means that only Albums or inidvidual photos can be shared?
    Many thanks

  • 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

    How long do shared photo stream albums stay in iCloud?

    I actually found the FAQ for Shared Photo Streams and the answer is:
    Do shared streams ever expire?
    No. Shared streams are removed from iCloud only if you delete the photo stream.

  • 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 ...
