HT4906 i have lion 10.7.5 why can't photo stream work

how do u use photo stream with lion 10.7.5

What is your iPhoto version? You will need  iPhoto 9.2 (or later) to use the regular Photo Stream; for the more advanced Shared Photo Streams you need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
See:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

iCloud: Photo Stream Troubleshooting
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.

  • Why doesn't photo stream work?  my photos do not get uploaded?

    my photos dont get uploaded to photo stream? why?it stopped uploading 2 weeks ago it is supposed to do it automatically once u have a wi fi connection ( or 3g )..

    I'll assume you are talking about an iOS device that takes photos. 
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.  If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos.  For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

    Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!!
    I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
    How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

    How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • I have just upgraded my account why can i not use it, it keeps redirecting me

    I have just upgraded my account why can i not use it, it keeps redirecting me

    Hi;
    You upgraded your FormsCentral account?  Can you explain what you mean that you cannot use it, what is happening, when and where are you being redirected?  Did you use the same email address for the upgrade as you used to sign into this forum?  We see a lot of cases where users sign into FormsCentral with one email address but then use a different during the upgrade process.  Check and see if you have another email you might have used for the upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Have Lion (10.7.3) and can't get my Time Machine to hook up???

    Have Lion (10.7.3) and can't get my Time Machine to hook up???

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.

  • HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

  • TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I have downloaded the ebooks, but why can't i click it open?

    I have downloaded the ebooks, but why can't i click it open?

    What do you mean, 'downloaded'? Take pictures where? Are you saying that you have an iPhone or iPad and you don't have enough memory for any more pictures? Adding the 10GB won't have any effect - it's extra space on the iCloud server for Documents, email, Contacts, Calendars and iPhone backup. You can't increase the memory on an iPad or iPhone by any means. If this isn't your issue please clarify what you mean.

  • HT1725 why can't I stream the friggin' thing? 3 hours to download a 45 minute show?

    why can't I stream the TV show I want to watch and paid for? Why does it keep telling me it will take longer and longer to download this program? It started at 37 minutes and now it's up to 4 hours. And I see no progress. How can I stream it instead of downloading?

    Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem.  could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem?  the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes.  the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before.  is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming?  i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever.  the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play. 

  • HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

    Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
    I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
    It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
    This solved the problem:
    1. Log into appleid.apple.com
    2. Set the language.
    The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.
