HT4906 No photo stream

My icloud on my mac book is not letting me click on photo stream - any ideas why not? I can't see my photos in iphoto from my imac.

Does your MacBook meet all requirements described here?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
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
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
And have you tried to enable the Photo Stream like this?
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.

it will not let me carry out the tick, unlike other options
trouble is, i have two macbooks and i can't do it on either of them
is there something fundamentally simple that i haven't done
i would reaaly appreciate the solution to this

HT4906 is photo stream on lion

There are two places to go to enable it, in System Preferences->iCloud; Photo Stream and in Aperture in Aperture Preferences->Photo Stream

HT4906 My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams. How can I make them the same?

My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it. But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it. The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
Thanks!

The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.

HT4906 How can I subscribe to a shared Photo Stream in iPhoto

I'm trying to use iPhoto to subscribe to a shared Photo Stream from my sister-in-law. Whenever I click on the invitation, it says I need to sign in to iCloud -- which I have multiple times now -- and be running iPhoto 9.4 (which is actually 9.4.2). So, I've satisfied all the necessary steps, but it's not bringing up iPhoto on my computer. I have Photo Stream on iPhoto configured to allow subscribing to shared Photo Streams.
Anyone have any ideas?

Figured it out with a helpful hint from someone elses post.
I have two iCloud accounts. My System Preferences had iCloud configured with the wrong Apple ID.
The email that gets sent when someone shares a Photo Stream might mention something about the System Preferences -> iCloud needing to be configured if you want to see the shared stream in iPhoto on a Mac.

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

HT4906 As I set up my iCloud, Photo Stream which is faded cannot be chosen

As I setup my iCloud, Photo Stream is faded. I cannot choose the Photo Stream.Why is that?

This is the iPhoto forum. Since you have a PC you should post your question in the iCloud on my PC: iCloud: Apple Support Communities forum.

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.

How to import photos from photo stream into an event?
In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the My Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

HT4906 how do you delete pictures in photo stream?

how do you delete pictures in photo stream

if you have iphoto 9.2.3 or later, and photostream is on the left hand side, just drag the images into the trash.
the only other option is to nuke all of them at once by signing into icloud.com clicking on your name in the top right, then going to advanced. and pressing the Reset Photostream button.
or alternatively, a quick google search will show you http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20121486-285/how-to-delete-photos-from-photo -stream/ which says exactly what i just said
