HT4906 Updated to Mountain Lion but cant photo stream from iphone 5

Hi, can anyone help.
I have updated MacBook today to Mountain Lion - I was expecting to be able to steam my iphone 5 photos to laptop.
Do I have to purchase anything else to be able to do this?  Thanks

Be sure both devices are signed in to the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled:
On your Mac:
On your iPhone:
Lastly go into iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane and set it up as shown:

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

    Hi Fred,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • I have updated to Mountain Lion but both Mountain Lion and Lion are showing up in my App store as needing to be downloaded? Help

    I have updated my mac pro to Mountain Lion, but when I go into my updates in App store it shows both Lion and Mountain lion needing to be updated. They are not coming with a cancel option and when I download Mountain Lion it tries to download for a very long time, but then shows and error and shows up again as needing to be downloaded. Lion is now on pause to keep from downloading it. What do I do to get rid of both of them.

    Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
    You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
    Cancell both downloads anyway.
    Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed,  Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
    Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.

  • My iPad will not sync photo stream from iPhone

    My iPad ios7 will not sync my photo stream. It only received 1/4 of my photos. My iPhone ios6 has the correct photo stream. Tried Turing off photo stream on iPad, afraid to turn off photo stream on iPhone as I may lose data. I know the photo stream limit is 1000 so I keep it at 900. iPad is fully updated. iPhone all apps are fully updated. Same Apple ID is signed in across 2 devices for iCloud. Both are backed up on same wifi. Loading iTunes just to back up photo stream seems silly but maybe forced to.     Thank you.

    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • What should I do If I've already got serial number for update to Mountain Lion but I can't

    I brought my Macbook Pro on 26 June 2012 so I can upgrade to OSx Mountain Lion for free.
    After I tried to claim serail number but I was stuck in step three (my internet access down when I was moving to last step)
    Now I'm try and try to do that again but it's said that I've already got serial number so what should I do?
    How can I get Osx Mountain Lion?

    Your only option will be to contact iTunes Store support and see if they can help you.  Click on this link and choose the Account Management option, and create a new case with iTunes Support. 
    Good luck!

  • Downloaded mountain lion but cant open download

    why is my mountain lion refusing to open I have a lap top 10.5.8 and it refuses to open says I need a 10.6.8 or higher I thought thats what I was doing updating my system can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.I need to sync my ipad with my laptop and nothing is working.ugh

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which are available by phoning the Apple Store, or if possible, start up that Mac in FireWire Target Disk mode and use the other Mac to run the installer on a blank partition or drive.

    Do I have to download lion before I can download mountain lion?

    No...
    See Here for Upgrading to ML...
    First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

  • Photo Stream from iPhone to Macbook

    Photos won't stream to my Macbook from my phone.  When I go to System Preferences on my computer, then to iCloud it tells me that I need to upgrade iPhoto.   I don't know what version I have but it's the one that came with my computer in 2008.
    Is there a way to do this without paying the $14.99?  I'm a recreational user and this would just be easier than emailing myself the photos I want for just messing around.
    Also, someone previoulsy mentioned an iphoto plug-in.  What and where is that?
    Thanks

    No
    As you saw when you read the FAQs link I posted
    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    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
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Unfortuantly now in order to upgrade to iPhoto '11 you have to either upgrade yoru OS to Mavericks - a free upgrade if you Mac supports it - or putchase an iLife '11 DVD from a vendor - Amazon or eBay are sources

  • Photo stream from iphone to ipad

    My phone got stolen now im trying to see my photos on my ipad, they both have the same user name.  But u cant see them, on my ipad photo stream it show only 37 pics but i do have over 1000.. Any help ??

    You're welcome.  Restoring your backup to his phone will replace the data and settings on his phone with the ones on your old phone, so he would need to start by backup up his phone, then restore your backup, then import the recovered photos to your computer, then finish be restoring his backup back to his phone.  His phone would also have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your phone in order to use restore the backup.  If it isn't, he would need to update it first.  The specific steps are:
    Upadate his phone the the same or higher iOS as your phone was running (if necessary)
    Save any photo stream photos that are not in his camera roll to his camera roll so they are not lost.  To do this, open his my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Create a current backup of his phone, either using iTunes or iCloud (iTunes is faster to restore to later).  To back up using iTunes, connect the phone to his computer, open iTunes, click on the name of his phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of his iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    Erase his phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then your should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were yours and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and his charger as it is restoring the backup.
    When finished, import the recovered photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Erase his phone again by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then he should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were his and when given the option, choose either Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from iTunes Backup depending on whether it was backed up using iCoud or iTunes in step 3.  After restoring his backup his phone should be back to the way it was originally.

  • Transferring photo stream from iPhone 4 to 4s

    I just switched from an iPhone 4 to a 4s. I made sure that my recent photos were backed up in photo stream but not on my computer before I did this. Is there anyway to access those photos from my new iPhone? They are not showing up in my new photo stream even though I am signed into my iCloud account.

    If the photos were uploaded to photo stream more than 30 days ago they will not be available to download to a device which just enabled photo stream on the same account.  (Photos older than 30 days will remain in the photo stream folder on your device if they are already there, but will not be availalbe to newly connected devices.)  If that's the case, you'll have to import the photos from your iPhone 4 to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) then put them in a folder and then sync them to your 4S by putting selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.
