HT4906 why can't i turn on my photo stream on my mac?

I am unable to turn the photo stream on on my macbook pro. I have tried serching the more information and and found nothing that has helped. I want to be able to see my photos on my iPhone that I have down loaded onto my mac. I have the photo stream turned on on my phone but can check it on my mac.
Can anyone help me.

As long as your system and iPhoto meets the minimum requirements for the basic Photo Stream try the following:
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.

    Maybe if you told us what you have and exactly wha you are doing someone could help - re-read your post from the viewpoint of a person who does not know you or know anything except what you post - think you could help?

  • HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

    Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

    Photo stream requires iPhoto '11 - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • HT201317 Why can't I view my iPhone photo stream online?

    I have an older laptop and it doesn't support the new software for iCloud. (REALLY bummed me out that Apple did that!) without resources to purchase new - I've lost a bit of appreciation for apple in that regard (just sayin)
    Anyway, I thought iCloud was set up so you could view your streamed pictures from anywhere at iCloud.com. Am I just totally out of luck in that respect? And why would you purchase extra space for iCloud if you can't even access your pics?
    Also - I have an iPad that I can't even figure out how to get iCloud on it. The settings are there - but no iCloud in my apps.

    There is no web viewable PhotoStream except for ones you choose to share with others. You can access your pictures from iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and AppleTV) plus Macs and PCs.
    Photos aren't the only thing that uses iCloud space, so there are many reasons why you'd purchase extra.
    After signing into your iCloud account on your iPad, your data stored in iCloud (such as contacts, calendars, notes, email, bookmarks etc.) automatically appears in the various apps that iCloud uses, such as Contacts, Calendars, Safari, Notes, Photos.
    It sounds like familiarising yourself with what iCloud does, how it works and how to use it would be beneficial to you. I'd recommend reading the Help:

  • Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

    Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
    Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

  • 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.

    Why can't I  turn location services back on?

    Hi Jalm14ts,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

    Thanks a lot.
    Solved!

    Hi Prodigy1,
    There is a limit of 8 megapixel, because the Exmor RS lowlight capabilities are optimized around this resolution. So change the resolution to 8MP or lower and it should work.

    Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.
