I don't have "Photo Stream" option in iPhoto Preferences

I am trying to get photo stream on my iPhoto on my Mac so I can see pictures from my iPhone 4S. However, when I look up instructions to do so they always mention the Photo Stream tab in the iPhoto Preferences. Mine doesn't have that. This is what mine looks like, and I verified I have the latest
iPhoto version, which is 9.2.3. We have an iCloud account, and on my iPhone I have a Photo Stream folder. How do I get photo streaming on my Mac?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

In the system preferences for iCloud set it up then in iPhoto turn on PS
genera instructions along with software requirements for different features are here - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?

Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

What has happened to the export from Photo Stream option in iPhoto?

Until very recently I was able to export items from Photo Stream in iPhoto my Mac. Abruptly this option seems to have disappeared, and is now greyed out. Anyone got any idea why? Thanks in anticipation?

The borders and themes have been discontinued.
If you want them back, send a feature request to Apple:

Shared photo stream option missing iphoto 11

In Iphoto / preferences there is a missing option to check
Shared photo streams.
Iphoto 11 - upgrade
OSX 10.7.5
Anyone know how to resolve ?

Upgrade your OS - shared PhotoStream requires OS X version 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or newer and IOS 6.0 or later
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:

Aperture 3.4.3 - shared photo stream option missing

Shared Photo Stream option missing from Preferences in Aperture 3.4.3. When I move photos over to "Shared Photo Stream" under Recents, it seems to import the images, but I'm not sure where they're going....i.e. I never specified a Shared Photo Stream name to associate them with. Thoughts? I'm running 10.7.5.

Where do you see "Shared Photo Stream" under "Recent"?
The Photo Streams are supposed to appear in the "Web" section of the library, not in the "Recent" section. Are you seeing a recent project there, accidentally named "Shared Photo Stream"? Then you are dragging your images to a project, and not to a stream.
Look in the "Web" section of the Library inspector for "Photo Stream". If the stream is hidden, hover with the mouse to the far right of the title "WEB", until the word "Show" appears.
Selecting a stream and opening should make the "PhotoStream" button appear in the footer of the window.

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.

HT4557 I don't have the 'iPod ' option in my iPad in settings menu as shown here. I have music option shown. I have 5.1 os installed. How to enable sharing/streaming of music now?

Yes.
You need to,turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on the computer. The computer and the iPad will need to be on the same wireless network. You will also need to make sure the same AppleID accosiared with your iTunes is also added to the Music app in Settings.

If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.

Check out this discussion > If i delete pictures from my camera roll on my iPhone will they be deleted from my iCloud also?

Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
I have MSWord 2010.

When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

The Photo Stream option dissapeared from the left side-bar in iPhoto.

Hello everyone, just to let you all know, I'm new to the world of Mac. As I was setting up Photo Stream in iPhoto, I accidently clicked on the "No Thanks" option instead of clicking on the "Turn on Photo Stream" option. Now the link has disappeared from the side-bar in iPhoto, I am affraid I might have ruined my ability to 'photostream'. Is there anyway I can redo the entire process? Any input will be greatly appreciated. By the way, I enabled photostream in iCloud from system prefences. Will enabaling it in iCloud make Photo Stream work even though it does not appeare in the iphoto side-bar?

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

Syncing notes with iCloud requires it have the correct email address linked, as notes get synced with an email address.
Now, assuming that you have successfully set that up, though most people don't first time around, then if you deleted the note from the phone, it will have deleted from iCloud as well.
Meaning, unless you have that note located in a backup in iTunes or iCloud you won't be able to get it back.
You can restore the iTunes backup simply by connecting to itunes and hitting restore backup. Only thing is, any info that changed since the backup was made will be lost. (i.e. if your backup is a month old, your phone will look like it did a month ago, and only have that info on it.)
Or, you can restore from iCloud, which requires erasing all content and settings, then selecting that backup. SO, you can see the predicament.

TS3989 I have just downloaded the latest Software, Lion, but i still don't have the Stream highlighted...what have i done wrong?

That's what I was thinking but my neighbour did the 10.8 and got the 11 so can't understand how she got it and I didn't.
I have been reading about iphoto 11 and there has been a lot of bad press when using with the iphone, ipad etc. Is it, in your opionion, too much hassle just for photo stream?
Thanks so much for all your help...I thought i was gonna go mad, lol

Is it necessary to have photo stream "on" in ICloud?

Is it necessary to have "photo stream" turned ON in ICloud?

I have been usung Mobile Me and not turned On the photo stream but rec'd a message from Apple saying I needed to activate the photo stream and Documents within the next few days. Would this mean all my photos etc would not be synced( pushed) if I don't. I am fairly new to all of this so forgive my naivety.

Using "Photo Stream" option with "Photo Library" enabled

Hello,
Since iOS 8.1, I enabled the "photo library" option, but the "photo stream" option is still there in the settings app.
What's the use of this option now that the library is enabled ? I'm not understanding why the two options can co-exist.
Thanks
Phil

Hey pcarrier80,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to know how both features would work together. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

I can't find my pictures on icloud where are they?? i have photo stream on but I can't find icloud on my computer to make sure it is on! It isn't listed under the network and internet like the "help" option said!

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
