ICloud not posting to shared albums

I have used the iCloud shared album feature for quite some time and recently when I try at add photos from my iPhone to a shared album they do not seem to get posted.  I click the "+" at the bottom of the album and it lets me select the photos.  I then click "Done" at the top right and it brings up the "Post" message box.  I click "Post", which normally then starts the posting of the photos in the album, but they do not post.  I have tried different shared albums, different numbers of photos and nothing seems to work.

I just ran a Consolidate Originals (Move) on the library, and that seemed to help. Aperture was able to publish new photos to albums, but, and this seems odd, in the FB Add Photos  dialog box (in Safari). photos I have added to my library over the last few days do not show up in the dialog box [item #8 above].

  • IPad not posting to shared album

    I've been sharing photos on various albums for nearly a year with no problems.
    Suddenly it has stopped working properly.
    When I share a photo from my iPad, I cannot see it on my iPhone shared album and no one else can see it either on that album.
    If I share the same photo, using my iPhone, I can see it on my iPad album and others can see it too.
    I've checked my settings and all toggles are set to green.
    I've rebooted my iPad.
    Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    How are you posting to Facebook?
    As a test select one photo and click on the facebook icon in the toolbar and see how it goes
    Since you tell us absolutely nothing except that it does not work it is impossible to be definitive about an answer
    If you are using the iPhoto FaceBook feature (and there are at least two other ways that you could be "uploading to FaceBook) then selecting a photo(s) and clicking on the Fackbook icon will create a Facebook album under Facebook in the source pane. you can add photos to this album and sync them with FaceBook by dragging them to it and (if sync is set to manual) clicking on the sync icon to the right of the album name
    If you are doing a large album it may take a while to sync and show up on FaceBook - do not quit iPhoto until the sync is comp[lete

  • I can not access a shared album via my iPhone.

    I created  and shared a photo album from my iMac.  I shared the album with myself and several family members.  Some can access the album and for some it says "This album is no longer shared".   I did a test and sent myself the album invitation.  I am able to open the album through the email on my iMac.  However, when I click on subscribe via my iPhone, it says the album is no longer available.  The album is available - so that's not the issue.    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Julie2020, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like the invitation link for your shared album sometimes does not let you or others view the album. I am sure your family wants to see your photos, and I can offer some troubleshooting steps. 
    If you've already accepted the invitation on your Mac, first check the Photos app on your iPhone to see if the album automatically appears in the "Shared" section, as mentioned in the iCloud Photo Sharing overview.
    If so, next make sure that the album is shared with your family members' Apple IDs, and try re-sending an invitation to the ones who can't view the album: 
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Sharing at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared album that has the people you want to invite again, then tap People.
    Tap the person you want to invite again, then tap Resend Invitation.
    You can also complete these steps on your iMac by following the steps at this link:

  • Why is iCloud not working with shared calendars on my different devices?

    - I have had this problem for a cople of months now ... I have tryed evrything availabel in manuals and on the net ... are anybody els have the same problems?

    I believe I've figured out most of what was happening.
    On the iPad I had Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Sync set to Events 1 Month Back. On the iPhone 4 it was set to All Events.
    Even though I was only ever adding or changing one or two appointments, for some reason having this setting set to All Events seems to trigger a data transfer of about 4–5MB. This shouldn't be the case, because, as the article above points out, it should only be the new information that gets transfered. So I suspect a defect in the sync algorithm. Perhaps it can't handle the 9900 events in my calendar. But anyway, after changing the setting to Events 1 Month Back, the data usage for a change to an event went down to a much more reasonable 0.2MB. With the setting set to Events 6 Months Back, the data usage for the calendar update was about 0.3MB.
    Finally, I purged all data prior to 2010 by moving it to a different calendar (which will not be in iCloud), so that there are now about 1280 items in the calendar instead of 9900. I then changed the sync setting back to All Events. Now calendar updates trigger a data transfer of about 0.6MB. This will still add up to a noticeable amount if there are a lot of calendar updates in a day, but it's perfectly acceptable.
    So, in summary, for some reason iCloud can't properly handle syncing 10,000 events, and ends up transferring a ton of data for each calendar update, and the updates also didn't seem to get pushed properly in real time, or at least they took a long time.
    After purging the calendar the amount of data transferred for each update is reasonable and the updates are now nice and fast.

  • Why are my icloud photo sharing albums taking up storage on my phone?

    I am confused why if icloud photo sharing albums are supposed to have unlimited cloud storage why my icloud photo sharing albums are taking up storage on my iphone?

    iCloud is syncing your Shared albums with your devices. All photos you share to iCloud are synced to the devices that subscribe to the  shared album.
    If you want to save storage on your device, store your photos in iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and activate the option "Optimize Storage".
    See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You

  • Deleting shared albums on one device

    Hi,
    I currently have a shared album with a friend with around 2,000 photos. Due to space limitations, I want to turn off iCloud Photo Sharing on my iPhone which has said it will delete the album. This is fine for me but the album is also present on my Macbook Pro too and I was wondering if removing the album from my iPhone will affect it on my Macbook, as I don't want to lose the photos completely!
    Thanks,
    Elliot

    Elliot,
    has the album been created on your iPhone or your Mac?
    Signing out of iCloud on a device should not delete the shared album from iCloud, only from the device,  but as a precaution -
    before you delete the shared album on your iPhone, import the photos from the Shared Stream to an event in iPhoto on your Mac.

  • I upgraded to the new photos app on my mac and don't see my shared albums

    I do not see my shared albums on the new Photos app for iMacs.  Where can you find them as my shared tab just says start sharing but doesn't display the previous shared albums I create on the the old iPhoto app.

    Did you reboot the router too?

  • HT201077 Can only some subscribers to an iCloud Photo Sharing album post?

    Seems like iCloud Photo Sharing is missing some key features. Or clarity.
    I've created an iCloud Photo Sharing album, to share baby photos with family and friends.
    I want to my wife to also be able to upload photos to this album, but not everyone else.
    Can an iCloud Photo Sharing Album have 2 administrators?Or can we have individual subscriber settings to specify who gets to upload and who doesn't?
    Do all subscribers see who the other subscribers are? Family dynamics dictate that some members should NOT see each other (or their comments), but I don't want to have to create an album for each of those people).
    Do email (non-iOS) folks get an email notifications of newly uploaded photos? (families = many generations, some of which aren't iOS compatible) What's the fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi there Anthony Sbarro,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful. If you delete the photos, they will only delete from the photostream. 
    iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
    How do I delete photos from a shared stream?
    If you are the owner of a shared stream, you can delete photos from the stream in the same way you delete any other photos from your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC.  The photos will be automatically deleted from the stream on all your devices and the devices of anyone subscribed to the stream. Any photos that were previously saved or downloaded from the shared stream to another location, such as the Camera Roll, will not be deleted from that location. Learn more about deleting shared photos.

  • When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

    Hello JimS19,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

  • Shared albums not shown in Photos for Mac

    I upgraded my iPhoto library to Photos yesterday and the main photo content migrated fine. I have two OS X devices - a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.
    On my MacBook Pro, if I enable the sidebar in Photos, I see:
    Photos
    Shared
    Activity
    <Other shared albums - both my own and from another iCloud user>
    Albums<Various Albums>
    On my Mac Mini, I only see:
    Photos
    Albums<Various Albums>
    So Photos on the Mac Mini is not picking up on existing shared albums. If I go to View | Shared it prompts me to "Start Sharing" (as if I haven't done this before). If I click Start Sharing and then create a test album the sharing dialog just vanishes after I select and email address to share with.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any ideas?

    Ok. I followed another suggestion and tried restarting the computer. It seemed to bring up the libraries. At first, I saw no pictures from the shared photos as they reported zero photos when they came up. However, leaving it open for a while seemed to bring back more and more of the libraries, and that was only after restarting the computer a 2nd time. I did get almost all my shared photos back, but each time it seems to stop and not bring all the photos back. I'll try restarting another time as it seems to be the big thing here.
    The syncing activity in Yosemite seems to have some internal limit, where it stops attempting to grab photos from the stream and/or share, and then Photos only tries looking again after a computer restart, not a restart of the application.

  • My photo stream will not populate on my pc but the shared albums do

    My photo stream (pc) will not populate.  The shared albums (in the same iCloud Photos folder) populate with no problem.  What's the fix?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you plug your device in by USB to your computer, you should only expect to be able to import photos from the camera roll.
    Photos from the photo stream album will only sync when photo stream is properly set up within iPhoto, you don't need to use a USB cable for this to happen.
    Check that iPhoto is up to date and that photo stream is enabled in the iCloud settings and the iPhoto preferences.

  • Delete from Camera Roll vs iCloud shared album

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to figure out whether or not photos that I delete from my Camera Roll (to free up space) will also be deleted from Shared Albums (via iCloud Photo Sharing) with family members.
    Looking forward to your responses.
    Freerk

    Hi iFredo,
    Pictures shared with a Share Photo Stream are not deleted by deleting them from your camera roll on your device. They must be deleted from the stream manually. See this article -
    iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I add photo albums on my Mac to my iCloud shared album?

    I recently upgraded from iPhoto to the new Photos app on my Mac.  I then decided to try iCloud Photo Sharing.  I have 10,000 photos on my Mac and I keep them organized by albums.  I cannot figure out how to add entire selected existing photo albums in my Photos app which reside on my Mac to icloud Photo Sharing rather than adding photos one at a time.  It would take me forever to go through my 10,000 photos to choose which ones I want to share.  I just want to share certain albums.  Please help!  MacBook Pro Late 2011 Mac OS 10.10.3

    Open the album and select all of the photos.  click on the Share button and select the Shared Photo Album you want to add them to (or create a new shared album).

    Hvaing the same problem on my iPad since iTunes and ios5 upgrade - hoping for some updates from Apple to resolve problem - research has shown we are not alone!

  • Request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about th eamount of folks affected!

    request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about the percentage of folks affected!
    and what's with the minimalist response? We're working on it for 2 days? You can do beter than that for exsisting loyal customers can't you?

    I just spoke to a Support person with Apple.  I got the same answer, "We Don't Know", "but they are working on it...Blah, Blah.  I too live in Ventura, and have been without email since yesterday approx. 3:00 pm.
    The guy said, it's the same if you brought your computer into the shop.  We have to determine if it's hardware, or software, then fix the problem.
    Well, What about a BACK UP SERVER?  No real answer to that one.  Just, "Thanks, for your Patience."
    This really blows!!!
