ICloud shared photo comment

Hi,
My wife, her mom, and I are using iPhones. Of course we thought iCloud photo sharing is the best way we can share our photos because we live apart. So my wife set up an iCloud photo sharing album and invite her mom and me. There have been no problem to share photos among us, but, I found something weird.
Most of time, it is my wife and I who upload photos. My mother-in-law usually leaves comments on photos. By the way, what I found was the comments that my mother-in-law left on the photos are seen only to whom posted the photo and not to the other one. For example, if my wife posted a photo to the iCloud shared album and her mom commented on the photo, the comment are always seen to my wife and not to me. Then, in case that I posted a photo, the comment by mother-in-law is shown only to me.
Is there anything we did wrong in setting up the shared album? I tried to find out, but could not. Any helps?

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
Don't the albums show at all?
Are you signed in with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before? And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
And wait.
The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream.
So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website. Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads. This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream. Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

Tried that too over the weekend,I unchecked the Photos option in iCloud preferences in System, let iPhoto do it's thing, then restarted the Mac, and turned iCloud Photos back on again... it looked promising the first hour... but then stopped downloading 20 or so albums. I have over 80 shared albums created over the years.
Also, the albums it did download, sometimes they're not even complete nor in any particular order.
I did exactly what you did. It took two days, but slowly all shared streams came back.
If the photo streams do not reappear, try if removing the content of this folder will help: It contains the photos downloaded from the shared streams. Perhaps one photo is corrupted.
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/
Quit iPhoto
Move the folder above from your User Library to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Problems with iCloud shared photos

Hi all
Updated all ios devices to 7. All good it seemed - but tonight took some pics on my 4s and created a shared stream. The person I invited (also on iOS 7) has not had invite and it does not appear on my other devices.
Anyone else had anything similar?
Thanks!

Problems with iCloud shared photo album

I am subscribed to a shared photo album via iCloud. I had to restore my phone, and afterwards, my shared album was blank, no photos there.
It appears fine on my iPad; I can see all photos previously added.
I made sure that I have iCloud Photo Sharing on. I also had the owner of the album to delete and re-add me.

If the photos were synced to the iPod you have to unsync them or use a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to delete them.

ICloud Shared Photo Streams on Web only Public ?

When enabling the public Web Site option for a Photo Stream set, is the web site accessible to anyone with the link ?
Is there a way to restric access only to a subset of people ?

WARNING! Sharing a Photostream publicly on the web via iCloud will make the images viewable to anyone with the link. Apparently no access restriction is applied wen sharing on web.

ICloud shared photo stream stopped working for one subscriber

A shared photostream stopped working for one subscriber. Tried resending the invite several times but after the person clicks on the link, it says "stream no longer shared". Have tried alternate emails and no avail. Anyone else have this issue? I tried resending the invite to myself and to a phone number but also having the same issue. No issues uploading to the photostream or any issues for anyone else.

Reassigned email address in contacts from "home" to "iCloud" and that did the trick!

How to include photo descriptions in iCloud sharing?

When I share photos to iCloud, I find that the online album (stream) does not include any photo descriptions I have added in iPhoto (or any other "metadata" for that matter). As a workaround I have manually added a comment to each shared photo, with the text description being the description pasted from iPhoto, but that's a huge pain.
Has anyone found a better way to include photo descriptions in their iCloud shared photo streams?
I know iPhoto (I'm using version 9.5.1) does export this info, because if you export a photo and view its attributes in Finder, you'll see the metadata. It's pretty annoying because if you spend time adding custom titles, descriptions, tagging faces and places, it would be nice for some of this to be included in photos you're sharing with friends and family.
Thanks!

I'll close this thread by mentioning the more drastic workaround I'm going with: not using iCloud for sharing when I need a lot of descriptions and other metadata. I'm planning to export from iPhoto, including title and keywords, and then post on Google+, which seems to read the metadata from the JPGs.
If you are going to export from iPhoto anyway, you can send the photos using the Photo Stream as well. When you are sharing via PhotoStream, the Photo Stream will transfer the EXIF and IPTC tags embedded in the original file. Only, there are two problems with the embedded EXIF and IPTC tags:
The way you are seeing the photos in the PhotoStream album is misleading. The Info panel in the Photo Stream view simply is not showing the tags that are embedded in the photo. The only visible metadata are the filename. You will see the embedded metadata however in the Info panel, when you import the photo from the Photo Stream album to an event.
And the Photo Stream will not add cations and titles to the shared images, that are not yet part of the original image file and only part of the edited version. But any tags embedded in the original file will transfer.
As a simple work-around to share the titles and keywords, export the images and use the titles as filenames. Then reimport and send via Photo Stream.

Only One Photo in a Shared Photo Stream is Displayed

I have a persistent yet simple problem with iCloud Shared Photo Streams. Either when I am sent an invitation for a Shared Photo Stream or create one myself the Shared PS properly appears in the iPhoto Photo Stream window and when I hover over the icon the correct number of photos contained is shown. If I double-click to open the window ONLY one photo appears - always the first photo in the stream. I am never able to view the whole content of the stream on my iMac - although the streams appear correctly on my iPad, my iPhone, another iMac and on the machines of friends I send stream invites to. I have tried many things: quit iPhoto and restart, restart the machine, delete all iLife prefs in the Library, delete iLifeAssetManagement in Library>Application Support, change Libraries, started from a different User, updated iPhoto several times, a complete restore and reinstall of the OS, saying prayers to the iLife gods and crossing my fingers. None of this has helped. It seems clear to me that my problem is not with my iMac, nor with my OS, nor really with iPhoto itself - but involves the interaction of iPhoto library files with iCloud. Having said that, I have no idea how to proceed next. Any thought would be welcome.

Thanks for the thought, Larry - but I have turned off all iCloud on all devices and - oops, but wait. I've done that - but I haven't then rebooted them all. I'll try that tomorrow morning. In the meantime, here's one more small clue. When this first happens I get a crash file in ~Library/Preferences named com.apple.iLifeAssetManagdement.crash.plist. It's too cryptic for me but it says:

Trouble creating shared photo streams

A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
None of this seems to make any sense.
Thanks,
Lorraine

Aperture does not show tick box for shared photo stream as promised on the help screen

I try to configure Aperture for iCloud shared Photo Stream. According to the help screen, I should select Preferences and see a panel with 4 tickboxes. The first three relate to My Photostream and work fine on all my devices. The crucial fourth tick box for sharing with others however does not show however. What else should I set-up to see the 4th tick box ?

You need:
'A Mac with OS X v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later'
