If I put pictures on my IMac. Can photo stream send them to my other devices.

If I put pictures on my iMac can photo stream send them to my other devices?

Of course. However, note that you need iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 on your iMac, and that the other devices must be an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iCloud, another Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 and OS X 10.7.2 or later, or a PC with iCloud Control Panel.
The first thing you have to do is to upload your photos to Photo Stream, but first you need to enable Photo Stream > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2710
Then, to add photos to Photo Stream, open iPhoto and drag the photos you want to "iCloud" or "Photo Stream" in the iPhoto or Aperture sidebar. This will make that your photos appear on other devices, so just go to them and copy them to the internal memory, because Photo Stream deletes your photos after 30 days. If you have got an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can find your photos in the Photos application, and in a PC, you can find them in My Pictures folder.

  • How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

    My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

    To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream).  To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your mom's phone wont be effected by this.  Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.)  Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

  • Why are my pictures not showing up in Photo Stream?

    Ok, I have set up upgraded everything to the correct versions.  I have set up and enabled Photo Stream on my iMac and on my iPhone.  I have enabled Photo Stream on the iPhone.  I have set up my iCloud services.  I can drag pictures to the Photo Stream app, but when I take pictures they do not appear in Photo Stream.  What am I doing wrong?

    I found the problem.  AS it turns out, when I created my iCloud account I eneded up creating a NEW ID.  The process is a little bit confusing and it is apparently easy to get one ID on the iCloud on your iMac and another on your iPhone.  This is what I had done.  It was a simple matter of signing out of iCloud on the Mac and then signing back in wiht my original Apple ID (the one on the iPhone) once I signed backin, pictures starte appearing in the Photo Stream.  Easypeasy!

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • When I download PDFs on my macbook I am given the option of saving them to iCloud and in Preview they are listed under iCloud. How can I then view them on my iOS devices? Help please.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't share preview files to an iOS device. There are several other options for pdf's such as Adobe Reader or iBooks.

  • Can Photo Stream be a sort of a backup?

    Can iCloud's Photo Stream feature serve as a sort of backup of the photos I take on my iPhone?
    For example, I take 50 photos on my iPhone and they get uploaded to Photo Stream. Then within 30 days I turn my PC on and they get downloaded to the PC. Will they stay on my PC forever?
    In other words, can Photo Stream kind of replace iCloud's Camera Roll backup for photos? Thanks.

    Yes you could do that, but if ever you forget or something stops you, you may well lose some photos. Personally I'd keep the back up running.

  • My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in camera roll and photo stream come back?

    My phone recently fell In water and won't turn on I had my ICloud on.Will my pictures in came roll and photo stream come back?

    Photos in the camera roll are included in your backup and should be recovered by restoring the backup to a replacement phone.  Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you reconnect to photo stream you will get back any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.

  • HT201272 I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    Title says it all...
    I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

  • I accidentally deleted photos from my photo stream, causing them to disappear from my camera roll aswell. I am desperate to get these photos back. Is there any way I can recover them? Thanks

    Hi Am1121,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have a backup of your iPhone on either iCloud or iTunes from the time when those photos were on the Camera Roll, you can restore from that backup and recover those photos. Please use the following article for information on restoring from backups.

  • Why can't anybody get the photos I send them from my Iphone 4s? I've sent it to blackberries, iPhone 3G, and other phones - nothing has been able to get them!

    Why can't anybody get the photos I send them from my Iphone 4s? I've sent it to blackberries, iPhone 3G, and other phones - nothing has been able to get them!

    Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send?  Do you have a data plan on your account?  Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

  • HT4858 with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    To my knowledge, pictures in photo stream stay there untill there is more than 1000 of them, then after that the oldest ones are removed from photo stream.  If your photos have synced to your devices via photo stream or manual syncing they will be there until you elect to delete them.

  • HT201317 how do i look at my pictures that are in my photo stream after i log in on my icloud account?

    how do i look at my pictures that are in my photo stream after i log in on my icloud account?

    By syncing them from your iphoto using that article
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes - Apple - Support
    Or if last 30 days of pictures is enough for you, you just need to sign in to your icloud on the phone and turn photostream "ON".

  • Imessage won't send texts/pictures, but can receive if send them to myself

    I can't find the answer to this:
    I have imessage on my iphone4s, but i can't send pictures to other imessage users. If I send them as SMS/MMS to another user, through the carrier, it works fine. I have tried sending the pictures to myself through imessage and I can receive them well.
    What I have tired:
    Having my brothers iphone next to me and making sure imessage works (blue text), he won't receive some of my texts and pictures.
    Turned off imessage and sent text (SMS) to my brother's iphone, he will recieve the message.
    Disabled Imessage and restarted my phone, reinabled imessage, tried again NO LUCK
    I sent text to myself on imessage, can receive and send, sent picture to myself on imessage, can send and recieve.
    sent picture to myself from my brothers iphone using imessage, can receive.
    My thoughts, seems like something got corrupted? Might have to restore my phone but wanted to see if anyone has had any better solutions.

    I have the exact same issue! I have tried compeltely restoring my iphone, turning off and on imessage different itunes accounts etc etc NOTHING will work. I am on the latest 5.1 and no luck whatsoever! Any help would be aprreciated thanks.
