Incorrect orientation when sharing to Photo Stream

I sometimes have photos with incorrect orientations that then need to be rotated. Easy enough. The problem is, when I export these photos to photo stream, they use their original incorrect orientation. Bummer!
Anyone else experiencing this? Any possible fixes? (without having to export a version and then reimport)
thanks

Just tried exporting to email and Flickr. Both are fine. Seems to be just a Photo Stream issue.

Contacts are not available when sharing a photo stream

I've updated my iPhone to iOS 6 and have noticed when I'm trying to share a photo stream, the bulk of my contacts are greyed out and not selectable. More notably, a lot of my contacts that have iOS 6 are greyed out. What's the criteria for it being eligible to share a photo stream?

No. I just tried and was able to address to non-iCloud users. Not sure why yours is grayed out. Try addressing it by just typing in the email address rather than tapping the plus sign to go into contacts.

Can't play video shared on Photo Stream

Hi, I'm having trouble playing a short (27-second) video shared on Photo Stream/iCloud. It shows up on my iPhone (OS7), but when I try to play it, it just spins and spins. I've downloaded the latest OS and version of iPhoto for my MacBook Air as well, and the video doesn't even show up there. I can only see photos from the shared Photo Stream, but not the video.
Thanks for your help!

Same issue here.
Share videos to photo stream an it doesn't play on any other device. It just sites there forever spinning around and around (left overnight).
Tested on iPad 2 and iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0 and 7.0.1 respectively.

Help much appreciated!

Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

Can someone explain me the difference between iCloud Photo Sharing, My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library?

This is very confusing. Can someone explain the difference between these 3 options in Photos app.
iCloud Photo Sharing, My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library.

Your iPhoto Library is located in your /Home/Pictures/ folder and contains all the photos you have put into iPhoto. iCloud Photo Library is the library of photos you have stored in iCloud.

Is it possible to change my name when I'm sharing a photo stream?

I would like to use my “artistic name” when sharing my artwork via a photo stream. Currently it reads shared by my name. Is there a way of altering that?

There is no settings in the iphone to do what you want.

How keep original order of photos in iPhoto album when transferring to Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this? Also, does anyone know how to keep the captions below photos when using Photo Stream?

Are you asking about "My Photo Stream" or a "Shared Photo Stream"?
"My Photo Stream" is only a temporary buffer, not meant for long term storage. You have no control over the order of the photos in the stream. Mostly they will be ordered by the date.
"Shared Photo Streams" will be ordered in the same order as add the photos. SO you can control the sequence by adding the photos one by one.
The captions will not be transferred, only the file names.

Shared iCloud Photo Streams - "read only" ?

I am looking for a setting in iPhoto or iCloud so that the people that I have invited only have the right to view my shared album but not to add or delete photos.
This kind of setting is possible with the shared calendars and it would be in my opinion useful for the shared photo stream as well. Is there a setting that I missed? Am I the only one looking for this feature?

You set that option in each shared photo stream individually, when you create the Shared Photo Stream.
You cannot change it for existing streams - only delete the stream and recreate it without the option "Subscribers can post". The screenshot is for Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto on the Mac, but the corresponding Shared Albums created on iOS devices have a similar option, when you create them.

Photos loose sequence when moved to photo stream

Seems to me I've seen this one before, but can't find it. I finally got my photo sequence correct and modified version name to reflect the sequence. Now when I create a shared photo stream, the photos seem to loose that sequence. Did I miss something?

Did I miss something?
The Shared Photo Stream is supposed to show the photos in the order that you add them to the stream - the newesst photos at the end of the stream. But that will not work, if you add all photos at once. I find, I get he best results by adding the photos one by one, and letting each photo upload, before I add the next one.

HT4858 How do I limit a photo from being shared on photo stream (using as screen saver on Apple TV, but don't want family photos shared in presentation)

I am attempting to use my Apple TV and Ipad for a public presentation and want to show business pictures on the screen saver, but I don't want personal family pictures shown. Is there a way to limit these photos or set up an album for the screen saver on the presentation?

Put the photos that you wish to use for your presentation or screensaver into a photo stream shared album and then choose that album as your screensaver in your screensaver settings.

IPhoto Description Data sharing via Photo Stream

I have a lot of photos in iPhoto on one MACbook with descrition and location info manually added. When I share these photos via Photo Stream to another MACbook, all the description and location data is not passed across. How can I share the photos via Photo Stream with the attached descrition and location data?

You can't. If you want the titles you've added to the photos to be displayed instead of the acutual filie name you'll need to do the following;
1 - export to the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option File Name: Title.
2 - import the renamed photos back into iPhoto and use them in the Photo Stream.

How to prevent iPhoto to make an automatic event when importing from Photo stream

Hi everyone,
My question is related to the Photo stream functionality in iPhoto.
Is possible to prevent iPhoto from making an automatic event when I import a photo from Photo stream. It is really annoying because of the fact that I use "events" for keeping my important photo's together (as many of you do I asume). Ofcourse after importing I can just delete it from my event section but is there a way to prevent it?
Thanks.

No. Photostream creates an Event for each month.
iPhoto has many other tools for managing and categorising your Photos.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

HT201077 Can't play videos shared over photo stream from my brother. Please help!

I used to be able to play videos which were streamed by my brother and now I cannot view them, they just are continually loading. How can this issue be solved?

Hello Puddinchops,
It sounds like you are not able to view shared videos from your brothers Shared Photo Stream. I recommend starting by closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
Then reset your network settings and test the issue again:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
