Iphoto, Icloud, photo stream

I was trying to use the icloud's photo stream, but in my iphoto, the photo stream won't show up. My Mac device is 10.7.5, and the iphoto is 9.4. I don't know what is wrong with my device, but I can't see the thing saying 'photo stream' in the left column. One of my relative can find it, but I can't. How should I solve this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you have photo stream enabled in:
system preferences > iCloud.
iPhoto > preferences > photo stream.

How do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream

ow do I create a slide show in iPhoto from an iCloud photo stream?

Do you mean from a Shared Stream or My Photo Stream?
In iPhoto on your iPhone, iPad you create slideshow projects by selecting photos and then sharing them as a new slideshow. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
You can publish your slideshow in iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333
In iPhoto on your Mac you can make an instant slideshow by selecting the photos in the photo stream and pressing the slideshow button, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333

HT201317 In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on. I Have latest iPhoto ?

In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on. I Have latest iPhoto ? Yet it tells me I need to update iPhoto or Aperture. How do I turn photo Stream on,? The FAQ were no help

On the mac, be sure that either iphoto or Aperture is the latest version.

HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

(How) can I add a photo from Finder to an iCloud photo stream?

I'm a new Mac user and a little confused. From a Windows PC it is very simple to add a photo to an iCloud photo stream, taken that you have the iCloud plug-in installed. Just right-click a photo and select "Add to photo stream...". On my iMac, on the other hand, I have not yet figured out how or if it's even possible at all.
I'm sure you know, please tell me and you will make my day :-)

Drag the photo onto the iPhoto icon to import it, then drag it to the iCloud heading in the sidebar.

ICloud photo stream problem

Hi all - I really need your help.
My iPhoto '11 was working just fine until I upgraded it to 9.4.3. I also just installed the recent system upgrade. Now I am having multiple problems. It seems to stem from Photo Stream. Activity Monitor shows that Photo Stream is using up gobs of CPU which is strange since it is supposed to not be working...
In iPhoto, under the preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is not enabled. If I check the box to turn it on, it just unchecks itself just as quickly. But in the system preferences, it shows that Photo Stream is set up just fine. Photo Stream is certainly not working. And it seem to be totally screwing up iPhoto. I have tried multiple iPhoto fix options (option alt fixes, restoring a backup library, uninstalling then reinstalling iPhoto) with no improvement.
I'm not sure if the problem is coming from iPhoto or iCloud Photo Stream problems. I am running OSX 10.8.4 on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Thank you so much!

Well Old Toad, I am stumped.
I double checked and logged out of iCloud in both user accounts and made sure that PS was not enabled on either library. Then I restarted the computer. I went back to my main user account (second account set up = non administrator account) and to my main iPhoto library, logged into iCloud, tried turing on PS = did not work.
If I do the exact same thing as above for a restore of a backup of my library = does not work.
If I do the exact same thing above but log in with my first account (not my main one but it is the admin account on the computer) and access the test library I created = PS works just fine with no problem.
It seems the problem with PS is limited to my primanry account (non-admin). Do you think the admin privaledges difference between the two accounts could be the problem...?
As always, I am thankful for your time and advice.

HT4906 As I set up my iCloud, Photo Stream which is faded cannot be chosen

As I setup my iCloud, Photo Stream is faded. I cannot choose the Photo Stream.Why is that?

This is the iPhoto forum. Since you have a PC you should post your question in the iCloud on my PC: iCloud: Apple Support Communities forum.

Photostream keeps your photos for download to other devices for 30 days, once they are gone, you can find them on other devices that you have enabled photostream to work with. So if you have Computer, and use photostream - they are in photostream folder in pictures or iphoto. If you didn't use computer, they are gone.

All photos in icloud photo stream not saved in local mac library

Basically, I have a shared icloud photo stream that is 1003 pictures, if I select all of them and say show in library, it only highlights 992 pictures on my local drive. Is there any way I can reimport a photostream?

Hello asbreck,
You can use these steps to reimport photos from a Shared Photo Stream.
To save photos from shared photo streams you subscribe to:
Photos in shared photo streams are view-only. However, you can import the photos into your iPhoto library, apply edits, share the updated photos, and add them to your slideshows and books.
In the Source list, select Photo Stream.
Double-click the shared stream containing the photos you want to save.
Select the photos.
Import the photos into your library by dragging them to Events in the Source list.
iPhoto '11: Subscribe to shared photo streams
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11959
It's important to note that if some of these pictures are already in your library and you reimport them, you will have a duplicate of the picture. If you can isolate the 11 pictures that are not in your library, I recommend importing just those 11 photos.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Deleted Photos in iCloud photo stream still

Photos that have been permanently deleted from iPad and iPhone are still appearing in iCloud photo stream on iPhoto. Aren't the devices supposed to sync with each other?

Now delete them from the Cloud...

Update iCloud photo stream

I am subscribed to my friends iCloud photo stream, but iPhoto refuses to update the stream when my friend add more pictures. Can I update the stream manually or how do I do? Have tried to unsubscribe and then subscribe again but it only showed her old pictures...

You can't manually update it. You might try going to iCloud>Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Photo Sharing, close iPhoto and restart your Mac, then go back and check Photo Sharing again. That might "jump start" things again.

TS3989 iCloud, Photo Stream

I've tried all your suggestions here and my Photo Stream still doesn't work. I'm using iPhoto 11, I'v updated all my devices to the latest software versions on all my devices and it still doesn't work. I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet and I recently purchased an iPhone 5. What is the problem?

Well ... I can't get Photo Stream to turn on with iPhoto on my Mac.
From the various instructions from Markwmsn immediately above, I have, or have done the first six points:
* Device(s) on iOS5.1 or later
* Mac(s) on 10.7.3 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or later (10.8.2 and 9.4 for Shared Photo Streams).
* All device(s) and Mac(s) are signed in to the same iCloud account.
* On the iOS device(s), Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream is "On" (and Shared Photo Streams if desired)
* On the iOS device(s), Settings > Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream is "ON" (and Shared if desired)
* On the Mac(s), System Preferences > iCloud > Photo Stream is active
But when I try to do the next step ...
* On the Mac(s), iPhoto > Preferences > Photo Stream > Enable Photo Stream is checked.
... when I try to check the box for "Enable Photo Stream", I get an error message:
"Sign in to Photo Stream using iCloud. In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. Cancel / Continue."
BUT in the System Preferences, I AM ALREADY SIGNED INTO my iCloud account, and indeed it is working fine for all the other features (Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc.)

Space. Moving from iPhoto to photo stream...

I am trying to free up room on my iPhone on my iMac. I am creating new photo streams, for example "January 2014-June 2014" and moving all iPhoto pictures to the new stream. My plan is to then delete them off iPhoto, freeing up space. Is this a good solution?? Will those photos remain in my new iCloud photo stream I have created until I delete them off?? I'm able to view them on my iMac and my iPhone under photo streams, I am just nervous to delete from my iPhoto until I have confirmation that this plan is good and will work!!

FYI...New changes are coming.
Apple retires Aperture and iPhoto, to be replaced with Photos for OS X
