IPhoto Sharing via Streaming Issues

3300 Iphotos in total
Sharing/streaming done from MacMini.
Lasted software releases.
Sharing via streaming stops associating the photo with the stream. When you click on the photo with the info window it shows that photo to be associated with a sharing stream. When you click on the streaming link it goes to  that stream but the picture is not present.
I have not hit the apple limits posted, however did not find one that says the limit on the number of streams, I have 24.
I have deleted the sharing stream, rebuilt/repaired the data base with the option/command dbl click and still same problem. Waited an hour. Turned off sharing on associated device. These are not shared with the public and only with my own email so no one else involved. 
This happened yesterday at about the same place in the photo process.  So I turned off and on sharing which deleted all my streams and started again this morning only for it to start again.

I'm waiting till the new Photos application for Macs and iPhones is released with the release of Yosemite next month.  That will change the game quite a bit.
Photos will come next year - a bit after the Yosemite release; http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/  says:  "Photos in OS X is coming early next year."
I don't know if the fact that the Camera Roll is no longer in the Photos app on the iPhone is by plan or a glitch in the installation.
At first I thought both were still there, because my migrated iPhoto library is still showing "Camera Roll" and "Photo Stream". But that are the remnants of a nice app.
The new "Recently Added" album looks like the successor to both Camera Roll and Photo Stream. I think the Camera Roll Album is gone.The manual does not mention it once.  And the missing "My Photo Steam" must be a glitch. The manual says: 
"All photos added to your Recently Added album—including screenshots and photos saved from email, for example—appear in My Photo Stream." How can photos appear in the My Photo Stream, if it is not visible?

  • Iphoto / Sharing via Email issues with 10.10.2

    Hope some one knows the answer ... I have had so many problems with iPhoto since covering across to Yosemite.  This is the latest. 
    I am trying to share photos through iPhoto using e-mail.  This has only just stopped working 36 hours ago.  I have checked the e-mail server for incoming and outgoing issues by sending an e-mail and attaching a photo the usual way - no problem.  When I try to do this through the SHARE option in iPhoto I get the following error message.   Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?  I am on the latest version of iPhoto 9.6.1.  Thanks for any insight / help.

    If recreating the account does not help, the reason may be two-step verification. Did you recently enable two-step verification for iCloud?
    Are you sending from your iCloud Mail address?
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.

    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • HT4858 Aperture / iPhoto shared photo streams

    But when I try to upload say 1500 photos to shared photostream from aperture, it just gives an error saying 1000 is max.  It doesn't upload any at all. I got the impression from this article that it would upload the first 1000 and then continue uploading as allowed but in fact it gives the error and does not upload anything.
    Trying it in iPhoto it claims I have some files that are not jpeg, raw or png.  I tried smart albums but iPhoto 11 doesn't appear to have a way to filter file types.
    All of this to try to make my Apple TV 3 5.1.1 screensaver show more than 200 of my 45000 photos.

    Yes that may be true but it is not relevant to my stated goal.   I am acutely aware of the limitations Apple TV has on HomeShare - it seems to limit to about 200 pictures regardless of how many you share.  I understand it has hard disk limitations but it should in fact be able to stream them over the network.  It doesn't and I think that is a bug not a feature request.
    However in using regular Photo Stream the ATV3 does seem to stream or at least cycle through all 1000 photos.
    The shared photo stream seemed like a workaround, since I have over 45,000 photos, and my simple goal is to have them randomly displayed on my tv.   I don't need all 45000 to be there simultaneously or cumulatively: 1000 per day even is more than enough, and pushing those out of the queue for the next 1000 would be no problem in fact helpful.
    It's just that the article seems to indicate that once reaching a limit iPhoto or Aperture will resume uploading once the time limit has passed.  That does not seem to be the case and so now it seems the workaround will have to involve a script perhaps though I don't know if there is a feature like that in either of the programs.
    And I appreciate the reply Winston, but I would appreciate solutions rather than roadblocks from your expertise. Thanks.

  • HT4906 why doesn't iPhoto shared photo stream update

    I have created a shared phot stream on my IOS devices and they update ok.
    I have invited others and they are allowed to post.
    I can see all posted photo's on all IOS devices.
    I cannot see any phot's posted by oyhers on my Mac in iPhoto.
    iPhoto updates fine when I post from an IOS device but does not when someone else posts.
    Ny ideas how I can see all shared photo's in iPhoto on my Mac the same as all the IOS subscribers

    Are your IOS devices on IOS 7? And have your shared streams been created on IOS 7?
    iPhoto '11 on Mt. Lion is not yet fully compatible with the new Shared Photo Streams format on IOS 7 devices. It does not yet allow two-way sharing of streams. The photos that others add to your shared photo streams are not visible in iPhoto '11. You will have to wait for an iPhoto '11 update, that will bring the full compatibility with the new Photo Steam formats and probably will come with the next MacOS X release Mavericks.

  • IPhoto sharing via Flickr

    I just noticed the new iPhoto is uploading original sizes of my photos to my Flickr account eventhough I chose the "Web" size option. Not only is it doing that for the recent photos I uploaded, since its synced with my Flickr account, it went back to all the photos I have shared and added the original size!! The previous version of iPhoto allowed me to retroactively change the photo size option by just selecting the shared album and then going to share. That option is not there anymore!
    I do not want the original size of my photos out there! Is there anyway I can change the share size to "Web" now?

    I'm waiting till the new Photos application for Macs and iPhones is released with the release of Yosemite next month.  That will change the game quite a bit.

  • Iphoto ( sharing via email )

  • IPhoto sharing via messages not working

    I always use to be able to share my photos in iPhoto by clicking share at the bottom to then send via messages, however this option is no longer available. Does anyone know why?

    Yes there's Flickr, Facebook and iCloud however I always use to use Messages so I could share the photos directly to others' phones - it's this option/icon that has disappeared entirely. I don't know exactly when but it may have been post-Yosemite's installation.

  • Aperture and Shared Photo Stream Issue

    Just upgraded to Aperture 3.4
    Selected a few photos from my library
    Created a shared photostream
    checked the box to create a public website
    the site gets created and the URL is visible in that Photo Stream's settings
    Safari says that "iCloud can't find that page"
    Anyone else having the same problem?
    This worked for me yesterday and doesn't today.

    Precisely,
    I also, as you did, created photostream and it all worked fine.
    As soon as I deleted it and tried to create one again, I ended up with the error.
    Sounds like a bug...
    Frank Caggiano wrote:
    Well it definitely worked the first time I turned PhotoStream on (had never used it before). Created a public stream added images to it and I could get to it.
    I then deleted the shared stream created a new one added images and when I tried to view them I got the message you got.
    I when back to Aperture preferences turned off PhotoStream entirely, turned it back on and tried again, still no luck.
    So this appears be another bump in the recent flood of updates that fell through. Hopefully they'll have it fixed soon.

  • AppleTV 2nd gen, iPhoto sharing, wireless

    I see if I purchase an Apple TV 2nd generation, I can show iPhoto pictures on my LCD TV wirelessly that are on my Macbook Pro and use my iPad as a remote control to switch between pictures that will appear on the TV.
    But what if I have iPhoto pictures on my Intel Mac Pro with no wireless card, can I set it's iPhoto preferences to share the iPhoto library, then use my Macbook laptop to subscribe to the Mac Pro's iPhoto library, and then have the AppleTV and my iPad show the pictures on my LCD monitor and use the iPad to control what pictures are shown wirelessly?
    Thanks

    I think I found the answer to my question. I can stream photos from my iPad to the Apple TV and I dno't need to mess with iPhoto sharing via another Mac on the wireless network.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

  • Shared Photo Streams not appearing in iPhoto.

    I have a few Photo Streams that were recently shared with me. I can access them fine on my iPhone. When I am on my MacBook Air however, these Photo Stream folders are no where to be found.
    I followed this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989 and more specifically double checked these instructions:
    I don't see any photos or shared photo streams in the Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Check the following:
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud, and make sure the Photo Stream checkbox is enabled.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, choose Preferences > Photo Stream.
    If you are using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that both the My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams checkboxes are selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
    If you are using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import are selected.
                   Make sure your Mac has an an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
    Everything was set up as suggested above.
    My Macbook is on iPhoto 9.2.3, with OS 10.7.5
    My iPhone is on 6.1.3
    Additionally, when i view photos from a shared photo stream folder on my phone and then select to save one of the photos to my Camera roll, the photo is still not syncing to my Photo stream on the Mac.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Larry,
    Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd...  I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums.  Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both.  The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other!  I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account.  Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine.  Any thoughts??  Thanks!
    Hardware/Software Specs:
    MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
    Aperture 3.5.1
    iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
    Note:  I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that.  Figured it's worth a shot!!

  • Shared photo streams no longer updating in iPhoto since Yosemite upgrade

    I just noticed that new photos are not being downloaded to the shared photo streams in iPhoto on my iMac.  I am getting all new photos in my iPhone and iPad... just not on the iMac.
    Anyone encountered this or have any solutions?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Streams.
    If the above doesn't work this method posted by user  Willis I Am might do the job for you:

    I do not know if anyone ever runs into this issue anymore, but the Apple Engineers helped me fix this recently.
    They had me do the following:
    Turn off Photo Stream in your user account: (second screenshot above)
    Quit iPhoto
    Goto System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Photo Stream.l (first screenshot above)
    Close System Preferences
    Then deleting the entire ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/ directory.
    Open Terminal and type in cd Library
    then type open . (open space period)
    navigate to Application Support and delete the iLifeAssetManagement folder.
    quit terminal
    Then turn photo stream back on in their photo library.
    open iPhoto and click on Photo stream in the left column.
    enable photo stream.
    It will take some time to download the cached photos but this resolved my problem of having 0 display and no photos in the "My Photo Stream" area when any of my other devices showed new photo stream photos without any problems.

  • Shared photo stream from others not showing my own posted photos in iPhoto

    Hi community,
    I'm facing a problem I'm not sure if it might have been answered somewhere before but if so I cannot find it..
    My wife opened a shared photo stream with her iPhone and invited me to it. Since then, we both post new pictures to it and it syncs perfectly (at least it seems like) on our iOS devices, her iPhone, my iPhone and iPad. We're running iOS 7 on all devices.
    The problem is that I cannot see any of my pictures in that stream on my MacBook in iPhoto 9.4.3. In streams I created it works fine and it's a comfortable way to get photos from iPhone to Mac without having to connect with a cable. But the mentioned stream my wife created contains only her pictures in iPhoto. I'm running Mountain Lion. (Since Mavericks doesn't seem to bring any new features I need and usually new OS X versions seem to slow down the computer I don't want to update.)
    Does anybody know how to fix?
    Thanks in advance
    Rob

    general info is here - http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/photo-stream/
    I'm totally clear on what your issues is - but I believe that the feature that Mavericks has that yu are missing is full support for shared photo streams
    What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
    Apple TV (second generation) with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
    If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you can use any up-to-date browser to see photos and videos added by the owner and all contributors.
    And I found that Macvericks is much faster - the 64 bit software seems to be a big improvement

  • Shared photo stream quality issue

    Shared photo stream FAQ states that:
    "Shared Photo Streams supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide."
    Since I'm a little OCD about photo organization, I collect and organize all the photos my girlfriend and I take. She shares all of her picture from her iPhone 5s on a shared photo stream and I import them to iPhoto on my MBP. However, I have just realized to my great surprise that all her picture were downgraded in 2048 x 1536, even though I have downloaded them to my Mac. Anyone has the same issue or has any idea what is going on? The FAQ clearly said that they would be downloaded in full definition, but they aren't, which is really annoying as we often do large books for which the higher resolution is necessary, not to mention my retina display screen and 4K monitor.
    the FAQ

    You should double check your and your daughter's icloud ID as currently set, because what you describe happens when two people share the same icloud account  (and I assume you are talking about a "photo stream" and not a "shared photo stream").
    Settings>icloud, be sure the accounts are different.

  • IPhoto Stalls While Uploading Photos To Shared Photo Stream

    Hi,
    I'm running OSX Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.
    I created a new Event in iPhoto and imported my photos.
    I selected all images (71 off) and clicked Share -> iCloud.
    I created a new shared Photo Stream and invited subscribers.
    Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only six photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
    To try to fix the issue,
    I left it overnight.
    I restarted iPhoto.
    I restarted iMac.
    I either removed the photos from the Photo Stream or deleted the Photo Stream itself—can't remember which.
    Depending on which action I took in the previous point, I either selected all the photos in the Event again and shared them to the same Photo Stream or I created another, new Photo Stream and shared all the photos to it.
    Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only 15 photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
    Any idea how to get the remaining photos to upload to the shared Photo Stream.
    Thanks,
    Ken.

    Hi,
    Okay, I did some searching here on the forums and found this post by Old Toad.
    I followed his instructions and it fixed my issue.
    Old Toad recommended:
    Disabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
    Disabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
    Reboot machine.
    Re-enabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
    Re-enabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
    In addition, I did the following in iPhoto,
    Deleted the 15 photos in the shared Photo Stream.
    Selected all the photos in the Event and shared them to the existing shared Photo Stream, i.e. I didn't re-create a new Photo Stream at this stage.
    All photos uploaded successfully to the stream in approximately 10-15 minutes.  Issue solved.
    Hope this helps anyone with the same or a similar issue.
    Regards,
    Ken.
