Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

TS4108 how do I transfer photos in photo stream to a different file in iPhoto to clear up space in iCloud?

Hw do I transfer photos from photo stream to a different file in iphoto so I can clear up space in icloud?

Photo stream photos don't use your personal iCloud account storage so deleting or moving them will not free up any space in your account.
That said, if you still want to move them from photo stream in iPhoto, import them to your library by control-clicking on the photo and choosing Import. You can set iPhoto to automatically import photo stream photos to your library by going to iPhoto>Preferneces>iCloud and checking Automatic Import:

Can I disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?

Hi,
I just purchased a mobile router with a data limit 50MB/day for my old iPhone 4.
This iPhone 4 only connects to WIFI network.
I like photo stream and want to keep using it with my unlimited family WIFI network, but, the problem is when I connect it to my mobile route through WIFI, the photo stream won't stop working. That cause my 50M/day plan runs out in a minute.
So, is there a way to disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?
I tried iPhone Configuration Utility and it seems not have a function like that.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.

HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices. To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll). To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import. You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you only want to delete them go ahead. Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100). Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

Photostream is not a substitute for importing your photos to your computer.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them."
ow many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album.

Photo Stream only Uploading Some Photos

Has anyone else noticed this? If I take a picture on my iPhone 5, sometimes it shows in my camera roll and in Photo Stream. Sometimes, it only shows in my camera roll. Likewise, the Photo Stream library on my iPad 4 isn't picking up the new photos from my iPhone 5. The problem seems a little intermittent. Some photo upload fine, but I've had several that don't for some reason.
Any ideas?

Hi shorty47116,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with My Photo Stream not uploading your photos correctly or completely, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Photo Stream only working properly on iOS devices (especially delete function)?

Hello,
I was planning on making my life a bit easier using photostream. But as soon as I started using this and testing it's behavior I ran into a lot of issues which make it more complex instead of easier I believe (when deleting photos). So here are some questions/issues I ran into, I hope a solution exists so I can start using photostream (instead of always connecting my iPhone to iTunes in order to sync my photos. I'm currently using my Windows 7 PC (and I was unable to test it on my macbook pro, as is currently being repaired). I have photostream enabled in the iPhone settings an on my iCloud panel on Windows.
1. When I want to remove a photo from the photo stream on my iPhone it is deleted (in the photostream tab) it's being deleted on the photostream (on my iphone and on my pc), but not on my camera-roll of my iPhone with which the photo was taken.
2. When I remove the photo on my camera-roll it is not deleted from my photostream. So I would be guessing that at least in this case or the previous case (1.) the photo should be deleted everywhere (or at least I should have somwhere in the settings an option to enable this behaviour, but I can not find this back in the settings on the iphone?). Remember I'm trying to make my life easier, not having the double amount of work to have an image deleted I don't want.
3. When I'm deleting a photo on the photostream on my pc, it is never deleted in the photostream on my iPhone (waited more then an hour to make sure the sync was done, with full battery and wifi enabled). Again trying to make it easier, so why should I deleted it once on my pc in the photostream and once on my iphone in the photostream (it's again the same image), and in the opposite way it is working though? Or could this be related to: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23925307 ?
4. When I log in on the iCloud website, I can't find back my photos anywhere to see which ones are still really in the photostream.
I hope some or maybe all of this issues can be fixed with adapting some settings or something, so I can start using the photostream in a way it is useful and it's making any sense to me. As I said in the beginning I only have tested this on my iPhone/PC. When I have my macbook back, I will test it with it too, but honestly I'm a bit afraid to add another device to the stream, as things might behave even more weird.
Thanks.

Im having a similar problem. Photo Stream works on my Mac and iPhone, but not on my iPad 2. Strangely, if I take. Photo with my iPad, it shows up in the Photo Stream of the other two devices.
I tried to reset network settings, but did not work. Even tried to reboot.
Another strange observation is that the feature actually did work temporarily and I saw my photo stream, but it disappeared without me changing any settings. Perhaps that will be fixed in an update.
