Max number of photos in "shared photostream"?

What is the maximum number of photos that can be shared in the new "shared photostream" in iOS 6? 

I just came again across the Photo Stream FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
How many photos can be stored in Shared Photo Streams on my devices and computers?
Unlike My Photo Stream, shared photo streams are not rolling collections. Any new photos that you add to a shared photo stream do not replace your older photos. A shared photo stream can hold a maximum of 1,000 photos. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos before adding new ones.
I wonder if the pictures in the Shared Photo Stream count against your "regular" Photo Stream?
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
It really would help if the information about "Shared Photo Streams" were to be found in the "Shared PhotoStream" documents and not only in the gereral "My Photo Stream" articles.

  • Copying photos from Shared Photostream onto my PC

    Hiya,
    How do I copy a photo from a shared photostream to which I am subscribed onto my PC?  Dragging and dropping doesn't work.. and neither does using the contextual menu.  My PC is running Windows 7x64.
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem.  My wife sent me a shared photostream from her iPhone 5 to my PC using iCloud Control Panel so I can have access to her pictures.  All the pictures are there in the photostream on my PC, but I can't copy them - no drag & drop, no CTRL+C, no right click.  The only way I've been able to get them so far is to have her share them with a webpage on icloud.com.  If I open the webpage, I can copy the images off the site.
    Crappy way of doing it, but so far that's all I've got.  Anyone have a better solution?
    Thanks.

  • HT201317 Using icloud to back up photos and shared photostream, why not updating?

    I've been manually backing up my camera roll on my windows 7 pc the old fashioned way (copying files through windows explorer) for some time, and have my pc as a whole backed up on a cloud product.
    I have this week however learned about icloud and the ability to back up the shared streams I'm subscribed to. I therefore installed icloud control panel and watched my family's streams appear in My Pictures.
    However, one shared stream did not transfer completely - there are 18 of my mum's pictures missing - and My Photo Stream has only transferred 70.
    Know there's a 30 day limit so given that is the first backup, it may not back up all 1000 as the earlier ones are older than 30 days, but the selection making up to 70 aren't the most recent as showing on my iPhone, so its no that. I took a whole lot together last weekend, one is on there but not the rest (for example).
    I can back up manually to get a complete set of my own photos but think I must be doing something wrong if it's missing some.
    I did go out after backing up first time, did I interrupt it , which is why there are only 70?  How do I restart it? - given that it didn't finish first backup.
    Also, I got home tonight, and the ones I've taken today have not transferred over.
    Is there something I'm supposed to do to trigger a backup? ( both to finish first back up, and to backup new ones too)
    Given that I'm using icloud more as a way of getting my photos and shared streams onto my pc, rather than backing up in icloud (as I have my own cloud too), what settings should I have on my iPhone, and what settings on iTunes?
    At the moment on iPhone In settings/icloud/storage & backup, I have icloud backup turned on.
    In iTunes, on the summary page for my iPhone (when plugged in) under Backups, I have 'iCloud' option ticked. Rather than 'this computer', when I change to 'this computer', the icloud setting on my iPhone gets turned to 'off'. I did hit the 'back up now' under 'manually back up and restore' in case that triggered it, and its showing a back up date and time of last night when I did this - but My Photo Stream is still at 70 - not complete transfer, or new ones - and mum's 18 still missing.
    Same page in iTunes, under 'Option' I have both 'sync over wifi' and 'manually manage music and videos' checked.
    I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple, any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Right, they're slowly reappearing. And My Photo Stream is updating this time too.
    So, is it signing in and out that did this? Is this what's supposed to happen?
    I should have said, I was looking for a way to back shared streams as we all have each others streams on our iOS devices and its filling up our storage, so we want to start deleting from the beginning, but not til we've backed up.
    However, if icloud works by constantly removing and rebacking up from what is on the device then, then this isn't the right solution for us, as it would remove the complete stream and back up a smaller stream after we've started deleting...
    Did i do something wrong here, was this supposed to happen?
    What should I have done?
    How do I stop this happening again?? I'm clearly not using icloud control properly!

  • Max Number of Photos

    Does anyone know if Aperature has a maximum photo capacity? I have nearly 18,000 photos in iPhoto. When I try to import into iPhoto, it crashes (perhaps because I am near its capacity). I am averse to using iPhoto Library Manager to manage my ever-growing library. Thus, I am interested in Aperature on a non-professional level. Is Aperature overkill if I simply want to use it to handle a large amount of photos and to organize them (not using RAW files nor editing very much)? Thanks for your advice.
    Quad-Core PMG5, 2 GB RAM, 1 TB Disk     23"

    ya know... you can drag and drop your iphoto albums into aperture - since i have about 6k images in iphoto, and importing them, i am told takes a lot of time and is redunant anyhow- i just pick the albums that i want and DRAG them into aperture. easy and no crashes. for huge volumes of images - i use iView which has 30k images in it so far and smokes. maybe aperature, some day, will build enought confidence to replace iphoto and iview.

  • Since updating to iOS7 I cannot upload my photos to a shared photostream

    working with Mountain Lion and iPhoto: after updating my iPhone to iOS7 suddenly the upload of photos to shared photostreams does not work any longer. I tried all the ways through iPhone, iPad and MBP, but alas to no result: cannot upload photos any longer. Anyone has any suggestions how to solve this?

  • Help in sharing a large number of photos?

    I am looking for a reasonably quick way of sharing a large number of photos with other members of my church as well as on other occasions family and friends.
    The photos are all loaded onto my iPad at their original resolution and are high quality .jpegs taken with a Nikon DSLR (D7000).
    I would prefer to use something "cloud" based rather than a commercial enterprise if possible but don't know how to do it.
    Can someone give me some suggestions?  I am a long time PC user and am pretty adept at Windows but a stymied by the Apple system, particularly my inability, seemingly to really delete individual photos without finding them all over again somewhere else on the iPad.  Delete "everywhere" seems not to be quite accurate to describe what happens.
    Thanks for helping me out.

    Try sharing it via photostream. It makes a link so people with non iOS devices can view them all you do is forware it to their emails........
    heres a link for photstream.  Good luck!

    Follow the steps below to create a shared photo stream. Note that you cannot share all the photos in My Photo Stream at one time. However, you can select images from it to create a shared photo stream.
    On your device using iOS 6:
    From the Home screen, tap Photos.
    Tap the Photo Stream tab. (Note: You can also share images from your Camera Roll or an album in your Camera Roll. Tap the Albums tab, then tap Camera Roll or an Album. Continue with steps 4-7 below.)
    Tap My Photo Stream, then tap Edit. 
    Tap each photo you'd like to add to the shared photo stream. A check mark will appear on selected photos. Tap Share.
    Tap Photo Stream. (If this is not your first shared photo stream, you'll need to select New Photo Stream from the Add to a Photo Stream list.)
    Enter the email addresses of the people with whom you'd like to share this new photo stream. Type in a name for your photo stream. To share this photo stream on iCloud.com, move the Public Website slider to the ON position. If you will be sharing your stream with someone who does not have an iCloud account, you will need to make the stream public. People without an iCloud account can view the stream in a web browser. Tap Next.
    Optionally, you can add a comment for your new stream to introduce it. Tap Post.
    To share a Stream with someone who wishes to view it from a web browser, or to post a shared photo stream to Facebook or Twitter:
    Find the name of the shared photo stream from your list of photo streams and tap the blue arrow on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Tap Edit on your iPad, then tap the name of the shared photo stream.
    Tap Share Link.
    To share with Facebook or Twitter, Tap either Facebook or Twitter, and tap Post.
    To send the link in a message or email, tap Message or Email.
    You can also opt to tap the Copy a link URL so that you can post it elsewhere.

  • I want to change the sharing and permissions of a large number of photos. How can I do this in bulk rather than one at a time?

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way?

  • HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

    As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • How do I save photo's from a shared photostream that I have subscribed to, to my PC?

    I was invited to subscribe to a shared photostream, I can now access these pictures on my iPhone. I want to save all of these pictures on my PC, is there an easy way of doing this?
    I expected to see these pictures in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC under the 'Shared' folder.
    There are about 900 pictures, will it take some time for these to appear?
    Any pointers/help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    Hey there, i made this mistake also what your doing is looking in the Photostream Viewer found in (Other Drives) section of Computer. If you look in the Photostream folder (Mine is located in the Pictures Library) you will find a folder labeled shared.
    Photostream folder location is set in the iCloud Settings under Control Panel. Photostream options button.
    Hope this helps.

  • Duplicates in Shared Photostream in iOS Photos, Mac OS X iPhoto, AppleTV, but not iCloud Web

    Just started using the shared Photostream feature today, and we noticed that the first shared Photostream we tried duplicated all the photos that were shared if viewed from iPhoto or AppleTV. The web site for the shared Photostream does have exactly the right pictures with no duplicates.
    All versions of the software mentioned are the latest.
    Background: I did have to turn on Photostream for iPhoto for the user, and the user had never used iPhoto Photostream before. We might have tried sharing once, then cancelled to get a better list of email addresses before sending out the invitation, but we didn't hit OK, only Cancel.

    You know you're not talking to Apple here, right? Only other users, just like you.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to Apple.

  • Shared photostream - sort photos by date?

    I've created a shared photostream for sharing travel photos. I've uploaded the photos as I've edited them. Now I find that the photos are not in chronological order in the photostream and have lost all their place/date&time photo information.
    And I can't resort in chronological order.
    Now what? It's a mess.

    Have you selected the event and used the autosplit event command?

  • Shared Photostream: Photo Order for Public Web site

    I create a Shared Photostream.
    I add pictures to the Photostream.
    The people getting the stream who are on iOS devices see the photos in the order they were added to the stream.
    First In, First Out.
    However, when I create the Public Website it appears that the photos are in the reverse order.
    The last ones added to the stream are the first one seen.
    Is the photo order just a coincidence? Or should there be a pattern to it? Consistent with the Website?
    Thanks!

    This is what they will be emailed:

  • I have Windows7.  HOw can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photostream

    I use Windows7.  How can I download shared photostream photos from others' shared photosteam photos using ICloud?

    How are you doing the downloading?
    If you download raw files with iPhoto, iPhoto can only edit the JPEG preview that is embedded with each raw file. iPhoto is not a true raw editor, because it's a consumer-level product, not professional-level.
    The files should remain in RAW format if you download any of these ways, by using:
    Apple Image Capture (in your Utilities folder)
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (comes with your camera, but since the 40D is so old, go to the Canon site and upgrade your copy to the latest version for compatibility with the latest Mac OS X)
    Apple Aperture
    Adobe Lightroom
    Any other professional raw organizer/editor like Capture One

  • HT201317 My shared photostream keeps deleting all the photos and shows empty. Any ideas why ?

    I've shared a photo folder on my Ipad which I use to send or share photos with other family members on a different apple account. Twice in the last week it has emptied the folder of its photos and left an empty folder. Can anyone offer advice on how to stop this ?

    Try to follow steps in that article, usually shared photostreams do not have exparation, so it sounds like you didn't actually share one.
