No metadata in Photo Stream shared libraries

After uploading images to a Photo Stream shared library, I noticed they do not inclue the IPTC caption, keywords and other metadata, making the process virtually useless. All images are referenced files in Aperture 3.4.5, under Mac OS 10.8.4, with "write metadata to masters" applied. How can you include metadata in Photo Stream shared libraries?
Thanks!

Eric,
Now I see - you are asking about "Shared Photo Stream" - I was confused by shared "libraries".
With the "Shared PhotoStream" the only data I am receiving from friends are the EXIF tags - GPS, lens, aperture, etc, none of the IPTC.
When I want to send annotations, I add a comment by pressing the call out badge.
My standard IPTC metedata is also absent after choosing the "Export > Version…" command, and opening the file in the Preview app.
Do you mean, when you are exporting an image from the Photo Straem, or any image? With File > Export > Versions and exporting an image from the library with IPTC as a jpeg, these tags will all show in Previews Inspector.
Grüße
Léonie

Photo stream sharing in iPhoto 9.3.2

Maybe I'm just confused ... But isn't Mountain Lion and this iPhoto update supposed to support Photo Stream Sharing? Photo Stream seems to work the same as it always has, i.e. just as a 30 day distribution channel to all of my devices.
Anybody know how to enable sharing the photo stream from within iPhoto? It doesn't seem particularly intuive assuming e feature is enabled. Is it a setting in Mountain Lion perhaps?

http://www.apple.com/icloud/coming-soon/
The iCloud coming soon link under the Shared Photo Streams mentions "Friends using iCloud on an iOS 6 device or a Mac running Mountain Lion get the photos delivered immediately in the Photos app or iPhoto."
Fingers crossed this is referring to that sharded photo streams will automatically load into Photos...

HT5902 Photo stream sharing w/iPhone 4S & iPad mini

My new iPad mini is not showing the photos from my iPhone4S . I have the cloud settings on for photo stream sharing on both the iPhone 4 and the iPad mini. What am I doing wrong? I did reboot both devices.
Thank you!

Photostream only shows photos taken after Photostream is turned on. Also photos are not added to Photostream until the Camera app is exited.

Download Photo from Photo Stream shared by others

How can I download the photos from Photo Stream shared by my friend to my iPhoto Library?

I could not find the photos in both "Photos" view or "Event" view.
You have to look in the "iCloud" view. It is in the "Shared" section. This section may be hidden. Hover the mouse to the right of the caption "Shared". there is a hidden Show/Hide control.

Photo Stream Sharing and Apple IDs?

In order to share a Photo Stream so that it automatically keeps friends and family updated, the person invited to the stream must have an Apple product as well as an Apple ID related e-mail address.
Most Apple IDs are the same as Apple e-mail addresses. However, do I need their actual Apple ID primary e-mail, or will Photo Sharing accept any Apple ID associated e-mail?
According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 I should be able to associate multiple e-mail addresses with my Apple ID after I have verified a primary e-mail address, and then theoretically use any of them to invite that person to a photo stream.
Anybody know if this is the case?
Unfortunately, you cannot add one of your own aliases or alternate e-mail addresses to a shared stream, so I have no way to test this ...

My Apple ID and iCloud account email are, for some reason, different -- somehow, iCloud still has a @me.com email address listed as my account email, whereas the rest of Apple services correctly shows the primary email for my Apple ID.
Perhaps this is why, but I can't receive any Photo Stream invitations sent to my Apple ID / primary email. I only see the invites when they are sent to the old @me.com address listed under iCloud, or to the @icloud.com address that was automatically assigned when me.com transitioned to icloud.com.
Can anyone suggest a way I can fix this situation? Hopefully I should be able to change the email address associated with my icloud.com account to match my Apple ID primary email, but I can't figure out a way to do this.

Photo stream sharing

It seems from everything I read that this new option in IOS6 is all about sharing specific pictures into what Apple calls a "stream". What I was really hoping for was that I could share my photo stream that is on my phone with my wife's icloud account/devices and my son's. This way as soon as I take a picture with my iphone my wife and son can see the picture.
Is this available and I am just not finding how to use it or am I looking for something that doesn't exist? Hate to say this but I thought this feature would compete with the Samsung photo sharing commercials that I constantly see and am getting really tired of watching/ignoring.

If you have the settings for iCloud already configured, there's a sub-secton in the iCloud settings for Photo Stream. In that section there's an option to enable your own Photo Stream and/or enable Shared Photo Stream.
Once you have iCloud configured and enabled Shared Photo Stream you'll be able to select some pictures, choose who to share them with, give the Shared Photo Stream a name and then publish it. You can go back later and add more pictures to that Photo Stream. The Shared Photo Stream does not automatically share your entire Photo Stream.

Are iCloud photo streams shared on a public website crawlable by search engines?

I want to share a photo stream with friends and family, not all of whom have apple devices, so I'm pretty sure I need to share it as a public website and share the link that is assigned to it. However, I still want this photo stream to be private within this group. So I am wondering if icloud photo streams on public sites are crawlable/findable by search engines.

Hey there dzaffrann,
It sounds like you have some questions about sharing your iCloud Photo Stream on a public site. Here is an article for you with some answers to these questions:
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
Can I share with people who don't use iCloud?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings for your shared album, your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared album.

Photo Stream/Sharing Photos....

I'd like to be able to upload one of my albums in iPhoto, to the iCloud but haven't figured out how to do this, without my iPhone wanting to to upload *all* 4,000 photos to the cloud (I turned Photo Stream on). I don't want all of my photos in the cloud as I hear that once they are in the cloud and you delete, the photo(s) gets deleted from all devices. I simply want to upload one album to my iCloud so that I can access it from another (PC) computer.
Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks Larry-how do I set this up so that I can upload/share my iPhoto album (*is* it possible to share *one album* or will it just import/allow me to share all 4,000 photos)-I don't want *all* photos shared-just one album in particular.
Do I set this up on the iPhone? or just on my Macbook Air? At present, my iPhone is set up this way:
Photos & Camera: iCloud Photo library-off
My Photo stream-off
Upload burst photos-off
iCloud photo sharing-off
Summarise photos-on
I'd appreciate some guidance as to which settings to have on, and which to have off.
Many thanks!

Photo Stream Sharing Difficulties

My daughter is currently travelling in China and has shared a dedicated photo stream with me. She's on a 5C running 7 and I'm on a 4S running 7. I have been able to add photos to her stream which she can see, but I can't see any of her photos. She's a smart kid and we have checked that she's set it up all Ok - her battery is over 20%, she's connected to wifi, she's enabled sharing and she's adding the photos to the stream... I've run out of ideas why I can't see her photos. Can anyone suggest anything? I did start to wonder whether we're a victim of the Great Firewall of China...?

Well, 3 or 4 days after they were originally taken and added to the shared photo stream, all my daughter's photos have appeared on my device. Don't know what caused the delay (although the cynic in me thinks they were maybe being censored), but maybe, sometimes, you have to be a little patient.

Accessing music and photos from shared libraries in imovie and other apps

ihave a problem that i'm not sure is solvable. i have a mac mini that i use to hold all my music in itunes, photos in iphoto and share this with my other mac by turning on the sharing in itunes and iphoto. this means on my other mac, i can access music and photos using the shared music and photos facility in those programs. however, when i want to add music or photos into imovie using the media tab in imovie on my other mac, it doesn't show the shared libraries. i also have the same problem in final cut pro. is there anyway to make these programs see shared libraries of photos of music that sit on another mac on the network?

Mac on Andy,
If you copy the photos you wish to use to your iPhoto local library you'll then have access in to them in the media pane of iMovie.
However, iTunes will not allow you to do the same thing with songs.
As a workaround you could enable File Sharing and then mount the mini as a server. In the Finder you'll need to then rummage around in the mini's iTunes library to find the tracks you need, but it should work.

Add to a Photo Stream shared with you

We have set up a photo stream to share among family members. Since I created the photo stream, and then shared it with others, and did not make it public, when I go to add a photo I can see the names of the photo streams which I can choose from. So why when a family mamber who has accepted the invite and who can see the photo stream, NOT add to it? When they go to add a photo, they get no list of available streams shared with them. Am I missing something obvious here? Can multiple people not add to the same stream???

only the owner of the shared stream can add photos to it. Others can set up their own shared streams for you to view.

Photo stream sharing? Where do you subscribe to other's photos?

Found someone else's pics on my iPad. How did this happen?

I read in the icloud guide about the photo stream. It says to enter someone's email to share photos with them...My daughter is two. Is there another way she could have subscribed?

Photo Stream sharing among 1000 company phones

I have just under 1000 phones that I need to set up to share pictures. I know the limits of Photo Stream. Are there workarounds to those limits like setting up 10 streams and having 100 subscribers to each? What other methods or apps are there?
Thanks for the help!

We want to create a photobook using iPhoto 11. Photos from shared libraries keep disappearing. Why?

Photos sent to a photobook from a shared library disappear. Why and how can we "save" the photobook to enable further work on it as a later date.

Yes.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
