Only One Photo in a Shared Photo Stream is Displayed

I have a persistent yet simple problem with iCloud Shared Photo Streams. Either when I am sent an invitation for a Shared Photo Stream or create one myself the Shared PS properly appears in the iPhoto Photo Stream window and when I hover over the icon the correct number of photos contained is shown. If I double-click to open the window ONLY one photo appears - always the first photo in the stream. I am never able to view the whole content of the stream on my iMac - although the streams appear correctly on my iPad, my iPhone, another iMac and on the machines of friends I send stream invites to. I have tried many things: quit iPhoto and restart, restart the machine, delete all iLife prefs in the Library, delete iLifeAssetManagement in Library>Application Support, change Libraries, started from a different User, updated iPhoto several times, a complete restore and reinstall of the OS, saying prayers to the iLife gods and crossing my fingers. None of this has helped. It seems clear to me that my problem is not with my iMac, nor with my OS, nor really with iPhoto itself - but involves the interaction of iPhoto library files with iCloud. Having said that, I have no idea how to proceed next. Any thought would be welcome.

Thanks for the thought, Larry - but I have turned off all iCloud on all devices and - oops, but wait. I've done that - but I haven't then rebooted them all. I'll try that tomorrow morning. In the meantime, here's one more small clue. When this first happens I get a crash file in ~Library/Preferences named com.apple.iLifeAssetManagdement.crash.plist. It's too cryptic for me but it says:

HT201317 can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

No. At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

HT201317 Who can add photos to a shared Photos Stream?

I shared a Photo Stream with family & friends and successfully shared photos with them. Can they add photos to my Photo Stream too? Or am I the only one that can add/delete photos from my Photo Stream?

As mentioned in your other post, the ability for others to add photos to a shared photo stream is coming in iOS 7.

HT201077 Can I share all my photos with my wife without having to constantly add photos to the shared photo stream?

My family has an imac where we have a family photo library in iphoto. The iphoto library is under my wife's profile. My wife and I each have an iphone 4S. I'd like all the photos my wife and I take on our iphones to automatically upload to the iphoto library on my wife's imac account. I've tried a few different ways of doing this and none of them are ideal.
My current solution works, but has some unwanted side effects. Currently, my wife and I use the same main icloud account on our iphones. This would be the perfect solution if it didn't take up the same icloud storage (among other issues).
It'd be nice if you could have 2 photo streams linked to the same iphoto library on a mac. This way both my wife's photo stream and my photo stream would downloand to the same iphoto library. It doesn't appear that iphoto for mac allows this.
I realize I could do this the old fashioned way (outside of photo stream). But, it seems as though there should be a solution that works automatically.
Could there be a solution creating a shared photo stream on my iphone and sharing this photo stream with my wife? I've looked into this but can't see how it would work automatically. It looks like you have to manually add photos to a shared photo stream. I'd like the shared photo stream to update itself to include all photos I take.
Does anybody have a simple solution for this problem?

There is not (yet) an easy solution to use an an iPhoto library with two separate My Photo streams.
It might be easier to take the family photo library out of your wife's account and move it to a shared location, so boh of you can maintain it, see:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
This way, both of you could download automatically to My Photo Straem and your private iPhoto Libary, remove the worst pictures, and then export only the best shots to the shared library. This will make the shared library smaller and at the same time create a backup of the best pictures, and it will ensure that your family will never see a potentially embarrassing photo. Sharing My Photo Stream is really dangerous, because each and any picture you take will be added the PhotoStream, before you can delete it.
As you may have seen at Apple's WWDC keynote presentation the new MacOS X Maverick will bring more sharing options for Photo Streams: Watch the keynote
You may want to wait for the next software generation before doing any major reorgansition.

HT5903 Are photos stored in Shared Photo Streams in full quality?

Does anyone know whether photos uploaded to Shared Photo Streams are stored in full (original) quality?
I'm interested to know whether Photo Streams can be relied upon for backing up photo collections (i.e. they can be downloaded again in original quality in case of loss from the computer/phone/iPad they were taken with), or whether it is only really for sharing.
Thanks

No. Not for shared streams

My photo stream keeps photos at full quality in the cloud, although it only syncs lower resolution photos to an iOS device, but full resolution to your computer.

Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.

How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

How do I see the other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see everyone on mac book pro, but not ipad. I can only see myself and the owner. Please help.

Hello there, missjanellez.
The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
Do any of the following:
To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

HT4858 What about number of days. How long is a photo stored in shared photo stream? 30 days?

What about number of days. How long is a photo stored in shared photo stream? 30 days?
Also, do photos in a photo stream (shared or personal) get backed up on a pc if the icloud panel is there?

I've adapted this from a function on my blog. you will need to add set the YourTicketTable to where ever your tickets are stored.
CREATE
FUNCTION [dbo].[CalcWorkDaysBetween](@StartDate
As DateTime,@EndDate
AS DateTime)
RETURNS
INT AS
BEGIN
SET @EndDate
=DATEADD(DAY,1,@EndDate)
DECLARE @Count
AS Int= 0
DECLARE @Date
As Date=@StartDate
WHILE @Date
< @EndDate
BEGIN
IF (DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@Date)IN(1,7)
OR (SELECT
Count(*)
FROM YourTicketTable WHERE TicketDate=@Date)=1)
BEGIN
SELECT @Count = @Count
+ 1
END
SELECT @Date=DATEADD(Day,
1,@Date)
END
RETURN
DATEDIFF(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate)- @Count
END

HT201077 Can more than one person upload photos to the shared Photo Stream?

Is there any way that more than one person can stream their photo on the same Photo Stream Album?

That's just the way it is right now. But if you would like to see this changed you can tell Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

Can only choose one email application for sharing photos

In the iPhoto's 5 preferences pane there is a drop down list for choosing the email program you prefer when sharing photos using email. There is a list of 4 applications in the drop down list. "American Online" is selected. When I click on the list to select a new program, the list goes immediately dim and I cannot change the email program. If I close the preferences dialog and reopen it then the list is reactivated but I still cannot change it without it going dim.
Is there an iPhoto pref file that I can delete that will reset the preferences? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi there,
There is a preference file you can delete and your OS will generate a new one. The drawback, the plist file also contains your albums, etc etc etc. You won't lose any of your photos but you will lose some of the renaming, albums etc, basically what you have done to personalize iPhoto library...
Thr problem you're talking abou has been mentioned before in this forum. I don't know if it is a software issue or an OS issue, and I do not recall if there was a fix...
The easiest way to find the preference list is to open Macintosh HD > username > LIbrary... you can just do a search for 'iphoto' from this window, the file will be named com.apple.iphoto.plist - I would drag file to desktop and open iPhoto and see if it helps with your email issues, if not you can drag back to orginal location, etc...
Another thing you can try, create another user, open iPhoto and see if same email issues occur, if it does, than the problem is with iPhoto application, if not than it COULD be the preference file...
EDITED: if you cannot fix your email problems, simply use the 'export' function, save to desktop and you should be able to find and attach the photo to any of your preferred mail clients...
Good luck, Rick

I can't add multiple photos to a shared photo stream in iPhoto.

Hi All,
I need troubleshooting assistance! How do you add multiple photos at a time into a shared photo stream?
I've selected multiple photos but when I add them, they don't appear in the stream. However if I add them individually they do appear. I've tried re-setting my internet, re-starting the iMac and iPhoto, I've left iPhoto on overnight in case it took a while to add them to the stream..but nothing works! I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
I'm running v10.9.4 OS on my iMac and 9.5.1 iPhoto.
For more information, when I select multiple photos and add them to the photo stream, it "looks" like these photos are dropped into the photo stream by the graphics that follow but when I open the stream they are not there!
Thanks in advance.

I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
Have you tried to share only a few photos at a time? When I am sharing a small number of photos all it once, it works.

Is there a way to automatically delete photos from a shared photo stream

I have a shared photo stream with almost 4k photos. I would like to set it up so that any photo older than 90 days or greater than 1000 photos is automatically deleted. Any way to do this?

Your shared photo streams always sorted by the date you added them. If you view them, the oldest photos are at the top of the window and the newest an the bottom, with the total number showing in the upper right corner.
if you select one of the photos and open the info panel, you can see, when you posted the photo. You could just select a photo, from the top of the list, and if it is older than 90 days, delete all photos from the beginning of the stream up to the photo you selected.

Photo titles in shared Photo Streams?

I have started to use shared Photo Streams, but find that my carefully constructed titles are not transferred to the Photo Stream – each photo appears with its original alphanumerical identifier.
Is there a way I can get photos to keep their titles?

Hi sbgsb,
As long as I have used iPhoto, titles you give images in iPhoto stay within iPhoto. they have never changed in the Finder.
To burn a roll of photos:
click on the roll title to highlight the photos in the roll
Got to File>export
In the export window choose "title" as the naming scheme
Create new folder on desktop
Export into that folder
Burn that folder

How long do photos last in shared photo streams?

I was wondering how long photos will stay in shared photo streams. Do these fall under the same rules are regular photo streams or will they stay there until I delete them?
I'd love to use this as a photo storage site versus Facebook!

I finally found an article on the Apple site that says "You can share as many photos as you like with Shared Photo Streams. They don't count against your iCloud storage and aren't removed from iCloud until you delete them."
