Photo Order in iCloud Sharing

How can I keep my photos in the same order as they are in the album, once I upload to iCloud Photo Sharing?

You can not - PS is sorted by date/time - it has no options for sorting
Suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

    I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream.  I've carefully sorted the photos in the album.  But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders.  In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
    Is there a fix?

    please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it!   Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums.  If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added.  Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new.  iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
    I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

  • How to include photo descriptions in iCloud sharing?

    When I share photos to iCloud, I find that the online album (stream) does not include any photo descriptions I have added in iPhoto (or any other "metadata" for that matter). As a workaround I have manually added a comment to each shared photo, with the text description being the description pasted from iPhoto, but that's a huge pain.
    Has anyone found a better way to include photo descriptions in their iCloud shared photo streams?
    I know iPhoto (I'm using version 9.5.1) does export this info, because if you export a photo and view its attributes in Finder, you'll see the metadata. It's pretty annoying because if you spend time adding custom titles, descriptions, tagging faces and places, it would be nice for some of this to be included in photos you're sharing with friends and family.
    Thanks!

    I'll close this thread by mentioning the more drastic workaround I'm going with: not using iCloud for sharing when I need a lot of descriptions and other metadata. I'm planning to export from iPhoto, including title and keywords, and then post on Google+, which seems to read the metadata from the JPGs.
    If you are going to export from iPhoto anyway, you can send the photos using the  Photo Stream as well.  When you are sharing via PhotoStream, the Photo Stream will transfer the EXIF and IPTC tags embedded in the original file. Only, there are two problems with the embedded EXIF and IPTC tags:
    The way you are seeing the photos in the PhotoStream album is misleading.  The Info panel in the Photo Stream view simply is not showing the tags that are embedded in the photo. The only visible metadata are the filename. You will see the embedded metadata however in the Info panel,  when you import the photo from the Photo Stream album to an event.
    And the Photo Stream will not add cations and titles to the shared images, that are not yet part of the original image file and only part of the edited version. But any tags embedded in the original file will transfer.
    As a simple work-around to share the titles and keywords, export the images and use the titles as filenames. Then reimport and send via Photo Stream.

  • ICloud shared photo comment

    Hi,
    My wife, her mom, and I are using iPhones. Of course we thought iCloud photo sharing is the best way we can share our photos because we live apart. So my wife set up an iCloud photo sharing album and invite her mom and me. There have been no problem to share photos among us, but, I found something weird.
    Most of time, it is my wife and I who upload photos. My mother-in-law usually leaves comments on photos. By the way, what I found was the comments that my mother-in-law left on the photos are seen only to whom posted the photo and not to the other one. For example, if my wife posted a photo to the iCloud shared album and her mom commented on the photo, the comment are always seen to my wife and not to me. Then, in case that I posted a photo, the comment by mother-in-law is shown only to me.
    Is there anything we did wrong in setting up the shared album? I tried to find out, but could not. Any helps?

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
    Don't the albums show at all?
    Are you signed in  with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before?  And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
    For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
    and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
    Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
    And wait.
    The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    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:

  • I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

    I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

    Tried that too over the weekend,I unchecked the Photos option in iCloud preferences in System, let iPhoto do it's thing, then restarted the Mac, and turned iCloud Photos back on again... it looked promising the first hour... but then stopped downloading 20 or so albums. I have over 80 shared albums created over the years.
    Also, the albums it did download, sometimes they're not even complete nor in any particular order.
    I did exactly what you did. It took two days, but slowly all shared streams came back.
    If the photo streams do not reappear, try if removing the content of this folder will help: It contains the photos downloaded from the shared streams. Perhaps one photo is corrupted.
    ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/
    Quit iPhoto
    Move the folder above from your User Library to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • ICloud Photo Library and Family Sharing

    Does anyone know how the iCloud Photo Library and Family Sharing accounts interact?  I'd rather not have to specify what to share with the rest of the family if I don't have to.

    Each family member has their own Apple ID, but uses the main one for purchases.  It seems to make sense that each AppleID could have its own Photos library, but I can't find anything in the support area that says this to be the case definitively.  I want each family member to have their own Photos library that syncs between their iPhone and their ID. I hope that's how it works.

  • Problem with shared photo streams in iCloud

    I am using version 9.6 of iPhoto on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1. All of a sudden I cannot see any photos in my shared photo streams in iCloud - all the streams are showing up and the subscribers but it says there are 0 photos. It is the same for mine and other people's shared photo streams. I can still see all the photos on my iPhone and iPad. I have not been able to find a solution online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Sometimes it helps to delete the cached copy of the Photo Streams from your user library.
    Open the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/          in your user library in your home folder.
    Remove the complete folder iLifeAssetManagement/ to your Desktop and compress it.
    Then restart your mac.
    Your user library may still be hidden.
    To open the hidden User Library:
    Quit iPhoto.
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it)
    In the window that opens select the folder "Application Support", then look for " iLifeAssetManagement/"

  • How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

    I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream. 
    So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website.  Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
    As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads.  This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
    Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream.  Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

    If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
    iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
    Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
    On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
    On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

  • 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:

  • Problems with iCloud shared photo album

    I am subscribed to a shared photo album via iCloud. I had to restore my phone, and afterwards, my shared album was blank, no photos there.
    It appears fine on my iPad; I can see all photos previously added.
    I made sure that I have iCloud Photo Sharing on. I also had the owner of the album to delete and re-add me.

    If the photos were synced to the iPod you have to unsync them or use a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to delete them.

    spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.
