Photo stream causing iphoto crash

Hi,
maybe somebody here will be able to help me as I am going crazy with it.
everything used to work fine, it didn't happen after any update, as far as I can tell, simply one day my iphoto crashed and it keeps crashing after few seconds after launch ever since. one thing that 'helps', though it is not really a solution, is turning off photo stream. with that off it works fine. as I need iphoto solely for photo stream, it doesn't really get me anywhere.
I followed some wisdom found on the net that this behaviour is caused by some 3ivx codec, but removing all components of that didn't change matters one bit. I've also deleted the library, the plist files, created new libraries, rebuileded permissions and did everything else, including reinstalling the software itself, all to no avail.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

is this enough?

  • How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto

    Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
    Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
    Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
    Thank you for any help!!
    Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service... 

    If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
    and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream,  the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
    When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

  • HT4906 How can I subscribe to a shared Photo Stream in iPhoto

    I'm trying to use iPhoto to subscribe to a shared Photo Stream from my sister-in-law.  Whenever I click on the invitation, it says I need to sign in to iCloud -- which I have multiple times now -- and be running iPhoto 9.4 (which is actually 9.4.2).  So, I've satisfied all the necessary steps, but it's not bringing up iPhoto on my computer.  I have Photo Stream on iPhoto configured to allow subscribing to shared Photo Streams.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Figured it out with a helpful hint from someone elses post.
    I have two iCloud accounts.  My System Preferences had iCloud configured with the wrong Apple ID. 
    The email that gets sent when someone shares a Photo Stream might mention something about the System Preferences -> iCloud needing to be configured if you want to see the shared stream in iPhoto on a Mac.

  • How to delete pictures in photo stream in iPhoto

    I have a whole bunch of pictures that I do not want to keep in photo stream in iPhoto on my macbook. 
    When I select the files I want to delete, it only gives me a quick "white" blank and does not respond.  Dragging the photos to the trash can does not work, either. 
    iPhoto has been my worst nightmare ever since I got my macbook.  It is just way too difficult to organize or keep track of my photos.  I need to visit this forum every time I need to do the simplest commands like deleting a file or transfering a file. 
    Please help.

    Where are you selecting the photos you want to remove from the Photo Stream?
    This should work:  See: How to delete photos from Photo Stream
    On a Mac using iPhoto 9.2.2 or later, or Aperture 3.2.3 or later:
    Select a photo or group of photos from the Photo Stream (or My Photo Stream) view in iPhoto or Aperture.
    Press the Delete key.
    Click Delete.

  • Photo Stream in iPhoto not updating

    My family has multiple iOS devices.  We utilize Photo Stream.  Pics on one device show up in Photo Stream on all devices.  That is okay.  When I open iPhoto on my MacBook, the Photo Stream doesn't contain any of the pictures from the devices.  Why is this?  Is there a way to fix?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. 
    Then log back in and re-enable, respectively makins sure Photo Stream is selected in the System preferences. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • "Gaps" in photo stream on iPhoto

    I am working with pictures I took on a recent vacation, some of which I uploaded from my camera and some of which were taken with my iPhone. When I went to my current photo stream on iPhoto, I noticed that not all of the pictures on my iPhone photostream were on there. And it's not the oldest or the newest that are missing. It's completely random. The photo right before and after it are on iPhoto but the picture between them is missing.
    Any ideas as to how to get them to sync properly?  I don't want to have to go through the hassle of emailing them all to myself and uploading them to iPhoto again.
    iOS6, Mountain Lion and iPhoto '11 all have the most recent updates, btw.
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Yes Roger thanks, I have Lion.
    But till Mobile me will be terminated there will be problem of idenification. For example I saw that it was useful to deselect all sync by itunes for my iPhone because there is a conflict with sync by iCloud.
    Also in my mailbox I had an .Mac account wich has been doubled by an ICloud mail box and now only my iCloud mail box receives mail. So I think I can suppress my .Mac mail box which doesn't connect anymore.
    Mobile me used to be so simple. I wish they had change once iCloud was really completed.
    So I have a dropbox now to do what mobile me used to do and iCloud is not able to do anymore.

  • Can't activate photo stream in iPhoto

    Hi
    It seems that I can't activate photo stream in iPhoto. When I try to click "Activate photo stream" in iPhoto > Settings > Photo Stream it uncheck itself right away. Realy frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?

    Jepp, same problem here.
    Photo Stream enables/activates  on both my iPhone and Macbook Air, but not on my iMac desktop. Enabling it in System and iPhoto Preferences is not possible ...
    Very annoying.
    Will check some other help forums too to see if a solution is available ...
    Keep us posted anyone else who discovers a solution to the problem ...

    When i delete photos from photo stream in iphoto .. The pictures are still there on my iphone's photo stream. They are both connected to the same i cloud account.. And i cannot update to ios 5.1 on iphone.. Any help ??

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • No shared photo stream on iPhoto '11

    Hi! I have been trying to create a shared photo stream from iPhoto on mi iMac, but there is no option to do so, I only get my photo stream. I searched Apple support and supposedly under preferences/photo stream there should be a checkbox to enable the shared photo stream, but I only get three check boxes: "Enable Photo Stream", "Automatic Import" and "Automatic Upload", nothing about the shared photo stream. I have the latest version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.2). Any ideas on how to make it work? Thanks!
