Photo stream for 10.6

Sorry I can't wait for 10.8..
I have 10.6
I want photo stream functionality for SL
Is there a plugin for iPhoto ?
Acces via client?
SL work around (not including virtualisation)
I got mail working and calandra via Gbase hunt.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Ps I know it's unsupported - I'm looking for a solution not some one to tell me that again.

1 - sorry that you do not want the only correct answer - but the answer to your question is you can not use Photo Stream unless you have iPhoto '11 (version 9.2.2 or later). Lion (Version 10.7.2 or later) and IOS 5 on your mobile devices
2 - this is the iPhoto forum - your question (Demand) is really a OS question not an iPhoto question
But in any case as far as iPhoto is concerned there is no solution except to upgrade your OS and possibly iPhoto (you do not even bother to mention which version you have so we can only guess)

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

If I delete all my photos in my camera roll will it still be in my iCloud ??? And I made a photo stream for pics of me and my friends is t in my iCloud ? I want to delete all my pictures but will it be in my iCloud ?

Don't rely on iCloud to back up your pictures. It's designed to sync them to your devices, not back them up. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing your devices enough time to download them. But if you ever lose your device, or have to replace it, any photos older than 30 days will no longer be in iCloud to download.
To keep your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. After importing them, you will be given an option to delete them from your device.

ICloud photo stream for PC still doesn't work

I just read this 16-page comment thread about how photos merging won't work with iCloud Control Panel 3 on PCs: My Photo Stream is empty with iCloud Control Panel 3.0
The thread goes back about nine months without a solution. I have the same problem and need to find a fix.
We have about 15 iPads for customer use at our business. We occasionally upload photos to these devices and customers are allowed free use of the iPads. The devices are fixed in place and connected to a power supply and WiFi. My computer is a Windows 7 64-bit running iCloud Control Panel 3.1 on a separate WiFi network on property. The problem is photo downloading and uploading only works intermittently. Sometimes new photos populate in my PC's photo stream but usually they don't. The same is true when I try to push photos from my computer onto all the iPads using the upload folder. It usually works but not always.
This might be a minor annoyance for an Apple customer with one iPad but it creates lots of unnecessary work for a business because I have to use Dropbox to upload photos and have someone check the iPads for inappropriate photos daily.
The photo stream seems to work well between the iPads. It just seems the iPads don't play well with iCloud on PCs. I'm surprised this type of problem has persisted so long at Apple.

Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

HT201317 how can i sequence photos in photo stream for a slideshow

How can i sequence photos which have been taken over a period of months and exported to photo stream in no order for a slide show which must have the photos ordered manually?
thanks

You can't resequence the order in photo stream if that's what you are asking. You say you've been taking photos over a period of months - I hope these are not just in photo stream, because photos stay in the stream for up to 30 days (and only a max of 1000 pictures). You need to copy the photos [once they've been synced by the stream to a computer] to an album (on a mac) to folder (PC) were you can organize them any way you want.
Always sync photos to a computer (either by USB or iCloud) as you would with a digital camera. Never trust them to iCloud alone - too many users have lost most/all their photos when performing restores or whatever.

Photo Stream for Apple TV- HELP

I've updated absolutley everything and I can't sign in to photo stream on apple tv.
It asks for account name and password. Im guessing thats my sign in details for icloud.com ??? So I tried that and it just keeps saying username or password incorrect???
However I can see my photos in iphoto in my photo stream all good. I'm set up on my mac on icloud settings as well (The same account as icloud.com) SO EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK??????

Thank you. I had a hunch that might be the case. Recent letter to McWorld just superficially said he created a folder with photos and added music. No details.

Do I have to save all my photos to photo stream for them to be saved to iCloud?

Exactly what it say really. I have around 500 pics on my phone. They are duplicated in the camera roll and photo stream. My phone can no longer back up to iCloud as it says its full. If I delete all in the photo stream will the camera roll pics be backed up to iCloud?

Photostream and iCloud backup are independent - removing the Photostream pics won't increase available backup space. The camera roll is meant only for temprorary storage. You need to import the photos to an app on a computer and delete them from cameral roll to reduce the backup space needed,
iOS: Improve backup and restore times by importing Camera Roll or Saved Photos

I have had a iphone for a while with icloud and photo stream for my photos now i just put i cloud on my windows 8 now what?

I have had icloud on my iphone 4 for a while have all my photos in photo stream i just now have windows 8 on my new laptop set up icloud and now i have no idea how to transfer my photo stream photos to my laptop or itunes all with same account

You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

Why doesn't photo stream for iCloud control panel allow network drives?

I have just installed the iCloud control panel for my PC and was very excited about the possibilities that it would open up for my numerous i-devices and large photo library. The simple setup works just fine by putting my photo stream files into the default 'My Pictures' folder. Unfortunately, that is not where I keep my pictues, they are all organized on a mapped network drive (local network). The photo stream options in the iCloud control panel do not allow me to select a network drive as a storage location.
Is the inability to select a network drive for storage a deliberate decision or is this a bug?

I am experiencing the same problem
This is really frustrating! What is the technical difficulty in making this available? This disables all users who use NAS from using Photo Stream.
What a huge oversight.

Find pictures at Photo Stream, for longer than 30 days ago?

Are there any possibilities to find pictures from my (lost) iPhone at Photo Stream, that are taken for longer than 30 days ago?

The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days.
Do you have iCloud & Photo Stream set up on your computer?
Otherwise, no.

Can't load photos into iCloud photo stream for sharing (from iMac)

In iPhoto, I select an event, hit "Share >> iCloud", then "add new stream", then get the dialog box, then enter a friend's email, then hit "share". then get message "xx photos were posted". But when I look at my iCloud there is only an empty data stream (correct title but zero photos).

Where are you looking at the stream? On the same mac or on an iOS device? Do you see the shared photos in the iCloud section in the iPhoto library? Is your Wi-Fi working correctly?
Can it be, that you have hit one of the sharing limits?
iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits
If you have exceeded a limit, you may have to wait, before the photos will upload.

Merging large camera rolls in photo stream for iCloud merge/backup/share

I've got some pretty large camera rolls on my iPhone, never having realized I wasn't "synching" them to my iPad. Well, I looked at them and saw some large ones, as well as 1.000 photos in my iPhone my photo stream. I'd like iCloud to keep them sync he'd between the two, but can I do that? If I can, how do I take all the camera rolls and all those photos and get them into the my photo stream? There didn't seem to be a way to copy them, that I could see on my iPhone.
is it because the my photo stream size limit is 1,000?
and if not! how do I mass copy all those pics into the my photo stream?
and once I synch those, had do I synch them with the same iCloud account on my MacBook? That also seems like a problem, although Id ultimately like them there, because the faces, events, etc stuff in iPhoto seems really well done, plus, I've got the largest disk by far in my MacBook compared to the RAM in my iPhone & iPad.
any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Something else you may want to set up. If you have the same iCloud account set up on the Mac and you have Photo Stream turned on in iCloud, then in iPhoto, under Preferences>Photo Stream, you can turn on the option to automatically import your Photo Stream into iPhoto. That way, you have a backup of your Photo Stream that is saved in iPhoto Events every Month:
I have mine set up to do this, and I find it to be a great backup to my regular imports. I leave my Photo Stream imports out there as they are generated in Events (June 2013 Photo Stream, July 2013 Photo Stream, etc.). I also then import my Camera Roll every month or so, and import it into an Album that I label as desired. Photo Stream, of course, only has photos, no videos, so importing your Camera Roll is critical if you take videos.
Post back after you have set things up if you have any questions!
Cheers,
GB

Suspend Photo Stream for old photos?

I have just started using a Mac and Aperture and want to import many hundreds of photos into Aperture but PhotoStream insists on uploading them all. This not only takes a long time but is not what is desired! I am quite content to have photos taken in the last 30 days to be Stremed but how do I stop all these old photos being uploaded to PS?
Peter H

Peter, what are your Photo stream settings in the Aperture "Preferences > Photo Stream" panel?
I disable "Automatic upload" on my mac and add the new images manually to the stream by dragging them there. That has the added benefit, that I can weed them out a bit and delete technically bad shots, before pushing the new images to all my other devices.
Regards
Léonie

HT201317 I am unable to check photo stream for the icloud control panel. windows 7

Does anyone know what causes this and how can I fix it? I have been driving myself crazy. It has worked before, but suddenly it is not.

If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

How do you create a photo stream for a "group" in your contacts?

Each time I create a photostream, I have to type the beginning of each person's name to get them on the list of shared viewers. It's usually the same group. Is there any way for photostream icloud to see my contacts so I can just type the name of a group?

At the present time, you have to add subscribers individually.
