Photo stream from 2 iPhones to 1 Mac

My wife and I each have an iPhone using our own Apple IDs.  However, we only have 1 iPhoto library which is on our shared Mac under my Apple ID.  I don't want to create another iPhoto library and I wondered, is it possible to stream from our two phones to one iPhoto account using the Cloud?

No, at least not yet. Maybe it'll be something to come along in an update.
It's a little weird, on Windows you can sinc Photostream to a folder, but on the Mac you can only sinc to iPhoto or Aperture. If on a Mac you could sinc to a folder, then you could do that with one of the phones and have a simple Automator application automatically import those into your 1 iPhoto Library.

  • HT204022 How do I remove photos from Photo Stream from my iPhone 4s?

    I am trying to delete some of my photos from Photo Stream on my iPhone 4s running on 5.0.1 When I mark the pictures on the phone that I want to delete there is no option to actually remove them. Is there a way that this can be done and if so how do I go about doing this?  can I do it from the phone directly or do I have to go through iTunes? If I have to do it through iTunes how do I also do this?
    Many thanks for all your help,
    Shosh

    You should be able to open you my photo stream folder in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.

  • Why arent my photos streaming from my iPhone to my iCloud?

    In addition to the question... there are only 85 pictures in my photo stream on my desktop while there are 729 in my photo stream on my iPhone. And my iCloud in at 4.4 GB used.

    The only possible answer anyone can give is... becuase something is wrong. You're not giving us any information to work with.
    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

  • How do i import my photo stream from my iPhone 6 to my new mini-mac?

    I have new mini-mac I have set up and I would like to import all of my photos from my iPhone 6.  Any help is appreciated.

    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    That will get photos from your Camera Roll album.
    For photos synced to the device you need a third-party app like PhoneView or TouchCopy
    If you turn on PhotoStream in iPhoto you will get the last 30 days of PhotoStream photos

  • HT201317 My photo's wont stream from my iphone to my mac?

    I have all the settings and system prefreneces turned on correctly and still my photo's wont stream? please can someone help. Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

  • HT1229 How can you transfer the  photo library from  an iphone to a mac.

    I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc.  Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone.  The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.

  • How to export a photo album from my iphone that was previously imported from another mac?

    Again, I'd like to export a photo album from my iphone to my mac. What is unique here is that the album was originally imported from another mac to my iphone. When I open iphoto on my mac it will import everything else but this particular album. It's from my old iphone that crashed but I was lucky enough to export the pics from my old phone to another mac and then import them to my new iphone. Great as that is, I'd still like to export them to my mac. HELP, thoughts, ideas

    Sync it to your new computer.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • TS3989 how can I share a photo stream from my mac? there's no check box in system preferences to turn it on

    I've been having trouble to share my photo stream with other from my mac. Once I selecte the photos and click share>photo stream, nothing else happens. The option for "new photo stream" does not appear, neither the field where you type in the email addresses from people you whant to share it with. I all ready checked in iphoto'11> system Pref.> photo stream and there's no "shared photo strem" check box to turn on or off... I also checked in my mac system pref to be sure that my icloud is enabled and it is.
    If I select photos and then go to my tool bar and press share. the option of photo stream is not available.
    I also can't accept any shared photo stream from other and view it in my iphoto. I can only access it via web.
    I DO can use my photo stream correctly and share it via my iphone. and every picture that I take uploads into my mac and every photo I import from cameras into my iphoto also uploads fine into my Ph stream. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T SHARE THEM FROM MY MAC.....
    Please can someone help me?

    You turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane:
    Check the box "Automatic Upload" to add every photo imported into the library to the Photo Stream.  Or leave it unchecked and manually add just selected photos to the stream by dragging them onto the Photo Stream heading in the left hand pane.
