Photo Stream: iphoto 9.4 still says mobileme account

Trying to troubleshoot photo stream on macbook air (os 10.7.5 Lion) which doesn't sync with devices or imac. iPhoto preference panel "accounts" still shows mobileme instead of icloud, which I think may be the problem, but how do I change it? My system preference has icloud;I had deleted the mobileme pane months ago, but it's still showing in the iphoto pref.

It is updated to iPhoto 9.4.2. That didn't make a difference. Each device and iMac sync fine, MacBook Air doesn't. Even though they're both on iCloud with system 10.7.5 abd iPhoto 9.4.2, with systen prefs showing iCloud, on MacBook's iPhoto prefs it still says MobileMe, and does not update my photo stream.

Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

Can anyone help me. I have iPhoto 9.2 and Mac OS X 10.7.2.

I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem. I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin". Does this help with an answer?

I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Why isn't iCloud showing up in my mail preferences? It still says MobileMe to il

Why isn't iCloud showing up in my preferences? It still says MobileMe and I have already cahnged to iCloud...

Entourage is not an email account. It is a mail client that gives you access to your email accounts. You need to determine the email account in Entourage and then configure your iPhone to use those details. See Account Settings under the Entourage menu in Entourage.
If you want access to the contacts and calendar in Entourage you need to enable SyncServices in Entourage (in Preferences). This will then sync contacts and calendars to the Mac OS X Address Book and iCal applications, which can then sync to your iPhone.

When I activate photo streaming, iPhoto crashes and closes down. Any thoughts?

How can I use the templates in iPhoto to email my photos if I don't have a mobileMe account?

I have upgraded to iLife11 and want to use the cool templates to email photos. I don't have a mobileme account. It doesn't appear that I can Use the templates. Am I doing something wrong?

What do you mean by the AOL screen? Is AOL your ISP? If it is popping up to connect you to the internet that might be what is preventing you from composing an email. It also could be that AOL was set up as your default email client. Do you use AOL as an ISP/Email client?
In Mac OS X Lion (I can't vouch for any other version of Mac OS) to change your default mail viewer/client open up apple's mail app. Go to file->settings Under the general tab it's the top choice if it is set to AOL, you might want to switch it so you can get it to come up with the email you actually use. Also if you do use AOL, they should have a section in their help about setting up "pop3" email, or how to use AOL mail in outlook. Now the steps might not be the same as far as what menu choices you have to make, but what you're gonna get out of that section is incomming/out going server's and anything else like ports and etc. Apple's mail app needs all that same information.

On apple tv you can sign in to mobileme account but it wont allow me to, it says mobileme account could not be found. please help??

OK - I am trying to be rude either, just very frustrated.
I hope the OP is not put off and for her benefit I will post this.
If you are looking for galleries and have an otherwise functioning ATV2 read no further.
If you are trying to get your unit to work because:
1) You have selected to send feedback to Apple and then wanted to key in your mobile me address and failed, or
2) Tried to set the iTunes store by using your me address, because they are the same, or
3) You are trying to set up home sharing using your mobile me address
then as part of the set up process you will, having keyed in your .me address and password, have got the message that your mobile me account can not be found.
If you look under the general section, you have the option to set time zone. If this shows Cupertino and you have selected either "automatic time setting" or keyed in another town not on Pacific ST and you are not in Cupertino then date and time have not set.
You can unplug the unit and leave for a few minutes, you can select to reset and restore. You can check that your router allows access to the necessary ports (typically 53, 80, 123, 443, 3689 and UDP 5353).
If your Apple TV on reset and opening the ports, still hangs at "setting date and time," then you are one of a group of people being blocked access for some reason that is not being shared openly - other than my comment above about server issues at Apple's end. This is not malicious but just repeating information posted on this and other fora. I can not confirm or deny, but when every other option has been discounted then only certain solutions remain.
I wish you luck in getting your ATV to work as it should.
PS I don't think cables are an issue here as you obviously are seeing something on the screen to see that you can't log in.

Can't view photos in iphoto but I still can in Preview

Recently I changed some of the folder names of my photos in the iphoto library, but now when I want to view them in iphoto they are blank. I can still view them through Preview mode if I go through Finder, but that's a hassle. Also, the photos that I didn't change the folder name I can still view in iPhoto. I use iPhoto 5.
What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??

i Brian
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
1 - this is the iPhoto '08 forum - your question would be better placed in the iPhoto 5 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=850 - some things work differently and here people will assume that you have iPhoto '08 and the answers may not work on iPhoto 5
What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??
2 - You should NEVER modify the iPhoto library (or any other database structure for that matter) - you should ONLY use iPhoto to change things. At this time your two choices are to put things back exactly like they were or recreate your library which will lose your edits, albums, etc

I've got duplicates of photos in "Photos", Photo stream, Iphoto etc. what is going on?

I've go duplicates of photos on my devices in "Photos" and iPhoto that include icloud, Photo stream, camera roll, events, etc. etc. how do I manage theese duplicate files of photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community bissellfl.
If you mean the same photos appear in all these places, then that's what is supposed to happen. If you mean you have more than one of each photo in each album, then you' em possibly added them manually and had them add automatically. You'll need to remove them manually.

Photo Stream, iPhoto and events

Photo stream is not creating new "events" when it downloads photos. Instead, it has been putting new photos in an old event (same event every time). This started with the most recent iPhoto upgrade. Is there any way to fix this?

That's how it works. Otherwise you could have a thousand new Events every month.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways.

Photo streaming iphoto or Aperture

Is photo streaming to iPhoto faster than to Aperture 3.0 from the iPhone 4s?

both the same feature. The speed depends on network speed, not on App's speed.
But for Aperture ( 3.2 is the icloud version ) itself lots of Memory is needed. Certainly not useable under 4GB of Ram.

I donwloaded photoshop CS6 to my new iMac. Opened photoshop but cannot openn a photo from iPhoto library - I get a message that says cannot complete our request becausse photoshop does not recognize this type file.
Suggestions?

You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Error enabling photo stream "iphoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream"

Whenever I try to enable Photo Stream, it times out after awhile, and I get the following error: "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream." (see below [1]). I "tcpdump" shows that the computer is trying to open connections to akamai (unrelated?) but not apple. I am using iPhoto 9.2 build 626.
There is one oddity in this scenario : I have one iCloud account that I am trying to use between three computers. I was able to register iPhoto on my mac book pro, but it is failing on my second.
thanks in advance,

Good catch, nifmus. I'm kicking myself for not checking system.log earlier! I have very similar messages in mine.
By any chance is your Library folder (or part of it) relocated to a separate disk? Or your entire home folder? I have part of my Library folder on a SSD for speed, but my home folder and some of the larger Library subdirectories are on a regular disk because they wouldn't fit on the small SSD. It's all tied together with symbolic links, and without problems... until Photo Stream came along and didn't like it.
I knew that sandboxd was involved somehow, but your post prompted me to focus on it. It's definitely the problem here. I found the following sandbox profile file inside the iPhoto application bundle:
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app/Conten ts/Resources/PhotoStreamAgent.sb
Inside this file are a bunch of definitions to control what PhotoStreamAgent is allowed to do. There are a bunch of lines under an allow-file-write* declaration which should allow PhotoStreamAgent to write to the above files listed in your log. Lines such as:
(home-regex #"/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement")
(home-regex #"/Library/Preferences/com\.apple\.iLifeAssetManagement\.crash\.plist(\.[^/]+)? $")
And many others. In my case, I suspect that the problem may be related to the fact that the final absolute path of those files may differ from what you'd get if you just substituted my home directory in for "home-regex" since I have stuff relocated around. Although since I was able to get it working with a blank home directory, also put in place via a symbolic link (so the final path differs), I'm not 100% sure of this.
What I do know right now is that there is a quick "hack" that fixed it for me. I don't like the hack and would strongly recommend against it, because it's likely to break the next time there's a software update for iPhoto. But it works until I can find a permanent solution.
To make it work, I edited the above file and changed the second line from "(deny default)" to "(allow default)". This, of course, defeats the whole purpose of the sandbox by allowing PhotoStreamAgent to do anything it wants, but it also allows stuff that is really supposed to be allowed but fails anyway for us.
If you want to try this, it helps to be familiar with the unix underpinnings of OS X. There's probably a way to do it in the normal graphical user interface, but as a longtime unix guy, I just jumped to the command line and did a "sudo vi (that long filename)". To do it via the gui method, you'll have to navigate to that folder in Finder (quickest way is to hit Cmd-Shift-G and copy/paste the path, or right-click iPhoto and "Show Package Contents", then drill down to the file), edit the file, save a copy (because you don't have permission to modify it), then copy the new version over the old (it will ask for an admin password).
Again, I don't recommend this because it's likely to break in the future and defeats the security that Apple intended with the sandbox, but it's a quick fix. I'll continue to investigate as I have time, trying to find out precisely what's causing the failure with the default sandbox profile.

HT201077 I have sent invites to multiple ppl to my photo stream but no one received their invites. They are set up to receive invites to photo streams but it's still not working. Why?

I set up a photo stream that includes pics and videos and sent out invites. No one received their invites even tho it shows on my device that I have invited everyone. Everyone is set up to receive photo stream invites (I checked as we were all at the same event). I am using an iPhone 4. Has anyone else run into this problem?

I have this same issue - iPhone 4S running IOS 7.0.4...
eg; today I took 10 pix - only ONE went to the stream - annoying!

TS3989 My problem is that the photos won't load up in My Photo Stream. Something is wrong with my account (Apple ID). Because when I tried it with another account, it worked fine. This problem began when I deleted all the photos on My Photo Stream.

I once deleted all the photos on My Photo Stream, since then, it won't upload photos anymore.
If I share a stream, it works fine. But still, no photos on My Photo Stream.
I just tried another Apple ID on my iPhone and it worked nicely. So, I guess something went wrong when I deleted all the photos.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks.

This one was quick.
I deleted my Apple ID.
Tried a new Apple ID for it.
Deleted the newly created Apple ID which I had just created as a test.
Entered again my main Apple ID and... voilá.
It works again.
