Photo Stream and MobileMe in iPhoto: I don't get it!

Hi
Photo Stream is on for iPhoto on my iMac, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch.
I'm somewhat confused about how to handle this feature - aside from the basic understanding that it syncs photos I take, say, on my iPhone, to all other devices without the need to manually sync.
Could someone please confirm / suggest answers to the following;
1) photos I take on my iPhone are shown in my camera roll and under a separate photo stream roll. I understand that photo stream on iOS devices holds the last 1000 images taken (unless you delete some following iOS 5.1). Correct?
2) my iPhoto library on my iMac stores 100% of the photo stream photos thereby negating the need to manually sync my iPhone (which I use to take photos) with iMac. Correct again?
3) Under 'Events' on iPhoto (iMac) it seems to create a new 'event' every month (and christens it, say, as 'March 2012 photo stream' for example) which holds that months images taken.
a) the folders appear in the top left hand corner of the 'Events' page which I don't like as all other events are shown in chronological order (i.e. the latest 'event' being in the bottom right corner of the page). Can I do anything about this, as in set it so that the photo stream folders create themselves at the bottom of the screen after the previous last event?
b) These monthly 'events' are just that; events that have happened within that last month which could comprise of several different events. I categorise by actual event rather than everything that has happened within a particular time frame. This therefore immediately conflicts with photo stream. I presume I am perhaps meant to select certain 'events' within the month's photo stream and then create a new 'event' from that but I don't know how to do this? Could anyone advise how / what they do?
4) I had a MobileMe account which expired last year. Instead of resurrecting the email address for my iCloud account I chose a slightly different one. This seems to pose a problem as under 'Albums' I have several MobileMe albums which generate a pop-up box asking me to log in. As my MobileMe account is expired, the password prompt is not accepted. I therefore can't share my photos as I previously did. Is there a work-around?
Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. a: View Menu -> Sort Events
3. b Flag the photos you want to move and go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos

Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto? Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library. However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library. Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream? if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

HT4906 How can I get Photo Stream to work in iPhoto on my iMac?

Photo Stream folder acts as if it has never been used. Yellow box shows directions on how to get started. Even though I have had it working successfully in the past, I tried each of the methods. No luck.
I have gone through the process of verifying that photo stream is turned on properly on all devices (iPhone 5, iPad (original), and iMac (2011). If I download from my camera, all pictures show up on iPhone and iPad, but not in Photo Stream folder on iMac iPhoto. The date after the title "Photo Stream" shows December 5, 2011. (That's probably when I started using this iMac).

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then check the iPhoto/Photo Stream preference pane to make sure the necessary checkboxes are checked.

Photo stream all go to iphoto not other ios

Hello,
We have a few iDevices in our family, tied to a single Apple ID/iCloud account, and also an iMac at home. What I would like to be able to do is have all the photos taken with any of our iDevices 'flow' via the Photo Stream to iPhoto on our Mac. However, I don't really need/want to have those same pic's copied to our other iOS devices. It makes for a neat demo trick, but we simply don't have the free space on them to hold duplicate photos. So, metaphotically speaking, we'd like have the iOS Photo 'Streams' meet at the iMac iPhoto River at home.
Seems like simple concept, but I haven't been able to see exactly to do this. All the FAQ's continue to tout the photo copies flowing to 'all my devices'.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Chris,
If you have iCloud signed on on your Mac, and Photo Stream turned on, then the Photo Stream will be in iPhoto under the Web section. If in iPhoto go to Preferences>Photo Stream, and click on the "Automatic Import" option, it will automatically import your monthly photo stream into your iPhoto library.
You must have Photo Stream turned on on all of your devices to make this happen, however. But having the Photo Stream on the device does not take up any room. The photos are housed in iCloud, so having them in both your Camera Roll and Photo Stream is not taking up more room.
Cheers,
GB

I can no longer share photos to Photo Stream on my iMac (iPhoto)

Hi!
It seems I can no longer share photos to Photo Stream on my iMac. It works just fine from my iPhone - I can see the photos appear in Photo Stream in iPhoto on my iMac, but no dice the other way around.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

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. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Photo stream not updating in iPhoto

Photos that I take on my iPhone 4 are showing up in the Photo Stream on that device and on my iPad but not in iPhoto, at least not for a long time (hours or days). Quitting and restarting iPhoto doesn't help. Yes, Photo Stream is turned on in iPhoto preferences, with automatic uploading enabled. Any clue how to force it to show all my recent photos?

I was able to force a download of my photostream by disabling Automatic Import and Automatic Upload in Preferences>Photostream.

Photo stream in aperture and iphoto are not working for me.

Can anyone help? I have been getting this message on Iphoto 11 9.2 (626) "iphoto was unable to connect to photo stream" and in Aperture "aperture was unable to connect to photo stream" everything is working on icloud except this.

Well, after banging my head on this for a few weeks, I looked at my logs.
PhotoStreamAgent was crashing over and over again.
Looked araound a bit, found nothing.
So, I removed all the PhotoStream related files from ~/Library/Prefereces/com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
Please do this at your own risk. It worked fine for me. I looked at the files before running this and saw nothing I couldn't live without. Figured, worst case I wiped out iCloud settings, and set them up again (which I've already done anyway trying to resovle this).
Open up a terminal (you should probably stop here if you don't know how to do that, but it's in Applications > Utilities)
cd Library/Preferences
ls com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
The last line will show you the files we're about to delete. You can stop now if you see something important.
Lastly:
rm com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
Go turn on Photo Stream in System Preferences and try again in Aperture. Worked first try for me after nothing else had.

Photo stream not working in iPhoto

I enabled icloud in iphoto but only a few photos come thru in "My Photo Stream." My shared photo streams with other people show up but no photos are showing up in the shared streams. It shows 0 photos in all of them but on my devices all my streams (shared or just my photo stream) are fine. Please help! It's frustrating!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
is your profile signature above still valid?
I enabled icloud in iphoto but only a few photos come thru in "My Photo Stream."
My Photo Stream will only show the recent photos that are currently in iCloud, after you turn it on, - the photos added during the last 30 thirty days, and at most 1000 photos.
My shared photo streams with other people show up but no photos are showing up in the shared streams. It shows 0 photos in all of them but on my devices all my streams (shared or just my photo stream) are fine. Please help!
The Shared streams will take some time to populate. After the Yosemite upgrade I had to wait for a full day, until the shared streams showed the photos. If the do not show up after some more waiting, disable "Photos" in the iCloud System Preferences, restart the Mac, and turn it on again. Then enable it also in iPhoto again.

Can't select photo stream and Facebook in iphoto

I don't know why, on the side of iPhoto where we can select the library, we got a section call WEB, where we got our Photo Stream and Facebook account.
I don't know why but I can't select those two facebook account and Photo Stream to see and manage the photos that are in those section. I click on it and nothing happen.
But I can share with the share button at the bottom to those sections
Can someone can tell me why I can't select those sections?
I got iPhoto 9.4 and Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.

Deleting from Photo Stream now possible in iPhoto 9.2.2

Just downloading the new iPhoto 9.2.2
It claims "Photos können jetzt aus dem Photo Stream gelöscht werden". (You now can delete Photos from Photo Stream) - I hope we will be seeing this soon in Aperture, too - finally.

iPhoto? I'm not sure why you are referring to iPhoto.
Because I want to be able to edit the Photo Stream on my Mac using a decently sized screen. Most of the pictures in my Photo Stream are added when I import from my camera on one of my macs, and I use the stream to transfer them to my other macs.
But thanks for pointing out that you now can edit the stream on your mobile devices as well, very helpful, but I like to see an image at a better resolution before I delete it.
I didn't try deleting from Aperture, but I assume it would work the same. Did you try deleting your photos in Aperture first? That didn't work?
You are an optimist
Until recently it has been impossible to edit the Photo Stream on any device; since day before yesterday you can do it in iPhoto, but still not in Aperture.
Cheers

Shared Photo Streams not appearing in iPhoto.

I have a few Photo Streams that were recently shared with me. I can access them fine on my iPhone. When I am on my MacBook Air however, these Photo Stream folders are no where to be found.
I followed this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989 and more specifically double checked these instructions:
I don't see any photos or shared photo streams in the Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Check the following:
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud, and make sure the Photo Stream checkbox is enabled.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, choose Preferences > Photo Stream.
If you are using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that both the My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams checkboxes are selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
If you are using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import are selected.
Make sure your Mac has an an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
Everything was set up as suggested above.
My Macbook is on iPhoto 9.2.3, with OS 10.7.5
My iPhone is on 6.1.3
Additionally, when i view photos from a shared photo stream folder on my phone and then select to save one of the photos to my Camera roll, the photo is still not syncing to my Photo stream on the Mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Larry,
Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd... I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums. Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both. The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other! I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account. Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
Hardware/Software Specs:
MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
Aperture 3.5.1
iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
Note: I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that. Figured it's worth a shot!!

Photo Stream activation fails in iPhoto and Aperture

Hi,
i've just updated to OSX 1.7.2 on my iMac and MBA and to iOS5 on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Everything basically works well except the iCloud photo stream on my mac.
iPhone and iPad play well and push and pull fotos from the photo stream.
On the mac i can't activate the photo stream. I've updated iPhoto and Aperture but when i try to activate the photo stream it says that it's unable to reach the photo stream. I've already logged out from i cloud and re logged in again but that didn't help. iPhoto and Aperture are the latest versions.
Anyone with an idea?
Addition: Activation works well on another iMac with another iCloud account from my girl friend (in the same local network), i've also double checked little snitch isn't blocking anything.
Addition 2: It also works on my MBA with the same iCloud account that doesn't work on the iMac. Weird,

I'm fairly certain that it's an account-wide preference. You could always enable a second user account, turn on Fast User Switching, and only swap to that account to launch iPhoto and do your Photo Stream business.

Photo Stream; Different Accounts for iPhoto and Aperture

Is it possible to setup Photo Stream in Aperture with one Apple ID and iPhoto with another Apple ID? So that I can get photos from two different accounts, without having to simply turn Photo Stream on and off inside Aperture? Or is the Photo Stream account a global function inside OS X?
I'd rather ask, then test it out and mess up my Photo Stream accounts.

I'm fairly certain that it's an account-wide preference. You could always enable a second user account, turn on Fast User Switching, and only swap to that account to launch iPhoto and do your Photo Stream business.

Photo Stream is on in iPhoto 9.2 BUT
