Photo Stream not working on the Mac

Photo Stream is working on my iPhone, iPad and MBP but can not get to work on my iMac. Everything is turned on. Any suggestions?

On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud.
Switch Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iMac.
If that doesn't help, try here > Resetting your Photo Stream

  • Photo Stream not working on my Mac since upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I've noticed that Photo Stream isn't downloading new photos that I've taken on my iPhone since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. My iPad is syncing just fine. I've tried both iPhoto and Aperture on my Mac, neither seem to be receiving new photos in the stream. Also, I deleted a bunch of photos from my stream inside Aperture, those deletes haven't propagated to my other iOS devices.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there is a known workaround?

    I should've tried this before posting: In iCloud preferences (in System Preferences), I turned off Photo Stream and then turned it back on again. It now appears to be working.

  • Photo stream not working after upgrading to maverick please help?

    photo stream not working
    everything slow
    any ideas?

    On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

    I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

    From the Safari menu bar, select

    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • Shared Photo Stream not showing video on Mac

    Hi,
    I can now see videos in my shared Photo Stream using IOS7 so that seems to be working fine. I can also see the video when viewing the public website for the shared Photo Stream. However, for the same shared Photo Stream I cannot see the video on my Mac using iPhoto. Is that supposed to work now too?
    Thanks,

    I am not aware that video is supported - and do not find any documentation saying so - there is documentation updated on Sept 18 saying that it does not - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
    My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream does not work with video.
    Wherer are you seeing that it is supported?
    I do see some editorial material indicating that it is and in those there is no mention o fthe Ma - only IOS 7 and Apple TV version 6
    http://teachmeios.com/apple-introduces-video-sharing-via-photo-stream-in-ios-7-a nd-apple-tv-6-0/
    So I'm not sure how it is suppose tto work but for not it appears that it is not for the Mac based on the limited info I've found

  • 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.

  • HT201317 Photo stream not working on all photos

    Why does the iPhone not always send photos I ve taken to iCloud or to my iPad ? Does iCloud/photo stream really work? Never worked properly for me..... Some do and most of time don t . Both have been in the same room to pick up wifi for over 48 hours and still not all photos sync

    PhotoStream will only upload newly taken pictures. All older pictures or pictures that existed before adding/enabling photostream will not be affected/uploaded. Also PhotoStream will not function if the devices battery is under 20% battery. To troubleshoot, open the task manager and exit photos/gallery and then re-open/recheck.

  • Iphone photo stream not working

    Hi,
    A few days ago I discovered that Photo Stream has stopped working between me and my wife. She has an iPhone 4, I have an iPhone 4S, we both run iOS 6.0.1
    We have each set up a Photo Stream and invited each other to them so that we can share pictures with each other. This worked flawlessly before but 2 days ago it stoped working with us changing nothing. Apple says the Photo Stream is online and the lack of discussions on tech blogs tells me this is not a general problem. But it is still a problem for us.
    My wife even tried removing me from the Photo Stream she had set up for me and then re-invited me but I never even got the invitation.
    Has anyone else run into this problem? How did you solve it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, it might now have.
    Today my wife tried sending me 2 pictures with on the photo stream she shares with me and they never showed up. After I got home I tried rebooting both phones again but this time that didn't solve it. This is starting to annoy me. I mean the thing about Apple stuff is that it's supposed to "just work". I'm seeing more and more examples of that not holding true.

  • All photos in icloud photo stream not saved in local mac library

    Basically, I have a shared icloud photo stream that is 1003 pictures, if I select all of them and say show in library, it only highlights 992 pictures on my local drive. Is there any way I can reimport a photostream?

    Hello asbreck,
    You can use these steps to reimport photos from a Shared Photo Stream. 
    To save photos from shared photo streams you subscribe to:
    Photos in shared photo streams are view-only. However, you can import the photos into your iPhoto library, apply edits, share the updated photos, and add them to your slideshows and books.
    In the Source list, select Photo Stream.
    Double-click the shared stream containing the photos you want to save.
    Select the photos.
    Import the photos into your library by dragging them to Events in the Source list.
    iPhoto '11: Subscribe to shared photo streams
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11959
    It's important to note that if some of these pictures are already in your library and you reimport them, you will have a duplicate of the picture.  If you can isolate the 11 pictures that are not in your library, I recommend importing just those 11 photos.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Photo Streaming not working on new iPhone 4s

    Hi guys,
    I just got my new iPhone 4s and turned Photo Streaming on, in the iCloud prefs, but nothing happens. I chose to backmy iPhone from iCloud instead of my computer. I have double checked that I'm linking the correct iCloud account, that I'm on a wifi network and on my other devices(AppleTV and iPad) Photo streaming works fine.
    Any ideas?

    Photo Stream only works over WiFi, so are you connected to WiFi?

  • Photo Stream not working on Windows in a Virtual Machine, but not on my Mac

    Hi there,
    since yesterday I tried to connect to Photo Stream with my Mac, but I can't. It works fine in my Windows 7 Virtual Machine with the iCloud software, it works fine on my iPhone 4S. The iCloud System Status suggests that all services work just fine.
    However, as soon as I try to activate Photo Stream in iPhoto 9.2 (626) (App Store version, confirmed latest version) or Aperture 3.2 (non App Store version, confirmed latest version), I am presented with the message, which roughly translates to "Activating Photostream... iPhoto couldn't connect to Photostream", with an "Abort" button as the only option.
    All other iCloud features work perfectly fine for me. Any suggestiosn?
    Thanks!

    confirm that it is activated in icloud preference pane ( System-Settings ) like this :

  • Why is my photo stream not showing all the pictures on my mac?

    I just got a mac and im trying to save photos from my iphone over to my mac, the photos are in my iphone's photostream, however when i get onto my macs they dont show up, it shows a good majority but a handfull just arent there. is there any way to fix this ?

    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.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
