Photo stream trouble

My pics aren't streaming over through icloud even though its enabled to do so, any ideas as to why

Photo Stream only works with photos that you take after you enable it on all of your devices. Are you trying to use Photo Stream with previously taken photos -  or photos that you took after you turned on Photo Stream?

    cant enable photostream in Mac.  But it works on ipad and iphone

    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.

  • Trouble creating shared photo streams

    A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
    Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
    Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
    The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
    Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
    The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
    Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
    There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
    In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
    None of this seems to make any sense.
    Thanks,

  • HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

    I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Youre trying to delete photos from someone else's shared photostream. You can only delete photos that belong to you.

  • Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

    Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.  Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled.  When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos.  Is there a 64 bit version?

    Hello tw_mama,
    I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
    This section in particluar:
    I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • TS3989 Trouble w/ photo stream.

    Hi, I'm having some trouble w/ iCloud photo stream. I have photo stream enabled on my iPhone and the pictures apear in the photo stream album in my iPhone, I'm also conected to my office wifi, but when I check my macbook the pics don't sync. I don't know how to check online if the pictures are actually in my iCloud account. I'm sure iCloud is properly set up because my contacts are already synced. however i've added new contacts and the new contacts don't appear on my mac or on the cloud. SOMEONE HELP!!!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Are you actually logged into the same iCloud accounts on both devices, are all the services that you require to use checked in iCloud on both devices.

  • Trouble with sharing photo streams.

    Hello,
    A while ago my friend and I have created this shared photo stream album so we can stay in touch while I travel. Everything was working just fine but suddenly I noticed that the pictures I was sending weren't going through for some reason. So I tried sharing another one again.. But she is not receiving any of my emails and when she does, after pressing "Join this shared photo stream" it says that my photo stream isn't shared anymore. So now I can't share or anyone can share photo streams with me! I don't know why this is happening. I did some research and I couldn't find a topic for this problem. PLEASE HELP ME !!!! I AM DESPERATE!
                   Thanks in advanced.

  • HT201077 trouble inviting to view photo stream

    Hello,
    I set up a Shared Photo Stream album but a new iPhone 5 user from my contacts does not appear as a valid option?

    Do your have their email address in your contacts?  If not, you can't select them as a subscriber.

  • HT4906 Trouble Syncing Photo Stream with iPad

    I am using 9.1.5 latest iPhoto yet I am unable to set Photo Stream in iMac system preferences. I am running 10.7.2? Any additional thoughts? The Photo Stream icon in iCloud preferences is grayed out. "iPhoto udate requiered" Puzzled

    9.1.5 is not the latest iPhoto. 9.2.3 is, and you need 9.2 minumum and 10.7.4 for Photostream. So, run Softeare Update.

  • Trouble uploading photos to the Iphone from the upload folder in photos stream.

    Hello,
    I started to use photostream just a few days ago. I turned on in the Icoud contro panel in my pc, and I also turn it on in my Iphone 4. It works perfect when the pictures are taken with the device. I mean, i take pictures, and when Im on wifi, they go to the photostream album, and then i can find them in the "my photo stream" foder in the pc. Smooth.
    But it doesent work the other way around. The pictures that I have in my coputer, when i copy them in the upload folder, they do not go to the phone. It doesent matter whats the size of the picture, they just wont go anyhere.
    I trid several times. I erased all the pictures from the uplload folder, and started copying one by one, waiting several hours between pictures to see if they go to the phone, but they dont. i turned the photostream off in the device and in the pc, and turned it back on, only to see the same outcome, pictuers taken with the ophone go to the pc, bur pictures in the pc dont do to the phone.
    Please, anybody can help me withg this?
    My pc is running windows 7, and my phone hast the latest ios5 update (by the way, it didnt do much with the battery life)
    Thanks to all.

    Hi. Just to let you know your not the only one with this problem. More likely millions have the same disappointment. I have tried everything and spent about 12 hours with no luck. Hope apple sort it soon.

  • Trouble accepting invitation to a photo stream on iCloud for PC

    My father used to have an iPhone so he has a valid Apple ID already. He still wants to be able to be a part of the photo streams my family is creating and showing nowadays. We downloaded iCloud Control Panel for his Windows 8 laptop and all of the photo streams he was previously subscribed to show up. However, when I sent him an invite to the newest photo stream we can't figure out how to join it. When we click the "subscribe" button in the email he receives it pulls up a new page that says "To subscribe to...photo stream on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, open your invitation in the Mail app, and click the Subscribe button in the message.", nothing about how to subscribe on PC. We could really use some help! We need to know how to subscribe to a photo stream on iCloud for a Windows 8 PC.
    Thanks!

    A video cannot be saved from within a shared stream.

  • Trouble adding photos manually to photo stream

    neither dragging photo from event/album into photostream nor sharing photo into photostream worked.
    can someone help? thanks!

    I've done all of the above and no luck. "ICloud Photo Library" and "Upload to My Photo Stream" both have their sliders set to the right, they are showing green and they are turened on.
    If I download to my IPad using Sony's Play Memories software the pictures do appear in my ICloud photo library. However, when Aperture uploads photos from an album to photo stream they do appear in photo stream on Aperture, but not in the ICloud Photo Library on my IOS 8.1 devices..

  • I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. I Do Not want to Loose any photos or albums by deleting them from my phone and not backing them up correctly. My iCloud backup is only storing my "Photo Stream" and I can not locate them in iTunes after I sync/Back up.

    I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. My storage is almost full on my phone. There are only 80 mg available. I am new to icloud and also have always had trouble navigating around iTunes. (Even after endlessly reading through support and help topics as well as calling)   My concern is about Not Losing any of my photos if I delete them from my phone. I have to delete a large portion of my camera roll as well as the Album Folders I have created. Although it would be great if there was a way to just keep my albums still. I have already backed them up to an external hard-drive, my computer and a geek stick. I'm not trying to be too paranoid about these photos, but, they are all of my 3 children. There are over 4000 pictures stored on my phone. Some photos go back as far as 2009.   Can you offer any information about backing up my Camera Roll, not just "Photo Stream", and albums I've created On my phone? I read that it's good to back photos up on both iTunes as well as icloud. I even purchased extra icloud storage to back them all up.   I do regularly back up/sync, my phone to my computers.   However, I cannot even locate where they are stored on iTunes, let alone look at them. And as far as my iCloud backup, it only stores the new pictures from "Photo Stream".   Please offer any advice you may have. I do not use up a lot of storage on my phone other than Photos and Contacts (it's a work phone).   I would definitely be able to sleep better knowing my children can one day see these pictures of themselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you,

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

    I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources  but I cant. 
    I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing,  storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
    This is what I and my family currently have:
    Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
    Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
    Libraries:
    1)  Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
    a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL   devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
    b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
    2)  Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
    a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
    b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
    c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
    Other documents:
    iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
    a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
    b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
    c) Store private documents (One instance)  on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
    d) Backup of local documents?
    Apps:
    iOS apps:
    a) Share purchased apps?
    b) Not share private apps.
    Storage:
    What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
    a) iCloud storage for everyone?
    b) iTunes Match for everyone?
    c) All of the above?
    Conclusion:
    It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hey there!
    You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
    If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.
