Photos share not working

I've activated iCloud photo sharing in Photos, selected photos, clicked the little up-arrow in a box adn chosen "add to shared album," entered an email address and clicked "create," but: 1) when I click to see shared albums, nothing appears except the "start sharing" window and 2) the recipient didn't get the email.
I eventually retreated to iPhoto, which seems to have worked, but I was curious to see if others had the same problem. Thanks

Why not ask in the Photos forum

  • Itunes Match and Photo Share not working

    Since upgrading to new ios software I am no longer able to connect at all to photo stream. Also, when I try to turn on itunes match, its spinning as if its downloading my music,but its telling me that I have no music in my library. But, my itunes match works on every other device...etc computer iphone. I tried to do a system restore, but I keep getting a message saying updated was not successful. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Hey guys,
    This is an enormously frustrating issue and I am disappointed that it does not seem like Apple is taking it seriously, much less solving it.  I have seen a lot of people desperate to help and I have tried many of the solutions that made sense to me (repair iTunes; create Windows Firewall Exceptions) and ignored the ones that make no sense whatsoever (reboot your Internet gateway; deauthorize your computers).  I am on a Windows 7 x64 machine fully patched, single 8 core CPU with 24GB RAM and 6TB of storage - it ain't the machine...
    This seems to be a unique problem to iTunes 10.5.  Here is why I believe this to be true:
    1.  I disabled WFW No result.
    2.  I created WFW exceptions NO result at all.
    3.  I did a repair install of iTunes  - Actually worked for one night.
    4.  Uninstalled iTunes 10.5.  Installed iTunes 10.4 and everything works like a champ.
    Apple needs to solve this issue, I'm afraid until they do anything that gets you up and running is temporary.  In any case getting a consumer oriented click-to-install application should not require a project plan and customizations to work properly.  This is true even if WFW needs tweaking that simply tells me they didn't test their installer enough to ensure it properly configured WFW, including removing erroneous entries...not an issue on my machine...
    I am standing by for Apple to sort this out...until then 10.4 is my friend.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4 Photos Accelerometer not working

    I just received a new iPhone 4 and the Photos application appears to ignore the accelerometer and is always stuck in portrait mode. All other apps work fine, just Photos is not working. This is a new phone setup, not a restore from a previous phone. I have triple checked that the screen rotation lock is off and I've turned off photo sync in iTunes, deleted all photos and re-synced; it still does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
    If it still doesn't work, take it in to an apple store so the expert can test it out.

  • Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

    Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

    Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

    I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
    Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

  • 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.

  • HT4906 my i photo is not working how do i fix it?

    Hi Friends,
    I was unable to make DVD, so I went to apple Store and they downloaded Idvd for me, Now I can create DVD, but now i realize my I photo is not working.
    I stay far from Apple Store, and It is not convinient to visit the store again. I am trying to update softwear, but it is not working as the softwear was updated In apple store with support ID, so now If I go for softwear update, it is asking for same support login ID of the store which I do not have and in absense of it I am unable to update I photo.
    Is there any suggestions you can advise...

    You need to contact that store, because you will never be able to update without sorting out that login ID.
    What does "not working" mean?

  • How to upload from iphoto to icloud in title order using photo share (not photo stream)?

    I can get the albums within iphoto (V9.6) into title order, however when they are uploaded to icloud (photo share, not photo stream) they lose that order. Can the photo shared images on the icloud web link be uploaded/or organised into the order that I have painstakingly created?

    December 2014 Case Resolved by midnorthcoast
    I found Old Toad's remedy presented by Tedious Tom here Keeping desired order of photos when sharing on iCloud
    After labelling (titling) each of the 300 or so images carefully in numerical order I wanted to be sure that that's how they would be viewed once uploaded from iPhoto to Photo Share (not Photo Stream).  Note that I didn't want the ensuing iCloud weblink to be automatically emailed to others. I wanted to email the link personally. I find the automatic invitation's presentation confusing in regard to having to register to view the images or simply clicking the less obvious link. Plus I wanted the invitation to be more personal.
    Here's how I did it:
    Transferred images from Finder to their own album within iPhoto
    With the album open, made sure images were in title order,  View/Sort Photos/By Title
    Selected all images
    Followed Old Toad's advice (except I changed from 1 minute to 1 second),  Photos/Batch Change/Set Date/Add 1 second between each photo
    Shared with iCloud,  Share/iCloud
    Dialogue box comes up, Clicked on New photo stream
    Another dialogue box,  filled in one of my email addresses (not my iCloud identity), unticked Subscribers Can Post, ticked Public Website, clicked Share
    Opened iCloud within iPhoto and waited until finished uploading
    Highlighted the album, clicked Info, copied the weblink shown under Public Website and pasted into personal email invitations

  • Shared Photo Stream not working on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5

    I currently have a shared stream with my wife on my iPad and her iPhone. I want to share photo's with her from my MacBook. I have turned on photo stream in iCloud preferences and photo share in iPhoto preferences. I select the photo's to share in iPhoto, click on the share icon, then photo stream. Nothing happens, I don't get any option to add or create a shared photo stream. In the source list my photo stream in the latest category, I see in iCloud help it is in the Web category. Not sure if this is the problem. I just want to share photo's from my Macbook Pro.

    As far as I know, D2 will only work on legacy systems that do not run on intel processors. The game only works on the older PowerPC system, unfortunately.

  • IPhoto movie share not working...something is missing...

    I have a client with ML/iLife/iMac-all the latest updates for all. He has an iPhone 4 and took several movies. Via cable he has them in his library along with several still photos of the same location (Grand Canyon).
    On his iMac/iPhoto/Event his pictures and movies look great. Export the movie from iPhoto to the Pictures folder using "current" as the format puts a copy on the desktop. Plays great with Quicktime7 player.
    NOW...
    1-From within iPhoto choose the movie and "share via email (Mail is the default client app).
    2-From within Mail create a new email and attach the movie that was exported and send
    3-Using YouSendit send the movie to the destination (as a link) to be loaded on the target machine.
    On the other side
    1-Movie is present no sound or visual. Just black frames
    2-Same
    3-Same
    On th Mac I note VLC and another player(forget as I write). I think there is some translational issue/codec.
    In the end of the day I am looking to advise them of the simplest way to get from the iPhone movies to the ability to share via email such movies. Of note is the sharing goes to both Mac and PC clients. Photos via iPhoto works fine in this way. Expect that an mp4 file output would be the best format to accomplsh this.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they downoad the material to their machines to view.
