Replacing image in shared photo stream

Is there a way to replace a photo in a shared photo stream and keep the original place in the stream? The only way I can find is to delete it and re-upload, but this will place the photo as the last photo in the stream.

How to reorder images in Shared Photo Streams

I share several Photo Streams and when i add an image that is older it appears as the most recent not in the correct date order. Is there a way to correct this behaviour...... I undersand the principles of a Photo Stream but i am trying to use the Shared Streams as an online gallery where i want to control the displayed order.
Many thanks

Seems a little conterproductive.....
A shared stream is meant to be a stream and not an on-line gallery. You are supposed to drop a photo into the stream every now and than to send to your friends and family, and they will send their photos back. Only, since it is the only way supported by Apple to keep an online album of photos in iCloud, we all want to use it differently from how it has been intended.
Send feedback to Apple with a feature request - hopefully the next version of shared streams will allow sorting of the items.

Shared Photo Stream Image Order

Has anyone figured out how to alter the order of a shared photo stream? I added a set of select images to my stream via Aperture and they display out of order on my iPhone/iPad. They also display out of order for those who subscribe to my stream. The order seems randomn - not how I ordered them in Aperture and not ordered by name or time.

I believe pvonk is correct, at least for now. Very unfortunate.

Shared photo Stream - saved imaged doesn't seem to seemlessly update on all my devices

Hi
I have recently updated both my iphone 5s and my ipad to ios 8
I saved an image from a shared photo stream on my iphone (via the save image button) - on my iphone this is in my recent items and in my photos (collections/years). This however doesn't seem to stream across to my ipad and I thought it should. To see it in my ipad photos I have to save it on my ipad too which seems a little crazy. If I delete this from my iphone, all I get is a delete option, not a delete with the warning that this will also delete from my photo stream, so I am pretty certain this isn't streaming! I know I could just view this via the share photo stream, but it is a photo I wish to keep forever. Anywork arounds apart from what I am already doing?
Is this a bug in ios8? I have never had a problem doing it this way before and always managed to get this in my photo stream before
Thanks so much

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

How to add a caption to photo in shared photo stream?

Hi @all,
I hope I am not right but there is no option of using the description/caption for a photo in my iPhoto library when I share it with other people in a photo stream?
All I found was that you can use the comment field to add a caption-like text to each photo. But when I create a slideshow within iPhoto I then cannot use this comment text as a caption for the slideshow. This is completely useless to me as I would have to copy all my captions from the description field to the comment field to show them in a shared photo stream. Who at Apple came up with that idea? I might be wrong but isn't the caption feature one of the most important features when you share photos with other people? How should a fried know what a shared photo shows if I cannot add a descriptive caption to it?
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
there is no way to add captions, only the comments box in the Shared Stream.
See this discussion: Re: How do I get photo descriptions to show on photos uploaded to Photo Stream?
The only textual annotation that can be streamed as part of the metadata of the shared photo is the filename (or EXIF tags you added to the file in your camera or with other programs, like the copyright notice). So, to transfer a caption with your streamed photo, replace the filename by a caption. You can do that in iPhoto by exporting your photos using "File > Export" and selecting "Filename > Use Title" in the export panel. This will use your current titles as the filenames. Then reimport the exported photos and share the reimported photos with the changed filenames. You can delete the reimported files from the library after sharing them, but don't delete them from the stream.

Shared photo streams don't appear anymore after icloud account change

Hi guys,
I've two icloud accounts: account A and account B.
Some days ago I switched my main icloud account (on my iPhone) from Account A to Account B.
Today I come back to Account A, and I expected to have again in my iphone all the Shared photo streams I had (both created by me and subscribed).
Instead in my iphone I cannot find any of my streamed stuff.
Can you help me to find again my streams?
Thanks!

I attach four screenshots Yann - one is the project hierarchy - where you'll see PhotoStream appearing in Recent items, but not under the Web section (where you do see Facebook) and the other the preferences pane for PhotoStream in Aperture showing all three boxes checked.
Attachments one and two are from my wife's computer - where she's not seeing shared PhotoStreams.
Attachments three and four are from my computer - we I do see them.
What I notice when I compare these side by side is that there is a difference in the setting panel for photo stream between the two. Mine has a fourth option for shared photo streams - my wife's doesn't.
Yet both s/w versions for Aperture are 3.4.5. There is a difference in what is listed in the Aperture version after the version number, but both computers are fully up to date with no further updates available. (Final two images first my wife's then my s/w version)
Is your view/settings any different?

How to permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream on a windows pc

I've got the Icloud control panel installed on a windows7 pc. On this specific pc I only want My Photostream running. I've tried to disable the Shared Photo Stream - but when I log off my windows user account an then log in again, the checkmark next to the Shared photo Stream is back, and iCloud starts again downloading the shared stream. How can I stop this behavior? I want to permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream.

Try this method of duplication:
<font "size=+1">Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

Photo titles in shared Photo Streams?

I have started to use shared Photo Streams, but find that my carefully constructed titles are not transferred to the Photo Stream – each photo appears with its original alphanumerical identifier.
Is there a way I can get photos to keep their titles?

Hi sbgsb,
As long as I have used iPhoto, titles you give images in iPhoto stay within iPhoto. they have never changed in the Finder.
To burn a roll of photos:
click on the roll title to highlight the photos in the roll
Got to File>export
In the export window choose "title" as the naming scheme
Create new folder on desktop
Export into that folder
Burn that folder

Can't see shared photo streams in Aperture

I have created a number of photo streams and shared them with my wife.
My wife has accepted the streams and can see them on her iPhone.
She uses Aperture on the Mac but cannot see the streams there.
She has the three checkboxes on the photo streams tab checked, and her own photo stream is visible.
Under the web section in the Aperture library browser, photo stream doesn't appear - her Facebook entry shows up, but not photo stream.
Photo stream shows in the recent section of the library browser, but that is just the photos in my wife's own photo stream, you don't see the individual streams that I can see under photo stream under web in my Aperture view.
My wife has photo stream checked in settings -> iCloud on her Mac.
Any suggestions?

Shared photo streams when changing devices

My daughter and I are swapping iPhone 5's (black & white). I am curious what will happen to my photo streams and shared photo streams? I am backing up via iCloud. Will they be on our new devices after we restore or will we lose all of them. Would the contents of the restore be any different if I backup/restore with iTunes?

Welcome to the Apple Community bgl.
Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account and enable photo stream to see your photo stream photos.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Shared photo stream gone from iOS but still on laptop

I own a shared photo stream that was created on my iPhone. Sometime in the past few hours it disappeared from my phone, iPad and the other iPhone under my Apple ID. However it still shows on my laptop and is up to date. How can I get it back on my iOS devices?

If these photos are precious, it's worth considering purchasing a file recovery program. I accidently deleted a whole batch of emails and I bought online and used an application called FileSalvage (about £50) which recovers all types of files. You can select it to just look for image files and then just recover those.
If so, limit your use of your Mac as of now, as you will be writing data to your hard disk all the time when saving and potentially write over picture data that's sitting on your hard disk.
Although Mail's .emix file format is not a common file type, it did the job, so image files will be easy.

Shared Photo Stream Query

Hi,
I'm loving the new shared photo-stream in iOS 6.
Quick query though:
As an example - Let's say I've created a shared photo stream called 'family' which I've created from 5 photos I want to share with family members. I created the original shared album 2 days ago. I have now taken another photo which I want to add to the existing shared album but, having clicked share on the photo it only gives me the option to create a new shared album or add the photo to empty shared photo stream albums I've created. The shared album I want to add to doesn't show.
Am I missing something or can you not add further images. I've seen videos which seem to suggest you can add and subtract from shared photo stream albums but I can't see how.
Help please!

I think you are under impression that your wife can share photos, or make changes to your photostream. When IOS 7 comes out this fall that would be an option. At that point in order for her to share pictures with you she HAS to create and share photostream as well. That is what was missing from your description. That is if I am correct.

Photos-App: How do I find out which photos are used in a Shared Photo Stream?

Hi folks,
I just ecountered a “problem“ using a Shared Photo Stream.
FYI: I have circa 1.200 images stored in Photos-App. About 360 of them are used in a Shared Photo Stream.
Now I'd like to delete all the fotos NOT used in said Stream.
Since the images in said Stream are not in the same order as they were originally taken, there are also many images between the ones used.
So now I am confronted with the time-consuming task of comparing and deleting the photos, switching between Stream and Album/webview all the time.
And do it all by hand. Naaaaaaaah! ):
Any ideas on how to speed up this whole process?
(I already wrote Apple to maybe add a label or icon to the photos used in a Stream (when in any other view) so it gets easier to identify the right ones.)
Greets, Tim

Incorrect. Photos added to the Camera Roll are automatically uploaded to Photo Stream. Photos deleted from the Camera Roll are not automatically deleted from Photo Stream.

Updated a shared photo stream

After sharing a photo stream with a non-iOS user and then I add new photos to the same shared stream, do the individuals I am sharing with get another email to inform them of the new photos that were added to the shared photo stream?

Karl,
no, adjustments added after you shared an image to a stream, will not be updated in the stream.
Share the image again after updating it and delete the previous version from the stream.
Regards
Léonie
