Shared Photo stream doesn't work? (note: Photostream does)

I Have the new 5s and I set up iCloud. My Photo Stream works fine. If I take pictures on my iPad, they show up on my iphone no problem.
BUT I noticed that none of the SHARED photo albums I had before are showing up on my iPhone. Also, if I create a shared album and send out invites, no one receives the invites.
And before anyone says anything, ALL photo stream and photo sharing settings are turned ON. I even tried deleting my iCloud account off of my iphone and re-adding it. No luck there.

Having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Photo stream doesn't work , wen I take photo, photos doesn't appear in photo stream

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
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.

Photo stream doesn't work on my PC

My photo stream doesn't work on my PC. I'm signed in, and have photo stream on, but it won't load any of my photos.

Okay several views and no replies later I did some more research myself and tried something different.
I reset my photo stream following these directions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
Then I went into iCloud control panel on my laptop and signed out it told me photostream was turned off and the folder my pictures were stored in. I looked and saw a picture I took this morning in there YAY. So I then signed into iCloud again and turned photostream back on and took a picture with my iPhone and now my photos are streaming again.
Hope this helps someone else.

Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

HT201077 My shared photo stream originally was working.

My shared photo stream originally was working. But then the person I was sharing with sent me a shared photo stream. I never got it and now the stream I sent to her no longer updates with photos I've added to it. Has anyone experienced this and figured out a fix?

I should have mentioned that they were all showing ok last night, but this morning when I checked only 9 out of 60 are showing. I even deleted just one or 2 from my iPhone at first, made sure they were still showing in the stream, before deleting the rest. So can't understand now where the missing ones have gone?

Shared photo streams on/off switch not visible

Just trying to set up Shared Phot Streams on my iPad and my parents.
Got as far as setting one up on ours, and the email has arrived OK on my parents, with a link to Join this Photo Stream.
When I click on the link, I get a prompt to Join this Photo Stream, and a message saying that Shared Photo Streams needs to be switched on.
But in the settings the option to turn on Shared Photo Streams (that I can see on our iPad) is not there, so I can't turn it on.
As far as I know iCloud is all set up, as I've got Messages and FaceTime all working.
Any help with what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I had tried switching off and on again without any luck.
But logging out of iCloud and back in again did the trick. Weird.
Parents who live in the middle of nowhere suitably impressed.

Shared photo stream no longer working. Please help

I was making shared photo streams on my MacBook Pro, iPhoto 9.5, Mavericks, no problem. The past week, 90% of the time, it fails. I have tried dragging photos into iCloud, and now the photos are not even accepted. Please help. Tons of photos to save (also save on Carbonite), but want them in iCloud to share with family.

Tons of photos - have you perhaps exceeded one of the the limits? Then you wll have to wait a bit, see:

Shared Photo Stream won't work

I am trying to create a Shared Photo Stream with my iPad. I have successfully followed available instructions to the point of inviting my wife to subscribe to the Photo Stream and having her subscribe. The problem arises when the Shared Photo Stream icon appears on her iMac - clicking on it to open the Photo Stream always reveals that there are no photos in the Photo Stream. This occurs even though the first step in the process is to select a photo for sharing via Photo Stream. We encounter the same problem when she tries to create a Shared Photo Stream on the iMac and invites me to subscribe - everything works as expected except the Photo Stream has no photos in it for the subscriber to view. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Photo stream doesn't work

Dear all,
I make a photo (on Iphone 4 or Ipad2) and these photos do not appear anywhere else, while Photo stream is put On. on all three devices (ipad, iPhone, Mac Book Pro iPhoto). Do I miss a button? Is it because I migrated from mobileme to iCloud? I have no clue! Please help.

I followed your advise, but it doesn't work. Photos made with iPad works now (after putting all photo stream on and off), but iPhone 4 is not photostreaming at all (also not after redoing what you advised), also iPad photo does not appear on iPhone 4.
Strange is that i see two icloud photostream albums in Photo application (both (staying) empty). I can imagine there is a conflict with the two icloud accounts (i first used apple id for buying in itunes (hoped to merge) and than rethought and activated icloud (mobileMe) account instead. Could that be the problem? And how to get rid of that (restarting iPhone didn't work, a reset I am not fond of, nore a restore.
Who knows the answer?

TS3989 'Options' button for Photo Stream doesn't work?

Photo Stream doesn't work on Windows 7 (64-bit)

I installed Photo Stream and it just doesn't work. Are there any additional steps I have to take? I see "Photo Stream" icon in "My Computer" but photos are not syncing. iOS 6.1.3, iPhone 4S.

If you are needing more drivers and Lenovo utilities I suggest you download and install ThinkVantage SystemUpdate.
Should you still be missing something after running it I suggest you post what you think is missing, or what you need, in order that other members can assist you.

Photo Stream Doesn`t work on the iPhone

Hi,
My iPhone share it`s Photos with my iPad and iPod, but does not receive any photos from them. The iPod and iPad share the photos between them perfectly.
iCloud and Photo Stream on my iPhone are on.
Any help?
Thanks

I would not expect anything to download, since streaming only starts when you turn on photostream on the device and you just turned it on. Once you make first picture it will stream right away. Check out photostream FAQs.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ - Support - Apple
in order to get all pictures from old phone, you need to create old phone back up and restore new phone from that back up.
Check out instructions.
iOS: How to back up - Support - Apple
You will find two sets of insturctions - by using icloud or itunes.

Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
ERROR MESSAGE:
Photo Stream
Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button.
WHAT I NEED:
How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
What I've tried:
I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
I have photo stream checked.
I have my photo stream checked
I have shared photo stream checked.
I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
MY SET UP:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
4gb of RAM
iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
