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.

HT201317 Can I prohibit shared photo stream images from being forwarded/downloaded?

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.

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

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.

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 created a shared photo stream for my wife and me to share photos we ake on our iPhones
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.

How do I enable shared photo stream to subscribers without iCloud

I started a shared Photo Stream today using iOS 6 and invited my family members to subscribe to it.
They do not have iCloud accounts and were prompted to enter their iCloud accounts in order to access the Photo Stream.
It says that subscribers can access the stream online without an iCloud account but I cannot find a way to enable this. I would prefer not having my family members sign up to iCloud or download the iCloud control panel for their PCs. Is there an easy fix so that I can update the stream and they will receive a email with a link to the stream online for viewing?
Thanks

You are not alone. I've got the "iCloud can't find the page" problem as well.
Short summary: It seems that iPhoto/iCloud uses the same URL when you delete a Stream and then create a new one. The new one can then not be found.
Long story:
Also set up a shared stream yesterday for testing, got the invitation email, clicked the link, browsed the page successfully. All fine - not as nice or useful as MobileMe galery, but at last something that is again usable to share to my parents AppleTV.
- got rid of the first shared photo stream, confirmed the message the stream+files will be deleted
- checked on icloud.com (original share email), yep it's gone
- selected some images, clicked share, to PhotoStream, new
- readded emails of people to invite, renamed stream to Friends+Familly
- clicked on View website -> error message! ARRRGH!
- disabled and re-enable public website, click on View website -> error.
- called Apple Support: "Yes, some users are seeing problems, please try again later".
The link looks terribly familiar. Checked my Safari History. And yes it seems that iPhoto re-used the same link as for the original Photo Stream I deleted.
So:
- made a new Stream, check website -> works.
- remember URL
- delete Stream
- create a new one, check website -> broken.
Apple: We love you, but your quality control, arrgh! Especially when it comes to iCloud.

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:

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?

Shared Photo Streams in Usage, despite sharing turned off.

I checked the usage on my iPad today (running iOS 8.1) and Shared Photo Streams are using 4.1GB of memory. The problem is that I don't have any shared photo streams -- I don't even have sharing services turned on.
I've tried Googling, but I can't come up with any solution to this.

Shared PhotoStreams are always in the order the photos are added and cannot be rearranged - they are streams.

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.

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

HT201317 Is it possible to sort pictures in shared photo streams?

I am starting to use this "shared photo streams", and I think it's nice.
But I can't find out how to sort pictures in the shared photo streams... - Is it possible?
Thank you.
Best regards.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream photos are displayed in the order they are added. The only way to sort them would be to remove them from the album and add them back in the order you want.

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?

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.
