Shared Photo Stream in Finder

Good day anyone,
I just restored my MacBook and I would like to have my Shared Photostream at my disposal at the sidebar in the Finder.
I have seen several tutorials on how to do this with your regular Photostream, however.
One of these steps was that I had to type the following in: Finder -> Go -> Go to folder...
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
By navigating back to:
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/
And navigating forward to:
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared
I realized that I was actually in the Shared Photostreams folder.
After following the steps for putting the Photostreams in the sidebar (but I used my Shared Photostream), I was not seeing all my photos in the sidebar. I have 609 (546 in one stream, 63 in another) photos and only 494 were actually showing in the finder. To be sure I got back to:
~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared
and looked in any of the 609 folders in 'sub-shared' and found indeed 609 photos and not 494.
I looked for:
Image = 494
jpg/JPG/jpeg/JPEG = 480 results
png/PNG = 14 results
My question is, how can I get all the 609, if not possible, the 546 photos in my sidebar? Is it a problem with iPhoto?
I really need this functionality!
Points for the correct answer ofcourse.

~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets
This folder in your user library is the buffer for syncing with iCloud. It is not necessarily exactly what you are seeing in the Photo Streams in iPhoto or Aperture. Most of the times, the folders "sub" and "sub-shared" will match perfectly the contents of the streams you are seeing in iPhoto or Aperture, but depending on the state of the syncing there may be discrepencies.
So, if you drag the folder sub-shared to your Finder's sidebar, you will have to live with differences due to the state of the syncing with icloud.
Why do you need to access the Photo Stream from the Finder Sidebar? Any application, that will open a File Chooser dialog and supports the media Browser, can access the Photo Stream from the Media Section in the file chooser window, for example, in Preview I can access the Photo Stream like this:
Just select Media > Photos > Aperture > iCloud

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

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.

HT201302 How do I import my iCloud Photo Stream into Finder so I can edit images in Photoshop?

I'm new to iCloud and my Photo Stream. On my iPhone 6 I have 60-odd pictures from a vacation that I'd like to put on Facebook _AFTER_ editing them in Photoshop CS4. Is there a easy way to copy the photo stream pictures to Finder so I can get started? I don't see this option on my iPhone, and I definitely don't want to import them into iPhoto which is so limited in editing capabilities.
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Mike

Who shall be able to see your photos? If you use "My Photo Stream", only persons using your AppleID and iCloud account will be seeing the Photos. That is very restrictive. And the PhotoStream does not store your photos for a long time. It only pushes the photos to your other devices.
You can use Shared Photo Streams. That are stored in the cloud and you can invite other iCloud users to view these streams. But they will need MacOS X Mt. Lion to see the stream. iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
But if you publish a journal as a webpage to your iCloud homepage, the webpage will be stored in the cloud and you can invite persons to view the webpage. They do not need to sign up for a shared photo stream.
To view your published web journal in a web browser you need to share a link, also to yourself on your windows laptop:
To share a link to your published journal, tap Share Journal and do any of the following:
Send a link in a message: Tap Message, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Tweet a link: Tap Twitter and enter a tweet. Tap Send.
Post a link to Facebook: Tap Facebook and tap Post.
Send an email with a link: Tap Mail, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Copy a link: Tap Copy and paste the link into another app.
Sharing your journal and publishing to Photo Stream may take a long time. Your iPad will not upload to the Cloud, if the battery is low (less then 20%).

Shared photo stream is not showing up in settings for iPhone 5 or ipad

Hi there
I am trying to set up a shared photo stream however the option is not coming up on either my iPhone 5 or my iPad (3).
I have tried adjusting the settings (Settings/Photos&Camera/Shared Photo Stream), switching it on & off as well as switching on iCloud again to see if new T&Cs pop up as suggested in other posts - no joy!
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

On your device using iOS 6, try quitting and re-opening the Photos app:
Quit Photos.
From your Home screen, click your Home button twice. Your open applications should appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
Scroll to find the Photos icon. Press the icon until the icons jiggle.
Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Photos icon. The icon should disappear from the list.
Tap the Home button again to return to normal operations.
Also check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

Problem with shared photo streams in iCloud

I am using version 9.6 of iPhoto on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1. All of a sudden I cannot see any photos in my shared photo streams in iCloud - all the streams are showing up and the subscribers but it says there are 0 photos. It is the same for mine and other people's shared photo streams. I can still see all the photos on my iPhone and iPad. I have not been able to find a solution online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes it helps to delete the cached copy of the Photo Streams from your user library.
Open the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/ in your user library in your home folder.
Remove the complete folder iLifeAssetManagement/ to your Desktop and compress it.
Then restart your mac.
Your user library may still be hidden.
To open the hidden User Library:
Quit iPhoto.
Use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it)
In the window that opens select the folder "Application Support", then look for " iLifeAssetManagement/"

Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

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 pushed to device over cellular data

Hi,
I created today three shared photo streams in iPhoto and all of a sudden my iPhone started getting very hot and battery being drained quickly (it's an oldish 3GS, and the battery level was decreasing even though the iPhone was connected to the charger...).
In a nutshell: it seems that whilst data from the "ordinary" Photo Stream are uploaded/downloaded only when the device is connected to a wi-fi netwrok, if you have shared Photo Streams enabled on a iOS 6 device, picture data in these photo streams are "pushed" to the device also over cellular data, regardless of any other setting.
Apart draining the battery very fast, this may lead to using inadvertently a lot of data traffic in your data plan.
Did anyone notice a similar behavior and find out how to prevent it, apart disabling Shared Photo Streams alltogether, of course, i.e. did anyone find a a way to ensure shared photo streams are pushed to the device only under wi-fi?
cheers
-gianpiero

I suppose you could disable Shared Photo Steam while you are at cellular network and enable it again when you are at a wi-fi environment. In Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream> turn Shared Photo Stream to Off.
The pop up warning tells you that this will delete all shared photos from your device. What it doesn't say is, since shared photo stream remains stored in iCloud, all you shared and shared with you photo streams will be push back to your device once you enable Shared Photo Steam in wi-fi. The downside of course is if you have a lot of photos in your shared photo steams, it will take some time to download them. But at least you know for sure your cellular data is not affected.
Btw, Shared Photo Steams doesn't count towards iCloud storage, just like Photo Steams. Maybe That's why turning off iCloud document doesn't affect shared photo steams.

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.
...Gunnar

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.

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.

Photos in shared photo stream have disappeared

I have several shared photo streams. Following the last update to iPhoto, some are just fine but others display a photo count which is very different than the number of photos which now appear to be there. The count is what should actually be visible - for instance, one displays a count of 76 photos, which is what should be there and which used to be viewable. However, only 10 appear now. This is not a refresh or network latency issue. Has anyone else run into this in iPhoto and, most importantly, how do I fix it?

There might be a few questions to work through to find a solution...
My first question would be this... please advise whether yo uback up your iPhone, and if you do, is this to iCloud or to an Apple computer?

Shared photo stream from others not showing my own posted photos in iPhoto

Hi community,
I'm facing a problem I'm not sure if it might have been answered somewhere before but if so I cannot find it..
My wife opened a shared photo stream with her iPhone and invited me to it. Since then, we both post new pictures to it and it syncs perfectly (at least it seems like) on our iOS devices, her iPhone, my iPhone and iPad. We're running iOS 7 on all devices.
The problem is that I cannot see any of my pictures in that stream on my MacBook in iPhoto 9.4.3. In streams I created it works fine and it's a comfortable way to get photos from iPhone to Mac without having to connect with a cable. But the mentioned stream my wife created contains only her pictures in iPhoto. I'm running Mountain Lion. (Since Mavericks doesn't seem to bring any new features I need and usually new OS X versions seem to slow down the computer I don't want to update.)
Does anybody know how to fix?
Thanks in advance
Rob

general info is here - http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/photo-stream/
I'm totally clear on what your issues is - but I believe that the feature that Mavericks has that yu are missing is full support for shared photo streams
What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
Apple TV (second generation) with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you can use any up-to-date browser to see photos and videos added by the owner and all contributors.
And I found that Macvericks is much faster - the 64 bit software seems to be a big improvement

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 unavailable on my iPod Touch

I updated my iPod 4th Generation to the new iOs 6. As the features say, and as I have seen in my friends' iPod as well, there should be a new feature of "Shared Photo Stream". I have checked the Photo and iCloud settings, but cannot find the feature. Let alone turning it on. I just see the old, "My photo stream" option. What do I do now? I have done a reset too

Same problem here
