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:

  • Aperture does not show tick box for shared photo stream as promised on the help screen

    I try to configure Aperture for iCloud shared Photo Stream. According to the help screen, I should select Preferences and see a panel with 4 tickboxes. The first three relate to My Photostream and work fine on all my devices. The crucial fourth tick box for sharing with others however does not show however. What else should I set-up to see the 4th tick box ? 

    You need:
    'A Mac with OS X v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later'

  • 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?

    Make sure you have the latest version of parrallels. Think older versions are not compatible.

  • Shared photo-stream, makes long file names with 42 random characters

    Windows icloud 3.1, in a shared photo-stream, makes file names with 42  random characters long. It didn't do this in iCloud  2. I have installed  iCloud 3.1 on a windows 8.0 and 8.1 machine and two Windows 7 machines.  They all do the same thing.  It used to give me file names like  "IMG_0001.jpg" now it gives me random file names like  "01a9fc3363330464233a142486180f0c1622eb9fca.jpg" all the pictures are  out order.
    Does anyone have fix for this? Does any one else have this  problem? I have posted this before and know one else that uses windows  seams to have this problem exect me. I did call Apple and they did some  research and bumped me up to senior  techs and eventuality Apple told me this is working the way it was  designed to. This is extremely stupid, I need the sequential file names  so the pictures will sort correctly.

    I have never found a solution for this.
    I did find a Work Around. What I do when I receive a folder full of pictures from another ios iPhone user, I copy all the photos as a batch from the PhotoStream folder into a free Windows program called "FastStone Photo Resizer" from www.FastStone.org. This program allows you to resize the photos as a batch to what ever size you wish. In my case I resize them to 2560 x 1440 which fills my 27" monitor and reduces the file size of each picture from 2MB or 3MB down to about 450 KB without degrading the picture as far as what you see on the screen.
    This program will also within the same batch operation, allow you to sort the pictures by "Date Taken" which is the Date and Time the picture was taken. It gets this information from the EXIF data in the jpg file. This program will then rename the files with different numbering format options including date, time, alphanumberic and with just simple numbers starting at what ever number you wish to start with. I can get files that look like this again "IMG_0001.jpg" and have all the pictures in the correct order that they were taken. At this point, I save the pictures directly to a folder on my PC. The cool thing about this is, all the EXIF data is preserved as well. I can process a 100 pictures in less that 60 seconds. I hope this helps. For me, I can now live with this iCloud numbering defect.

  • Photo Stream no longer working on PC after iOS 8

    Photo Stream has always worked well for me, automatically uploading all photos taken with my iPhone to my Windows 7 PC.  However, since I updated to iOS 8, Photo Stream no longer uploads to the PC.  It works on all my iOS devices, but no longer uploads new photos to the PC.  I have re-installed iCloud for Windows, but this has not made a difference.  Am I overlooking something or is this a common problem iOS 8 users are having?
    Thanks for your help!

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

  • Shared photo streams no longer updating in iPhoto since Yosemite upgrade

    I just noticed that new photos are not being downloaded to the shared photo streams in iPhoto on my iMac.  I am getting all new photos in my iPhone and iPad... just not on the iMac.
    Anyone encountered this or have any solutions?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Streams.
    If the above doesn't work this method posted by user  Willis I Am might do the job for you:

    I do not know if anyone ever runs into this issue anymore, but the Apple Engineers helped me fix this recently.
    They had me do the following:
    Turn off Photo Stream in your user account: (second screenshot above)
    Quit iPhoto
    Goto System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Photo Stream.l (first screenshot above)
    Close System Preferences
    Then deleting the entire ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/ directory.
    Open Terminal and type in cd Library
    then type open . (open space period)
    navigate to Application Support and delete the iLifeAssetManagement folder.
    quit terminal
    Then turn photo stream back on in their photo library.
    open iPhoto and click on Photo stream in the left column.
    enable photo stream.
    It will take some time to download the cached photos but this resolved my problem of having 0 display and no photos in the "My Photo Stream" area when any of my other devices showed new photo stream photos without any problems.

  • 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?

  • 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 Streaming No Longer Working

    I am sick and tired of Apple and their crappy updates. All I want Is one picture folder that updates between my devices. Now I have photos and collections . ThIs does not update between devices. Then I have albums with camera roll, photo stream and any other albums I have created. Where only the photo stream folder supposedly updates for new pictures.
    After the new update my photo streaming stopped working. My IPad has now deleted all of my previouse streamed pictures. I do not have a computer to upload anything I have an Ipad and an iPhone. My IPad does all of my browising needs and even if I did have a computer I don't want pictures stored in more albums in another place. Now there's album sharing where I need to create more albums! Enough is enough Apple.
    How do I have one folder where all past and future pictures are stored and get uploaded to each device. If that can't happen I am seriously thinking of getting Samsung products. I use pictures in my business and if I take it on my IPhone then I need it to upload to my IPad to get used on my website an I would like all of the pictures past stored there too.
    I DO NOT WANT 5 million places for pictures where the pictures are then duplicated and create MORE data used on your devices. If a pictures taken on my iPhone its then in my phot stream and if I choose to create an album it's there and if I create a shared album that same pictures now in 4 different places. Madness. Who thinks this is a good idea?
    I can see having the option for albums some people do like to create there own albums but I'd rather have 1 folder. For goodness sake it should not be so hard!

  • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) No longer working - Please help!

    Ok... here we go.  I cannot RDC to my network at work.  I originally was using a PC and was able to connect a few times using RDC before it stopped working.  It would not connect either wirelessly or connected via ethernet cable no matter what I tried.  I then tried a laptop from work - same problem.  I then went and bought a new Macbook Pro - connected no problem 5 times in a row until it stopped worked again out of the blue.  
    In summary:
    - same problem exists on Macs and PCs
    - same problem exists when using Wifi or Ethernet cable
    - problem ONLY occurs at home with my FIOS router - all the same computers can RDC using any other network
    - if I connect to my neighbor's Wifi on either a Mac or PC, it's works fine
    Please help!!  I've been looking at my router settings but I'm over my head.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I am going to take an educated guess as to why, it does not work. If this does not solve the issue, please post,
    The solution was posted here by user "tns", from user BigDaddy on DSLReports:
    Login to your router normally, then click this link, which will take you to the now-hidden IGMP Proxy config page:

    Hi Joel,
    A couple of things we can try...
    1.) If you open Disk Utility, do you see the hard drive there?
    2.) If you open System Profiler, do you see the drive present on the device tree bus?
    What type of drive is it, USB or FireWire?

  • Photo stream no longer working on pc after update

    my photo stream says it is not enabled and to open icloud...
    so i do and i activate it and i apply
    BUT it still says it is not enabled
    suggestions?

    I moved my old photo stream file (with the pictures from when it did work) to a dvd-r. Then I uninstalled iCloud from the control panel. Restarted my computer and reinstalled iCloud from the web. It gave me new folders with pictures from my devices. It does not send all of the pictures rather only the last 100 ish. My photo stream on my iPad and iPhone where unaffected. It's the best I've come up with.
