Shared Photo Stream pics not showing in iPhoto
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS6 and my wife has a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and the latest version of iPhoto.
I created a shared photo stream on my iPhone and sent her the invitation to subscribe. I also added about 6 photos to the photo stream. On her mac, she accepts the invitation to the shared photo stream. Now when she opens iPhoto she sees the photo stream itself but there are 0 pictures in it and even when I add more pictures she never sees them.
Any ideas? Thanks!
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%.

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?

My photo stream pics not showing in my PC
Unable to transfer my iphone or ipad pics to my PC photo stream????. is blank?
Your photos are still on your phone. With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more. The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
The CR is replaced by the Collections mode. The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.
The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.
The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18). In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.
WARNING: If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices. -
HT201077 Shared Photo Streams do not upload full sized photos!
Oh boy, so it seems that Apple's "optimized for your device" policy with photos has reared its ugly head again (PLEASE, just give us an option for optimizing the size or leaving it the original size like you do for compressing songs to 128kps on our devices!!!!)! The addition of Shared Photo Streams seemed a godsend to me, as prior to iOS 6, my wife's iPhone was stuck in this iCloud ID ghetto, where her device's main account was mine so that we shared the same Photo Stream. This way, when I went into Aperture on the Mac to process and import photos to our home library, all of our mobile pictures were in one place. This came with the consequence that the other "main" iCloud features, such as (inexplicably) Safari syncing, were unusable to her as they were from my personal settings. So once shared Photo Streams came about, I thought "Perfect! Now I can just share all of my photos to her iCloud ID, and then all of our combined pictures will show up in Aperture!" The problem is that, when I looked at the pictures on the Mac from the shared photo stream, they only were available at the "optimized" 3 megapixel resolution for iPhone, not the original 8 megapixel pictures are the photos from the main iCloud ID ones are. This is a huge deal for two reasons, 1. I can't import and process these pictures for saving permanently they're more than HALF the original resolution, 2. Anyone that I share photos to, friends, family, who want to maybe save those to their computer for printing and whatnot, are ALSO stuck with a halfbaked low resolution file!
I did have the a-ha idea, that perhaps if I shared photos from Aperture on my mac to my wife's Photo Stream, perhaps it would then share the full resolution photo as that's what Aperture gets from iCloud's servers. Alas, no, still the shared photo stream only gets the compromised file. There has GOT to be a way for the full resolution pics to be shared, otherwise the service is nearly useless to me! As far as I knew, shared photostreams just link to the original files, so it's not like this will take up any more space on Apple's servers. If someone has a solution, let me know!
The only other solution is to allow the use of more than one Photostream account on a Mac with Aperture. I feel that this is a no-brainer, and a little silly. Either you provide family style iCloud accounts for uses like Photo Stream, or you accept that every iOS user in a family will have their own Photo Stream. This means that they need to be able to be accessed on the same family computer.I have this same issue except with iPhoto. We each have our own computers and I thought the shared photostream would allow us to each have all the photos, but they aren't full sized.

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. -
I have made quite a few shared photo streams and love the idea of sharing easily with a variety of friends and family. The problem in having is that any modifications made to the shared photostream (adding/deleting pictures) are not updated in the URL I have sent to my family and friends. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer
Hello All,
I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync? -
HT201317 photo stream is not showing on icloud
phot stream is not showing on icloud.com on my pc
Basically Apple actually took away the Gallery capability we used to have with me.com when they replaced it with Photo Stream. So there is no way to see on the web, nor send a URL to friends to share the pictures like you used to be able to do with Gallery. To do that, you will need to push those photos to an external service such as Snapfish or Flickr or a social media site.

Photo Stream does not appear in iPhoto (9.1.4) Library
As it does not appear as an option i cannot turn it on on my new Mini running Lion . The rest of my iCloud setup runs correctly. Solution?
from Apple Support
Using Photo Stream on your Mac requires iPhoto 9.2 or later, or Aperture 3.2 or later.
You have 9.1.4 -
Shared photo stream option not shown in settings
i downloaded ios 6 in around the first hour that it was launched and i cannot find the menu that can turn on shared photo streams. i have a 4th gen ipod touch. i looked in the settings under the photos and camera menu as well as the share button on a picture in my camera roll, and it is not there.
I just figured the solution out! It worked for me..
The iCloud terms of use has changed, so this option is disappeared. You have to agree with the new terms.
So delete the icloud from your iDevice and, add it again.
Hope it work 4 u.. -
TS3989 photo stream is not showing up on icloud!
I have all my device photo stream turned on but I don't get anything. On icloud on my computer photo stream there is no apps for it I have the one for mail ect.
If you are using a Mac, you need iPhoto 09 or better in order to see your photo stream photos. If you are using a PC, iCloud control panel will allow you to enable photo stream and choose which folder your photos are saved to. Photo stream is not available at icloud.com.

HT204053 photo stream is not showing all photos on all devices
I think the tag line says it all. Any suggestions?
This is usually caused by enabling photo stream on your different devices at different points in time. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, though up to 1000 photo stream photos will remain on your devices until deleted. The result of this is that if you will only receive photos added to photo stream in the last 30 days when you first enable it on a new device, even though your other device(s) may have older photo stream photos on them.
If you want to add these "missing" photo stream photos to your other devices, you can either save them to the camera roll, import them to your computer, then sync them to your other devices; create a shared photo stream that includes these photos and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99); or us and app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your other devices over wifi. -
I just set up iCloud for my new iPhone 4S and iPad2. I have a PC running Windows 7. I have downloaded the iCloud for Windows 7 software. In experimenting with iCloud, I see the pictures that I took on my iPad and iPhone have been streamed to my PC, no problems there; however, I have been trying to upload only one picture (.jpg format) from my PC to iCloud and it does not show up on my iPhone or my iPad. I moved the picture into the upload folder in Photo Stream manually from my PC. I have read and reread the directions several times and I cannot see that I am missing any steps, but the picture does not show up. Has anyone else had this problem and been successful in overcoming it?
Thanks for your help.

Photo Stream is not showing up, what should i do? Is it available in countries outside USA?
Photo Stream in my iphoto'11 9.1(475) is not showing up. Not even when I have turned on Photo Stream in my icloud account. what should i do??? it has shown up in Aperture and is syncronised but i want my photo stream in iphoto. Please suggest.
Well the fact that it works with Aperture tells you that Photostream does work outside the USA. You need to update your iPhoto to 9.2.1
