Shared photo stream won't load

Someone shared a photo stream with me and I click on it, but nothing happens. I'm using iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3

Hard reset your phone and try to click that link, while connected to strong wifi network. If still doesn't work, you may have to ask for another invite.

  • Photo stream won't load as screen saver

    I cant get any photo streams to load as slide shows or screen savers on my apple tv.  I tried it on my buddies apple tv with there own seperate photo stream and thy had the same issue.  This used to work for me no problem.  What's up apple?  Obviously it's software.  I called apple tech support and we trouble shot the crap out of it and came up with nothing.  Please help?

    Do you mean you created a shared photo stream? Did you make sure to select those photos by going to settings - screensaver on your ATV?
    Also note, only a small portion of the cache is used for the screensaver (typically will hold around 100 photos)

  • 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 won´t let subscribers add pictures

    Hi, I was wondering if there´s a way for the subscribers to upload pictures as well and not only the creator.
    Thank you

    At the present time only the person who creates the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

  • 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:

  • Unable to log in to Shared Photo Streams

    I downloaded Apple TV 5.1 last night to try using shared photo streams.  The update processed fine. When I went to photo stream it won't connect, I just get a message that the server is unavailable.  I haven't tried anything else on the Apple TV after the update so this may be a bigger i

    Hello all,
    It appears that this issue is related to specific network/Internet configurations. If you are experiencing this issue (some features work over WiFi but not Ethernet) after updating to Apple TV version 5.1, please send me <[email protected]> an email with this information:
    1. What is the manufacturer, model number and firmware version (if possible) of your Ethernet router?

    3. What is your Internet service provider?
    4. Where are you located geographically? (what city?)
    5. What Internet features do work over Ethernet?

  • Can't see pics in Shared Photo Streams

    On my iMac, I see "My Photo Stream," which is populated with pictures and working correctly.  I also see grey cloud icons for numerous shared Photo Streams that were either shared by me or by others. However, no photos are loading for any of those shared Photo Streams. 
    Notably, on my devices (2 iPads and 1 iPhone), I can see all of the photos with no trouble.  And when I recently upgraded to iPhone 6, the Photo Streams immediately worked, which suggests to me that the photos do exist in iCloud.
    Does anyone have thoughts as to why this is not working on my iMac?

    Since you are seeing the Shared Photo Stream Albums in Aperture, but empty, you have all preferences set up correctly.
    Aperture or iPhoto should be filling the albums from the folder I mentioned, but they cannot, because this folder is empty.
    There may be two reasons for this folder being empty. Either the Photostreamagent is not running or you may be  having a permissions problem with your home folder.
    Have you tried to toggle the Photo Sharing off and on again in  the System Preferences, as described here in this link?   iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Stream
    You could also try if removing the empty folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared   and restarting the Mac will help.
    As a test you could try, if the Shared Photo Stream will work in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If all fails, launch the Console from the Applications folder and check, if there are any error messages relating to "photostreamagent".

  • Sharing videos in shared photo stream?

    I just wondered if anybody had any luck with sharing videos to a shared photo stream? At first I thought that the Apple servers couldn't keep up with the demand, but it seems to have been quite a long time now and still no signs of working! I even called technical help, the lady I spoke to wasn't even aware that the feature existed, I had to direct her to the iOS seven feature page on their website! I was tempted to turn shared photo streams off and on again to see if it would work but don't fancy putting them back on.. (Especially if it won't work). If nobody has had any luck does anybody know what they are doing to put this feature right?

  • Shared photo stream full

    I share a photo stream with my husband but it is full and won't allow any more photos to be added. What do I do? I am using iPhone5. I get this message: "Sarah's photo stream" is full. You can only add 1,000 photos to a shared photo stream.  Thanks.

    Thanks - if I delete them from my stream, will they then be deleted from his phone too? Is there a way for him to keep them? (download to iphoto?)

  • Trouble creating shared photo streams

    A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
    Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
    Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
    The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
    Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
    The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
    Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
    There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
    In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
    None of this seems to make any sense.
    Thanks,
    Lorraine

  • I can not receive shared photo stream notifications

    I can not receive shared photo stream notifications - not getting iCloud notifications when someone is trying to share photo stream?

    Hello hayley204,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I understand you are not being prompted for invites to a Shared Photo Stream.  Please see the following information:
    I opted out of receiving iCloud Photo Sharing invitations, but now I'd like to subscribe to shared photo streams.
    If you still have an email invitation, open it and click “Don't Send Me Photo Stream Emails” at the bottom of the message. A browser window will open and show that you're no longer receiving photo stream invitations. Click “Undo this change.”
    If you no longer have an invitation, contact Apple Support and ask to opt back in to receiving photo stream invitations. After you opt in, you won't receive previous invitations automatically, but you can contact the owner of a shared stream and ask to be invited again.

  • Cant see friends photo's on my Shared photo stream?

    I will try to explain this as good as i can
    Basically today i have set up a 'shared photo stream' and i added my Girlfriend to it. She got the email and officially subscribed to the photo stream. When i upload a photo to that stream, only i can see that photo and she can't. it also happens the other way around? she uploaded 2 photo's and i have not got them on the shared photo stream? is it a matter of waiting and theyll eventually load on eachothers devices or is this a bug with the latest IOS 7?
    Ive already tried:
    Rebooting my iPhone 5
    looking on my MacBook Pro (and rebooting it)
    Turning off the icloud shared stream feature and re activating it
    just to point out again i CAN see MY own photos i upload to the stream, but i cannot see my girlfriends photos she has uploaded onto our stream. and same the other way around. She can see her photos but she cannot see mine
    I have already looked on troubleshooting and there is nothing linked with my problem?
    Just to clarify SHE has the latest updatde ISO 7.1.1 but she does have the iPhone 4... whereas i have an iphone 5....
    Can someone please help me? :/

    Camera Roll Photos are saved in your iCloud backup. Photo Stream photos live in iCloud but do not take up Backup space.
    However, if you value your photos, you should back them up to your computer, and then back those up to an external hard disk. iCloud backups are overlaid with newer backups every time you do one, and Photo Stream photos will hold only a total of 1000 photos or a month's worth of photos, whichever comes first.
    Cheers,

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all of my pics onto my new iPhone 5c. phone plug into iMac, all settings on phone are for photo stream on. it only sent 100 out of 1000. thanks for any help !

    Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all 1,000 pictures onto my new iphone 5c? i backed up my old phone onto the mac and plugged in my new phone then hit backup. it only gave me 100 pictures????? why?
    thanks for any help!

    Because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  Only shared streams keep photos in iCloud indefinitely.  Your other photos are probably older than 30 days and are no longer in iCloud.
    Also, photo stream photos aren't included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  If you want to include photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll in your backup, you have to save them to the camera roll before backing up.
