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?

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?

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:

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.

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?

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.

IPhoto photo stream won't work

Since iPhoto was updated in December, my iphoto library somehow became corrupted, crashed and wouldn't open. I've had lots of attempts at trying to find out what was wrong as this only affected the iphoto on my macbook pro. My ipad & iphone are both working fine. Eventually, after several attempts at trashing the library, rebuilding databases, repairing permissions etc, I eventually gave up and extracted all the original photos from the files and saved them in a separate file. I then trashed the iphoto library altogether and also the software and left it for a while. Then I installed my iphoto library from a saved backup file from last year before I had a problem and also installed a fresh copy of the software from the App store. This is now working but I still can't get the iphoto stream to work in icloud. I can switch the photo stream on and off in system preferences but in the iphoto preferences the tick box just won't stay ticked!! So I still can't stream my photos - most of which I take with my iphone and really miss the feature of having syncronized photos on all my devices.
I'm really pulling my hair out on this one and am at my wits end!! I really don't know where to go from here & have tried just about everything. It's very nice having Iphoto displaying all my photos, but they're all now old and I want it to display all my new photos too. Please can someone out there help me?? I'd be so grateful to get this wretched problem sorted. Thank you very much!!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

TS4425 Photo Stream Won't Work!

I have updated the software to 5.2 and I am still getting the same error message! does Anyone know what I need to do?

Selecting Photostream from the ATV3 menu says "The account name or password was incorrect. Please try again. For more info go to www.apple.com/support/icloud."
I've been there and the awesome troubleshooting tip is to upgrade ATV3 to 5.2. Guess what? I'm already running 5.2.1. So frustrating!

Shared photo stream storage

Hello all,
Quick question. I see that in the description of photo sharing on apples site they say the following.
All your photos on your Mac or PC
Your computer automatically keeps all the photos that come through your Photo Stream.
I am wondering if someone can confirm that this applies to shared photo streams as well. I.e. will all the photos that others share with me be kept on my computer for good?
Thank you for the help

no shared photo streams do not work the same as PhotoStream -- see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Shared Photo Stream not working on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5

I currently have a shared stream with my wife on my iPad and her iPhone. I want to share photo's with her from my MacBook. I have turned on photo stream in iCloud preferences and photo share in iPhoto preferences. I select the photo's to share in iPhoto, click on the share icon, then photo stream. Nothing happens, I don't get any option to add or create a shared photo stream. In the source list my photo stream in the latest category, I see in iCloud help it is in the Web category. Not sure if this is the problem. I just want to share photo's from my Macbook Pro.

As far as I know, D2 will only work on legacy systems that do not run on intel processors. The game only works on the older PowerPC system, unfortunately.

Shared photo streams not working in new iPhoto?

I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iPhoto to be able to work with the shared photo streams I'd created on my iPhone, but they seem to be nonfunctional in iPhoto 11. I'll select photos, create a stream, and add the photos; the pictures will say "added to shared photo stream", but the stream itself will be entirely empty.
Quite simply, iPhoto says it's creating and adding pix to photo streams, but it isn't. How do I fix this? It's sort of a major omission to have a prominent new feature not actually function at all.

iCloud photo sharing, which allows subscribers to add photos and videos to a shared stream created by you, will not be supported until OS X Mavericks is released. OS X Mountain Lion only supports shared photo streams, which does not allow subscribers to add photos.
Notice that is says "(iPhoto and Aperture users will not see photos and videos added by iCloud Photo Sharing contributors at this time.)" under "What do I need to be able to like photos and videos in a shared stream" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379. Also note that is says "Coming with OS X Mavericks" under "iCloud Photo Sharing" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759.

ICloud shared photo stream stopped working with new photo app

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own

iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app. I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
Don't the albums show at all?
Are you signed in with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before? And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
And wait.
The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

Changing permissions on shared photo streams. needs work!

why can't I add other people to view photo-streams that I've created? It seems, I have to make a new photostream of the exact same pictures if I decide I want to add others to a shared photo stream. That's just lousy.

See: iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
Look at the paragraph:
How can I invite more people to a photo stream that I've already shared? How do I uninvite someone or delete a subscriber?
On your device running iOS 6:
From your Home screen, tap Photos.
Tap the Photo Stream tab, then on an iPhone or iPod touch tap the blue arrow next to the name of the shared photo stream. On an iPad, tap the Edit button, then select the shared photo stream.
To add people: Under Subscribers, tap Add People. Enter the email address of the person(s) you wish to invite to your shared photo stream. Tap Add.
To remove people: Under Subscribers, tap the name of the person you'd like to remove, then tap Remove Subscriber.

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

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?
