Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto

Shared photo streams to which I have subscribed do not show up in iPhoto.I am able to view them on my iPhone. I've tried everything. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to upgrade. 10.7.2 does not support shared PhotoStreams

  • No shared photo stream on iPhoto '11

    Hi! I have been trying to create a shared photo stream from iPhoto on mi iMac, but there is no option to do so, I only get my photo stream. I searched Apple support and supposedly under preferences/photo stream there should be a checkbox to enable the shared photo stream, but I only get three check boxes: "Enable Photo Stream", "Automatic Import" and "Automatic Upload", nothing about the shared photo stream. I have the latest version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.2). Any ideas on how to make it work? Thanks!

    Shared Photo Streams require 10.8.2 or later.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

  • I do not see all photos exist inside a shared photo stream using iPhoto on Mac

    There is a shared photo stream among 5 different users with 125 photos and videos inside. For my account I use 3 different devices to access this photo stream, an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone. All 125 photos appear ok on my iPad and my iPhone. However when I access this stream from iPhoto on my iMac I only see 69 of them. None of the photos I have shared using my accound are there plus some other photos and videos shared by other users. Other users can see all 125 photos in their mobile devices. What is wrong with iPhoto on my iMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    OSX version 10.8.5
    iPhoto version: 9.4.3
    With these versions you cannot see the contents posted on IOS 7.0.4 devices by the persons invited to the stream. You will only be able to see the photos streamed by the owner.
    If you want to see the photos added by the subscribers to the stream, you need to upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Mt. Lion does not support the new shared photo streams of IOS 7.0.4 fully.

  • I can't add multiple photos to a shared photo stream in iPhoto.

    Hi All,
    I need troubleshooting assistance! How do you add multiple photos at a time into a shared photo stream?
    I've selected multiple photos but when I add them, they don't appear in the stream. However if I add them individually they do appear.  I've tried re-setting my internet, re-starting the iMac and iPhoto, I've left iPhoto on overnight in case it took a while to add them to the stream..but nothing works!  I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
    I'm running v10.9.4 OS on my iMac and 9.5.1 iPhoto.
    For more information, when I select multiple photos and add them to the photo stream, it "looks" like these photos are dropped into the photo stream by the graphics that follow but when I open the stream they are not there!
    Thanks in advance.

    I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.
    Have you tried to share only a few photos at a time? When I am sharing a small number of photos all it once, it works.

  • HT4906 How can I subscribe to a shared Photo Stream in iPhoto

    I'm trying to use iPhoto to subscribe to a shared Photo Stream from my sister-in-law.  Whenever I click on the invitation, it says I need to sign in to iCloud -- which I have multiple times now -- and be running iPhoto 9.4 (which is actually 9.4.2).  So, I've satisfied all the necessary steps, but it's not bringing up iPhoto on my computer.  I have Photo Stream on iPhoto configured to allow subscribing to shared Photo Streams.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Figured it out with a helpful hint from someone elses post.
    I have two iCloud accounts.  My System Preferences had iCloud configured with the wrong Apple ID. 
    The email that gets sent when someone shares a Photo Stream might mention something about the System Preferences -> iCloud needing to be configured if you want to see the shared stream in iPhoto on a Mac.

  • Shared photo streams in iPhoto and Apple TV

    Why is this proving so difficult for Apple to get right?
    All I want to do is create private albums that I can share with family and have them sync back to my Mac so that all I need to do is organise my photos ONCE (i.e. on iPhone or iPad) and see these albums in iPhoto where they are also backed up locally.
    I've created a shared photo stream album, shared it with my wife... she can see it on her phone... great.
    I look in my iPhoto and there is no sign whatsoever that I've ever created a shared album. Just the main photo stream mess as usual.
    Also, I go to my Apple TV and the same thing, just the same "every photo ever" mess.
    I've recently taken to using Vimeo because this provides exactly what I need for home video. Create edited video in iMovie for iPad or Mac, then upload it to Vimeo, and share it only with family. I can then view them back on Mac, Apple TV, iPad etc.

  • HT201077 Shared Photo stream to iPhoto

    I have shared photo streams that I can see on my phone & iPad, but they aren't showing up in iPhoto. All of my settings appear to be correct, but I'm not seeing the individual streams, nor any photos that were shared with me.

    what version of iPhoto and of the OS? Exactly doing? See - http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/ -  for FAQ and trouble shooting hints

  • Automator script to move photos to shared photo stream in iPhoto?

    Is there anyway to automatically add new photos, as they are being imported, into a shared photo stream? They default to the main photo stream, which the client will not be subscribing to. If not within iPhoto itself, is there anyway to create an Automator workflow that will do this automatically? The client wants an elegant solution.
    Here is the process that I would like to accomplish. A photo is taken with a point and shoot containing an Eye-Fi card. The photo is sent to iPhoto, where it is added to the shared photo stream. The client can view the photos taken at the site, but not worry that his personal photos from his iPhone will end up back on the work computer where this process began. (He will turn off the "My photo stream" slider on his iPhone).
    Since I can find no way to get the photos taken from the camera to default to the shared photo stream, can Automator move these photos to that photo stream throughout the day?

    I've got a few hundred photos to add for each shared photo stream so I don't want to go individually adding them, there must be an easier way.

  • 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:

    Re: photostream not working on my mac
    Sep 9, 2013 2:05 PM (in response to gtbissell)
    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 option missing iphoto 11

    In Iphoto / preferences there is a missing option to check
    Shared photo streams.
    Iphoto 11 - upgrade
    OSX 10.7.5
    Anyone know how to resolve ?

    Upgrade your OS - shared PhotoStream requires OS X version 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or newer and IOS 6.0 or later
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later

  • IPhoto Stalls While Uploading Photos To Shared Photo Stream

    Hi,
    I'm running OSX Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.
    I created a new Event in iPhoto and imported my photos.
    I selected all images (71 off) and clicked Share -> iCloud.
    I created a new shared Photo Stream and invited subscribers.
    Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only six photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
    To try to fix the issue,
    I left it overnight.
    I restarted iPhoto.
    I restarted iMac.
    I either removed the photos from the Photo Stream or deleted the Photo Stream itself—can't remember which.
    Depending on which action I took in the previous point, I either selected all the photos in the Event again and shared them to the same Photo Stream or I created another, new Photo Stream and shared all the photos to it.
    Photos began appearing in the Photo Stream, but only 15 photos appeared, not the full set of 71.
    Any idea how to get the remaining photos to upload to the shared Photo Stream.
    Thanks,
    Ken.

    Hi,
    Okay, I did some searching here on the forums and found this post by Old Toad.
    I followed his instructions and it fixed my issue.
    Old Toad recommended:
    Disabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
    Disabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
    Reboot machine.
    Re-enabling Photos in System Preferences -> iCloud
    Re-enabling My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto's Preferences.
    In addition, I did the following in iPhoto,
    Deleted the 15 photos in the shared Photo Stream.
    Selected all the photos in the Event and shared them to the existing shared Photo Stream, i.e. I didn't re-create a new Photo Stream at this stage.
    All photos uploaded successfully to the stream in approximately 10-15 minutes.  Issue solved.
    Hope this helps anyone with the same or a similar issue.
    Regards,
    Ken.

  • 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.

  • How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

    I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream. 
    So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website.  Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
    As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads.  This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
    Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream.  Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

    If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
    iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
    Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
    On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
    On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

  • Sharing Photo Stream with Windows user

    Greetings.  I am trying to help a family member join Shared Photo Streams on their Windows PC so they can see the photos of their grandkids.  We installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1 on his Windows 7 notebook, and I created an iCloud account for him using my MacBook.  We can log into the account on iCloud.com, so we know it has been set up.  We checked the Photos boxes in iCloud Control Panel.
    I added him to an existing Shared Photo Stream using iPhoto on my MacBook, and he received the invitation via email, but when he clicks on the link to join, all he gets is a page that says you can only join a Shared Photo Stream using one of a list of Apple devices.  I have read all the troubleshooting posts, and we even tried the hint that suggests killing all the Windows proceeses and restarting, but no joy.  I'm successfully sharing the stream with other Apple users, so the basic sharing is working.
    I know we could set up the Photo Streams as public Web pages, but we'd really prefer not to have the baby pictures available to anyone who happens to find the URL.  Some posts I've read seem to indicate that other people have this working, but we just can't figure it out.  Any help from someone who has this working with the software combo above would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
