Shared Photo Streams in Usage, despite sharing turned off.

I checked the usage on my iPad today (running iOS 8.1) and Shared Photo Streams are using 4.1GB of memory. The problem is that I don't have any shared photo streams -- I don't even have sharing services turned on.
I've tried Googling, but I can't come up with any solution to this.

Shared PhotoStreams are always in the order the photos are added and cannot be rearranged - they are streams.

  • How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

    How can I remove the pictures in photo stream? I have already turn off my photostream at the settings but when i turn it on again, the pictures still come out?

    Ok you can reset the stream from www.icloud.com
    Goto www.icloud.com
    Login with your iCould username and password.
    and login
    Then click on your name in the top right hand side of the screen next to sign out,
    it opens a window Account details with Language, Time Zone, Advanced
    Select Advanced - Then click Reset Photo Stream. and confirm, the stream will be reset and totally deleted
    I still think you should be able to remove individual pictures though, a blured image etc is a problem

  • Max # of pictures in a shared photo stream - Data usage?

    Is there a limited number of pictures you can put into a shared photo stream.  I know with the regular its 1k, is that the limit for the shared ones as well.  Or can I create a photo stream with my entire photo library and have it all backed up on icloud.
    Seperately how much data does shared photo streams use.  Is it essentially downloading/uploading every photo to each device even over cellular connections.  Its not a huge deal, but I'd rather not use up my data because a friend dropped 500 pictures of their dog into a shared stream.  (But I do like dogs)  Also does it take up space on your phone or is it all just held at the cloud level and you are essentially downloading it each time you look at it?

    According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so).  You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera.  Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
    Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go).  Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
    icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic.  Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

  • HT4858 What about shared photo streams that's not shared with anyone?

    I want to use shared photo streams mainly to keep my albums online and I find it the easiest way.
    The article says that the maximum amount of photo stream I can share is 100.
    What if I create a photo stream and I share it with no one? Will I be able to create more than 100 photo streams if I don't share them all?
    Thanks
    Uri

    It doesn't matter whether you share your shared album or not, it still counts toward the 100 limit.

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • Shared photo stream quality issue

    Shared photo stream FAQ states that:
    "Shared Photo Streams supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide."
    Since I'm a little OCD about photo organization, I collect and organize all the photos my girlfriend and I take. She shares all of her picture from her iPhone 5s on a shared photo stream and I import them to iPhoto on my MBP. However, I have just realized to my great surprise that all her picture were downgraded in 2048 x 1536, even though I have downloaded them to my Mac. Anyone has the same issue or has any idea what is going on? The FAQ clearly said that they would be downloaded in full definition, but they aren't, which is really annoying as we often do large books for which the higher resolution is necessary, not to mention my retina display screen and 4K monitor.
    the FAQ

    You should double check your and your daughter's icloud ID as currently set, because what you describe happens when two people share the same icloud account  (and I assume you are talking about a "photo stream" and not a "shared photo stream").
    Settings>icloud, be sure the accounts are different.

  • Shared photo stream & deleting photos from iPhone

    Hi guys,
    Ok so I have shared photo streams on my phone (mostly started by me), with friends and family. I am reaching full capacity of my phone and thus need to delete the pictures stored in my iPhone (the ones Stored in my phone, not the shared photo stream ones). I've already transferred them to my computer so they are ready to be deleted. what my question is that if I clear up the photos stored in my phone, will the shared photo stream be affected by this aswell? as mostly pictures shared on photo stream are by my photo library in the phone which i am going to delete. If yes than is there a way to clear up my phone from the stored photos without affecting the shared photo streams that I am sharing?... I remember i tried doing this last year when I upgraded to a iPhone 5s and ended up completely deleting my shared photo stream. Don't want that to happen again. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks

    anyone?

  • Why is my shared photo stream taking up space on my iPhone when I have turned off photo sharing?

    I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3. It's only an 8GB iPhone, so I only have about 5.2GB of space to use. So I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes on my iPhone. Photos is one of those things that don't stay on my phone long. I have deleted all of my pictures out of my albums (both camera roll and recently deleted) and there can be no photos found in my library. In settings, I turned off all photo sharing capabilities, so I shouldn't be getting shared photos from family members on my phone and stuff. So why does my storage say that shared photo stream is taking up 54.6MB? I would like it to say 0MB. Am I missing something? I've included a couple screenshots to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!

    This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?

  • Shared Photo Streams – frequently turning on & off during international travel?

    Hello,
    I have an Iphone 5 (IOS7) as well as a newer Ipad and Macbook Pro. I use several shared photo streams, some of which I am the “host/share” and others for which I am a “member.”
    I will be traveling internationally with Iphone and a reasonable cellular data plan; I will have Wi-Fi in my hotel.  I want to be conscious of international cellular data usage.  Ideally, I would like to turn off photosharing unless I am on Wi-Fi since the number of shared photos and videos (posted by others) can use a lot of data.  I imagine there are numerous complications with doing this.
    When I turn off sharing for my device, I assume that all the shared pictures on my device will disappear.
    When I turn sharing back on for my device, I assume that all (or a subset) of the shared pictures on my device will re-download to the device (including the specific streams that I host/share?).
    I have photo sharing turned on for my other Apple devices that will remain in the US. If I turn off photo sharing on my phone, will the streams I share (“host”) disappear on my friends/family devices?  Although I use my phone for 100% of the actual photo sharing activities, having photo sharing turned on via other devices with the same Apple ID should keep the stream alive-and-well for my friends/family? 
    The heart of this question is whether the act of “hosting” a photo stream is more device or Apple ID specific (or something else).
    I appreciate any thoughts on my assumptions above.
    Ideally, I am really looking to put photo sharing on “pause” or a type of “airplane mode” whenever I am using international cellular data and could then  download any new photo sharing updates whenever I happen to be on WiFi.  But I am thinking that this is just not the way it was designed.  Given the all the complications above, is my best option to just turn photosharing off for the  whole trip and then turn it on afterwards?  It would seem that frequently downloading the photo stream contents each time I turn photo sharing back on (when on WiFi) would be a pain.
    Thanks.

    Here's what I was just told by an AT&T support person. And I quote, "If you are going outside of the Continental US, just don't bring the phone. Period." Not a great or helpful response.
    I am going to Canada tomorrow and called ATT to see how to proceed with using my iPhone up there. The (very nice, by the way) support person told me basically NOT USE IT AT ALL! I am willing to accept roaming charges on phone use which is all I really need but the problem is that anytime the phone is on, it may (or may not) be looking for a network and may (or may not) send data. So, even if I didn't use any Wifi or Edge features, and even if I go to use say a public Wifi network, I may still get hit with pretty big charges.
    I am not usually one to complain but you know what....THAT'S INSANE!
    This was not all all clear in any of the research that I did before the purchase. I still love using the iPhone but I was told that if I am EVER outside the 50 states, don't use it at all. Not as a phone, not as an internet device, not nothing.
    If I am wrong, please let me know but it seems pretty crazy that you can't use your phone like other phones outside of the continental US.

  • Shared photo stream not notifying on updates

    Each time my shared photo stream updates you are supposed to receive a notification and a badge app on the photos application.
    Despite these being turned on I am not receiving the notification or the badge. 
    Is this a bug?

  • 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... ]

  • 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.

  • TS3989 I had photos on my camera roll on my old phone, bought a new one and selected those photos to be a shared photo stream but when I sent it to my wife and opened it on my new phone it says there are no photos shared - these photos are more than 30 da

    Just bought a new iPhone 5 and wanted to send pics from my camera roll on my iphone 4 as a shared photo stream to my new phone and my wife's phone.
    I selected the pictures and created the photo stream and it showed up on my new phone and she was able to accept invite, but when opened the stream contained 0 photos and a message that says "No Shared Photos"
    These pictures were admitedly older than 30 days. Is that the rule that pictures from your camera roll older than 30 days cannot be shared as photo stream?
    I apprecaite all guidance on this issue. For those answering - yes everything else photostream wise is connected and working so there's no issue with setup - my question simply is can a user upload photos older than 30 days from the camera roll to a shared photostream?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    30 days is only applicable to My photostream and even then it applies from the time they were added not mwhen they were taken (unless it's the same time)
    I'd be inclined to restart your wife's phone and see if that helps, otherwise you might try turning photostream off and on again on her phone.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Only One Photo in a Shared Photo Stream is Displayed

    I have a persistent yet simple problem with iCloud Shared Photo Streams.  Either when I am sent an invitation for a Shared Photo Stream or create one myself the Shared PS properly appears in the iPhoto Photo Stream window and when I hover over the icon the correct number of photos contained is shown.  If I double-click to open the window ONLY one photo appears - always the first photo in the stream.  I am never able to view the whole content of the stream on my iMac - although the streams appear correctly on my iPad, my iPhone, another iMac and on the machines of friends I send stream invites to.  I have tried many things:  quit iPhoto and restart, restart the machine, delete all iLife prefs in the Library, delete iLifeAssetManagement in Library>Application Support, change Libraries, started from a different User, updated iPhoto several times, a complete restore and reinstall of the OS, saying prayers to the iLife gods and crossing my fingers.  None of this has helped.  It seems clear to me that my problem is not with my iMac, nor with my OS, nor really with iPhoto itself - but involves the interaction of iPhoto library files with iCloud.  Having said that, I have no idea how to proceed next.  Any thought would be welcome.

    Thanks for the thought, Larry - but I have turned off all iCloud on all devices and - oops, but wait.  I've done that - but I haven't then rebooted them all.  I'll try that tomorrow morning.  In the meantime, here's one more small clue.  When this first happens I get a crash file in ~Library/Preferences named com.apple.iLifeAssetManagdement.crash.plist.  It's too cryptic for me but it says:
