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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Photo Streaming not working on new iPhone 4s

    Hi guys,
    I just got my new iPhone 4s and turned Photo Streaming on, in the iCloud prefs, but nothing happens. I chose to backmy iPhone from iCloud instead of my computer. I have double checked that I'm linking the correct iCloud account, that I'm on a wifi network and on my other devices(AppleTV and iPad) Photo streaming works fine.
    Any ideas?

    Photo Stream only works over WiFi, so are you connected to WiFi?

  • Shared Photo Streams not Working for me....

    Hi
    I have everything set up.
    I can select and create a Phtostream folder and send invites out to join.
    The invites arrive and when the intivtee clicks to join, they are told the service is not available right now, or that the photostream is no longer available.
    I have not managed to sucsessfully set up a shared photostream either from the iPhoto (OSX) or iOS6 App.
    Is there a way of resetting everything, or is this a known bug and I should wait for a software update?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone have an update on this?
    I am having the same issue.
    I create a shared photostream, i add my mother to it, and hit post.  Then she gets an email that i shared a photostream with her, she clicks the join photostream, and it then tells her that "The photostream is no longer avaialble".  What am i doing wrong?  I have successfully done other photostreams with other people.
    I have an iphone 5 and she has an iphone 4.  Could that be the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

    why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

  • Shared photo streams not transferring photos

    My shared photo stream was working fine, and then suddenly it wouldn't receive any photos from other users, and wouldn't send them my uploaded pictures? How do i get it to work again? I also got an email that someone subscribed but it never showed up on my phone as subscribed, just invited. I feel like it just needs to refresh or something. Any tips would be appreciated!

    I have had the same problem - Shared Photo Streams (evidently) do not update dynamically. There is also no button to force an update in the photo app either.
    On your iDevice by going into Settings > Photos & Camera and switching off "Shared Photo Streams".  Go into your Photo app and check that they have been removed.
    Now go back into the same Settings sub-menu and re-enable "Shared Photo Streams".  Back in the Photo app, you will see the shared stream update with the correct photos.
    I have the exact same problem with any shared photo streams I create on my iPhone - they do not appear on my iPad unless I do the above.  The same goes for iPhoto/Aperture on my Mac.

  • Photo stream not working after upgrading to maverick please help?

    have upgraded to Maverick from osx lion
    sooo much trouble ......memory low
    photo stream not working
    everything slow
    any ideas?

    On your Mac 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.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • Shared Photo Streams not appearing in iPhoto.

    I have a few Photo Streams that were recently shared with me. I can access them fine on my iPhone. When I am on my MacBook Air however, these Photo Stream folders are no where to be found.
    I followed this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989 and more specifically double checked these instructions:
    I don't see any photos or shared photo streams in the Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Check the following:
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud, and make sure the Photo Stream checkbox is enabled.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, choose Preferences > Photo Stream.
    If you are using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that both the My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams checkboxes are selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
    If you are using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import are selected.
                   Make sure your Mac has an an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
    Everything was set up as suggested above.
    My Macbook is on iPhoto 9.2.3, with OS 10.7.5
    My iPhone is on 6.1.3
    Additionally, when i view photos from a shared photo stream folder on my phone and then select to save one of the photos to my Camera roll, the photo is still not syncing to my Photo stream on the Mac.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Larry,
    Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd...  I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums.  Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both.  The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other!  I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account.  Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine.  Any thoughts??  Thanks!
    Hardware/Software Specs:
    MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1

    iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
    Note:  I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that.  Figured it's worth a shot!!

  • Photo stream not working in iPhoto

    I enabled icloud in iphoto but only a few photos come thru in "My Photo Stream." My shared photo streams with other people show up but no photos are showing up in the shared streams. It shows 0 photos in all of them but on my devices all my streams (shared or just my photo stream) are fine. Please help! It's frustrating!

    MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
    is your profile signature above still valid?
    I enabled icloud in iphoto but only a few photos come thru in "My Photo Stream."
    My Photo Stream will only show the recent photos that are currently in iCloud, after you turn it on, - the photos added during the last 30 thirty days, and at most 1000 photos.
    My shared photo streams with other people show up but no photos are showing up in the shared streams. It shows 0 photos in all of them but on my devices all my streams (shared or just my photo stream) are fine. Please help!
    The Shared streams will take some time to populate. After the Yosemite upgrade I had to wait for a full day, until the shared streams showed the photos. If the do not show up after some more waiting, disable "Photos" in the iCloud System Preferences, restart the Mac, and turn it on again. Then enable it also in iPhoto again.

  • 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:

    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 streams not using full resolution

    I was very excited about this feature but after testing it I realised it's not using the full res pictures on the shared photostream. Which for me is kind of a silly.
    Am I doing something wrong or is that how it's working?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
