Shared Photo Streams - uploads from multiple users?

Hi all,
Quick question regarding the new Shared Photo Stream feature in iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 on iPhoto. You can invite others to be a part of your shared Photo Stream, but if this just so they can view the photos you put in there? I was wondering if others could add their photos in there too, or would they need to set up their own Shared Photo Stream? I'm fairly sure this isn't possible yet but just wanted to check.
Thanks in advance!

They can only comment on your photos, they can't add to them.  They would have to set up their own shared photo stream.

  • Shared photo stream gone from iOS but still on laptop

    I own a shared photo stream that was created on my iPhone. Sometime in the past few hours it disappeared from my phone, iPad and the other iPhone under my Apple ID. However it still shows on my laptop and is up to date. How can I get it back on my iOS devices?

    If these photos are precious, it's worth considering purchasing a file recovery program. I accidently deleted a whole batch of emails and I bought online and used an application called FileSalvage (about £50) which recovers all types of files. You can select it to just look for image files and then just recover those.
    If so, limit your use of your Mac as of now, as you will be writing data to your hard disk all the time when saving and potentially write over picture data that's sitting on your hard disk.
    Although Mail's .emix file format is not a common file type, it did the job, so image files will be easy.

  • Importing Photos and Music from Multiple users on the same Mac

    I am the same person with multiple users on one iMac. I need to have the same pics and music files on all of the user names on the one computer.
    I have the family pack MobileMe plan.
    Where are the files located for the photos and music in iTunes?
    I would like to import them from one user to another user on the same computer.
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If you Import the files from one User to another then you will use double the disk space on your HD as you will have multiple copies of everything. Why not simply share the files between accounts?
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Shared Photo & Music Libraries for Multiple Users on Same Machine

    I've setup multiple users on a single machine and I'm trying to have a common shared folder for photos (w/ Adobe PSE) and music (w/ iTunes). First, on photos:
    -Tried setting up a folder on /users/shared/pictures. How can I "share" the main folder and have permissions carry down to all subfolders and files?
    -I've given the other user permission, but when logged on, Finder window only displays icon, not preview of image? In cover flow mode, image shows up, though?
    -Is this the best approach or is /me/public the better way or /me/pictures (shared) a better way?
    And then on music:
    -recommendations on best approach to have a single library with multiple users and multiple iTunes accounts.
    Thanks in advance

    The iTunes sharing is for sharing music between computers on a network.
    To share music on a single PC, read this article

  • Photo stream  upload from  PC to Iphone

    Can  someone  suggest  how  to  resolve  a  problem  uoloading  from  photostream   on PC  to  Iphone ?

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content an photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    If you manually manage photo storage on your computer - manually creating folders for select photos, create a new folder which will be a parent folder to store the named folders with photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the folders with photos you want transferred to your iPhone in the parent folder. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder and all the folders within that contain photos will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.

  • 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.

  • 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... ]

  • Streaming from multiple user accounts......problem

    With my initial set up I had no problem. I have a large iTunes Library. 48k songs. Over 270 GB of files. I synced a few photos and some music for the AppleTV slide shows but everything else I was going to stream. Streaming is working wonderfully from MY user account but if I try and stream a similar sized library from another user account on the same computer it is "NO JOY". I get the "loading library" dialog with the little circle of dashes going round and round but it eventually gives up and does not load. I have tried this with iTunes running on my user account and with iTunes turned off on my user account and either way the library from the other user account will NOT load. I am at a loss here. The set up for the second user went smoothly. I clicked add a library and got a key code on my TV screen. AppleTV showed up in the devices column in iTunes of the second user account and accepted the key code but like I said earlier the library will just not load for streaming. Streaming from my first user account is still working well. I have not found any discussion topics dealing with streaming from multiple user accounts. Hopefully someone who is doing this will chime in and help me out if possible.

    The only way I have been able to get this to work is to quit the iTunes that I am currently streaming from. Switch (on the computer) users to the library I want to stream from. Start iTunes on that user. If I follow this I can get AppleTV to load the library of the second user. If I do NOT quit iTunes from the first user it will not load the second user's library. If I have iTunes from the second user running at the same time I quit the first user's iTunes it will NOT load the second users library. I guess it is a bug and will need to be fixed with the next software release. I would like to be able to switch among user libraries at will and independent of which user is currently using the computer.

  • HT201077 Shared Photo Streams do not upload full sized photos!

    Oh boy, so it seems that Apple's "optimized for your device" policy with photos has reared its ugly head again (PLEASE, just give us an option for optimizing the size or leaving it the original size like you do for compressing songs to 128kps on our devices!!!!)!  The addition of Shared Photo Streams seemed a godsend to me, as prior to iOS 6, my wife's iPhone was stuck in this iCloud ID ghetto, where her device's main account was mine so that we shared the same Photo Stream.  This way, when I went into Aperture on the Mac to process and import photos to our home library, all of our mobile pictures were in one place.  This came with the consequence that the other "main" iCloud features, such as (inexplicably) Safari syncing, were unusable to her as they were from my personal settings.  So once shared Photo Streams came about, I thought "Perfect!  Now I can just share all of my photos to her iCloud ID, and then all of our combined pictures will show up in Aperture!"  The problem is that, when I looked at the pictures on the Mac from the shared photo stream, they only were available at the "optimized" 3 megapixel resolution for iPhone, not the original 8 megapixel pictures are the photos from the main iCloud ID ones are.  This is a huge deal for two reasons, 1.  I can't import and process these pictures for saving permanently they're more than HALF the original resolution, 2. Anyone that I share photos to, friends, family, who want to maybe save those to their computer for printing and whatnot, are ALSO stuck with a halfbaked low resolution file!
    I did have the a-ha idea, that perhaps if I shared photos from Aperture on my mac to my wife's Photo Stream, perhaps it would then share the full resolution photo as that's what Aperture gets from iCloud's servers.  Alas, no, still the shared photo stream only gets the compromised file.  There has GOT to be a way for the full resolution pics to be shared, otherwise the service is nearly useless to me!  As far as I knew, shared photostreams just link to the original files, so it's not like this will take up any more space on Apple's servers.  If someone has a solution, let me know!
    The only other solution is to allow the use of more than one Photostream account on a Mac with Aperture.  I feel that this is a no-brainer, and a little silly.  Either you provide family style iCloud accounts for uses like Photo Stream, or you accept that every iOS user in a family will have their own Photo Stream.  This means that they need to be able to be accessed on the same family computer.

    I have this same issue except with iPhoto.  We each have our own computers and I thought the shared photostream would allow us to each have all the photos, but they aren't full sized. 

  • How can I view and upload videos to shared photos streams on mac

    I use shared photo streams alot how can I view videos uploaded to a shared photo stream on my mac

    You can not at this time - tha tis only an IOS 7 and PC feature today - mayber with future software releases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
    AppleTV (second generation) with Apple TV Software Update 6.0 or later
    If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you will be able to view videos and see photos and video added by all contributors from any up-to-date browser.

  • 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.

  • I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

    You would lose photo stream photos older than 30 days from your my photo stream folder.  Tto keep them save them to the camera roll first.  To do this in iOS 7, open your my photo stream alburm, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the lower left, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    The photo streams from others should reappear when you turn it back on.  Worst case, the owners of the shared photo streams would have to re-invite you.

  • 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.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    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.
