Sharing photo's in iPhoto

As admin of my computer, I have another user on my computer and I'd like to give them access to iPhoto to look at photos. Is there a way to allow access without having to upload photos on their side (which of course would be duplicates and take away HD space?

you can turn on sharing in iphoto preferences. then, so long as both of you are logged in, the other user will be able to see your pictures. For a more complicated solution which does not require both users to be logged in at the same time, see my post in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7743956#7743956].

  • Cannot access shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3 on mac

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3.  The directions in help tell me to go to iPhoto preferences > photo stream, and check the box next to "select the shared photo stream checkbox".  There is no such option in my version.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3
    Is this a shared photo album from iPhoto on a mobile device or a Shared Photo Stream?
    If a shared Photo Stream you should have this preference pane in iPhoto 9.4.3:
    Check the boxes as shown in this screenshot and then go to the Photo Stream section in iPhoto and see if they appear.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT201077 Shared Photo stream to iPhoto

  • 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.

  • Trouble sharing photo created on iphoto

    I tried to send a message created on iphoto but i keep getting a message saying the server doesn't recognize my email password

    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the mail account that's there.  Now add it back.
    Another option and better IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preferences pane.  Mail gives you a sent version of every email, better access to your Contacts and also has photo templates in Mail's stationary section.

  • 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
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

  • HT4906 why doesn't iPhoto shared photo stream update

    I have created a shared phot stream on my IOS devices and they update ok.
    I have invited others and they are allowed to post.
    I can see all posted photo's on all IOS devices.
    I cannot see any phot's posted by oyhers on my Mac in iPhoto.
    iPhoto updates fine when I post from an IOS device but does not when someone else posts.
    Ny ideas how I can see all shared photo's in iPhoto on my Mac the same as all the IOS subscribers

    Are your IOS devices on IOS 7? And have your shared streams been created on IOS 7?
    iPhoto '11 on Mt. Lion is not yet fully compatible with the new Shared Photo Streams format on IOS 7 devices. It does not yet allow two-way sharing of streams. The photos that others add to your shared photo streams are not visible in iPhoto '11. You will have to wait for an iPhoto '11 update, that will bring the full compatibility with the new Photo Steam formats and probably will come with the next MacOS X release Mavericks.
