Sharing photos on iCloud

I shared some photos recently with streaming with my sisters.  I tried to add some photos and resend them as sharing through streaming, and it comes up with this:
Does this mean my email username and password or what.  I haven't changed anything since the last time, and I have also signed into my email through the internet web site so as to enter my email and password to see that it is the one that works, and it does, so I don't know what to do about this.
<Email Edited By Host>

I never had MobileMe, but I have used the sharing feature in iCloud.  The official name is called "Shared Photo Streams".  It will only be viewable by someone running iOS 6 or later and the latest version of iPhoto (it may work on PC, but not sure).
Set up on Mac:
1) Open iPhoto
2) On the left toolbar, select "Photos"
3) Select all the photos you want to share
4) Select "Share" at the bottom left of the window
5) Click Photo Stream
6) Here you can add them to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one
For a new one, just finish following the on screen instructions
Set up on iOS device (requires 6.0 or later):
1) Go to the Photos app
2) Select "Photos" from the toolbar at the top
3) Click "Edit" at the top right
4) Select the photos you wish to share
5) Click "Share"
6) Click "Photo Stream"
7) Here you can add the selected photos to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one.
For a new one, follow the rest of the on screen instructions

  • Sharing photos to iCloud with Aper 3.6 no longer works

    Hello:
    It appears that the option to share photos to iCloud from within Aperture no longer works (option is there but is greyed out).  I think this occurred sometime during the recent update cycles to Yosemite and IOS but I haven't used it for some time so I'm not sure.  All I'm doing is selecting my photo and hitting share->iCloud which has worked well in the past.  I can see a fair amount of chatter about this and/or similar issues but I haven't been able to discern if anyone has come up with a solution.
    Any help / comments appreciated

    Using Yosemite and Aper 3.6 on a late 2009 27 iMac (need a new one....soon)

    I believe I may have misspoke, was thinking about something else.
    You've probably been thinking of iCloud Photo Library (Beta) , see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support . That is a real killer .
    iTunes Photo Sync will no longer upload photos to iOS 8 devices - iTunes will just show a prompt, that photos can now be uploaded using iCloud.
    My Photo Steam will no longer upload to iOS devices from the Macs. That is, what many users have reported, but I do not know any Apple Support document that confirms it.
    On iOS 8 devices is the Camera Roll no longer  visible.
    The only ways I know to upload from the Mac to iOS devices with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) active, is Mail, Dropbox, or https://www.icloud.com/#photos.

  • Shared photos on icloud

    I have deleted the photos from my photo stream, but have photos that are on 'shared streams' on my icloud.  As these are now in my iphotos and saved on my computer and my passport, is there any way I can delete thenm from my phone?  When I try it tells me I can only delete photos I have saved and not shared ones.

    You can only delete photos from a shared stream, that you yourself added to the stream. Are you the owner of the shared stream? If you are not the owner, unsubscribe from the shared stream, if you no longer want the stream on your devices.

  • Trouble sharing photos with iCloud

    I am trying to share photos from my wife's iPad mini to my iMac using iCloud.
    I created an album with about 20 photos on her iPad and shared it using my email. I received the email invitation on my iMac to subscribe to her album. I double clicked and there is now an icon in iMac iPhoto>iCloud>Family and Friends' Streams with the name of the album from the iPad.
    However, there are no photos in the new icon. I have enabled iCloud>Photos>iCloud Photo Sharing in System Preferences on both the iMac and the iPad.
    Why aren't the photos showing up in the iMac iPhoto?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I had to create TIFF files for 30 fotos or so. The other 50 did not pose a problem. I am still not 100% clear why this is. I suspect this has to do with having those photos coming from iPhoto and then imported into Aperture.
    Before I hit this issue, I just re-installed Mavericks, because I experienced hanging situations. Mail would have hanging threads ("waiting for semaphore"). Basically after 20 hours or so, apps that use the cloud would all be hanging. There was no way to get this going again, apart from a reboot.
    So I decided to reinstall Mavericks.
    After the new installation I noticed that some iCloud streams were not visible in Aperture, that is where I created that missing stream and started to copy the photos to it. And that is where I encountered this hang issue in Aperture.
    Retrospectively, I suspect the hanging apps were also caused by this.
    So for people who experience hanging iCloud apps, try to delete all photostreams and re-set them. If you notice that Aperture becomes unresponsive, Quit Aperture and re-start it. Then right click on the photo and select "edit the photo in an external program". This will create a TIFF version of the photo that caused Aperture to become unresponsive when copying it to the photostream. Reject the original photo and copy the TIFF to the photostream.
    Do this will all photos that cause Aperture to become unresponsive when you copy them to a photostream.
    Don't forget to rebuild Aperture's database by holding command-option while clicking the Aperture icon. After rebuilding, you will find a lost folder with the fotos that were in the stream.
    You may have to re-create the stream after all "bad" photos have been identified and the re-build was successful and then copy all photos in one go.
    Good luck.

  • Sharing photos through iCloud as "Public Website"

    Is there a way to password protect photo albums that you have shared through iCloud as a "Public Website"? Is obscurity the only protection for the photos (i.e., that no one else knows the link to the album website)?

    You can't password protect it.  As you mentioned, the only protection is that the url is only known to people you invite, and is unlikely to be discovered by others.

  • When sharing photos with iCloud the geotags disappear, how do I get the location?

    The place where a photo was taken is displayed in Photos but not in the shared folder, when pictures are shared with iCloud the information just isn't there. It's not from the settings, everything is enabled. I have no idea why it doesn't work properly but it's of no use to me to share pictures with someone if we don't know where the other person's photos have been taken. Am I missing something? How do I get someone else's photos with their geotags?

    Use View -> Status bar ; and click on it so the tick/check mark appears.
    Note in the next version firefox 4 the status bar is being replaced see [[What happened to the Status Bar?]], and if you want something similar you will then need to use an add-on.

  • TS3989 Aperture freezes on sharing photos with iCloud

    I wanted some control over the photos that appear in my Photo Stream when I'm using Apple TV. I created an Album in Aperture, then placed a selection of photos into the album. I created a Photo Stream on iCloud and when I select all the photos and drop them on the iCloud icon, I get a dialogue box, offering some configuration options in iCloud.
    When I click 'OK' Aperture freezes. I can access the application menu to quit, but I can't use any other apps on my computer - the selected photos remain unmovable, in the foreground. Two photos actually copied to the Photo Stream.
    When I repeated the exercise, the same two photos are duplicated in the Photos Stream. I deleted the stream and tried again - same result.

    I had to create TIFF files for 30 fotos or so. The other 50 did not pose a problem. I am still not 100% clear why this is. I suspect this has to do with having those photos coming from iPhoto and then imported into Aperture.

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

  • Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

    I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream.  I've carefully sorted the photos in the album.  But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders.  In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
    Is there a fix?

    please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it!   Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums.  If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added.  Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new.  iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
    I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

  • Problem with shared photo streams in iCloud

    I am using version 9.6 of iPhoto on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1. All of a sudden I cannot see any photos in my shared photo streams in iCloud - all the streams are showing up and the subscribers but it says there are 0 photos. It is the same for mine and other people's shared photo streams. I can still see all the photos on my iPhone and iPad. I have not been able to find a solution online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Sometimes it helps to delete the cached copy of the Photo Streams from your user library.
    Open the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/          in your user library in your home folder.
    Remove the complete folder iLifeAssetManagement/ to your Desktop and compress it.
    Then restart your mac.
    Your user library may still be hidden.
    To open the hidden User Library:
    Quit iPhoto.
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it)
    In the window that opens select the folder "Application Support", then look for " iLifeAssetManagement/"

  • Shared photo streams don't appear anymore after icloud account change

    Hi guys,
    I've two icloud accounts: account A and account B.
    Some days ago I switched my main icloud account (on my iPhone) from Account A to Account B.
    Today I come back to Account A, and I expected to have again in my iphone all the Shared photo streams I had (both created by me and subscribed).
    Instead in my iphone I cannot find any of my streamed stuff.
    Can you help me to find again my streams?
    Thanks!

    I attach four screenshots Yann - one is the project hierarchy - where you'll see PhotoStream appearing in Recent items, but not under the Web section (where you do see Facebook) and the other the preferences pane for PhotoStream in Aperture showing all three boxes checked.
    Attachments one and two are from my wife's computer - where she's not seeing shared PhotoStreams.
    Attachments three and four are from my computer - we I do see them.
    What I notice when I compare these side by side is that there is a difference in the setting panel for photo stream between the two.  Mine has a fourth option for shared photo streams - my wife's doesn't.
    Yet both s/w versions for Aperture are 3.4.5.  There is a difference in what is listed in the Aperture version after the version number, but both computers are fully up to date with no further updates available.  (Final two images first my wife's then my s/w version)
    Is your view/settings any different?

  • 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.
