Slow uploads to Photo Stream via iPhoto

Photos I upload to Photo stream from my Mac (from a DSLR camera) always upload very slowly. They're big images, 2-4 meg, so I would expect them to be slower than from my iPhone, but literally they can take 2-3 minutes each. Anybody know if that's normal? If so, why? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

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. Then add photos to the PS again.

    iCloud storage is not for files from your Mac.  It's just for mobile devices.  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    You should also read these two Apple Documents:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    To backup your library or photos get an external HD and use it with Time Machine to Backup your entire boot drive.

  • Moved iPhoto to external HD now photos won't upload to Photo Stream

    I moved iPhoto to an external HD connected to my iMac and now Photo Stream says it is uploading photos but nothing is happening. 
    After moving iPhoto (and selecting the new location as the default by holding down the Option key when opening the app) I added some photos by dragging them from Finder to iPhoto Library Photos.  I then dragged them from Library Photos to Photo Stream and all appeared to be fine.   However after an 2 hours it still says "Uploading 140 photos" but no photos are moving to the Photo Stream folder.  
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Quit out of iPhoto, relaunch and try again.  Also the following may help:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. See if that willjump start the upload to Photo Stream.

  • Can movies be uploaded in Photo Stream?

    Can movies made on iPhone, iPad or any camera be uploaded to Photo Stream?
    I took a move with iPhone and it did not upload. Then I pushed movie from iPhoto to Photo Stream and it did not upload.
    Thanks

    Sj,
    Those are really red herrings all.  The storage issue is the same whether you sync the videos over a USB cable or OTA, nichts wahr?!?
    And besides, Aperture is designed to have limitless library sizes; in fact, an Aperture library can span MULTIPLE physical drives, so your storage argument doesn't hold water.
    Now your argument regarding the syncing from the compluter to the iOS device is a sound one, but Apple has already addresed it by only keeping the last 1000 photos synced in the photostream; they could have done something similar for videos.
    Lastly, the 5G of storage only applies to your email, documents, and camera roll:
    Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage. Since your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data don’t use as much space, you’ll find that 5GB goes a long way.
    My real point and main question is why didn't apple at least give us the option of choosing to wirelessly sync our home-made videos like everything else.

  • "Gaps" in photo stream on iPhoto

    I am working with pictures I took on a recent vacation, some of which I uploaded from my camera and some of which were taken with my iPhone. When I went to my current photo stream on iPhoto, I noticed that not all of the pictures on my iPhone photostream were on there. And it's not the oldest or the newest that are missing. It's completely random. The photo right before and after it are on iPhoto but the picture between them is missing.
    Any ideas as to how to get them to sync properly?  I don't want to have to go through the hassle of emailing them all to myself and uploading them to iPhoto again.
    iOS6, Mountain Lion and iPhoto '11 all have the most recent updates, btw.
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Yes Roger thanks, I have Lion.
    But till Mobile me will be terminated there will be problem of idenification. For example I saw that it was useful to deselect all sync by itunes for my iPhone because there is a conflict with sync by iCloud.
    Also in my mailbox I had an .Mac account wich has been doubled by an ICloud mail box and now only my iCloud mail box receives mail. So I think I can suppress my .Mac mail box which doesn't connect anymore.
    Mobile me used to be so simple. I wish they had change once iCloud was really completed.
    So I have a dropbox now to do what mobile me used to do and iCloud is not able to do anymore.

  • 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.

  • New photos taken with my iPhone 4s are not being uploaded to photo stream...

    Last weekend I tool a few photos with my iPhone and they were uploaded to photo stream as soon as I connected to wifi. I was able to see them on my iPad and MacBook Pro as sooon as I opened iPhoto...
    Today I took a few more but they were not uploaded to photo stream when I connected to wifi... I reset photo stream and now it will not update...
    I havent really changed any settings on my iPhone... What can I do???

    Me too, I'm looking for help for that kind of problem.
    Two months ago, I posted this:
    hello,
    Once Icould control panel is opened on my computer, how can I send the files from my phone ? Because they are not coming by themselves.
    When I click on "Manage", I do see a back up made made in end 2013. How can I access to it from my computer ?
    And another question: In "photo stream options", when they say: "...and upload photos you add to your photo stream from this computer", the upload is only for photos which are inside the Icloud folder "photo stream", right ?
    If there is a photo on desktop or in "my pictures", it won't be uploaded ? Because I share my pc with someone and I don't want other things end up on my Iphone.
    Thank you for you help.

  • Not all photos are uploading to Photo Stream?

    I have an iPhone 4S and usually when I take a photo, a copy of it appears in Photo Stream (on the iPhone). It is also synced to my Mac Mini and new iPad.
    But recently, photos I take with either my iPhone or my iPad don't get uploaded. And in fact they don't even show up in their own Photo Stream group?!
    Are the servers having trouble or is there something else wrong?
    I have tried:
    • Switching Photo Stream on/off
    • Doing the above and powering the device on/off
    • Resetting Photo Stream via iCloud.com
    • Ensuring I am am connected to wifi (even taking pictures whilst connected to wifi)
    • Ensuring battery is charged (even tried charging and fully chared)
    Bascially in the past 48 hours 1 out of about 60 photos has uploaded, which is pretty annoying as I really needed Photo Stream to work these past couple of days.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    " Photo Stream does not work with video."
    On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections."

    Not sure why some photos would not be included.

  • How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto

    Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
    Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
    Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
    Thank you for any help!!
    Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service... 

    If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
    and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream,  the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
    When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

  • Photo Stream (via iCloud) is no longer working on PC -- w/o system changes

    Photo Stream (via iCloud) worked great on my Windows PC a week ago.  Suddenly it's stopped entirely.  When I attempt to open it, I get an error message that says that "Photo Stream is not enabled" and that I should go to the iCloud Control Panel.  When I go to the Control Panel to initiate the change, I can put a check mark in the box to activate it, but it will not retain the change when I hit apply/save.  It also disables Windows Explorer when I do this.
    I don't believe this is an IOS6 issue since it was working fine for a period of time after I put IOS6 on both my iPhone and iPad devices.  I've also not made any changes to the Windows laptop involved. 
    Is anyone else having this problem.  Any suggestions on how to resolve it?  

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

  • 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.

  • How to delete pictures in photo stream in iPhoto

    I have a whole bunch of pictures that I do not want to keep in photo stream in iPhoto on my macbook. 
    When I select the files I want to delete, it only gives me a quick "white" blank and does not respond.  Dragging the photos to the trash can does not work, either. 
    iPhoto has been my worst nightmare ever since I got my macbook.  It is just way too difficult to organize or keep track of my photos.  I need to visit this forum every time I need to do the simplest commands like deleting a file or transfering a file. 
    Please help.

    Where are you selecting the photos you want to remove from the Photo Stream?
    This should work:  See: How to delete photos from Photo Stream
    On a Mac using iPhoto 9.2.2 or later, or Aperture 3.2.3 or later:
    Select a photo or group of photos from the Photo Stream (or My Photo Stream) view in iPhoto or Aperture.
    Press the Delete key.
    Click Delete.

  • Photo Stream in iPhoto not updating

    My family has multiple iOS devices.  We utilize Photo Stream.  Pics on one device show up in Photo Stream on all devices.  That is okay.  When I open iPhoto on my MacBook, the Photo Stream doesn't contain any of the pictures from the devices.  Why is this?  Is there a way to fix?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. 
    Then log back in and re-enable, respectively makins sure Photo Stream is selected in the System preferences. That should jump start Photo Stream.
