Specific Photo Stream questions

I was wondering if there was any way I could make the pictures I take on my iphone automatically go into a shared photo stream, in addition to the one it already goes into automatically that sync's with all my devices. Any help would great! Thanks!

Not directly from the iPhone, to my knowledge. But perhaps someone on the iPhoto forum can help you.

Shared photo stream questions
Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
Here's where I'm (further) confused...
On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... " image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
Thanks!

You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

Photo streaming question

I'm not sure where this question ought to be posted, so I apologize if its the wrong section.
In anycase, I wish to know how to erase a photo on photo streaming.
Thanks!

To get the photos on another devices you either have to share them or both have to be using the same iCloud account.
What do you think share means?

Photo Stream question!

hello! guys
Is that Photo Stream works just wifi connection?
i think take a picture on my iphone and my photo will be streaming through my cellular data connection to my home located ipad. but i'm going on wifi coverage places my phono immediatly streamed, not works through cellular data!

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: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections."

ICloud/iPhone 4S Photo Stream question

How do I delete individual photos in Photo Stream album which were taken by my iPhone 4S (with iCloud switched on)?

You can't delete individual photos from the Stream with today's iOS version (rumor is that the next verson will allow this - we'll see). You have to log into iCloud.com and in there disable Photo Stream. Then remove Photo stream from each device (go to settings), then turn iCloud's photo stream again, as well as each device.

Stupid photo stream question, but..

all my iPhone photo's appeared on my desk tops iPhoto via photo stream until 2nd Sept. Then it all stopped. What happened? what should I be using to ensure my iPhone photo's are backed up to my desktop?
Thanks
Wayno

What happened right before September 2?
Did you update any software? Which version of iPhoto are you using? Which MacOS X version?
Which iOS version are you using on your iPhone?
To ensure, that photos are downloaded from your iPhone to your mac, connect it to a USB port, and then open iPhoto. Import all new photos and videos. Videos will not download via My Photo Stream anyway.
Check the settings for My Photo Stream on all devices as described in this document:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
The photo stream will only upload, if the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, the Camera.app has been closed and is not running in the background, and the iPhone is properly charged.

Photo stream questions

Everyone in my family has an iPhone five, however, when I take a picture, it ends up in not only my camera roll, but the photo stream that, for some reason my sister has access to on her device, and vice versa. We both find this bothersome, and are wondering how to fix it. Additionally, I was wondering if anybody knew what happens when you delete a photo from your camera roll... Is it automatically deleted from the photo stream? What about when you delete a photo from photo stream?

You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

Camera Roll/Photo Stream Questions

A few CR/PS Questions. I have automatic transfer to PS enabled on iPhone 4S, husband's iPhone5 and iMac all using same appleID/iCloud account.
1) When I edit a picture in a camera roll and save it, the edited version (which is the one I want) does not show up in PhotoStream. Any way to make this happen?
2) If I take a bad picture and delete it from CR, it still shows up in PS. Do I have to delete it from BOTH CR and PS separately or is there a way to do this simultaneously? Additionally, is there a time frame in which I can delete from CR before it shows up in PS?
3) PS Events on iMac: Once created (April 2013 for example), can I split and create my own events without fearing the pics will ever be deleted from iMac?
4) Is there ever any time there is an advanatge to editing a picture in PS vs CR on an iOS device?

re: 1, I typically don't edit photos from within the Photo app, but I tried a couple things just now.
If I edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to PS, then the CR version gets replaced with the edited version but that does not get pushed to PS.
If I disconnect from Wi-Fi and take a new photo and then edit it in CR, then once I get back on Wi-Fi the edited version does get pushed to PS. Not the best workaround, but it works.
Alternatively, if I use a 3rd party editor (e.g. Photo Toaster) to edit an existing photo in CR which has previously been uploaded to CR, then the edited version is saved in CR and gets pushed to PS. This may be the better way to do your editing since it seems that the native Photo app does not accomplish what you want.

If I downloaded photos onto my iPad from a non apple device how do I get them off. The delete button doesn't highlight when I select them.

Try signing out and back in to the iCloud control panel.

Automatic Import Of Photo Streams I Subscribe To (not mine)

Sorry, if this question has already been answered, I could not find the info in my feeble search attempts.
My understanding of the Automatic Import setting for Aperture is that it automatically imports my Photo Stream and only my Photo Stream. Aperture automatically creates a new Project for each month of Photo Stream import.
It does not automatically import any photos from any of the other Photo Streams I'm subscribing to.
Correct?
Is there a way to automatically import the photos from these other, subscribed to Photo Streams?
Could a Smart Album do this? I couldn't seem to figure out how to create one. I couldn't get the source to point to the specific Photo Stream.

It does not automatically import any photos from any of the other Photo Streams I'm subscribing to.
Correct?
Yes, you have to import from the Shared Photo Szreams manually by dragging the items to a project in your library.
Is there a way to automatically import the photos from these other, subscribed to Photo Streams?
I don't know of any option in Aperture that could do this.
Could a Smart Album do this? I couldn't seem to figure out how to create one. I couldn't get the source to point to the specific Photo Stream.
Smart albums can only refer to library items that already have been imported. So that will not work.
You will see an alert in the Aperture item, if someone adds a photo to a shared stream. So simply import when you see the alert.
Sorry, I have not really a solution, unless you would be willing to write an Apple Script, that checks for new photos and imports.

Photo stream account questions

good day all!
hoping to get some advice as i searched the web and cant find it.
both questions pertain to photo stream
1. if i am using a 'shared photo stream' is there a setting that will allow me to automatically upload every photo i take on my iphone 4s to the shared photo stream. if such what is the method.
2. is it possible to have more than one photo stream account on the same computer. i know i downloaded icloud on my computer but it didnt tell me if it was possible to have more than one photo stream account. i noticed i could sign out of icloud and assume sign in with a different account but how would it seperate both and what would happen to the first photo stream account when i logged off the computer.
thanks for answering!
matt

but my old mobile me settings
Make sure you are using the correct Apple ID user name and password.
On your MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect the box then restart your Mac.
On your iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on, then reset.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto Album into my Photo Stream?

How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto album into My Photo Stream so that I can use my Apple TV to show them in a slideshow on my TV?

That is not possible - PhotoStream has no organizational capability - no albums or other organization
With the correct software versions You can import from PS into an iPhoto event on your Mac either automatically (by setting the iPhoto preference to do that) or manually and then you can add the photos ot an iPhoto album and sync to Apple TV
what version of iPhoto do you have? Is OS X 10.7.5 correct for your OS?

HT201317 How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

Yeah...that's the one thing that's odd about PS Touch; you'll have to browse for your desired images. I'm not sure if it expects for the user to have what could be hundreds of images in a folder (which is why I would prefer to go through Android Gallery; I can open the first image from Android Gallery into PS Touch, but if I want to add any more I have to do it PS Touch's way).
