Trouble creating shared photo streams

A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
None of this seems to make any sense.
Thanks,
Lorraine

Trouble with sharing photo streams.

Hello,
A while ago my friend and I have created this shared photo stream album so we can stay in touch while I travel. Everything was working just fine but suddenly I noticed that the pictures I was sending weren't going through for some reason. So I tried sharing another one again.. But she is not receiving any of my emails and when she does, after pressing "Join this shared photo stream" it says that my photo stream isn't shared anymore. So now I can't share or anyone can share photo streams with me! I don't know why this is happening. I did some research and I couldn't find a topic for this problem. PLEASE HELP ME !!!! I AM DESPERATE!
Thanks in advanced.

No option to create shared photo stream?

I'm using Aperture 3.4.1 on both my iMac and my MacBook and am unable to create a shared photostream on either.
According to the instructions at http://help.apple.com/aperture/mac/3.3/#aprd8aa8a57, the user is supposed to:
To create a shared photo stream
Select the photos you want to share, then do one of the following:
Choose File > Share > Photo Stream.
Choose Photo Stream from the Share pop-up menu in the toolbar.
In the Photo Stream dialog, choose New Photo Stream from the Photo Stream pop-up menu.
In the To field, type the email addresses for your invitees., etc.
However, I never receive a Photo Stream dialogue or an option to choose "New Photo Stream". When I click on PhotoStream from File>Share, Aperture immediately begins uploading the photos to my main feed. Occasionally there is a flash that makes me wonder if Aperture is somehow suppressing a dialogue box.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

You are not mentioning your Mac OS X Version:
Just to be sure: Are you running MacOS X 10.8.2? Otherwise you cannot use a Shared PhotoStream.
And you have to enable "Shared PhotoStream" in "System Preferences > Photo Stream > Options".

Shared Photo Streams - Some Pictures Will Just Not Share

I am using Aperture to create Shared Photo Streams.
I have created 20 or so Shared Photo Streams, many of which work as advertised.
But I have a couple of situations where certain photos just refuse to get shared in to any Shared Photo Stream.
I discovered the issue when I noticed that for a couple of my Shared Photo Streams, the count of the Share Photo Stream was not the same as the number of pictures selected.
When I started investigating, I realized that there are certain photos that simply will not appear in any Shared Photo Stream. I can't see any difference between these photos and the ones in the same album that share fine.
I have reparied the database and repaired permissions, neither helped.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Suggestions?
Best,
Robert

Quick update on this.
I tried sharing a couple of the problematic photos the next stay and still no luck.
Last night I tried again hoping that the bugs were more on the backend than in Aperture itself and lo and behold I was able to successfully share all the photos I wanted.
So that this point everything is working as expected.
I guess chalk this one up to growing pains of a new service.
All in all, Shared Photostreams are very nice.

Shared Photo Streams without keeping files in my computer

Hello,
I've been taking pictures for about 8 years, and I'm now looking for ways to store them online. I'm talking about over 150GB of pictures, which would be impossible to fit on the internal 128GB SSD. Therefore, is there any way I could create shared photo streams without having to actually store the files on my computer permanently?
Thank you!

Shared Photo Streams need to be tied to one iPhoto Library. You could use an external drive to store your iPhoto Library and connect this drive only, when you want to add to your Photo Streams. You could share the PhotoStreams to yourself, then publish them to a Website, where only you know the URL. You can view the website, even with the drive with the library disconnected.

Can't create new photo streams in Aperture

When I select new photos to add to a photo stream, I am not prompted to create a new photo stream, they are simply sent to the stock photo stream that is already shared between my iPhone and Aperture. How can I create new photo streams in Aperture if the standard method doesn't work for me? What is wrong with my setup that I can't follow the videos of instructions because I don't get a dialog box when I try to share?
Thanks,
Will

Is your Profile signature correct Mac OS X (10.7.5) ? Then you cannot create Shared Photo Streams. They require OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4, see:
Using and troubleshooting shared photo streams.
You can create Shared Photo Streams with:
an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 6
a Mac using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 with Photo 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later
a PC using Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista with the iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed. (iCloud Control Panel 2.1 required with Windows 8.)
If your system is compatible with shared streams, check, if you have enabled shared streams in both the System Preferences and Aperture's Preferences.

Cannot save videos from My "shared photo stream" to my camera roll??

I have created Shared photo stream. Earlier, added videos from my camera roll to my shared photo stream. Since then, I have deleted my camera roll. So now, I'm in my shared photo stream (created by me); select video(s) and "save to camera roll". But will not save there. I get a thumbnail showing JPG letters but no actual video or even photo. Note- I can save photos to camera roll from shared stream just fine. Another note- I wish there was option "send to Dropbox" when I'm viewing videos in my created shared photo stream. I'm having a hard time finding any way it get videos from my own shared photo stream into Dropbox. My PC is really old, still running windows XP and really slow. My iPhone 4 is still on 7.0 because I don't have needed space to update to 7.1. Thank you all for any advise!

Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

How do I create a shared photo stream?

I see discussions regarding shared photo streams - all pertaining to issues with existing shared photo streams. I don't see anything that provides instructions on how to create a shared photo stream. How is this accomplished? And how do I allow someone access to my shared photo stream?

If you're creating it from iPhoto on your Mac this screenshot describes how;

How do you create a shared photo stream on the ipad

I've updated my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 6 but I can't figure out how to create a shared photo stream.
I've followed the instructions on apples website but it's as if the feature is missing.
Anyone else tried using the feature?

Went crazy since I had no "new iCloud agreement" request. Anyway I updated my account infos and finally found in Settings > iCloud > Photo Streaming the button to enable Shared Photo Steams button

Can I add photo's to a shared photo stream created by my friend?

Me and my friends are sharing photo streams with the new feature in iOS6, and we noticed that only one person can add the photos and the rest can view. Is there a way for my friends to be able to add photos to the photo stream that I am sharing with them. It is kind of pointless if this feature is not available becuase we have to have 3 separate photo streams to view all 3 of our photos, when we could just simply do it in one.

In iPhoto Drag them to the shared PhotoStream that yoou wan tto add them to

HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Youre trying to delete photos from someone else's shared photostream. You can only delete photos that belong to you.

Shared Photo Stream not working on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5

I currently have a shared stream with my wife on my iPad and her iPhone. I want to share photo's with her from my MacBook. I have turned on photo stream in iCloud preferences and photo share in iPhoto preferences. I select the photo's to share in iPhoto, click on the share icon, then photo stream. Nothing happens, I don't get any option to add or create a shared photo stream. In the source list my photo stream in the latest category, I see in iCloud help it is in the Web category. Not sure if this is the problem. I just want to share photo's from my Macbook Pro.

As far as I know, D2 will only work on legacy systems that do not run on intel processors. The game only works on the older PowerPC system, unfortunately.

TS3989 I had photos on my camera roll on my old phone, bought a new one and selected those photos to be a shared photo stream but when I sent it to my wife and opened it on my new phone it says there are no photos shared - these photos are more than 30 da

Just bought a new iPhone 5 and wanted to send pics from my camera roll on my iphone 4 as a shared photo stream to my new phone and my wife's phone.
I selected the pictures and created the photo stream and it showed up on my new phone and she was able to accept invite, but when opened the stream contained 0 photos and a message that says "No Shared Photos"
These pictures were admitedly older than 30 days. Is that the rule that pictures from your camera roll older than 30 days cannot be shared as photo stream?
I apprecaite all guidance on this issue. For those answering - yes everything else photostream wise is connected and working so there's no issue with setup - my question simply is can a user upload photos older than 30 days from the camera roll to a shared photostream?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
30 days is only applicable to My photostream and even then it applies from the time they were added not mwhen they were taken (unless it's the same time)
I'd be inclined to restart your wife's phone and see if that helps, otherwise you might try turning photostream off and on again on her phone.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

HT201317 can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

No. At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.
