TS3989 how can I share a photo stream from my mac? there's no check box in system preferences to turn it on

I've been having trouble to share my photo stream with other from my mac. Once I selecte the photos and click share>photo stream, nothing else happens. The option for "new photo stream" does not appear, neither the field where you type in the email addresses from people you whant to share it with. I all ready checked in iphoto'11> system Pref.> photo stream and there's no "shared photo strem" check box to turn on or off... I also checked in my mac system pref to be sure that my icloud is enabled and it is.
If I select photos and then go to my tool bar and press share. the option of photo stream is not available.
I also can't accept any shared photo stream from other and view it in my iphoto. I can only access it via web.
I DO can use my photo stream correctly and share it via my iphone. and every picture that I take uploads into my mac and every photo I import from cameras into my iphoto also uploads fine into my Ph stream. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T SHARE THEM FROM MY MAC.....
Please can someone help me?

You turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane:
Check the box "Automatic Upload" to add every photo imported into the library to the Photo Stream.  Or leave it unchecked and manually add just selected photos to the stream by dragging them onto the Photo Stream heading in the left hand pane.

  • TS3989 How can I share my Photo Stream with my family?

    How can I share my Photo Stream with my family?  I have a Macbook Pro and an IPhone, and The Cloud.  They have IPhones and Macbooks.

    At the moment you cannot share your Photo Stream. Just wait a couple of weeks until iOS 6 and Shared Photo Streams will be released: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#photostreams

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

    My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

    To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream).  To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your mom's phone wont be effected by this.  Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.)  Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

  • In iOS 8, how can I share my photo stream AND assign different names to each of our devices in Find My Friends?

    I'm using the iPhone 5c, and iPad mini, and my wife has a 5c, too.  We used to use my iCloud account as the main account on everything, so we could share our photos as we took them.  But now in iOS 8, Find My Friends is moved to iCloud.  I can't add my wife to Find My Friends, because it lists me on all of the devices.  How can I go back to taking a photo and it showing up on her device while allowing us to find each other?

    I chatted with Apple tech support.  They said [add rolling eyes here] that this is easily solved with the new Family Sharing feature.  In other words, I sign in on my phone, my wife signs in on hers, and we share our photos in the Family folder.  Of course, no photos are automatically shared in the Family folder.  It's just a shared folder, something anybody could have created in iOS 7.  I would still have to drag all of my photos and my wife would have to drag all of her photos to the folder in order to share them.  Also, I notice that app updates on her phone are strangely being downloaded under her account, so when we make a change, it says the downloaded app will have to be deleted, because it was not downloaded through my account.  This Family Sharing thing is a joke.  I told the tech support lady that this didn't feel like much of a "feature" at all.  She suggested that I provide feedback if I didn't like it, which I did.
    So there is no way to do what I'm wanting to do under iOS 8 at the moment.  I love Apple products, but wow, iCloud is a disaster at the moment.  Just look at all of the people who upgraded to iOS 8 and upgraded to iCloud Drive without understanding the implications.  Now they're getting an error message that they need to download Yosemite in order to access their documents, even though Yosemite isn't available to the public yet.  Not well planned.  In the meantime, we just don't share our photos in exchange for finding each other for lunch. 

  • How can I sever my Photo Stream from iPhoto '11?

    Hi, supporters! I want to give my macbook away (running OS 10.7.5) but don't want iPhoto to be linked to my personal Photo Stream. I know I can turn Photo Stream "off" in iPhoto, but I want my iCloud account permanently severed from the iPhoto application. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • TS3989 How do I view my photo stream from ipad and iphone on icloud?

    I have icloud on but it does not show my photos or photo stream when I log into icloud on my PC.

    My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  They are not backed up, only your camera roll photos are backed up.  If all your photo stream photos are older than 30 days, you would not get them back when you signed back into your iCloud account.  Shared photo streams remain in iCloud indefinitely and should reappear on your device when you sign back in.

  • How can I copy a photo book from a mac book pro to a mac

    We have all our photobooks on our Mac. There are just two old ones that were made on an mac book pro and we want to transfer them to the mac so we have everything together.
    How should we do this?

    Copy the iPhoto library that you used to create the photo books to your new mac.
    Then double-click the library to open it in iPhoto (assuming you are using iPhoto '11).  What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X verserion?
    Did you use an earlier iPhoto version to create the photo books on your old mac? Then the books may change when you open them in a newer version of iPhoto because the Book Themes changed between versions. In that case it would be better to keep the iPoto libraries on the old mac with the older iPhoto version, until you are sure that opening the iPhoto libraries in the current iPhoto on your mac will not change the layout.

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.
