Unable to log in to Shared Photo Streams

I downloaded Apple TV 5.1 last night to try using shared photo streams.  The update processed fine. When I went to photo stream it won't connect, I just get a message that the server is unavailable.  I haven't tried anything else on the Apple TV after the update so this may be a bigger i

Hello all,
It appears that this issue is related to specific network/Internet configurations. If you are experiencing this issue (some features work over WiFi but not Ethernet) after updating to Apple TV version 5.1, please send me <[email protected]> an email with this information:
1. What is the manufacturer, model number and firmware version (if possible) of your Ethernet router?
2. What is the manufacturer, model number and firmware version (if possible) of your WiFi router? (if it is different)
3. What is your Internet service provider?
4. Where are you located geographically? (what city?)
5. What Internet features do work over Ethernet?
6. What Internet features do not work over Ethernet?
7. Does it read "Activation Failed" at the bottom right in Settings > General > About?
Please make the subject line of your email be "Some features work over WiFi but not Ethernet".
Thanks,
Roy

  • I am unable to transfer photos from my camera roll to a shared photo stream.

    I have be able to get 297 pics over to a shared photo stream, but it is very temperamental. Ever since I started trying to transfer over photos, my iphone 5 has been ating up. Apps close on there own. I have reset and restarted my phone many many times. I am running out of storage on my phone and I am under the impression that I can keep photos in a shared photostream forever and then delete them on my phone to make more room. Is this true? I have backed up all my photos to my pc, but I like to have them on my phone too. Anyone know how to fix the problem with tranferring photos from camera roll to shared photo stream? Thanks!

    Photostream photos are kept in Photostream for 30 days.. it's not really a long term storgae media.  It's a temporary storage on your way to a computer storage solution.

  • 9.4.1 Shared Photo Streams - my Photo Stream stopped functioning altogether

    I've been experiencing unexplained problems with the Shared Photo Stream feature. After creating a new shared photo stream and adding a couple of photos to it iPhoto shows the number of shared pictures as 0. I eventually managed to get an album shared with iPhoto 9.4 a couple of weeks ago after creating and deleting a shared stream a couple of times. Today I decided to created another shared stream using iPhoto 9.4.1, left the 'Share with' empty, enabled public sharing, added a couple of photos and voilà, same problem. Only worse this time around. I'm getting the following messages in the Console:

    I tried disabling and reenabling the Photo Stream option in iCloud settings - seems it made it even worse, now I'm unable to access even the basic Photo Stream, let alone the shared ones!!! I tried resetting the Photo Stream via iCloud control panel on www.icloud.com, no effect... I switched to my MacBook, enabled the Photo Stream - same errors on both my iMac and MacBook. I am beginning to wonder whether first-gen iPad with iOS 5 connected to the same iCloud account could be causing problems. I disabled its Photo Stream, reset the Photo Stream again, no effect . Anybody experiencing similar problems?

    Try logging out of your iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane and then log back in and try again.  If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
    If it does log into another user account on your Mac and try there.  All this is to try to narrow down where the problem is originating, your library, user account or the iCloud account itself. This is a first but I'm sure that's not very reassuring to you at this time.

  • Shared photo streams on/off switch not visible

    Just trying to set up Shared Phot Streams on my iPad and my parents.
    Got as far as setting one up on ours, and the email has arrived OK on my parents, with a link to Join this Photo Stream.
    When I click on the link, I get a prompt to Join this Photo Stream, and a message saying that Shared Photo Streams needs to be switched on.
    But in the settings the option to turn on Shared Photo Streams (that I can see on our iPad) is not there, so I can't turn it on.
    As far as I know iCloud is all set up, as I've got Messages and FaceTime all working.
    Any help with what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I had tried switching off and on again without any luck.
    But logging out of iCloud and back in again did the trick. Weird.
    Parents who live in the middle of nowhere suitably impressed.

  • How to permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream on a windows pc

    I've got the Icloud control panel installed on a windows7 pc. On this specific pc I only want My Photostream running. I've tried to disable the Shared Photo Stream - but when I log off my windows user account an then log in again, the checkmark next to the Shared photo Stream is back, and iCloud starts again downloading the shared stream. How can I stop this behavior? I want to permanently disable the Shared Photo Stream.

    Try this method of duplication:
    <font "size=+1">Duplicate a CD or DVD
    1. Insert the DVD/CD;
    2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
    3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
    4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
    5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
    6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

  • Shared photo streams when changing devices

    My daughter and I are swapping iPhone 5's (black & white).  I am curious what will happen to my photo streams and shared photo streams?  I am backing up via iCloud.  Will they be on our new devices after we restore or will we lose all of them.  Would the contents of the restore be any different if I backup/restore with iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community bgl.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account and enable photo stream to see your photo stream photos.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • HT201317 How can i Restore a shared  photo stream

    I Deleted my iCloud account and shared photo stream was deleted, is there a way for restoring my shared photo stream without having to create a new all over again?

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only delete it from your device. If you log back into your account and enable photo stream, I think you will find that your photo stream photos return.

  • What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

    Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
    Anyone know?

    According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so).  You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera.  Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
    Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go).  Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
    icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic.  Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

  • 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".

  • HT201317 I can not view my shared photo stream.  Does not show in source list. Help!

    I cant view my shared photo stream from my source list.  This is preventing me from adding or removing photos.  Any ideas?

    And it seems you must do this every single time the shared photo stream is updated, ie. photos added/removed.  this is pīss poor.

  • Sharing Photo Stream with Windows user

    Greetings.  I am trying to help a family member join Shared Photo Streams on their Windows PC so they can see the photos of their grandkids.  We installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1 on his Windows 7 notebook, and I created an iCloud account for him using my MacBook.  We can log into the account on iCloud.com, so we know it has been set up.  We checked the Photos boxes in iCloud Control Panel.
    I added him to an existing Shared Photo Stream using iPhoto on my MacBook, and he received the invitation via email, but when he clicks on the link to join, all he gets is a page that says you can only join a Shared Photo Stream using one of a list of Apple devices.  I have read all the troubleshooting posts, and we even tried the hint that suggests killing all the Windows proceeses and restarting, but no joy.  I'm successfully sharing the stream with other Apple users, so the basic sharing is working.
    I know we could set up the Photo Streams as public Web pages, but we'd really prefer not to have the baby pictures available to anyone who happens to find the URL.  Some posts I've read seem to indicate that other people have this working, but we just can't figure it out.  Any help from someone who has this working with the software combo above would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

  • My friend sent me an invite for shared photo stream. I've done all the requirement upgrades but everytime i clink on the invite it sends me to the requirements page. Any ideas?

    My friend sent me an invite to join a shared photo stream. When I clink on the invite it opens up a page that tells me the steps to ensure I have all the requirements for photo stream. I've triple checked and I do. But it is the same response every time I clink on the invite. Any ideas as to what I"m doing wrong?

    It's a fresh install so give the software a try from the Vista area and let us know what works:
    This is the Vista 64 bit page so it would be a better chance of working:

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The most recent iPhoto is 9.4.2, so open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent iPhoto. Also, check if you have another iPhoto copy of an older version on your Mac
