Unable to set up Photo Stream on my iMac
Because it doesn't show up on my iPhoto in the source list on the left! What should I do now?
In the iCloud panel of the System Preferences enable the checkbox besides the Photostream icon, then press the "options" button. Have you done it this way? What do you mean by
"but when I pressed Photo Steam I can't"? Are buttons missing or unresponsive? It should work like Frank described.

How can I set up Photo Stream with OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09?
I am trying to set up Photo Stream and I would like to know what I need to do. I am running OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09. Thanks
You need to have 10.7.5 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 Lion will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks.
This is from Apple Support:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts. -
I'm editing my photos on a MacBook Air and then photostreaming. On my iMac, I get the photos in Photo Stream, where they cannot be changed. I've set the Photo Stream preferences to "automatically import to Library" - but that does not happen. How can I get these new photos into my "old" iMac photo library?
The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel. -
Setting up photo stream win 7 pro
I cant set up photo stream on my Windows 7 Pro.
I dont see in Control Panel "Network and Internet".
And I dont see anythng that mentions ICloud.
Please advise.The restore/recovery kit is always the same, it's the initial load of software and drivers to get it back to like new, it is never updated with new components. So if you make the Recovery set now or later it's exactly the same, I recommend making it now.

HT201317 Can I upload pictures that were taken before I set up photo stream?
I just set up icloud on my PC and turned on photo stream on my iphone 4s. I have pictures already on my phone that I want to download onto my PC. Is there a way to upload these photos on my PC (since they were taken before I set up photo stream)?
Restore from backup (that you did with the old iPhone) to your new iPhone.

In iphoto, when going into Preferences, there is only a tab for Mobile Me. I do not see a Photostream tab.
How do set up Photostream, now that mobile me no longer exists?
I have upgraded to Lion already, and I use icloud often for my mail, calendar, etc. but can't seem to get Photostream to show up in iPhoto or in icloud.I quote:
Set up Photo Stream on a Mac to work with iPhoto
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
Select the Photo Stream checkbox.
Open iPhoto (in your Applications folder).
Select Photo Stream in the Source list on the left.
Click Turn On Photo Stream (on the right).
By default, iPhoto automatically imports all Photo Stream photos into your library so you can keep them permanently, and automatically uploads every photo you import to your Photo Stream.
(The Forum software has munged the layout a bit, but you get the idea.) Please see the Apple Help page this comes from for more information:

Error enabling photo stream "iphoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream"
Whenever I try to enable Photo Stream, it times out after awhile, and I get the following error: "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream." (see below [1]). I "tcpdump" shows that the computer is trying to open connections to akamai (unrelated?) but not apple. I am using iPhoto 9.2 build 626.
There is one oddity in this scenario : I have one iCloud account that I am trying to use between three computers. I was able to register iPhoto on my mac book pro, but it is failing on my second.
thanks in advance,

08:26:57.386190 ARP, Request who-has dd-wrt (Broadcast) tell 192.168.6.122, length 46Good catch, nifmus. I'm kicking myself for not checking system.log earlier! I have very similar messages in mine.
By any chance is your Library folder (or part of it) relocated to a separate disk? Or your entire home folder? I have part of my Library folder on a SSD for speed, but my home folder and some of the larger Library subdirectories are on a regular disk because they wouldn't fit on the small SSD. It's all tied together with symbolic links, and without problems... until Photo Stream came along and didn't like it.
I knew that sandboxd was involved somehow, but your post prompted me to focus on it. It's definitely the problem here. I found the following sandbox profile file inside the iPhoto application bundle:
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app/Conten ts/Resources/PhotoStreamAgent.sb
Inside this file are a bunch of definitions to control what PhotoStreamAgent is allowed to do. There are a bunch of lines under an allow-file-write* declaration which should allow PhotoStreamAgent to write to the above files listed in your log. Lines such as:
(home-regex #"/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement")
(home-regex #"/Library/Preferences/com\.apple\.iLifeAssetManagement\.crash\.plist(\.[^/]+)? $")
And many others. In my case, I suspect that the problem may be related to the fact that the final absolute path of those files may differ from what you'd get if you just substituted my home directory in for "home-regex" since I have stuff relocated around. Although since I was able to get it working with a blank home directory, also put in place via a symbolic link (so the final path differs), I'm not 100% sure of this.
What I do know right now is that there is a quick "hack" that fixed it for me. I don't like the hack and would strongly recommend against it, because it's likely to break the next time there's a software update for iPhoto. But it works until I can find a permanent solution.
To make it work, I edited the above file and changed the second line from "(deny default)" to "(allow default)". This, of course, defeats the whole purpose of the sandbox by allowing PhotoStreamAgent to do anything it wants, but it also allows stuff that is really supposed to be allowed but fails anyway for us.
If you want to try this, it helps to be familiar with the unix underpinnings of OS X. There's probably a way to do it in the normal graphical user interface, but as a longtime unix guy, I just jumped to the command line and did a "sudo vi (that long filename)". To do it via the gui method, you'll have to navigate to that folder in Finder (quickest way is to hit Cmd-Shift-G and copy/paste the path, or right-click iPhoto and "Show Package Contents", then drill down to the file), edit the file, save a copy (because you don't have permission to modify it), then copy the new version over the old (it will ask for an admin password).
Again, I don't recommend this because it's likely to break in the future and defeats the security that Apple intended with the sandbox, but it's a quick fix. I'll continue to investigate as I have time, trying to find out precisely what's causing the failure with the default sandbox profile. -
IPhoto was unable to connect to photo stream
When I try to enable Photo Stream I get the error message that is the title of this post. How do I fix this?
Hi LN,
It's iPhoto 9.2.1
In iCloud System Preference I selected the Photo Stream button but when I go to iPhoto to enable it there it fails with the message "unable to connect to Photo Stream" and when I go back to iCloud System Preference I find that the button has been UNselected.
Yes, it was working happily on all my devices. The problem cropped up after I did a reset on my iPhone. I don't know what that has to do with it, though, because both it and my iPad are happily connected to Photo Stream and pics I take with my phone show up on my iPad.
Thanks! -
When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?
What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

Aperture was unable to connect to Photo Stream
Aperture was unable to connect to Photo Stream. Help!
That didn't work for me. However I found an alternate fix. You just need to move ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement to the trash and then reboot, and it should work.

Aperture unable to connect to photo stream
Aperture 3 and Photostream were working fine for me but now it's not. I think this started happing after Apple replaced the logic board and video card in my 2008 iMac. I'm using Lion and all software is fully up to date. I have photostream enabled in the mac icloud settings and turn it on in the aperture settings. It spins for a while and then says "aperture was unable to connect to photo stream", which also then disables photo stream in the icloud settings. I have uninstalled Aperture and all prefrences files using AppCleaner and reinstalled. I have also done some tricks which others have reported as working, such as logging out of icloud and then logging in as a different user and deleting preference files from ~/Library. I have also tried creating a fresh Aperture library. So far nothing has worked. If I look at the console I get a crash log caused by the PhotoStreamAgent that contains the following:

When I switch to Aperture on my old black Macbook photostream works fine. I'm stumped and frustrated. Short of wiping my drive and reinstalling the OS, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
SpencerWell if this just started happening since the iMac was worked on by Apple you should contact Support. You should still be under warranty for the repair so they should take care of it.

I set up Photo Stream today. All pictures I took today shows up on my PC. Any pictures I took prior to today, I can't get to transfer. Any ideas?

That's how it is supposed to work.
Older photos will need to be transferred manually using a sync cable.

I recently lost my iphone and I know I had set up Photo Stream on my iphone, but I logged into icloud today and realized that I had not set it up on my computer. If I set it up now, will the historical photos stored on the phone appear?

That is if email you r talking about was icloud mail. Go to www.icloud.com and sign in - you will see your emails. -
i lost my iphone and had it backed up to icloud and photo stream but i never plugged it into a computer since i had set up photo stream. is there a way to login to any mac device to view my photos or anything?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.
