Unable To Share Photo Stream With Anyone

ve been navigating the very unintuitive process to share photos on both the Photos App on the iPad as well as iPhoto on OS X. I understand the iPhone adds yet another different way to do the same thing, so we'll skip that for now as this has more to do with the actual service it seems since I cannot share photos with anyone else from either the iPad or the Mac.
In short: When I try to add a name to the list of shared persons, I enter the e-mail address in the field, and when I click away and click back on the Mac, the e-mail address is gone. I am the only person listed on the shared list of people. Similarly the iPad gives me the ability to add a name, but doesn't show me who is already subscribed ... at least it doesn't show me (the owner) as it does on the iPhoto App. When I enter an e-mail address there, it shows up under the "Subscribers" for an instant, then immediately dissapears. iPhoto on the Mac confirms that they were not added to the subscriber list.
OK, so what goes on here? I could understand it might be an upgrade related issue if it didn't happen on both my Mac and my iPad. So is this yet another Apple bug of a promoted feature of iOS 6? Or am I just not understanding how to do this? I can't find any instructions anywhere to confirm whether I am doing it correctly.
Bottom line: I cannot add ANYBODY to the shared subscriber list the way it is adverstised that I am supposed to be able to.
Is there some criterea that I am overlooking for they type of subscriber who can be added? It doesn't seem to work with .mac, or .me iCloud addresses, nor any others. So I am at a loss.
Thanks ...

Hi, yes, I've created a Stream that's available to the public, via the "public website" option. I've tried to enter both iCloud (@me, @mac) addresses as well as others (Gmail, Yahoo), and neither the iPad, nor iPhoto take them. They appear briefly but then go away. My understanding is that there is supposed to be some kind of invitation sent which the reciever must accept before the stream becomes shared with them, but so far none of the test e-mails have resulted in this "invitation".
I do not have Aperture, but I do have the iPhoto app on the iPad, recently updated for iOS 6, and it does not even have the option to share to Photo Stream, which I thought was supposed to do.
This seems very strange that it is working on none of my devices. I am just updating my iPhone 3GS now (waiting to update my iPhone 4 until I figure out a good solution for the Maps debacle). I will post back the results if I am having any better luck with the iPhone than I have with the iPad or iPhoto on the Mac.

HT201077 Unable to share photo stream

Can someone help ? Thanks

You posted this in the Aperture list, are you having problems with Photo Stream in Aperture or on your phone?

Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone. I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream. I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone. How do you do it?
Thanks.

I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Can I share photos in Photo Stream with family or friends?

Is it possible to share photos in Photo Stream with other users?
It was so easy to do with Gallery
Rich B

It looks like the answer to this is "No" at least for now. Given that was such a major feature of MobileMe, it's a real annoyance.
If I'm wrong, I would love to be corrected. Is there a replacement for the MobileMe Gallery feature?

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

Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works. I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong! I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). I've enabled iCloud Drive on both. iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends. iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud. I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one.
So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled. However, it doesn't seem to work. The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
I've just done the following test:
I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
A minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream. So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen. If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself. Am I right? Why only 37?
On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos. I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
Can anyone help? If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
Thank you!

Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally

TS3989 I don't see a Share Photo Stream checkbox in my iPhoto preferences - how can I download shared photostreams to my mac?

I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2 and trying to view my shared photo streams on my macbook air. The instructions on the apple website tell me I need to select the checkbox on the Share Photo Stream in iPhoto preferences. This is an image of my preference pane and I can't see the relevant checkbox. Any help appreciated...

"Unable to Share Photo" To Linux Skype

I see it MAY relate to this FAQ: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34458/why-don-t-i-see-the-picture-my-contact-sent-me
When my contact sent me a photo from their iPhone to my linux skype, I got the link which I found odd.
But when I tested the issue going from my android to my linux, it would NOT even send the photo, with the error "Unable to Share Photo".
However, I could send from my android to their iphone.
Skype versions:
Linux (Ubuntu 64-bit): 4.3
Android (4.4.2): 5.3
I also tested the video from android to linux and that failed, but I'll look for an existing topic for that.

try installing the 10.8.5 supplemental update, the following link takes you to this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1686
after installing this restart the mac and try again to use the skype see if it resolves the issue. good luck

I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.
