Why can't I share a photo stream album with all of my contacts?

I have been able to share one photo stream album with my sister who has an iPhone. When I try to share another album with both a friend who has an iPhone and another sister who does not have an iPhone, their names are greyed out in my contact list. Looking over my contact list for sharing photo stream albums, half of my contacts are normal, and the other half are greyed out. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this nd share with everyone in my contact list?

For users who have iOS devices, they get a direct connection to the shared stream.  For others, they need to get an email with a link that they use in a browser.  Not too clear on the details myself, but the following link should provide the answers you need.

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
    Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
    Another route: according to this site:
    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
    box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option.

  • Can I have 2 My Photo Stream Album on my iCloud Account?

    Hi!
    We have 3 Apple TV's set-up in our space in different locations and using 1 icloud account, just want to know if it's possible to have 3 different My Photo Stream Album so we have 3 different sets of photos on each apple tv. If YES, how? If no, is there any way to do that?
    Thanks

    No you can't. But what you can do is when you want to see your sons account just sign out of yours and sign in to his. Then when you want to use yours just sign in with yours. It will only take a minuet or so to do this. And you can save usage capacity by only having one

  • HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

    Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

    Photo stream requires iPhoto '11 - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • Why can't I share my photos to facebook or emails?

    I just downloaded tyhis program and was very exctied to share my very first edited photo to my facebook account when I went through all the standard steps to share it and when it was 100% uploaded, I got a popup alert message that reads: There was a problem with your internet connection. Please check that a firewall is not blocking Elements Organizer from accessing the internet and that you have an internet connection.
    So I clicked ok on the alert popup message and then another one pops up that reads: An error has occured transferring files. Would you like to try again, stop the workflow and try again later, or terminate this service completely?
    In which my opions were: Yes, try again, stop now, try again later, and terminate.
    I have tried all the options and I cannot share my photo. I have also tried to share this photo to an email and that will not work either. Please help.

    Just what program as you using,  Photoshop Elements 12 and the Elements Organizer 12 or Premiere Elements 12 and the Elements Organizer 12?
    From what you wrote, it sounds like you are in the Elements Organizer 12 and trying to work with its Share/Facebook and Photo Mail. Each comes with its own considerations aside from messages of Internet connection issues.
    1. Check with your Internet provider on your Internet connection. Reset the router if applicable. Clean out your Web Content Cache for your default browser.
    2. Make sure that you can upload content saved to the hard drive to Facebook at the Facebook web site. Try to upload your Timeline content to Facebook from Premiere Elements 12, if you have Premiere Elements 12, using Premiere Elements 12's Publish+Share/Social Websites/Facebook.
    3. In Elements Organizer 12, what is your Email Client set at in the Sharing preferences? How have you set that up?
    4. Watch for problems with antivirus, firewalls? Have you disabled them to determine their possible contributions to the problems?
    Please review and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I share iPhoto photos via email directly anymore?

    In my work I often need to email photos. It's always been a snap with iPhoto's ability to share photos directly via email. However with my last system upgrade this important feature no longer works. It really adds a lot of time to my workday. Can this be fixed?

    No one knows waht Apple will do and they are not here - this is strictly a user to user forum  --  this issue has not had a solution that I have seen - the wrokaround is to drag photos to outlook for full sized photos or to export to a desktop folder using the export size options and then attaching to Outlook mail from there
    report the issue to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

    I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why can't I share my iPod touch app with my new IPadmini

    Just got a new IPad mini but cannot share a purchased game from IPad touch to IPad mini?

    What happens when you try to redownload them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • Why can't I delete simple photo files even with admin access?

    I'm cleaning my Time Capsule HD deleting some photo files. Most of them were just moved to trash, but when I try to move a specific folder, the OS asks my password saying that Finder wants to make changes. After typing in my password I receive a message that I don't have permission to access some of the items. It dosn't make any sense since I, same account tring to delete them, have copied these files into that folder.
    I really appreciate any support.
    Thaks and regards,
    Alex

    Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup?  Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system. Here is the BEST QnA on the subject :

  • Why can I not buy a $9.99 album with $10.06 credit on my account?

    I have $10.06 available on my account. I want to buy an album (I've tried several) but couldn't buy any in the $10 region due to "insufficient credit".
    If I buy anything else, like a single song or app - the purchase goes through.

    That would do it.
    In the SA store its already included.
    Thanks

  • Missing Photo Stream Album in iPhoto

    Hi!
    I'm hoping someone can help me. My Photo Stream album seems to be missing from my iPhoto. It use to be there but one day, it just disappeared. I already unchecked and checked under Preference to see if it would appear but it didn't work.Please help!
    Thanks~

    Add any photo stream photos in iPhoto that are not in photo stream on your phone to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.4/#pht5f6df5f0.

  • How do I remove the extra photo stream albums?

    Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
    When I take a photo using the Camera App, the Photos App creates a new, separate, Photo Stream Album with only 1 photo.
    Now I have 50+ Photo Stream albums.
    Here is what I've tried, but still cannot remove these albums (in no particular order):
    - Turned on/off Photo Stream.
    - Deleted iCloud account from iPhone
    - Reset Photo Stream from iCloud.com
    - Forced quit Photos App (and all other apps)
    - Restarted the iPhone
    - Deleted all photos via Image Capture
    - Attempted to "edit" albums, but no option to delete
    But still, these photos and albums still remain. I am able to tap on an album, see the picture, and have the option to save it to my camera roll (but it doesn't actually save it to the camera roll).
    One final obervation, every time I turn on/off Photo Stream, it creates an additional empty Photo Stream album. So now the list of albums keeps growing.
    Very odd behavior. Any suggests from the community before I do a complete restore?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I have a similar problem. I told iTunes not to sync any photos and delete whatever was there. Then I turned off Photostream. Even when I did that I have an extra Photostream with no photos in it. There's no way to delete it.

  • Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:
