iPhoto does not show iCloud Photostream?

Just updated iMac to OS to 10.7.2 . Updated Aperture to 3.2 . iPhoto says it is current at 9.1.5 . Selected Photostream in iCloud on Control Panel. Photostream shows up in Aperture. Added a photo. Photostream does *not* show up in iPhoto (as an item in the left hand list) and of course the photo from Aperture does not show up anywhere else in iPhoto.


Any suggestions how to add the Photostream item to iPhoto?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I am having the same problem, except with Aperture 3.2. I don't have the PhotoSteam icon in Perferences to turn it on. I am using 10.6.8 OS on my MacBook Pro, don't know if that is the issue or not. Aperture seems to work fine. I can't resolve it through the istructions in th AP manual or iCloud. Is there anybody else haveing the same problem??

Search for 'Update' in the iPhoto Help section & you will find this.


Update your iPhoto software

By default, iPhoto automatically notifies you when software updates are available.

If you purchased iPhoto in the Mac App Store, or if iPhoto was pre-installed on your computer along with Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later, an update notification is displayed on the App Store icon in the Dock.

If you installed iPhoto from the iLife ’11 DVD, or if iPhoto was pre-installed on your computer along with Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard or earlier, iPhoto periodically checks for updates when you open iPhoto and notifies you if an update is available. If you don’t want iPhoto to automatically check for updates, you can turn off automatic notifications in iPhoto preferences.

You can also check for updates manually.


Then expand the boxes below it to update your iPhoto based on how it was installed on your mac, and what OS you are running.


For me, running iPhoto on a 2 day old MBP with Lion & iPhoto pre-installed, running the general software updater didn't find the 9.2 update. However, opening the App store & clicking on 'Updates' gave me the option to update to iPhoto 9.2


Mark this right if it helps 🙂

right guys, here it is! The bite from the apple let's say!


I updated to IOS5 (16g 3gs) and I have lion running on my mb!


Mostly everything works ok! Iphoto photostream however doesn't, (version 9.2) This is the ilife 11 installed version! (after running the countless updates) aperture updated and photostream works perfectly!


My friend is running mbp, iphone 3gs, imac (both home and work) and his set up all works (same iphoto 9.2, lion, ios5 etc)


Location reminders also are not working with my 3gs so I went in to apple in sheffield today and asked the very helpfull :\ guy who said, no everything should work on the 3gs, I think your best booking a genious appointment! erm, thanks for the help!


I reinstalled ilife 11, completed the updates to iphoto all over again, still nothing! If anyone figures out something simple that we're all missing i'll get you some m&ms 🙂

Evidently, this isn't supported under Snow Leopard.


What crap--I have a Core Duo MacBook (early 2006) that can't update to Lion (need Core 2 Duo) but is okay running iPhoto 9.2. Why can't Photostream be supported? Or some of the other iCloud features such as calendar synching?


Apple really screwed up on this issue--nothing talked about these features being Lion only. If you go onto Apple's site, there's still no mention of lack of support for Snow Leopard. And this extends to the need for a control panel for iCloud, which is also missing.


Crazy that Apple won't support it's own 2-year-old OS with iCloud but will support the 5-year-old Windows Vista.


There was talk in August of a 10.6.9 release supporting iCloud, but nothing's been mentioned recently.
