Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Nearly every time I reboot my Mac, Aperture asks me if I want to use Photostream in Aperture when I click the Photostream icon. I'm not sure if this is an iCloud bug or an Aperture bug but it's really annoying because each time it has to re-download all of my photostream photos. Does anybody know about a fix?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Unibody MacBook 2.4 Ghz, 8 GB Ram
Okay so I figured it out. In order to fix it, one simply has to delete ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement
Once deleted, I rebooted, turned Photostream back on in Aperture, and everything seemed to work after that between reboots. At least so far (2 reboots). Something was corrupted in that directory I think, because I got to the point where I couldn't even turn PhotoStream on period. I'm surprised its an iLife related folder that was causing the problem, but if you look in that folder you'll see that all of your photostream iamges are in it.
Let me know if this helps other people!
I just wanted to add that I clicked "correct answer" on the wrong post by mistake, and there is apparently no way to undo that. So just to let you know, the post before this one is the correct answer, not the one listed as the correct answer. Sorry. I can't believe Apple gives us no way to undo that.
Happy that this worked for you
It ain't for me
Everytime I log out and log back in I have to enebale photostream again on Aperture
I just rebooted again and it's still working. Did you install the 10.7.3 update yet? I wonder if that makes a difference.
Yes 10.7.3
well I am not a big user
but it bothers me,
I tried everything except re-insatlling after totally erasing my disk drive
Not ready to do this, too long
for those that are still having the issue, do you have spotlight disabled by chance? I had spotlight disabled via the mdutil command for an unrelated issue and I've been having the photostream problem after every reboot since I installed Aperture. Recently I discovered the spotlight problem (Backblaze) and turned spotlight back on, to my surprise my photostream is enabled and working in Aperture after every reboot. I have recreated the problem by disabling spotlight and cleared it again by enabling it.
Ugh, it was working for me for a long time between reboots until today. I installed the new iMessage beta and on reboot my Aperture now forggot about iCloud. 😟
Same problem here. Definitely a bug of some sort. Apple please submit a fix!!
I have to same problem too.
Aperture randomly turns off Photostream requiring me to download all of my photos again. Usually over some crummy hotel WiFi in the middle of nowhere.
You would think Apple could fix this (instead of keep denying the problem exisits, as is there way).
It's their MacBook Pro, their OS X, their Aperture and their iCloud with their PhotoStream. They can't blame this one on Microsoft or Adobe.
I think personally that Aperture is much too slow and much too buggy a program.
I have not had any more problems with Aperture 3.2.3 and Mac OS 10.7.3. Maybe you need to update your OS / softare?
I'm on 10.7.4 & 3.2.4 and this happens to me every time I reboot.
Same problem here..
Aperture 3.3 Mac OS X 10.7.4
I reported this problem via the Aperture Feedback and they asked me to send them several files as a followup.
I reported this problem too (Aperture Feedback).
Waiting for answer now..
I'd just like to add that I'm having the same problem.
Photostream turns off in Aperture on reboot
