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.
