journals iCloud upload broken

Hi,


when i try to publish my new journals (either from the iPhone or iPad) to icloud, all I get is an endlessly spinning wheel. I can activate/deactivate publish and/or show on startpage, but it never shows up enywhere. "Show in Safari" is greyed out forever, too.

Anyone else here with this problem, or is it an issue with my iCloud account?


Best,

Ralf

Same problem here, Only two pictures in journal. Able to flip the switch to "Publish to iCloud" but link to "Tell A Friend" or "Open in Safari" is always greyed out.


You would have hoped they would have been prepared for people to want to use this great new feature! I'm sure they are just overloaded with new users and they will eventually fix it, but this puts a damper on my otherwise awesome experience with iPhoto on iOS.

Nope, it doesnt appear to be related to traffic or load. I can upload immediatley from 4 iCloud accounts which I have for my family members, these are basic 5GB limit accounts. As soon as I put the details in for my own account which was a paid up MobileMe account which was transfered to iCloud and has 25GB of iCloud storage it fails to upload anything.


Just tried this with another iCloud account which has 25GB of storage and got the same results.


These tests were carried out on 3 different iOS devices all with the same result. It would appear that there is a bug preventing migrated MobileMe accounts with additional storage from taking the Journal upload. These accounts work perfectly with other documents from pages and numbers.

I had spent a while putting a journal together for family photos taken on a trip to the zoo so I was keen to get them uploaded.


In the end I just went to settings, deleted my iCloud account (25gb) and setup my wife's standard iCloud account. Went back to iPhoto and uploaded the journal. It took less than 5 minutes and takes up just under 20mb of her storage.


Removed her account from the iPad and reinstated my details. It will do for the time being but a bit of a pain.
