Photostream not getting enabled in iPhoto apps

I am using iMac with OS version 10.7 and iPhoto app version 9.3.2. My iCloud account is set on iMac and visible under system preference. I also have enabled Photo Steam option under preferences section of iPhoto application.

Still I see that I am not able to view PhotoStream under the Web section of iPhoto. Only facebook and flickR is visitble. Also I find that I am not able to share the photos through photosteam,

Am i missing any other configuration steps? or is it an app bug?

Thanks, Suresh

LN, I have followed the instructions in the way describled by the above URL. I once again validated to ensure I have not missed any of the steps mentioned. The MAC OS and Iphoto software are within the versions recommended for Photostream.

When I open iPhoto application I still dont see photosream appear on the left side of the app as shown in one of the screen shots at step 3.

So the issue still persists.

I am having this same problem. I have reset photostream and also reinstalled iPhoto. Same result - no Photo Stream listed in the web section of the source list, and no "New Shared Photo Stream" dialog when I select a photo and click Share->Photo Stream. 😟
