Q: How can I subscribe to a shared Photo Stream in iPhoto

I'm trying to use iPhoto to subscribe to a shared Photo Stream from my sister-in-law.  Whenever I click on the invitation, it says I need to sign in to iCloud -- which I have multiple times now -- and be running iPhoto 9.4 (which is actually 9.4.2).  So, I've satisfied all the necessary steps, but it's not bringing up iPhoto on my computer.  I have Photo Stream on iPhoto configured to allow subscribing to shared Photo Streams.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Figured it out with a helpful hint from someone elses post.

 

I have two iCloud accounts.  My System Preferences had iCloud configured with the wrong Apple ID. 

 

The email that gets sent when someone shares a Photo Stream might mention something about the System Preferences -> iCloud needing to be configured if you want to see the shared stream in iPhoto on a Mac.
