Q: How do I access my iMac's Photo Stream on my MacBook Pro Retina?
I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina. I want to set iPhoto up so that it accesses my Photo Stream. However, when I go to turn on Photo Stream on the MB Pro, it comes up with the following warning:
"Photo Stream for (my apple ID) is being used with another library named “iPhoto Library”. Switching Photo Stream to this library will turn it off in “iPhoto Library”.
I don't want to do this as I was all of my Apple devices to share the iPhoto Library on my iMac. Any ideas?
MACBOOK PRO (RETINA, 13-INCH,EARLY 2013), iOS 6.1.4

Linnman - no - the photostream is from icloud - so I have everything that the imac saw, now on my macbook. Which is what I wanted
If I take a picture, then that gets added to the library on my Mac Book now (that's not what I want) so I will have to import those from photostream in to the imac at some point. Urgh.
So - I think I can live with this but its not the photostream viewer that I was hoping for.
