photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream. all of my software is updated. can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software. iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5 All of my preferences are checked. I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac. The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone) - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title. Is this supposed to happen on the Mac? Thanks!

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Photo Stream & Shared PS

Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5. For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

What do I need to use Photo Stream?

To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later

So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.

Hi Old Toad!

The strange thing is that the photos are in photo stream (currently in the source list under recent, not web). So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade. Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update? Thanks again!

Going from Lion to Mt. Lion is an upgrade which requires purchasing Mt. Lion from the App Store. I think it about $20.
