If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:


- What version of iPhoto.


- What version of the Operating System.


- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.


- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?


- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.


- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?


Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

First you must meet the necessary system requirements on both your Mac and Mobile device:


iCloud: System requirements


Mac

  • OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later
  • iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
  • iPhoto ’11 version 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later (for Photo Stream)
  • Safari 6 or later (for iCloud.com, Bookmarks, and iCloud Tabs), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
  • iWork '09: Pages 4.3 or later, Number 2.3 or later, and Keynote 5.3 or later (for purchase from the Mac App Store)

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

iOS 6 or later


Next you need to setup iCloud on both devices by logging in to the same iCloud account and then enabling Photo Sharing as follows:


On your Mac:

User uploaded file


On your iPhone, iPad:

User uploaded file


And in iPhoto:

User uploaded file


That should automatically import all of the photos taken on your mobile device into your iPhoto Library on your Mac.
