Shared Photo Stream not showing video on Mac

Hi,


I can now see videos in my shared Photo Stream using IOS7 so that seems to be working fine. I can also see the video when viewing the public website for the shared Photo Stream. However, for the same shared Photo Stream I cannot see the video on my Mac using iPhoto. Is that supposed to work now too?


Thanks,

I am not aware that video is supported - and do not find any documentation saying so - there is documentation updated on Sept 18 saying that it does not - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486


Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?

My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream does not work with video.

Wherer are you seeing that it is supported?


I do see some editorial material indicating that it is and in those there is no mention o fthe Ma - only IOS 7 and Apple TV version 6

LarryHN, you are incorrect.


dwd40 is talking about "Shared Photo Streams" also called "iCloud Photo Sharing" - which suports video.


This is the doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379


My Photo Stream, which you are confused with does not support video.


The doc linked above says that the new Shared Photo Streams are only supported on the PC, iOS and Apple TV:

---

What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?

  • iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
  • PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
  • AppleTV (second generation) with Apple TV Software Update 6.0 or later

---

No support on Mac yet. There is likely an updated version of iPhoto coming soon that will bring the functionality to the Mac.
