Q: Only One Photo in a Shared Photo Stream is Displayed
I have a persistent yet simple problem with iCloud Shared Photo Streams. Either when I am sent an invitation for a Shared Photo Stream or create one myself the Shared PS properly appears in the iPhoto Photo Stream window and when I hover over the icon the correct number of photos contained is shown. If I double-click to open the window ONLY one photo appears - always the first photo in the stream. I am never able to view the whole content of the stream on my iMac - although the streams appear correctly on my iPad, my iPhone, another iMac and on the machines of friends I send stream invites to. I have tried many things: quit iPhoto and restart, restart the machine, delete all iLife prefs in the Library, delete iLifeAssetManagement in Library>Application Support, change Libraries, started from a different User, updated iPhoto several times, a complete restore and reinstall of the OS, saying prayers to the iLife gods and crossing my fingers. None of this has helped. It seems clear to me that my problem is not with my iMac, nor with my OS, nor really with iPhoto itself - but involves the interaction of iPhoto library files with iCloud. Having said that, I have no idea how to proceed next. Any thought would be welcome.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
