iPhoto was unable to connect to photo stream

When I try to enable Photo Stream I get the error message that is the title of this post. How do I fix this?

Hi LN,


It's iPhoto 9.2.1


In iCloud System Preference I selected the Photo Stream button but when I go to iPhoto to enable it there it fails with the message "unable to connect to Photo Stream" and when I go back to iCloud System Preference I find that the button has been UNselected.


Yes, it was working happily on all my devices. The problem cropped up after I did a reset on my iPhone. I don't know what that has to do with it, though, because both it and my iPad are happily connected to Photo Stream and pics I take with my phone show up on my iPad.


!?!!?


Thanks!
