iphoto 9.6 shared photostream photos are in trash

I have the same problem, with a slightly different preceding step. After upgrading to Yosemite & installing iPhoto 9.6, I opened iPhoto and everything seemed to be as it should be. I then imported some photos. All was still ok. I tried to add some photos from that new import to an existing shared photo stream, and they wouldn't upload. No new photos appeared in the photostream. I then opened iPhoto preferences, and iCloud Shared Photostreams was turned off - note that it had always been on previously. I reenabled it, and after spinning for a very long time, my newly selected photos for uploading were added to the photostream, but ALL of the other photos from that photostream and every other shared photostream were moved to Trash - not iPhoto trash but directly to desktop trash. I was smart enough to pull them out of trash and set them aside so I don't lose them permanently, but this looks like a major defect in iPhoto 9.6. Shared photo streams are NOT preserved properly across the upgrade.

Note that the existing shared photostreams appear to never re-sync after this, so there appears to be 0 photos in them until new ones are added.

count me in with the mess... 53 shared streams over 2000 photos...GONE!

I am assuming apple has a backup of their servers so they should be able to just restore the entire data center before yosemite, and all those 900 million IOS device owners will be happy...of course it could be like the IRS where they had those hard drives crash with no backups for just those people under investigation (lol)

same here... anyone know how to revert iPhoto 9.6 to previous release?

fixed... I opened up Aperature (I believe iPhoto 9.6 has the same thing happening cause they use a common data base). find the preference setting for iCloud, and the one that indicates "shared streams". uncheck the box, don't hit apply just wait about 20 seconds. The check the box and go to your iCloud stream and leave it open. click on window and show activity, you should see all the streams connecting back to the cloud and photos coming back down to your application.

good luck!

Unfortunately, in iPhoto there is no Apply button on that preference page. Once you deselect/select it, it starts taking effect immediately. I've played with it a bit using some backups I have, and as soon as I deselect Shared Photostreams, the entire contents of my shared photostreams in iPhoto are moved to desktop trash. Everything seems to be syncing properly with new content, but none of the existing photos in the shared photostreams are ever re-synced.

Hi does anyone have a recommended fix for this I have the same issue in iPhoto 9.6 with shared streams being moved to trash?
