iCloud Photostream

Mike UK · 13 Oct 2011 at 12:41

Finally got IOS5 installed on both Iphones and Ipad but still need to do the config.

Just wondering is there a way to have both photostreams listed on the iPad?

Thanks

If all three use the same iCloud account they will use the same photostream. If they use seperate iCloud accounts, then no you can't have both, only the stream for whichever iCloud account you link to the iPad will be there.

Thats a bit silly, surely there must be away of viewing other ppls pics, a bit like the gallery feature of mobileme?

Why would you want this? Its a place to back up and synch your own details through your own devices. You want to see other peoples pictures check Flikr.

Becasue this is the main way that I share photos with family and friends - I'm usualll the one with my camera whenever we are on hols/day out etc and to share the photos I uploaded them to my MobileMe gallery direct from Aperture and then they can all view them easily from their iPhone/iPad using the MobileMe gallery app.

I know flickr is there but to get the photos full screen on iPhone/iPad its a bit more of a faff than just pressing a few buttons (unless I'm wrong here). This is one use that Apple seems to have seriously neglected in iCloud

Mobile Me gallery was pretty good, but they must have done some research and realised only a small % were using it over alternatives such as flickr.

SHame really, but at least iPhoto has the ability to upload directly to flickr, not sure if the iPad etc. does.

Guess the only option for that is to create them all under the same iCloud credentials which I am not keen on doing.

But by doing this I guess I could disable all the other iCloud features on the other iPhone would that work?

I see where your coming from but i think this iCloud is all about keeping your own items synched across the board.
I think a better option to Flickr and a more native option for photo sharing like this would be good, a nice and easy public cloud specifically designed for iPhone/iPad would be a good idea.
Get making the app.

All well and good but dont go taking any saucy pics for your lady as the rest of your iCloud users may get a little bit of a shock
