About turning on My Photo Stream on more than one Mac
You can turn on My Photo Stream for the same iCloud account on more than one Mac. When you
have My Photo Stream turned on for more than one Mac and you upload a photo to My Photo
Stream, the upload includes the event information from iPhoto or the project information and
hierarchy from Aperture. If the receiving application has Automatic Import turned on in iCloud
preferences, the event or project information is passed along in one of the following ways:
•
Photo uploaded from iPhoto on one Mac and pushed to iPhoto on another Mac: If the iPhoto
library the photo is pushed to contains a duplicate of the event in which the photo originated,
the photo is placed in that event—even if the event has been renamed. If the same event
doesn’t appear in the iPhoto library the photo is pushed to, a new event is created and named
after the photo’s original event.
•
Photo uploaded from iPhoto on one Mac and pushed to Aperture on another Mac: A new
project is created in the Aperture library and named after the iPhoto event in which the
photo originated.
