About ready to through my Macbook at the wall.

I know how to use icloud for pages etc etc

How in the name of god do i set it to sync photos from my iphone ?

I want to be able to access the photos on my iphone on my mac using the cloud to store the pics

This seems impossible to do !? I follow the apple guide and keeps setting up photo streams which appear to do jack ?

Have you got the iPhone setup with iCloud properly as well with photos set to sync?

You can also set up albums which you can share with people if you wish. But with photo stream photos you take with any device are automatically pushed to all your other devices. You can use albums to share existing photos with all your devices.

next stupid question how are you trying to access the photos on your mac?

I use aperture and in the list of sources it says iCloud.

From the top.

iPhone:

Settings > Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream select on

Mac Book:

iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud tick My Photo Stream, Automatic Import, Automatic Upload

iPhoto > Preferences > Accounts > Check you iCloud account is there if not click the plus and add it, make sure it matches the one set for Photos on your iPhone.

@Offroading what version of iPhoto do you have ? I had an old one (2009 Mac, iLife7?) and had to pay for the upgrade to new version to get streaming to work. Just because you have Mavericks doesn't mean you have iPhoto/iCould connectivity

IIRC you need to have 50% battery life or something before they sync.
