iPhone Photo Stream

[deacon123]

Hi everyone. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4S. My question is, how does photo stream work exactly? Right now, in my photos, there is a camera roll album and a photo stream album. I have turned on photo stream for iCloud, but when I open iPhoto on my computer none of the photos have transferred/there is no prompt to load or transfer. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Ada

You have to be using iCloud and have Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) on your computer.

You can do it on a pc with windows also.

But it doesn't do existing pics, just new ones you take going forward,

I'm sorry, not too sure I understand -

Okay, you need the iCloud Mac software to sync them in.

You must have iPhoto 9 or aperture for photo stream to work.

Is having iPhoto 9 the only prerequisite for photo stream to work? I have just updated (iPhoto 9.2.1) and still, nothing. I was also prompted to update my photos as it said they won't be readable/viewable otherwise. Any suggestions?
Thank you
