Journals you create on one device will appear in the Journals tab in iPhoto on all your other iOS devices (assuming they all use the same iCloud account). Even a journal that failed to publish will show up on these other devices. Not surprisingly, however, you can't view a problem journal from these other devices. Instead, you get a message that says "Remote Journal Unavailable." Alternatively, as described in another , a failure to open can happen with no error message at all.

Some good news: After completing this article, I tried yet one more time to create and publish a journal. This time I had success. Perhaps, as some have speculated, the source of the problem is with Apple's servers, a problem that Apple is now fixing.

You can export a journal from your iOS device to your Mac. The journal appears as a folder of files (which you could use to upload to a web server). To do an export, open the desired journal in iPhoto and tap the Share icon. From the choices that appear (as seen in the third figure), tap the iTunes icon. That's it.

To access the folder on your Mac, connect your iOS device to your Mac and launch iTunes. Select the device from the Devices section. From here, click the Apps tab and scroll down to the File Sharing section. Locate iPhoto. Your journal should be listed in the Documents section on the right. You can drag the journal to your Desktop.
