In order to activate Photo Stream within Aperture, just click on the Photo Stream button in the sidebar, and then click on the button that says Turn On Photo Stream. This will open a status sheet that says enabling Photo Stream, and once that are finished, Photo Stream will connect to iCloud and start downloading any images that is already in the Cloud.
