HT201317 how can I save pictures from photostream to my pc that I already took

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I can't seem to find an answer (that I am willing to accept!).
I have an Iphone, Ipad and PC.
My iphone and ipad both have photostream (about 650 pictures each), and the camera rolls only have about 100 pictures each.  I am not sure why my photostream has more pictures, possibly the photostream is the culmination of my iphone 4 and 5.  I do not normaly sync with itunes with a cable on my PC.  I do have icloud, and it has about 5 gigs full. 
There are a bunch of pictures in photostream that I want, so that I can make a photoalbum with shutterfly, etc.  However, when I try and save or email the pictures from photostream to myself, the file size is under 1 meg. (640k), but the pictures should be 2 megs+.  From reading posts, it seems that Apple adjusts the size to display on apple devices.  Also, I have seen where photostream can automatically download pictures to your pc in their original format, but this feature is for going forward, not prior pictures taken. 
However, my challenge is to be able to access previously taken pictures, in their original file/quality size, to save to my PC.
Is their a computer program, or something else?  I seemed to read that "maybe" if I had a MAC with iphoto, that it might let me import from photostream in original format, but even that was not 100%.
Please help, as these are pictures were taken over several months time, and I need to put them in a photo book for a friend.
I am willing to do anything, even buy a MAC, if I can just get my photos off of photostream (or icloud), in their original size and glory.
Thanks so much.

Photos are downloaded to a computer from an iPhone similar to the way a digital camera works. Using iCloud to transfer photos to a PC requires the iCloud Control Panel. Read this article for more help on both methods:

  • How can I save pictures from Photostream on my Windows Pc?

    Hello everybody!
    I've got a problem - I want to save the pictures, which I have saved in Photostream (and which ARE in Photostream on my Pc too), on my Windows 7 (32Bit) computer. They ARE in the folder 'photostream' on my comp. but I can't move with them! And I don't want to put the fotos on my pc with the sync cabel with my iPad! So - How can I move the pics from the Photostream-folder to an other folder?
    Thanks for answers! Greetings, Mike

    You cannot. To download photos from your iPad save them to the Camera Roll and sync your iPad to your computer using iTunes.
    See: Ways to share photos
    For questions regarding iPhoto on your iPad it would be better to ask in the iPhoto for iOS forum.

    How can I delete pictures from my photostream?

    This is a user forum, you won't get a response from Apple. You cannot currently delete single photos from the photostream. You have to reset it. To do this go to icloud.com - advanced - reset photostream. Then toggle off/on the photostream on your device(s)

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

    Sync to computer then from there to other device.  Photo stream can be used to sync between devices, but that has to be set up BEFORE the photos are taken.

    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.

    How can I transfer pictures from my computer to my ipad?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
