Photo Stream not syncing all photos

Hi,
I'm experiencing some issues where Aperture Photo Stream is not syncing every photo to iCloud. I've successfully shared a number of projects but there are a few that just get stuck and only seem to sync some of the photos and the same ones each time. For example I've a project with 36 photos of which only 22 will sync which I've recreated a few times with exactly the same result each time.
I'm fully up to date with OS and Aperture and I've rebuilt permissions and the library and have deleted and recreated the Photo Stream a few times. All the photos are referenced and I've rebuilt the image previews in the project(s) concerned.
Looking in the Console log the only message I'm seeing which is indicating a problem are these which look related but give no further information or indication:
Aperture: invalid share context
Aperture: invalid context
Any help appreciated.
Matt

WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

Photos in iphone 4s photo stream not sync all with macbook air in iCloud

Exactly what suggestions have you followed and what was the result?
First, be sure that you are logged into the same iCloud account on both devices.

Photo stream not putting all photos on iPhone 5

I have a imac with all my photos stored . I have just purchased a iphone 5 and also using ipad2 which i have done ios 6 update.
My photo stream shows 750 photos on imac for which that is showing them all on my ipad2 but my iphone has only downloaded 139.They say you only keep them for 30 days which must be wrong as i have them all on ipad. When i bought iphone5 i did icloud set up as i had iphone4s before.
Any help please.

While photos in a device's photo stream album remain, the photos in the photo stream server in icloud remain for up to 30 days. So if you recently added photo stream to a device and the stream photos in icloud are over 30 days and thus have been automatically deleted, your device won't have any stream photos synced to it. It sounds like that is the case with your iphone.

My Photo Stream not syncing older photos

Hi, am using Aperture 3.4.3 on OS X 10.8.2 but had the same issue below when using iPhoto...
Have Photo Stream enabled within settings but when I use Aperture, not all of my photos are being synchronised.
Simply, my iPhone shows I have 231 photos in 'My Photo Stream' but through Aperture is shows just 129 - it is the older photos that aren't sync'd.
I have 3 shared streams which are working fine, it's just the default one.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Pete.

The Photo Stream is not really a method to sync photos - it is a method to buffer the most recent photos for import, and it may look differently on all devices, depending on when the photo stream has been enabled on the device. On each device it will show the most recently added 1000 photos, and photos older than a month may not show at all.
If you want the older photos to appear in the stream on all devices, add them again to to stream.

HT201317 My Photo Stream not uploading all photos automatically

Hi All - I have a PC using Windows Vista. Not all of my photos in My Photo Stream are uploading automatically as they are supposed to. Only some of them will load. It is very sporadic. How can I get all photos to upload to My Photo Stream? Thanks for any help!

It sounds like you are using Photos, not iPhoto, since iCloud Photo Library isn't available in iPhoto.
In Photos, My Photo Stream shows up in the Albums tab, see this help article: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtc0bf4b9bb

Photo library not syncing all photos

iCloud photo library and syncing (not all photos)
I seem to have an issue with iCloud photo in that on my iPhone I have 2,224 photos, on my iPad it shows I have 2,211 photos and on my Mac it shows I have 2,209 photos And on icloud photo library on the web show 2,270 photos. For some reason all the photos on iCloud Photo Library are not getting sync'd to the other devices. On the bright side all my videos are sync'do across all devices properly!
Anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I realize that this is the iTunes forum. I'm using iTunes to sync my iPhone so it seems the right place. I've also cross posted in the iPhone Forum.

Will photo stream automatically sync all photos to iphoto if i am overseas

Photo stream had been turned on the whole time while I am overseas, will the photos and video i took be automatically sync to the Mac on iphoto back at home?

Just wanna clarify... i had already deleted the photos in photo stream and eventually turned it off and sign out of iCloud.... but what's been in photo stream before had already been sync to my brother's Mac and there's nothing i can do right now, is that right? and the only way i could delete my photos is to login to his computer and do it from there?

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5

I can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5. It always can sync some photos into 5. Then finish and prompts: "itunes can not synchronize (other)thousands of projects, and see more information in itunes". That means most of my photos can not seen on Iphone 5, it seems just can't import to 5. Is that the problem of Iphone or the pictures in Aperture, or even just because lack of sufficient space?

Aperture photos from Photo Stream not syncing in iTunes

Hi
I am running Aperture 3.4.3 on an iMac running 10.8.2. I have Photo Stream enabled. When I open Aperture, it downloads all the recent photos from Photo Stream and puts them in to one or more automatically created projects called something like "Mar 2013 Photo Stream". As I understand it, Aperture is copying the photos from Photo Stream to these new projects, so when Photo Stream eventually deletes the photos (say because I reach the 1000 photo limit), the downloaded versions in Aperture won't affected. So far, so good.
Because the new projects in Aperture start with the month name, I have taken to renaming these folders to something like "2013 03 March Photo Stream", and you can then sort them alphabetically. This might be red herring though.
When I open iTunes and connect my iPhone, I have selected to sync photos from all Events in the last 12 months. This should include all the projects that were created in Aperture. This is where I hit the problem. Some of the projects sync just fine. Others do not. When they don't sync, 2 things happen:
1. The Events don't appear on the iPhone
2. When I look in iTunes, all the affected Events have the same item count. The item count is correct for one project, but not the others. So, for example, I have 4 projects at the moment that won't sync, and all show in iTunes with an item count of 1. Only one project actually contains 1 photo, the rest have many more.
I have tried all sorts of things in Aperture, such as rebuilding the data, deleting the iPod Photo Cache etc.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, my problems have been caused by me renaming the automatic import projects in Aperture. I did notice that Aperture kept creating new empty projects for the same month.
This solution from Jannem1970, posted on this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3585677?start=0&tstart=0, seems to have done the trick for me.
- turn off automatic import for Photo Stream;
- identify 'the ghost'-projectfolders, select and delete them;
- close Aperture (this saves the current setting and condition of your library);
- open Aperture again;
- turn on automatic import for Photo Stream.

Windows 7 Photo Stream not syncing after iCloud 3.0

HELP! I am a relatively new to the IPhone community. My husband bought me one for Christmas 2013. I have the IPhone 5s . Like many users, I want to be able to back up the pictures I take and or receive on my phone to my computer. I have a Dell laptop running on Windows 7. I downloaded iCloud 3.0 and have the checked off the box next to Photos. I also have Photos turned on in the ICloud settings on my phone. I experienced this problem back in April, where my photos were not syncing to my computer. I contacted Apple Support, and he ran several tests. I took a couple of pictures, and they started syncing. While I was not able to get all of my photos, I had the majority of them and I figured the problem was solved and would continue to sync from there on out.
I just checked this past weekend and saw none of my recent photos were there. I proceeded to google the subject, tried deleting the ICloud control panel and redownloaded it, and then forced a backup on my phone. It only backed up 87 of the 517 photos I have in my Photo Stream. I tried these trouble shooting options below but once again, only have 90 of the 517 photos I have:
1. Open Task Manager (ctrl, alt and delete) and end ApplePhotoStream.exe and AppltPhotoStreamDownloader.exe if they’re running.
2. Go to your Users folder and navigate to the following path: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MediaStream\
3. Delete everything in that folder.
These files are a local cache of what has already been synced but it appears to get stuck so deleting these files forces it to resync again from scratch.
4. Open iCloud Control Panel and make sure “Photos” are checked.
The above steps force re-downloading of images after any stuck point. It should make sure that your newer images are downloaded.
My husband has an IPhone as well, and his photos sync no problem to his IPad. I am assuming this works better since they are both Apple Products. Can someone please help me resolve this issue as I would like to be able to get my photos on my computer so I can delete some of them off my phone?

If the missing photos were added to photo stream more than 30 days ago they are no longer in iCloud (although they may still be on your your phone). In that case, to get the older photos to stream to your computer you can add them to a shared stream on your phone (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). (Note: when creating the shared stream, you don't have to invite any subscribers. As the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed to it; just skip that step.) Another option is to save them to the camera roll on the phone and import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

Photo stream not syncing to other devices

I have an iPhone, iPad and Macbook but can not get my photo streams to sync on all my devices. Example I have 5 different streams on my phone but they are not visible on my macbook and iPad

Hi Carolyn Samit & Kyled75,
I'm having almost a similar issue with my two iDevices. I have an iPad 3 and an iPhone 6 Plus and both of them have exactly the same settings for iCloud as well as "Photos & Camera". Photo Stream is enabled on both devices.
But when I go to "Photos -> Albums -> My Photo Stream" or simply in the main Photos Section, I cannot see all my previous photos and videos on my iPhone. However, on my iPad, I can see each and every photo and video perfectly without any hassle.
I really hope to get some help on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Abid

Photo stream not syncing

so i have a iphone 4s a ipad2, apple tv and i have recently downloaded icloud for pc. My problem is that my photos are not syncing to each device. they all have different images under photostream although they are logged in under the same icloud account. The main pictures are taken from my iphone so what i have done is copied the images from the camera roll on my iphone and copied them into the photostream folder in the icloud software on my pc. when i then turn the photostream software back on on my ipad it only brings back a few clipart images that were saved locally on the ipad months ago from a colouring app.
on the applt tv it is the same thing it will only bring in a few images but these are not the same as what opens on the ipad they are from my phone but only a few. also since i copied the pics from the camera roll on my phone the photostream on my phone has reduced in size also but nothing like the ipad or apple tv
any help would be appreciated

Here's a little more detail on what happens. When you take a photo on your phone it's saved to the camera roll. When the photo app is closed, you are connected to wifi and your phone has at least 20% battery life remaining, it will then upload to photo stream in iCloud. Once there, iCloud will stream a "device optimized" copy of the photo to your iOS devices and Apple TV, and a full resolution copy to your computer. Once on your devces, a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. However, they only stay in iCloud for 30 days (even though they remain on any device that has already received them). Because of this, when you connect a new device to your photo stream, it downloads all the photo stream photos still in iCloud; which are only the phtoos from the last 30 days. This creates a situation where you may have old photo stream photos on your phone than the ones you have on other devices, which were connect to your photo stream at a later date.
To get these older photos to appear on your other iOS devices, you can add them to a shared photo stream and invite yourself. To get them to your PC, save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
