Photo stream not updating in Photos on iMac

My photos stream is working on iPhone and iPad but not on the iMac - it accesses photos from about 10 days ago, that's from before Photos was installed but it won't automatically pick up new photos taken on iPhone or iPad since Photos replaced iPhoto.
If I mail the new photos to myself I can import them into my photo library but they aren't appearing in the photo stream.
I have iCloud photo sharing turned off because I have w-a-a-ay too many photos in my library to store that way. Shouldn't Photo Stream work independently of iCloud photo sharing?

I was able to force a download of my photostream by disabling Automatic Import and Automatic Upload in Preferences>Photostream.

  • Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

    Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore.  I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures.  It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

    This issue is has been resolved.  The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

  • Photo stream not updating

    My Photo Stream is currently not updating in Photo's. The last picture imported from my photo stream was April 7th? Any trouble shooting for this? All preferences are checked to automatically upload pictures taken with my iPhone to my photo stream so they should be in the iCloud section of Photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try disabling both the My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing in Photos' iCloud Preference pane.  Close Photos, reboot, open and reenable them.  See if that will jumpstart the My Photo Stream.

  • If you edit photos in iPhoto, will Photo Stream (iCloud) update the photos on your other devices?

    Am I dreaming or will Photo Stream (iCloud) update photos on my Macbook when I edit them (enhance, crop, rotate, etc) on my iMac (automatically or otherwise)? If so, do I need to do anything besides the basic Photo Stream setup to make this happen? The movie on Apple's site about iCloud seems to imply this is true, but it's vague. I'm unable to find anything about this in the small amount of Help articles about iCloud. Thanks for any help.

    Yes via your Wi-Fi network.

  • 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.

  • Why is my Photo stream not updating?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm running an iMac, iPhone and iPad, and have photo stream set up between them. I took some photos on my iPad, and set up a stream (to the best of my ability anyway - this is all abit new to me). The photos went to my iPhone easily enough, but I had to go into Tunes to look for them on my iPad. I asked iTunes to sync they did finally appear in iPhoto on my Mac.
    I then straightend and cropped them in iPhoto - these were clearly flagged up as being in Photo Stream - but this hasn't updated the photos on either my iPad or iPhone. Is it supposed to? I thought that's how the cloud worked? I have all boxes ticked in iCloud in iPhoto preferences.
    Any advice or info would be welcome. I'm not sure if this operator error, a cloud error, or I'm asking it to do something it can't.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • My Photo Stream not updating in new Photos app

    I do NOT have iCloud photo library on, so why won't My Photo Stream update?

    Same issue here. I installed iCloud 4.0 for Windows, but it looks like this started before I did that according to when the photos stopped syncing. I've done what you described, but have gotten no photos on the PC since September 7, 2014. Photos are being shared from my iPhone to iPad just fine, though.

  • Why is Photo stream not updating on my MacBook?

    Photostream is still very, very slow which is a little disappointing.. I have a very fast 100mbps down and 5mbps up Cable Internet connection so there is no problem there.
    The main problem tha I have is the iPhoto seems to not want to update the Photostream. The photos have been slow to appear on ATV 2 and the iPad but have not appeared in iPhoto at all.
    Any thoughts or tips?
    Thanks in advance.

    Forgive the obvious questions, but you don't say what you've tried.
    Is the MacBook signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad and the ATV?
    Did you turn on Photo Stream in the iCloud Panel of System Preferences?
    Did you turn on Enable Photo Stream AND Automatic Import on the Photo Stream panel of Preferences... in iPhoto?

  • Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
    I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

  • ICloud photo stream not updating

    I have been taking photos on my iPhone and I am having a couple of issues with photo stream
    1. It is only uploading photos I have taken today, all the photos I have taken previously are not uploading automatically. Is that a way I can do this?
    2. My iPad photostream isn't updating automatically, I am connected to wifi on both devices but I have to turn my iPad off then on again for the photos to upload.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)

  • HT201317 photo stream not updating

    Photos added to iPhone 4 Photo Stream folder do not update in PC folder.  iCloud is enabled on phone and Windows 7, phone is Wi-Fi connected.

    You may have enabled iCloud on your devices, but did you also turn on photo stream?  Check in Settings>iCloud on the iPhone.  Check the PC as well, but I don't know where that's done, as I use a Mac.

  • Photo stream not updating after Aperture update

    I installed ML and after I did that saw there was an update for Aperture 3.  So, I updated to 3.3.2.  Now, when I open up Photo Stream, it does not update.  My phone and iPad both update with the stream but not Aperture.  I checked all my settings and that is enabled.  Any clue as to the problem?
    Thanks!

    I have to wonder if this problem is somehow server related. I did had this problem, even over multiple restarts of Aperture. I fired up Aperture this morning and the sync worked.
    A couple of things that may contribute:
    1. This is a start of a new month. I wonder if that played into it.
    2. I rename my Photo Stream Project so that they will display in order alphabetically. Can't say if I had renamed a project of an active month previously, but I know i did that for July. The funny thing is my renamed July Project still synced correctly. In the future, I think I'll wait until the month is over to rename the project.

  • Photo stream not updating on windows PC

    icloud used to work with my ipad and download the photos to My Photo Stream. It has stopped doing this. I have now connected an iphone to the cloud and all the photos have downloaded to it. Why will the photos not update to my windows PC?
    If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream it will only update some of the photos for a two week period. (back in November last year).
    Any assistance would be welcome.

    Hello,
    Sorry for the trouble. That shouldn't happen! I am Vineeth and I am from the Norton Support team.
    Can you please disable the Smart Firewall feature in your Norton product temporarily and see whether you can update the iCloud photos? If you can do that, then we may need to allow the iCloud application under the firewall.
    Thanks!

  • Shared Photo Streams Not Updating?

    About a week ago I realized my shared photo streams were not updating. I am not recieving any new photos that my friends are posting, and when I upload new photos they don't go to any of my friends' devices. How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    I have had the same problem - Shared Photo Streams (evidently) do not update dynamically. There is also no button to force an update in the photo app either.
    On your iDevice by going into Settings > Photos & Camera and switching off "Shared Photo Streams".  Go into your Photo app and check that they have been removed.
    Now go back into the same Settings sub-menu and re-enable "Shared Photo Streams".  Back in the Photo app, you will see the shared stream update with the correct photos.
    I have the exact same problem with any shared photo streams I create on my iPhone - they do not appear on my iPad unless I do the above.  The same goes for iPhoto/Aperture on my Mac.

  • Photo stream not updating in aperture

    I import all my photos through the import tool in Aperture. I'm noticing that the photos are not uploading via wifi to my photo stream. Even if i select the photos once in Aperture and click the 'photo stream' button on the top toolbar, most of the pics never upload. I dont see them on my ipad, itouch or iphone. I've checked the user preferences in Aperture and have checked off the little box beside send to photo stream. But still, nothing. Incase it matters, i shoot everything on a canon 5D and Rebel XTI in RAW+Jpeg. I ingest both RAW and Jpeg when importing to aperture and have set RAW as the master file when importing. Can someone help out here?
    thanks
