Shortcomings in the photo stream

I have 4 devices hooked up to iCloud and photo stream will take random pictures from each devices with apparently no method or pattern. Sometimes it just won't pick up pictures at all and a whole lot of my picture appear in photo stream on my iPad but won't appear on the iPhone or e iPod. I have actually given up using photo stream currently and I'm just using Dropbox instead, this seems to be a bit more reliable and predictable.
Any solutions to this problem?

Hey Ajkip,
There's a few troubleshooting steps in the following document that might help you out. I'd go through them and see if your issue is resolved:

  • Is there a way to delete photos from Photo Stream on my macbook pro? (Not from my folders,etc.) I need to empty the photo stream. Something in my photo stream has corrupted my phone and my apple specialist suggested I do this.

    Is there a way to delete the photos in Photo Stream on my mackbook pro notebook?
    My phone became corrupted today and, after continuing to have problems with 2 new phones, the apple specialists determined that the only possible explanation was the presence of a corrupted photo or video in photo stream; and that the only way to use my phone without it shutting down was to deactivate the photo stream on it.  It worked, but I would like to be able to have the option of using photostream again. The apple folks suggested that I delete all photos from photo stream on my computer; and then, when it is "empty", reactivate it on my phone? Is anyone familiar with this problem?

    If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

  • Help! My photos won't stream to the cloud and share with other devices. ( I've had the photo stream button on all the time I've had the phone.) The only way I can do it is by manually adding them to photo stream and this is very slow/ misses photos..

    Hello,
    I'm very frustrated. I need to delete photos from my iphone to increase the storage so I can update the operating system. Since first using the phone I bought extra iCloud storage and ensured the photo streaming button for the iCloud was turned on.
    Unfortunately it seems to have a mind of its own and will download and share some photos but the majority have not been downloaded.
    I've resorted to manually putting them on photo stream (the one you share with friends) so the photos will be on my iPad. It also takes ages for my iphone to put them on the photo stream. It's downloaded one album x3 ..??!!? I've tried deleting the duplicated photos but it's now frozen on me....
    I haven't dared delete the photos from my camera roll in case I loose them all and I'm therefore stuck in the situation of being unable to download the new operating system or take anymore photos/download music/apps. It *****!
    Please Help!
    Are there any other options for me to be able to  download my photos when I don't have a computer/laptop? Is there a permanent online storage option I can use?
    Thanks
    Becky

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

    Please let me know how things are going.

  • How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    Hi,
    It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

  • If I reset/restore my old iPhone 4 for my sister to use, will it delete the photos in the photo stream on the phone from iPhoto on my macbook?

    I want to delete everything off the phone but don't want the photo stream to update on the mac and delete the photos saved on it from the iPhone 4.
    Thanks

    See this document:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If you proceed like described above, your Photo Stream should not be erased in iCloud, but it would be safer to download all Photo Stream photos to events on your Mac.

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • How do i upload the photo stream pictures on my iphone to my pc

    hi
    i have successfully uploaded some photos from my Iphone to my pc
    but find that the photo stream pictures were not included
    is there a way to upload this batch ?

    You have iCloud control panel installed on your PC and you're signed in? If so, sign out, restart the machine, then sign back in.

  • HT201317 How do I add existing photos and albumns on my iPhone to the photo stream?

    How do I add existing photos and albumns on my iPhone to the photo stream?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The easiest method is to connect your device to iTunes, transfer the photos to your computer and add them to photostream from there. If you only have a few photos to add, you could take a screenshot of each one.

  • HT5622 I have issues with my iphone putting all my photos in the photo stream and an issue with my icloud on my PC updating the photo s stream.

    Some of the photo I take with my iphone will not get saved into my photo stream.   Some of these photos were taken while the iphone was connected to the wifi, but did not get saved.  Other photos were while not on wifi and they seem to get saved.  I have not narrowed down what is the difference between those photos that get saved and those that don't get saved.  Is there a way to force a photo to get saved?  I would like to be able to access these photos from all my devices. 
    I also have an issue with the photo stream on my PC getting updated.  I have photos in the photo stream that is updated on my Ipad and iphone.  However, these photos are not getting updated on the PC.  Everything seems to be set up on the icloud and photos stream for the PC. 
    Thanks,

    That is the way it is designed to work.  If you want the photos on your Mac on your new iPhone, you can sync them with iTunes.

  • HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • Is there a way to reorder the Photo Stream Albums on my iOS Device?

    I have been searching for a way to change the order of my Photo Stream albums on my iPhone/iPad/MacBook Air to no avail.  Is there a way to change the order that they are shown within the Photo Stream in my photos?  Thanks

    I've been looking for the same thing.  It would seem to be a good feature for Apple to add.
    I have found one workaround that may be helpful to you, although it's a bit of a pain.  The images appear in the order that you add them to the stream.  And you can select the images from the stream itself to add them again.  So what I did is
    1.  Add all the pictures I need to the stream.
    2.  Determine the order I want them in.
    3.  From the stream, add the pictures again one by one (using "select" within the stream, then the little "send to" icon).
    4.  Delete the originals from the stream.
    And this did the trick.

  • I invited someone to my shared photo album but it's telling them the photo stream is no longer shared even though it's there???

    I am trying to add my dad to my shared photo folder and every time he get's the invite and clicks the subscribe button it tells him the photo stream is no longer shared. Apple support says that if you get that message that the owner (me) must have removed the folder or your invite but I didn't! My husband joined without any problems. I'm NOT trying to start a family shared group where we share everything, just let him see my one photo album. Please help as we can NOT figure this out!
