4S: Photo Stream shows up in Photos even tho it's off in Sys Prefs-iCloud

The subject says it, really. I should add that it is also not active on my two Macs.
I've tried turnin it on and off in Sys Prefs on the phone but it's still there.
Any ideas how I can turn off Photo Stream?
Thanks

Photo Stream showing not my photos

Hi! I suddenly find photos belonging to people unknown to me in my iPhone 4S Photo Stream. I do not use Photo Stream for my own photos. In iCloud on my iMac the Photo Stream option is not even tick-marked. On the iPhone though My Photo Stream, Documents & Data options and Find My iPhone are the only options under iCloud On. I have a very strong password and my home Wi-Fi is also password protected. What is going on?

If the Photo Stream photos that are missing are over a month old, or if you had more than 1000 photos, then they are no longer on the Photo Stream. The Photo Stream is not designed as a backup for your photos. It's primary purpose is to share photos among devices signed onto the same iCloud account. If the missing photos were on your Camera Roll as well, and you have an iCloud backup, you can restore to that backup.
If they were not, and you did not import your photos to your computer, then they are gone. Sorry

Photo Stream issue. Photo Stream shows 263 photos when viewed on the iMac, 289 when viewed on the iPad and 327 when viewed on the iPhone. How can this be?

HT201317 Why are my photo streams showing on my iPad but not my camera roll photos from my iPhone?

JUst bought iPad. Photos not loading from iPhone. iCloud is on on all settings.

No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing. "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

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 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.

Photo Stream only Uploading Some Photos

Has anyone else noticed this? If I take a picture on my iPhone 5, sometimes it shows in my camera roll and in Photo Stream. Sometimes, it only shows in my camera roll. Likewise, the Photo Stream library on my iPad 4 isn't picking up the new photos from my iPhone 5. The problem seems a little intermittent. Some photo upload fine, but I've had several that don't for some reason.
Any ideas?

HT201317 Shouldn't the photos on my iPhone's "My Photo Stream" be the same photos that are on my computer under "photo stream"?

Not if you enable photo stream on your computer at a later date. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos remain on your iOS devices until deleted. This means that when you enable photo stream on your computer (or any other device) you only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days, even though you may have older photos on your phone.

Photo stream hasnt imported my photos to my MBP from my iphone since june 10

Photo stream hasnt imported my photos to my MBP from my iphone since june 10. And even before that it took a day or more to import them. I wasnt sure where to post this. So I posted it twice.

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane on your MBP
and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT1535 I have "Camera roll" and "Photo Stream" - effectively storing my photo's twice - how do I delete and which one do I delete?

your photos are in events -
the most common cause of not seeing the events is bad camera dates or event sort being wrong so you are looking in the wrong place - see the view menu ==> sort events to correct sort - if the camera date is off select a photo and right click and show event to find it - then use the adjust time and date command to correct it
and you can drag photos to the desktop - what happens when you do? probably a better work flow with more flexibility is to select the photo(c) and export them (file menu ==> expoprt) to a desktop folder

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 uploading unless photos app is open

I am having issues with Photo Stream. According to Apple--
"On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections."
That is fine BUT I took 20+ pictures with my iPhone, came home and of course connected to my WiFi. None of the photos were uploaded. Several hours later I realized this and opened "photos" then they started uploading. So I hit the home button to exit photos and the upload stopped. Apparently the way this is now it is NOT HAPPENING AUTOMATICALLY I have to sit there with my photos app open and wait until it is finished.
Not Cool! Any Ideas?

I have the same problem. I cloud is turned on on my PC. Photostream is on. I have photos in my photostream on my iphone but nothing appears in my pc, ever

TS3989 My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7). What can I do?

At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further. As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them. Just make sure first that they are in your photo software. If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway. So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

HT201317 Is it possible to retrieve photos once the 30 days is up or once the photo stream exceeds the 1000 photo limit?

No. Photo stream photos are not backed up so there is no way to restore them. Only camera roll photos are backed up.
