All Photostream photos will not download to iPad

I have over 1000 photos in my photostream on my mac computer. However, since about 95% are over 30 days they will not sync to my ipad, how do I manually sync them to photostream on my ipad from my mac computer? I have done it before, but I can't remember. I have turned icloud off on my ipad and turned it back on, as well as turned photostream off on my computer. Please help! All the photos are on my iphone 4.

Put them in an album and connect the iPad to your Mac. Open iTunes and under Photos in the iPad's section select the option to sync that particular album with the iPad.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Apps will not download on iPad. Just sits there waiting.

Reboot your iPad and try again. To reboot: Press and hold the power AND home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart. You will not lose any data or settings. When it comes up, see if you can download apps

Songs will not download to iPad - download error, try again

I have 6 songs that will not download onto my iPad. They are on my iPhone, but will not load onto my iPad. ITunes Store says "download error. Tap to retry." I've been retrying for a month!

Hi there edwinfromplacitas,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Photos will not Sync to iPad, iPhone or Apple TV.

I am not able to Sync photos, on my iPhone or iPad, when cabled to my iMac. I have checked "Sync Photos from iPhoto" and the photo albums (within iTunes) show zero photos.
Also, not able to view photos on Apple TV. I have gone to iTunes File>Home Sharing> "Choose Photos to share with Apple TV" and checked the desired albums. The photo albums (within ITunes) show zero photos.
I have already backed up Photo Library, ‘Repaired Permissions’, Rebuilt Thumbnails, Repaired Data Base and ‘Rebuilt Database’.
Any solutions ?

Try rebuild the old library - but note the caveats:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Photos will not edit on ipad

I have downloaded my photos from macbook to my ipad, but when I come to edit them on the ipad, the edit tag does not work.
advice would be appreciated.

That is my experience as well. I do the editing in my computer before syncing.
Search for Photpad in the Apps store. I think it tis free. Install it and see if it allows you to do what you want. I do know, however, that it will not let you re-name the photo.

My photos will not sync to ipad

Why is my photos not syncing with my ipad

Ok so I had attitude - This being new to iPad/iCloud etc is very frustrating and I hate not knowing. The problem with ignorance is that you don't know what you don't know, so providing info can be a challenge. Being made to feel dumb doesn't help. I'm an older lady who doesn't understand the ins and outs of all this technology.
I have a brand new iPad, and a Macbook Pro which is rather elderly, with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 operating system. (I have bought Snow Leopard but haven't installed it on laptop after loads of issues with the installation on my iMac)
I gather that to sync all of my iTunes/iPhoto etc., I would need to have the most recent operating system available. (I have no idea what that is) My iPhone & Ipad are ok with my address book, mail, etc., but not the iTunes/iPhoto. As I need the iPad as a portable gallery of my paintings it's quite important to me that I get iPhoto. I discovered that I could email images to myself then save them onto the iPad, but clearly that's not a practical solution. I gather also that photos I take with my iPad and iPhone sync automatically, but it's other images I want on there. When I connect the iPad to my laptop, I can't just drag the files into it (like an iPod) so what to do?

IPad apps will not download?, IPad apps will not download?

IPad apps will not update even though the iPad screen shows apps need upgrade. What's happening, is Apple losing it?

This problem has been ongoing for several days now. Hundreds of people are in the same boat as you. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

HT201317 my photo will not download to my pc. it just stop working

my photos no longer download to my pc

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

My icloud email and exchange email will not download to ipad. How can I fix this?

I got my ipad for Christmas and my husband set it up before he gave it to me (on 12-22-12). Everything was working fine until around Christmas day, I haven't gotten an email since 4:00 on that day. He has checked all of the settings, they are fine. When I open my Mail, I see a refresh circle in the top left corner, then it will come up with an alert saying "cannot connect to server". All other apps work with our internet connection; Safari, Youtube, etc. We are new to the apple world.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

After rebuild of iphoto- photos will not sync (iphone + ipad)

While syncing the iphone (5s), iphoto (v9.4.3) opened and a pop-up prompted me that I needed to rebuild my library. Clicked to do so, and after the rebuild finished, I went to sync in itunes and noticed my photo settings had changed. The "Selected albums, Events,..." is grayed out. I unselected "Sync Photos from iphoto" synced to erase what had been selected from the iphone. With "sync photos" unchecked it syncs normally. When checked (the only option: All photos,..) I get an error code "The iPhone "--" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140)." Tryed syncing my iPad (3 gen) with the same result.
I have both my iphoto and itunes libary on an external HD through my older iMac (running OSX 10.7.5). Have tried: rebooting everything/ running a Disk Utilities repair disk permissions/ an iphoto permissions repair/ deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder/ Opening the AlbumData.xml seeking out all "&" and changing them (via another thread)... all without any success. I am able to access pictures through other applications (imovie/ pages) and iphoto still recognizes and asked to import photos with iphone/ipad connected. I have an time machine back up, but haven't restored anything from that. Any ideas how to regain the option to select albums, events, etc... would be very appreciated.

Hello Jezky123,
It sounds like you are unable to sync photos now from from iPhoto through iTunes to an iOS device. You did some great troubleshooting already. Next I would try deleting the iPod photo cache and then try again:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
iPhoto or Aperture
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture library, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Go > Home. If you moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location instead.
Open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.)
Control-click iPhoto Library or Aperture Library and choose Show Package Contents.
In the next window, drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash.
Important: Don't remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Photos will not sync with ipad (3)

I have tryed the normal stuff...restart, new folders, hard restart, did not try the software reset. I had this issue before and the software reset worked but i had to re-set all the passwords and stuff it gets to be a pain.
Is there a way to correct this issue without resetting the ipad and how then can i prevent this from happening again?
Photographer Al

Your MacBook must be quite old. My suggestion is to sell it and replace it with a newer model that can support later software. You have probably received many years of good service from the old machine.
Good luck.
