Bought a new phone, I had 1000 photos in photostream but only 50 hit my new phone

I upgraded to iphone5 yesterday, there were 1000 photos in photostream with regular back ups to icloud.  But I was only able to transfer 50 photos to my new phone?  When I log into icloud I don't see photos, I thought they were backed up to icloud, right?  What can I do to find my photos?
Thank you,

Photo stream photos are only saved in iCloud for 30 days, but if you have an iCloud backup it will contain the photo and videos in the camera roll at the time of the backup.  Restoring the backup to your new phone should recover them.
To restore an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as you are restoring the backup.
Note: your new phone will need to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your old one in order to restore the backup.  (You can check by going to Settings>General>About>Version.)  If it isn't, you'll need to update it before atttempting to restore the backup.

  • TS4139 I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru ICloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with both addresses? Can I get that address back?

    I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru iCloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with each address? Can I still get that secondary address to work with iCloud?

    It was totally separate. I just now went back to a previous email from Apple to that secondary address which urged me to transition to iCloud. I followed the link and it prompted me thru the process and the address is now able to send/receive emails. Thanks.

  • TS3989 Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV

    Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.

  • TS3989 Had ~300 photos in photostream, restored phone now 72, can I get the others back?

    Hi today apple had to restore my phone and the backup isn't working-I lost all my photos. Before restore my photostream had ~300 photos now when I turn it on I have 72 photos. I see it says it saves photos for 30 days but this morning I had much older photos and lots of them. Is there somewhere, someway to get them back?????

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos removed from photo stream, may stay on your device after removal, if you then delete them from your device you cannot recover them.

  • Why I can't find my photo stream? I have 1000 photos in it but when I open it I only have 700?

    I Have an iPhone6 and last night I mistaken log off my icloud id so when I log in again in my phone my some of my photos in photo stream are gone I used to have 1000 photos now I only have 700. And why everytime I delete a picture in camera roll it automatically delete in my photo stream too??

    Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

  • New PC, reinstalled CS4, photos appear blurry, but only inside of Photoshop???

    I recently upgraded to a new PC, on Windows 7.  I've finally finished reinstalling everything and getting things back to "working order".  But I'm noticing something very troubling.  When I open previously edited photos in Photoshop, photos that I considered "final" (meaning they were print-ready), suddenly appear blurry.  The same photos viewed on my website are crisp and look as I remember them looking...so it's not the monitor.  Which leads me to believe that Photoshop is doing something odd to these pix. 
    Anybody have any ideas as to why the photos would appear blurry, but only in Photoshop?

    OpenGL operation uses a smoother resampling, but if you're seeing it as "blurry" it could be that there are features configured on the GPU that suit gaming or something that are causing excessive blurring.  Normally the differences between OpenGL-based display operations and non-OpenGL are almost unnoticeable.
    Any way you could capture your screen with/without OpenGL and show what you're seeing here?
    Here's the same image screen grabbed at 71% magnification showing the OpenGL / non-OpenGL difference in display on a properly working system.
    If you're seeing more blurry images than the one on the left, then you have a specific problem you should work to get to the bottom of.

  • ? on photo - file found but only linking that one photo even when the box is checked.

    In Lightroom Library, a set of photos all have ?? question marks.. SO when I begin to link to the file, it is not linking the whole folder.. but only one at a time.  What can I do?

    what happened was files were moved outside lightroom, and its having trouble locating them...
    Locate missing photos
    Sometimes the link between the catalog and a photo breaks. When that happens, Lightroom displays a Photo Is Missing icon in image cells in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. In the Develop module, Lightroom indicates that the photo is offline or missing. Links between a catalog and its photos can break for a variety of reasons, including because photos are moved in the operating system instead of from within Lightroom, or because photos are stored on an external drive that is offline. If the drive is offline, turn it on.
    (Optional) In the Library module, choose Library > Find Missing Photos to display missing files in the Grid view.
    Click the Photo Is Missing icon in a thumbnail cell in the Grid view.A dialog box opens and displays the last known location of the missing photo.
    Click the Locate button, navigate to where the photo is currently located, and then click Select.
    (Optional) In the Locate dialog box, select Find Nearby Missing Photos to have Lightroom search for other missing photos in the folder and reconnect them as well.
    you are going to want to do the #4, to reconnect all of them.

    Ps. if that doesn't work, trying synching your folders:
    Synchronize folders
    When you synchronize folders, you have the option of adding files that have been added to the folder but not imported into the catalog, removing files that have been deleted, and scanning for metadata updates. The photo files in the folder and all subfolders can be synchronized. You can determine which folders, subfolders, and files are imported.
    In the Folders panel, select the folder you want to synchronize.
    Choose Library > Synchronize Folder.
    In the Synchronize Folder dialog box, do any of the following:
    To import photos that appear in the folders but have not been imported in the catalog, select Import New Photos. If you select Show Import Dialog Before Importing, you can specify which folders and photos are imported.
    To remove photos that have been deleted from the folder but not from the catalog, select Remove Missing Photos From Catalog. If this option is dimmed, no files are missing. (You can choose Show Missing Photos to display the photos in Grid view.)
    To scan for any metadata changes made to the files in another application, choose Scan For Metadata Updates.
    Click Synchronize.
    If the Import Photos dialog box opens, specify the folders and files you want to import, and then click Import.

  • No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

    I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
    1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
    2. Syncs to great up until last night
    3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
    4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
    5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
    Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
    Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
    Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
    Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
    Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
    I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

    Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

  • Mac Mail- all incoming photos are corrupted- but only on my MBP, not my iphone. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    My Mac Mail is driving me bonkers!
    For the last week or so, it's been extremely erratic on my Macbook Pro (seems fine on my phone). First it dumped all of my sent messages- then it gradually loaded them all up again, over the course of a couple of hours.
    Then it dumped three year's worth of messages from my inbox, slowly adding them back in again over the next couple of days (this still seems to be happening in some form or other in that my mail activity frequently tells me that 800 emails (for example) are downloading.
    Most irritating of all, I can't receive any images without them being corrupted. They're fine on my phone- this is definitely a MBP only problem.
    I've not changed anything recently- and my phone is still running iOS 6.1.3
    Any ideas?

    I switched around 9 years ago. Second Mac, first problem I've ever really had in all that time. It dumped another 30,000 emails this morning- including ones that I need to work with right now. Still receiving garbled images.
    Went to schedule a call with Apple- see if they can shed any light on it. Going to get back to me in 6 days. Brilliant.
    It's just not good enough. This isn't what I'm paying for.

  • 29Gig of photos on drive, but only 1.8G in Iphoto - where are they?

    Hello all - I found that my drive was nearly full, and had to make some room, so I found many pics which I no longer needed, and thus deleted them, however I found this barely touched what the profiler says I have for photos/video on my drive. It says I have almost 30Gig, but iPhoto says I have just 1.8 in that program. Where else could they be?
    Thanks

    Hello Larry
    I see it is 9.5.1. When I deleted the few I had I just right clicked and put them in the trash, or highlighted and hit "delete". However, the few dozen I deleted in no way approaches almost 27Gig of photo/video which is showing up when I go to "About this Mac" and clcik on "more info". I think the 27Gig is somewhere other than in IPhoto, or could it possibly be that all the thousands of photos I have deleted I did the wrong way, thus are still on my drive somewhere?
    Thanks

  • Photo transfer and update from 5-year-old Macbook to new iMac using Time Machine resulted in half of 2014's photos being un-viewable (only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows).  How do I fix it?

    I turned on my new iMac for the first time today and set it up using a backup on Time Machine from my old Macbook, which is running OS X 10.9.5 and has iPhoto version 8.1.2.  When I went to open iPhoto on the new computer, it said I had to update the photos to work with the new version.  Now, my photos from part of July 26, 2014 and onwards do not show up in the new iPhoto.  The albums and spaces for the photos are there, but only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows in their place.  Every other photo from 2003 to half of July 26, 2014 appears to have updated without issue.  None of the fixes/rebuilds I tried worked.  When I open up TimeMachine, it has no backups that I can use for the new computer (perhaps, because I wanted to still have access to use my old backups for my old laptop so told it not to use them for the new computer).  My most recent half a year's photos are the ones I need the most.  How do I make them appear on my new iMac?

    Do you still have the old Mac? Then check, if the iPhoto Library has the newer events from July 26 onwards.
    If yes, copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the new mac by connecting both computers. And then try to upgrade the copied library.
    If you no longer have access to the old mac, you could try to inherit the backup of the old Mac and try to restore the iPhoto Library from it.

  • More than 1,000 photos in Photostream, Events as well?

    I made a clean install of Lion and recuperated about 5,000 photos in a regular folder structure. Never opened iPhoto after the clean install.
    Yesterday, I upgraded iPhoto on all devices, including my MBP and opened iPhoto for the first time. I activated Photostream and now I have the advertised 1,000 photos in Photostream but overall, I find now 2,300 photos and 79 events. I did not import anything in iPhoto, did not open iTunes and have never synced iPhone and iPad over iTunes with this machine. How is that possible?
    I had my 5,000 photos still on my iPhone and iPad where I installed yesterday also iPhoto for iOS. Did Photostream recuperate all of those photos? Did it sync them back from my mobile devices?
    Anybody any ideas?

    You're talking about photo stream (up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days).  Photo stream is not a photo storage service, in fact, icloud doesn't provide a photo storage; the only other thing it does is perform backups of the Camera Roll, if you have set that up correctly.  You should be syncing photos to your computer for archiving, don't trust the pics to icloud!
    Aside from storing on your computer, there are other services that provide storage - like Dropbox.

  • Not all Photos in photostream are downloaded !!

    I bought iPadAir yesterday and I activate the photostream where I have over 700 photos there. But only latest 9 photos are downloaded in my ipad when I took new pics with my iPhone still can see them in my ipad. Does the age of the photo make diff. Here?
    Thanks

    Yes.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  When you enable it on a new device, it can only access photos that were added in the last 30 days.

  • No photos in Photostream in iphoto

    When I try to look at my photostream in iPhoto (v 9.3.2) it tells me that there are no photos there.
    However:
    - on my iPhone and iPad I see my last 1000 photos in photostream
    - on my Mac, photos are automatically getting transferred into new events (like Photostream Aug 2012)
    - Photostream is ON in my preferences on my Mac, my iPhone, and my iPad
    So it seems to be working... my photos are going into photostream across devices... but when I try to look at them in Photostream on my Mac, I can't see any of them.
    Noticed this for the first time a week or so ago... very weird. Is this a Mountain Lion thing? Is anybody else experiencing this?
    Thanks,
    John

    First you have to make sure the Photo Stream photos have been imported into you iPhoto Library before they can be shared via a public or private Photo Stream:
    Once imported you can select them in the library and create a public or private Photo Stream to share:

    Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).
