Camera photos not syncing to photostream over wifi, but other photos are?!

Hi all,
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2011 updated to Lion OSX 10.7.2. iPhoto has been updated to 9.2 and my iPhone has iOS 5.
iCloud is syncing my calendar, mail and iWork items with no problems. The phone and macbook are both connected to wi-fi on the same connection.
The only thing that's not working is Photo Stream.
It's turned on in the Mac settings pane and enabled on the phone. The strange thing is that if I take a screenshot on the phone or if I download a photo from the web (like wallpaper from an app), the photo will show in my photostream.
If I take a photo with the camera on the phone, it isn't being sent to the cloud.
Find My Mac, Mail, Calendar, iWork etc are all working fine. It's just this problem with the photos.
Some advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi yantaialec,
Once you have insured WiFi is on and Photo Stream is enabled, the only other thing I can think of is to make sure the Camera App is closed for the photo syncing to work.
From iCloud: Photo Stream Troubleshooting
"Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed."
You may even want to remove it from the Multitasking Bar just to make sure it's quit and see if it streams.
What does tech support say?

Mac will not sync with ipad over wifi

I have iTunes set to sync with the ipad over wifi; wifi is turned on on both mac and ipad; both are logged in but i can only sync using a cable plugged into the mac. Any ideas why.
Thanks for the help

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.

Trying to share ethernet over WiFi but connection options are greyed out?

Newby question: I have a Mac Mini 2GHz C2D running OS 10.5.5. I am connected to the internet using my cable modem. When I use the Sharing system preferences control to establish Internet Sharing the boxes with "Share your connection from" and the box with "To computers using" are greyed out.
I'm fairly certain that the wifi card is working because I can see my neighbors wifi network. Also, a friends ITouch can see my computer and it even asks for and validates the password I established, it just can't access the internet.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am running 10.5.5 so that's not the issue. Also the Internet Sharing has been unlocked the entire time. I tried locking and then unlocking unlocking it (had to enter my admin password) and it didn't change anything.
Still confused.
Could the issue be related to other network settings such as network name, location settings, order of the internet and WiFi on the network control panel, etc.?
As I noted earlier you are running an old version of Leopard, so what I have may not be the same as what you have.

I can't connect to my wifi, but other people are able to although I am able to connect to other peoples wifi in their homes. Any suggestions as to what is going on.

I enter my wifi Password and my iPad gives me the message that it cannot connect to the wifi. I know the password is correct and other people do access it.
I have been able to access other peoples wifi with no problem. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

If you have more than one device in your house, you may find that this kind of thing happens from time to time, and it happens when your router gives to another device the address previously used to route Internet traffic to your computer, meanwhile your computer still thinks it's using that same, old address. The technical term for this problem is “IP address collision.”
In the short term, the fix is to power off (not sleep) all the devices in your home that connect to the Internet, along with your router and modem. Leave everything off for at least a full minute, then power on your devices in the following order (and make sure each one is fully on and working properly before powering on the next item): modem, router, any devices that maintain a permanent connection to the Internet, devices that only sometimes connect to the Internet (such as laptop computers or cell phones). This process will clear out the routing tables and make all devices connect from scratch.
In the long term, you'll want to make sure each device that only sometimes uses your internet connection uses an assigned IP address when at home. For Macs, you can use the location feature of the Networking pane in System Preferences to make this happen. For other devices, you'll want to consult the user manual, or (probably) Google, Wikipedia, or YouTube.

Macbook Pro won't connect to wifi but other computers are working perfectly

Hi,
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that connects to WiFi no problem anywhere else - except for my parent's house (who I am currently visiting). There are 2 other PCs in the house that connect to the WiFi without a problem, as does my iPhone. When I try to connect, the Network Setup Assistant keeps saying "Connection Timeout" and then when I go into "Assist Me" the error comes up as "The password you entered is invalid." I know that the password is correct, but I can't get passed this step...tried restarting computer and router but no luck.
Help!!

Click the Advanced button in the Network preference pane, then the TCP/IP tab. Type something (anything, as long as it's unique) in the DHCP Client ID text box. Click OK, then Apply. Reopen the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP lease.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Only photos taken on the iOS device and after photo stream was enabled will be added to photo stream.

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You

To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

ITunes not syncing a little over 1,000 songs

I just got an iPod touch 5th gen and have updated it to IOS 7. I already had iTunes and an iPod 4th gen that had no problems syncing, etc. When I went to sync my new iPod it synced mostly everything; my apps, pictures, etc all were transferred. However, around 1,000 songs weren't added. At first they 'were added' but they had the little red square inside a circle beside the song when I went to play it on my iPod. The songs showed up, but wouldn't play. I fooled around with it and tried to sync it a few more times, but now the songs aren't showing up on my iPod and they won't sync. Sometimes it says "syncing failed to start" and other times it'll act like it's starting to sync and then cancel. All other songs are playing fine on the device and even the ones that didn't synce play on my computer. All of them are mp3 files that I downloaded from 3rd party sites/torrented. None of them were bought in the iTunes store. I've tried resetting my sync history, restarting the iPod and closing and reopening iTunes. Any tips or should I just tough it out until a new version of iTunes is out?

The fact you didn't purchase them from Apple shouldn't make any difference. Or at least it didn't used to make any difference. Out of the thousands of mp3 I have only a handful (literally about 9 tracks) I purchased via iTunes. These have always sync'd to the iPod without bother.
However, my experience is only with iPod classic, iPod touch on iOS6 and iTunes 10.7 so perhaps things have changed. In short. Having media from outside of the iStore shouldn't cause you sync issues, unless the format is not supported (but mp3's are).
I would try putting all of the songs that won't sync into a playlist and just importing that play list to the iPod and see if that makes a difference.
Sorry I don't have a better solution for you. Despite iTunes being rather good at syncing playlists to a device, I can really see the appeal in my Android phone,where I just copy over the mp3 I want without all of the dependancy on iTunes. I hope Apple sort it out. This is the sort of SNAFU that they will lose customers over.

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

Hello drumsdonkey,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Yes, if you are provisioned by your carrier to do so. IF both phones are iphones with IOS 5.0 or higher then you can use imessage.

Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared. Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB! What is going on and how do I fix this?

I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem. Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
*edit*
A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). If each of these has been tried and the issue still occurs, the only option left is to take to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Out of Warranty replacement is $199US.
