Can't get photos in iCloud upload folder on pc to upload - help?

I've asked this question before but no answer for the problem. I believe I have everything set up properly on all my iOs devices and on my PC (where I have the iCloud control panel working). The problem is that any pictures I drop into the Upload folder for photostream don't ever upload to the cloud. All the pics I take on my iPhone or iPad will show up in the download folder on my PC, but not the other way around. I've logged out of iCloud on the PC and logged back in but hasn't helped. I've changed the upload folder, but that doesn't matter.
We take lots of photos that are loaded by SD card onto our pc and want many of them loaded to iCloud for viewing on our iOs devices but just can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated!

Two tips:
(1) Are you sure that the "My Photostream" function on each and every one of your iOS devices is turned ON?
(2) In my experience, once the My Photostream function is on, dragging and dropping still photos into the Uploads folder works. But it does not (for me, at least) work for videos.  I thought it would.
Hope this helps. If you -- dwcliff -- or anybody else reading this reply would like me to clarfy anything further, as your questions, and I will respond to them as best I can!

  • Can't get photos from iCloud onto iPad since updating

    HI guys, not very technical so please bear with me  
    Basically, I updated my iPad software yesterday and all my photos disappeared. So I shared them all again from my iPhone so they would then go back on to my iPad. This worked at first and then stopped working so some photos are on Ipad but not others, and I cannot figure out why or what to do to get my photos from icloud onto my iPad. Anyone know what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?
    thanks in advance for any help  

    Can anyone help? Basically, any photos I send to iCloud are not going to my iPad now since updating. Would appreciate any advice please.
    thanks

  • HT1296 Can't get photos from icloud & more probs??

    1. Some months ago, my husband's phone packed up & he wen't to the istore for a replacement. The guy there said he was able to retreive pictures off the old phone & had put them on icloud. My husband doesn't have an icloud account so the guy somehow put them on mine(don't know how he got into it, without password, etc). We've been unable to find them though & istore was no help, saying we needed icloud on the computer to get it - had WinXP at the time & was unable to do that.
    So I've just upgraded to Win7 and still can't work out how to get the photos! It seems now there's just a website for icloud, when I thought previously you had to download a program. On the page it doesn't show photos or videos. Somewhere in my travels I came across an icloud page that showed various 'albums' of mine, which included my husband's lost ones. But I couldn't do anything with it & haven't been able to find it again. How do I get these photos??
    2. Also when I look at my contacts in icloud, they're old & include my husband's contacts. Also the calendar has obviously synced & shows current events, with correct days, but with the wrong times!! WTH??
    3. Since upgrading computers, when I tried to sync my phone with itunes, it came up that I had to erase my phone, because it is synced with another itunes library(that was on this computer, now no more!) So... been searching for answers today to no avail.
    I was able to 'transferred my purchases' from the phone to itunes, but not sync. & then when I plugged it in last time, to press sync & get the exact message to post on a help forum, it didn't give me the message!! No message for a basic sync, it just didn't work. But when I go into the 'tones' & 'music' tabs & click 'sync music' it comes up with 'Do you want to remove existing music...from iphone? Remove & Sync is the only option!!
    When I 'authorised' this computer it also said '5 of 5 allowed on the account'. As we have 3 computers & this one obviously has registered as 2(don't know where the 5th one comes in), I figure the next problem will be that we can't authorise the other computers at all!!
    So I presume answer to no.3 is in cancelling the accounts for the previous 'library' on this & other computers, but how do you do that??? Presume my husband will have the same problem on his computer, as that's also upgraded to Win7.

  • I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

    Hello,
    I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

    You're not confusing this with a shared Photo Stream...?
    Because the short answer is no, photos don't appear unless they were put there by someone with your Apple ID credentials. To rule out that possibility, change your Apple ID password by carefully following all these instructions:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
    If you decide to change your password, and you also want to change your Apple ID, I recommend you do not concurrently change your Apple ID until sufficient time has passed and you are confident the password change has been effected on all your iOS devices. 24 hours ought to be more than enough.
    It is not necessary to change your Apple ID unless it is an email address you no longer wish to use.

  • Can't get photos on to itunes

    somehow i can't get photo files to appear on the itunes library. i've tried changing the photo format but still doesn't work. can someone help??

    You will have to go to settings when your iPod is connected and then go to Pictures. Here you call up the folder where you have your pictures on the computer. Then after that you update your iPod again and the pictures should then transfer to your iPod.

    Hello pmarrone,
    You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
