Cannot get photo stream to work on MAC, it does work on iPhone and pad.  All are turned on and settings correct

I have a new MAC desktop 10.9 OSX Since I purchased I have not get photo stream to work, it is correctly on i believe.  I have the latest iphone, and an older i pad and they are streaming my pics, Help?

Hello, 9914. 
Thank you for the question.  If the Apple ID used for your iOS devices matches what is being used on the computer, try disabling Photo Stream and enabling it again.  Next, try the steps in the article below. 
I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream will not appear in iPhoto or Aperture. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection on your Mac.
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that the Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import checkboxes are selected.

  • TS3989 iCloud photo stream not working between iPhone and iPad

    The photo stream from my iPhone is not streaming via iCloud to my iPad photos. Both have the correct settings:  iCloud enabled and turned on, and within iPloud setting both have photo stream turned on.  I have purchased additional iCloud space and that's certainly not the problem.
    IPhone 4S: IOS 6.1.3
    IPad: IOS 5.1
    I would appreciate any help.

    Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

  • HT4906 How can I get Photo Stream to work in iPhoto on my iMac?

    Photo Stream folder acts as if it has never been used. Yellow box shows directions on how to get started. Even though I have had it working successfully in the past, I tried each of the methods. No luck.
    I have gone through the process of verifying that photo stream is turned on properly on all devices (iPhone 5, iPad (original), and iMac (2011). If I download from my camera, all pictures show up on iPhone and iPad, but not in Photo Stream folder on iMac iPhoto. The date after the title "Photo Stream" shows December 5, 2011. (That's probably when I started using this iMac).

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Then check the iPhoto/Photo Stream preference pane to make sure the necessary checkboxes are checked.

  • Suddenly I cannot get photos from iPad onto my Mac.

    From the beginning, I simply connected the iPad2 to my Mac with the USB, and all photos were uploaded onto my Mac. I've followed all the directions to get updates for both Mac and iPad2. Now none of my new photos upload onto the Mac. Can you help?

    I'm not sure how you were importing the photos on your Mac but the two ways that I know of are with iPhoto and Image Capture.
    Open iPhoto and go to Preferences>General>Connecting Camera Opens - and you can select iPhoto or Image Capture.
    Connect your iPad to your Mac and Open Image Capture. Click on devices and then at the bottom of the left side you can select - Connecting this iPad Opens - and choose the app of your choice from there. These are copied and pasted from Help in the two applications.
    When you connect the iPad now, one of the chosen applications will open and let you import the images.
    To import photos from iPad:
    Connect your iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB cable that came with your iPad.If iPhoto wasn’t already open, it opens for you (unless you changed this preference in iPhoto or your iPad is locked).After your iPad is connected and turned on, iPhoto opens in import view and your iPad appears in the Source list.
    By default, iPhoto divides photos into separate Events during the import process.You can optionally enter a description in the Event Name field.If you don’t want iPhoto to automatically create events, deselect the Split Events checkbox at the bottom of the window.If you want to change the time frame used to sort your photos into Events, you can change it in iPhoto preferences.
    If you don’t want to see photos that you’ve already imported into iPhoto, select the Hide Photos Already Imported checkbox at the bottom of the window.
    Do one of the following:
    To import all the photos shown in the iPhoto window, click Import All.
    To import a selection of photos, press the Command key while clicking photo thumbnails, or drag to select a group of photos, and then click Import Selected.
    To cancel photo transfer at any time during your import, click Stop Import. Then, in the dialog that appears, choose to continue importing the photos, keep the photos that have been imported and stop importing the remaining photos, or delete the photos that have been imported.
    After the import process is finished, drag the device icon to the iPhoto Trash, and then disconnect your iPad from your computer by unplugging the Dock Connector to USB cable.Important:  Before you disconnect your iPad, wait until all photos have been imported into iPhoto (or until you click Stop Import).
    This is from Image Capture. I'm assuming you used Image Capture.
    Transferring items automatically
    You can automatically transfer items from your camera to your computer whenever you connect the camera to your computer.
    To transfer items whenever you connect your camera:
    Connect your camera to your computer, and turn the camera on.
    Select the camera in the Devices list at the left of the Image Capture window.
    From the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu, choose AutoImporter.If you don’t see that pop-up menu, click the “Show device settings” button in the lower-left corner.
    The next time you connect your camera, Image Capture transfers images from the camera to the AutoImporter folder in your Pictures folder (in your home folder).

  • Cannot get photo stream on iCloud via iPad (viewing on Windows PC)

    Here's the problem. I have activated Photo Stream on my iPad/iCloud service.  When I sign into iCloud on my Windows PC, I do not see a Photo Stream icon.  I do not know where my photos are.  There is no where on iCloud to go find them (I just see icons for mail, calendar, etc.). 
    Also, We have one home PC (windows).  My husband has an iPhone, I have an iPad.  He set up Photo Stream and iCloud on his iPhone and he was able to locate his photos.  He doesn't recall where they went on our PC, but he did a search for the folder and then moved the folder to c:\users\owner\My Pictures\My Photo Stream.
    What I'm thinking is that he has taken up the logical default location for the Photostream photos with his iPhone and now I'm trying to locate my Photo Stream photos that came from my iPad. 
    I 'thought' that I would just be able to sign into iCloud and then see all my photos and I could choose to download, etc.  But that doesn't seem to be the way it works.  Any advice?
    Thanks

    You have to download the iCloud Control Panel on PC

  • Photo Stream not Working w/ipad2 and iphone4S

    Photostream has been working fine and now I am not getting photos taken with my iphone to transfer to my ipad photstream.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    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.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    Go into your iCloud setting on your iPhone. Make your PhotoStream is "on" there as well. The photos won't transfer unless you have it enable led on iCloud.

    Once you select your iPad look in the right window and find the Photos tab. Select the album or albums you want copied from iPhoto on your Mac Pro to your iPad. Then click on Apply.
