Does photo stream duplicate pictures?

i just sync my iphone 5 with itunes and noticed that the summary tab shows i have 1400 pictures while in my iphone i see 700 in the folder 'camera roll' and 700 in the folder 'my photo stream'- these are the same ones in my camera roll folder... how can i fix that? please help or educate me in iphone logic! thanks

Do you have HDR turned on on your iPhone camera? And if you do, is it keeping the original JPG? If it is, it will save two versions of each photo.
Do you have HDR turned on:
Go to Camera App
Tap Options on screen
See if HDR is turned on.
Turn HDR off.
Are you saving the JPG:
Settings > Photos
Turn off Keep Normal Photo

  • Why does photo stream duplicate my photos

    All my photos from my iphone are getting re-imported into iPhoto by photo stream. I turned it off, but I now have hundreds of duplicates. Apparently the only solutions to remove the duplicates are to do it by hand or purchase 3rd party software. I hate Photo Stream...

  • Why does photo stream duplicate photos on iOS?

    Until Yosemite comes out it seems that we're kind of stuck trying to figure out an "easy" way to have photos display on multiple devices. I've just started messing with iCloud & the photos and when I turn on photo stream it duplicates them into it's own folder. This just seems to be a massive headache and I don't want ALL my photos to sync but I also don't want to have to go through to make individual streams for everything I want to sync/share
    Anyone have a solution to this or do we just sit tight and hope they fixed this in iOS8?
    Seems like a big oversight/usability thing (much like having folders in photos be useless because you still have the master folder that everything stays in.)

    The photos that appear duplicated are actually there from two separate locations:
    1.  Photo Stream
    2.  From your Mac, an iPhoto event with a name such as "Aug 2014 Photo Stream"
    You can remove the photo from one of these sources on your Mac, and then you won't see what appear to be the duplication.

  • Where does photo stream place the pictures on my mac?

    In aperture, when I use photostream, I see a project called Photo Stream and it is adding the pictures to the project after I take them on my phone. All of my other pictures, I can click on them to select show in finder to see the master but where does photo stream place the master pictures?
    thanks

    My problem is not fixed, but it has gone away??? I tried to enable Photo Stream in iPhoto this evening and it worked first time. WT...

  • HT201077 Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

  • Does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    Only if you have iPhoto setup to automatically import the Photo Stream photos.
    Otherwise they are just on the iCloud server and will be removed after 30 days.

  • Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

    Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
    1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
    2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
    3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
    4.)  Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
    5.)  Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
    This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
    I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
    I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
    6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
    7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
    8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
    Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

    What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    In regards to backing up Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
    Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
    "No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
    However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
    To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
    1.)  It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
    2.)  Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
    3.)  Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos.  (Tested it personally)
    4.)  Photo Stream has a limit according to:  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
              Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
    5.)  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083  (As shown above)
    6.)  To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website.  Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
    7.)  You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities.  For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
    8.)  On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
    "You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails"
    Hope some of this information helps!

  • Does photo stream take up space on my iPod?

    does photo stream take up space on my iPod?

    They may if you delete the photos from your Camera Roll album but leave them in your PhotosStream album.
    Otherwise not. There is only one copy of the photos on the iPod but you can access it either from your Camera Roll or PhotoStream albums.

  • Does Photo Stream copy onto your iPad?

    Hi - My 32GB iPad mini is havind trouble with storage and It says I have 1,053 photos on it, this could be why I do not have much space left!
    However in my camera roll I do not have this many photos, does Photo stream copy onto it?
    Thanks
    Tom

    I don't use Photo Stream, but I think that they are copied onto your iPad - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    You should be able to confirm by going into Airplane mode (Settings > Airplane Mode 'on') and seeing if you can still view those photos whilst the iPad is offline

  • Does Photo Stream support GIFs?

    I'm trying to add a GIF image to my photo stream by putting it in the Uploads folder on my PC, but it won't come up on my iPod Touch. Does photo stream even support GIFs, and if so, any guesses to why it might not be working? It has worked with JPGs before.

    Have you looked at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • HT4906 What does Photo Stream Do?

    I'm just upgrading to Mountain Lion and not familiar with all the iCloud services. What does Photo Stream do? Can you limit the photos that go to iCloud storage? Can you allow some pics to be seen by others, but not all? etc.

    There is no iCloud storage. Photostream is just a way of importing from one device to many. It never contains more than 1k photos or photos for more than 30 days - which ever limit is reached first.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    You don't have to use Photostream. It's not a method of sharing with others.

  • Anyone else seeing photo stream duplicate files?

    I have numerous, maybe all, of the photos in my photo stream are duplicated.  One file name is upper case, then duplicated in lower case.  I revealed the photos in Finder, and you can see the duplicate photo example below.  On file is IMG_1072.JPG and the other is img_1072.jpg.  The timestamp of the files are hours apart.
    Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

    You can see from the info screen shot below that one file is 2.2 MB and the other is 4.1 MB.   I did a web search for photo stream duplicate issues, and did not find one thread regarding this!  I don't know what is causing the duplicates yet, but I have my suspicions.  Here are three things that have changed recently which may be related to the problem:
    1. I installed Aperture, which shares the same library as iPhoto. 
    2. I recently began sharing my photo stream, but I'm not sure if the dups occurred before or after that.
    3. I created an Image Capture plugin which copies image files from my iPhone to a directory, changes file names to lower case, uses ImageMagick to add a small date stamp, etc.  But I haven't even run this workflow on the two files listed below yet.
    So, I'm still investigating...

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • How quickly does photo stream sync for you?

    how quickly does photo stream sync for you?

    I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.

  • Does photo stream keep my pictures forever?

    My wife's iPhone is out of space. She has 8 gb of pictures and videos. She is signed up for extra back up storage online with apple.
    If we delete photos and videos from iPhone, will they still be retained in the cloud? If not, can we make them be retained in cloud or photo stream forever?

    The only photo stream photos that stay in iCloud indefinitely are photos added to a shared stream (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  (Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.)  The only issue with this is that they will be a lower resolution than the originals in your camera roll (3.1-3.5 megapixels). 
    Also, adding them to photo stream or a shared stream doesn't save any room on your phone because a copy will still be on your phone.  If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud.
    If you want to store your photo on the internet and still have access to them to view from your phone, use a service that is designed for that such as Flikr, Smugmug, etc.  You can also consider an alternative cloud service such as Dropbox.
    Whatever you do, you should back them up on your computer by importing them from the camera roll with your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
