How do I cancel an in progress upload to my photo stream?

I have a lot of photos automatically uploading to my photo stream, I want to cancel the operation but can't find any way of doing so, any ideas?
Thanks!

iPHoto preferences ==> iCloud - uncheck Automatic upload
quit iPhoto, reboot your Mac and Restart iPhoto

HT201317 Just got a 4S. We've taken 1,000 photos which are in the camera roll. Photo Stream has loaded the last half of the 477 pictures. Not sure what happened to the first 523 pictures. How do I request that these be uploaded again to Photo Stream?

I have a 4S and have taken 1,000 photos. For some reason only the last half of them, 477 pictures, loaded to Photo Stream. I think I turned off Photo Stream in attempting to set up iCloud. How do I re-load the first set of 523 photos again to Phot Stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
It is not very easy at all to add photos to photo stream from your camera roll on your phone, the only way I'm aware that this can be achieved is to take a screenshot of each photo. It would be much simpler to sync your photos to a computer and add them to photo stream from there.
Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation.

Not all the photos from my iPad are uploaded to My Photo Stream.

Does Photo Stream have some algorithm to recognize similar photos and upload only one of them?
I have like 700 photos in my iPad Photo Stream. But only half of them are uploaded to My Photo Stream folder on my PC. Why?
I noticed that similar photos are not uploaded. Maybe there is some algorithm?
How can I fix this?
I must add that photos aren't older than 30 days, and Photo Streams was on from the beggining.

Good morning
I can't create this issue on my devices but appears that others have had this problem - often during times of poor wifi reception it seems. I did find this solution of powering off and then they came through for this op.
Cheers

HT201317 How do I up load videos from my ipod to photo stream? The videos were shot before I added photo stream.

I am trying to up load videos that I have taken on my IPod to my photo stream. I need the videos to some how be uploaded automatically so I can get them to my PC. I have Windows 7 operating system. I cannot add the videos to the photo stream folder because I took them before I added photo stream to my IPod. I have already downloaded the icloud control panel 2.0 to my PC and have the settings set on both of the devices. I don't know if I can't upload them to photo stream or if I can use something else? Please help. My daughter takes lessons everyday and we have to be able to get them to my IPad, PC and other devices. Thank you.

Only photos can be uploaded to Photo Stream.
No videos.

How do you get your pictures to not go to photo stream

Is there a way to get your pictures you take or save to not go to both your camera roll and photo stream? I feel like it's taking up doubt the space that it doesn't need to be that I could also be using for something else.

Also:
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
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.

Difference between iCloud Photo Library and Upload to My Photo Stream?

What is the difference between the iCloud Photo Library and the Upload to My Photo Stream options in the iCloud settings on my iPhone / iPad? Is it that uploading to the iCloud Photo Library uploads the images to iCloud (for viewing via browser) and using the Photo Stream only syncs the images between iOS devices?
I've had an iPad for awhile but I just got my first iPhone and I'm trying to understand the sync behavior. It seems that with both options enabled (iCloud and Photo Stream), every single image, screenshot, picture downloaded from Twitter, etc is all getting lumped together in the All Photos album and then synced everywhere. I absolutely do not want this. Can I have just a Camera Roll folder that syncs between devices, and then downloads / screenshots / etc stay local to the device without syncing?
I'm coming from Windows Phone, which worked exactly how I just described. Pictures taken with the phone went to the Camera Roll and the Camera Roll synced to OneDrive, and then images downloaded via other apps, or screenshots, went to separate albums that did not sync (unless I configured those albums to sync). This way everything was logically separated, easy to find, and I had complete control over the syncing behavior. This is what I'm trying to replicate on my iPhone.
Oh, is it true that every image *has* to be in the All Photos albums? There's no way to move screenshots and downloads to separate albums so they don't get cluttered with pictures I take? Or can I enable a separate Camera Roll folder?

I realize no one is twisting my arm to use anything. But that doesn't stop me from being disappointed about iOS's photo management capabilities compared to what I was used to in Windows Phone.
I already have unlimited OneDrive storage per my Office 365 account so that's not an issue. I just assumed that iCloud would be a more elegant photo syncing solution since it's built into the OS so that was the path I wanted to pursue. However now that I have a better understanding of the iCloud solution, it's clear that I'll stick with the OneDrive app for iOS to automatically back up my photos there instead of iCloud.
Not trying to be snarky and I do appreciate the info and links provided - those definitely helped.

Upload pictures to Photo Stream

Hello. I want to give iCloud Photo Stream a try. Problem is, iPhoto is horrendous software and I just won't run it. What other way are there to upload pictures to Photo Stream?
I can send pictures automatically from iPhone, and Wiindows user get a nifty uploads folder. Ironically, however, Mac users are stuck with bulky and unreliable software to upload their pictures. Why, I ask you, are Windows users being rewarded for not being Mac users?
Is there a way to set up a Windows-like "Uploads" folder, or upload the files ising some programming tool? Thanks.

Here's one way:
1 - put the image files you want to upload to your Phone and then into PHoto Stream in a folder on your hard drive.
2 - connect your iPHone to your Mac and launch iTunes.
3 - in your iPhone section of iTunes click on the Photos button in the toolbar.
4 - select the checkbox Syhnc Photos from .
5 - in the resulting window navigate to the folder you've created, select it and use the Apply button.
6 - once in your iPhone select the photos uploaded and move to the Photo Stream.
Or learn how to use iPhoto properly and make the operation nearly automatic.

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

Hey guys i just wanna ask you if you know any way how to recover pics deleted from my camera rol and photo stream, i deleted accidentally without backing it up on icloud, any ideas how i can get it back

If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

HT6413 Why are my photos not uploaded to my photo stream on my PC?

Running Win7 on my PC. Photos taken on Ipad or Iphone 5 used to upload automatically. Updated to Iphone 6 and they no longer do so. Have checked all settings and they appear to be in order. Any reason they should not upload to the photo stream?

I found the problem. AS it turns out, when I created my iCloud account I eneded up creating a NEW ID. The process is a little bit confusing and it is apparently easy to get one ID on the iCloud on your iMac and another on your iPhone. This is what I had done. It was a simple matter of signing out of iCloud on the Mac and then signing back in wiht my original Apple ID (the one on the iPhone) once I signed backin, pictures starte appearing in the Photo Stream. Easypeasy!

The photos in camera roll are not uploading to my photo stream.

The photos in my camera roll on my iPhone are not uploading to my Photo Stream. Both devices are logged in to the same apple account and both are connected to wifi.

Is your iPhone properly charged? It will not update, if the battery is low, and will not upload, if the camera app is open. So make sure the camera is closed - double click the Home button and swipe the camera preview up to close the app.

Automatic upload feature in Photo Stream

I am confused with the 'Automatic Upload' feature in photo stream within iPhoto. Hopefully you can help.
The way I understand this feature is if I import a photo within iPhoto and the automatic upload feature is enabled, it will automatically put the imported photo into the photo stream such that it will be on all my ios devices. Now this where it gets confusing. In iPhoto I do not see the photo in my photostream event folder. I do see it in photo stream on ios devices)iphone and iPad). In iPhoto the photo is currently in the 'Import' folder. So where does the photo in the import go when I do another import. And...when photo stream d/l's pictures to monthstream folder, will there now be 2 copies of that same picture in iPhoto.
I hope this is clear and you understand what I am trying to decipher.

Thanks for answering.
Cause I have some photos want to do some post processing in ipad via some tools like snapspeed.
It happended to be the recently imported photos. So my work flow is to get the photo from photostream in ipad.
After finishing post processing, it automatically creates a new photo in photostream (which I love that).
And I can easily get the photo in my iMac via photo stream.
That's why I found the resolution changed, cause at first I even want to replace my original one.
So I think if I want preserver the resolution, maybe I can use your way.
Thanks agiain.

Why don't all the pictures I take on my phone upload to my photo stream?

Why don't the all of the pictures I take on my iPhone 5 upload to my photo stream?

There are few things you can check. Most of the Hotels use "splash" login page when you go online you have to accept their TOS. If you don't do that connection does not exist, even if you see wifi simbol. Verify that both devices are connected to wifi. Also you want to make sure that camera app of your iphone is turned off and phone is charged over 20 %.
Do simple test. When you on wifi take a new photo and open your photostream album on the same phone. If you see that photo show up in there in few min (takes 2 to 5 on fast connection) then you need to check your ipad and if it does not show there - check the charge and go online on ipad. Once you verify you can access Internet - see if photo shows up in photostream on the ipad. If you get problem in any step of that process- come back and we ll work througth the rest.
That test will allow to check if photostream works at all, if the problem is intermittent - like you described, when you on good wifi it should rectify itself(it has 30 days to do that), but you want to make sure that those pictures do get in photostream album of your iphone.

HT201317 My photos from my iphone won't upload to my photo stream on my mac.

I turned on iCloud on both devices and it will only upload pictures to my phone from my mac's photo stream, but when I take a picture on my phone, it wont upload to my Mac, even when I have WiFi. Please Help.

Have you left the camera app? Upload to photo stream should start, when you leave the camera app.
And when your iPhone is fully charged. The phone will not upload, if the battery has less than 20% left. Then the ipload willwait, unitl the phone is charged.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

Can I upload videos to Photo Stream

Can I upload videos to Photo Stream?

Photo Stream IS NOT a backup. It will only show the last 1000 photos taken on your iPhone. And no, you cannot "upload" video to photo stream.
If you need to backup, use iTunes. Your videos will not be backed up, but they will be synched.
