How do I force iPhone to store pics in Photo Stream instead of  Cameral Rolld

Sometimes the pictures are stored in Cameral Roll and sometimes Photo Stream. But with Camera Roll the photos do not automatically load into iPhoto.

Rudegar - I appreciate your test - it makes sense that it is working for you and many others, otherwise there would be a lot more reports like mine. Still, a few people are having this issue, so it is a peculiarity that we share, possibly in our settings.
I have the slider on for iMessage, Send as SMS, MMS & Group.
OI also have the "Group Text" app on my phone which has an option for sending texts to email addresses. I had that off. As a test, I turned the option on and sent a txt from imessage to my email with no success.
I also tried to send a text to email from in side Group Text with no success. .
Copy and paste is the work around but requires several steps and shouldn't be necessary.

    How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

    Syncing notes with iCloud requires it have the correct email address linked, as notes get synced with an email address.
    Now, assuming that you have successfully set that up, though most people don't first time around, then if you deleted the note from the phone, it will have deleted from iCloud as well.
    Meaning, unless you have that note located in a backup in iTunes or iCloud you won't be able to get it back.
    You can restore the iTunes backup simply by connecting to itunes and hitting restore backup. Only thing is, any info that changed since the backup was made will be lost. (i.e. if your backup is a month old, your phone will look like it did a month ago, and only have that info on it.)
    Or, you can restore from iCloud, which requires erasing all content and settings, then selecting that backup. SO, you can see the predicament.

    Photostream is not a substitute for importing your photos to your computer.

  • Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (Impossible?)

    Please can someone give me a straight forward answer to this question? I have read through the other similar forum questions and I still don't feel that I have found a definitive answer / solution.
    Is it possible to do the following please:
    Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (i.e. three devices that all have access to and update the Photo Stream as photographs are taken)
    If so, how?
    If not, am I really the only person that wants to do this?
    Thanks (in anticipation).

    Create a free email account at gmail, yahoo, outlook.com, or one of the other email services and use that to create the second Apple ID.
    Also, create separate user accounts on your computer for each of you to avoid unintentionally mixing up your data.

    If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
    It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac.  Haven't found a commonality yet.

  • HT201317 Some photos go to Photo Stream and some go to Camera Roll.  How to fix this so that all go to Photo Stream when I take pics?

    Sometimes when I take pics on my iPhone 4s the some of the pics go to the Photo Stream while others go to the Camera Roll.  Why do they not all go to the camera roll?  How to fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
    Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
    If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
    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
    If the problem persists:
    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.

  • Iphone 4s Storage is full, Photo Stream is over full, cannot psynch with Itunes how do I fix this! Completely shutdown, apps on phone won't run correctly. HELP!!!!

    My Iphone 4S storage is full! Phone is not functioning correctly due to full storage.  Tried to backup and psych with Itunes, Back up worked (supposedly) but
    Itunes cannot psych due to being over capacity. Can't find how to edit files and delete stuff. 

    shut down "photo stream" , delete unused apps. export your photos from iPhone to PC and then delete all of your photos. But if you want to keep the photos on phone, maybe you will try some methods to compress the photo size in order to free up more storage.

  • How do I get photos from my iPhone to my computer through Photo Stream that are older than 30 days?

    I set up iCloud on my Windows computer a few months after I got my iPhone.  I set up iCloud and Photo Streaming on my iPhone when I got it, so when I eventually set up iCloud on my computer it would only download the last 30 days of photos to my computer. Is there any way to get the older pictures on my phone to my computer though the iCloud?

    Photos are only stored in iCloud for 30 days. If they are still in the camera roll on your phone, you can extract them as you would photos from any digital camera. If you deleted them from the camera roll and they have rolled off of iCloud Photo Stream, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • If I 'Buy More Storage,' can I have more pics in Photo Stream?

    Right now, I have all of my pics and videos that are in my iPhoto (7000+) in my MobileMe Gallery so I can access them on my iPhone.  Photo Stream says it can only store 1000 pics but If I buy more storage, will I be able to store all 7000+ pics and videos in Photo Stream?
    I have also noticed my videos arn't showing up in Photo Stream so I'm assuming it only 'Streams' photos?
    If Photo Stream will always stay at 1000 pics no matter how much extra space I buy, does iCloud have a Gallery feature like MobileMe has and I'm just not seeing it?
    TL;DR - How do I store more than 1000 photos in iCloud/Photo Stream so I can access from my iPhone?

    From what I read after clicking the link to the macword article above, photo stream will only allow an iOS device to view 1000 photos.  It didn't touch on photo stream after more storage space is purchased but If you remember where you got your info from, that would help out. 
    If you're not talking about photo stream, where would I store the photos in iCloud that my iOS device can access them?

  • Duplicate Pics using Photo Stream

    How can one tell if a pic has already moved/copied from photo stream to regular library?
    I have read articles on managing photo stream.  My understanding is that if I have it turned on on all of my devices, then take a pic with iPad for example, that pic will appear on photo stream portion of each of those devices for thirty day via iCloud. If I don't want to lose it, I must move/copy it to my regular iphoto library.
    I am finding multiple copies of the same pic in my iMac iPhoto Library under "Photos".  When I scroll though the past thirty days' photos, I have up to three pics of the same theme but  each with different image numbers.  I suspect this duplication is occuring either if I sync iPad and iPhone or because I transfer a photo more than once  from photo stream to regular library (so that it will not disappear after 30 days).
    I'm losing control of my library's size and need to understand this better. Does anyone have a suggestion?
