How do I get photo stream to download to my PC computer thru Icloud?

I just set up Icloud on my PC laptop and am trying to download my photo's from my IPAD.  I don't seem to get a photo icon when I open the cloud on the PC.
How do I activate that, yes I have gone to settings and turned on photo stream, but I don't see anything happening.

  • 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.

  • How do I get Photo Stream to only import photos from my phone and not push photos to my phone.

    Hi
    Just purchased an Imac (first time mac user) and imported all my photos from my PC.  I have been using photo stream on my phone and ipad and like it.  The problem is, as far as I can tell, that I have added thousands of photos to the Imac and it now consider those to be new additions.  It is sharing those photos to my phone and Ipad and filling both up very quickly.  Is there a way that I can only stream photos from the phone to Iphoto on my imac and not from the imac to the phone?  I realize that in 30 days, this should correct itself, but for the time being it is a huge hassle.  Im sure there is some setting in iphoto that will alleviate my problem

    If you have a mac....
    launch iPhoto
    click the word "iPhoto" beside the apple, and select "preferences / photo stream"
    what synces, is listed here
    uncheck what you desire, and simply close iPhoto.  It will save the changes
    Also......
    Click the apple / system prefences / iCloud - if you wish to stop "photo stream" completely, you can uncheck it here.

  • HT1349 how do i get photos from my iphone to my windows computer

    I can not seem to get the photos from my iphone 4S to transfer to my windows computer.  photostream is total crap and will not work. 28 photos of 300 were transfered and then it stopped working.  Need help.  Thanks,

    You can transfer photos from camera roll using usb as outlined in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are trying to transfer photos from Photo Stream or Photo Library on your phone, you will need to use an app like PhotoSync to do this.  (PhotoSync will transfer all of the photos on your phone to your computer using wi-fi.)

  • TS4425 How can I get Photo Stream to show on my Apple TV?

    The iCloud terms and conditions do not load when I open iCloud on my PC. I have version 2.1.1 and both my iPad and iPhone are still on iOS 5 (neither of which I want to update to iOS 6).

    With the app "Agent-Shot".
    But there is no Geotag ;-(

  • Don't see photos from icloud.  Replaced broken 4s w/new phone.  Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage.  How do I use this backup?

    Please help.  Replaced broken phone w/new 4s.  I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store.  Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there.  Now they're not.  I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up.  I NEED those pictures and videos.  They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently.  Please I need them back.  I feel like I've lost her all over again.  Please someone help.  I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com.  Please someone help me get those pictures back.  They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

    If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below.  This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library.  This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs.  As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores.  If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
    Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
    Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
    On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
    Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
    Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
    Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
    Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone.  If prompted to back up again, decline.
    Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
    Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
    Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
    Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

  • How do I get photos OFF my ipod onto a new computer?

    I can see the photos on the iPod.
    I've tried putting it in dick mode but the photo files don't show up. All my other files seem to be there.
    Putting new photos on the ipod is easy. Getting them off and onto a new computer doesn't seem like it can be done.
    Any ideas?

    I don't have the original pictures because I don't have the original computer. I can't re-put them on the ipod. We're talking 4000 pictures or so.
    Right now I have Image Recall looking at the ipod. It's found 37 pictures so far. I'm hoping it will be able to find the rest. I'm not hopeful.
