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.

I have, just now, about 9 GBs of stuff on my 2G 16 GB and I'd say 8 minutes but I think it's less than that.
I'm constantly switching play lists and changing movies and TV shows as well as pod casts (I won't miss Rachel Maddows if I can help it.) so sync gets a work out.
It's true I've only got 3 apps so if you've got pages that might make a sync longer but not that much longer!
Something isn't working right with your sync.

How long does it usually take for you to fully charge your iPad 2?

My iPad takes forever to reach a full 100%. The fast charge cycle or whatever it is called only takes about 2-3 hours and it reaches 80% quickly. From 80% to 100% is a crawl and it can sometimes take 4 very long hours!
Anybody else facing such issues? Any fixes? I usually let my iPad 2 run out of battery or reach 5% levels before putting it to charge. Is this why it is happening? I know people advise to recharge when the battery reaches 30% levels but then what is the point of never using 30% of your battery's capacity???
Any thoughts, anyone?

Directly from Apple: https://www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/
Your Apple lithium-ion battery uses fast charging to quickly reach 80% of its capacity, then switches to slower trickle charging. The amount of time it takes to reach that first 80% will vary depending on your settings and which device you’re charging. This combined process not only lets you get out and about sooner, it also extends the lifespan of your battery.

How quickly does the basic iMacMini connect to a Sling Media account and then handle streamed Sling Media content? Is it possible to test this at an Apple store?

How quickly does the basic 1.4GHz/4GB/500GB iMacMini load Sling Media New Watch application and connect to one's account? Is this iMac fast enough to stream a video stream of approx. 2MB bandwidth without buffering (assuming an adequate internet connection) ? Is it possible to test this on a display model at an Apple store in the UK?
Thanks for your assistance

You said " 1.4GHz/4GB/500GB iMacMini"
There is not such thin. There is the 1.4 GHz.4G/500GB Mac Min desktop computer.
iMac computers are ingratiated computers that includes the display.

How long does it normally take for all of your music to load on the new computer when you are home sharing?

I am trying to load my music on my sisters computer. How long does it normally take for the first time to download? Her computer has been "Checking for new purchases," for about an hour now.

10 hours does not seem right at all. Should take several minutes at best. The entire OS installation is under an hour. Post your issue in the FCS forum area here:

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!

TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

Ok so that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I have over 900 photos in photo stream on my I Phone 4S that go back for the last year. However my I Pad 2 seems to delete them after 30 days. I also set up the new version of I Photo on my fiancee's I Mac and the 900 photos haven't synced wtih that either. It's really strange. I'm curious as to how to fix this issue.

How to open Photo Stream in Windows

I took a bunch of pictures and video on my iPhone 3Gs (5.0) and don't know how to open Photo Stream on my PC (Win 7). I can see a folder in my pictures library, but I can open the ithmb files. Thank You.

That would be a question for the iCloud forum - iPhoto does not run on a PC

IPod photo stream sync with iPhoto

Hi,
I just synced my iPod photo stream to iPhoto on my laptop, but now I've decided I don't want to have my iPod photos on my laptop, is there a way of reversing this sync??
Thanks

Hi Ruby93,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you no longer want to see your Photo Stream photos on your Apple computer. The attached article explains how to turn on Photo Stream. Where the article explains how to enable Photo Stream, you would do the opposite by unchecking the box.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
Mac:
Go to Apple () > System Preferences > iCloud.
Select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream).
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is selected.
Open the app that you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on in that app. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
Have a great day,
Joe

Does photo stream work?

Does it effectively push all the photos you take or import to all your Macs and iPad?
I have 2 Macs and iPad, but one of the Macs is not up-to-date with all my pics. Will photo stream automatically sync that Mac with the other Mac and iPad which are up-to-date or will I have to import the missing pics to that Mac some other way?
I have been reluctant to buy this product because of all the negative reviews.

http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
It streams all of the photos you take - it does not stream the ones you import or ones taken prior to adding Photo Stream

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.

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.

Photo Stream - enabled for my iPad, but I can't click on the Photo Stream option on my Mac (which has iPhoto 9) Why is that?
