How to add photos to photo stream

Can anyone help?
I have lots of photos saved on my camera roll I know need to back my phone up and add them to my iCloud photo stream but I can't seem to do this as they are not new photos?

I got it… Select all photos from an album, then ‘share’ to iCloud… create a ‘Stream Name’ and email me… Is this the best way? I think it’s great… I didn’t get about the iTunes sync, I’m afraid, I already lost photos in that way…
thanks

    Stay forever and don't count towards your iCloud storage use.

  • How to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

    Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

    Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

  • Can I add photo stream albums to SkyDrive

    Can I add photo stream albums to my SkyDrive albums?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos in the camera roll are those which (in most cases) are taken on the device, the photostream album contains photos which have been synced from photostream in the cloud, which can include photos from your camera roll as well as from other devices using photostream. Photostream photos can be lower resolution than the same photos in the camera roll.
    Photos in photostream can be edited and saved to other albums.

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

  • 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.

  • How to Manage Photo Stream & Apple TV

    Hi! I have apple TV, and I love that I can use pics from Photo stream as a screen saver. I just can't figure out how to make Apple TV draw the pics from the photo stream folder on my computer instead of the photo stream folder on my iphone. Any help is appreciated!

    Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?
    IOS 7 supports writing of persons with different AppleIDs to the same  shared photo stream.
    And I expect that iPhoto and Aperture will soon support this too.
    From the IOS ipad user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.

  • How to manage photo stream from 2 iCloud accounts in Aperture 3

    For the time being, my wife and I used to share the same iCloud account,
    This was very convenient to share the family's calendar, contacts, and photos!
    But from iOS 7, the sharing of Apple ID for the family looks compromised, iMessage and FaceTime are using common IDs on all devices connected with the same account...
    I'm now considering creating an account for each of us and could find a solution for calendar, contacts, BUT not for photos!

  • Simple question .... how to add photos to the body of my EMAILS -Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird

    Simple question - How do I add photos to the body of my emails . But instead of the answer - Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question in anyway. Why does it have to be so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question?
    Thunderbird is acting much like Microsoft, the every reason I dumping MS Live Mail.

    First of all, much help for Thunderbird refers to menus which may not be visible. It would help you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html
    So, open a write window. Enable its menu and toolbar(s).
    Now do you see an "Insert" option?
    If not, you may be set to compose in plain text, which does not support embedded images.
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select account}|Composition & Addressing''' and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" is ticked. If it wasn't already ticked, go back to composing a message. Any better now?
    Once you have HTML composition mode going, you can use '''Insert|Image''' or various permutations of copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop into your message body.

  • How to sync photo stream on ipad

    How do I sync my photo stream on ipad

    What do you mean sync your Photo Stream?
    Photo Stream only works after you enable it on all of your devices. After you turn Photo Stream on, any photos that you take with one of your iDevices will sync to your other iDevices.
    If you want to import the Photo Stream Photos to your computer (you don't sync the photos using iTunes) then have a look at this.

    That should do the trick.
    Hope it works for you too.

  • How to recover photo stream pictures?

    My photo stream album disappeared.  I think it happened when I enabled the "iCloud Photo Library (beta)".  I thought it was suppose to upload the photo stream album to iCloud but instead it just deleted it without ever asking me if I wanted them to be deleted.  Does anyone know what happened? Or how to recover them?  They do not show up in "recently deleted album" because I never actually deleted them
    Ive tried 3rd party software but no luck.  Since half of the pics in the photo stream album were not in the regular pictures album and not on the hard drive they cannot be found.  When I went to the iCloud website there were only 97 pictures and not the 1000 pics that were originally in the photo stream album.
    My phone has never been backed up to iTunes so that is no help
    If these pictures are not on my phone or iCloud, where can they be and is it possible to get them back?

  • How to stop photo stream uploading/downloading in the background

    Does anyone know how to stop the iphoto upload/download as my broadband gets killed everytime I add photos to my mac.
    Let me explain that I have a 6-8 MB down link but my uplink is only 0.2Mb really slow.  So when I quit iphoto I can't play any online games for ages as Photostream is taking up my complete band width.  Mainly due to the fact that it is also downloading the photos to my iPad and my wifes iPhone I just imported the photos off those two devices but photostream wants to put a second copy on the device. argh
    please give me better control I want to upload the photos (shared library) to photostream but only when the iPhoto app is open so I have the choice of when my bandwidth is used. either that or make the upload only happen with the device is switch off / not used so if I open a network game the bandwidth is freed until the game is closed.
    thanks
