How to download old Photo Stream to my PC?

Hi. How can I download old photos from Photo Stream to my PC? I have a new laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with iCloud Control Panel 2.0.2.187. New pictures taken today download automatically and correctly to My Photo Stream folder (good). But old pictures from before the new laptop aren't downloaded (not good) even though I see 1,000 pictures in the Photo Stream on my iPhone. My old laptop had all the pictures in the My Photo Stream folder but that laptop was stolen so I'm trying to recover those pictures. Thanks.

I found a hack. Go in the My Photo Stream Album in the iPhone. Click Edit. Select the photos. Click Share to open the menu of options. Here I tried both options: Copy and Save to Camera Roll; I don't know which option is the one that actually worked. Then I went to the Camera Roll Album in my iPhone and the iPhone started copying photos from Photo Stream to the Camera Roll Album. I had to do this back and forth between Copy/Save and PhotoStream/CameraRoll a couple of times until the copying picked up; I don't know what are the distilled steps. Then I connected my iPhone to the laptop and saved the files as usual. I had to do this tedious process in chunks of hundreds as the iPhone was unable to get the 1,000 photos at once. That's how I was able to download all my photos from Photo Stream. Also, Photo Stream doesn't seem to remember the original filenames so the images are re-numbered.

Workaround--How I put old photo stream on new device

So I bought a new iPhone and turned on PhotoStream and was pretty upset that only the last 30 days worth of photo stream photos made it back to my device... I did a lot of reading and found out that nothing was set-up wrong, it was just the way photo stream works.
Here's the skinny, for any device only the last 30 days worth of photo stream will be transfered to said device upon activation of PhotoStream--for those of us that want to have their old photo stream photo's on their new device there is a work around.
First, open iPhoto and select "iCloud" from the menu bar on the left, this will show you your photo stream. What was curious to me was that my iPhoto on my Mac Mini had 376 photos, as did my trusty old iPad, but not my brand new iPhone 5S, it only had 100 photos... This is actually how PhotoStream works though.
So to fix the disparity, and to keep from KEEPING duplicates, you need to go back to the first photo in your PhotoStream on your computer, for our purposes we'll call this photo 1 in your stream, and then highlight through the latest photo that is NOT on your new device, for me this was photo 276.
Next set-up a new folder on your desktop, and copy the missing photo's to the new folder.
Now, wait for them to copy to the desktop folder, this should take a few minutes,,,
Next, go back to iPhoto and delete the selected photos from your photo stream, a warning comes up and says this action cannot be undone, hit ok.
Then select all of the photos from the new folder, and drag them back to iPhoto, if it asks you about duplicates, hit import.
Now, wait while your photo stream re-builds ( this will likely only work for 1,000 photos or less )
Once the photo stream is correct across your devices, for me it was my Mac Mini, my iPad and my iPhone, go back to iPhoto and select the "Last Import" tab from the menu bar on the left, select all of the photos (they are dupicates) and delete them from there.
You will be left without duplicates and a rebuilt photo stream across your devices.

I have a 3g iPhone and I need to know how to delete old photos. Need to free up space and there is no clear way to delete these photos!! Can someone please let me know how to get rid of these pictures!!!! Help!!!

There are a number of ways to delete pictures from the Camera Roll. One is to open Camera Roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button (top right), tap all the pictures you want to delete, tap the Delete button ant the bottom. Photo Library pictures are deleted by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, followed by syncing your phone.

Downloading from photo stream not limited to wifi

Downloading from photo stream seemed to me to be very active while I was not on a wifi connection. Due to other people tossing a ton of photos in their shared streams I burned a ton of data and then had to turn off the phone when I realized what was going on.
Have others experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?
I loved the addition of shared streams but this is probably a feature killer for me.

1. Yes. It's 30 days or 1k pics, whichever comes first.
2. I'm not sure about your phone or iPad. I would check on the forum for one of those devices or here

3. No it doesn't do video.

As I understand it, you need to wait until the iCloud Photo app is launched next year. I got round it a little by sharing some of my albums, but not to anybody in particular. I can see these shared folders on my iPhone 5s, but they still don't show in iCloud.com>Photos.

Photos in camera roll do not download to photo stream

photos in camera roll do not always download to photo stream on iphone?

Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
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: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
