How to download older photos from my photo stream?

I did not fully understand how icloud and photostream worked.  To make room on my phone for more pics I deleted pictures from my Camera Roll because I saw that they were in my photostream folder.  When I checked on my macbook for all the pictures, I realized that my photos were not being backed up because my husband's icloud account was signed in and not mine.  When I signed into icloud and started backing up pictures it only downloaded pictures from the last 30 days.  (only 300 or so and I have 1000 in my Photostream folder)  How do I get those older pictures from my Photostream folder on my iphone to download to my macbook?

Photo Stream is not a storage service, it's for syncing photos from one device to another.  In addition, the server only keeps up to 1000 images and for up to 30 days, after which they are deleted.
You should always sync photos to a computer for storage/archiving, not no icloud.  I'm afraid that unless you have copies on a computer, those photos are gone.

  • 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.

  • How To Download Older Version From App Store

    I bought Pages from the App Store to run on my MacBook in 2012 which is limited to Snow Leopard. After reformatiing and updating the MacBook, I went to the App Store to re-download Pages and was greeted with the message that the current version will not run on my MacBook, and requires Mavricks!
    So I thought if I bought and paid for an App through the App Store, that Apple was supposed to make the last version that supports my Mac available always. So how do I fix this? Is there some secret way to download the correct version of Pages from the App Store?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • How to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream?

    I have a photo stream shared album (with 120 pictures) on icloud.  This is shared from iPhone.  I opened the link on my mac/windows in the browser.  Now, how to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream?  I don't want to download each photo at a time.  There are 100s of photos to download.  I can't open one photo at a time and keep downloading them separately.  There should be a way to download all photos from a shared stream.  Please let me know how you are dealing with this?

    1.you need create a dba user in your database
    2.you can run the script as command
    eg. use PL/sql developer ->new command window->open script-> run.

    1 - have a bit of patience - 1 minute is not really a long time
    2 - since you provide absolutely no information only guesses can be made  -- the best way is PhotoStream - other ways including connecting your iPhone and syncing using iTune  or importing

    How long do shared photo stream albums stay in iCloud?

    I actually found the FAQ for Shared Photo Streams and the answer is:
    Do shared streams ever expire?
    No. Shared streams are removed from iCloud only if you delete the photo stream.

    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

  • I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original).  Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc.  However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded.  Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

    Hello there, Tamghosh.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Particularly:
    I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

    Hi,
    For file down load u have to use a UI element as "File download".
    u just create context attribute as setdownload_res and file data.
    setdownload_res as of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource" then bound it to the ui element "resource".
    file data as of type "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDInputStream"
    and set calcuclated as true and read only as true.
    then in doinit method u just write this code
    IWDAttributePointer attr = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("fileData");
    IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createResource(attr,null,WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setDownload_res(res);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(""+c);
    after this in the getter method u write this code
    IWDInputStream stream = null;
    try
    stream = WDResourceFactory.createInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("<pathof the file to be download>")));
    catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    return stream;
