How to view my own iCloud photos on the iPhone

I have taken lots of photos (and videos) directly from my iPhone (6.0 with 8.1.1) and now I am unable to see them. They all exist in both iPhoto on my mac and iCloud Photos - I can see them and play the videos.
On my iPhone it shows a placement of my photo and then when i click on the photo itself, it show an icon at the lower right that resembles a download button. However it never goes past the 25% mark.....even after several hours.
I have 2 screen shots attached. Does any one have any suggestions on how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance!
Melissa

Greetings anandhi108,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Photos app on your iPhone. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

How do I retrieve my iCloud photos back to iPhone 5?

I turned on my iCloud this past June 19th, so I can free up space for my photos/videos on my iPhone 5 16 gigabyte. I backed up my iPhone on that night and woke up the next morning to see iCloud space at 1.4 out of 5 gigabyte available, meaning my photos/videos were all backed up to the iCloud. Next thing I did was, I deleted all of the photos/videos in the camera roll on my iPhone to free up space. It was successful. I kept checking my iCloud to make sure it wasn't disappearing all of my photos/videos as I don't really trust it. Well, 2 days later, I now have 4.8 gigabyte free left, meaning I only have 200 megabytes of photos/videos. Apple must have deleted my iCloud data? Or is it because I deleted all of the photos on the camera roll, which iCloud checks and then backs it up again?
I restored my iPhone twice to get the earlier backup (I read that it gets up to 3 backups). The oldest one was the first one I've backed up, I tried doing it and I still got a few photos. It still says 4.8 out of 5 gigabyte free space.
It doesn't make sense having iCloud if I want to free up space. I should have stayed with Amazon Cloud, used to have it stored there for awhile until I decided to try iCloud.

IT's because you deleted the photos from your device. The iCloud backup is taken from the current state of you device.

How do I permanently delete a photo off the iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered?

I want to permanently delete a photo from an iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered? How can I do this?

You can perform an erase all contents and settings direct on the iPhone which is a secure erase of everything except iOS and the included apps and not restore your iPhone from the backup. Start as new with no existing data or settings whatsover that is currently available on the iPhone.
If this photo has been deleted from the Camera Roll, when updating the iPhone's backup that deleted photo will not be included.

How can I see what iCloud Photos is uploading right now?

I selected a large number of photos (and videos) across many different photo albums be uploaded by iPhoto (9.5.X) from my rMBP 15 (OS X 10.9.4) to several different streams (named by year 2003, 2004, 2005 ...). The number of photos would have been around 5000 and the videos would have been less than 50.
My problem is that the iCloud Photos component (the name of the component within the activity monitor) is perpetually uploading content but nothing is showing up within any of my devices subscribed to those streams - yet the network tab on activity monitor is showing 1-2 GB of data uploaded each day.
The first few streams contained most of the photos from the year (maybe 80%) but by the time it got to 2006 and 2007 it just shows 1 or 2 photos and nothing else.
I have a reasonable network connection 1Mb/s upstream and 20 Mb/s down and I have left the machine running 24x7 for many days at a time - all the time with activity monitor registering a large total network upload but nothing is showing within my streams on any of my devices including the rMBP that I sent the files from.
I have given up in my desire to upload the photos - I just want iPhoto to stop attempting to upload files as it is consuming all my upstream bandwidth and preventing me from using my internet connection - so much so that I have gone back to my old MBP.
I have looked within the console log application and can not find anything useful when filtering using the strings "iCloud" or "iPhoto".
Can anyone provide any suggestions as to how I can locate the files being attempted to be uploaded? Or how I can prevent them from being attempted to be uploaded?
As a last resort I am willing to purge files from my iPhoto library (by putting them on another storage system).

I have deleted all of the streams that I believed to be causing problems and it is still occurring.
I deleted all of the year based streams and several other older streams and it still did not help. It still attempted to upload 1GB of data last night.
I suspect that there may be a problem with photostream agent component. When I deleted the year based streams (which were all created from my rMBP) they failed to delete from any of my devices (iPhone, iPad) - which I believe is one of control points of iPhoto /iCloud.
To answer my original stated question I was able to track which files were originally being accessed iPhoto / photostream agent using this command
sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }' | grep photo
which pointed me to a set of folders located here
/var/folders/n_/jvfrft450wz30sbn8sh6s9qm0000gn/T/com.apple.photostream-agent/ass et-Ntk5Aq
Is there someway that I can force the photostream agent to purge it's state or flush it's cache ...ie to force it to want to restart cleanly (ie forget about everything that it thinks that it needs to upload) without actually deleting every single photo that I have on my machine?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps.

How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx
-Tom

The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem.

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

How to create Album in iCloud Photos on Mac?

Anyone know how to create an album in iCloud photos on the Mac? It has a section for "My Albums" but I have no clue how to create one. I want to put all photos into named albums instead of just moments. I see how to do it on iPhone but it doesn't sync to the iCloud on Mac to look the same. Let me know what I am missing or not seeing here. Thanks

You cannot yet create albums in the iCloud Photos.app, only in the Photos.app on your mobile iOS 8 devices, or in the Photos.app for Mac that has yet to be released.

How do I view my pics on photos on my iPhone 5s by title, not by date created?

How do I view my pics on photos on my iphone by title and not by date created?
When I uploaded my pics from "Events" in iphoto it all transfered to my iphone. The folders are in order (sorted by numbers), but the content of the folders are arranged by date created, not by title. How do I fix this?
Anyone knows? Thanks much.

You still can (kind of).
If you open the Photos app and you are in Albums, tap Photos. In Photos, pictures are auto-grouped as Events based on location and date. If you see the location listed, that is tappable. Tap it, and that reveals the map where the photos were taken.
The one thing I don't know is how to see all photos by location. Because the most you can zoom out by time is Years, which means you can only see all photos taken by location within a single year, but not all years. I hope there's a way that I just haven't learned yet.

How do I sync my iCloud photos and music to my iPad?

How do I sync my iCloud photos and music to my iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community Bendy One.
For photos, settings > iCloud > photos > on.
For music, you can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
