HT201317 existing pictures on my phone won't send to iCloud after I turned it on

I just turned on photo stream on my mac and phone.     The pictures that already existed on my phone won't stream to the computer.    What am I doing wrong?

Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
You should connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and import any photos taken pre-activation manually.

    My phone won't send or receive picture messages.  How do I fix this?  Is there a way to get picture messages without turning on my internet?

  • HT204053 i restarted my apple id email because i deleted my old email.. but now my phone won't backup to icloud because it's asking for the password to the old email. How would i fix this?

    i restarted my apple id email because i deleted my old email.. but now my phone won't backup to icloud because it's asking for the password to the old email. How would i fix this?

    If your phone is signed into your old iCloud ID ("email"), you need to delete the existing account then sign back in with your new ID.  To do this go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My phone won't send or receive texts. Does anyone know why?

    Does anyone know why my phone won't send or receive texts? I've updated my phone numerous times.

    Beyond that, SMS is a carrier feature.  Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

  • My phone won't send iMessages

    My phone won't send iMessages and I'm connected to wifi and I have data. Everything is connected and set up properly with my Apple ID through my phone. What do I do? Also, I'm recieving my mothers text messages through my phone because she is using my iCloud account, how can we fix that?

    Try turning it off and on again, that usually works for me.
    I'm having problems with iMessage on my Mac, so there might be a problem with Apple's iMessage servers.

  • Phone won't go to sleep after ios7 update

    My phone won't go to sleep after the ios 7 update unless it is on auto lock which I do not want it on.  Can anyone help me with this problem?

    could you fix the problem? I have set mine to all the different time restrictions for it to sleep, and it isnt happening. Consequently, my iphone has been overheating at night when I dont manually put it to sleep. By now Im thinking the battery life has been diminished since it is not lasting as long as when it was brand new (iphones 5s)

  • Phone won't send pictures since Leopard upgrade

    I have a Nokia 6682 smartphone. I use the bluetooth mainly to send pictures I take w/ the phone to my Macbook.
    However, ever since I upgraded to Leopard, the phone won't successfully connect. I have tried re-configuring the device pairing among other random things. Still no luck.
    Any suggestions? Anyone having a similar problem with a bluetooth device and Leopard?

    Answered here: cannot receive via bluetooth

  • Phone won't send texts

    For some reason, my phone will periodically not send text messages, and the problem won't correct itself until I either reboot it, or I turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. I receive a message that the text message won't send, and it gives me an option to retry. After several retry attempts, I give up and reboot or cycle airplane mode. I've seen some notes across the web about it maybe being a SIM card issue, or potentially a firmware issue. I'm hesitant to restoring the phone to factory, as there are a number of files, apps, and settings I'd have to restore. Any thoughts from the community?

    Have you tried to power off, pull the SIM card then re-seat the sim card?

  • Contacts on phone won't sync to iCloud

    I have some contacts which I recently added to my iPhone; they resolutely stay on my iPhone and won't sync to iCloud (or my Address Book on my Mac). I have checked every setting I can think of, turned things off and on again, but nothing works. The only thing I can think of is that if I click 'Groups' in Address Book on the phone, this particular bunch of people come up under 'Gmail'. But how do I get them out of Gmail and onto iCloud?
    Suggestions appreciated!!

    Problem is resolved - I connected phone to macbook pro, resetting my sync settings to include sync via wi-fi,  and  ejected phone; for a while, nothing happened but  after a while, the    contacts newly entered on the macbook pro did  finally show up on phone - so thanks for advice but problem is moot.  And  i am not so sure I would have wanted to delete all my contacts from the phone and trust the iCloud back up -- on the other hand the force- code contacts and re-set phone suggestions look like good ones.
    Many thanks, anyway.

  • My phone won't send emails until I get home. Says rejected by the server.

    My phone receives emails where ever I am but won't send until I get home. Says "rejected by the server". Using Time Warner. Any suggestions?

    You might be using an invalid email address that you are sending to or your mail settings for the account are wrong.  Check the address and I would delete the email account and reenter it

  • My iPhone isnt working with messages. The messages tend to get backed up and I receive them all later... The phone won't send iMessage during this time period... What do I do?

    The messages in the phone don't load until hours after they're received and seem to get overloaded very easily

    What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
    If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
    Regars.

  • Phone won't send picture messages

    I had trouble sending picture messages..... it'll say "sending" for an hour then later says it failed. I read the forums and I tried putting the phone on safe mode and when I did that, it worked and sent the picture right away. what does that mean? I cant get out of safe mode ever then?? help..

    Rebooting the phone automatically starts it in normal mode even if you had it in safe mode prior.

  • Phone won't see media files after clearing the data for SomcPhotoAnalyzer.apk

    Hello,My sister accidentally cleared the data for the PhotoAnalyzerService app (com.sonymobile.photoanalyzer 5.5.A.0.10) in the app manager on her Z2. That caused the Album app to disappear from the app drawr. Since then, she updated Album (com.sonyericsson.album) from the Play Store, and that caused the Album  icon to reappear in the app drawr. However, something is wrong with how media is handled by the phone now: Album now behaves like this:In Home: all photos inside the DCIM folder, BUT photos that were downloaded to the phone are missin.In Camera: only camera photos taken after the data was cleared.In Folders: shows nothing.When trying to edit an older camera photo it says "no application available."Additionally, all ringtones were rest to default, and selecting new ones is now impossible, either with Sound Picker or with ES File Explorer. Restarting the phone many times didn't help. The phone is running android 4.4.2 (Build 17.1.2.A.0.314). Any advice? Will a factory reset help? Anything other than a factory reset? (she won't be happy to lose everything on the phone...)  Edit: to be clear, the files that are missing from Album are still on the phone, and can be viewed with ES File Explorer, for example.

    You could try an app preferences reset Settings tap the 3 dots or options icon then Reset app preferences and then reboot and test - As for apps missing then try Settings then Apps then swipe to disabled to see if the app in question is there however if files are missing it could be that all data for that app was erased at the same time
