HT201317 How do I force photo stream to update

Photos taken with iPhone 4s on iOS 5.1.1 do not update onto iPad 2 iOS 5.1.1. Photo stream is switched on and both devices on wifi

Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

    Then, open Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID, and mark Photo Stream. Then, press Options button to see which the Photo Stream folders are, so you just have to access to those folders depending on if you want to see Photo Stream photos or upload them

    Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
    It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.

  • HT201317 How do i remove photo stream from my windows 7 pc? I have not given permission for it to be enabled, but the icon and text still exists in 'computer'.

    Please how?
    Ps i object to posting this in a forum, i apologise to other forum users. This is what apple support requires me to do.poor job apple

    I had already done that before giving him the phone.  I left iTunes Match on it because in my mind, he would have access to his music and more.  I guess he did not like the clutter form having the entire music to have to browse through.
    In any case, I fixed the problem by doing a factory reset and restore from backup.
    I should not need to do that .. but that got rid of the iTunes Match from the device.

    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.

  • If you edit photos in iPhoto, will Photo Stream (iCloud) update the photos on your other devices?

    Am I dreaming or will Photo Stream (iCloud) update photos on my Macbook when I edit them (enhance, crop, rotate, etc) on my iMac (automatically or otherwise)? If so, do I need to do anything besides the basic Photo Stream setup to make this happen? The movie on Apple's site about iCloud seems to imply this is true, but it's vague. I'm unable to find anything about this in the small amount of Help articles about iCloud. Thanks for any help.

    Yes via your Wi-Fi network.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • HT201317 how can i sequence photos in photo stream for a slideshow

    How can i sequence photos which have been taken over a period of months and exported to photo stream in no order for a slide show which must have the photos ordered manually?
    thanks

    You can't resequence the order in photo stream if that's what you are asking.  You say you've been taking photos over a period of months - I hope these are not just in photo stream, because photos stay in the stream for up to 30 days (and only a max of 1000 pictures).  You need to copy the photos [once they've been synced by the stream to a computer] to an album (on a mac) to folder (PC) were you can organize them any way you want.
    Always sync photos to a computer (either by USB or iCloud) as you would with a digital camera.  Never trust them to iCloud alone - too many users have lost most/all their photos when performing restores or whatever.
