HT201317 my photo stream photos are not on my new iphone

I have just been given a new iPhone 5 as my old one had some issues... I ensured that all of my pictures were in my photo stream so that I could automatically bring them onto my new replacement iPhone. I have attempted to look for these however and I can see that none of them have been brought forwards... I am very upset at this as there are alot of photographs which will not be able to be replaced and are of some very personal things. I would genuinely like a way to abtain them from the photostream without having to purchase the new version of iPhoto on my iMac.
Could you please get back to me with a resolution as soon as possible?
thanks
Gary

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.

    For example.  When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone!  I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

  • Is there a way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll?

    Is there any way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll? I used my iPhone for a camera and put pix on iPad through photo stream. But I didn't realize they were not on the iPad camera roll, and deleted them from the phone Photostream. Now they are gone. Any chance to find them in the cloud?

    No, there is no re-cycling bin on the iPad. If you deleted them from the card, and you havn't yet re-used the card, then there may be recovery software that you can get for your computer that might be able to get them back.

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • HT201317 How can i get all the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac onto my new iPhone?

    How do I get the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac in iphoto onto my iphone 5?

    By syncing them from your iphoto using that article
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes - Apple - Support
    Or if last 30 days of pictures is enough for you, you just need to sign in to your icloud on the phone and turn photostream "ON".

  • Purchased ringtones are not on my new iphone

    I purchased three ringtones and recently had to get a replacement iPhone 5. My purchased songs were transferred however, my ringtones were not. How do I get them back? Please help! I really don't want to pay $1.29 all over again.

    Ringtones are a Once only Download... If you did not back them up to iTunes on your computer you will need to re-purchase them.

  • Lightening cables are not charging brand new iphone

    Apple store replaced the phone I got on June 26 yesterday because the phone would randomly reset and then would not come back on.
    Today neither one of the lightening cables I used with the previous phone (one came with the phone, one purchased the same day at Best Buy) will charge the phone.  Any fixes for this?

    I should add, I get a message that says the cable "is drawing too much power" when I use my mac at home to sync/charge, and a "USB over notice" on my work PC.  If I plug into an adapter absolutely nothing happens.

    Hi...
    Tap the Photos icon in the Dock at the bottom of of the screen.
    If you don't see the photos there, tap Settings > iCloud
    Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on

  • HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled.  However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
    If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them.  If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
    If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data.

  • HT4623 popup 'photo stream' has appeared & not allowing it to open & blocked my ipad mini. it says photos for iCloud account can not be assessed. review your account information in settings. IGNORE & SETTINGS ARE NO WORKING

    popup 'photo stream' has appeared & not allowing it to open & blocked my ipad mini. it says photos for iCloud account can not be assessed. review your account information in settings. IGNORE & SETTINGS are not working

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT201317 if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

    if my photos are uploaded to Photo Stream, can I delete them from my iPhone to free up space on the device?

    If you delete them from the Photo Stream folder on your device they will also be deleted from Photo Stream in iCloud and your other devices.  You can delete them from Camera Roll to free up space.  However, Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for 30 days (not permanently).  If you want to save your photos permanently, a better solution is to import them to your computer by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then choose the option to delete them from your device after importing to free up space.  If you still want some of these photos on your device, you can put them in a folder on your computer and then sync them back to your device by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.

  • HT201317 i have pictures on my iphone photo stream that did not automatically download to my photo stream on the computer

    I have pictures on my iphone 4 that are in my photo stream, that have not downloaded to my photo stream in the cloud. How can I get them to download?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • HT201317 Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?

    Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?
    Also, how can I push photos from photo stream to my ipnone?

    Probably because you enabled photo stream on your iPad before you did on your phone.  Photos are only maintained in photo stream for 30 days, although photos outside of this limit will remain on your device.  If you enabled photo stream on your phone later, some of the photos were probably no longer in photo stream to sync to your phone.
    To get them on your phone, import them to your computer and sync them to your phone, or use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer them to your phone.
