HT201317 My photos from my iphone won't upload to my photo stream on my mac.

I turned on iCloud on both devices and it will only upload pictures to my phone from my mac's photo stream, but when I take a picture on my phone, it wont upload to my Mac, even when I have WiFi. Please Help.

Have you left the camera app? Upload to photo stream should start, when you leave the camera app.
And when your iPhone is fully charged. The phone will not upload, if the battery has less than 20% left. Then the ipload willwait, unitl the phone is charged.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

  • My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos?

    My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
    I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. Thanks

    Hey EmilyEliza,
    As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -

  • My iCloud stopped pushing photos from my iPhone to my iPad.  The photo stream has disappeared.  There is enough storage as well

    My iCloud stopped pushing photos from my iPhone to my iPad.  The photo stream has disappeared.  There is enough storage as well

    The answer to that is because your phone and your Mac are signed into different accounts. Sign the phone in using the same credentials as the Mac.

  • I wanted to put my photos from my iphone to itunes and realized my photo stream wasn't turned on nor was icloud on my cpu.  So after fixing that, i still can not view any pictures on my itunes that are from my iphone.

    Not only that but now that photo stream is turned on, it shows 3 photo stream albums, 1 called my photo stream that i made from my cpu,1 photo library, and 1 called photo stream.  when i turn it off, it just deletes the photo stream album and leaves the others.  what do i need to do to do this right?  i just want what's necessary and to be able to view my photos on itunes or wherever it's suppose to be because i have way too many photos on my phone that i want to take off.

    Photostream will only work with photos newly taken on your iPhone.   It will not work with photos already on your iPhone.  The idea of Photostream is to allow you to take a photo(s) on your iPhone and a copy will be extended to the Photostream album on the iphone as well as other devices(with Photostream turned on) and your PC (with icloud control panel installed and photostream turned on) so that you can copy those files into your local folder.
    If you want to transfer old photos from your iPhone, connect it to your PC and there will be an AUTOPLAY popup window for you to select to import pictures to your local folder.
    If the Autoplay window dose not showup, you can go to windows explorer to look for your iPhone and right click to select import pictures:

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

  • When transferring photos from my Iphone to my pc = no new photos found on Iphone

    I want to transfer my photos from my Iphone to my pc. My computer recognizes the Iphone, but always says that he can't find any new photos on the Iphone. Eventhough there are hundreds of new photo's. Any help?

    Currently there's no way to get edited photos from an iPhone to a Mac except to email them to yourself.  With the introduction of the iCloud Photo Library then edited versions can be synced between devices.

  • HT201077 My Photo Stream is no longer adding photos to my PC.  How do I get my photos from my iPhone 5 to my PC's Photo Stream?

    My Photos Stream is no longer adding photos to my PC.  How do I get my photos from my iPhone 5 ios 7.0.4 to my PC's Photo Stream?

    Hi jmy13,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on your PC is not updating:
    you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • Photos from iphoto 11 won't upload to fb

    Each time I try to share photos on fb it looks like it is uploading but then I get an error message.  It happens if I start in iphoto or in fb.  I can upload photos fine from my itouch, just not from my desktop.  It's been going on for a few weeks now. Any ideas? I have all the latest updates.  I've tried turning the computer totally off then back on...

    Do the following:
    Copy the backup library package/folder to the Pictures folder on your new Mac. If you have any other libraries there move them to the Desktop first.
    Download and run iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library to convert it to the new format.  The app will be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
    Launch iPhoto 9.5.1 and open the "converted" library.
    Now you can delete any libraries that you previously moved to the Desktop.

    I cannot remove syncronized photos from my iphone 5 iOS8.1.3

    The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll.  If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.
