    Shared photo stream questions
    Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
    If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
    For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
    I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
    Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
    Here's where I'm (further) confused...
    On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
    However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... "  image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
    So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
    Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
    Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
    Thanks!

    You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

  • Photo streaming question

    I'm not sure where this question ought to be posted, so I apologize if its the wrong section.
    In anycase, I wish to know how to erase a photo on photo streaming.
    Thanks!

    To get the photos on another devices you either have to share them or both have to be using the same iCloud account.
    What do you think share means?

  • HT201317 Photo Stream storage almost maxed out.

    I have an iPhone 4s. Question/ issue re: Photo Stream storage. Settings> General> Usage> Photos & Camera > Photo Stream-- shows I'm using 11.8 GB of memory, despite manually deleting (as suggested in the forum) and also turning off my Photo Stream. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you have any shared streams, particulary those containing videos, that you need to delete?

  • HT201317 Photo stream in iCloud

    I bought iPhone 5s and my photos didn't get transferred to my new phone but I have iCloud and photos in iCloud setting is on. Are my photos saved in iCloud?! Is there any way that I can get those pictures?! They're not in my photo stream.

    Hi A95,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    In your question above, "my photos didn't get transferred to my new phone" -- where were you transferring them from?  A different iPhone? A computer?
    If your previous phone was an iPhone, you would have created a backup to iCloud or iTunes, and then restored that backup to your new iPhone.  See article below:
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

    If you imported the pictures from your old phone to your computer, then you can sync the ones you want to your new iPhone.

  • HT201317 Photo Stream not showing photos: windows pc vista

    I have Windows PC with Vista: when I open 'photo stream' I have 9 'boxes' each one has photos in them. However only 5 show pictures and I can click on those boxes and see the pictures contained therein, the other 4 just show 'clouds', even when I try to open them. How do I get those pictures to show up?

  • HT201317 Photo stream not sending photos to pc

    I am having issues with photo stream not operating. Apple support helped me correct this once, but it has happened again. I use PCtools internet security. Does anyone have ths issue or a solution? Photos are in my photo stream in the iphone, but do not get pushed to my pc.

    I have the same problem. Iphone and Ipad both can sync photos between them.
    But not icloud 2.0 application on my windows 7 pc.
    Whenever I open icloud app, it have photo stream option unchecked.
    I check it back, nothing happens. It is unchecked again upon next start or application opening.
    I already tried rebooting pc and logout/login from icloud application.
    Clicking Parameters in photo stream does not open anything.

  • HT201317 photo stream not updating

    Photos added to iPhone 4 Photo Stream folder do not update in PC folder.  iCloud is enabled on phone and Windows 7, phone is Wi-Fi connected.

    You may have enabled iCloud on your devices, but did you also turn on photo stream?  Check in Settings>iCloud on the iPhone.  Check the PC as well, but I don't know where that's done, as I use a Mac.

    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: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections."

  • HT201317 Photo stream doesn't work wen I take photo,photos doesn't appear in photo stream ?

    Photo stream doesn't work , wen I take photo, photos doesn't appear in photo stream

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    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.

  • HT201317 Photo Stream is no longer pushing photos from my iPhone 4s to my PC.

    Everything was working fine until my phone ran out of storage space. I then deleted all the photos in my Photo Stream folder on my PC and turned off Photo Stream to delete photos on my phone. Now it no longer pushes photos to my PC. Any thoughts on what's wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hello nmamommy,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what is happening when you try to do the transfer. If you continue to have issues transferring photos from your iPhone to your Windows computer, you may want to verify your set up as outlined in the following article:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    Sincerely,

  • HT201317 photo stream is not working, won't go to PC

    I have 980 pics on my iPhone in the photo stream, not once has it ever sent photos to my PC folder and I've set up iCloud a LONG time ago. I want these pics because my PC crashed, so how do I get them back to PC if it won't upload them?

    Had the same problem. I uninstalled icloud, restarted my pc and reinstalled icloud and it's working fine. Hope this helps.

  • HT201317 photo stream is not downloading to my PC

    I have set up Photo Stream on my PC, iPad2 and iPod as per instructions, but hen taking pictures on either the iPad or iPod, they do not get pushed to the folders specified in the PC.  Same goes if I drag a picture in the Photo Stream folder on the PC, it does not get transfered to the iPad or iPod.  Not sure why, it was working a month ago but now nothing...

    Sign out of the iCloud control panel and then back in on your computer.
    If this doesn't work, uninstall and then reinstall iCloud.

  • HT201317 Photo stream photos on macbook do not show on ios devices.

    When I take photos on my iphone they show up on my MacBook Air. When I add a photo to my photo stream on the MacBook Air they do not show up on my iphone. Did I miss something? Is it only one way?

    It appears that photos from photostream do not download to your laptop. Depending on Operating system(Mac or Windows) you may want to check why?
    Here are some steps.

  • HT201317 Photo Stream Pics on Windows PC

    Hi..Im new to all this but can someone tell me if the pictures on photo stream on my windows PC stay permenantly or do they get deleted every 30days?

    Hi...
    If you delete the photos from Photo Stream on your phone, they will also be removed from your computer. If you simply turn Photo Stream off on your phone then they will not be deleted from the computer.
    Hope this helps.
