HT201317 Why can't I view my iPhone photo stream online?

I have an older laptop and it doesn't support the new software for iCloud. (REALLY bummed me out that Apple did that!) without resources to purchase new - I've lost a bit of appreciation for apple in that regard (just sayin)
Anyway, I thought iCloud was set up so you could view your streamed pictures from anywhere at iCloud.com. Am I just totally out of luck in that respect? And why would you purchase extra space for iCloud if you can't even access your pics?
Also - I have an iPad that I can't even figure out how to get iCloud on it. The settings are there - but no iCloud in my apps.

There is no web viewable PhotoStream except for ones you choose to share with others. You can access your pictures from iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and AppleTV) plus Macs and PCs.
Photos aren't the only thing that uses iCloud space, so there are many reasons why you'd purchase extra.
After signing into your iCloud account on your iPad, your data stored in iCloud (such as contacts, calendars, notes, email, bookmarks etc.) automatically appears in the various apps that iCloud uses, such as Contacts, Calendars, Safari, Notes, Photos.
It sounds like familiarising yourself with what iCloud does, how it works and how to use it would be beneficial to you. I'd recommend reading the Help:

Without explaining what you have tried, it might be hard to answer your question. Providing a little more detail would probably be useful to those that want to help you.

Why didn't all of my iphone photos stream to my pc

some of my iphone photos streamed to my pc but how can i transfer the others and why didnt they all transfer?

Yes, sorry, you are correct, it was iTunes Match. I purchased storage on iTunes Match (probably a bad idea), because I had over 1000 songs on my i-phone 4S -which is eating up my storage space. Well, anyway...After I purchased it, I followed the instructions: go to: Settings, "open" music, "Turn on" iTunes Match. After I did that, I opened up the Music App -on my phone -ALL of my playlists were gone and only 208 songs showed... I messed up my phone once before and I had to log into my i-Tunes account (on my computer) and "reset" to another date. I would like to do that again -if possible...
Please help!

HT201317 How can I move a file in photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library. If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.

Why can't i edit my iPhone photos

I just gathered together my vacation pictures, from a photographer, my point&shoot and from 2 iPhones. For some reason, in iPhoto - I am not able to edit the iPhone photos. It gives me an error message saying that they are not editable... ugh! why?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT201317 I can't find my more recent photo stream photos on my laptop

In a bit of a pickle with my iCloud.......in our house we use an ipad, old ipod touch, I have an iphone 4s, husband has an iphone 5, and now another 5s just added . Got them all set up (I believe) to share photo stream....set it up on the laptop and as I believed all photos were auto downloading to the laptop....had a look and it appears nothings in there from December...
Not particularly technical so any help appreciated...where's the best place to start with this? I did get a replacement iphone as mine was playing up around that time and I thought I had just restored it from my old backup?
We have paid for icloud storage...I am now realising I don't actually realise what we have and how it all interacts with each other!
Thanks for reading, any guidance much appreciated.

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.

HT4906 why can't i turn on my photo stream on my mac?

I am unable to turn the photo stream on on my macbook pro. I have tried serching the more information and and found nothing that has helped. I want to be able to see my photos on my iPhone that I have down loaded onto my mac. I have the photo stream turned on on my phone but can check it on my mac.
Can anyone help me.

As long as your system and iPhoto meets the minimum requirements for the basic Photo Stream try the following:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT4890 How do I view pictures in photo stream online?

How do I view pictures online for photostream? I am so frustrated that I can't figure it out. Does anyone know?

There is no Photo Stream picture viewer function on the icloud.com website. The Photo Stream function is just to move pictures around among your devices and computers, not to display them.
On the other hand, there is a "journal" feature in the iPhoto app for iOS that creates somethng vaguely like a photo album that can be viewed with a web browser, and the journal is stored in iCloud, but it is not accessed through icloud.com.

MY PREVIOUS MAC HARD DRIVE CRASHED. WHY CAN'T I SYNC MY IPHONE PHOTOS TO MY NEW MACBOOK?!?!?! SERIOUSLY. APPLE.

This is UNACCEPTABLE. When a computer hard drive crashes, you can't do anything about it. Now I have a ton of photos on my iphone that I just can't get off it when I want to sync it with my newly purchased Macbook Air.
This is one area where controlling everything end-to-end is too much. Let us get to the **** raw data files where we need too (like the Macbook allows you to do that). COME ON APPLE. SERIOUSLY, do a **** upgrade and fix this crap.

You can get your photos off your phone. If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly. For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's
LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
THANK YOU!

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

Why can't we view Java on the iphone?

Why can't we view java. I understand that Steve Jobs said in 2010 that it was a dying technology however lots and lots of sites still use it and I am tired of needing my laptop every time I want to use one of those sites. This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc. can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?

Why can't we view java.
Because the iPhone does not have support for Java.
lots and lots of sites still use it
Really? I haven't come across one in years. I don't even have it installed on my computers.
This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc.
I use both of those sites, and have never come across the need for Java. Are you sure you are talking about Java?
Provide some links to pages you are unable to view.
can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?
You can download another browser if you want. You'll have to read the AppStore descriptions for browsers that claim to support Java and then try them out.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
It says,
''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kayl07

There are several common causes for this problem:
Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5? I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch.
I hate viewing a small version of the video. If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos. Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work. It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:
