HT204022 How do you reset photo stream?

The default setting in iphoto has pushed my entire photo library to the could. Or atleast attempted to. I stopped it before all 30k pictures were uploaded. The problem now is when I turn photo stream back on in icloud it is trying to download 4,300 pictures. All I want to do is stop this madness and reset photo stream.
I have tried the old way by logging into icloud.com and but the advanced settings in your account are gone.
Please help!

At the present time you have to delete them from the my photo stream album on your iOS device to remove them from photo stream. 
Or just wait 30 days, when the photos will be automatically deleted from the stream servers.  After that, just turn off photo stream in settings and back on.  This will delete the photos on the device and download whatever is on the server.  Of course if you keep adding photos to the stream, that won't work well.

    how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

    I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV.  Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
    When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
    Many thanks

  • How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

    After accidentally deleting photo stream  photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV.  How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to  my iPad?  Suggestions welcomed

    If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
    If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
    If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
    I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • How do you remove photo stream folders

    i have 3 photo stream folders on my IPHONE 4, how do i remove 2 of them?

    There is no way to do so.
    PhotoStream is temporary - a maximum of 1,000 photos and 30 days.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you reset photo stream from the iCloud.com website, the photos will remain on your various devices, unless you also disable photo stream synchronisation and then turn it back on again.

  • How do you delete photos in photo stream?

    How can I delete photos on my photo stream? My daughter added a monster photo that I would like off my phone and iPad. I know how to turn off photo stream i want to delete a photo. Thank you.

    You cannot actually delete photos a la carte from Photostream unfortunately. I am sure this is a huge request for Apple, but right now, it is an all or nothing deal.
    What you can do is completely reset Photostream to clear out everything that is there. Make sure that you save your images to an album or event in iPhoto, the Photo app, or a folder in Windows so you don't lose them.
    You can then go to iCloud and click the "reset" button in Photostream to purge the images form the server. Then go to each device an turn Photostream off and back on to purge the local cache.

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices."

  • How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

    How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album?  I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.  If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album.  That doesn't make sense to me.  There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums.  Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over. 
    I am completely lost.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples.  I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
    Sarah,
    Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
    Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
    What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
    The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos.  Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
    So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
    Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
    That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
    If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
    It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
    How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

  • How come you can't stream photos from a primary library that is "paired"?

    I think someone else commented about this as well but I never really saw an answer as to why Apple doesn't allow this. How come you can only stream from a shared or secondary library but for a primary or "paired" libray you have to sync photos. If you can stream from a primary it is not working for me.
    Thanks again ATV community!

    It's behaving correctly for you, you cannot stream photos from a primary library. Why I don't know, the software has gone through several stages and various options have been offered, so I can only assume it's not an oversight but a deliberate restriction for the better.

  • HT204022 How do I remove photos from Photo Stream from my iPhone 4s?

    I am trying to delete some of my photos from Photo Stream on my iPhone 4s running on 5.0.1 When I mark the pictures on the phone that I want to delete there is no option to actually remove them. Is there a way that this can be done and if so how do I go about doing this?  can I do it from the phone directly or do I have to go through iTunes? If I have to do it through iTunes how do I also do this?
    Many thanks for all your help,

    You should be able to open you my photo stream folder in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.

  • How do you switch to streaming without deleting synched photos in AppleTV?

    I have synced my photos onto my AppleTV and use them as my screen saver. I'd like to keep these photos on my Apple TV and also use the stream function to listen to my music playlists and movies. When I switch the option to streaming everything is deleted from my Apple TV, including the photos that I use as the screensaver. How do you switch to streaming without deleting synched photos in the Apple TV?

    Firstly, the ctrl-click option says turn of syncing not turn on streaming, but I'm not at all sure this is really what you want to do.
    In itunes, select the tv from the device list, then in the main part of the iTunes window select the summary tab and ensure you have custom sync enabled and that 'show only synced items' is unchecked.
    Click sync from the bottom RH corner, your tv should now see all the content in itunes provided it is checked. See This.
    Now you can work your way through all the tabs in the main window and select/deselect any content you want/don't want to sync.

  • How do you delete photos

    How do you delete photos

    You can't delete individual photos currently I'm afraid, you can delete all of them or none of them.
    To delete all of them, reset Photo Stream, (iCloud.com > account (click on your name in the top right corner) > advanced) and then turn off Photo Stream syncing on each device and turn it back on again (settings (system preferences) > iCloud).

  • 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.
