HT4623 Photos missing in Photo Stream

I had over 1,000 photos in my photo stream and now all but the last months' pictures are completely gone. I haven't erased them but they are all gone. I've updated my phone to the latest operating system. I'm unsure how to get my pictures back. I appreciate anyone's advice and help. Thank you!

Photo Stream only keeps the last 30 days worth of photos in the cloud. It is not permanent storage. If the photos were more than 30 days old, and you didn't have them backed up or stored elsewhere, they are gone.

  • HT4623 photo stream not uploading to windows computer

    iO6, photo stream not uploading (via iCloud) from my iPhone 5 to Windows computer.  All setting seem to be set to on.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I restored my iphone and i am not getting all of my photo stream photos  i am missing about 900 photos out of 1000 please help

    i restored my iphone and i am not getting the rest of my photos from my photo stream  i am missing about 900 out of 1000 photos  it only shows 147 photos  it is not downloading for more   i was sure i backed it up to icloud i had 1.7 free gb and it still says 1.7 gb free but i am not getting it still

    With respect, there is no way that upgrading your iPhone will erase the photos on your computer. WHy not tell us what happened exactly, nd how it relates to iPhoto. If, along the way, you can tell us what version of iPhoto, that might help to.

  • HT201317 I had 250 photos stored in photo stream but i restore them now they are just 150. I m missing about 100 photos those were very urgent please please help

    Photo stream only keeps photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them (such as by restoring your phone).  When you turned on photo stream again you only got back the photos added in the last 30 days as the others have already been removed.
    If the missing photos were still in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.  (The backup includes camera roll photos but not photo stream photos.)

  • Missing Photos in Photo Stream

    I take pictures with my iPhone 4s and they go to my iPad just great but I only get about 50% of them to my MacBook Pro.  They are radomly not there.  There will be five or six that are there then 5 or 6 that are black no photo.  All the warythrough the 200 photos I took on my latest trip?  Is there any reason for this random messing up of photos?  Is there anyway of getting them on the MacBook short of syncing my iPhone 4s through iPhoto?  I am not liking this Photo Stream right now to many missing photos.
    Thanks
    Pat

    Never mind, figured out the solution turn off Photo Stream in iPhoto them turn back on and all the pictures are there.

  • HELP !! how can I restore missing photo stream photos that are not in camera roll ?!

    I have been on vacation in Costa Rica for about 3 months ! About a month ago I lost my iPhone and all of the photos , however when I checked my ipad the photos were all in photo stream ! *yaaay* , however I was unaware that photo stream automatically deletes all photos after 30 days .. So you can imagine how devastated I was to find that once again all of my photos were gone ! ): I didn't have access to a computer to download the onto and the iPhone is still missing ! Is there ANYWAY possible to retrieve the photos that were in my photo stream up until last evening ): !!! Help would be so so so appreciated as I no longer have any photos of the trip and well .. That kind of ***** ): !!!
    THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, if they've been deleted from my photo stream, they have gone.

  • Ipad missing...pictures appearing in photo stream on iphone

    My ipad went missing last Sunday 3rd August whilst staying at my aunts house abroad. In the house it was just me, my aunt, my cousin and my 4 year old. No one had entered the house so we figured it must be in the house somewhere. My 4 year old did leave the house with it in her backpack but my aunt swears blind that she returned to the house with it and didn't lose it while out (they went to another aunts house who also searched her house just incase and says its not there...she also says she remembers my daughter putting it in her bag and leaving with it) ...it was also not in the car. We searched the house all week and by the end of the week we packed out bags to fly back to England on Sunday 10th August. Ipad was never found and I accepted it was lost. On Tuesday 12th August I was going through my iphone 4s which I had left in England and has been untouched since June. In my photo stream I discovered approx 30 pics of my cousins friend in his bed, his room, outside his house etc. All taken between 7th August-10th August....(ipad been missing since the 3rd)  to me this only means one thing ..I was very shocked as I thought very highly of him and because I know he didn't access the house  I suggested that my cousin was somehow involved (my cousin has a rep for taking and lending  people things alot  without asking) . I sent the guy a message and he came across very hurt  and denied it. My  aunt and cousin are also now not speaking to me because I suggested that my cousin knew some thing  about this.  Im very confused right now. I I'm being made out to feel bad for accusing this guy of having my ipad. Am I right to believe he definitely has it or are there other ways those pictures could have  somehow ended up in my photo stream. Thanks

    Thanks for reply...i do know the answer just that everyone is making me feel terrible for accusing this guy. Since I've met him I've always got on with him very well and my daughter is very fond of him so when I made the discovery of the pics in my photo stream I was very shocked. Also knowing that no one had access into the house around the time it disappeared and the fact that it had a pass code which only my cousin knew, led me to believe my cousin knew something about this. My aunt is now extremely upset with me now for thinking that my cousin is somehow involved...which is something that really upsets me as she's like a mother to me. The guy is denying it and keeps telling me he hasn't got it, hes being honest with me and that he will even help me to try and locate it. One part of me knows the answer...the other part really doesn't want to accept it. I don't like accusing people of stealing and this has been bothering me alot in the past few days..just wanted someone else's take on it all. Thanks

  • Pictures missing in photo stream after empty-battery + work around

    I recently had a situation where synchronizing photos between my iOS7 and MacOS 10.9 devices failed and/or showed strange effects (individual pictures missing).
    After a day of annoying experiences I realised that the problems started after the iPhone (that I use for taking photos) had switched itself off due to an empty battery (there's just too much to see at the Carneval in Venice ;-) After fully charging the iPhone I took more photos but some (!) of the new photos (and some of the older photos) did not sync.
    WORK AROUND: restarted the iPhone once more.

    Summary
    Photo stream IS "Recently Added" as well as "Recently Taken" combined.  If it was taken with this phone, it can be favorited.  If not, there's no favorite (heart) icon.
    Details
    So I have 2 iphones I use, one for work, one personal.  I do very little with the work one and never had photo stream turned on but I use the same itunes account for both so I can share itunes match and photos and contacts if/when I chose to.
    I was confused about where photo stream went as well.
    So prior to turning on photo steam on my work phone, I saw that I had 4 photos (mostly screen shots) on the work phone, under "recently added".  I took a picture with the phone to be sure.  Yup, it was added to recently added but not "summarized" (not sure why it wasn't summarized but nothing else is on that phone).
    I have other settings to "default" including having "summarize photos" turned on.
    I then turned on "My Photo Stream" and saw photos start getting added to "Recently Added".  The count ended up being around 625 which is huge, but much less than the 1000 on my windows Photo Stream, and less than the 661 or so on my personal phone.  Not sure if this is the 30 days limitation on my personal or what the limitation is on my work phone.
    FYI, did all this with wifi so the download was moderately fast.
    Another thing of note.  Photos that were taken with the same phone have the favorite icon (the heart).  Photos taken on the other phone do not.  So that's how to tell if it's only on the photo stream.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Missing Photo Stream Album in iPhoto

    Hi!

  • Photo Stream Thumbnail Missing

    iPhoto '11 (9.2.3)
    Recentely retrieved iPhoto library from Time Machine backup and found issues with photo stream pictrues.
    Photo Stream Mar 2012, Feb 2012, etc. thumbnails are missing in events.  When you click/select the even it opens to a list of empty thumbnails.  When you select the empty thumbnail it opens and shows the picture.
    In some cases in "photos" it shows an entire list of the same randam image.  Again, when you select the photo it shows the correct photo.
    How can this be fixed??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Did some searching and came across this solution:

  • Shared photo stream option missing iphoto 11

    In Iphoto / preferences there is a missing option to check
    Shared photo streams.
    Iphoto 11 - upgrade
    OSX 10.7.5
    Anyone know how to resolve ?

    Upgrade your OS - shared PhotoStream requires OS X version 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or newer and IOS 6.0 or later
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later

  • HT204053 i am missing pictures on my ipad 2.  i have checked photo stream and camera roll.  actually they were there earlier but now gone.  i also use dropbox as well, and can't find them there either!  Can someone help me figure this out?

    Missing photos from camera roll and photo stream.  i also have been using dropbox.  Will someone tell me how to find them?  they were there yesterday, and i did not delete any?

    Unless someone physically deleted those, you describing practically impossible situation. Even deleting from camera roll would delete from photostream possibly, but not if you manually put those in dropbox and they had time to upload.
