Why Can't I see my photos in my icloud account?

Because there is no iCloud photo viewer.  You need to move them to your computer or your iOS device to view them.  Photo stream is just a mechanism to share photo's across multiple devices - it is not an online permanent storage, nor an online viewer feature.
Photo stream storage space is not even part of your personal iCloud account - it is separate, intended for temporary (max. 30 days) storage of photos solely to allow you to copy them onto other devices.
See the photo stream FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

    When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

    You did something wrong
    Seriously if you want help you need to give some information
    What happens?
    Did you restore the iPhoto library as a single entity?
    What did you do and how?

    Why can't I see my sent messages in my iCloud Sent mail box online?

    You may need to go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, then on the General tab confirm under Mailboxes that you have checked "Save sent messages in" and selected your "Sent" folder.

  • HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

    I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why can I only see 500 pictures from my Flickr account?

    I just got a 3rd gen Apple TV and was trying to use the Flickr app however I can't see all the photos on my account. I have a set of 1,200 pictures on my Flickr account all set to public but I'm only able to see 500 of those pictures. The name of the set shows up but not all the pictures in the set. I don't have a pro account if that matters.
    Thanks!
    JM

    Flickr app on Apple TV is rudimentary, needs a lot of improvement such as being able to see all photos (scrolling through 500 at a time if memory is a problem), searching sets, seeing Collections. So I really don't use it except as a screen saver for the most recent photos. Until they improve the app, I display photos via an iPad or iPhone mirroring from the Flickr app, Flickr Studio, or Fickstackr. Far more convenient, too.

  • Why can't I see my photos out of this App?? What could I do?

    Hi, everyone!
    All my photos are on iPhoto, but I can't see any folder with them out of the iPhoto!
    So..... When Im on twitter, FOR EXAMPLE, and I want to put a pic as Profile Photo, I have to copy the photo from iPhoto to any folder (desk, example..) then, I open the twitter photo searcher to pick up that photo and upload to the site.... Is it right?? I thought I could search the pics in some folder created automatically by iPhoto in the IMAGES folder..... =/  ........Sorry for my English. This is not my native language.
    Thanks....

  • Why can't I see my photos after moving them to external hard drive?

    My imac hard drive ran out of available space, so I copied iPhoto and all file to an external hard drive and deleted the originals from my original hard drive. All files seemed to come over, but I can't open the photos or see the images. Is there anything I can do to resolve this situation? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    no idea what you did or if the EHD is properly formatted
    the correct procedure is
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Why can't I see my photos

    My wife has photos and I can view/edit some of them but not all of them....thumbnails available but the actual file is not.

    What folders are they in?
    In Finder do a Get Info on them, see what rights you have... & if you can add your rights by unlocking the lock.

  • Why can't I see the photos in an album when I use the edit tool.

    I can see the film strip of photos in the album at the bottom of the screen, and when I select one of the photos the name and order number of the photo come up but the window where the photo should be but it is just blank.  Any idea what gives?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why can't i see cover photos on profiles on Facebook ap

    All of a sudden I can't seem to see any cover photos on any profiles on the Facebook ap including mine. I've deleted and re installed the ap, reset my phone and even restored factory settings then restored back up from my laptop. Besides that aps keep closing randomly and if I'm listening to music it goes off if I open up Facebook. Someone Help! Thanks in advance.

    Try this:
    Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
    Sign out of Facebook here: Settings > Facebook > Tap your name then Delete Account
    Delete the Facebook app
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    Reinstall the Facebook app
    Sign back in here: Settings > Facebook

  • Iphoto vs icloud vs iphone.... why can i not see my photos on my phone?

    i am trying to veiw my iphoto photos from my mac, i want to see them on my i phone. i have set up the streaming on both devices and i sstil see nothing! does iphoto for iphone also have to be downloaded to see everything i see on my computer?

    What version of iPhoto? Of the Mac OS?
    You do not need iPhoto for the iPhone to stream photos.
    The general answer is to turn PhotoStream on in the Mac iCloud preferences and in the iPhoto preferences and on your iPhone. Then drag photos from the iPhoto library to the PhotoStream in the source pane on the left
