HT4858: Why my Photo Stream is still 1k limit on iOS6?

I read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858 and found there is no limit on the total number of photo on My Photo Stream and My Photo Stream Sharing.
But max number of my Photo Stream is still 1000 as before.
So, how to solve this problem without upgrade? THANKS!    (found many friends' iPhone4 is slow on iOS7 so I do wanna keep iOS6)

iCloud still maintains a rolling collection of your most recent 1000 my photo stream photos on an iOS device, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486.  The article you referenced says there is an unliminted number of photos you can upload to my photo stream over time.
The limit on a shared photo stream is 5000 photos, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903.  The only change with iOS 7 is you can now included videos (now called "shared streams"), but the limit is still 5000 photos and videos combined.

  • Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"?

    Why is Photo Stream stuck on "Uploading 98 Photos"? They appear to be camera photos that I imported into iPhoto. I can leave the computer on all day and it still remains the same, meanwhile photos I take on the iPad are still being synced.

    Try to reset the Photo Stream:
    Disable it in System Preferences > iCloud
    Wait for a few minutes - have a cup of coffee.
    Then enabe it again.
    Repeat, if it has no effect the first time.
    Have you exceeded your daily or monthly limits?
    See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

  • I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

  • HT201077 Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

    im trying to free space on my iphone 4 8gb by deleting photos, if i put them onto my icloud can i delete the photo stream but still have the photos

    There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
    In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts,  tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.

  • Why is photo stream so slow?

    why is photo stream so slow? i'm trying to stream photos from my macbook air to my other devices, only about 50 photos and it's taking quite some time. trying to understand this. also, is it possible to photo stream videos? they are in my iPhoto so i assume they can be streamed, but that seems to freeze up the whole process.

    A photo in Photo Stream makes a trip up to the cloud and then down to your device. Your ISP probably caps the speed of the trip to the cloud which accounts for the length of time it is taking. I know that my upload speed is 20% of my download speed.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all of my pics onto my new iPhone 5c. phone plug into iMac, all settings on phone are for photo stream on. it only sent 100 out of 1000. thanks for any help !

    Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all 1,000 pictures onto my new iphone 5c? i backed up my old phone onto the mac and plugged in my new phone then hit backup. it only gave me 100 pictures????? why?
    thanks for any help!

    Because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  Only shared streams keep photos in iCloud indefinitely.  Your other photos are probably older than 30 days and are no longer in iCloud.
    Also, photo stream photos aren't included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  If you want to include photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll in your backup, you have to save them to the camera roll before backing up.

  • Why is photo stream not synching across multiple devices?

    I am using an iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Pro - all with Photo Stream enabled on the same account - yet the photos in my individual photo streams are no identical across all. There are a handful of photos that in the stream that I can find on all of my devices, but at the same time, each device also has a number (sometimes quite a few) that are only on that particular device, despite it appearing on that device's photo stream.  How can I sync them so that they all have the same photos? I thought that was the purpose of photo stream...

    Photostream is streaming, not syncing service. So every device that you have will have photos from the time that photostream was enabled on that device. As long as photostream folder exists in your iphoto, you can force pictures into it. Just move or copy those pictures in photostream folder in iphoto on your Macs. They will get moved into icloud and downloaded to other devices. Remember that photostream is not designed to hold your pictures forever, just 30 days or 1000 pictures. Once 30 days is over it still stays on your computers, but is not in the cloud anymore.

  • Why did Photo stream not sync in iCloud

    Why didn't photo stream sync with iCloud on? I turned it on for both devices.

    Photo stream only adds photos taken on your device after turning it on.  Earlier photos aren't added.  New photos are added when the camera is closed, the device is connected to wifi and it has at least 20% battery life remaining.  Both devices also have to be sharing the same iCloud account to receive photos from your photo stream.  (If they aren't sharing the same iCloud account you would have to create a shared photo stream album and share this with your other device.  This article discusses how to do this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.)
    Try taking a new photo on one of your devices, close the camera app, then be sure you are connected to wifi.  Then see if it streams to your other device (assuming it is signed into the same iCloud account).

  • Why is Photo stream not updating on my MacBook?

    Photostream is still very, very slow which is a little disappointing.. I have a very fast 100mbps down and 5mbps up Cable Internet connection so there is no problem there.
    The main problem tha I have is the iPhoto seems to not want to update the Photostream. The photos have been slow to appear on ATV 2 and the iPad but have not appeared in iPhoto at all.
    Any thoughts or tips?
    Thanks in advance.

    Forgive the obvious questions, but you don't say what you've tried.
    Is the MacBook signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad and the ATV?
    Did you turn on Photo Stream in the iCloud Panel of System Preferences?
    Did you turn on Enable Photo Stream AND Automatic Import on the Photo Stream panel of Preferences... in iPhoto?

  • Why does photo stream duplicate photos on iOS?

    Until Yosemite comes out it seems that we're kind of stuck trying to figure out an "easy" way to have photos display on multiple devices. I've just started messing with iCloud & the photos and when I turn on photo stream it duplicates them into it's own folder. This just seems to be a massive headache and I don't want ALL my photos to sync but I also don't want to have to go through to make individual streams for everything I want to sync/share
    Anyone have a solution to this or do we just sit tight and hope they fixed this in iOS8?
    Seems like a big oversight/usability thing (much like having folders in photos be useless because you still have the master folder that everything stays in.)

    The photos that appear duplicated are actually there from two separate locations:
    1.  Photo Stream
    2.  From your Mac, an iPhoto event with a name such as "Aug 2014 Photo Stream"
    You can remove the photo from one of these sources on your Mac, and then you won't see what appear to be the duplication.

  • Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

    Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore.  I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures.  It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

    This issue is has been resolved.  The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

  • Why iPhoto photo stream re-download photos when restarted

    My iPhoto phto stream re-downloads the pictures everytime my computer restarts.  Photo stream doesn't turn off, just re-download, it is fraustrating when you have many pictures and re-downloads them all the time.  Is there a fix for this?

    Do you have HDR turned on on your iPhone camera? And if you do, is it keeping the original JPG? If it is, it will save two versions of each photo.
    Do you have HDR turned on:
    Go to Camera App
    Tap Options on screen
    See if HDR is turned on.
    Turn HDR off.
    Are you saving the JPG:
    Settings > Photos
    Turn off Keep Normal Photo
