HT4890 Question regarding uploading photos from iphone to icloud

my photo's aren't uploading from my iphone to my icloud.  What am I doing wrong?  I've got photo stream ON on my iphone but when I open my icloud account I have no access to pictures.  Help!

I think you are confused between Photo Stream and iCloud backup, which are two different services.
iCloud backup will backup your entire device. You are not able to access this backup from a computer, it is only used to restore your phone to its previous state.
iCloud backup and restore overview:

Photo Stream is a syncing service which will sync all devices set up with your Apple ID. It will only sync photos from the last 30 days, and since Photo Stream was enabled. Photo Stream does not count towards your iCloud storage space.

Older photos and videos will need to be transferred manually.

    The following link has 2 methods for importing photos to a Mac (not counting Photo Stream). Are you using iPhoto or Image Capture? If you follow the steps in the link for that method, what exactly happens that doesn't allow the upload? iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    I have this problem too. Photo stream works fine on iPhone+iPad, but the photos are never loaded to my PC (Win 8.1). My shared folders works fine on iOS and PC, but not My photo stram.
    In the beginning, a couple of years ago, it work, but not now (2014).
    All iOS are updated, and PC-iCloud software/panel is Active, and Photo stream is activated.
    What to do??
    Reset all streams on PC? I tried, no result.
    I can understand that it takes time to reload all Pictures from iCload to my PC, but I wait Days, weeks...

    Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store?  If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

  • Can't upload photos from iPhone or camera disk after installing iPHoto 9

    I installed iPhoto 9 from iLife 11 last week Since the installation (and subsequent installation of 9.0.1), I have not been able to upload photos from my iPhone 4 nor my camera SD card to my iPhoto library. When I plug in my iPhone or camera disk, I just get a spinning beachball plus the spinning spoke wheel in iPhoto and when I go to Force Quit, it always says NOT RESPONDING. Any ideas? I didn't lose any photos on the install just can't add any photos. I'm going to see a Mac Genius tomorrow.

    No, remember this was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is workign correctly, but that your Library isn't.
    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 rebuild from automatic back up.
    Regards

  • Cannot upload photos from iphone to iphoto

    Since upgrading my Mac to OS Mavericks I have lost the facility of uploading photos from my iPhone to iPhoto.
    I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and my phone runs iOS7 with iCloud.
    Some advice has said refer to iPhoto Preferences and use the iCloud link there, but there is no iCloud link in my Preferences.  I have tried to upgrade iPhoto, but discovered that it is only possible through iLife and I don't need all of that.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Give this a try:

    This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
    Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

  • Unreadable files when uploading photos from iphone 4s?

    I have been trying to upload photos from my iphone 4s which I took recently onto my mac laptop and they seem to be unreadable and aren't uploading for some reason?
    Any help appreciated.

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    iCloud doesn't offer general file storage.
    You can save files to iCloud from iCloud aware applications in the save dialog of such apps.

    To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
    WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too?  I just turned photo stream on on my computer.  Thank you.  Liz

  • Can't upload photos from iphone icloud to computer icloud

    I had called someone a while ago - I don't remember if it was Apple or whomever - now they want money for help.
    My photos from my iPhone 4s are not uploading to my computer, windows 8 when I connect my iPhone to the computer.
    Are the photos supposed to upload automatically on icloud or do I have to connect the iPhone to the computer?
    Either way, it doesn't upload the photos.

  • How to upload photos from iPhone to Mac

    My iPad seems to have automatic update of photos from my iPhone but not from my phoen to my Mac. How do i do this please?

    If your iPad has automatic upload of photos in the Camera Roll to iPhoto on your Mac, this means you have Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on your iPad.
    Do you have the same enabled on your iPhone?
    Syncing the iPad or your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac does not transfer or import photos from Camera Roll on each device. Photos and videos in the Camera Roll on each device can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. With a Mac that can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.
