why doesn't a photo stream icon appear on icloud. It's been enabled in settings and iphoto?

Because it isn't supposed to.
Photostream is for sharing photos across your devices.

Why isn't my photo stream backing up to iCloud anymore?

I have all the boxes ticked for my phone to automatically back up and it has been backing up photos until Nov 19th. I've tried manually backing up and also exiting out of the camera ap on my phone, but I just can't get my photos I've taken since Nov 19th into my iCloud, I have plenty of storage too.

I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Why doesn't a photo in iphoto5 appear in the iphoto library window?

I dragged a picture I received via email into iphoto. There I was able to correct the red eye. But, when I tried to upload it into a web page, it did not appear in the library folder. It appears in the photo library, but not in the folder. Why? I had to drag it on the desktop and then upload.

Hi Rebecca,
the title of this Apple doc lights a different aspect, but maybe it helps with your problem:

HT2513 why doesn't data entered in ical appear on iCloud

I've just moved from a 4 year old Mac Book to an Air. I'm going to enjoy the cloud features, and am learning some of the nuances. What I noticed this morning is that when I enter data on ical on the computer, it does not appear to be updating the cloud calendar where the reverse is happening perfectly. Am I wrong to assume this should happen?
Does anyone have a tried and true resource that they use for icloud as I would like to share with some soon to be newbies in the house.
Many thanks!

Check which calendar (in iCal/Calendar) you are entering the events on, there may be 2, On My Mac and iCloud, you should be using iCloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

I have two Photo Stream icons on my iPhone. How do I delete one of them?

I have two Photo Stream icons under Photos on my iPhone 4. One is active (receiving photos taken within minutes) and the other one has not been updated for atleast 2 weeks. I would like to remove the one that isn't receiving any new photos. Help.
Best,
D

As stedman said, if you mean the original, built-in Camera app from Apple, that cannot be deleted. You'll need to simply 'hide' the app in another folder, or perhaps turn on Restrictions and disable access to the Camera App, which may or may not interfere with the 'new' Camera App you have.

Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto? Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library. However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library. Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream? if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

I do not see a Photo streaming icon when I open iCloud. What would cause that?

The cloud icon means you've already downloaded those Apps in the past and they are in your purchased history.
For payed apps this would allow you to redownload them without having to pay again.
Just tap on the cloud icon to start the download.

HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8. I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go. It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately). It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps. The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps. It also does not readily display photo informations. The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto). I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together. My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam. In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off. As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users. I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward. Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other. Can anyone verify?

Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone. Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have iCloud

My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have icloud.

As for iCloud Settings, make sure, that in Settings > iCloud "Photo Stream" is turned on, on both the phone, and the iPad. If that is the case, make sure you are in the right photo-folder on the iPad (in your case). You might be in the "Saved Photos" folder, into which the new photos are NOT automatically downloaded. If that is the case, know the following: It make take a while though for photos to be uploaded to iCloud and then downloaded again by the other device, depending on the network. Give it some time, say 10-15 minutes (check your internet connection before that). If it still doesn't work, try an iCloud backup (Settings > iCloud > Backup to iCloud) on both your devices.

HT204053 I don't see a photo stream choice in my iCloud on my iPad. How do I restore it

I don't see a photo stream choice in my iCloud on my iPad. How do I restore it

Insufficient information. A few questions that may help somebody here help you:
Does your use of the term "restore" indicate it used to be there and now is missing, or have you not tried it before?
What model iPad do you have?
What version of iOS does it run?
