  • HT4906 iPhoto 09, iCloud and Photo Stream

    I have iPhoto 09, preinstalled via Snow Leopard.  I did the software update as instructed so that I could get the iCloud and Photo Stream.  However, I cannot get the check box available in iCloud to add Photo Stream.  Please help. Thank you.

    iPhoto 11 is required for PhotoStream.

    Then maybe you need to buy an update.

  • How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

    I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

    You don't move them to iTunes or an iTunes account.
    You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • HT201317 i lost my iphone and had it backed up to icloud and photo stream but i never plugged it into a computer since i had set up photo stream. is there a way to login to any mac device to view my photos or anything?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

  • I have had a iphone for a while with icloud and photo stream for my photos now i just put i cloud on my windows 8 now what?

    I have had icloud on my iphone 4 for a while have all my photos in photo stream i just now have windows 8 on my new laptop set up icloud and now i have no idea how to transfer my photo stream photos to my laptop or  itunes all with same account

    You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

  • ICloud and photo stream storage levels

    I have 50 gb of photos in my photo stream why can't I upload it to iCloud, I thought photo stream doesn't count against storage limit?

    Sorry, I accidently clicked the "This solved my question" thing and I couldn't see how to remove it.
    You cannot remove the "Solved" mark, sorry.
    Post your question again, with a slightly different title and mention everything you already have done to solve the problem.
    When you select the Photo Sream in the "Web" section, what do you see? I see a message "YOu are signed in as [email protected] Don't you see this message? You said, that you are signed into iCloud.

  • Storage management on iPhone with iTunes Match, iCloud and Photo Stream

    I had a 32GB iPhone 4, but my company got me a 16GB iPhone 5 (not complaining). However, now an occasional problem on my 4 is a showstopper on my 5: My various cloud services don't manage available space very well.
    Several times over the past few weeks I have been unable to take more photographs because there was no space available. I've also been unable to update apps for the same reason.
    I had imagined that iOS would cast out the least-played songs and maybe played with which photos are stored automatically when space was at a premium, but that does not appear to be the case.
    I am thinking of getting a new iPad now that LTE is in my area (my current iPad is wifi only), and imagined that iCloud and its various services would enable me to manage with 16GB nicely. That does not appear to be the case.
    Is this a common experience, or am I doing something wrong?

    I noticed the exact same thing happening to me last night. However appears to have removed all the music in every playlist local to my phone and I've had to go redownload them from iCloud. Has anyone figured out why this happens?? I havent touched or synced with my computer in a while so I can't figure out the cause.

  • How do I delete pictures from icloud and photo stream on my iPhone?

    I have the pictures on my iPhone 4S in photo stream that I would like to delete. How do I do that ? There are also pic's in my Photo Liberary that I want to delete,how do I do that also ?

    Just curious, what did you do to fix this?  Hide it in iTunes?  Delete all the music from your phone?

  • ICloud and photo stream not working

    icloud will not allow photostream. It said I need the newest iphoto. I just bought my mac over the summer with lion. It says it is 9.1.5 and I need 9.2. I tried to system update and checked the app store but nothing will let me update it. ***?

    Here's the download page for iPhoto 9.2 -
    iPhoto 9.2
    Note the System Requirements. Since you're on OS X 10.7.1, you'll probably need to update to OS X 10.7.2 in order to be able to use iPhoto 9.2.
    You can get the OS X 10.7.2 update here -

  • HT201317 what if my windows computer is not showing me the option to set up my icloud and photo stream, what do i do??

    how do i fix this??

    Only the previous owner can help you.  They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.

  • Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

    Hi Everyone,
    I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
    Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
    Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
    1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
    2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
    3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange  Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
    4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
    5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
    NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
    THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
    1. I  Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
    2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
    3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
    THE PROBLEM:
    The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
    SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
    I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

    Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing  the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

    I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream.  I've carefully sorted the photos in the album.  But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders.  In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
    Is there a fix?

    please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it!   Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums.  If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added.  Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new.  iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
    I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

    hey guys i just wanna ask you if you know any way how to recover pics deleted from my camera rol and photo stream, i deleted accidentally without backing it up on icloud, any ideas how i can get it back

    If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.
