HT4906 photo stream is not  starting

photo stream is not working in my mac mini

I was seeing the same thing. It just wasn't working any longer. I also thought it was broken. I'd read the "setup", checked my settings. My iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) Photo Stream is set to "On".  My MacAir (OS 10.8.2) >System_Preferences>iCloud>Photo_Stream(checked)>Options>My_Photo_Stream(checke d)
I'd take a photo with my iPhone and it would no longer would automatically stream to my iCloud and then to my MacAir and iPad.
However, I just found the problem...I had my WiFi turned off on my iPhone and as soon as I turned it back on, the photos streamed to my MacAir. Problem solved.

  • HT4906 Photo Stream will not remain checked in my system preferences

    I have photo stream on my phone and ipad.    2 problems are calendar does not update to phone and photo stream cannot connect with computer.   I keep checking it in the system preferences and it doesn't connect and unchecks itself.

    That has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try posting in the iCloud forum or the forum for your OS

    Curretly, there is an iCloud blackout.  It started this morning around 2AM California time (Pacific), 5AM New York (Eastern).  A lot of people have been having issues all day, including me.  No iCloud services are online.  Even Find My iPhone is down.

  • HT4906 Photo Stream not working

    I have iphoto 9.  Suddenly Photo Stream is not working...no photos taken are coming to my desktop from iPhone 4 or iPad 2.  In system preferences, iCloud, it says I need to update, but software update says everything is up to date.  I am confused.  Do I need to update to Life 11?

    IPhoto '09 does not support photo stream. You need iPhoto '11. Latest version is 9.2.3.
    From '09 to '11 in an upgrade not an update.

  • My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

    I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped.  Both computers are x64 bit.
    Problems I am experiencing
    A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
    B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
    C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream.  An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
    D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
    I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
    I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
    I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
    Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
    I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
    I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
    I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
    I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
    I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
    Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
    Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
    Confirmed all the warnings.
    Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
    Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
    iCloud has.
    Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
    Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
    So I'm back in business.
    I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
    My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
    ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5.  I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device.  I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
    I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
    This is really, really frustrating.  I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
    Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

    Hi all.  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 correctly 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…

  • Photo stream is not enabled

    Problem:
    My photo stream on my PC is not uploading photos from my iPad and iPod.
    I get the message "Photo Stream is not enabled. Sign into iCloud to view Photo Stream" 
    When i go to iCloud in Control Panel, I am signed into iCloud on my PC (with Windows 7).
    When i click on Photo Stream, and click on Options, I am not given any choices with the Options, even after  i click Apply.
    My iCloud Photo Stream was working a month ago!
    Help!

    First make sure iCloud and Photo Stream are installed on your PC. Connect the iPad (or iPhone) to your PC with the USB cable and start iTunes on your PC. Once your iPad/iPhone shows up under "Devices" in the sidebar (which you may have to enable), click it. Then click "Photos" at the top of the iTunes screen on your PC. Check the "Sync Photos from" box, and then under that, click "Selected folders." (Ignore the pulldown menu to the right of "Sync Photos from" -- the important thing is to tick "Selected folders.")  A pane should open up below that with a list of folders including "Photo Stream." Choose that and then at the bottom of the screen click Sync. This worked for my Windows 7 box.

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • Shared photo stream is not showing up in settings for iPhone 5 or ipad

    Hi there
    I am trying to set up a shared photo stream however the option is not coming up on either my iPhone 5 or my iPad (3).
    I have tried adjusting the settings (Settings/Photos&Camera/Shared Photo Stream), switching it on & off as well as switching on iCloud again to see if new T&Cs pop up as suggested in other posts - no joy!
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    On your device using iOS 6, try quitting and re-opening the Photos app:
    Quit Photos.
    From your Home screen, click your Home button twice. Your open applications should appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
    Scroll to find the Photos icon. Press the icon until the icons jiggle.
    Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Photos icon. The icon should disappear from the list.
    Tap the Home button again to return to normal operations.
    Also check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

  • Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

    Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.
    We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.
    System is Windows7 64 bits

    I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

  • HT201317 why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • My photos in Photo Stream do not download to my iPad 3.

    My photos in Photo Stream do not download to my iPad 3 using iOS 7.  The photos are in Photo Stream on all other devices.  I've toggled the settings & reset the iPad but it does not resolve.  I can take a photo with my iPad 3 & it moves to Photo Stream & to all of my other devices but no photos download to the iPad.

    Try quitting the Camera app or restarting the iPhone. Do they upload to the Photo Steam after that?
    Take a look at Apple's Photo Stream FAQ.
    On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

  • Photo Stream is not working in Apple TV.

    After upgrading to 5.1, Photo Stream is not working.  An "Unable to sign in. The iCloud Terms of Service have changed" indication appears when trying to connect.
    What should i do?
    Thanks.

    First thing first: are you logged in with the same Apple ID on the iPhone and the Apple TV?
