HT4858 My iCloud stopped sharing photos with my other devices. Im in wifi and settings are the same. any advice?

Why would my iphone 5 stop sharing with my ipad 2 on the cloud with my photos. they havent shared in 3 days any photos

You may have to save any photos that are not in your camera roll to your camera roll on both devices, then turn photo stream off, and (after a few seconds) back on to get things working again. (If you don't save them to your camera roll, you will lose photos older than 30 days as older photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud.)

ICloud not sharing photos from iPhone to my iPad

My iPhone photos are no longer sharing with my iPad.
I receive a message on my iPad there there is an SSL failure and the account cannot be verified.
I am long way from home and do not want to trial and error the problem.
Is someone able to tell me how to fix this, please?
Cheers

Well, you are not going to get the problem fixed until you delete the iCloud account and sign back on with it again. Your photos are the most important thing to protect. I have deleted and re-signed onto my iCloud account many times and have never lost anything except an "extended" photo stream from doing so.
On that occasion, my Photo Stream probably had about a year's worth of photos. Of course, I had imported everything to my PC because I have iPhoto set up to import and save my Photo Stream, so it wasn't an issue. However, when I signed back on, my Photo Stream was only out there for the past month. That is because iCloud only has the last month or last 1000 photos (whichever comes first).
But if you save your any Photo Stream photos you might be concerned about to your Camera Roll, then you can delete the iCloud account. If you are nervous about losing your Contacts, you can keep them on the phone. Then finish the deletion of the account and then sign back on.
Cheers,

Having issues with iCloud and sharing photos

Been having issues sharing photos on Photo Streams. Every time I try to share with someone else all I can see is that I invited myself and I own the photo stream...even though my wife started the photo stream on her phone with her email address.
I also can't share photos with anyone.

Hi,
Do you mind telling us what is the previous and new version of Office? From Excel 2003 upgrade to Excel 2007 or later version?
If it is, the issue may be caused by the file format, we should make sure that the workbook is being saved in native Excel 2007/2010 format. If you are saving it in the older Excel 97-2003 format, then it is possible that the losses you are seeing are
due to the formatting not being supported in the older format.
Then, we may try the workaround: Transfer your data from the current workbook to a new workbook and then see if the problem occurs in the new one.

HT4906 why doesn't iPhoto shared photo stream update

I have created a shared phot stream on my IOS devices and they update ok.
I have invited others and they are allowed to post.
I can see all posted photo's on all IOS devices.
I cannot see any phot's posted by oyhers on my Mac in iPhoto.
iPhoto updates fine when I post from an IOS device but does not when someone else posts.
Ny ideas how I can see all shared photo's in iPhoto on my Mac the same as all the IOS subscribers

Are your IOS devices on IOS 7? And have your shared streams been created on IOS 7?
iPhoto '11 on Mt. Lion is not yet fully compatible with the new Shared Photo Streams format on IOS 7 devices. It does not yet allow two-way sharing of streams. The photos that others add to your shared photo streams are not visible in iPhoto '11. You will have to wait for an iPhoto '11 update, that will bring the full compatibility with the new Photo Steam formats and probably will come with the next MacOS X release Mavericks.

Photostream, iCloud Photo Sharing, iPhoto, my phone, and use cases all around

I have a fre pretty basic use case questions about Photostream.
I take a lot of pictures on my iPhone. They magically appear in iPhoto on my Mac. I'm told that by having the import feature in iPhoto turned on, those photos will stay in iPhoto on my iMac forever - or at least after I pass the 30 days/1,000 most recent photos limits.
So that leaves me to ask: what am I supposed to do with the photos on my phone? Just leave them there to eat up storage? Or delete them at some point? Delete all the photos on my phone after I import those that Photostream hadn't already captured? Is there any benefit to importing a duplicate photo if I have Photostream importing turned on? And are they truly, really duplicate photos? Are the iPhone photos in my Photostream duplicated on my phone until they fall out of Photostream? Are iPhone photos duplicated if they're in a shared stream?
I just don't know what I should do with the photos on my iPhone once they're on my iMac, and I'm not truly confident that they're on my iMac for good or that they're truly the same file as the original.

on the mac/iphoto, move photos in the Photo stream group into some other album.
foatbttpo1567,In iPhoto on a mac you need to download the photos to an event - not an album. An album would only reference them in the photo stream, but not store the photos in the iPhoto library. Turning on "Automatic Import", as Old Toad suggested, will do that and create monthly events.
I'm told that by having the import feature in iPhoto turned on, those photos will stay in iPhoto on my iMac forever - or at least after I pass the 30 days/1,000 most recent photos limits.
The 30 days/1000 photos limit applies to the temporary storage in iCloud - the time you have to grab them and to import them. Once they are in an event, you have them safe.
So that leaves me to ask: what am I supposed to do with the photos on my phone? Just leave them there to eat up storage? Or delete them at some point? Delete all the photos on my phone after I import those that Photostream hadn't already captured?
Photo Stream is a handy feature for transmitting photos, but don't rely on it for permanent storage. If you ever have to reset your iPhone or reinstall your Mac, or to reset the photo stream, your photos from the stream may be gone. Keep always a copy of your photos either in the Camera roll on your phone or in iPhoto events on your mac, and make sure that these copies are regularly backed up.
As for the "truly duplicates" - Photo stream will send optimized versions to the devices, but to a mac the full original version. You may want to read the FAQ: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

HT202786 Why is iCloud photo sharing using phone capacity?!

My spouse and I use iCloud photo sharing all the time. We both take photos and videos of our kids and events and put them in our shared albums so we both can view. Then we delete them off of our phone to save space. But we both have been getting the message, on our phones, that our storage is full and can't take pictures. We have discovered in Settings>About, that those photos and videos are taking up our phone's capacity! If the pics are in the cloud, and not on our phone, why are they taking up phone space!?

Thank you for your response. But, I was also emptying my recently deleted folder as well. I think those numbers was a glitch for me because once I updated to the latest iOS, those numbers went down to what they should be. BUT, iCloud photo sharing is still using my phones storage. When I go to settings>general>usage>manage usage>photos>shared photo stream is using a few GB. And when I add photos or videos to a shared photo stream, that number goes up.
I don't understand why photos and videos in the "cloud" are using up my storage.

IOS 8 Photo Sharing not available

After updating to iOS 8 Photo Sharing is not available on some iPads 4s while it is on others. I have checked setting to make sure Photo Sharing is turned on.
On one iPad 4 running iOS 8.0 all is working fine. Under iCloud > Photos > I see iCloud Photo Library (Beta) it is turned off; My Photo Stream turned on; and iCloud Photo Sharing turned on. If I go under Photos & Camera I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned off, My Photo Stream turned on; iCloud Photo Sharing on; and Summarize Photos also on.
On another device that is also running iOS 8.0 under iCloud > Photos > there is only My Photo Stream. That is all that shows up there. If I go to Photos & Camera I see My Photo Stream turned on, Summarize Photos turned on. The other settings mentioned above are not even there to turn on.
I tried re-inviting the other person to the Shared Photo Stream and she got the email on the iPad and Accepted the invite and received a message to turn on Photo Sharing in settings. Everything is on that can be turned on.
This is not the only iPad doing this. We have a number of them having the problem within our school after updating to iOS 8.
I should mention the Photo Sharing was working before the update on the devices and the shared photo stream is working on her MacBook.
Anyone with any idea on what could be causing this and a fix?
Thanks,
Gordon

Nope! That was the problem, I didnt even think about Voice Dictation being part of Siri..
Thank you very much for your help and quick response!

Shared Photo Stream Phone Storage

Hi,
If I or a family member share a photo or video to a shared photo stream, is that going to take away storage space on my phone?

I think the iCloud Photo Sharing Photos and Videos are only downloaded and kept on the device until it is near full. Then the shared photos and videos get marked for deletion until the shared photo stream is looked at again.
If the user wants to permanently keep the photos or videos on their device, they will have to save them to their camera roll.

IPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made

iPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made
with iPhone 6, latest iOS

Hey Vivian Su,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues sending iCloud Photo Sharing invitations. The following resource may provide some insight into your issue, along with a potential resolution:
Get help using iCloud Photo Sharing and shared albums - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201077
I sent email invitations to my shared album, but not everyone received one.
Try these steps:
Ask the invitees to check their junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Send the invitation again. An invitee might not get the message if their mailbox is full, or if there's a filter that prevented the invite from being delivered.
If they didn't get the invitation, ask the invitee for another email address that you can send the invitation to. If you're using iOS 7 or later, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that they use for iMessages.
Ask the invitee if they've ever received an invitation, and if they might have unsubscribed from iCloud Photo Sharing emails. They can use the steps below to get email invitations again.
If they still don't get the invite, contact Apple Support for help.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Issue with Photo sharing

How do I share photos in a way that they are not deleted from my i cloud if I inactivate i cloud from a device?

Hello Omidfromca,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?

I shared more than 3000 pictures in icloud, but when I try to watch them in another device I can only see 300. Is there a limit on the number of pictures I can share?

I shared more than 3000 pictures in icloud, but when I try to watch them in another device I can only see 300. Is there a limit on the number of pictures I can share?

Quick Answer: Yes.
If you are looking at My Photo Stream, check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,

Why are my icloud photo sharing albums taking up storage on my phone?

I am confused why if icloud photo sharing albums are supposed to have unlimited cloud storage why my icloud photo sharing albums are taking up storage on my iphone?

iCloud is syncing your Shared albums with your devices. All photos you share to iCloud are synced to the devices that subscribe to the shared album.
If you want to save storage on your device, store your photos in iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and activate the option "Optimize Storage".
See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.
