I have photo stream selected in iCloud and in iphoto and there is nothing in icloud when i sign in.  Why?

Any assistance would be appreciated.  I haven't been able to get icloud to work for me since I got my macair.  All operating systems and apps are up to date.
Thanks.

Photo stream will only sync new photos (since it was turned on), not old photos.  Use the old USB method to sync old photos from device to the mac.
If you HAD photos in photo stream some time ago, photos are only stored on the stream for up to 30 days, so if those have been there for some time, then they are probably deleted.

  • TS4108 how do I transfer photos in photo stream to a different file in iPhoto to clear up space in iCloud?

    Hw do I transfer photos from photo stream to a different file in iphoto so I can clear up space in icloud?

    Photo stream photos don't use your personal iCloud account storage so deleting or moving them will not free up any space in your account.
    That said, if you still want to move them from photo stream in iPhoto, import them to your library by control-clicking on the photo and choosing Import.  You can set iPhoto to automatically import photo stream photos to your library by going to iPhoto>Preferneces>iCloud and checking Automatic Import:

  • How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

    How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

    Syncing notes with iCloud requires it have the correct email address linked, as notes get synced with an email address.
    Now, assuming that you have successfully set that up, though most people don't first time around, then if you deleted the note from the phone, it will have deleted from iCloud as well.
    Meaning, unless you have that note located in a backup in iTunes or iCloud you won't be able to get it back.
    You can restore the iTunes backup simply by connecting to itunes and hitting restore backup. Only thing is, any info that changed since the backup was made will be lost. (i.e. if your backup is a month old, your phone will look like it did a month ago, and only have that info on it.)
    Or, you can restore from iCloud, which requires erasing all content and settings, then selecting that backup. SO, you can see the predicament.

  • TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream.  Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on.  Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

    I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro.  However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro.  All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks.  What setting is wrong?

    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 wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • If I have photo stream on, can I delete my photos on camera roll and still have the photos?

    I Need more room on my phone. I have a lot of photos and I have photo stream on. if I delete all my photos in camera roll, will I still be able to keep the photos in photo stream? My phone is not backed up to a computer, and I don't want to risk losing the photos.

    I have photo stream on and took photos recently and cant find them on my computer. I tried restarting the computer but still nothing. How do I get them on photo stream?

    Try the following on your MBP:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Is it necessary to have photo stream "on"  in ICloud?

    Is it necessary to have "photo stream" turned ON in ICloud?

    I have been usung Mobile Me and not turned On the photo stream but rec'd a message from Apple saying I needed to activate the photo stream and Documents within the next few days.  Would this mean all my photos etc would not be synced( pushed) if I don't.  I am fairly new to all of this so forgive my naivety.

    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • HT201077 i have photo stream on my mac and iphone, not on iPad.  ideas

    I cannot get photo stream on my ipad.  There were older photos on ipad, deleted those, the new do not show up.
    Second, cannot see photo stream in my icloud account?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    You're welcome.  iCloud only keeps your photo stream photos in iCloud for 30 days (even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted).  I assume it's because photo stream is completely free, and doesn't count against your iCloud storage plan, so Apple had to place limits on how much is stored and for how long.  As a result, they don't attempt to make them available on icloud.com.
    If you want to be able to access photo stream photos on the web you have to create a shared photo stream as a public website, as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99. Then you will be given a link to view them from any computer.

  • HT4890 I do not have photo stream on my i cloud menu. How do I get it there?

    I do not have photo stream as part of my i cloud menu, what do I need to do to add it to the main menu?

    Photo Stream is a part of iCloud that lets your devices sync photos from your ID connected devices but its not viewable from the iCloud servers (iCloud.com).
    Instead it "pushes" your images taken on iOS 5.1 devices to your other devices (Mac, iPhone and others).

  • My photo stream is setup on my iPhone 5 and my ipad 2. I take picture on my phone and I can't find them on my ipad? I read where it said they go to your photo stream album...but where is that at?

    This may be a silly question but I can't find my pictures. I have photo stream setup on my iPad 2 and my iPhone 5. I also have iCloud on and I setup my email address. I even tried turning photo stream off and back on. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi uscammie,
    The My Photo Stream album does not appear when iCloud Photo Library is enabled. If this feature is enabled on your iPhone, it's storing your iPhone's photos in the cloud.

  • Cannot access shared Photo Stream on OS X 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4

    I have updated my OS to 10.8.2 and iPhoto to 9.4. I am logged in to iCloud and have Photo Streams enabled. However, when I click on the email invitation to a friend's Photo Stream, it redirects me to the Get Started page. What am I doing wrong? I am in Mexico and he is in NJ, is that is issue?

    Me too. My wife can see my PS on her phone and iPad, but we can't get it to work on the Mac, which has PS enabled and has all the latest updates. Bit rubbish, this.
