I've been on my icloud and my photo stream isn't on there, but it used to update them to my PC so where has it gone?

My iphone used to upload photos to my PC via icloud but recently I keep getting an error message on applephotostreams.exe has stopped working.  I have been on my icloud account as suggested to reboot my photo stream but said photo stream is not on my icloud.  I haven't deleted it or fiddled with any settings on my phone, PC or icloud account.  Where are all my photos being stored? How has it been syncing them to my PC? I am confused, can anybody help?

Recall that photo stream only keeps photos on the cloud servers for 30 days, after which they are deleted.  If on the PC you turned off photo stream and then turned it back on, you will only get photos that are currently in the stream, which may be none.
As a general rule, always sync photos to a computer (via USB to itunes or photo stream) and once on the computer, move them into a permanent folder/album.

  • When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll?

    When I take a photo it goes to camera roll and my photo stream. This doubles the memory being used. Can I delete the camera roll? This seems pointless to have the same pictures twice. My Photo Stream pictures upload to my PC, so why should I have the same photos in Camera Roll?
    Am I supposed to delete pictures in camera roll after they go into My Photo Stream? Why can't I just take a picture and it go to photo stream on its own? My camera roll AND My Photo Stream go back to March 11, 2014

    You're misinformed and have asked several questions that I'll try to tackle.
    No it doesn't double the memory. The Photo Stream image is simply a pointer to what you have in your camera roll.
    If you delete pictures from your camera roll, leaving them only in Photo Stream, you will lose those images forever if you don't then pull them out of Photo Stream on another connected device. Photo Stream is meant to be TEMPORARY cloud storage for your images. Read about it here: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    You should ALWAYS offload your images if you want to keep them. See how to do that here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • Get rid of iCloud and save photo stream pics

    Every time I sync my iPhone to computer, it re-saves all my pics to phone - I now have them double & triple saved - 4200!  I can't delete pics from phone. Photo stream is on but don't need it.  If I plug in to sync again, I'll then have hudreds more pics.  Help!

    You can disable iCloud on your device, or in iTunes by deselecting "Sync this device via iCloud" or the other option of using your computer.  You unfortunately can not roll back iOS 5 to earlier iOS versions (4.3.3 for example).

  • After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

    After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
    I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
    Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
    There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

    An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
    If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    The relevant section is:
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

  • How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

    How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

    Hi yvrtoakl,
    I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by "uploaded onto iCloud". If you are referring to videos synced to iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library feature, you may find the following article helpful:

    On the other hand, if you are talking about video files that have been stored on iCloud using iCloud Drive, then this article may be of more use:

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

    What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

    If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on  PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

    HELP HELP

    To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
    It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
    The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
    Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
    As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
    Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

  • How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

    How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • 71 Days and counting - Photo Stream still grayed out in iCloud

    71 Days and counting and Photo Stream still grayed out in iCloud CP since problem first discussed with Apple. No help, just reported to software engineers for investigation. Two months ago! So much for Apples's superior products and customer service.
    Photo Stream works fine between 2 iPhone 4Ss and one iPad2.
    Completely removed iTunes, per tech help instructions, and completely remove iCloud.
    Downloaded latest iTunes
    Reinstalled iTunes.
    Downloaded latest iCloud
    Reinstalled iCloud.
    Logged in to iCloud on PC
    Photo Stream still grayed out on PC iCloud Control Panel.

    I have posted a fix that works for two issues:
    You can't sign onto iCloud Control Panel;  just hangs with a spinning progress wheel forever..
    You CAN sign onto iCloud Control Panel, but things like photostream are greyed out
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811063?tstart=30
    If you have iCloud control panel open, close it. Make sure its not even minimized on your system tray.
    Copy this path to your clipboard: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
    Goto 'start -> run' (or click 'windows+r' hotkey)
    Paste the path in the run box and hit enter
    From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
    Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
    Apparently MobileMeAccounts.plist is getting screwed up in a couple different ways and prevents this from working correctly.  After you log on control panel again, photostream will not be greyed out.  You will have to reselect your custom path you want to store your pictures unless you just wanted to stick with the default path control panel is set to.

    I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question!  I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season.  But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop.  How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

    You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
    As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
    But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.
