ICloud My Photo Stream Folder empty on Vista PC, uploads working fine

Tried everything.
Pictures I place in the Vista "Uploads" folder appear on the iPad 2 Photo Stream folder via iCloud but when I take a picture
on the iPad 2 they never appear in the corresponding Vista "My Photo Stream" folder.
Noticed after installing the Vista applet on the PC only the "Uploads" folder was created automatically, had to create the "My Photo Stream"
folder manually. Again tried everything multiple times, logging out...re-starting....

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,

  • Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

    Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.  Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled.  When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos.  Is there a 64 bit version?

    Hello tw_mama,
    I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
    This section in particluar:
    I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Photos are not showing anymore in Photo Stream folder even though they are there.

    A couple of days ago my Photo Stream folder in iPhoto was suddenly empty. I checked and Photo Stream is switched on. I disabled it and switched it back on. Now You can see that Photo Stream is importing the images but when iPhoto is done, there are no photos in the folder. When taking a pic with my Mac it uploads as well into Photo Stream and shows up on my iPhone but in iPhoto Photo Stream still nothing.
    I tried manually adding pics but it tells me they are already there. Very strange.
    I also know that Photo Stream itself is working because it works to use Photo Stream as a screen saver and there all the pics show. So it must be a problem with iPhoto. I also did all the repair options for the Media Library that you can do when starting iPhoto. Nothing has changed the situation.
    Anyone any suggestions?

    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.

  • I copied the photos from my photo stream folder to a new folder on my macbook pro. I then deleted the phots in my photo stream folder. It erased them from the other folder as well. Why? Where did they go? Can I get them back? Please help. Thanks.

    Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.

    You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
    Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
    Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
    Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
    Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
    Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app.

  • 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.

  • Need help - my pics in photo stream on iphone do not all dowload to photo stream folder on my pc

    have photo stream pics on my iphone, when my iphone is connect to my PC, some of the photos do not download onto my photo stream folder on my PC - need help with this

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        •    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.

  • If I delete photos from my iPhone photos and photo stream, and they are not in the 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, do they go to the Recycle Bin on my PC, or disappear altogether?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been covered before.
    I deleted some photos from both 'Photos' and 'Photo Stream' using my iPhone. They are not in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, but do they go to the Recycle Bin or just disappear altogehter?
    Thanks.

    I am afraid not.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool and not a backup solution.
    If you change the Photo Stream on one device it pushes those changes to all devices.

  • How to download complete iCloud shared Photo Streams.

    I am really struggling here to understand why Apple does not have the option to download an entire iCloud shared Photo Stream. 
    So how I have set it up is to select the photos I want to share, choose Share from the menu, choose iCloud as the method, and select the option for Public Website.  Once the photos are uploaded and I visit that website I can only see a way to click each photo individually and then the Download button at the top right of the screen.
    As a work around I have copied those files out of iPhoto and to a Picasa web album which does allow for full album downloads.  This of course is an absurd way of sharing my pictures with my family.
    Someone please tell me there is a somewhat easy way to download and entire photo stream.  Maybe I am missing something quite easy.

    If your family members can use iCloud, they can download directly from the Shared Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture, also if the have a PC and iCloud, see:
    iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
    Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
    On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
    On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

  • Cannot access photos in photo stream folder

    PS Touch on my iPad iOS 8.2 cannot access photos in the photo stream folder.  They appear as blank boxes.  Why?  The photo stream folder contains photos that are shared across devices.  The photo stream folder appears in the app but when opened blank boxes appear where the photos should be.  After doing a search, I see this has been an ongoing problem for other users & uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the issue.  The workaround is to copy the photos into Camera Roll then import them from there.  Does Adobe plan to address this issue in a future update?

  • No photos in the photo stream folder

    I don't see any photos on my iPad 2 in the Photo stream folder after I have started to photo app several times. When I disable the photo stream function, restart the iPad and activate photo stream again It works. But only for a moment until I change to another subject like place, face etc. I have no problems with Photo stream on my iPhone, ATV or Mac Mini. Any suggestions?

  • How come when you delete a photo in photo stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the photo stream (iPhone)?

    If you upload a photo in the 'Photo Stream Uploads' folder (PC), it is automatically imported to iPhone (via Wi-Fi). How come when you delete a photo from the Photo Stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the Photo Stream (iPhone)?? I mean doesn't iCloud automatically update the changes? thanks.

    You cannot delete photos from the photo stream.  You can only log into icloud and in your account, you can delete photo stream and start fresh.  It is rumored that the next upgrade to iOS will allow deletions of single photos from the stream, but not yet.
