ICloud photo stream not updating

I have been taking photos on my iPhone and I am having a couple of issues with photo stream
1. It is only uploading photos I have taken today, all the photos I have taken previously are not uploading automatically. Is that a way I can do this?
2. My iPad photostream isn't updating automatically, I am connected to wifi on both devices but I have to turn my iPad off then on again for the photos to upload.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)

  • All photos in icloud photo stream not saved in local mac library

    Basically, I have a shared icloud photo stream that is 1003 pictures, if I select all of them and say show in library, it only highlights 992 pictures on my local drive. Is there any way I can reimport a photostream?

    Hello asbreck,
    You can use these steps to reimport photos from a Shared Photo Stream. 
    To save photos from shared photo streams you subscribe to:
    Photos in shared photo streams are view-only. However, you can import the photos into your iPhoto library, apply edits, share the updated photos, and add them to your slideshows and books.
    In the Source list, select Photo Stream.
    Double-click the shared stream containing the photos you want to save.
    Select the photos.
    Import the photos into your library by dragging them to Events in the Source list.

    It's important to note that if some of these pictures are already in your library and you reimport them, you will have a duplicate of the picture.  If you can isolate the 11 pictures that are not in your library, I recommend importing just those 11 photos.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • TS3989 iCloud photo stream stopped updating today at about 4pm?

    I use iCloud photo stream via my PC  to upload photos to sites that are incompatible with my iPad  and iPhone. Today at about 4:00 iCloud stopped uploading photos from my iPad to my PC. It's been over 5 hours and nothing. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Does this have anything to do with the mail blackout yesterday, maybe the mail fix messed up photostream?  Are there any settings that could have been changed that I should check? If anyone has knows a way to deal with this...someone elsewhere said uninstalling iCloud on the PC then reinstalling it...can someone please tell me how to do that? Please help my business is at a complete standstill with no end in sight.

    Hello,
    For some reason, my images stopped syncing between my devices. I brought it up to one of the Genius Guys at the Apple store. They told me to go into my iCloud settings and delete the account on the device (first do a back up). Then they said for me to go back into the iCloud settings and re-enter my iCloud settings. It took a little bit for all the images to pop up, but it worked. Good luck to you.
    Cheers!

  • Photo stream not updating

    My Photo Stream is currently not updating in Photo's. The last picture imported from my photo stream was April 7th? Any trouble shooting for this? All preferences are checked to automatically upload pictures taken with my iPhone to my photo stream so they should be in the iCloud section of Photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try disabling both the My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing in Photos' iCloud Preference pane.  Close Photos, reboot, open and reenable them.  See if that will jumpstart the My Photo Stream.

  • My Photo Stream not updating in new Photos app

    I do NOT have iCloud photo library on, so why won't My Photo Stream update?

    Same issue here. I installed iCloud 4.0 for Windows, but it looks like this started before I did that according to when the photos stopped syncing. I've done what you described, but have gotten no photos on the PC since September 7, 2014. Photos are being shared from my iPhone to iPad just fine, though.

  • Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

    Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore.  I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures.  It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

    This issue is has been resolved.  The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

  • Why is my Photo stream not updating?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm running an iMac, iPhone and iPad, and have photo stream set up between them. I took some photos on my iPad, and set up a stream (to the best of my ability anyway - this is all abit new to me). The photos went to my iPhone easily enough, but I had to go into Tunes to look for them on my iPad. I asked iTunes to sync they did finally appear in iPhoto on my Mac.
    I then straightend and cropped them in iPhoto - these were clearly flagged up as being in Photo Stream - but this hasn't updated the photos on either my iPad or iPhone. Is it supposed to? I thought that's how the cloud worked? I have all boxes ticked in iCloud in iPhoto preferences.
    Any advice or info would be welcome. I'm not sure if this operator error, a cloud error, or I'm asking it to do something it can't.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Why is Photo stream not updating on my MacBook?

    Photostream is still very, very slow which is a little disappointing.. I have a very fast 100mbps down and 5mbps up Cable Internet connection so there is no problem there.
    The main problem tha I have is the iPhoto seems to not want to update the Photostream. The photos have been slow to appear on ATV 2 and the iPad but have not appeared in iPhoto at all.
    Any thoughts or tips?
    Thanks in advance.

    Forgive the obvious questions, but you don't say what you've tried.
    Is the MacBook signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad and the ATV?
    Did you turn on Photo Stream in the iCloud Panel of System Preferences?
    Did you turn on Enable Photo Stream AND Automatic Import on the Photo Stream panel of Preferences... in iPhoto?

  • Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
    I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

  • HT201317 photo stream not updating

    Photos added to iPhone 4 Photo Stream folder do not update in PC folder.  iCloud is enabled on phone and Windows 7, phone is Wi-Fi connected.

    You may have enabled iCloud on your devices, but did you also turn on photo stream?  Check in Settings>iCloud on the iPhone.  Check the PC as well, but I don't know where that's done, as I use a Mac.

  • Photo stream not updating on windows PC

    icloud used to work with my ipad and download the photos to My Photo Stream. It has stopped doing this. I have now connected an iphone to the cloud and all the photos have downloaded to it. Why will the photos not update to my windows PC?
    If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream it will only update some of the photos for a two week period. (back in November last year).
    Any assistance would be welcome.

    Hello,
    Sorry for the trouble. That shouldn't happen! I am Vineeth and I am from the Norton Support team.
    Can you please disable the Smart Firewall feature in your Norton product temporarily and see whether you can update the iCloud photos? If you can do that, then we may need to allow the iCloud application under the firewall.
    Thanks!

  • Icloud photo strean not updating

    I'm using the latest version of icloud on windows 8.1 and the photo stream is not updating. What should I do? I've tried sign out and reinstall it and it's still not updating new pictures.

    I end up using onedrive instead. Apple really did a great job in hardware engineering but ***** at software especially on windows platform.

  • Photo stream not updating in Photos on iMac

    My photos stream is working on iPhone and iPad but not on the iMac - it accesses photos from about 10 days ago, that's from before Photos was installed but it won't automatically pick up new photos taken on iPhone or iPad since Photos replaced iPhoto.
    If I mail the new photos to myself I can import them into my photo library but they aren't appearing in the photo stream.
    I have iCloud photo sharing turned off because I have w-a-a-ay too many photos in my library to store that way. Shouldn't Photo Stream work independently of iCloud photo sharing?

    I was able to force a download of my photostream by disabling Automatic Import and Automatic Upload in Preferences>Photostream.

  • Photo stream not updating from camera

    I've been having a days worth of trouble with my iphone camera.  Pictures are in the camera roll but never move to the photo stream.  If I connect the phone to my mac, and import the pictures into iphoto and THEN into photo stream, the pictures show up.  This is not how stream is supposed to work.  Any thoughts?  I've turned the cloud settings on and off, the stream never fully syncs.

    Hi MacTeacher,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that 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%.

  • Photo stream not updating between iPad and iPhone

    This feature used to work fine but now it doesn't, help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rshoe1212.
    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.
    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.
