Icloud Photo Stream Options not working anymore

This is what I get instead of the options for upload and download folder

And that is why I told you that there is no problem with the phone, but you are more then welcome to pursue that theory.
But there is another folder on the laptop called "Uploads" (which the iCloud Control Panel program installed) which allows me to put pictures in to and they get sent back to my iPhone to appear in it's Photo Stream. This was working fine on my iPhone 4 earlier in the week, but since I have started using my iPhone 5, it won't send the pictures for some reason.
While any device is getting information from icloud it has to keep authenticated connection through the whole time. That is the reason I asked you to check your security on your computer, cause that connection is taking longer to upload then download. As with any advice, I may very well be wrong and you absolutely do not have to listen to my suggestions.
You associating that problem with changes of the phone, what you do not think of is the fact that your security changes every day. Updates on your antivirus, corporate firewalls.

My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped. Both computers are x64 bit.
Problems I am experiencing
A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream. An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
Confirmed all the warnings.
Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
iCloud has.
Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
So I'm back in business.
I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5. I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device. I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
This is really, really frustrating. I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Photo Stream is not working in Apple TV.

After upgrading to 5.1, Photo Stream is not working. An "Unable to sign in. The iCloud Terms of Service have changed" indication appears when trying to connect.
What should i do?
Thanks.

First thing first: are you logged in with the same Apple ID on the iPhone and the Apple TV?

My photo stream is not working.

my photo stream is not working on my pc

Hi..
Tap Settigns > iCloud
Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.
See if that made a difference...

HT201317 In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on. I Have latest iPhoto ?

In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on. I Have latest iPhoto ? Yet it tells me I need to update iPhoto or Aperture. How do I turn photo Stream on,? The FAQ were no help

On the mac, be sure that either iphoto or Aperture is the latest version.

I followed all of the steps to iCloud setup on PC and Photo Stream does not work

I have a Windows 7 PC, and an iphone 4. I upgraded to IOS 5 and did the iCloud setup with the download Control Panel app and set it up. However, when i take a photo with my iphone, the photo goes to my camera roll and does not go to my photo stream and there fore not to my PC photo stream folder on my PC.
So far Photo Stream does nothing. Also, Are we supposed to be able to see our photo stream if we login to iCloud? When logged in to iCloud, I see my contacts and mail and other stuff bu no Photo Stream.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jay Abbott

I figured out the answer to my question. Photo Stream will not sync unless your iphone is connected via Wi-Fi. Now I have to go find a Wi-Fi network to see if I am correct. I read the maunal, wow, what a concept.
I hope this helps others who don't read the manual but complain on the forums!

Photo stream is not working...?

I have noticed that in the past couple of weeks, photo stream has not been syncing photos from my iPhone to my iPad. I know that photo stream is on for the iPad, it's always on. Help.

Install the newly updated windows 7 client program, iCloud Control Panel for Windows v2.0, from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
This worked for me, although apple should have included this in the latest version of iTunes imo.
Maybe you have to reset your photo stream, it depends.
Newly made photos will appear in your photo stream folder on your PC, as photos made before you updated the iCloud client won't.

My photo stream is not working correctly. only importing some..help?

my photo stream is only importing some of my photos...settings all seem to be correct..any advise?

I'd advise you to provide details so we do not have to make wild guesses
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what exactly is happening? What have you tried to resolve this? How long have you waited for them to downad? have you looked at http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/photo-stream/ and verified tha tyour set up is correct and looked through the FAQs and troubleshooting tips? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked?

ICloud photo stream does not show all photos

I have 1000 photos is my photo stream, however on my Apple TV I just setup, I can only get 322 to show up in the iCloud Photo Stream. I've tried restoring and setting it up again, but I have the exact same numbers of photos.
Is there a reason I can only see 322 out of 1000 photos in my photo stream on the Apple TV?

I noticed the Apple TV was not displaying my photo stream after the update to 6.0. Here is what I did to get it to start displaying my photo stream again.
On your Apple TV go to Settings>iCloud
Click on iCloud Photo Settings
Turn off both the My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing options then turn them back on again
Select Photo Stream from the Settings menu and navigate to select the photo stream you want to use
Preview the slide show
I have about 400 images in the photo stream that I use to display on Apple TV and during the preview it took about two minutes before the images displayed.
Then I tested it in a normal setting where I have slide show starting after two minutes. The TV went to screensaver mode after two minutes and was black for about two minutes before the images appeared. Before the update the images would display shortly after the screensaver kicked on.
I hope this helps!

Apple TV streaming is not working anymore

Hello,
I´ve got the problem that streaming movies over my Apple TV is not working anymore.
My hardware specs are:
Apple TV 3. Gen Software 7.0.2.
iPhone 6 Software iOS 8.1.2
iMac 27" 2014 Software OS X 10.10.1
My network is unchanged since 2 or 3 years and works very fine and nothing needs to be changed.
All devices are connected in the same network. I see the streaming button for Apple TV on my iMac
as well as on my iPhone.
Streaming my purchases directly from Apple over Apple TV works very well. Streaming my own created
home videos does not work anymore.
Furthermore not all of my albums from iPhoto (latest version) on my iMac 27" are shown on my Apple TV in the
category "computer/my mediathek/photos"
I´ve got no idea and need some help and ideas to look for an solution.
Thanks a lot.
Sven Reike

That is just not true. There are some people who may experience issues but you can't judge based on what you see here, I have no problems updating and have done so numerous times.
If an update doesn't go through then you need to disconnect, grab a micro USB and restore in iTunes

Photo stream is not working on 4s.

Photo stream hasn't worked for over a week now. It seems to only work when I take a pic while connected to wifi but if I'm out somewhere, take pics, come home and connect to wifi it still won't stream my photos.

Hi Sillybearsmom,

Shared photo stream option not shown in settings

i downloaded ios 6 in around the first hour that it was launched and i cannot find the menu that can turn on shared photo streams. i have a 4th gen ipod touch. i looked in the settings under the photos and camera menu as well as the share button on a picture in my camera roll, and it is not there.

I just figured the solution out! It worked for me..
The iCloud terms of use has changed, so this option is disappeared. You have to agree with the new terms.
So delete the icloud from your iDevice and, add it again.
Hope it work 4 u..

Why photo stream is not working in my iPhone 4s with ios 6?

Since i update my iphone 4s to ios6, the photo stream function does not work.
After the ios 6 upgrade i checked that my photo stream photos, where there both in iphone and imac (i used iphoto, now i am using aperture..see comment below). Yesterday i delete the pictures from my photo stream and i tried to take new pictures to upload but all my attempts were failing.
Specifically, I have full battery and i am connected to wi-fi. I have the photo stream function "on", in the icloud settings, and i take a picture with my camera. I close the camera application and i go to the photo application to see this picture in "my photo stream". There is no picture there.
I have tried several things either from apple's trouble shooting guides or from several related discussions in forums, like opening and closing photo stream in iphone and imac. I reset photo stream from icloud and i even delete and recreate my icloud account. I closed the photo stream function both in my imac and iphone and i restarted them, but again no result. I hard reset the iphone and re-open photo stream
I have checked that i use the same icloud account and it is correct.
Another tip is that i recently upgrade Aperture to 3.4 in order to support photo stream. Since then i was using iphoto. The strange thing, is that after the upgrade, i lost the photo stream function in iphoto and i have it only in Aperture. In Aperture, I was able to see the photos i had photo streamed before the upgrade to ios 6
Furthermore, i tried to make a share photo stream and i shared a picture with my email address. I went to aperture where i can see the new shared photo stream folder but is is empty. In my iphone, i find the shared folder with the picture.
I really dont know what else to do because i have tried anything possible and i have search the whole web for a solution
Please help
thanks!

The current version of the Facebook app requires iOS 4.3 or later, as do many current or recent apps. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Regards.
