ICloud photos doesn't sync with PC after iOS 8 installation on iPad

After installing iOS 8 on my iOS devices (3), photos no longer sync with my PC. Sync worked ok before the iOS so-called 'upgrade', but now it doesn't. Contacts and Calendar seem still to sync, but not photos. Once again, Apple runs ahead with changes without bothering to think through how the so-called improvements will affect services that worked fine before. I'd dearly love it if someone could help to make photo sync work again. Thanks.

ICloud Photos will not sync with iPhone4s

So, I just left the Genius bar where we needed to a due a full reset of my iPhone4s.
Before the hard reset of my phone, I had 318 photos on my iPhone photostream and 319 in camera and all were backed up to iCloud. Due to numerous reasons, Apple does not want me to restore my phone settings from the back-up version saved on my computer, so I must recreate the best I can.
The biggest issue I am having is, we checked to make sure I back up to icloud before we did a full reset of the phone. After the reset and at the Genius bar, we checked to make sure the photos were starting to download. However, only 39 photos downloaded. And now I can't get the remaining photos to sync from iCloud.
I think what happened is the phone was plugged in to the airbook for the reset, we saw photos downloading (and thought, phew that worked) unplugged the phone to complete the rest of the phone set up. And some how they stopped downloading mid stream.
If you go to iCloud back-up option it's scary...states it will DELETE all photos from iCloud and back-up with what is on your phone. In my case, I need what's in iCloud to my phone.
If no-one has a suggestion, I am going to restore my phone to my 'bad' back-up, make sure they are saved on a hard drive, and then go back to the genius bar for a full reset.
PS: Why can't I see my photos in iCloud???

Again, thank you for the replies. Here is the update to my situation.
After your suggestions, I did a complete restore to my iPhone4s from the backup version saved on my computer harddrive. It only yielded 295 photos.   I was able to download the photos from the back-up to my computer hardrive, so I know they are safe!! Then I called Apple and asked how do I get the 39 photos hijacked in iCloud to stream to my phone. And I was told if I was very patient, they would download to my phone overnight. And in the morning all of the photos would be there. Patience, not my strong point, but for the sake of my photos I was!
Any bets to if they are on the phone or not????
Well they are not, so I quickly learned, that another issue unbeknownst to me, is iCloud has not been working...whether this is a software, carrier or other issue, who knows. Its not working. And the 295 photos in my phone right now will not stream to iCloud!   The only photos being sent to iCloud are those from the last hard reset made in July (39 photos).
So I called Apple again, they are most, most, most confident the 37 (I deleted two yesterday) will download to my phone after I reset and establish my iPhone as new. I told the only way to delete photos from iCloud is do press the setting in the iCloud app online.
It really stinks that the 295 on my phone will not stream to iCloud. I guess in the grand scheme it appears I'll have all of my photos, but they will never be joined together in iCloud or on my iPhone.
I'll do a reset tonight and see if I can't the 37 iCloud photos to stream.
Please learn from my lesson. iCloud / photostream doesn't always work. Complete frequent hard back-ups of your phone so this too doesn't happen to you.
BTW - The Apple Genius/Supervior I spoke to gave me her contact information (email and voicemail) to contact her directly if I have any other issues. Wow, that's amazing!

TS4006 my iCal in my new MacBook Air doesn't sync with the iCal data in my iPad despite having it "checked" (ON) in the system preferences iCloud. what else do i have to do to activate the iCal and have sync with my iPad?

Issue: iCal
I can't sync the iCal in my new MacBook Air with the existing iCal in my iPad. I went to system preferences (settings) to iCloud and checked the iCal to enable it to sync to my existing iPad iCal. Still nothing happened. It's strange because i successfully synced my contacts doing the same thing. Is there anything I have to have my iCal activated in my new MacBook Air?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Icloud photos still not syncing with windows 8.1

i've tried all the solutions i can find on the web such as reinstalling icloud 3.1, installing old versions of icloud from my cache, stopping processess realting to icloud and deleting files in the appdata/apple computer / mediastream but not one of these methods have resolved the issue of the photos updating in photostream. rebooting my pc and not rebooting when i unistall or reinstal iCloud. The weird thing is photos in other shared folders within my iCloud photos folder which i've created update but not the photos in the my photo steam folder. All other aspects of icloud update work fine such as outlook contacts . i have a 4s phone so dont know if that makes any difference. does anyone have a new solution i have missed somewhere???

[b]Fixed it, had to delete the folder where the My Photo Stream was. I just created a backup of it and then deleted it, let iCloud re populate the folders and it came back.[/b]

I'd try updating to version 11.1.5.5:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you're already at version 11.1.5.5 (or the update didn't help with the recognition trouble), try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
Re: sync problem
... or try section 5 from the following document:
TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
... but if you still have the same recognition troubles, try a complete uninstall/reinstall of both iTunes and all related software components, as per the instructions from the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

IPhone is not syncing with iTunes after iOS 7.1 update

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2, and neither of them will sync my new music from iTunes after updating both of them to iOS 7.1. When I press sync on my computer, the steps start at the top of iTunes, but then it just finishes before it actually starts writing the names of individual songs like it would normally do when syncing. It is as there is no music to be synced but there is. Please help!!

You've tried the following procedure?
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

HT204380 My apple ID doesn't work with FaceTime after IOS 6 update

Once I updated my IPAD to IOS 6 , my apple ID stopped working with FaceTime and iMessage
Every time I enter the password, it says that apple Id is not matching
I am sure that it is the right one, I checked it in iCloud and iTunes, it is working well.

Something as simple as your method of payment having expired could be causing your problems. Use the link below to check all info, especially your payment info, for your Apple ID.

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone.
I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them. I also checked all of the other icloud setting.
Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke) I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad. I opened then closed the document and the app. When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings. Has to be there and active.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

HT204264 I've upgraded to 200 Gb but Photo doesn't sync

I've upgraded to 200 Gb but Photo doesn't sync anything in iCloud, it's completely stuck after synced only 1 Gb of photos.

Agreed! I'm really frustrated. Waiting for months for this great feature. I have lots of photos (around 1-2k a year) that I wanted to have cloud access to on my iPhone. But even sharing to iCloud Photo Library on my Mac Mini doesn't push them to iPhone (mine or my wife's or the iPad or Apple TV).
Anyone know what is up? I thought that they would be visible without downloading to phone. I understand the download limits but what actually "shared" was way under that limit.

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view. The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts. In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts. (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.) If you want to do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts. This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.
