ICloud photos in albums not syncing to iPad, iPhone. How to fix?

Hi folks,
I have iPhoto '11, an iMac running Lion, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 1. The iPad and iPhone are both running iOS v5.0.1 .
My problem is that when I take photos on either device, and they go to Photo Stream, I can copy them to albums, but they will *not* sync into that album on iOS. There's 100 photos in one of my albums, 40 of those are iPhone photos or screencaps from my iPad. Only 60 photos make it onto my iOS devices. iTunes shows only that 60 photos - i.e, the photos that I imported into iPhoto, not the ones from Photo Stream.
Is there something I need to do to make this work, or is this a bug?

GarageBand can only sync from iPad to OS X, not the other way around.
You can, however, sync back to an iPad if the project was originally created on an iPad.
Some edits  you did in OSX may not be seen on your iPad.
Opening an iPad-version in OS X is a bit awkward.
First, on your iPad tap and hold the file you want to send to iCloud.
As soon as the icon of your song starts to wiggle, tap Upload to iCloud.
In OS X go to File / iCloud / Import GarageBand for iOS
It can take some minutes before you can see your project.

  • 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…

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • The function AirDrop on my Mac BookAir seems not to work, not detect my iPad. How to fix this?

    The function AirDrop on my Mac BookAir seems not to work, not detect my iPad. How to fix this?

    AirDrop on iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod touches) can only AirDrop things with other iOS devices. AirDrop on Mac can only AirDrop things with other Macs.
    I hope this solves your question.

  • Photos will not Sync to iPad, iPhone or Apple TV.

    I am not able to Sync photos, on my iPhone or iPad, when cabled to my iMac. I have checked  "Sync Photos from iPhoto" and the photo albums (within iTunes) show zero photos.
    Also, not able to view photos on Apple TV.  I have gone to iTunes File>Home Sharing> "Choose Photos to share with Apple TV" and checked the desired albums. The photo albums (within ITunes) show zero photos.
    I have already backed up Photo Library, ‘Repaired Permissions’, Rebuilt Thumbnails, Repaired Data Base and ‘Rebuilt Database’.
    Any solutions ?

    Try rebuild the old library - but note the caveats:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • ICloud Photo Library (Beta) not syncing from iPhone

    I have iCloud Photo Library (Beta) activated on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air. On my iMac I log in to iCloud to see my photos.
    Until some days ago, everything went smooth and every photo I took was uploaded and mirrored to all other devices. All modifications as well.
    However, since a week or so, I am experiencing issues: I took a number of photos on my iPhone, and first they were uploaded, because I can see them on iPad and iCloud. I then deleted and edited some of these photos on iPhone - but none of these modifications get reflected on other devices. Instead, the „old“ versions are synced, plus even those I’ve deleted from iPhone library. For days now on iPhone I read „uploading xx photos“. But nothings gets uploaded.
    (Even when I sync with iPhoto on Mac, none of these modifications are reflected there, either.)
    I have shut down and restarted the device several times, to no avail.
    What’s going wrong here?

    Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
    Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
    Did a factory reset on iPhone
    Restored the thing from previous backup
    Re-entered all my passwords and such
    Now it's syncing again.
    The whole procedure took me about two hours.
    No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

  • Garageband for Mac and iCloud project in cloud not syncing to iPad

    I have checked every setting possible in GB for Mac and in iCloud settings,, plus also checked iPad for all settings. I can see that a particular project is appearing as an iCloud document, however, it does not appear to be syncing to my iPad. The document (project)was made in my Mac Garageband New Version  , opens up nicely on GB version 10,, and I have it in the cloud and not a document on my computer. Any help as to why it  might not be showing up on my iPad would be appreciated.... unless there are are problems in the Cloud tonight.?

  • Internet Explorer 11 bookmarks not syncing with Ipad/Iphone

    Hello. I have an Iphone 5 along with an Ipad Mini. Both are updated to the current IOS 7.1.1. I am using Internet Explorer 11 on my Toshiba Laptop for syncing booksmarks and such through Icloud to my devices.
    I am having an issue with the bookmarks on my Toshiba laptop syncing with my Ipad and Iphone. Both my Ipad and Iphone book marks sync together in perfect unison, but my Internet Explorer bookmarks do not sync.
    What I have tried:
    Shut down/Restart all devices
    Turn off safari in Icloud for Ipad/Iphone
    Restarted internet application on all devices
    Unchecked, then rechecked the box for syncing bookmarks in Icloud
    Deleted synced bookmarks on Ipad/Iphone, then re-added them through Icloud
    Once I delete the synced bookmarks, the bookmark tab on the Iphone/Ipad are empty, but once I sync them back up, the old bookmarks come through.
    My main goal:
    I want my Toshiba laptop bookmarks to be the exact same as my Iphone/Ipad bookmarks. I want my Ipad to be the center of attention essentially, followed by the Toshiba laptop and the Iphone, meaning I want the Ipad to be the base for all the bookmarks, then the Iphone and Toshiba laptop can follow suit and take the bookmarks from the Ipad and transfer them to the laptop and Iphone. Currently, I have many of the same bookmarks on both the Toshiba Laptop along with my Iphone/Ipad, but the more recent add`s/deleted on either Iphone/Ipad or Toshiba laptop are not syncing.
    Any help is appreciated.

    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.

  • Mac email not syncing with iPad / iPhone

    I am having a problem with Mail on my Mac not syncing up properly, and the problem is with the iPad and iPhone. The mail account is an IMAP account on Godaddy; the problem goes back before Yosemite, but it has taken me quite a while to find out what the problem is, so I'm hoping for a solution.
    The problem: I get a new email on my Godaddy account. It appears almost instantly on my iPad and iPhone, but it does not appear on my Mac. But, this doesn't happen all of the time, sometimes I do get the message on my Mac as well. I have worked with Godaddy support, and they had me delete the account from my Mac an recreate it, seemed to work but a couple hours later it broke again.
    Diagnosis of problem: Okay, so I started trying to diagnose the problem on my own to see if I can find a repeatable scenario, and I did. Here is what I did and, ultimately, what the cause is:
    I logged into GoDaddy's webmail application so I could monitor when email came in, then check to see if it was being picked up on the Mac. Whenever I found one on webmail that did not appear on the Mac I checked my iPad and iPhone, that is when I found out that the mail was appearing on those devices all of the time, without fail.
    When a failure occurred I quit Mail on the Mac and restarted it, it alway found the missing mail, even if I had read it on the iPhone and iPad.
    With this in hand what I tried was shutting down the WiFi connection on both the iPad and iPhone whenever I was home. What I found was that when the WiFi connection was turned off I never missed a single email on the Mac.
    So, next step was to turn the WiFi connection back on for both devices and monitor emails. This is what I found:
    If the email was read first on the mobile devices then it never made it to the Mac.
    If the email appeared first on the Mac, then it also appeared on both mobile devices.
    So, the problem is that if the mobile devices get hold of the email before the Mac gets at it, the Mac never sees the emails unless I quit Mail and restart it. But, if the Mac gets hold of the mail first, it appears on both mobile devices as well
    Any Ideas / suggestions? Other than turning off WiFi on the mobile devices every day when I get home .

    No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one.  That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address.  I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email.  Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.

  • Why is my address book not Syncing with ipad / iphone..

    Seems to be syncing with icloud, however, no icloud account was setup, also, have no prefs for icloud as I'm running OS 10.6....
    Why can't I just sync the address book to the devices directly, btw, itunes 11 *****!

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • HT201317 why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    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.

  • I have songs in my iTunes library that I burned from CD's. They play in iTunes and will sync with my iPad. They play fine on the iPad.  However, the songs will not sync to my iPhone 4S.  There are now exclamation points next to songs (can't find source).

    I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source).  They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S.  Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.

    KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem.  I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+).  This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
    After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
    This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone.

    I did not sync my iPad to iTunes to my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I installed iOS 7 to it.
    Before anyone cuts and pastes the info from Apple support in response to this, I have already tried those steps. iTunes simply states that it cannot do anything since the iPad is locked with a passcode. I cannot access iCloud to use that specific advice as iCloud will not let me sign in; a message keeps coming up reading that there is an error with the server. Remote Swipe? Not sure. It is three hours later, and I am no further.
    What else can I do? I never had a passcode set up when I first got my iPad. I would have bypassed this with the installation of iOS 7 if I had known about this.
    Thank you in advance.
