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]

  • 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! 

  • Photo Stream not syncing with Windows 7

    Photo stream seems to be having trouble syncing with certain Windows machines. Mine is having the same problem. I was having trouble getting photos from the stream to my Windows 7 machine so I tried to uninstall and reinstall the iCloud control panel 2.0. Seemed to fix the problem until next reboot then it stopped syncing again.
    Have seen numerous posts about this but no fix or attention. Since Apple support is pretty much non-existant with this topic, figured I would add another post about the problem in hopes someone at Apple would see this and look into it.

    First make sure iCloud and Photo Stream are installed on your PC. Connect the iPad (or iPhone) to your PC with the USB cable and start iTunes on your PC. Once your iPad/iPhone shows up under "Devices" in the sidebar (which you may have to enable), click it. Then click "Photos" at the top of the iTunes screen on your PC. Check the "Sync Photos from" box, and then under that, click "Selected folders." (Ignore the pulldown menu to the right of "Sync Photos from" -- the important thing is to tick "Selected folders.")  A pane should open up below that with a list of folders including "Photo Stream." Choose that and then at the bottom of the screen click Sync. This worked for my Windows 7 box.

  • 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 have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing   wht to do???

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync

    Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync any suggestions?

    Try a low-tech solution.  Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
    Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle.  Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles!   (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

  • 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 Calendar will not sync with iCloud

    I am at a complete loss here.  I have my work MBA running Yosemite and connected to my iCloud account.  I also have a personal MBP, iPhone and iPad, all running the latest OS and Patch, all connected to my iCloud account.
    For 98% of it, it works and syncs perfectly.  Except for the calendar on my MBA.  Calendar works and syncs perfectly everywhere else, MBA works perfectly with iMessage, FaceTime, Contacts, Keychain, etc, etc, etc.
    Basic troubleshooting I have performed:
    Rebooted MBA (obviously)
    Attempted to remove calendars from syncing with my iCloud account (unsuccessful) - will not remove calendars.
    Attempted to remove entire iCloud account from MBA (unsuccessful)
    i have signed out everywhere on my MBA, when I go to System Preferences > iCloud and attempt to sign out, it fails.
    When I go to Internet Accounts, iCloud keeps coming back as "INACTIVE" with nothing checked.
    When I go through all the apps, Calendar is the only one that shows the iCloud data (iMessage shows me as signed out, same with App Store, iTunes, FaceTime, Contacts, etc)
    Rebooted MBA multiple times throughout the process, to no avail or difference
    Performed a repair install of Yosemite through the recovery console
    After repair install, iCloud calendars still show up, even though my iCloud account under System Preferences shows me as signed out
    After repair install, signed back into iCloud to see if I could re-sync calendarsiCloud shows me as signed in and Calendars as successfully setup
    Upon launching Calendars, i get the spinning wheel in the top left of my calendar app and new calendar items created on the MBA do not sync with iCloud (website or other connected devices)
    Created new calendar item on other devices as well as iCloud website, calendar item never shows up on MBA
    So, aside from a complete format of the hard drive, can anyone think of any options I haven't tried?  Or some way to completely reset one app (such as Calendar)

    Needed to add some clarification here:
    iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
    Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

  • My ipod classic will not sync with windows 8

    I have an ipod classic that will not sync with my new laptop which has windows 8 installed. When i plug it into my laptop it doesn't show up in itunes or my computer. I tried it with the ipod in disk mode, and it still won't show up in itunes, but does in my computer-however when i click on it my computer freezes so i have to unplug it.
    I've been through several forums already, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, updating my drivers, renaming the driver that the ipod plugs into, all with no success. I used to have a similar problem on my old laptop, but this could be cured by right-clicking on the ipod in my computer and clicking 'format' - my ipod would then be wiped, but itunes would then recognize it and i could sync everything back onto the device-it was time consuming but it worked.  However i am unable to do thisnow as the ipod either doesn't show in my computer, or freezes my laptop when i do finally get it to show in disc mode.
    Can anyone offer any advice at all???

  • Centro & Treo 650 will not sync with Windows 7

    The 6.2 software will not work with windows 7. I have a new computer and can not get the phones to hot sync with my new computer. The Bluetooth does not recognize either of the phones. None of the other Bluetooth devices nor my car recognizes the phones. I do not have a data package with the phones so doing anything over the internet is out of the question. How do I get all the information that is on my two phones onto my computer?

    Try a low-tech solution.  Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
    Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle.  Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles!   (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

  • Iphone 3GS will not sync with Windows

    I could not get it to sync and the dealer then told me it does not work with Windows 7 so I am returningd it and the other stuff I bought from the apple store and cancelled my order for another one and 2 new macs. The dealer was not too worried. Apple must have so many customers that they do not have to worry about new ones, nice business. Misrepresentation of a products capabilities is one day going to cost them though in my experience. I have bought a 3 ipods which did actually work. iPhone is a product that does not work with Windows 7 and a 1 year old laptop and in the year 2009 that is almost unbelievable and should be told to consumers before they buy and struggle and then realise they have been sold a dud.

    I think you are mixing things up. This is a patch supplied by Intel to motherboards and BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM) manufacturers who based their newest motherboards on Intel P55 chipset. To get this fix you update your BIOS. The BIOS is independent of any operating system (it comes with the motherboards already flashed). Has nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.
    here is a link
    A few days ago we had reported a problem with iTunes sync between the iPhone and PCs equipped with Windows 7 of the Intel P55 chipset. Intel released a patch that solves this problem within seconds. You can download the patch here and then start the installation. Restart your computer and you will see all your sync problems are solved.
    NOTE: If your computer doesen’t feature the specs above, do not install the patch. Otherwise, happy syncing….
