ICloud & Photostream: Not downloading or creating events on iPhoto

I asked this question in the iPhoto community, and was sent over here. So here is the problem:
Photostream is not downloading photos to my mac. In iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (the latest) on my mac, the photos appear in the left nav bar under Photostream. But when I go to events, there is an event called "November" with no photos in it. Running OSX 10.7.5 on my mac. My iPhone is running iOS 6.0.1. All Photostream sharing options on all devices are ON, and the automatic import box is checked.
The first suggestion offered was that I do a search for Photostream in iPhoto and see if the latest photostream showed up. It did not. The second suggestion was to turn off photostream in iPhoto, log out of iCloud, log back in again, let the photostream download to my mac and see what happened. I did all that with the same results, i.e., there is no November event. The photos won't download. Both my iphone and my mac are on the same wireless network and both are working fine except for this. Here are screenshots of the problem:
This is a display of the "photostream" feed under the RECENT category in iPhoto. Note the little wireless icon in the bottom left corner of each photo.
Below is a display in iPhoto of the Nov. 2012 Photo Stream. As you can see, nada. Why won't the Photo Stream download to iPhoto? Thank you!

Hello tallbubba
Check in System Preferences > iCloud to ensure that Photo Stream is turned on to start the import process of importing the photos.

PhotoStream is not creating Events in iPhoto

Having set my iPhone and iPad and iMac to PhotoShare/ PhotoStream I'm having issues creating Events in iPhoto. I like events.!
There are pics in PhotoStream that do not and will not appear in Events. Why.? How.? Frustrations.!!!

Okay, did all that. No help. The search did not turn up the most recent photo stream. Logged out of iCloud (pain in the a@# because I have documents stored there), turned off photo stream in iPhoto, logged back in, turned on again, and Photostream repopulated iPhoto in exactly the same way as before (i.e., no event--but photostream in the left nav column). Only thing I noticed is a little wireless icon in the photos in photostream. Here's a picture:
See the little wireless icon in the bottom left corner? Here's another picture:
There is no Nov. photostream event. WHY????? Do I actually have to plug in my device? I thought the purpose of Photostream was....

You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer. We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box. The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Items on icloud will not download

Items on icloud will not download

I also tried using itunes to move photos from iphone4s to pc, since Apple says that is an alternative. I have
itunes on my pc, but download wouldn't work that way either.

I have an Apple ID, but not an iCloud ID. I have a PC, windows 7. Icloud will not let me create an iCloud on my pc, do not have iPhone, iPad, etc. Help!

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

TS3989 PhotoStream not downloading all photos

Hi, my iPad2 (iOS 5.1), located in China, is not downloading all photos on PhotoStream. I have about 430 photos but the iPad2 can only download about 200 then it stopped. The following factors are for your consideration:
1. The iPad2 in question is not low on battery (more than 80%), and is connected to Wifi. The problem has persisted for days now. I know there're 430 photos on the PhotoStream because on my iPad1 and iPhone 4S I can see 430 photos.
2. The iPad2 can successfully upload to PhotoStream photos taken from its camera. In fact, photos taken from its camera would even be downloaded as new photos in PhotoStream, yet still not all photos already on PhotoStream (uploaded by other devices) could be downloaded.
3. I have several other devices participating on PhotoStream with the same Apple ID - iPad1 (iOS 5.01), iPhone 4s (iOS 5.01) and PC (iCloudWindows version 1.1). In fact, the bulk of the photos on PhotoStream now are uploaded from the PC via the iCloud service for Windows. The iPad2 is the only one having trouble downloading all of the photos.
4. I have reset PhotoStream on the iPad2 once already. 10 days ago the PhotoStream download was stuck for 163 photos (over 400 total) for a couple days. So I've reset the PhotoStream and re-enabled. The download started again, but has stopped for a few days now at 220 photos.
5. Just one more background - the iPad2 as I mentioned is located in China. I bought one for my parents so we could use PhotoStream to share photos cross border easily.
Please help!!!

Nothing... I am waiting on a solution too. I have the no "My Photo Stream" so no download location.

New iPhone, Photostream Not Downloading All Pictures

I got a new iPhone and my photostream only downloaded some of the most recent photos, not all of them that were on my other phone. How can I get them all back on my phone?

Hello thebiggfella,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're seeing a different number of photos after enabling PhotoStream on your new iPhone compared to your other devices, then you are likely just seeing what is actually in your Photostream. Your other devices are showing what is currently in Photostream, and the previously cached photos.
I see different photos in the Recently Added album or My Photo Stream album on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.
Use these steps if you want to have the most current photos from My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in the Recently Added album (or the My Photo Stream album in iOS 7) that you want to keep, save them to your device, then back up your photos and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Confirm that you want to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.

Take care,

The ICloud will not download my Mail, Contacts, Calander and Tasks. JUst says there is an error. I sent in results but received nothing. Just bought space in ICloud but can not use it. Any Suggestions?

ICloud Launch will not download my " Mail, Contacts, Calander & Tasks. It just says there is an error. Nothing about how to fix.

Winstone
Thanks
Yes - I had my old email address in Mac Mail
So I have moved ALL my mail into On-my-Mac for safekeeping
Then I deleted that account from Mac Mail
I then tried - once more - with Preferences>iCloud to get my MobileMe address onto iCloud
and got the following....
So that does not help
Back to Mac Mail and re-install my old account and it looks like this
So its an iCloud account .... ? and [email protected] is my old mobile.me address
So why can I not access it from my iPad, which now wants me to "Create a free @me.com email address to turn on iCloud Mail". If I do that, how do I get my old @me address working on the iPad.
Really Apple has not excelled itself with this migration...
Completely confused.....

ICloud Photostream not working with Windows 7 or 8.1

Since iOS8 came out, my Windows PC's have not been working with the iCloud Photostream. I have gone through 4.0 - 4.0.2 now, with no success. I have tried all the supposed fixes. My MAC works fine updating, but not any of my PC's. I just can't make the Photostream update as it used to. The idea was to Sync all pictures from my iPhone across all devices, not just the Apple ones. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This has been driving me nuts for several months now and no one seems to have an answer.

ICloud Beta not downloading all purchases?

Just started playing with the iCloud beta. I hit "download all purchases" and let the computer go to town for an hour and pull everything down. When I got back, all my tunes had been marked as "Downloaded," but when I looked at my iTunes music library it was full of holes...just a song here and there that didn't download. When I go back into the cloud portion of the store, they are indicated as downloaded, although they are nowhere to be found within the iTunes library, and they can't be redownloaded because iTunes believe they are there.
Any workaround advice?
-- Andy

Yep, I had a similair experience with support, zero response, but I did find a good workaround:
1) Look for the iCloud downloaded icons with the exclamation point icon next to them.
2) Verify the alert is because it couldn't find the file.
3) Right-click and Remove the entry.
4) Go back into the Purchases portion of the iTunes store, back to the iCloud downloads.
5) When you hit the other tab for the songs not in your library, they will be noted as "not downloaded."
6) Download all.
7) Wash, rinse, and repeat until your swiss cheese of iCloud songs are complete.

Creating events in iPhoto

I'm working with iPhoto. Photos are not showing up on the Events page for me to organize. I've gone to the Photos section and organize them into events. However, they do not appear on the Events page. What am I doing wrong?

Either your events are not sorted the way you want. Fix under the view menu ==> sort events
Or the dates are incorrect. Fix by setting you're camera settings and using the adjust date/time command on the ones in your library

ICloud did not download all my contacts

iPhone 4/iOS 5.1.1, iPad 2/iOS 5.1.1
I sync my contacts to Outlook 2010 and have never used iCloud for anything, but while away from home, all of the contacts on my phone suddenly disappeared. My phone favorites remained, with phone numbers only, and the same for texts. Since I had my iPad with me, I decided to turn on iCloud for Contacts on the iPad, then do the same with the iPhone. It seemed to work fine, except that many of the contacts were missing from the phone. I checked alphabetically, comparing iPad to iPhone and found everything was fine up until about "M". From there on, it was hit or miss. Only 1 of about 20 contacts beginning with "O" were on the phone. Less than half of "R" made it. I fooled around for a while, turning iCloud on and off, deleting all contacts from phone, repeating, etc. with the same results each time. When I got home, I was able to sync to my computer, so I got everything back, but I would really like to know what gives with the flakey iCloud performance.
(My phone is about 2.5 yrs old, and I've never had anything like this happen before, so now I'm worried that there may be a hardware problem somewhere. The only glitch observable before this happened was that the phone hung in Settings when I was trying to connect to wifi, and I had to reset to continue using the phone. Just off and on did not work.)

Bump. No one has a clue???
