Missing photos on iCloud

I have just come back from a family holiday, I took lots of pics with my iPhone 4 but when I came back to show people my photos on my iPad 2 some pics have not been synced via the iCloud.
I have turned both devices off and on again but no result.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do ?
Thanks

Those photos were downloaded to all devices that were connected to icloud during time that you were making them.
The last 30 days of those photos are still in the cloud, but the problem is you can not force download. Check all the devices that were connected to cloud before you lost phone.

Missing photos in iCloud drive/ iPhone 6plus

Does anyone know how to turn on the iCloud feature for your photos in iPhone 6 plus. Mine is apparently not working correctly. i have tried everything from unchecking, rechecking everything in system preferences, iPhone, iTunes match....etc. nothing is working, iTunes says that it is in the cloud, but it is not there. can someone please help? thank you.

After waiting more than one week : no changes. Numbers are stile the same.
Note that at the beginning it was slow (progress of new photo that were viewable in iCloud), but it was regular. Now it really seems that the process is blocked.
Is there any way to restart the sync ? Even if from the beginning ? (of course without programming the mistake of considering the iCloud library as the reference)

Hi! I've just backed up from iCloud and missed photo. Why?

What do yo mean that it took all the money?
What is current status of the iPod?
You can always redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Adding to fromsouth... if you are restoring from a backup, then only photos in the camera roll are made available, not others.
If you are using photo stream, then only photos that have been on the stream server in the past 30 days (and a max of 1000 of them) are downloaded. All others have been deleted, since photo stream is not a storage service, but a syncing service that allows you to sync photos over a 30 day window.

Help! Missing family photos from icloud/atv3

The sad story starts here ... two months ago we had a break-in and they stole my MBA, my iMac and my iPad. Lost about a years worth of family photos (luckily I had backups for older photos).
However I switched on my ATV3 the other day (which they missed) and I can see some of my "lost" photos appearing.
So either these are cached on my ATV3 or being loaded from my Photo Stream.
I have a new MBP and although that has my photostream, it doesn't load older photos.
So I have two potential courses of action...
a) somehow get the photos off my ATV3 ... which doesnt seem possible as there is no jailbreak option.
b) somehow access the photos from icloud/photostream ... which doesn't seem possible as it doesnt load older photos.
Anyone out there found a workaround for this situation? I would really love to have these family photos back.

Photos and videos from your camera roll are backed up to iCloud when you do an iCloud backup.
This article tells you how to restore an iCloud backup:

I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:

HT6378 Missing Photos iCloud Photo Library

I'm uploading my photos to iCloud Photos using the beta web client. They appear to upload fine and can see them all appear in my iCloud Photo Library on my IOS 8.1.1 devices, however the most recently added photos are not showing in the web client. There are no differences in photo format - in fact
Also, the total number of photos as shown in IOS8 and the web client is different. I know the web client is in beta but this seems like a strange issue. Any thoughts?
Regards,
David

I think I have found the solution on another thread. Am consolidating the referenced files which will hopefully solve the problem. A bit puzzling that I didn't get the warning some people mention, that the referenced files would not be uploaded to iCloud.

How do I find my hidden/missing photos?

On my iPhone4 my Camera Roll is showing 925 photos, which I have recently backed up to my computer. However iTunes shows I have 2103 photos using 4.47 gb. On my phone under settings>general>usage>photos & camera it shows that I have used 4.6 gb. And on my phone under settings>general>about>photos it shows 2,065.
This is my 2nd iPhone, which replaced the 1st iPhone4 when it had a problem and stopped working. I am missing a whole lot of pictures, and so the over 2000 number makes sense. I just don't know how to find the hidden/missing photos.
Can anyone help me with this?

I think your numbers add up --- as follows:
iTunes says you have 2.103 photos. I claim they consist of:
925 photos on your Camera Roll
178 photos in your Photo Library
1,000 photos in your Photo Stream
2,103 total photos
If you're having trouble finding the Photo Stream photos, maybe this will help:

How do I download and immediately delete original photos from iCloud photos?

How do I download and immediately delete all original photos from iCloud photos? This way, I have a local copy of all my iPhone photos, and my iPhone and iCloud space will be reset and empty.
Using the online iCloud web app, you can only select one photo at a time. There is no select all or download all. And when you try to select one by one multiple photos and download, it opens a download "save-as" window for each one! Not one download window for all the selected. So if you select one hundred photos, one hundred download "save-as" windows will pop up, and you have to click the save button one hundred times.
Using my Windows 7 PC, the iCloud app doesn't have iCloud photo sync, only the Photo Stream photos, which is separate.
After researching online, they said the Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app could do this. So I tried my wife's MacBook Pro, and there is a iCloud photo sync, BUT, it tries to merge with her local photos. My 20 GB iCloud is full with my iPhone pictures, and her local photo library is about 50 GB. So it doesn't not even merge or allow the iCloud photo sync to turn on without buying more storage! The Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app doesn't even have a download only feature, OR access the iCloud like a folder to drag and drop photos or like an FTP. WHAT THE?!?!
So there IS ABSOLUTELY NO OPTION SO FAR to download and remove immediately all photos in the iCloud photo storage with ANY device, unless maybe I delete all my wife's photos on her MacBook Pro, which is not an option. Or select one by one thousands of photos on the online web app.
Am I missing something? or is Apple not so user friendly as they seem to be?

Open iphoto. Connect camera.
Import photos.
Does that not work?

Where EXACTLY are my photos in icloud?

I am confused about icloud. I understand that when I take a pic with my iPhone it "magically" transfers to the photostream folder in "My Pictures" on my PC by way of icloud. I've mastered the understanding of deleting photos on either/both of these devices. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to view the photos that are stored IN the icloud. I assumed it would be similar to viewing items that are stored in my MSN SkyDrive. I did manage to "reset" my icloud's photostream, and there was a note saying that all photo have been removed from icloud but it had no affect on the iPhone's photostream or the folder in my PC and I was still never aware of exactly which and how many pics were there. When I go to my icloud home page there are only icons for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Find My iPhone and iWork. Am I missing something?

I guess I am also confused by this. I've read the comment above, but that just adds to my confusion because I know I have GB's of iCloud "Storage" space available, and I'm pretty sure there is a way to purchase additional iCloud Storage if needed.
The iCloud missing statement says "iCloud does more than store your content — it lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, from whatever device you’re on."
The previous response makes it sound like I am not able to access my photos from "whatever device I'm on", but only from the one device that I can sync my phone to, but that would go against the iCloud missing statement.
Between home computer and work computer, I use multiple devices. My iPhone is sync'd to my home laptop, but I want to view photos taken with my iPhone on my work computer, or any other PC that I log into.
When I bought my iPhone I was also told that I could use iCloud to store music on, and have access to it whenever/where ever. But again I only seem to be able to store/manage my music on either my phone or the in my home laptop's iTunes app.
Is there an instruction manual that explains how I can access my music and photos within my iCloud Storage, from whatever device I'm on?

How do you sync photos from icloud to iphone

I went to the apple store and had to restore my phone since i was having issues with it and now i've lost all my photos. I was told not to restore from icloud since this will cause the issues i was having to come back. How do i sync photos from iCloud without doing a restore onto my iPhone?? I have an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4

The restore from backup process is all or nothing, there is no way to selectively restore data. These photos, the one's you're missing, where they only in your camera roll?

Missing photos on new phone

I recently upgraded from a broken 32gb iphone 4 to a new 32gb 4s but now less than half of my photos appear in my camera roll on the new 4s. The old phone was backed up to icloud before it was broken, and again backed up before buying the new 4s. My message and phone history now appear over 6 months old on the 4s iphone. My main questions is: How do I get the missing 600 photos onto my new 4s? I used the icloud back-up daily instead of backing up to my iMac. Are the missing photos lost forever? Or is there a way to recover them and download them onto my new 4s? Thanks in advance for the help!

Additional info:
I didn't download any of the photos onto my iMac, ever, so they're not in iPhoto folder. I already checked that. I was counting on them being in the cloud and when I activated a new device, they would just download automatically when I connected to wifi.

Will photos in iCloud sync to my iPhone or will photos on my iPhone sync to iCloud?

My set up is I have all my photos on iCloud with full resolution photos and videos synced to my Macbook while optimized photos and videos are synced to my iPhone.
I saw the amount of photos and videos on my Macbook is missing some photos and videos when compared to my iPhone. When I checked my iPhone, I noticed some videos didn't have a thumbnail but instead a white square. When I tried to play the video, nothing plays even when I leave it sitting there for a long while.
After some searching around, an article said the photo list was corrupted and if you delete 3 certain files on the iPhone, the photos list would rebuild itself. I did that, and it did rebuild itself.
However, around half of my photos were gone. I think it's because my iPhone was set to optimized so it only rebuilt with the full resolution photos left on my iPhone.
So, my question is, if my iPhone syncs with the photos on iCloud, would my iPhone download all my missing photos? Or will my iCloud sync to my iPhone so my iCloud would also be missing half of my photos?

Greetings,
What version of the MacOS is running on the PowerBook?
Cheers.

Missing photos in iPhoto's Photo Stream

Sometimes I take photos around my construction site, I got a MBP inside my office connected to Internet (sometimes intermittent), when I get in the Wifi area mi iPhone uploads it to Photo Stream with no problem. Issue is when I open iPhoto in my MBP, I am missing one photo, so I got to turn off Photo Stream in iCloud preferences and turn it back on and it downloads all photos again, isn't there a way to force it to sync so instead of downloading all again, it only download the missing photo?
Thank you.

isn't there a way to force it to sync so instead of downloading all again

I have 162 photos in the cloud but only 153 download to my phone. The missing photos are videos

I have 162 photos in the cloud only 153 download to my phone. Missing photos are videos. Help!

iCoud (photo stream) doesn't sync videos, it only syncs (streams) photos. If you have an iCloud backup, that would include your videos and restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.
