Missing photostream pictures after ios8 upgrade!

I just upgraded from Ios7 to ios8 on my iPhone 5 and many of my photostream pictures just disappeared!!!! These pictures mean a lot to me. Why did you guys not check this bug!? How do I get those pictures back?
To those who insist that photo stream just stores pictures up to 30-day old. I assure you prior to the ios8 upgrade, I had pictures in the photostream folder that were older than 30 days.
I am sure many have such a problem. Apple needs to fix this to avoid a huge backlash. This is teh

iOS 8 changes how it organizes photos.  So make sure you look for the pictures first, they may not have disappeared.  Just moved.
iOS 8 does away with the Camera Roll and My Photostream folders.  Now, all photos are merged into the Collections section.  Any pictures recent taken/saved/synced with Photostream appear in the Recently Added folder in the Folder view.  This is a shortcut to the same photo in Collections, like any album on the iPhone.  From what I understand, they will stay in Recently Added for 30 days before disappearing, though the actual photo is still in Collections.  Hence, any photo you have from Photostream that are older than 30 days should be in Collections.  This is what I found when I panicked.
As to Photostream holding photos, Apple changed how it worked ages ago.  Photostream now stores the most recent 1000 photos in a First In, First Out method.  They will stay there indefinitely until more than 1000 photos are in the stream, then the oldest ones delete to make room.  If you use Photostream on your computer (iPhoto/Photos on Mac, iCloud Photos on PC), the pics will stay there even if older ones delete.
Now if you check Collections and still cannot find the photos, then check other Apple Devices or your computer.  If not there, then contact AppleCare.

  • After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.  Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

    After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
    Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
    Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
    THANKS

    1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
    2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
    3.     Select "See All Options"
    4.      Select "Phone" menu
    Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
    If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
    Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

  • Ipad air restarts all of a sudden after ios8 upgrade

  • Spotlight Indexing, Systemstats, Missing File, All After Mavericks Upgrade

    Dear Mac Support Communities,
    The upgrade to OS X 10.9.4 has crippled my computer.
    My main question is: should I reformat, or should I wait for a patch to come out to solve whatever is wrong with Mavericks? I explain below.
    Spotlight is constantly indexing. The mdworker is all over the place on the Activity Monitor—4% and then it explodes to 85% of CPU usage. Systemstats kicks in randomly (connected to spotlight perhaps?) and eats up 90% of my CPU and 3gigs of RAM. Time Machine takes AGES to backup.
    I have not been able to stop Spotlight's endless indexing. I have moved my hard drive and my Time Machine backup into the 'private' filter in 'Spotlight Preferences.' I have also tried the "sudo mdutil -a -i off" trick to stop indexing altogether. But Spotlight Indexing goes "off" and then automatically turns "on" in Terminal. Spotlight carries on, and the computer performance is choppy.
    I've run disk repair. First, I repaired permissions. Then I verified and attempted to repair the the hard drive. There is a missing file apparently, and I therefore must reformat. This is very first issue I've ever had with the hard drive since I bought the computer. Considering how awful Mavericks has been—I have been reading other Support Communities posts—I'm nervous about something going wrong, or that all these problems will persist after the reformat.
    All of this has occurred three days after my upgrade to to OS X 10.9.4. I have heard of numerous people having problems with Mavericks. All similar problems concerning missing files, haywire spotlight, systemstats devouring any remaining CPU power and memory space, and slow Time Machine back-ups.
    Anyone with the same problems? Care to theorize some solutions?
    I have a late 2008, 15inch MacBook Pro., 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OS X 10.9.4 (13E28).
    Cheers! I appreciate the help.

    Older Macs have more troubles under Mavericks. Considering the age of your Mac, it's not uncommon to start have hardware issues like drive failure.
    To repair the drive you must boot from the Recovery Drive.
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.***
    Next Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs following directions here This will serve two purposes. It will reset YOUR permissions. Not the same as Disk Utility reset permissions and it will cause Spotlight to re-index your drive when restarting.
    Restart
    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1755
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.3 to 10.9.4. If somehow the 10.9.3 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 it will still be stale after the delta update.
    ***If Disk Utility is unable to repair you will have to copy your data to an external drive first. Reformatting will erase the drive. You should have a backup regardless, if your data is important to you. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection. If you don't have an external drive for backup, I can give you some suggestions to get you started.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

  • Upgrade problems - files missing in site after the upgrade

    gurus,
    i upgraded the webdb 2.2 to portal 3.0. when i went to the portal site, i found that in one folder some of the documents were missing. what i mean by the missing is, the document title was present in the folder but not as a link. it was there as a static text. under normal circumstances the user would click the link and open up the link (can be anything *.doc, *.pdf, *.xls etc.) but, i could not do so because there was static text instead of link.
    has anyone had a similar problem ?
    pls reply.
    thanx a lot

    Hi,
    I am experiencing the same problems, some of the items are inacccessible, the path to these items are weird after the upgrade to portal 306.
    Here is an example:
    The path of an item may look like
    /folder/rootfolder/rootfolder/rootfoler/market/summary.doc
    there are so many rootfolders out there, assume rootfolder is the content area name.
    If I manually remove these redundant rootfolders, I can load these items individually.

  • IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

    i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

    I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I  installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
    As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
    The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process. 
    I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.

  • My Ipad2 is hardly working anymore after IOS8 upgrade

    I cannot hardly use my Ipad2/32GB/3G after the IOS8 upgrade. It takes for ever now to do anything on it.
    IF you cannot find any new features at all that gives anything extra then do not upgrade !

    The most aggravating problem I've had with iOS 8 on my iPad 3 (New) and my iPhone 4S has to do with powering on and off. I called Apple tech support to help solve the problem but since it was the first day iOS 8 rolled out they hadn't had my particular problem. In short my tablet (and phone) will either turn itself off and won't turn back on immediately or, as what happened while I was on the phone with tech support, I tried powering down my tablet and then tried to turn it back on but all that would happen, continuously for about 20-30 minutes!, was the Apple would appear as if it was starting up then it would shut itself off again then the Apple would come back then turn off, and over and over and over again. I had it plugged into my pc to run a diagnostic but it kept doing what I just described then, out of the blue, the tablet turned on without fanfare. Unfortunately it seemed the only fix was...the factory reset. I HATE resetting because it's such a hassle putting all of my apps back where they're supposed to be. For whatever reason my iPhone didn't give me as much problem but if either device freezes up and I try to turn either off then back on it takes close to 30 minutes at times for them to turn back on. The other problem I'm seeing is both iOS devices are getting incredibly hot, iPad moreso but the iPhone can get incredibly hot as well. 

  • Missing album artwork after iOS5 upgrade!!

    After I upgraded my iPhone, everything went smoothly, all my apps where there, text messages, emails etc. Even all my music was there but I noticed that random album artworks were missing. I connected it iTunes and clicked "sync" and it showed at the top that it was syncing a numerous amount of album artworks to my phone, so I thought it fixed the problem but I check my phone and it didn't. The weird thing is that all the album artworks show in my iTunes library and playlists but not on my phone!! I tried restarting my phone and manually clicking "get album artwork" in iTunes, nothing has worked. Furthermore, these artworks aren't custom or added by me, I purchased all on iTunes, so I know that isn't the problem. I really don't want to resort to restoring my phone due to having to reoragnize everything on it, but if I have to, I will. PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks.

    If the artwork is OK on your computer you may be able to solve your problem by removing all your music and then resync it back to your iPad.

  • IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

    I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them.  I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off.  I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

    Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

  • Cannot stream video after iOS8 upgrade

    My iPad Mini no longer streams video after I upgraded to iOS 8. This includes Facebook videos, Youtube app, HBO Go app, Amazon on Demand app, Safari or Chrome. If I switch to either laptop or my iphone which runs iOS7, I have no troubles streaming any video.

    THe same situation on my iPad Air. For a short time helps hard reset but it is very frustrating...

  • Static noise after ios8 upgrade

    since doing the iOS8 upgrade on my iPad 2 all I can hear is static when I try a listen to youtube videos and music. Even when I record from my iPad the noise comes out static.

    Try to reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Photos missing after IOS8 upgrade

    After upgrading to IOS8 some of my photos have been removed.
    They are not in the new collections location an not in my iCloud account.
    Luckily i still have one device on IOS7 where i can see the photo stream and the photos are still there but for some bizarre reason Apple has removed them from all my IOS8 devices.
    If any one could help on how i can see these on my IOS 8 device it would be much appreciated.
    Apple you have really screwed up on this last release, my faith in IOS is diminishing more and more with unexpected unexplained major changes that are forced on us.

    Read this, should help.

  • Slow processing after ios8 upgradation

    After downloading ios8 my iphone 4s processing is affected.   Is it due to operating system...?

    Hi sushilgullu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having slowness or lagging issues with multiple apps on your iPhone after a recent upgrade to iOS 8, you may want to first try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you are still having issues after a reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persists before restoring your data. You may find the following article helpful:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Regards,
    - Brenden
