My iPhone doesn't show the PhotoStream photos wich I uploaded with iCloud Control Panel on my PC. Why?

I just copied some pictures to the "C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads folder and I opened the Photos on my iPhone but the PhotoStream is fully empty. I can see the uploaded photos in the My Photo Stream folder but not on my iPhone. Why?

Have you ensured that PhotoStream is on in the iCloud Settings in your iPhone?
Make sure you're connected to WiFi with a good connection.
Make sure you have at least 20% battery life on your phone. PhotoStream will not work unless you have at least 20% battery.
Try turning your phone off and then turning it back on again.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

    Select the photos you want to import, then click Open.

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

  • HT4759 I have a Windows 7 machine and cannot get Icloud control panel to work. Why can't I login and subscribe to someones photos

    I have a Windows 7 PC and have installed Icloud control panel the latest. I cannot sucessfully login and subscribe to me daughters photos, or my nieces photos. I really could use some help, as I am not an Apple user and I am lost here...................Thankx....

    Do you have an iCloud account?  If so, did you sign into your account on the iCloud control panel and check Photos, then click Options to confirm that Photo Sharing is turned on?

  • Why is Photostream grayed out, not available, in iCloud Control Panel?

    I have uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled, several times. Always the same result.

    I am beyond sick of this problem!!!  Spent nearly a whole day last week uninstalling, reinstalling, settings, more settings, closing down, opening up yadiyadiya..........Thought Id sorted it - well for one day!!  And here we go again!!!!  As soon as I find an alternative method of posting photos I will discard icloud completely.  Apple help is no help.  I dont want to read any more notes, fixes, information which isnt effective or which Ive already tried.  Its clearly a total sytem failure and I for one am sick of it!!!

  • Why is my Photos button grayed out on iCloud control panel - PC

    I cannot photo share between my PC, windows 7, and my ipad. I have icloud 3.1 and have gone through the trouble shooting steps. None of which mention what to do if the entire Photos box; including the check box, Photos title and icon and the options box are grayed out and unavailable to check or click on. I have plenty of storage, 14 GB available and my iphone and ipad share correctly. Also my contacts, calenders and tasks as well as bookmarks are working corrently.
    Please help!

    yes, same here.
    i've replied to another thread with this issue, too. other people over there complain about it as well.
    wifi signal won't turn on on iphone4s.
    i have the same problem, but noone from apple has responded so far or adressed this.
    i guess all you can do right now is wait for the next update, which should come in a few days.
    it's REALLY frustrating...!

  • My photostream photos have stopped uploading to my PC.

    My photostream used to work great and quickly sync to my pc.  In mid November it stopped working.  I did not change anything.  I've checked my settings on my phone and photostream is still on, on my icloud control panel photos is checked and in options both options are checked and apply is clicked.  My storage is not full.  My wifi on my phone is working.  I have windows 7 and an Iphone 5 ios version 7.0.4.  Please help!

    Have restarted iPhone and iPhoto on my MacBook. No luck. Have quit camera and photos on iPhone. Am running Mavericks (just updated the other day, but was having the issue before the update) and iPhoto 9.5.1 on my Mac.
    Phone and computer are almost always connected to wifi; every now and then a photo will upload to Photo Stream about 24 hours after I take it. But not always and not every photo that's taken (I took 5 the other day and 1 uploaded the next day).

  • TS3989 in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
    Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
    Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
    Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
    Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
    If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
    This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms.  Good luck!

  • Photostream Greyed out in Icloud Control Panel v.3

    I was using without error Icloud Control panel v3. on my Windows 7 PC.
    Having upgraded to IOS 7 on the phone,  Itunes 11.1 on PC and Icloud Control Panel 3.0
    I now have Photos greyed out. This was working on the previous version.
    Having signed in / out this has not made any difference.

  • IPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed.

    iPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed. The import seemed to start normally, I went to mail to check messages, came back to iPhoto & the usual prompt about wanting to delete the photos on the card never came up. The photos didn't show up in events or the library & the device icon wasn't showing so I tried to import again. A prompt then came up saying that I needed to wait until the import was done!

    Hi, this problem is also happening to me also. I just took some pics of my daughter on my nikon d3100 and imported them from SD card to iPhoto. It says 'preparing to import' but during the process i do not see the photos being imported. After it was done, there was a new event album, i clicked opend it to see my photos but all of them were blank. I forced quit and re-launched iPhoto but it didnt work, i even re-imported, not to no avail.. Please help.  Earlly 2011 13' MacBook pro 10.7.2

  • After I have deleted a file from my iphone, it still shows the song with a download button? Is there a way to get rid of this totally, so it doesn't show at all?

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.
