My photos are not uploading photos to the cloud

Hi,
I migrated my iPhoto library to the new Photos. I did not turn the upload to the iCloud option because I didn't have sufficient storage.
Later I upgraded my iCloud to 200GB and I turned on the iCloud Photo Library option.
The problem is that Photos are spending long hours showing that it is updating iCloud photo but the process so far is 0%.
My Photos library is large, more that 100GB.
How can I copy my photo library to the cloud?
Thanks,
Tareq

I have about 1,200 photos and I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me.
I have an iPhone 6 an iPad and a iMac. I shut down all open and or running applications on all devices. I then rebooted all three devices. I then disabled sleep and auto-lock on all devices. I then opened Photos on all three devices. All 1,200 photos uploaded in about two hours.
this might not work for others but it worked for me.

Updates are not installing and lost the cloud app

I cannot download anything - says downloading, but I get nothing. my cloud disappeared yesterday. today I cannot save any files in InDesignCC HELP.

1) Uninstall Creative Cloud
2) Go to Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial and install again.
3) Restart your computer after the installation and the problem will be fixed.
I was on a phone couple minute ago with a tech support from Adobe and by doing those steps the problem was fixed.

The photos in camera roll are not uploading to my photo stream.

The photos in my camera roll on my iPhone are not uploading to my Photo Stream. Both devices are logged in to the same apple account and both are connected to wifi.

Is your iPhone properly charged? It will not update, if the battery is low, and will not upload, if the camera app is open. So make sure the camera is closed - double click the Home button and swipe the camera preview up to close the app.

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Hope this helps.

My phone photos are not uploaded automatically to my PC

I am using an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air both running on IOS 8.1. The iCloud version I am using is 4.0.3.56 (latest version at the moment).
iCould used to upload all my new photos to the "PhotoStream" folder in my PC but is not working anymore. I tried to uninstall iCloud and it does works for a moment but not very long. The next day when I took some new photos or someone sent me some new photos, these photos are not uploaded into my PC.
I found a solution on this communities. The solution was like 1 or 2 years ago, asking to install the older version of the iCloud. I have tried it but is not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

Hi, I have a new iPad air, all of the photos from the cloud are not showing up. What do I need to do to get all my photos from the cloud onto my new iPad air? Thanks!!

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3? How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

HT1338 I have a problem with the aspect ratio of photos as they appear on iPhoto. They are not correct. On the original photo people were fat and squat. I tried rotating and they became long and narrow. Neither correct.

Sounds more like a problem with your Display Resolution than iPhoto.
Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays and in the Resolutions list select,
1280 x 800 if you have a 13" MacBook Pro
1400 x 900 if you have a 15" MacBook Pro
1920 x 1200 if you have a 17" Macbook Pro

TS3989 new photos are not uploading to photostream

i have a iphone 4s, ipad 2 and a MacPro using iPhoto. Yesterday my devices stopped uploading NEW pictures to PhotoStream. I've tested it by taking pictures with each device and waiting to see if it shows up in photostream. Nothing works. Is still have the old photostream pics, but new pictures are NOT uploading to photostream.

Extra piece of information:
now I shut down the Personal Hotspot, bringing back the iPhone to the "suspected" wi-fi network and the photostream on the iPhone immediately showed the pics I took on the iPad (but not those I took on the iPhone, which are present in the Camera roll, but not on the Photostream). Those pics showed up on the Mac already earlier, thru the Personal Hotspot connection on the iPhone
So it seems that this wi-fi network allows for very good download to the iOS6 devices but for some reasons does not allow the upload to the photostream of the new pics from the iOS6 devices.
On the other hand, if the added pictures is on the Mac, then it is uploaded and immediately shows up on the iPad and iPhone.
To make things even more complex, my girlfriend has iphone 4S and iPad 2 both on iOS6, and for her the photostream works perfect with this wi-fi network... really bizarre.
I consider the issue closed: this network does not like me for some reason, I'll be back to my normal network tomorrow and things will be (hopefully) back to normal.
Thank you again.

Some pictures on my iphone 4s are not uploaded to Icloud and Photostream and stay in the camera roll

After taking pictures with my IPhone 4S the pictures are not uploaded from the camera roll to ICloud and my Ipad. The pictures do not show up in the the IPhone Photostream after taken. Any solutions?

Hello,
I have experienced a similar issue.
Normally all photos from iPhone or iPad correctly push to photostream and it works.
But on a recent travel the photostream pushing seemed "spotty" and some random pictures taken with iPhone were/are not pushed to photostream. On the destination there was a (slow) wifi connection, might have something to do with it - but even after getting home to my faster wifi connection the remaining photos in my camera roll are still not pushed to photostream from the iPhone.
The missing photos not being pushed from the iPhone to photostream are random in timeline ("spotty" pushing).
Any ideas on why this happens?
I guess after connecting the iPhone to my Mac the entire camera roll will load into iPhoto, and iPhoto on Mac will do the remaining "pushing" to photostream; will have to wait and see.
But this issue purely is about incomplete pushing from iPhone camera roll to photostream.

What to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

Well, the web site building we can get out of the way rather easily: You cannot build websites with any Photoshop related applications. Adobe has other applications for that.
You can still buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 with a perpetual license—no monthly payments and you own it. $700 for the standard version, $1,000 for the extended version.
The Photographer's deal gives you a subscription to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month, but you never get to own the software. The moment you stop paying, the software ceases to work.
The Cloud thing is not really on-line. It resides on your computer. It only has to call the mother ship once a month or so.
Then there's the bargain-basement priced, emasculated Photoshop Elements, with some hand-holding features.
I'm a septuagenarian too, but then I've been using computers for decades, Photoshop seriously for over twelve years. Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Depending on exactly how much editing you need to do to those products shots, you may be satisfied with Ps Elements mentioned above.
There are trial versions for all of the above.

HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

When I place photos on the cloud to share with friends, the photo IDinformation I have entered with the photo does not transfer. Is there a way to have the text follow the photo in the cloud?

When I place an Aperture photo on the cloud to share with friends, the idenfifcation information I have entered for the photo does not transfer to the cloud and thus my friends get only the photo. Is there a setting I am missing that would allow the text to go along with the photograph?

The photo stream will transfer the EXIF information set by the camera and the filname/version name. Try to get any information you want to transfer into the filename by batch changing the filename with "write to master" enabled. Aloso, you can set a comment, when sharing the image to the Photo Stream.

See the following quote from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

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.
