My photostream is only syncing 135 of my photos.

My photostream is only syncing 135 of my photos. I know there's more in there. Why isn't adding any of the newer photos to the apple tv photostream?

I would like to add that I found the error message:
"Some of your photos, including
the photo PHOTO.JPG were not copied to the iPad because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
I hope that helps in solving the issue

ICloud only syncing a few random photos

Just downloaded iCloud to my Windows laptop so I can store all my photostream photos permenantly, but its only syncing 174 of 800 odd photos.
The photos are coming from my iPhone and iPad but neither on them have exactly 174 photos on them! So its a bit odd....
Any help? Thanks

Also, if there isnt a fix for this at present, is there a way to access my photostream when I plug the iPad/iPhone into the laptop? So that I can just drag and drop them? I'm prettty sure that last time I tried this I could only access the camera roll section of the photos.
Thanks again

Why did photostream only sync 50 out of 170 photos to my new iphone?

I purchased a new iphone 4s and turned on photostream. Only 50 of my photos synced to the new device. I've tried plugging my phone in to charge and syncing icloud when connected to wifi and...nothing. I have multiple pictures of my newborn son that I want to keep with me, but they won't sync to my phone.
Any suggestions?
Thnx.

Where are the photos being synced from?
Remember that photo stream only stores photos from a device (with camera, like iphone) after photo stream has been turned on - it won't take on old photos. If the photos are currently on your computer (where copies should be), copy the photos you want to the photo stream album (on a mac, use iphoto). Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days (a max of 1000 photos).
Additional advice:
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. This is covered in the manual.

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

I updated to an iphone5 and only a few of my photos came in from the photostream how ever all of the are still on my iPad?! How do I get the rest of the photos over to my iphone5?!

First of all, photo stream only saves up to 1000 photos and up to 30 days before they are deleted. The only thing you can do at this point is to sync the photos from the ipad to a computer and then sync to the iphone 5.

Updated to iOS6, a week later, photos disappeared and photostream/iPhoto stopped syncing.

I updated my 4s to iOS 6, and my photos were fine. A week later, and my photos have disappeared, though the album names are there. (I don't have access to a PC, so I can't use the iExplorer trick to find the photo files.)
All of my photos exist on my photostream on my iPad, but the photostream is not syncing on my iPhone. (Yes, the photostream is turned on on both devices.)
In addition, many of the photos were backed up with iPhoto, and iTunes says 44 of them shoudl be synced with my phone--but they are not syncing either.
My OS is not up to date on my Mac (I know, I know, but I deleted the app store and am too lazy to update) so I can't access my photostream on my computer.
I created a "shared" photostream with every photo from my photostream, and only 40 of 1000 photos (the one taken by my iPad rather than my iPhone) have appeared on my iphone in this shared photostream.
Questions:
1. How do I access the photo files on my iphone, given I don't have a PC? Or is a shared photostream the best option?
2. How do I get my photostream to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my phone and iPad settings say it should already be syncing?
3. How do I get iPhoto to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my computer setttings say it should already be syncing?

Videos/photostream/itunes wifi sync...

So up until ios5, you imported the photos and videos you took on your iphone into iphoto by plugging in your iphone via USB into your mac. It would open up iTunes to sync your music and movies, etc, and it would seperatly open iPhoto to import newly taken pics and videso into your library that it recognized had not already been uploaded.
Now, there is an option to sync to iTunes over Wifi, but it doesn't import your photos and videos from your phone to your iPhoto library, presumably because that's what photostream is for, right? But photostream doesn't handle video. So, if I only take picures on my iphone, then I can use itunes wifi sync to handle my music, podcasts, backup (unless I do my backup via icloud backup), movies and videos I want to include FROM my mac TO my phone, and I can use photostream to make sure any pictures I've taken land up on my iphoto library. BUT... the second I want to take a video on my iphone, then I have to plug the phone into my mac via USB? Just to do that one thing? Is this correct. Plus, what if I've taken 15 pictures and 3 videos on my iphone and I plug it in to grab those videos. Is iPhoto going to know that the pictures have already been received via photostream, and tell me all I need to upload is the videos, or, is it going to say that both the pics and videos are new, and want to upload the pics to my library also, essentially creating two copies of them in my iphoto library?
Am I overlooking something? Do I have this scenario correct?
Is it just me or is the partial overlap of iTunes wired sync vs. iTunes wifi sync vs. iCloud a bit crazy right now?!
Thanks!
ryan

I totally agree, I am very frustrated. I just spoke with Apple support on the phone and confirmed that YES indeed, you still have to plug in the USB cable and manually import your videos into iPhoto, old school style. I am deeply disappointed by this. In my family we have 5 different iphones and everyone is constantly taking lots of video of kids and such. So now this means I have to still manually connect the cable to all 5 phones on a weekly basis and manually import all the videos and delete them from the device (in order to free up space). This is exactly what I wanted to AVOID by upgrading to iCloud and setting up Photostream and wireless sync and online backups. I thought videos would be covered too, but they're NOT. Nowhere on Apple website is this explained clearly. The apple support person just gave me some lame excuse saying they "may" fix this with iPhone 5.
I think this is false advertising and almost fraudulent. After a while, you will get a popup message saying that your iCloud storage is running out of space, and asking you to purchase more. That is because the videos are still staying on your device and consuming more space, so you are running out of your 5G free iCloud storage. If instead Apple wirelessly imported the videos to iPhoto automatically and cleared up your Camera Roll, you would not run out of space, and hence wouldn't need to purchase more online storage. This sounds to me like a very sneaky way of making people buy more storage than they really need. I hope some lawyer looks into this and investigates any possible fraud or false advertising, maybe file a class action lawsuit to force Apple to fix this (rather than Apple forcing consumers to purchase more unnecessary storage).
BTW, here's my post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3536475

When iPhoto imports both from Photostream and USB sync, how to select 'remove from iphone' source and avoid duplicates?

Through observation, it appears/feels like Photostream is not only sync'ing as its own stream but (contrary to what I'd thought before) is also importing into my local iPhoto library. Is this correct? And yet, if I want to free up storage on my iPhone, I have found that the easiest, surest way is to sync by USB, select Import, and then Remove from Phone when it's done. The confusion I have here, however, is that it seems that only the photos actually imported by USB sync are candidates for removal from my phone.
If I have 500 photos, and let's say 200 photos have been photostream syncd, so when I go to Import, I select "Don't import duplicates" at the prompt, I think after Remove from Phone, I'll be left with 300 photos sitting on my iPhone.
Is this all correct? What's the best/right way to do it so I never lose a photo or video and also don't clutter up my iPhoto?
Thanks

Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

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.

HT1386 I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music). I checked it to syncing with my iPhone recently with some additional music added and it won't show up on my iPhone. It is in my iTunes, but this one playlist won't syn

I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music). I checked it on the list to sync, along with all my other playlists but when I Apply it and Sync it, the Christmas Music Playlist does not show up. It showed up one time with only 2 of 238 songs. Then it showed up with the music in the iCloud, but would only play 3 songs and would skip through a bunch of songs ending up on only those 3 songs. I can't tell you how many times I have "Synced" my phone trying to get the Christmas Playlist to show up. I changed the name, deleted the playlist and reinstalled it, deleted it on the phone and tried to reinstall it on the phone manually. Can't get it to work. Christmas will be over and I will not be able to listen to my music. THX, Lynn

Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck.

New computer only syncs itunes music from ipod but i have other songs not purchased from itunes that does not show up in new computer

Exchange email will only sync over WiFi on iPhone 6

Hello.
We use iPhones with our Exchange 2010 SP3 servers for email through activesync.
We've recently bought three iPhone 6 handsets and have set them up in exactly the same way as before - we have a mobileconfig file that runs users through the setup.
On one of them email will only sync correctly when the user is in our office and connected to our internal WiFi.
When he's using a 3g connection no new emails are delivered, though he doesn't get any error messages - it appears to sync ok, as though there are no new emails for him. Reconnect to our WiFi and email flows as normal.
I don't believe we have any DNS issues as email is working just fine for everyone else in and out of our network.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour, and ideally fixed it?
Thanks

I had this exact same problem with Email that would only sync while on company's internal wifi for my iphone 6, despite it working perfectly with my other device. Checked the settings on both devices and they were all the same. While looking online for a fix I noticed there are a lot of people with this issue, unfortunately none of the "fixes" worked for me.
Originally I had my iPhone 6 setup to match the settings on my iPad with the server name "exchange.company.com". This gave me all the check marks as expected, but it wouldn't update unless on internal wifi. I was able to get my iphone 6 working by adjusting the server name in the account settings. After I adjusted the server name to be "outlook.company.com", I got the same checkmarks and my email is now working perfectly.
Not sure why it is different between the two devices but since it has solved my issue I will ignore that portion. Hope this helps.

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

My photostream is only syncing 135 of my photos.
