No photos from iphone to icloud

Hi there
Happy New Year!!
I am an Apple novice! I took loads of photos last night on my iphone and they are not appearing on my icloud when I go online on my laptop and sign in. I know I am doing something wrong but I just don't know what it is - and it is probably something really simple!!
The photo stream upload thingy is enabled on the phone itself but when I log in to icloud there is no file for photos?
Help!!

There is no way to view the Photo Stream on iCloud although there is a link you can use for Shared Photo Streams. To access the Photo Stream from a computer you need to use iPhoto on a Mac or install the iCloud Control Panel on a PC.

How can i move photos from iphone to icloud without a computer?

I keep running out of space on my iphone (4s) because of the number of photos. I have 15 gb of unused icloud storage but can't figure out how to move the photos from iphone to icloud so i free up space on the iphone. I do not have a computer.

Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store? If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhone to iCloud to free up space on iPhone?

My wife has a ton of photos on her phone which is preventing her from updating some apps and other things because her phone is out of storage space. How can she move it to her iCloud account so she can delete it from her phone? She still wants to easily access the photos from her iPhone.

You do not store photos on icloud for archiving. You do this by syncing photos onto a computer. icloud will store backups of camera roll photos, but that's only good to you if your device somehow "dies" and you must restore everything back on it. You can't selectively restore just photos from icloud.

HT4890 Question regarding uploading photos from iphone to icloud

my photo's aren't uploading from my iphone to my icloud. What am I doing wrong? I've got photo stream ON on my iphone but when I open my icloud account I have no access to pictures. Help!

I think you are confused between Photo Stream and iCloud backup, which are two different services.
iCloud backup will backup your entire device. You are not able to access this backup from a computer, it is only used to restore your phone to its previous state.
iCloud backup and restore overview:

Photo Stream is a syncing service which will sync all devices set up with your Apple ID. It will only sync photos from the last 30 days, and since Photo Stream was enabled. Photo Stream does not count towards your iCloud storage space.

Older photos and videos will need to be transferred manually.

How do i sync photos from iphone over icloud to macbook pro?

I am totally confused as to why photos taken on my iphone or ipad do not sync over icloud to my MacBook Pro.
If I sync manually I end up with everything else such as calendar and contacts duplicated.
How can I get the photos to sync over icloud?

Photos taken on one device will sync to all devices via photo stream providing that all the devices are logged into the same iCloud account and photo stream is enabled on each of those devices.

Photos from iPhone-- iPhoto-- iCloud?

I'm new-ish to the latest Apple ecosystem after being a long time user in the past, and would like to figure out if there is a way to set the following up:
1. Take a picture/video on the iPhone
2. Sync with iPhoto
3. Sync with iCloud
4. Delete photos/videos that were just synced to iCloud from both iPhone and iPhoto, so that they are not taking up storage space on my Mac/iPhone
Basically I'd like to store everything on the cloud and nowhere else. Is it possible to set this up as a seamless exercise, almost so that I don't even know its going on, and it just happens? And if so how please. Thanks!

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Initial sync of Photos from iPhone to iCloud Photo Library freezes

I had about 13,000 photos on a MacBook Pro (10.10.3) in iPhoto. Imported all to Photo, turned on Photo Library and they all transferred and synched to iCloud. Turned on iCloud Photo Library on two iPads (iOS 8.3) and one iPhone 6 and they synched just fine; all four devices now show the same set of photos and changes to any photo on any device are almost immediately reflected on all other devices. Very cool!. But my wife's iPhone 6 got about 15% of her photos synched to the cloud and then the upload/download process just stopped—that was about a week or so ago. I read Walt Mossberg's description of a similar problem he had (a "rare bug") when turning on iCloud Photo Library that required a special fix from Apple. Something to do with a photo having multiple copies on iCloud that caused the sync process to freeze. But I can't find any fixes for the problem except taking all photos off the phone and then synching, and then reloading the photos, but that sounds a bit scary.
Can anyone help? It's frustrating to have had the process work so well on four devices, only to have a fifth freeze. All are updated and all have similar settings.

IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only. It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

HT3965 Why are my photos from iPhone NOT coming up on my iPad. Same account for iCloud??

I can't sync photos from iPhone onto iPad. I have same iCloud acct for both

If you are talking about PhotoStream then it only transmits newly taken photos or just saved saved photos. Of course you have to turn PhotoStream On on each of your devices. See Settings > iCloud > Photos > Photostream.
If you just want to move selected photos between devices you can use an App like Photo Transfer:

HT201317 Is there a way to move photos from iPhone to a memory card without using iCloud

Is there a way to move photos from iPhone to a memory card or computer without using iCloud?

Yes. You can import them from your camera roll using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If you need to import photo stream photos, save them to the camera roll.

Can I move photos from pc to icloud, so I can view on iPhone

How do I move photos from pc to icloud?

Set up iCloud on your PC and enable photo stream as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, then upload the photos to photo stream as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.
If this doesn't work, you can always sync them to your phone by selecting the photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account

How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account

If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone. Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge. That will get your contacts over.
If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream. This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature. You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream. If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App. In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream. There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

HT201317 My photos from iPhone 6 appear in PNG format instead of JPG. How can that be changed?

My photos from iPhone 6 appear in PNG format instead of JPG. How can that be changed?

When using iCloud to download them, you are going through the wrong procedure. That PNG file you are downloading is just the thumb nail. Open the image in the browser, then look to the menu at the top. you will see an icon that looks like a cloud with a downward pointing arrow. Click that to download the image.
Syncing with Windows I can't help you with. I don't directly sync my iOS devices.
