Photo Library not uploading from iPhone 6

Hi, I have a new iPhone 6, updated with 8.3. I activated the Apple Library more than three days ago and still no photos got uploaded. I tried signing out iCloud and back on but still nothing happening, with the iPhone fully charged and connected to wifi. I have 20Gb of space in iCloud and only around 1,300 photos to upload. Is there anything you can recommend ?
Thanks a lot,
Regards

The upload is slow. You don't say how large your photos library is, but here is my experience so far: I have a ~50 GB photo library that has been uploading for over a week. It's probably about 45% done uploading. My ISP says I should be able to get 864 kbps upload speed, but my library is uploading at about 140 kbps, a fraction of what it should be. Many people are seeing this same behavior, and there are various conjectures as to why. Someone needs to ask Apple about this.
Meanwhile, here is what you can to do to assure yourself that the upload is progressing. In the Preferences pane of the Photos App, you can monitor how many pix are left to go. This number changes in batches, and so checking on it periodically should show a decreasing number. The other thing I am doing is monitoring the outgoing network traffic speed. You can do this in the Activity Monitor by selecting he Network tab and looking at the table at the bottom, which shows statistics on your network use. The date sent/sec in the lower right box is a number to pay attention to. Compare this with what your ISP says you should be able to do on upload.
Finally, log into your iCloud account with your favorite browser and take a look at the photos that are there. As things progress, you should see more of them showing up there. They apparently don't get uploaded in any particular order, so there will be gaps in some of the dates, in all probability.
Let me know how it goes.

  • Icloud photo does not upload from iphone

    Dear Apple (yes other users I know this is not for Apple. Like many I am fed up by not seeing this issue fix even after OS 10.10.3 and iOS 8.3, so pardon me if I'm a bit testy).
    For many many months since the iCloud Photo Beta we (I will take the liberty to speak for others in another thread that was titled 'beta' and we have been chastised and told in no uncertain terms to start a new thread so here)... have had situations where iPhone and iPad will not upload new photos to iCloud Photo. nor does it download 'as advertised'.
    Please don't ask us if we have tried turning iCloud Photo off-on-off on our iOS devices, we have.
    Left iPhoto in 10.10.3 running... turned everything off everywhere... turned it back on everywhere...
    Submitted (me, probably 5 times) to the Feedback APple or whatever it is called.
    Submitted error reports from iCloud Photo on the web which cannot start do anything... about 5 times...
    So, till now nothing.
    But I will help to grow your $180bn reserves by feeding a measly $3.99 a month for 250GB (or is that $2.99? can't remember now)... for NOTHING. At least I'm keeping some allocation warm.
    My love to Tim and all the guys and gals
    I don't know what else to do. It's not like if you have a problem one can actually hear/get indication from anyone at Apple on what to do/how to do etc..
    So, here I am starting a new thread as 'suggested' by so many people... I am sure others will provide factual/objective reports sans sarcasm. Sorry that I can't because I am totally fed up with this situation.
    With love, on behalf of the 4 iPhones, 1 iMac, 1 Mac Book Air, 1 MacBook (old), 1 MBP 15" old, 1 MBP 13" Retina, 1 Apple TV, 1 AirPort Express, god knows how many ipods etc etc in my household.
    Yes, I'm an idiot Apple Fan...

    Hey all,
    I've transitioned to the iCloud Photo Library. All my photos sync across all devices (iPhone, iMac, iCloud.com) - I have the new Beta Photo app running on my Mac as well.
    I've realized that with this setup if I delete a photo from one place, it disappears everywhere. Which I guess is convenient.
    However, I don't see a way to differentiate which photos I keep on which devices. All my libraries "have" to be identical.
    What do you men by 'all my libraries' You have 1 library, it's on iCloud, if you delete from there all devices connected to the account will see that you deleted it because it is no longer there.
    Don't use the iCloud library if you want different libraries on each device.

  • HT201317 Photostream not uploading from iPhone to iPhoto

    iPhone photos not uploading to my iMac iPhoto app. Everything is set to on for Photostream on both devices. Camera is shut down on phone. Wi-fi is set on for both devices. Phone shows in Photostream album. Nothing online in Photostream or iPhoto on Mac.

    Same problem here!  Just upgraded my iMac (Version 10.8 | 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo | 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM) to Mountain Lion this morning and all of a sudden my photostream will not sync photos from my iPad2 or iPhone4S to my iPhoto (fully updated) on the iMac.
    Yes.  iPhoto has been fully updated.
    Yes.  iPhone4S and iPad2 are also fully updated.
    Yes.  Wifi is good on all devices.
    Yes.  iPhone4S shows photostream working on it.
    Yes.  iPad2 shows photostream working on it. 
    Yes.  iPhoto is enabled and signed in with iTunes account on my iMac.
    And...
    No.   iPhoto on iMac will not bring the photos in from iPhone4S or iPad2.
    Anyone have any ideas or know of any info regarding this?  Thanks!

  • Photos will not sync from iphone to pc!

    Hi I have the 3GS and when I plug it into my pc, both vista and xp, it does not sync my photos. With my 3G it will auto sync and download any new pics I have taken, but not with the 3GS. When I unplug it it says new camera found, even though its unpluged? PLEASE HELP.

    When there are photos in your iPhone's camera roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, or should be. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are imported as with any other digital camera, not synced.
    XP includes a camera and scanner wizard and Vista should include the same or similar for importing photos from a digital camera including from the iPhone's camera roll.

  • Is there a limit to how many photos you can upload from iphone to PC?

    I have an iphone 4 and want to upload photos from my phone to my PC.  In the past all I did was plug in the phone to the PC and the import wizard would start.  Now I go to the iphone in my explorer and right click on "import photos and videos" but it always tells me that there are no photos or videos to import.  I know there are new photos on my phone.
    Any thoughts?

    Are those photos or videos in your camera roll? or in shared albums or photostream?
    You can only import photos from camera roll.

  • HT201317 My photos are not streaming from iPhone to ipad

    I've got all iCloud settings set up but my photos don't seem to be going in between my devices

    Try going to a public wifi hotspot, take a photo then see if it appears in your photo stream album after a minute or so.  If it does, then then issue is related to your home wifi.  Some users (particulary those with Comcast/Aris routers) are reporting this issue with their home wifi.

  • Photo stream not updating from camera

    I've been having a days worth of trouble with my iphone camera.  Pictures are in the camera roll but never move to the photo stream.  If I connect the phone to my mac, and import the pictures into iphoto and THEN into photo stream, the pictures show up.  This is not how stream is supposed to work.  Any thoughts?  I've turned the cloud settings on and off, the stream never fully syncs.

    Hi MacTeacher,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    These tips may help with troubleshooting your Photo Stream:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6

    Photo albums not deleting from my iphone 6 even after i remove them from itunes. plus it shows as others in the storage. how to remove the albums ? i removed them from the itunes linked folders though it still shows on the iphone !!!

    If they were placed on the phone using iTunes sync, the following from iTunes: Syncing photos has instructions on how to remove them. If that doesn't work it is usually because they were added from another computer. Many have reported success by first adding one or two new photos to the phone via iTunes sync using the instructions in the above link and then syncing again using the delete instructions below.
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • IPhone 6 photo library not responsive

    Just migr

    Just migrate from iPhone 5 32GB to iPhone 6 64GB (using iTunes backup and restore). Migrated my 19.6GB of photo library to my new iPhone 6 as well.
    However, browsing through my photos on the new iPhone 6 has very slow-responsiveness, and sometime just freezes. Have not encountered such issue on my old iPhone 5. Tried reset the iPhone 6, restore iOS 8.0.2 using iTunes, but without much helps.
    Just wondering if anyone having similar issue, and with any tips and tricks to resolve this?
    Thanks!

  • My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

    My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

    Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/
