Photo resize in photo stream

I have tons of photos import to  my iMac and it automatically upload to  cloud to become photo stream.
I saw the photos in photo stream in my Mac shows resolution in 3872X2592.
But after my ipad 2 completely downloaded all the photos in photostream, they are all resized to  2294X1536.
Is that noraml? Cause I thought the photo stream is uploading the original importing image to the cloud.
Is there any setting I need to set or it would resize eventually?
Thanks for helping.

Thanks for answering.
Cause I have some photos want to do some post processing in ipad via some tools like snapspeed.
It happended to be the recently imported photos. So my work flow  is to get the photo from photostream in ipad.
After finishing post processing, it automatically creates a new  photo in photostream (which I love that).
And I can easily get the photo in  my iMac via photo stream.
That's why I found the resolution changed, cause at first I even want to replace my original one.
So I think if I want preserver the resolution, maybe I can use your way.
Thanks agiain.

  • How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

    How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac?  I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone!  I don't want all those pictures on my phone.  Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

    Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes.  Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached).  Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.

  • I copied the photos from my photo stream folder to a new folder on my macbook pro. I then deleted the phots in my photo stream folder. It erased them from the other folder as well. Why? Where did they go? Can I get them back? Please help. Thanks.

    Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.

    You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
    Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
    Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
    Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
    Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
    Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app.

  • Can not add photos to my photo stream.

    This morning I started my computer and got the following error.
    I get the error on my PC
    My Photo Stream can't be updated
    iCloud Photos can't update because you don't have permission to add files to download folder.  Open iCloud to pick another folder.
    then I get the error:
    The upload folder for iCloud Photos is missing
    The upload folder for iCloud Photos had been moved or deleted.  Open iCloud to pick a new folder.
    As far as I know, nothing has changed on my computer.  I can not add anything to the iCloud Photos folder.

    Best I can tell it's either because that wouldn't work on the iPad, or they haven't enabled it.
    Select a Photo (or Photos) in the Photo Stream and click the + button on the toolbar. You can then choose which Albums to Add it to.

  • I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

    Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best.  Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself.  A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network.  Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

    My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works.  I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong!  I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).  I've enabled iCloud Drive on both.  iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
    I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends.   iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud.  I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one. 
    So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled.  However, it doesn't seem to work.  The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
    I've just done the following test:
    I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
    On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
    In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
    I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
    On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
    A  minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream.  So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
    Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen.  If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself.  Am I right?  Why only 37?
    On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
    I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
    In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
    Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
    If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
    In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
    Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos.  I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
    I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
    Can anyone help?  If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
    Thank you!

    Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
    1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
    2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
    3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
    4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
    5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
    6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally

  • HT5622 I have issues with my iphone putting all my photos in the photo stream and an issue with my icloud on my PC updating the photo s stream.

    Some of the photo I take with my iphone will not get saved into my photo stream.   Some of these photos were taken while the iphone was connected to the wifi, but did not get saved.  Other photos were while not on wifi and they seem to get saved.  I have not narrowed down what is the difference between those photos that get saved and those that don't get saved.  Is there a way to force a photo to get saved?  I would like to be able to access these photos from all my devices. 
    I also have an issue with the photo stream on my PC getting updated.  I have photos in the photo stream that is updated on my Ipad and iphone.  However, these photos are not getting updated on the PC.  Everything seems to be set up on the icloud and photos stream for the PC. 
    Thanks,

    That is the way it is designed to work.  If you want the photos on your Mac on your new iPhone, you can sync them with iTunes.

  • Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • 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:

  • HT201317 I just recently switched back to my iPhone 5 c and I had all my photos on my photo stream but once I transferred photos from an old phone to thoe 5 c my photo stream won't download all my pictures what should I do?

    I just want to know how I can have all my photos back on my phone

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • I lost my photos on my photo stream , how i can get them back? my laptop is a pc, no mac

    this is what happend
    my iphone 4 got stolen about a month ago, soo i buy a new iphone 4s
    i used my 4s only with the feedback given by icloud
    i never connect the new iphone to my latop until today
    today when i connected the 4s, all the information on it get erased!!
    the 4s got all the old information of the 4
    i dont know what to do, i have already put on the syn option for the photo stream in the 4s since the first day a bougth it,
    but now when i look to it it is emty
    the last synchronization to icloud was today at 11am and in that time the were about 174 photos on the photo stream but now there no one!
    what i can do? when i go to my pc i can see the photos on the photo stream!
    helpppp please!!!

    Often a simple reboot will resolve the problem. If it doesn't, do a test copy in the Finder from the source to the backup volume. Is that slow too? Delete the copied files from the backup volume after the test.

  • Hi,   My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC

    Hi,
    My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
    When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos.  That option is ghosted.  I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  All help is appreciated!  Thanks!

  • HT4847 I need to free up space in my iCloud - most of it is used by photos - if I stop backing up my camera roll will it send the photos to my photo stream?? I already backup all photos on photo stream on my macbook??

    so if I stop backing up my camera roll and delete the ones stored on icloud - will it still send all new photos taken to my photostream?? I already save the photos on my macbook.
    thanks sheri

    Yes, Photo Streams work independent of the iOS Backup.
    But a better way to manage your photos would be best. Use Camera Roll for new photos only like we used to do with the old film cameras. Once your Photos are organized into iPhoto on your Mac sync them back to the iPhone through iTunes. The photos in the Photo Library on the iPhone are not included with the iOS Backup since they should be already backed up in the computer's backups.
