Photo Stream album not listed. I have to go to iCloud to access it. ?

Trying to add photos to my photo stream. I originally have a Photo Stream on my old PC, which is now in the closet. I have all my photos on my mac. How do I access my Photo Stream? In my iPhoto, it only shows up when I go into iCloud. I don't have the little"flower" album. Does it exist anymore? I have to go into iCloud under the "shared" area where iPhoto is located. How can I get that album to show up? Do I need to access my old PC remove it and start over in Mac?

The "Shared > iCloud" item in iPhoto's Source List is the only place, where you will be seeing your Photo Stream on a Mac, that is correct.

  • I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original).  Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc.  However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded.  Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

    Hello there, Tamghosh.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Particularly:
    I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure 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%.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Sync issue - I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc.

    I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc. The photos taken do show up in My Photo Stream folder on my iphone and ipad. I have googled and noticed that this is quite a widespread problem.
    I must stress that I have never had a problem with photos from my iPhone not syncing with my pc before. This is the first time I have encountered this problem, so this has nothing to do with my Wi-Fi or my pc because nothing has changed in that respect. My pc's operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    6 days ago I took steps to try and kick start syncing again by uninstalling the iCloud panel on my pc.
    1. Uninstalled the iCloud panel.
    2. I saved all the photos that were in my My Photo Stream on my pc to another folder.
    3. Deleted the My Photo Stream folder.
    4. Rebooted.
    5. Downloaded  iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows from support Apple site and installed on my pc.
    6. Logged in to iCloud, set up syncing.
    7. Rebooted.
    I noticed that there is now a folder on my pc called iCloud Photos with subfolders which one is My Photo Stream as well as my share iPhone folders.
    The photos are still not syncing.
    I have only 34 photos in My Photo Stream on my pc.
    I have deliberately taken random photos over the last few days since the actions of uninstalling and re installing the iCloud panel.
    Out of a dozen which I took yesterday, only one has showed up in My Photo Stream on my pc. Only 6 photos out of  fifty photos which I have taken since uninstalling/reinstalling the iCloud panel have appeared in My Photo Stream on my pc.
    My iPhone shows that I have 980 photos in My Photo Stream so it shows that something is not quite right with syncing to the pc.
    Hopefully someone has an answer or a fix?
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi Amish,
    I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
    Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

  • How do I back up my photo stream album photos (not in camera roll) to USB?

    Is their a way I can directly save my photo stream to my computer? I have deleted many pictures from my camera roll and wish to keep photos in their respective photostream albums as there are over a thousand!  The only way I can seem to do it is to save the pictures back to my camera roll and back up to USB as normal but that then duplicates any photos I haven't deleted in the camera roll?! Help!

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream?
    You can delete photos from your Photo Stream the same way you delete other photos from your device. Just select the photo you want to remove and tap or click Delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices.
    Note: Deleting individual photos from Photo Stream is supported by iOS 5.1 or later, iPhoto 9.2.2 or later, Aperture 3.2.3 or later, and Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later. You will need to manually delete photos you downloaded to iOS devices running iOS 5.0.1 or earlier after updating to iOS 5.1.
    The photos you want to keep, back them up on your comp or on another drive

  • Photos not appearing in photo stream album?

    I have an iPhone 4. All aspects of iCloud work except for photo stream. When I take a photo with my iPhone it appears in the camera roll but doesn't get copied into the 'photo stream album'. Therefore it never gets synced across the cloud to my Macbook Air.
    However, my Macbook Air, using Aperture can successfully sync photos to my iPhone but can't recieve them.
    Therefore, it appears to be a problem with the iPhone end of the service and not iCloud in general.
    Have you come across this problem, would a backup and restore of the iPhone be recommended?
    Many thanks.
    Alex

    Hi, I had the same issue although it's my new iPhone4S! That whenever I took new photos with the phone they just did not synch into the photo stream. Then I think I might found the solution. I started deleting some photos from my Camera Roll album (I had over 1,300 photos there), and when the number dropped down below that magic number (1,300), the new photos I took then got synched to the photo stream!!! Oh Ya! Hopefullly this can also be the solution for you guys!

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

    Make the iTunes window wider.
    It is on the far right.

  • HT201317 In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on.   I Have latest iPhoto ?

    In iCloud, Photo Stream will not turn on.   I Have latest iPhoto ?  Yet it tells me I need to update iPhoto or Aperture.  How do I turn photo Stream on,? The FAQ were no help

    On the mac, be sure that either iphoto or Aperture is the latest version. 

  • Can I have 2 My Photo Stream Album on my iCloud Account?

    Hi!
    We have 3 Apple TV's set-up in our space in different locations and using 1 icloud account, just want to know if it's possible to have 3 different My Photo Stream Album so we have 3 different sets of photos on each apple tv. If YES, how? If no, is there any way to do that?
    Thanks

    No you can't. But what you can do is when you want to see your sons account just sign out of yours and sign in to his. Then when you want to use yours just sign in with yours. It will only take a minuet or so to do this. And you can save usage capacity by only having one

  • My photo stream will not populate on my pc but the shared albums do

    My photo stream (pc) will not populate.  The shared albums (in the same iCloud Photos folder) populate with no problem.  What's the fix?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you plug your device in by USB to your computer, you should only expect to be able to import photos from the camera roll.
    Photos from the photo stream album will only sync when photo stream is properly set up within iPhoto, you don't need to use a USB cable for this to happen.
    Check that iPhoto is up to date and that photo stream is enabled in the iCloud settings and the iPhoto preferences.

  • HT201077 When trying to select a new shared photo stream album, my iPhoto directs me to the Trash album.  Not sure what to do.

    My iPhoto is redirecting me to the Trash album instead of opening a friend's shared iCloud (Photo Stream) album.  Not sure what to do.

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.

  • How do I remove the extra photo stream albums?

    Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
    When I take a photo using the Camera App, the Photos App creates a new, separate, Photo Stream Album with only 1 photo.
    Now I have 50+ Photo Stream albums.
    Here is what I've tried, but still cannot remove these albums (in no particular order):
    - Turned on/off Photo Stream.
    - Deleted iCloud account from iPhone
    - Reset Photo Stream from iCloud.com
    - Forced quit Photos App (and all other apps)
    - Restarted the iPhone
    - Deleted all photos via Image Capture
    - Attempted to "edit" albums, but no option to delete
    But still, these photos and albums still remain. I am able to tap on an album, see the picture, and have the option to save it to my camera roll (but it doesn't actually save it to the camera roll).
    One final obervation, every time I turn on/off Photo Stream, it creates an additional empty Photo Stream album. So now the list of albums keeps growing.
    Very odd behavior. Any suggests from the community before I do a complete restore?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I have a similar problem. I told iTunes not to sync any photos and delete whatever was there. Then I turned off Photostream. Even when I did that I have an extra Photostream with no photos in it. There's no way to delete it.
