Photo Stream and PC-Need help

I have never been able to get Photo Stream to work. I keep getting a message that the exe. has failed and windows can not find an answer. Anyone else on a PC with Vista have this problem? Is it windows or vista or what? Help!

I had tried a repair and that didn't work so I did as you said. I uninstalled and reinstalled. This time I did it through Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. Also, I left the Photo Stream folder where iCloud suggested instead of moving it to my picture folder. Anyway, it working! Thank you.

I updated my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion. The problem is none of my pictures go to my IPad or iPhone. When I checked my settings, I go into ICloud and photo Stream, and it tells me that I need to buy a update. Any help would be appreciated.

Then maybe you need to buy an update.

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

My iTunes detects photos on my iPhone and it's taking up almost 4 GB, but there are no photos on my iPhone-. need help

my iTunes detects photos on my iPhone and it's taking up almost 4 GB, but there are no photos on my iPhone…. need help

This means you have 4Gb of photos in your trash.
Go to Photos - recently deleted (an option in the same menu as "camera roll" and "photo stream") and finally delete the photos.
The 4Gb of space will then be cleared.

Thanks for responding. When I open the email and click on Subscribe to this Photo Stream, this is the message I get:
To subscribe to Pamela Mccormack’s “Baltimore Zoo” photo stream on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, open your invitation in the Mail app, and click the Subscribe button in the message.
To subscribe you need to be signed in to iCloud on:
an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later, or
a Mac with OS X 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
So I have Mac OS X 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3 installed.

IOS 8: my photo stream and camera roll got messed up

I installed IOS 8 this morning and have not been able to see my photos as they were in IOS 7 since. Currently I can see 128 photos in my "collections" tab for the year 2014 dating back to August 31st. These same photos appear in my "recently added" section though they aren't in any order they're jumbled around!
What I've tried/things to know
Taking the advice from another thread I restarted my iPhone 5s while my photo stream in iCloud settings on and off again.
Before restarting I had 0 photos in my photos app. After following the advice I watched as 128 photos appeared in the recently added and collections tab.
While I had IOS 7 I was able to see many "years" in the photos not just 2014. I also had 1000 photos in my photo stream and stuff in the camera roll
I called Apple's help line and customer service said to see the rest of my photos I would have to download them off my computer where I have them backed up
I'm wondering:
How can I see more than 128 photos (from the past) on my iPhone? It seems like a regression in technology if I used to be able to see 1000.
Are my photos in the "recently added" section supposed to be in a random order? It's hard to view them this way.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!

This are probably the photos from My Photo Stream ,that are currently stored in iCloud. iCloud will keep the the photos added during the last month, and then they may be removed to make space for newer photos. Your iPhone may be storing up to 1000 photos, but when you reset the Photo Stream, these will be deleted. When you activate Photo Stream again, you will now see what is currently in iCloud, and that will be now the photos from September, see: iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
How can I see more than 128 photos (from the past) on my iPhone? It seems like a regression in technology if I used to be able to see 1000.
Have these 1000 photos been taken on your iPhone or synced from your Mac, or transferred by Photo Stream? If they have been synced, you need to sync again with your Mac, and if it has been the Photo Stream, upload them again, because they are no longer in iCloud.
Did you by any chance enable the iCloud PhotoLibrary in the Photos&Camera settings, if it is available on your device? If yes, that would explain why your synced photos have been removed. If not, don't enable t, or you will no longer be able to sync the photos with iTunes.

HT201317 iphone not my photos are appearing in the photo stream and it's all enabled what problem?

iphone not my photos are appearing in the photo stream and it's all enabled what problem?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

I'm adding photos to photo stream and they aren't showing up

I'm adding photos to photo stream and they aren't showing up - help!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How do i change my icloud account without it deleting all my photos in my photo stream and documents on my phone?

i am trying to change my icloud account so that it is the same as my apple id. ive looked at similar questions people have asked and done what they said but when i got to delete my existing icloud account it tells me that if i proceed i will lose all of my photos in my photo stream and documents on my phone which i obviously dont want to to. i need help!

To change the ID for iCloud you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. Deleting the account only deletes the account and your synced data from your iPad, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will be synced back to your iPad when you sign back in. If, on the other hand, you are changing to a new account and need to migrate your data to the new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge when your enable syncing with the new account to upload your data.
If you want to save your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. I Do Not want to Loose any photos or albums by deleting them from my phone and not backing them up correctly. My iCloud backup is only storing my "Photo Stream" and I can not locate them in iTunes after I sync/Back up.

I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. My storage is almost full on my phone. There are only 80 mg available. I am new to icloud and also have always had trouble navigating around iTunes. (Even after endlessly reading through support and help topics as well as calling) My concern is about Not Losing any of my photos if I delete them from my phone. I have to delete a large portion of my camera roll as well as the Album Folders I have created. Although it would be great if there was a way to just keep my albums still. I have already backed them up to an external hard-drive, my computer and a geek stick. I'm not trying to be too paranoid about these photos, but, they are all of my 3 children. There are over 4000 pictures stored on my phone. Some photos go back as far as 2009. Can you offer any information about backing up my Camera Roll, not just "Photo Stream", and albums I've created On my phone? I read that it's good to back photos up on both iTunes as well as icloud. I even purchased extra icloud storage to back them all up. I do regularly back up/sync, my phone to my computers. However, I cannot even locate where they are stored on iTunes, let alone look at them. And as far as my iCloud backup, it only stores the new pictures from "Photo Stream". Please offer any advice you may have. I do not use up a lot of storage on my phone other than Photos and Contacts (it's a work phone). I would definitely be able to sleep better knowing my children can one day see these pictures of themselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you,

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

Photo Stream and MobileMe in iPhoto: I don't get it!

Hi
Photo Stream is on for iPhoto on my iMac, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch.
I'm somewhat confused about how to handle this feature - aside from the basic understanding that it syncs photos I take, say, on my iPhone, to all other devices without the need to manually sync.
Could someone please confirm / suggest answers to the following;
1) photos I take on my iPhone are shown in my camera roll and under a separate photo stream roll. I understand that photo stream on iOS devices holds the last 1000 images taken (unless you delete some following iOS 5.1). Correct?
2) my iPhoto library on my iMac stores 100% of the photo stream photos thereby negating the need to manually sync my iPhone (which I use to take photos) with iMac. Correct again?
3) Under 'Events' on iPhoto (iMac) it seems to create a new 'event' every month (and christens it, say, as 'March 2012 photo stream' for example) which holds that months images taken.
a) the folders appear in the top left hand corner of the 'Events' page which I don't like as all other events are shown in chronological order (i.e. the latest 'event' being in the bottom right corner of the page). Can I do anything about this, as in set it so that the photo stream folders create themselves at the bottom of the screen after the previous last event?
b) These monthly 'events' are just that; events that have happened within that last month which could comprise of several different events. I categorise by actual event rather than everything that has happened within a particular time frame. This therefore immediately conflicts with photo stream. I presume I am perhaps meant to select certain 'events' within the month's photo stream and then create a new 'event' from that but I don't know how to do this? Could anyone advise how / what they do?
4) I had a MobileMe account which expired last year. Instead of resurrecting the email address for my iCloud account I chose a slightly different one. This seems to pose a problem as under 'Albums' I have several MobileMe albums which generate a pop-up box asking me to log in. As my MobileMe account is expired, the password prompt is not accepted. I therefore can't share my photos as I previously did. Is there a work-around?
Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. a: View Menu -> Sort Events
3. b Flag the photos you want to move and go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos

Aperture, Photo Stream and new iPhone

My wife just got her first iPhone but was disappointed when she looked at Photo Stream and only about 85 shots showed - I guess the ones that were sent to the iCloud in the past 30 days. She wanted some of the older ones.
So - figuring I would be a good hubby - I went into Aperture, where there are about 550 shots showing in Photo Stream, going back to last year. But when I selected some of the older ones and said "share in Photo Stream" they would not appear on her phone. I am assuming this is because Aperture still sees them as "being in Photo Stream" and therefore sees no reason to "add them to Photo Stream". How do I get around this? Do I have to delete them from the Aperture copy of Photo Stream (they are not on either iPhone nor my iPad Mini) and then re-share them from the actual Aperture library?
Thanks for any assistance.

First of all you need to be using the same AppleID on her iPhone and the Mac with Aperture in order to see the same "My Photo Stream". (I'm assuming you are or you wouldn't see any of the photos. But just in case...)
There is more than one Photo Stream. Your main Photo Stream is called "My Photo Stream". This is only visible to Macs and iOS devices signed into the same AppleID. You can have other "Shared Photo Streams" that you can share with other AppleIDs or even publicly using a URL.
To share a photo to Photo Stream, you select it in the browser and choose (right-click) Share->Photo Stream and a dialog will appear. Within this dialog there's a popup menu that determines where to share it. You can select "New Photo Stream" which will create a new Shared Photo Stream. Or if you've already created some Shared Photo Streams, they will appear in the menu and you can add to them.
There's an additional entry in that menu called "My Photo Stream". This doesn't appear if the photo you are sharing is already in the My Photo Stream location in Aperture. So you cannot add a photo in My Photo Stream to My Photo Stream if that is where it is already located in Aperture. If you select a photo from inside a project in Aperture you will then see the "My Photo Stream" entry in the Share->Photo Stream dialog.
Solutions for you:
To get a photo back into My Photo Stream for other devices to see, go to the project where the photo lives and Share->Photo Stream and select "My Photo Stream". By default, Aperture imports all Photo Stream photos into a monthly project automatically. If you disabled this in preferences, you could manually import it using drag and drop from My Photo Stream to a project in the library sidebar.
To get a photo into a Shared Photo Stream, select it and choose Share->Photo Stream and select New Photo Stream from the popup menu. Give it a name and description. If your wife is using the same AppleID, it will automatically show up on her iPhone in the Photos->Photo Stream app. If she is using her own AppleID, you can share it with her by adding her AppleID in the share dialog.

HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

Lost pics,photo stream and camera roll?

LLost pics,photo stream and camera roll after 8.0.2 download. What to do?

Hey Monicafromeaton town,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.

When I try to install iTunes 10.5, it says, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have Windows XP and I need help.

5, it says, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have Windows XP and I need help.

After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much!
