Photo Stream Delay Issues
Photo Stream Delay. When I take pictures on my iPhone 4s or ipad3 it take 8 hours or even days to reach my other devices. How do you fix this delay is awful. I have the same isse even when on WIFI?
You must be on WiFi for Photostream to work. When devices are all on the same wifi network is when the photos will be "pushed" to the other devices;
See following link to article about how Photostream works; It really helps.

TS3989 Photo stream upload issues
I have had battery issues with my iphone 4s and as a result took it to genious bar. My iphone was wiped and resotred as a new device.
my phone was restored from icloud where i had approx 200 photos in photo stream. however only 9 photos from my photo stream uploaded back onto my iphone.
can anyone assist on how to retrieve these photograph.
thanksYou will have to Pardon my ignorance. I am a relative beginner to this.
The staff member at the genius bar checked my phone and he said the photograph that where on my photo stream prior to doing the restore would automatically upload on to my iPhone when I restore my settings from iCloud. However only 9 photos done this and there other 100 odd photos didn't.
I am confused! -
Shared photo stream quality issue
Shared photo stream FAQ states that:
"Shared Photo Streams supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide."
Since I'm a little OCD about photo organization, I collect and organize all the photos my girlfriend and I take. She shares all of her picture from her iPhone 5s on a shared photo stream and I import them to iPhoto on my MBP. However, I have just realized to my great surprise that all her picture were downgraded in 2048 x 1536, even though I have downloaded them to my Mac. Anyone has the same issue or has any idea what is going on? The FAQ clearly said that they would be downloaded in full definition, but they aren't, which is really annoying as we often do large books for which the higher resolution is necessary, not to mention my retina display screen and 4K monitor.
the FAQYou should double check your and your daughter's icloud ID as currently set, because what you describe happens when two people share the same icloud account (and I assume you are talking about a "photo stream" and not a "shared photo stream").
Settings>icloud, be sure the accounts are different. -
Photo stream/Camera issues on iPhone 6, iOS 8.3?
I have an iPhone 6 on iOS 8.3 and there were lots of previously taken photos without locations and I wanted to add them in. So, I connected my phone to my MacBook Air and imported my phone pictures into an album on my Mac. I individually added the locations of all of my phone pictures. Afterwards, I deleted the pictures on my phone and went to iTunes to sync the album with my updated phone pictures on to my phone. I expected them to go to the camera roll, but there was an undeletable folder labeled "from my Mac" instead. I had no option but to manually save each picture by pressing "Duplicate to edit" and then pressing cancel. After I did this, I realized that there were lots of repeats in my photo stream- usually 2 or 3 of the same picture. I went through and deleted some of the extras, only to realize my camera roll was shrinking with it. Could anyone please help me with a) syncing pictures from Mac directly to camera roll, b) removing duplicated pictures in photo stream without deleting them from the camera roll? Thanks.
Use a different device or a computer to read the PDF. There is no way to run both on a single device.

TS3989 Apple TV photo stream login issues
Can anyone tell me how to access photo stream on my Apple TV I am using the correct username and password details but it still replies with a message that my details are incorrect
The subject refers to photo stream, but your post is dealing with home sharing.
If it is home sharing, as your post indicates, then both need to be on the same network (same location) as well as have the same ID -
Anyone else seeing photo stream duplicate files?
I have numerous, maybe all, of the photos in my photo stream are duplicated. One file name is upper case, then duplicated in lower case. I revealed the photos in Finder, and you can see the duplicate photo example below. On file is IMG_1072.JPG and the other is img_1072.jpg. The timestamp of the files are hours apart.
Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

I did a web search for photo stream duplicate issues, and did not find one thread regarding this! I don't know what is causing the duplicates yet, but I have my suspicions. Here are three things that have changed recently which may be related to the problem:
1. I installed Aperture, which shares the same library as iPhoto.
2. I recently began sharing my photo stream, but I'm not sure if the dups occurred before or after that.
3. I created an Image Capture plugin which copies image files from my iPhone to a directory, changes file names to lower case, uses ImageMagick to add a small date stamp, etc. But I haven't even run this workflow on the two files listed below yet.
So, I'm still investigating... -
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.

IPhoto (9.4.2) Photo stream issues
Im having issues with Photo stream on Iphoto
I keep on getting this error message everytime I try to use photo stream within Iphoto
Photos for the iCloud account “<email address>” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
I've taken a look in the iCloud settings and everything for photo stream is switched on
When I do try and share a photo stream the pictures I add don't appear (album is empty)
The email address I use for the iCloud setup is not an apple one but I dont think this would matter. Was working before I updated to version 9.4.2
Any help would be much appreciatedIm having issues with Photo stream on Iphoto

I tried to send a photo on my phone in a chat message. The photo locked up. I can't get back to photo stream. How do I restart phone or solve issue otherwise.
More than likely you can get the phone back by doing a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Dear All,
Recently I have started to use Photo Stream available from iCloud on iPhone device. I have made “test” photo stream with several photos in and set to “public website” in order to share photos with my relatives.
The issue is with Internet Explorer where list of photos (thumbnails) are shown in gray color. I can view photo one by one and slideshow also works fine.
On other computers IE behaves the same way.
https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A2532ODWsAl87
No issue with photo list in thumbnails using Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
Can someone help on this issue?
It is very convenient to share photos via photo stream, but most of viewers by default has IE and many of them don’t have iCould account or apple device.
Kind regards,
MDear safari rss
Indeed, you are right, I have updated IE to version 10 and no issue with page view.
Solution woud be to update IE to version 10 (I have not tested IE9).
However users using Windows XP can have highest IE version 8. IE9 or IE10 is not suported in XP.
Unfortunatelly there are still many windows XP at my friends circle.
Thank you,
Best regards -
Photo Stream issue. Photo Stream shows 263 photos when viewed on the iMac, 289 when viewed on the iPad and 327 when viewed on the iPhone. How can this be? Tried shut down on all devices, reboot and the results are the same.

Only a small portion of my photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone go to the cloud then to my iPad. I only have 150 pictuures so it can be a capacity issue?? Any advice ?
OK, so it's working the way it is supposed to. With any device that is retrieving photo stream photos from the cloud, it will only retrieve back to the time that photo stream was turned on for that device.
Now that you have it turned on, any photos you take will show up in photo stream for either device from now on.
Hope that helps!

2 iPhones and issues with photos into iPhoto Photo Stream
Both my husband and I have new iPhones; we also have an iPad and iMac. I mention this only because I'm hoping to find a solution to a minor problem when our photos get imported to the Photo Stream. Some of our photos have the same file name - because they are coming from 2 different phones. The issue is when the photo stream is updating, we get a message saying there is a file (or files) with the same name - and we have to make a decision about keeping them or renaming them.
Anyone know of a 'fix' for this....I mean, this will be an ongoing issue because he's at photo image # 523 and I'm at image # 347 (or something along those lines).
Thanks!It sounds like you are both using the same Apple ID.
You both need to have your own Apple ID for iCloud. -
IPhone camera roll to photo stream issue.
I have just taken a number of photos on my iPhone. They are in my camera roll but have not moved to my photo stream, so they won't sync with iPhoto. As far as I am aware everything is set up to sync and I have successfully synced multiple photos before.
This is a common problem with iOS devices & iCloud.
There have been issues with syncing from day one, and Apple still has not got it right.
Why not add a force sync/send to cloud function? That would be a simple solution.
But if Apple added that simple solution, they would in fact be admitting that there's a problem with sync.
Apple does not like to acknowledge problems.
So we are left on our own to come up with a workaround. Here's mine.
Within the Photo app create a new photo stream on iCloud, and set it so you are the only subscriber.
Then when you take a picture you wish to sync across all your iOS devices, simply select it and "share" it with the stream you created.

Is there a way to use the Apple digital AV adapter to mirror the iPhone 4 (not 4s) screen on my TV?
