Photo Stream Disappeared on Laptop

I just updated to Itunes 11.1 on my Dell laptop. Before the update I had a "PhotoStream" folder that contained all of the photos on my IPhone. After the update I now have a folder called "ICloud Photos" but there are only 23 photos in the folder. Does anyone know how I can locate the rest of the photos on my laptop?

I reset my iPad, why did my photo stream disappear?

We set my iPad up with my mother's apple I.d. Then reset it to link it to mine instead. Why did my photos taken with it, that were supposed to be on photo stream disappear? :-(

Let's see if I get this right... You had the ipad connected to icloud using some ID. Then you reset it and now have the device connected to your icloud ID, but the photos on the photo stream under your icloud account are not there. Right?
The answer may be a time factor.
While photos in a device's photo stream album remain, the photos in the photo stream server in icloud remain for up to 30 days. So it could be that while the photos are on some other device of yours, they may not be in icloud's stream database any longer. That's why you may not be seeing them when you just turned on photo stream on the device.
But your photos may also be on your computer. It is always recommended that photos be synced to a computer just as you sync photos from a camera to a computer for storage.

The photos I've added to my photo stream on my laptop are not showing on my iPad

I've added photos to my photo stream on my laptop but I can't see them on my iPad - I've waited 24 hours, anyone know why?
Thanx

Thanx for the reply, it's an acer aspire laptop...
Previously I have copy pasted photos from various places on my laptop into my photo stream - also on my laptop, then I go to my iPad and the photos are there...
Even the apple support guy said its strange, he's calling me back tomorrow....
Thinking about it There is 1 thing tho, in conversation he kept saying that I uploaded my pics to my photo stream, but I didn't actually upload anything, in the windows folders on my laptop I have my computer, my documents, my pictures, my photo stream, just like another windows folder...
Even tho it worked last time I pasted them there, am I meant to be doing something else???
Thanx!

IOS 8 : Camera Roll & Photo Stream disappeared

Since upgrading to IOS 8 on both iPhone & iPad, Camera Roll & Photo Stream have disappeared off both devices.
Checked in iTunes & not shown.
Is there any way of restoring or just lost with upgrade?

Just make sure you're in moments rather than in years. And it will only take you to the maps if you click on the location names (when you're in collections) so click on the photos instead. That's all I can tell you to do since they've went ahead and taken off "Camera Roll"..

Pictures in my Photo Stream disappeared?

I was checking my photo stream for some pictures I took a while ago. I had about 750 photos on my Photo Stream, which I know is under the "1000 photos before they start deleting from your device" rule. Suddenly, just yesterday (after recently upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 if that helps) I noticed that only about 100 still remained in my Photo Stream. My computer is too old to have iCloud, so if these pictures are gone from my phone and Apple ID forever, this is not a good thing for me. If anyone could help me to retrieve these photos, that I most certainly did not accidentaly delete, I would be really greatful.

I found a fix guys, had the same thing... photos gone from camera role but still showed they are occupying the memory.
if you download iFunbox (www.i-funbox.com) you will be able to acccess you iphone, ipod, ipad system and can just copy to computer the jpg files from the RAW FILE SYSTEM or CAMERA tab by selecting all the photos.

HT4906 PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY IPHOTO. THEREFORE IT DOES WORK. HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

I LOST "PHOTO STREAM" FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY "IPHOTO". THEREFORE THERE ARE NO PHOTOS STREAMING. HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

See the icon bar on the bottom: click on the leftmost icon to restore the left panel.

I downloaded iOS 8 and my photo stream disappeared. The weird thing is, when I went to post an Instagram picture, they were all there. So I can access them on Instagram but not from the photos app... Help?!

i have tried turning photo stream on and off and only a few come back

In iOS 8 the PhotoStream album is lumped into the recently added photos album. Delete a photo there and you will delete it from your PhotoStream.

HT201317 Cannot see photos in Photo Stream on laptop

I can see my photos from my iphone on my computer but cannot see them in the photo stream on my laptop. I have downloaded the icloud panel again and ticked the correct boxes etc. but cannot see them. Both computer and laptop run Windows 7. Does anybody know what is wrong?

Hi JinnaWinkas,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

Hi all. Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match. I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream. Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought). But it was not there. In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos. Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll. I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review. I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll. I edited the photo. I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll. So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning. The edited version of the photo was gone. Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp. Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED! This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups. So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011) and backed up my photos. I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos. I have it set to Download and Keep Originals. It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied. At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network. I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos. I am extremely confused. This is a mess. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

Fully updated iphone 5: Photographs haven't uploaded to my photo stream since the 6th of October! What can I do?

So since I did the last iCloud update 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop has changed to iCloud Photos with two subfolders one titled 'My Photo Stream' which is empty and the other titled 'Photo Stream' which had last updated on the 6th of september.
I opened my iCloud control panel today and was prompted to repair it though my programmes, after a computer restart the 'Photo Stream' folder has disappeared and I am left with only the empty 'My Photo Stream' folder.
iCloud photo location is stated as : C:/Users/Catherine/Pictures/Photo Stream.
On the 'My Photo Stream' album on my iPhone there are 366 photos.
Photo stream is on under my settings and I am usually connected to a wifi signal.
Why is it not updating and what can I do to fix it?

Cathy742,
I'm having the same issue after updating to iOS7. All of a sudden my photostream, except the most recent 100, on my iPhone disappeared. (My Camera Roll is fine.) The photostream stayed intact after I did the same update on my iPad. But only the new ones I've taken with my iPhone are showing up on the iPhone, as well as in the photostream on my iPad. Now I just did the most recent iOS7.3 update and once again the iPhone photos dropped to my most recent 100. Now even the pictures I take with the default camera app on my iPhone are not showing up in Photostream!!
And, yes, everything has been backed up, and yes, I also backup my photos to my computer using other software. And, yes, WiFi is on on both devices. And, yes, even when they are plugged in to a power outlet with wifi on, photostream does not have all the most recent photos (not even just from today) in it.
It's the issue in the PHOTOSTREAM with photos just dropping out that is a nuisance. And they won't "migrate over" from iPad to match all the photos in the iPad photostream. Only NEW photos turn up on the iPhone.
And just today, not even the new ones are all showing up in the photostream from my iPhone camera roll to the photostream on either the iPhone or the iPad.
I do not use iPhoto on my MACBookPro for uploads from photostream, because I use other software to store the pics.
It's happened now twice that photos have disappeared from photostream. Can anyone offer any wisdom?

TS3989 iPhone 4 Photo Stream All Photos not Showing Up In My Photo Steam Folder

I am trying to figure out why there are only about 20 photos from my iPhone photo stream in my photo stream on my laptop? they are the most recent photos that I took with my phone camera, but there are a lot of other photos I would like to send to my laptop folder. I have Windows7. Does anyone know how to move ALL the photos that are currently in my Photo Stream on my iPhone 4?

I tired signed out of the control panel and back in and that solved half of the issue. Now only photos taken SINCE October 11 are showing up. All previous photos are not in my iCloud photos. Now what?

Photo Stream keeps turning off in Aperture

I have Aperture 3.2 and have enabled Photo Stream, several times. It syncs all of my photos with my iPhone 4 and imports the new ones in a project. I close Aperture and reopen it several days later, go to the Photo Stream library and Photo Stream is asking if I want to turn Photo Stream on. All of the pictures are gone. I turn it back on and it spends the better part of a hour updating. I am using a newer MacBook Pro and sometime I power it completely down if it will be in the case for awhile. When this happens I have checked the iCloud settings in the System Preferences and Photo Stream is checked. Anyone else haveing this problem? I seen some people are having the same trouble with iPhoto.
Thanks,
Mike

No, I am not trying to use them both at the same time with Photo Stream. I have not had iPhoto opened in long time and I'm not sure if I have ever opened iPhoto since iCloud went active. I only use iPhoto when I want to make a greeting or post card. I just opened iPhoto and clicked on Photo Stream (on the left) and it asks if I want to turn it on. I just noticed that there is a option to click that says "No Thanks". I never turned Photo Stream on in iPhoto, but never said no thanks either. After clicking the "No Thanks" button, Photo Stream disappears from the left. Maybe that will solve the problem. I will need to give it some time to see, because it does not happen right away.

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream are gone

I upgraded to IOS8 and my camera roll and photo stream disappeared. I have 7500 pictures in my camera roll... I see some of them sorted into "collections"... this is not how I would ever sort or collect my photos.. work documents, mixed with family photos, mixed with selfies my son took with the dog? please please please tell me there is a way to get my old camera roll back. This update is a disaster for iPhone photo users... Is photo stream gone as well?

This has been asked and answered DOZENS of times on here since last week. Please search the forum and you will definitely find your answer.
