Photo stream dropped 900 pics on iPhone ...

My iphone just dropped a about 900 pics from Photo Stream. Curiously, they are still in photo stream on my ipad.
I can't figure out why they dropped from iphone...and would expect that icloud would sync the back or also delete them from the ipad.
Any ideas what I should check?
iPhone 5s, ipad retina mini latest updates to imac mavericks and ios7 all in place.
The pics that were dropped were the oldest and the new ones are accumulating again, so this will work out eventually, but it troubles me since I use photo stream quite a bit...
Thanks
Tom

See this support document about PhotoStream. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Photostream is temporary. My understanding is it can only handle the latest 1000 images and only for 30 days, but that document should explain. This allows you to import images to the computer for safe keeping. If you are handling more images than that, you need to make sure you are saving them regularly.

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

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.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

HT201317 i no longer have an iphone and would like to view my saved pics on icloud from when i did. photo stream has no pics on it and my icloud storage is full. How to i veiw them please

can anyone help

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If it's been more than 30 days their gone now. If it hasn't, you would have to set up iCloud on your PC as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, then sign into your account and enable photo stream.
Camera roll photos would be included in your iCloud backup, if you had one, but could only be access by restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch. Also, Apple deletes backups after 180 days of inactivity.

How do I add old photos from my MacbookPro into my photo stream to view on my iPhone

I'd like to add old photos saved onto my MacbookPro into my photo stream so that I can view them on my Iphone.
I have tried selecting 'share' when looking at the photo in iPhoto - and then selecting to share it to my photo stream but i can't see it in the stream on either of the devices.
Is there some sort of delay before uploading?
Please help. Thank you

That's what I was doing but they just don't seem to show up at all. Even when I drop and drag them from the iPhoto into the stream.
Is there a limit on how many photos can be in the stream at one time?
yes definitely. 1000. THe oldest are deleted. THis may be your problem.

Photo stream not working between my iphone 4 and my ipad 2. Was working great until I change my apple id.

Since I change my apple id, my iphone and my ipad dn't share the pothos through the photos stream, if i take a photo now with my iphone it'll go to my ipad, but no the old ones that are located in the same place, and if i take a photo with my ipad the pic stay only in my ipad.
Besides now when I try to backup to icloud the estimating time is more than 10 hr, and It can be because I don't have a lot of stuffs on my iphone.
Can somoene help me???

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

Photo stream not working iPad to iPhone

Pics that are saved in my photo stream on my iPad don't show up on my iPhone. It used to work fine, but recently my iPhone just turned off all iCloud settings by itself (another issue), now it won't transfer iPad to iPhone. Pics transfer from iPhone to iPad fine.

If photos taken on your iPad appear in the my photo stream album on your iPad, they are successfully being added to photo stream. If they don't, save the photo stream photos to your camera roll, then turn photo stream off and back on. (Note: photo stream photos are uploaded when you are connected to wifi with the camera app closed and have at least 20% battery life remaining.)
If they are being added to photo stream on your iPad, but do not appear in the my photo stream album on your phone, save the photo stream photos on your phone to your camera roll, then turn photo stream off and back on. Test photo stream again.

HT201317 how do I take old photos in my album on my ipad and have them go in my photo stream to see on my iphone. It's only streaming the new ones I take..

I want to take my older photos in my Ipad and have them streaming to my iphone and computer.. As of now it's only streaming the new ones I take.. Is there an easy way to put the other ones on my photo Icloud stream so I can view them from all of my devices?

That's by design; photo stream only uploads photos taken after turning on photo stream, not earlier photos. Adding earlier photos to photo stream can be done in a couple of different ways:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

Photo stream shows constant downloading on iPhone 6.

When going to photos on the iPhone 6, at the bottom of the screen it has been showing "downloading" since last Friday. It has not synced my photo stream from 2 weeks ago I took on my old iPhone. the MBP has them on it. The old iPhone shows them in photo stream also. And the iPad has them on it. The iPhone 6 had downloaded some of them, but there are blank spaces between some of the photos, when I click on a blank space it says "loading" but never does. Any ideas on what I am missing? thanks!

I do not have the possibility to turn my photo stream on, that is the problem. Check the picture i attached.

Photo stream is not updating all iPhone photos

I just set up my photo stream to be able to download all of my photo's taken with my iPhone into Aperture. For some reason it's only going back but so far. I only have 30ish of the 230 photo's on my iPhone. I stopped photo stream and restarted, but it didn't seam to do any good.
Also, if it only does it over Wi-Fi. Does the wifi on my phone stay on when it is locked?

WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

Shared photo stream / Config iPad 1 and iPhone 4

I invite my sister to a photo stream. She has a iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 and a iPhone 4 running iOS 6. With the first invite everything was well. She could see the stream on the iPhone. One week later I sent her a new stream. No notification on the iPhone. Since this time, I couldn't sent her invites. Is it possible that the iPad 1 block this? What could she do?

Found a solution.
Delete iCloud Account on iPad. Reinstall it. Then the shared Photostream runs on the iPhone. So simple.

Does photo stream use storage space on iPhone?

Mine came with 13.5 GB, am down to 6.2 available, also, if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right? I want to delete them because my photo stream is a replica of my camera roll, and if it is using storage space on phone,well that's just a waste of space.

if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right?
Yes. Both iPhoto and Image Capture include an option to delete photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete as with any other digital camera.
If you don't have another iOS device and you aren't interested in making use of the iPhoto option on your Mac to automatically import photos from your Photo Stream so you don't have to do this manually, you don't need Photo Stream enabled. Be sure to import from the Camera Roll often and/or back up your iPhone regularly without having Photo Stream enabled.

Why can't Aperture 3.4.3 open my photo stream I created on my iPhone 5?

I started a photo stream on my iPhone 5 with images I imported from Lightroom. My iPhone and my invitees can all view the photo stream I created from the photo library/photo stream entitled "Our Photos." It appears to work very well with all of the ios devices, but for some reason, I cannot view the "Our Photos" stream in Aperture 3.4.3.
"My Photo Stream" (from "Camera Roll") on my iPhone shows up ok in Aperture, but when it comes to "Our Photos" in Aperture Photo Stream window, it shows up that it is shared with 3 people and there are "0" images. There are actually 36 images that are in that stream that show up fine in all of our iOS devices.
I tried turning off "My Photo Stream" in Aperture preferences to see if there was a conflict between that stream and the "Our Photo Stream" but that did not work either.
I followed the Apple Support Document /KB/HT4486 - Troubleshooting Photo Stream with no results.
Can anyone please help, I'm stumped.
TIA

Here's somthing Apple suggested to me for some problems I was having that was related to the basic features of the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes and.....
1 - backup your iPhone to your computer
2 - restore the iPhone to factory settings.
3 - restore the backup.
OT
