Download photo stream from Iphone to Mac

I have the new Iphone 4s have not been able to use Icloud to download my photos in photo stream to my Imac. I have Iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 so I assume I would need to upgrade my Iphoto on the Mac but is there any way I can import my 400 plus photos in my Iphones photo stream to my Mac. It will not work when I try to sync the two.

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

Photo stream does not sync mac OSX mavericks

I have macbook air running mavericks 10.9.2 and when I setup photostream it only synced back for about 2 months, want it to collect all prior photostream photos from my iphone/ipad. It has stayed just the 2 months data for a few days now so convinced it will never update. any way to force the update? May be a bug. Thoughts?
Also, it seems that the photostream may have been locking up my wifi connection. After disabling photostream it is working again but with some hangups, but not as percistant as it was before. Thoughts?

Trouble With Syncing Mac Photo Stream to iPhone
iMac & iPhone photos don't sync

HT4906 Updated to Mountain Lion but cant photo stream from iphone 5

Hi, can anyone help.
I have updated MacBook today to Mountain Lion - I was expecting to be able to steam my iphone 5 photos to laptop.
Do I have to purchase anything else to be able to do this? Thanks

Be sure both devices are signed in to the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled:
On your Mac:
On your iPhone:
Lastly go into iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane and set it up as shown:

Photo Stream putting iPhone to capacity

I am running 7.0.4 on my iPhone. I know there is an update, but haven't updated yet to most recent update yet.
I have Aperture 3.5.1. On Mavericks.
I have set Photo Stream on for all my devices (iPad, iPhone, Aperture). I also said auto upload from Aperture to iCloud/Photo Stream.
I run into a problem every now and then. I take LOTS of pictures at specific events of my kids. I have LARGE files for each picture as I have a high MP camera. So, end of May, I had Field Day... hundreds of pictures. I had end-of-year school picnics... hundreds of pictures... You see the pattern. My Photo Stream has hit 1000 pics...
My camera has a 16GB capacity and is no longer collecting email because it is so full. I like having all my pics show up on my devices (even the ones from my camera that I had to upload to Aperture.). However, I'd be fine if it only showed up on my iPad. But, I'd still want my iPhone to upload to Photo Stream (backup measure and reduces number of times I have to hardwire to my iMac). Assume there isn't a way for iPhone to opt to only upload but not download from Photo Stream (maybe even at selective times when I have a bloated 30 days of photos)?
Otherwise, is there a way for me to select some photos I don't care about being on Photo Stream and therefore not being delivered to all my devices? Will the devices auto update (remove those photos from photo stream on those devices) based on that or do I need to refresh somehow? Does that delete the picture from my library in Aperture or just from Photo Stream? Will it repopulate it anyways since it will be in the past 30 days? Another thing I couldn't find was an adjustment of how many days remain in Photo Stream (maybe I could reduce it to 15 days)?
If none of the above works, what happens if I turn Photo Stream off on my iPhone? Do I lose any pics? Will it automatically remove the Photo Stream pics?
SORRY... IT WON'T LET ME MOVE THIS TO IPHONE FORUM... IT SAYS I AM NOT AUTHORIZED...

When you enable the Photo Stream on your iPad and iPhone to be able to stream the photos to all devices, you cannot prevent the iPhone from downloading and showing all photos in the Photo Stream.
To keep this from filling the iPhone memory completely, be frugal with the amount of photos you are adding to the Photo Stream. If your iPad has plenty of space, download and save the photos from the Photo Stream to the iPad Camera Roll and on your Mac to an event (for example, by setting the Mac to auto import from the Photo Stream). Then delete the photos from the Photo Stream, either on your Mac or the iPad. This will remove them from iCloud and from the Photo Stream on all devices. Since you saved them to the Camera Roll on your iPad, you will still have them on the iPad, but not on the iPhone.

How do I get MacPro iPhoto events downloaded to my iPad mini? iCloud is set up. Uploading photo streams from mini to Mac works fine.

Set up the events as albums on your Mac Pro in iPhoto. Then use iTunes to sync your iPad.
Start iTunes on your Mac Pro. Connect your iPad and select it in the left sidebar. If you do not see a left sidebar use the View menu to View Sidebar.
Once you select your iPad look in the right window and find the Photos tab. Select the album or albums you want copied from iPhoto on your Mac Pro to your iPad. Then click on Apply.

HT201317 I am trying to turn Photo Stream on - on my Mac when I get to the space where you are supposed to click the icon and go to Photo Stream - Photo Stream is not highlighted and nothing happens when I click on it -- what do I do?

I am trying to turn Photo Stream on - on my Mac when I get to the space where you are supposed to click on the Photo Stream icon -- the icon is not highlighted and when I click on it nothing happens --- what should I do?

the space that I am referring is the "screen" that pops up after I go to Apple icon - select System Preferences - the iCloud screen pops up and you are supposed to be able to click on the Photo Stream icon to turn Photo Stream on. Well, the icon "Photo Stream" is not highlighted and has no check box so that I can select it to get to the screen that will let me turn Photo Stream on.

My iPad will not sync photo stream from iPhone

My iPad ios7 will not sync my photo stream. It only received 1/4 of my photos. My iPhone ios6 has the correct photo stream. Tried Turing off photo stream on iPad, afraid to turn off photo stream on iPhone as I may lose data. I know the photo stream limit is 1000 so I keep it at 900. iPad is fully updated. iPhone all apps are fully updated. Same Apple ID is signed in across 2 devices for iCloud. Both are backed up on same wifi. Loading iTunes just to back up photo stream seems silly but maybe forced to. Thank you.

Cannot get photo stream to work on MAC, it does work on iPhone and pad. All are turned on and settings correct

I have a new MAC desktop 10.9 OSX Since I purchased I have not get photo stream to work, it is correctly on i believe. I have the latest iphone, and an older i pad and they are streaming my pics, Help?

Hello, 9914.
Thank you for the question. If the Apple ID used for your iOS devices matches what is being used on the computer, try disabling Photo Stream and enabling it again. Next, try the steps in the article below.
I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream will not appear in iPhoto or Aperture. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection on your Mac.
From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that the Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import checkboxes are selected.

I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.

Photo Stream on iPhone not downloading all photos? (iOS 5.1)

I have my Photo Stream filled up at 1000 photos. My iPad sees them all. My Mac sees them all. Even my Apple TV sees them all.
But for some reason, my iPhone only shows about 35 photos in my Photo Stream. I've disabled and then enabled photo stream several times. Even rebooted. I did a fresh install of iOS 5.1, and still, its only showing my last 35 photos in Photo Stream.
Is there any way to force an iPhone to re-download all 1000 photos in the Stream?
Thanks!

I fixed this issue myself. Net: iPhoto is lying - the iPhone is telling the truth. All the photos iPhoto said were in my Photo Stream actually were not.
On my Mac, System Preferences -> iCloud, I unchecked Photo Stream, then signed out of iCloud. It asked me whether I wanted it to keep or delete my contacts and other things from the Mac - I told it to delete them.
iPhoto then showed me that the Photo Stream was empty, and asked if I wanted to turn it on. Instead, I logged back into iCloud on the System Preferences panel. Photo Stream was still unchecked, but I went back to iPhoto and now chose the option to turn on Photo Stream there. After a minute, I saw only the one photo I took yesterday (which was all I was seeing on my iPhone before). Nothing else was there. I dragged a bunch of photos from my iPhoto "Photos" library to the Photo Stream, and after a few minutes, they started showing up on my iPhone.
