Photo Stream gone and useless junk.

Less of a question and more of a statement that I shouldn't have to make.  I have been a loyal iPhone consumer since 2008, late to the party, but I started with the first model. Have had every model besides the 4s and 5c. Apple had two real things going for them, Itunes and the photo stream that backed up to Icloud. I had pictures from 2011 that downloaded to my phone after EVERY ios update. Now, you drop random junk albums (U2) into our cloud and take away the photo stream that we had grown so accustomed to using. It was great the way it was, this is utter BS. I shouldn't have to nearly give myself a heart attack, thinking that the pictures of my daughters birth and videos were eliminated. Yes, I have them on the computer and a flash drive as well, but I am saying a WARNING would have been a decent move. Why "fix" something that isn't broken.
Today, you lost me as a customer. I canceled my 6 plus and went with the LG G3. You choose not to listen to the customer base about personalization and customization and instead opt for what works well for you. Goodbye Apple.

You are not addressing Apple here at all.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

  • The photos in my photo stream removed and it says you don't have enough storage and your device why I am receiving this message and why my photos erased from photo stream

    The photos in my photo stream removed and it says you don't have enough storage and your device why I am receiving this message and why my photos erased from photo stream

    Try deleting the old backup.
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

  • I have photo stream on and took photos recently and cant find them on my computer. I tried restarting the computer but still nothing. How do I get them on photo stream?

    I have photo stream on and took photos recently and cant find them on my computer. I tried restarting the computer but still nothing. How do I get them on photo stream?

    Try the following on your MBP:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    Why can't I download them properly to my phone?
    Are they selected to sync in iTunes?

  • HT4858 with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    To my knowledge, pictures in photo stream stay there untill there is more than 1000 of them, then after that the oldest ones are removed from photo stream.  If your photos have synced to your devices via photo stream or manual syncing they will be there until you elect to delete them.

  • Photo Stream Sharing and Apple IDs?

    In order to share a Photo Stream so that it automatically keeps friends and family updated, the person invited to the stream must have an Apple product as well as an Apple ID related e-mail address.
    Most Apple IDs are the same as Apple e-mail addresses. However, do I need their actual Apple ID primary e-mail, or will Photo Sharing accept any Apple ID associated e-mail?
    According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 I should be able to associate multiple e-mail addresses with my Apple ID after I have verified a primary e-mail address, and then theoretically use any of them to invite that person to a photo stream.
    Anybody know if this is the case?
    Unfortunately, you cannot add one of your own aliases or alternate e-mail addresses to a shared stream, so I have no way to test this ...

    My Apple ID and iCloud account email are, for some reason, different -- somehow, iCloud still has a @me.com email address listed as my account email, whereas the rest of Apple services correctly shows the primary email for my Apple ID. 
    Perhaps this is why, but I can't receive any Photo Stream invitations sent to my Apple ID / primary email.  I only see the invites when they are sent to the old @me.com address listed under iCloud, or to the @icloud.com address that was automatically assigned when me.com transitioned to icloud.com.
    Can anyone suggest a way I can fix this situation?  Hopefully I should be able to change the email address associated with my icloud.com account to match my Apple ID primary email, but I can't figure out a way to do this.

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.

    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • Shared photo stream gone from iOS but still on laptop

    I own a shared photo stream that was created on my iPhone. Sometime in the past few hours it disappeared from my phone, iPad and the other iPhone under my Apple ID. However it still shows on my laptop and is up to date. How can I get it back on my iOS devices?

    If these photos are precious, it's worth considering purchasing a file recovery program. I accidently deleted a whole batch of emails and I bought online and used an application called FileSalvage (about £50) which recovers all types of files. You can select it to just look for image files and then just recover those.
    If so, limit your use of your Mac as of now, as you will be writing data to your hard disk all the time when saving and potentially write over picture data that's sitting on your hard disk.
    Although Mail's .emix file format is not a common file type, it did the job, so image files will be easy.

  • Photo Stream Events and Organization

    I have been organizing my iPhoto library and after getting my iPhone I am having some trouble understanding Photo Stream. I take pictures with my iPhone and I see them show up in events in iPhoto (such as Oct 2011 Photo Stream). Are these pictures only apart of my Photo Stream or are they copied to my computer? I only ask because I know that Photo Stream has a limit, and when I reach that limit will these photos get deleted? Thanks for any replies.

    These photos you are seeing in the events did come from photostream.  But, they were uploaded to your Mac so they will not be deleted.  The photostream folder, though, is temporary, and eventually those will be deleted.

  • HT4858 Why is the option of share via photo stream gone then?.

    On my iPad,150 photos selected. Less than the above limit. No video selected.

    Using the Photo app, go to the photo steam album (tap Photo stream at bottom of screen).Then tap the stream you want.  On the page with all the photos, tap Edit.  Then choose photos and tap Share at bottom of screen.

  • Photo Stream, iPhoto and events

    Photo stream is not creating new "events" when it downloads photos.  Instead, it has been putting new photos in an old event (same event every time). This started with the most recent iPhoto upgrade. Is there any way to fix this?

    That's how it works. Otherwise you could have a thousand new Events every month.
    You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways.
