Photo Stream keeps all photos - why??
Frankly I'm getting jacked off with the dicking around I have to do, to maintain my mac and other apple products.
All the photos in my photo stream never get deleted automatically. They are supposed to last 30 days - as of today, April 2nd 2013, I have images back to August 2012. Why? Surely they are supposed to be deleted after 30 days?
This is causing me problems with my iPad for space - I have no images on the iPad but aparently 1Gb is being used. I switched off photo stream but it seems to hold a memory of these images.
With respect - read your comments.

If you switch off photostream then the images must be on the device. Hence my comment.

When I connected my iPhone and iPad via iCloud not all photos in my photo stream copied over. Why not and how do I fix it?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Only the last 30 days of photos are kept in photo stream in the cloud for syncing. Devices that have been syncing with photo stream for some time may retain older photographs that newer devices do not receive from photo stream. -
We had to replace my husbands iphone. Everything but our photos have transferred to the new phone. I made sure that the new device is showing up in find my iphone. I have turned on photo stream on all devices. Why aren't they streaming to new phone?
Only photos taken in the last 30 days are transferred using Photo Stream.

I tried disabling the iCloud on my iPhone and ipad2 and re-enabling in hopes elimnating the extra empty folder on my iphone. Despite disabling the iCloud on my iPhone, the empty Photo Stream folder remained on my iPhone and the other Photo Stream folder with my pictures was removed. I think because of this empty folder, my iPad isn't being prayed with my photos. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone. -
Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software. iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5 All of my preferences are checked. I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac. The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone) - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title. Is this supposed to happen on the Mac? Thanks!
So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
Yes
Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
Yes
Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5. For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

Ipad 2 now puts my pics under photo stream in one folder s when I open it up I have to tap the folder to open all my pics. It use to not do that?
Hello Patrick1000,
This is expected behavior when you have "Shared Photo Streams" turned on. With Shared Photo Streams, you are able to create separate Photo Streams to share with others (notice the "+" at top left corner). If you wish to disabled this feature, please see below:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn off My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
Thanks,

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,
MikeNo, 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.

Every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?
every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?
I have exactly the same problem with iPhoto. On my iPad I just enabled Photo Stream once and it automatically is enabled each time I turn it on again. But on my MacBook Pro and my older tower Mac (both running Lion) I have to enable Photo Stream every time I reboot the computer. Frustrating.

Photo stream keeps on desactivating itself in iPhoto
Hi,
I use iPhoto as a Photo software and am having the following issue : pretty much every time I launch iPhoto, it seems that Photo stream has desactivated itself. I turn it back on and wait for the Photo stream tab to refresh the data. Next time I'll open iPhoto, Photo stream will be desactivated...
Any one having this issue ? I've read tons of topics regarding this issue, and Apple hasn't come with a fix yet.
ThanksUpgrade iPhoto to iPhoto '22 version 9.2.2 or later

What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later

PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:

Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
On a Mac, you can also choose where you want your photo stream to appear (in either iPhoto 9.3.2 or later or Aperture 3.3.2 or later), and your upload and import preferences. To use Shared Photo Streams, you need iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later.
And note that PhotoStream is under Web - not recent

I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account. Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos. Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads. I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using. It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken?
You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos. -
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.

TS3989 Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV
Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud. -
This is very confusing. Can someone explain the difference between these 3 options in Photos app.
