Photo stream no longer on icloud menu

I have Icould active, and I did have Photo Stream.  I upgraded to 5.1 and now it is no longer on the menu to turn off or on... Why?  How do I get it back?

After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

    How long do shared photo stream albums stay in iCloud?

    I actually found the FAQ for Shared Photo Streams and the answer is:
    Do shared streams ever expire?
    No. Shared streams are removed from iCloud only if you delete the photo stream.

  • Photo Stream no longer working on PC after iOS 8

    Photo Stream has always worked well for me, automatically uploading all photos taken with my iPhone to my Windows 7 PC.  However, since I updated to iOS 8, Photo Stream no longer uploads to the PC.  It works on all my iOS devices, but no longer uploads new photos to the PC.  I have re-installed iCloud for Windows, but this has not made a difference.  Am I overlooking something or is this a common problem iOS 8 users are having?
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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

    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.

  • Find pictures at Photo Stream, for longer than 30 days ago?

    Are there any possibilities to find pictures from my (lost) iPhone at Photo Stream, that are taken for longer than 30 days ago?

    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days.
    Do you have iCloud & Photo Stream set up on your computer?
    Otherwise, no.

  • Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

    I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8.  I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go.  It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately).  It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps.  The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps.  It also does not readily display photo informations.  The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto).  I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together.  My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam.  In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
    Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off.  As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users.  I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward.  Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other.  Can anyone verify?

    Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone.  Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

  • Shared photo streams no longer updating in iPhoto since Yosemite upgrade

    I just noticed that new photos are not being downloaded to the shared photo streams in iPhoto on my iMac.  I am getting all new photos in my iPhone and iPad... just not on the iMac.
    Anyone encountered this or have any solutions?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Streams.
    If the above doesn't work this method posted by user  Willis I Am might do the job for you:

    I do not know if anyone ever runs into this issue anymore, but the Apple Engineers helped me fix this recently.
    They had me do the following:
    Turn off Photo Stream in your user account: (second screenshot above)
    Quit iPhoto
    Goto System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Photo Stream.l (first screenshot above)
    Close System Preferences
    Then deleting the entire ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/ directory.
    Open Terminal and type in cd Library
    then type open . (open space period)
    navigate to Application Support and delete the iLifeAssetManagement folder.
    quit terminal
    Then turn photo stream back on in their photo library.
    open iPhoto and click on Photo stream in the left column.
    enable photo stream.
    It will take some time to download the cached photos but this resolved my problem of having 0 display and no photos in the "My Photo Stream" area when any of my other devices showed new photo stream photos without any problems.

  • HT204053 I don't see a photo stream choice in my iCloud on my iPad. How do I restore it

    I don't see a photo stream choice in my iCloud on my iPad. How do I restore it

    Insufficient information. A few questions that may help somebody here help you:
    Does your use of the term "restore" indicate it used to be there and now is missing, or have you not tried it before?
    What model iPad do you have?
    What version of iOS does it run?

  • Photo stream no longer shared- unable to share stream anymore.

    All of a sudden when I try to invite people to my photo stream it sends the link but when they click on it it says photo stream no longer shared.

    I have this same issue - iPhone 4S running IOS 7.0.4...  
    eg;  today I took 10 pix - only ONE went to the stream - annoying!

  • HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

    I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

    Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

  • HT4890 why doesn't a photo stream icon appear on iCloud although it's enabled

    why doesn't a photo stream icon appear on icloud.  It's been enabled in settings and iphoto?

    Because it isn't supposed to.
    Photostream is for sharing photos across your devices.

  • My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream.  I have iCloud

    My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream.  I have icloud.

    As for iCloud Settings, make sure, that in Settings > iCloud "Photo Stream" is turned on, on both the phone, and the iPad. If that is the case, make sure you are in the right photo-folder on the iPad (in your case). You might be in the "Saved Photos" folder, into which the new photos are NOT automatically downloaded. If that is the case, know the following: It make take a while though for photos to be uploaded to iCloud and then downloaded again by the other device, depending on the network. Give it some time, say 10-15 minutes (check your internet connection before that). If it still doesn't work, try an iCloud backup (Settings > iCloud > Backup to iCloud) on both your devices.

  • Windows 7 Photo Stream not syncing after iCloud 3.0

    HELP!  I am a relatively new to the IPhone community.  My husband bought me one for Christmas 2013.  I have the IPhone 5s .  Like many users, I want to be able to back up the pictures I take and or receive on my phone to my computer.  I have a Dell laptop running on Windows 7.  I downloaded iCloud 3.0 and have the checked off the box next to Photos.  I also have Photos turned on in the ICloud settings on my phone.  I experienced this problem back in April, where my photos were not syncing to my computer. I contacted Apple Support, and he ran several tests.  I took a couple of pictures, and they started syncing.  While I was not able to get all of my photos, I had the majority of them and I figured the problem was solved and would continue to sync from there on out.
    I just checked this past weekend and saw none of my recent photos were there.  I proceeded to google the subject, tried deleting the ICloud control panel and redownloaded it, and then forced a backup on my phone.  It only backed up 87 of the 517 photos I have in my Photo Stream.  I tried these trouble shooting options below but once again, only have 90 of the 517 photos I have:
    1. Open Task Manager (ctrl, alt and delete) and end ApplePhotoStream.exe and AppltPhotoStreamDownloader.exe if they’re running.
    2. Go to your Users folder and navigate to the following path: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MediaStream\
    3. Delete everything in that folder.
    These files are a local cache of what has already been synced but it appears to get stuck so deleting these files forces it to resync again from scratch.
    4. Open iCloud Control Panel and make sure “Photos” are checked.
    The above steps force re-downloading of images after any stuck point. It should make sure that your newer images are downloaded.
    My husband has an IPhone as well, and his photos sync no problem to his IPad.  I am assuming this works better since they are both Apple Products.  Can someone please help me resolve this issue as I would like to be able to get my photos on my computer so I can delete some of them off my phone?

    If the missing photos were added to photo stream more than 30 days ago they are no longer in iCloud (although they may still be on your your phone).  In that case, to get the older photos to stream to your computer you can add them to a shared stream on your phone (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  (Note: when creating the shared stream, you don't have to invite any subscribers.  As the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed to it; just skip that step.)  Another option is to save them to the camera roll on the phone and import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

  • Shared photo-stream, makes long file names with 42 random characters

    Windows icloud 3.1, in a shared photo-stream, makes file names with 42  random characters long. It didn't do this in iCloud  2. I have installed  iCloud 3.1 on a windows 8.0 and 8.1 machine and two Windows 7 machines.  They all do the same thing.  It used to give me file names like  "IMG_0001.jpg" now it gives me random file names like  "01a9fc3363330464233a142486180f0c1622eb9fca.jpg" all the pictures are  out order.
    Does anyone have fix for this? Does any one else have this  problem? I have posted this before and know one else that uses windows  seams to have this problem exect me. I did call Apple and they did some  research and bumped me up to senior  techs and eventuality Apple told me this is working the way it was  designed to. This is extremely stupid, I need the sequential file names  so the pictures will sort correctly.

    I have never found a solution for this.
    I did find a Work Around. What I do when I receive a folder full of pictures from another ios iPhone user, I copy all the photos as a batch from the PhotoStream folder into a free Windows program called "FastStone Photo Resizer" from www.FastStone.org. This program allows you to resize the photos as a batch to what ever size you wish. In my case I resize them to 2560 x 1440 which fills my 27" monitor and reduces the file size of each picture from 2MB or 3MB down to about 450 KB without degrading the picture as far as what you see on the screen.
    This program will also within the same batch operation, allow you to sort the pictures by "Date Taken" which is the Date and Time the picture was taken. It gets this information from the EXIF data in the jpg file. This program will then rename the files with different numbering format options including date, time, alphanumberic and with just simple numbers starting at what ever number you wish to start with. I can get files that look like this again "IMG_0001.jpg" and have all the pictures in the correct order that they were taken. At this point, I save the pictures directly to a folder on my PC. The cool thing about this is, all the EXIF data is preserved as well. I can process a 100 pictures in less that 60 seconds. I hope this helps. For me, I can now live with this iCloud numbering defect.

  • HT201317 How come my photo stream no longer updates photos automotically?

    My phone no longer updates photos which I take automotically and the settings have not changed. I've also deleted many photos in my photostream so there's definitely enough room. My phone and laptop are also connected to wifi and icloud is on.. Can't figure out why this isn't working..

    You might have to go to Settings>iCloud and turn photo stream off, then back on to get it working again.  To avoid losing any photos in the process, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  When you turn photo stream back on, you will only get photos added in the last 30 days.  Older photos are removed from your photo stream (even though they will remain on your device until deleted or you turn photo stream off).
    Also, photos are only added to photo stream when you are connected to wifi, the camera app is closed and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
