Photo stream not downloading / syncing to PCs consistently

I am having trouble downloading / syncing photos to my PC via Photo Stream.  This used to work great, but now it appears that new photos are not either downloading at all or haphazardly to my two PCs (one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 8).
I have 2 iPhones using the same iCloud account.  If I take a picture with either of those phones, the picture shows up on the other phone in the photo stream as expected.  However it is not downloading to my PCs consistently any more.  I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including turning photo streaming on and off from the iCloud control panel and also completely uninstalling and reinstalling iCloud from the PCs.  Still have the same results.  Older pictures are downloaded, but newer ones are not being reflected.
This is getting very frustrating.  Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thank you.

I am having the same problem. It seemed to be working fine until I upgraded to ios8.1 using my new Iphone6 now only some of the photos on my photostream are uploading to my PC.
Help!

  • Photo Stream not in sync between iOS devices...

    This may not actually be a technical issue - it may be the way that it's designed. But if it is, then it seems pretty flawed.
    I own an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Macbook Pro. Photo Stream pictures are not in sync - ie: I deleted several from my Apple TV earlier but they appear on all other devices and don't seem to be updating.
    Is this the way it should be?
    Any help welcomed.
    Thanks

    Thank you for that, it's strange you can't do the same thing from the supplied remote.
    However, the previous response still applies, deleting photos from photostream on a device only deletes them on that device. (If you do it on the phone for example, it tells you that).

  • HT201317 Photos in My Photo Stream not downloading to PC anymore.

    Photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS devices are no longer downloading into the designated folder on my PC.  I tried turning off photostream in the control panel on my PC and tried changing the designated download folder, but it still isn't working,  Any thoughts????

    Don't know if it will help or not, but you might try going to Control Panel>Programs & Features>Uninstall, then right-click on "iCloud" and choose Repair, restart your PC and try photo stream again.
    Also confirm that the photos are appearing in the my photo stream album on your phone (which will confirm that they are being added to photo stream).

  • Photo stream not downloading through icloud

    I have set up Icloud on my PC and cannot seem to get photos to download. I have watched numerous UTube tutorials and gone through the help sections. but is not working. Even the Apple help suggests that you can reset your photo stream, through the icloud log i, but I dont get the Advanced menu option they talk about...

    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at Cloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

  • Photo stream not syncing

    so i have a iphone 4s a ipad2, apple tv and i have recently downloaded icloud for pc. My problem is that my photos are not syncing to each device. they all have different images under photostream although they are logged in under the same icloud account. The main pictures are taken from my iphone so what i have done is copied the images from the camera roll on my iphone and copied them into the photostream folder in the icloud software on my pc. when i then turn the photostream software back on on my ipad it only brings back a few clipart images that were saved locally on the ipad months ago from a colouring app.
    on the applt tv it is the same thing it will only bring in a few images but these are not the same as what opens on the ipad they are from my phone but only a few. also since i copied the pics from the camera roll on my phone the photostream on my phone has reduced in size also but nothing like the ipad or apple tv
    any help would be appreciated

    Here's a little more detail on what happens.  When you take a photo on your phone it's saved to the camera roll.  When the photo app is closed, you are connected to wifi and your phone has at least 20% battery life remaining, it will then upload to photo stream in iCloud.  Once there, iCloud will stream a "device optimized" copy of the photo to your iOS devices and Apple TV, and a full resolution copy to your computer.  Once on your devces, a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted.  However, they only stay in iCloud for 30 days (even though they remain on any device that has already received them).  Because of this, when you connect a new device to your photo stream, it downloads all the photo stream photos still in iCloud; which are only the phtoos from the last 30 days.  This creates a situation where you may have old photo stream photos on your phone than the ones you have on other devices, which were connect to your photo stream at a later date.
    To get these older photos to appear on your other iOS devices, you can add them to a shared photo stream and invite yourself.  To get them to your PC, save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad?  Some pics do but not all

    Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad?  Some pics do, some don't.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • HT201317 Photo stream won't sync all photos that I add to it

    I recently downloaded iPhoto to my Mac so that I could easily get all of my pictures from my photo stream onto my computer.
    In the default stream I have 558 photos. iPhoto will only sync about 400 of them. So I decided to create a shared photo stream and added all of the images from the main one into that one. However it will not add them to the stream at all.
    It initially added them all, but as it syncs the number of photos in that stream keeps going down. It is down to about 200 at the time of writing this and it is still steadily deleting the photos.
    Why will my photo stream not sync properly?

    That's she way it works. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    Relevant section:
    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.1 to 2.1.3). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

  • HT201317 Photo stream not sending photos to pc

    I am having issues with photo stream not operating. Apple support helped me correct this once, but it has happened again. I use PCtools internet security. Does anyone have ths issue or a solution? Photos are in my photo stream in the iphone, but do not get pushed to my pc.

    I have the same problem. Iphone and Ipad both can sync photos between them.
    But not icloud 2.0 application on my windows 7 pc.
    Whenever I open icloud app, it have photo stream option unchecked.
    I check it back, nothing happens. It is unchecked again upon next start or application opening.
    I already tried rebooting pc and logout/login from icloud application.
    Clicking Parameters in photo stream does not open anything.

  • Photo stream not turning off

    Hello,
    We are are updating iPads to iOS 7 in our fifth grade. We have turned off photo stream and shared photo stream with a profile in Apple Configurator that gets applied to every ipad. We also are using Casper as our mdm and have turned it off on the Casper side also, yet when we go to turn on iCloud we have noticed that all of the photos in photo stream start downloading and saving to the device. Is this a bug in iOS 7?
    We turn on iCloud to have find my ipad enabled. And the options for turning off photo stream are gone from the pictures & camera part of the settings which I'm guessing A/C took those off.
    In the meantime we are telling kids to delete the pictures from their devices but we would like to figure this problem out going forward.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    reading up on photostream, looks like re-enabling was a mistake, as photos taken after enabling photostream are uploaded, while older photos are not. I therefore cannot test a fix. I read that restarting photo or camera app mayfix the issue?

  • HT204022 Delete photos from My Photo Stream not iPhoto

    Ok, so I'm a little confused and need some clarification. I have Photo Stream set up on my MacBook Pro within iPhoto and selected the automatic import option within the preferences. Now my question is .... if I open up iPhoto and delete all the photos in My Photo Stream will it delete the pictures from the Photo Stream Tab within the Events Section? Are the photos being automatically copied into iPhoto, automatically creating a new Tab and I'll be able to delete all photo stream pictures without losing anything? I hope that made sense

    All photos you are seeing in monthly events called "Apr 2010 Photo Stream" have been added to your iPhoto library and are are safe.  But photos you are seeing only in the "iCloud" section are in Photo Stream (for a month), and any photo you delete there, will be removed from the Photo Stream on all synced devices. Copies that you imported to events will stay, when you delete the copy in "My Photo Stream".
    These events have been created by automatic import:
    And this is showing what can be downloaded from iCloud (for a month)

  • Photos did not download and I deleted them from memory card. how to recover?

    Photos did not download to computer.  I deleted them from memory card.  Is there a way to retrieve them from memory card.

    If all you did was delete them it should be relatively easy to recover them BUT don't use the card until you've done it. Even after a format it's fairly easy but not after re use because you write over them. For more help read the replies here.
    http://forums.usa.canon.com/t5/PowerShot/How-do-I-recover-photos-deleted-from-the-memory-card/m-p/84...
    You will need a card reader because I don't think it can be done in camera using the usb cable.

    photo stream not working
    everything slow
    any ideas?

    On your Mac 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 do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?
