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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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 transferring with iCloud

    I have a new iPad and a iPhone. The first try I got pictures to go from one to the other. Now none of it works. I have iCloud on, photo stream on, wifi on. Can not get pics from iPhone to iPad and visa versa. Very frustrating.

    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

  • Why did Photo stream not sync in iCloud

    Why didn't photo stream sync with iCloud on? I turned it on for both devices.

    Photo stream only adds photos taken on your device after turning it on.  Earlier photos aren't added.  New photos are added when the camera is closed, the device is connected to wifi and it has at least 20% battery life remaining.  Both devices also have to be sharing the same iCloud account to receive photos from your photo stream.  (If they aren't sharing the same iCloud account you would have to create a shared photo stream album and share this with your other device.  This article discusses how to do this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.)
    Try taking a new photo on one of your devices, close the camera app, then be sure you are connected to wifi.  Then see if it streams to your other device (assuming it is signed into the same iCloud account).

  • New photo app not downloading from iCloud

    For some reason mid way through the month my photos in my photo stream stopped syncing to my Mac Book Pro since i installed the new photo app.  Anyone else have this problem?  Thanks!

    Lots of issues about this one!  I have uploaded 227 a whole week.  Partly due to local broadband speeds and I suspect  pressure on servers in USA.  It sees the whole world is uploading at once - perhaps because Apple launched photos!
    The advice I got from Apple was just to wait a couple of weeks for things to settle down.
    Keep turning off the upload each day if it affects broadband speeds.
    To address your specific question I thought mine had also stuck as nothing appeared to happen for days - then a few were uploaded.

  • HT4623 photo stream not uploading to windows computer

    iO6, photo stream not uploading (via iCloud) from my iPhone 5 to Windows computer.  All setting seem to be set to on.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Pictures in iPhoto were not downloaded to iCloud Photo Library

    I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library.  I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.

    I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library.
    iPhoto on your Mac does not (yet) work with iCloud Photo Library Beta. Right now, iCloud Photo lIbrary is limited to your mobile devices using iOS 8, see this link:   iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.
    These limits are applying to the Photo Stream, not iCloud Photo Library.  (iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ)
    Early next year iCloud Photo library should be available on your Mac as well, when the new Photos.app for Macs will be released.

  • 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.

  • Photo stream not updating in Photos on iMac

    My photos stream is working on iPhone and iPad but not on the iMac - it accesses photos from about 10 days ago, that's from before Photos was installed but it won't automatically pick up new photos taken on iPhone or iPad since Photos replaced iPhoto.
    If I mail the new photos to myself I can import them into my photo library but they aren't appearing in the photo stream.
    I have iCloud photo sharing turned off because I have w-a-a-ay too many photos in my library to store that way. Shouldn't Photo Stream work independently of iCloud photo sharing?

    I was able to force a download of my photostream by disabling Automatic Import and Automatic Upload in Preferences>Photostream.

  • Photo Stream not synching up

    Have finally updated everything to iCloud and now the photos that are in the Photo Stream on my iPhone are not showing up in the Photo Stream in iPhoto and vice versa.  I have Photo Stream enabled in both places. New photos taken with the iPhone show up in its Photo Stream and photos downloaded into iPhoto from a camera show up into the iPhoto Photo Stream.  I want my iPhone Photo Stream to show up in iPhoto.  How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    I want my iPhone Photo Stream to show up in iPhoto. 
    Is this in iPhoto on your Mac?  If it is disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane on your Mac
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot the Mac and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
