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).

  • IBooks do not sync between iOS devices

    I have used iBooks since '10 and it has worked up until the latest release fairly well. My problem is iBooks no longer syncs the last or furthest page read as it once did. Kindle does this without a problem but the iBooks application does not function.
    Both iOS devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.
    Example: I download a book on iBookstore to my iPad. I read the book to page twenty, exit to the home screen, then put the iPad to sleep. Later, I open the same book on the iPhone, and the book is still on page one. The page does not change to page twenty. I open iBooks on the iPad, and the page changes to page one (to match the iPhone).
    I am continuously losing my place in the book. I contacted AppleCare and was told (paraphrasing) that there was nothing they could do since there is no sync button, everything is supposed to be done automatically.
    Please advise if you have any advice here. I will not be purchasing any iBooks until the issue is resolved.
    Thanks!

    I contacted AppleCare and was told the following...
    The only time iBooks will sync is when pressing the Library button to close the book and return to the iBooks library.
    Press the Home button
    Press the Home button and completely close the app (double-tap home button, swipe up on iBooks)
    I have tried everything and they are sending an escalation to their engineers for an update. Until then, no news and nothing left to report.
    I tested this same issue with Kindle and Google Books; Kindle syncs only the furthest page read, Google Books syncs the current page read (as iBooks is supposed to do), and it works reliably in both cases.
    I'm guessing this is a bug in the iBooks app as I did not have this issue with iBooks since iPad 1 in 2010.

  • TS3989 Photo Stream won't upload to iOS devices

    My Photo Stream has 999 photo's currently showing in iPhoto, but my iOS devices stop uploading at 195 photos.  Is there a way to refresh the uploading process without having to turn off/on Photo Stream in the settings?

    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.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
    I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

  • My photo stream-need to sync across all devices, that's the purpose right?

    We have iPhone 5Cs, an iPad, and a computer that runs windows 7.  We used to be able to use the My Photo Stream across devices just fine.  When I took a picture on my iPhone it would automatically sync to My Photo Stream on my computer.  When we took pictures on our iPad same thing, when my son takes pictures on his iPhone it would also sync seamlessly to My Photo Stream on our computer.  It is enabled, but when I click on the icon in My Favorites it says it's not enabled and to open iCloud, I do but then it is clearly clicked on to enable.  I have signed out of all iCloud accounts and signed back in to no avail.  I pay for extra storage on iCloud because the hope was I would be able to sync pictures across all devices, 2 iPhones, iPad, computer, and iCloud.  But this isn't happening.  I want to be able to take a picture with my phone and (when connected to Wi-Fi) be able to have that sync to my computer and the iCloud especially.  What is wrong?

    In fact when I uninstalled iCloud and reinstalled it, I thought it had fixed itself, because it did revert back to the default location and the My Photo Stream was showing up, oddly enough when I took a picture on the phone and went back into the My Photo Stream it would come up with the error message that "iCloud Photos is not enabled" which it clearly was before I took the picture.  It had My Photo Stream with no photos in it.  Am I missing a setting?

  • Photo Stream only working properly on iOS devices (especially delete function)?

    Hello,
    I was planning on making my life a bit easier using photostream. But as soon as I started using this and testing it's behavior I ran into a lot of issues which make it more complex instead of easier I believe (when deleting photos). So here are some questions/issues I ran into, I hope a solution exists so I can start using photostream (instead of always connecting my iPhone to iTunes in order to sync my photos. I'm currently using my Windows 7 PC (and I was unable to test it on my macbook pro, as is currently being repaired). I have photostream enabled in the iPhone settings an on my iCloud panel on Windows.
    1. When I want to remove a photo from the photo stream on my iPhone it is deleted (in the photostream tab) it's being deleted on the photostream (on my iphone and on my pc), but not on my camera-roll of my iPhone with which the photo was taken.
    2. When I remove the photo on my camera-roll it is not deleted from my photostream. So I would be guessing that at least in this case or the previous case (1.) the photo should be deleted everywhere (or at least I should have somwhere in the settings an option to enable this behaviour, but I can not find this back in the settings on the iphone?). Remember I'm trying to make my life easier, not having the double amount of work to have an image deleted I don't want.
    3. When I'm deleting a photo on the photostream on my pc, it is never deleted in the photostream on my iPhone (waited more then an hour to make sure the sync was done, with full battery and wifi enabled). Again trying to make it easier, so why should I deleted it once on my pc in the photostream and once on my iphone in the photostream (it's again the same image), and in the opposite way it is working though? Or could this be related to: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23925307 ?
    4. When I log in on the iCloud website, I can't find back my photos anywhere to see which ones are still really in the photostream.
    I hope some or maybe all of this issues can be fixed with adapting some settings or something, so I can start using the photostream  in a way it is useful and it's making any sense to me. As I said in the beginning I only have tested this on my iPhone/PC. When I have my macbook back, I will test it with it too, but honestly I'm a bit afraid to add another device to the stream, as things might behave even more weird.
    Thanks.

    Im having a similar problem. Photo Stream works on my Mac and iPhone, but not on my iPad 2. Strangely, if I take. Photo with my iPad, it shows up in the Photo Stream of the other two devices.
    I tried to reset network settings, but did not work. Even tried to reboot.
    Another strange observation is that the feature actually did work temporarily and I saw my photo stream, but it disappeared without me changing any settings. Perhaps that will be fixed in an update.

  • 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!

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not sync between iOS devices

    I use keyboard shortcuts a lot - mainly because im lazy but also because I have fat thumbs and tend to make lots of spelling mistakes. Prior to upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 I had the same problem reported elsewhere that my shortcuts kept disappearing but after the upgrade that no longer happens (touch wood). Now however I find that if I add a new shortcut to my iPhone 4s, it doesn't get synced to my iPad mini. Both devices are running iOS 8.1.2 and both have iCloud drive enabled and signed in to the same Apple account. I've tried doing a hard reboot on both devices, signing out and back into iCloud. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

    I contacted AppleCare and was told the following...
    The only time iBooks will sync is when pressing the Library button to close the book and return to the iBooks library.

  • Notes not syncing between iOS devices and MacBook Pro

    Notes created on my MacBook Pro and iPad Air are not showing up on my iPhone6 and notes created on my iPhone6 are not showing up on the MacBook and iPad unless I restart my iPhone. The iPad and MacBook are syncing fine just not the iPhone.... all three devices are signed into the same iCloud account and Notes are set to sync on all three devices.

    I tried that a few times but it didn't do anything...
    It seems to be working now... after I restarted and the notes showed up it still wouldn't show any new ones but they all of the sudden showed up and it's syncing now... So I guess the problem is fixed but I have no idea how!

  • Notes sync between iOS devices problem

    Whenver I create notes on my iphone, they sync to my ipad, but when I create them on my ipad, they do not sync to my iphone. My ipad is on ios 7 and my iphone is on ios 5. Is this the reason why?

    On the ipad go to settings and notes and make sure that default notes are the same as on your phone.

  • My photo stream won't sync with my devices to my lap top. iCloud is turned on on everything. Have the latest os

    The icloud on my Mac Book Pro won't sync photos from my devices (iPhone and iPad) using photostream. The devices sync to each other just not the lap top. Everything is turned on in settings..iCloud and photostream.

    You need to go in to iPhoto on your MacBook Pro and turn on photostream in the Settings/Preferences of iPhoto.

  • Music ratings sync between iOS devices

    Hi. Is anyone aware of any possibility to sync song ratings between iphone and ipad without using itunes? I use both the devices to listen to songs and don't sync them to my PC often.

    If I go to the My Account Settings (clicking on my name on the Home page of iCloud) the Apple ID indicates [email protected]
    That is not my Apple ID (at  least as far as I am concerned!)
    As I indicated, my iCloud email account in the iCloud web page only shows a few very old emails, none more recent than early August.
    The iCloud control panel on my PC is the most current as of today.
    Keep the ideas coming.
    So far, been there- done that on everything suggested   :-)

  • Photo stream not updating from camera

    I've been having a days worth of trouble with my iphone camera.  Pictures are in the camera roll but never move to the photo stream.  If I connect the phone to my mac, and import the pictures into iphoto and THEN into photo stream, the pictures show up.  This is not how stream is supposed to work.  Any thoughts?  I've turned the cloud settings on and off, the stream never fully syncs.

    Hi MacTeacher,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    These tips may help with troubleshooting your Photo Stream:

    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • 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.

  • I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

    I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.

    You would lose photo stream photos older than 30 days from your my photo stream folder.  Tto keep them save them to the camera roll first.  To do this in iOS 7, open your my photo stream alburm, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the lower left, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    The photo streams from others should reappear when you turn it back on.  Worst case, the owners of the shared photo streams would have to re-invite you.
