Photo stream not syncing to other devices

I have an iPhone, iPad and Macbook but can not get my photo streams to sync on all my devices. Example I have 5 different streams on my phone but they are not visible on my macbook and iPad

Hi Carolyn Samit & Kyled75,
I'm having almost a similar issue with my two iDevices. I have an iPad 3 and an iPhone 6 Plus and both of them have exactly the same settings for iCloud as well as "Photos & Camera". Photo Stream is enabled on both devices.
But when I go to "Photos -> Albums -> My Photo Stream" or simply in the main Photos Section, I cannot see all my previous photos and videos on my iPhone. However, on my iPad, I can see each and every photo and video perfectly without any hassle.
I really hope to get some help on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Abid

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.

    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.

  • 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.

  • Photo stream not syncing to devices?

    "My Photo Stream uploads and stores the last thirty days of my photos on iCloud and downloads them to all of my devices."
    I have this checked in the preference in iPhoto, and my photos are automatically being uploaded to iCloud, but it DOES NOT download them to my devices. My Photo Stream is ON on my devices. What am I missing? I have been troubleshooting for a few hours, following other posted suggestions, nothing is solving my problem.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

  • Why is photo stream not synching across multiple devices?

    I am using an iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Pro - all with Photo Stream enabled on the same account - yet the photos in my individual photo streams are no identical across all. There are a handful of photos that in the stream that I can find on all of my devices, but at the same time, each device also has a number (sometimes quite a few) that are only on that particular device, despite it appearing on that device's photo stream.  How can I sync them so that they all have the same photos? I thought that was the purpose of photo stream...

    Photostream is streaming, not syncing service. So every device that you have will have photos from the time that photostream was enabled on that device. As long as photostream folder exists in your iphoto, you can force pictures into it. Just move or copy those pictures in photostream folder in iphoto on your Macs. They will get moved into icloud and downloaded to other devices. Remember that photostream is not designed to hold your pictures forever, just 30 days or 1000 pictures. Once 30 days is over it still stays on your computers, but is not in the cloud anymore.

  • 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.

  • Notes on iPhone5 not syncing to other devices nor to iCloud in the "On My iPhone" account.  How to fix?

    I have not been able to sync my existing Notes on my iPhone4S to other devices, nor to my iCloud account.  On the iPhone4S, I see I now have two Notes accounts: "On My iPhone" and my Apple ID account.  All notes in the Apple ID account sync as they should.  None of the "On My iPhone" notes sync at all.  Seems to have started with the upgrade to iOS6 but not sure.
    I have all devices on current software as of 12-12-12, all settings for iCloud and Notes have sync'ing enabled.  I've sync'd with iTunes, backed up to my computer, disconnected, shut down, and cold-started the iPhone4S.  Any suggestions to get these notes sync'ing most welcome.

    Basically what your looking at in on the Accounts page of the Notes App is where you are saving the notes. On this iPhone, notes are saved on this iPhone and don't sync to other devices. You say you see an account for your Apple ID. I don't know what you mean cause I've not seen that. I do have an iCloud account that syncs to other devices and I created the account in Settings > iCloud > Notes and I was prompted to create the account. If that's what you mean by Apple ID account simple copy and paste the notes from the On this iPhone account to the iCloud account to sync across your devices
    Hope that helps

  • My Photo Stream not syncing older photos

    Hi, am using Aperture 3.4.3 on OS X 10.8.2 but had the same issue below when using iPhoto...
    Have Photo Stream enabled within settings but when I use Aperture, not all of my photos are being synchronised.
    Simply, my iPhone shows I have 231 photos in 'My Photo Stream' but through Aperture is shows just 129 - it is the older photos that aren't sync'd.
    I have 3 shared streams which are working fine, it's just the default one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Pete.

    The Photo Stream is not really a method to sync photos - it is a method to buffer the most recent photos for import, and it may look differently on all devices, depending on when the photo stream has been enabled on the device. On each device it will show the most recently added 1000 photos, and photos older than a month may not show at all.
    If you want the older photos to appear in the stream on all devices, add them again to to stream.

  • Photo Stream not syncing on my PC

    We just bought a new PC with Windows 8. Photos from my iPhone 5 are not syncing to my Photo Stream folder. I have changed the path..I have restarted my computer, etc. I'm pretty sure I've tried everything. I must be missing something.....

    Try turning off photo stream on your PC, then turn it back on without changing the default location.  Then take a new photo on one of your devices and see if it appears on your PC now.  (I've seen a number of posts indicating that changing the default location isn't working properly for them when using iCloud control panel version 3.)

  • IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

    I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

    Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space.  What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
    Settings >iCloud
    Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device.  You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Safari
    Notes
    Passbook
    Photo Stream
    Documents & Data
    Find My iPhone
    If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space. 
    Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized. 
    To put phone in recovery mode:  Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time.  Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button.  Plug your phone into iTunes.  Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

  • My Photo Stream not syncing properly

    When i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone, it deletes it from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop. Is this correct? The reason i ask is that my understanding of this is that it should all sync 'live'. But, if i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop, it remains in 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone.
    Confusing.
    I would prefer it if ''My Photo Stream' on my laptop was static so i have a backup of all photos taken. Is this possible?

    See this document:  iCloud: How to delete photos from Photo Stream
    The reason i ask is that my understanding of this is that it should all sync 'live'. But, if i delete photos from 'My Photo Stream' on my laptop, it remains in 'My Photo Stream' on my Iphone.
    Deleting the photos from Photo Stream will delete them from iCloud, if that photo is still in iCloud. The photos will only be in iCloud for a month.  So if you delete an older photo from Photo Stream, the change may not be applied to other devices, since they will see no change in iCloud.
    Also photos you already saved from the Photo Stream will not be deleted, if you delete a photo from Photo Stream.
    I would prefer it if ''My Photo Stream' on my laptop was static so i have a backup of all photos taken. Is this possible?
    Set the preferences on your Laptop to automatically download from the PhotoStream.  Are you using iPhoto on your Laptop? All photos saved from the Photo Stream to monthly events by automatic download will stay in your iPhoto library, when you delete photos from the Photo stream on your devices.

  • Photo Stream not syncing with iPad

    I am using:
    1. iPhone 5
    2. iPad 3rd Gen.
    3. Using iOS 6.1.4 for both the products

    Both my iOS devices are synced with the same Apple ID and PhotoStream is turned on in both of them. However, only the PhotoStream of iPhone is synced with my PC while the PhotoStream of iPad does not get synced either with the PC or with the iPhone.
    May I know what am I doing wrong? Need help. Thanks.
