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?

How do I move photos that were taken when photo stream was turned off into the photo stream on my iPad2?

You will need to do that by syncing them with a computer and then syncing the computer with the iPad.

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.

My Photo Stream keeps turning off in my iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.

I have an HP Pavilion g6 and it runs on Windows 7. iCloud is already set up on it, as well as on my iPhone, but when I go to use the computer, I find the Photo Stream turned off (I am still logged into iCloud Control Panel.)

No, I am not trying to use them both at the same time with Photo Stream. I have not had iPhoto opened in long time and I'm not sure if I have ever opened iPhoto since iCloud went active. I only use iPhoto when I want to make a greeting or post card. I just opened iPhoto and clicked on Photo Stream (on the left) and it asks if I want to turn it on. I just noticed that there is a option to click that says "No Thanks". I never turned Photo Stream on in iPhoto, but never said no thanks either. After clicking the "No Thanks" button, Photo Stream disappears from the left. Maybe that will solve the problem. I will need to give it some time to see, because it does not happen right away.

Photo Stream keeps turning off in Aperture

I have Aperture 3.2 and have enabled Photo Stream, several times. It syncs all of my photos with my iPhone 4 and imports the new ones in a project. I close Aperture and reopen it several days later, go to the Photo Stream library and Photo Stream is asking if I want to turn Photo Stream on. All of the pictures are gone. I turn it back on and it spends the better part of a hour updating. I am using a newer MacBook Pro and sometime I power it completely down if it will be in the case for awhile. When this happens I have checked the iCloud settings in the System Preferences and Photo Stream is checked. Anyone else haveing this problem? I seen some people are having the same trouble with iPhoto.
Thanks,
Mike

My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on.

My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream on my iPhone. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on(iCloud).

Not sure if you are referring to photos in the Camera Roll from before you turned Photo Stream on, but just in case you aren't aware, only new photos will go. Following quote is from: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.

My green webcam light will not turn off, when I go into photo booth, it says my webcam isn't connected

My webcam light will not turn off. It's been on for days, even when I restart and shut down my computer. It also will not allow me to use the webcam, it says that it is not connected.

I have a similar problem. The caps lock light stays lit. If I accidentally hit it, I won't be able to type anything for a few seconds, like the keyboard is frozen.
Strangely it doesn't seem to cause me to type in all caps. The light's on, but it doesn't cap lock.
Also strange is that this started happening recently, after upgrading to 10.5.7.
Any answers welcome - thanks. I think these may be related issues.

Photo Stream not syncing on iPhone 6

I just recently got an iPhone 6 and my photo stream is not working. I have over 750 photos in my iPad photo stream that will not sync to my iPad. I feel like I've tried everything. I've restarted my iPhone, signed in and out of iCloud and turned photo stream off and on.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Blackk05,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Photo Stream may not be appearing on your iPhone 6. I know it can be worrying to not see your photos, and I can help you find the My Photo Stream album.
If you would like to access My Photo Stream on your iPhone 6, first make sure you have updated it to iOS 8.1:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Once you've updated, and made sure Photo Stream is turned ON, the My Photo Stream album should appear in the Photos app under Albums.

All the best,
Jeremy

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 updating in iPhoto

Photos that I take on my iPhone 4 are showing up in the Photo Stream on that device and on my iPad but not in iPhoto, at least not for a long time (hours or days). Quitting and restarting iPhoto doesn't help. Yes, Photo Stream is turned on in iPhoto preferences, with automatic uploading enabled. Any clue how to force it to show all my recent photos?

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

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.

Making mobiledevices not turning off the screen

Hi, is there anyway to force a mobile device to not turn off its screen when it doesn't recieve user input?
I've tried to google abit but I really lacked the english words for this I guess ;)
To make it a bit clearer. I've made a couple of midlets that don't take userinput all the time, and what happens is that after a few secs the device turns off the screen, so I have to sit there and press some random button all the time. A bit useless because this one midlet is just streaming graphics through bluetooth.
cheers,
Stian

i haven't tried it, but if i were to give an idea, I'd say setting a new "display" might be one thing that a phone might use to "wakup" the display. So maybe you can continually set a new display, using the current display.
so try something like this in your midlet:
/** partial midlet implementation below **/
private TimerTask refreshTask;
public void startApp() {
    // set up display
    // set something as your displayable, etc.
    // create a task that refreshes the display of the midlet
    refreshTask = new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            myDisplay.setCurrent(display.getCurrent());
    // set the task to run in 2 seconds, and run again every 2 seconds after that
    new Timer().schedule(refreshTask, 2000, 2000);
public void destroyApp(boolean b) {
    // cancel the task so it stops refreshing
    refreshTask.cancel();
/** end pseudo midlet **/so that's just my first idea of something to try, let me know it it works, and of course, tweak the 2000 (2 seconds) to whatever you need on that phone to keep the display awake.
