Photo Stream not uploading unless photos app is open

I am having issues with Photo Stream. According to Apple--
"On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections."
That is fine BUT I took 20+ pictures with my iPhone, came home and of course connected to my WiFi. None of the photos were uploaded. Several hours later I realized this and opened "photos" then they started uploading. So I hit the home button to exit photos and the upload stopped. Apparently the way this is now it is NOT HAPPENING AUTOMATICALLY I have to sit there with my photos app open and wait until it is finished.
Not Cool! Any Ideas?

I have the same problem. I cloud is turned on on my PC. Photostream is on. I have photos in my photostream on my iphone but nothing appears in my pc, ever

  • HT201317 My Photo Stream not uploading all photos automatically

    Hi All - I have a PC using Windows Vista.  Not all of my photos in My Photo Stream are uploading automatically as they are supposed to.  Only some of them will load.  It is very sporadic.  How can I get all photos to upload to My Photo Stream?  Thanks for any help!

    It sounds like you are using Photos, not iPhoto, since iCloud Photo Library isn't available in iPhoto.
    In Photos, My Photo Stream shows up in the Albums tab, see this help article: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtc0bf4b9bb

  • Photo Stream not uploading enhanced photos

    I don't know if any of you have experienced this but all the photos on Photo Stream that are downloaded onto my computer are those that have yet to be auto-enhanced. Those auto-enhanced photos look superb on the iPhone 4S but strangely only the unenhanced versions are synced to iCloud. Any ideas why? To add on, this is not just happening to Photo Stream, but all other apps such as Facebook cannot access the edited versions as well. Is this a bug or is it intentional?

  • Photo Stream only Uploading Some Photos

    Has anyone else noticed this?  If I take a picture on my iPhone 5, sometimes it shows in my camera roll and in Photo Stream.  Sometimes, it only shows in my camera roll.  Likewise, the Photo Stream library on my iPad 4 isn't picking up the new photos from my iPhone 5.  The problem seems a little intermittent.  Some photo upload fine, but I've had several that don't for some reason.
    Any ideas?

    Hi shorty47116,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with My Photo Stream not uploading your photos correctly or completely, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • 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.

  • Photo stream not putting all photos on iPhone 5

    I have a imac with all my photos stored . I have just purchased a iphone 5 and also using ipad2 which i have done ios 6 update.
    My photo stream shows 750 photos on imac for which that is showing them all on my ipad2 but my iphone has only downloaded 139.They say you only keep them for 30 days which must be wrong as i have them all on ipad. When i bought iphone5 i did icloud set up as i had iphone4s before.
    Any help please.

    While photos in a device's photo stream album remain, the photos in the photo stream server in icloud remain for up to 30 days.  So if you recently added photo stream to a device and the stream photos in icloud are over 30 days and thus have been automatically deleted, your device won't have any stream photos synced to it.  It sounds like that is the case with your iphone.

  • Photos in photo stream not uploading to PC

    The photos in the photo stream on my phone are not uploading to my Windows 7 PC. I have checked the iCloud settings to make sure I am using the same account, which I am.  I have checked the upload and download directories but can't find them there. I can see that the photos I take are being sent from the Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album on my phone, but they're not automatically uploading to my PC.  I have PhotoStream turned on everywhere it should be turned on.  I've even turned it off and reset it, only to have the same set of photos show up, but not the newest ones. I have plugged my phone into my computer to try to view & copy the photos from there, but I can't even see them there.  What is happening?  Thanks, Joni

  • Photo stream not uploading

    My photostream isnt uploading any new photos that i have imported on my macbook. I have it set to autoupdate and it says in the top right corner of photo stream that its uploading 756 photos but nothing ever happens and the little turning wheel next to the icon on the sidebar in iphoto doesnt turn or anything.
    anyone got any tips?? I have tried turning on manual upload back to auto upload. my ipad uploads to it fine but not my macbook anymore.
    Also my iphoto wont seem to upload to facebook either . if you select 90 photos to upload it will tell you its uploading but will only do about 7 of them and then just keep attempting to upload forever then freezes.

    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.
    If you have a mobile device that isn't seeing the new photos do the same on it, i.e. turn off Photo Stream and then turn it back on.

  • 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.

  • Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

    Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore.  I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures.  It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

    This issue is has been resolved.  The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

  • 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 all photos

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing some issues where Aperture Photo Stream is not syncing every photo to iCloud. I've successfully shared a number of projects but there are a few that just get stuck and only seem to sync some of the photos and the same ones each time. For example I've a project with 36 photos of which only 22 will sync which I've recreated a few times with exactly the same result each time.
    I'm fully up to date with OS and Aperture and I've rebuilt permissions and the library and have deleted and recreated the Photo Stream a few times. All the photos are referenced and I've rebuilt the image previews in the project(s) concerned.
    Looking in the Console log the only message I'm seeing which is indicating a problem are these which look related but give no further information or indication:
    Aperture: invalid share context
    Aperture: invalid context
    Any help appreciated.
    Matt

    WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.
