Photo Stream photo syncing on iPad?

I just bought a new iPad, and the Photos app only shows a fraction of my Photo Stream photos. (My Mac's iPhoto app and my iPhone both show more than 700; the iPad shows just a couple dozen of the most recent.) Any idea what's going on? I'd appreciate your help! Thanks.

Hi astapple,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To start with troubleshooting this issue where your Photo Stream is not appearing on your iPad, please follow the steps below.
I don't see photos from My Photo Stream on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
Make sure that Wi-Fi is on and your device is connected to a wireless network. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Make sure that My Photo Stream is on. If it’s already on, turn it off and tap Delete. After it turns off, turn My Photo Stream on again.
Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to the Recently Added album (or the My Photo Stream album in iOS 7) until you close the Camera app.
See if your iOS device is below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, downloads and uploads from My Photo Stream are disabled when the battery reaches 20%. Downloads and uploads will continue after you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

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
4. iCloud on Windows Vista
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.

Photo stream not syncing from Ipad to IPhone.

I recently received a new IPhone as a warranty exchange and now photo stream is not working. I have checked the Icloud settings and they are correct. It's working on my IPad but nothing is coming over to photo stream on my phone. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. I made sure that setting was selected however the photos will still not carry over to my phones photo stream.

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

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.

Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream. How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

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.

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 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,

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.

Not all photos on photostream sync to iPad

IPhoto says I have 197 photos in my photo stream. I recently had to delete my iCloud account on my iPad 2 because the notes were not syncing. When I added my iCloud account back only a few photos from the photostream synced back up. What can I do to have all photos on photostream sync back to my iPad?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos from the last 30 days. Your backup would include your camera roll photos but they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your device.

Photo stream from iphone to ipad

My phone got stolen now im trying to see my photos on my ipad, they both have the same user name. But u cant see them, on my ipad photo stream it show only 37 pics but i do have over 1000.. Any help ??

You're welcome. Restoring your backup to his phone will replace the data and settings on his phone with the ones on your old phone, so he would need to start by backup up his phone, then restore your backup, then import the recovered photos to your computer, then finish be restoring his backup back to his phone. His phone would also have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your phone in order to use restore the backup. If it isn't, he would need to update it first. The specific steps are:
Upadate his phone the the same or higher iOS as your phone was running (if necessary)
Save any photo stream photos that are not in his camera roll to his camera roll so they are not lost. To do this, open his my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Create a current backup of his phone, either using iTunes or iCloud (iTunes is faster to restore to later). To back up using iTunes, connect the phone to his computer, open iTunes, click on the name of his phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of his iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Erase his phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then your should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were yours and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and his charger as it is restoring the backup.
When finished, import the recovered photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Erase his phone again by going to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then he should go through the setup screens on his phone as if it were his and when given the option, choose either Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from iTunes Backup depending on whether it was backed up using iCoud or iTunes in step 3. After restoring his backup his phone should be back to the way it was originally.

How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

After accidentally deleting photo stream photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV. How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to my iPad? Suggestions welcomed

If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Photo Stream Image Size to iPad

Is there a way to set the image size dementions that are uploaded via Photo Stream to iPad?

The image size is determined automatic. See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

Why aren't my photo stream pictures syncing to iPhoto once I moved it onto an External Hard Drive?

I recently moved my iPhoto library to an EHD, and everything has been working great.
I just went in, however, and my August 2014 photo stream, which syncs from my iPhone, only has one picture from each day/set of photos I have taken.
It is extremely odd - only the first photo from a vacation I went on, the event I went to last night, the meal I photographed on Tuesday are showing up.
If anyone can please help, I'd appreciate it!
