Photo Stream Photos Disappearing

Photo Stream photos disappear when deleted from a camera roll. Is this a bug, a feature or something wrong with my system? This is happening across all my devices. Thanks for any input.

I am not an expert but this does not make much sense to me: You might want to clean up one of your device's camera roll without erasing the corresponding photos from your Photo Stream.
That is unfortunately, how it is on iOS 8. When you delete the photo from the Camera Roll on the device that took the photo, it will be removed from My Photo Stream as well.  I am seeing the same on my iPhone 5s.

  • Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

    Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

    Hey carolfromdaventry,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:

    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos. 
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My iCloud stopped pushing photos from my iPhone to my iPad.  The photo stream has disappeared.  There is enough storage as well

    The answer to that is because your phone and your Mac are signed into different accounts. Sign the phone in using the same credentials as the Mac.

  • HT201077 photo stream photos not on pc

    My photo stream photos do not show up on pc......sometimes I see them for a second and then they disappear......making me nuts....

    You need to ask that on the iCloud forum.

  • How can I retrieve old Photo Stream photos from a lost iPhoto Library?

    My laptop was stolen and with it an external drive that had my iPhoto library.  I had an old backup and when I opened the backup and turned on Photo Stream, I saw all my old photos appear again!  After a short while, it was removing old photos from the photostream and replacing them with newer ones.  I'm now missing months of Photo Stream photos that I really want back.  I tried creating a new library and enabling Photo Stream to try to capture those missing images, but I am not able to see anything older than Oct.  I could really use some help if somebody knows a way to get those memories back...
    Thanks

    I had an old backup
    What kind of backup? Do you have a Time Machine Backup of your complete system from the time before the laptop was stolen?
    To restore the Photo Stream images from that time you need to restore the folder
    your home folder /Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/Assets
    This folder contains the PhotoStream pictures that were part of the PhotoStream at that time.
    To restore this folder from TimeMachine, open a Finder window showing this folder, make it the active window, and then enter TimeMachine. Go back in time in the TimeTunnel, till you see the correct date. Don't restore to the library but to a folder on the Desktop.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone?  i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space.  but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.

    Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone?  i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space.  but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.
    For example.  When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone!  I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

  • Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
    my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
    this ?

    Is there a way I can stop
    this ?
    No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
    See this link:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

  • Photo Stream photos not showing up in Photos Collections

    I've noticed on my iPhone 5s, many photos from Photo Stream are not appearing in the "Photos" tab where I can view photos by year, collections, moments, etc.  I have many Photo Stream photos appearing, but it is sporadic. 
    On my iPad, all Photo Stream photos appear in the Photos tab just fine.
    I've attached a screen shot from each of my devices as an example.  Both devices are pulling from the same Photo Stream, so theoretically, they should be showing the same photos.  My iPad shows 10 photos.  My iPhone shows 2 (shows 3 in the screen grab because one is a video). 
    How can I force the Photos tab to update to reflect all the photos in my Photo Stream?

    I FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE.  But no resolution.
    It appears that my iPhone 5s's Photos tab only shows Photo Stream photos of photos RECEIVED from other devices, but not Photo Stream photos of photos that ORIGINATED on my iPhone.  Does this make sense?  Here's an example:
    1) Take Photo A on iPhone
    2) Take Photo B on iPad
    3) Allow Photo A and Photo B to upload to Photo Stream
    4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
    5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
    6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo A from the iPhone.
    7) Photo A is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPhone, but is still viewable in iPhone Photo Stream
    THUS =  Photos tab is not accessing Photo Stream
    I can replicate this on my iPad
    4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
    5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
    6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo B from the iPad.
    7) Photo B is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPad, but is still viewable in iPad Photo Stream
    This appears to be some way to prevent duplications on your local device.  Apple doesn't want you to see the Photo Stream copy and the Camera Roll copy BOTH in the Photos tab.  However, if you delete the Camera Roll copy, the Photo Stream copy DOES NOT appear in the Photos tab.  This is dumb because I delete the Camera Roll copy as soon as it finishes uploading to Photo Stream.  There is no reason to keep both copies on your iOS device.  However, now I can't enjoy the Photo Stream photos in the Photos tab.

  • IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

    iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
    When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
    But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

    When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.

  • HT201317 How do I save my photo stream photos to my PC? What do I enable in my control panel?

    How do I save my photo stream photos to my PC? What do I enable in my control panel?

    You can just import them using your usb cable without buying anything, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  The iPhoto iOS app is for editing your photos, it won't import them to your PC.

  • HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled.  However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
    If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them.  If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
    If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data.

  • HT201317 How can I delete photo stream photos on specific device while keeping it on others??

    I am trying to clean up my iphoto because my computer is a snail due to too many photos & I've transferred my photo stream photos onto a thumb drive but now want to delete them from iphoto BUT I DON'T want them to be deleted from my iphone & ipad??  Is it possible to specify that? What are my options??
    THANK YOU!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
    It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.

  • I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
    Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
    Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.
