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.

  • HT4910 What do I do if "My Photo Stream" isn't showing all my photos that are showing in my "My Photo Stream" on my Mac? How do I fix this?

    What do I do if the 900 something photos that are in My Photo Stream are not showing up on my IPhone in the My Photo Stream.  The photo stream option is on as well yet its not transferring all my photos.. as well as I am connected to Wifi

    If you just turned photo stream on, it's likely that the missing 649 photos are older than 30 days and thus are no longer in icloud to stream to your device.
    Did you turn photo stream off and back on, or sign out of your iCloud account, then sign back in?

  • I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original).  Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc.  However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded.  Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

    Hello there, Tamghosh.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Particularly:
    I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • HT201317 photo stream is not showing on icloud

    phot stream is not showing on icloud.com on my pc

    Basically Apple actually took away the Gallery capability we used to have with me.com when they replaced it with Photo Stream. So there is no way to see on the web, nor send a URL to friends to share the pictures like you used to be able to do with Gallery. To do that, you will need to push those photos to an external service such as Snapfish or Flickr or a social media site.

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • Shared photo stream is not showing up in settings for iPhone 5 or ipad

    Hi there
    I am trying to set up a shared photo stream however the option is not coming up on either my iPhone 5 or my iPad (3).
    I have tried adjusting the settings (Settings/Photos&Camera/Shared Photo Stream), switching it on & off as well as switching on iCloud again to see if new T&Cs pop up as suggested in other posts - no joy!
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    On your device using iOS 6, try quitting and re-opening the Photos app:
    Quit Photos.
    From your Home screen, click your Home button twice. Your open applications should appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
    Scroll to find the Photos icon. Press the icon until the icons jiggle.
    Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Photos icon. The icon should disappear from the list.
    Tap the Home button again to return to normal operations.
    Also check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.

  • Shared Photo Stream pics not showing in iPhoto

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS6 and my wife has a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and the latest version of iPhoto. 
    I created a shared photo stream on my iPhone and sent her the invitation to subscribe.  I also added about 6 photos to the photo stream.  On her mac, she accepts the invitation to the shared photo stream.  Now when she opens iPhoto she sees the photo stream itself but there are 0 pictures in it and even when I add more pictures she never sees them.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

  • TS3989 photo stream is not showing up on icloud!

    I have all my device photo stream turned on but I don't get anything. On icloud on my computer photo stream there is no apps for it I have the one for mail ect.

    If you are using a Mac, you need iPhoto 09 or better in order to see your photo stream photos. If you are using a PC, iCloud control panel will allow you to enable photo stream and choose which folder your photos are saved to. Photo stream is not available at icloud.com.

  • Photo stream is not updating all iPhone photos

    I just set up my photo stream to be able to download all of my photo's taken with my iPhone into Aperture. For some reason it's only going back but so far. I only have 30ish of the 230 photo's on my iPhone. I stopped photo stream and restarted, but it didn't seam to do any good.
    Also, if it only does it over Wi-Fi. Does the wifi on my phone stay on when it is locked?

    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.

  • Why does my photo uploaded from my PC into the upload Photo Stream folder not show up on my iPhone or iPad?

    I just set up iCloud for my new iPhone 4S and iPad2. I have a PC running Windows 7. I have downloaded the iCloud for Windows 7 software. In experimenting with iCloud, I see the pictures that I took on my iPad and iPhone have been streamed to my PC, no problems there; however, I have been trying to upload only one picture (.jpg format) from my PC to iCloud and it does not show up on my iPhone or my iPad. I moved the picture into the upload folder in Photo Stream manually from my PC. I have read and reread the directions several times and I cannot see that I am missing any steps, but the picture does not show up. Has anyone else had this problem and been successful in overcoming it?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Photo Stream is not showing up, what should i do? Is it available in countries outside USA?

    Photo Stream in my iphoto'11 9.1(475) is not showing up. Not even when I have turned on Photo Stream in my icloud account. what should i do??? it has shown up in Aperture and is syncronised but i want my photo stream in iphoto. Please suggest.

    Well the fact that it works with Aperture tells you that Photostream does work outside the USA. You need to update your iPhoto to 9.2.1

  • My photo stream pics not showing in my PC

    Unable to transfer my iphone or ipad pics to my PC photo stream????. is blank?

    Your photos are still on your phone.  With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more.  The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
    The CR is replaced by the Collections mode.  The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.
    The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.
    The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18).  In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.
    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

  • ICloud photo stream does not show all photos

    I have 1000 photos is my photo stream, however on my Apple TV I just setup, I can only get 322 to show up in the iCloud Photo Stream. I've tried restoring and setting it up again, but I have the exact same numbers of photos.
    Is there a reason I can only see 322 out of 1000 photos in my photo stream on the Apple TV?

    I noticed the Apple TV was not displaying my photo stream after the update to 6.0. Here is what I did to get it to start displaying my photo stream again.
    On your Apple TV go to Settings>iCloud
    Click on iCloud Photo Settings
    Turn off both the My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing options then turn them back on again
    Select Photo Stream from the Settings menu and navigate to select the photo stream you want to use
    Preview the slide show
    I have about 400 images in the photo stream that I use to display on Apple TV and during the preview it took about two minutes before the images displayed.
    Then I tested it in a normal setting where I have slide show starting after two minutes. The TV went to screensaver mode after two minutes and was black for about two minutes before the images appeared. Before the update the images would display shortly after the screensaver kicked on.
    I hope this helps!

  • Why are photos showing on my iPad and iPhone photo streams but not my mac's photo stream

I've tried turning the wifi on and off again, I've tried turn the devices off and on again. nothing is working! all i want is my work backed up! can anyone help me please?!

    Hello BeccaBatte,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below to help resolve this issue with Photo Stream.
    I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
    Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
    If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
    If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.
