Photo Stream pictures missing

After updating my iphone 4 from os 6.0.1 to current 7.1.1 I only have 5 pictures remaining in my photo stream.  Where did my other pictures go?

Photo Stream will hold 1000 photos in My Photo Stream on an iOS device but once it is signed out they are lost and you only get the last 30 days once signed back in. I assume there was a problem during your update that made you lose your Photo Stream then once re-established you only received the last 30 days.
Just out of curiousity, how were there photos in Photo Stream that were not in your Camera Roll?
Did you delete them from the Camera Roll?
If you feel they are in your backup then try restoring. It certainly can't hurt as you will still end up with the same 5 photos you have now if it doesn't work.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
After it it resets, go through the setup until you get to the Set up your iPhone screen
Then select either iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • How can I save my photo stream pictures?

    So, Apple in it's infinate wisdom has nearly ruined my honeymoon and I'm at my wits end to save what is left of my digital archive of the trip.  How on earth can I SAVE my photo stream pictures OFF of an iDevice??  I have 210 pictures that I desperately need to save onto my computer and the only place they exist at the moment is inside the photostream.
    Not that it matters, but let me vent... the reason they only exist is in the photo stream is because of Apple's under-prepared servers for iOS5 deployment and a glitch in iTunes that wiped my phone immediately as I plugged it in today (no sync, no confirm, just plug, beep, and then a wiped phone in under 5 seconds).
    I lost all of my phone content, which luckilly I'm an exchange user so the most important stuff is always duplicated off the device.  But my pictures and video from my week long honeymoon were on my phone and while SOME of them did sync to iCloud, not all of them did (still don't know why THAT is - but that's the next mission) and NONE of my videos were in the cloud.  On top of that, no backup has been done by iCloud in over a week even though I have been on wifi and charging several nights on the trip, and all last night once I got home.  No backup.  Wiped phone.  *** Apple.
    Where I stand right now is a photo stream full of pictures that I want to save and cannot seem to get to.  First thought was that since iCloud is a cloud based service I bet I can log into a web site and see all of my content an save it from there.  Nope.  This is Apple so of course that option would make too much sense.  All I can do from the web portal is look at pretty icons and delete my pictures.  I can't even browse them, much less save them.  Again, ***.
    So next on my now restored phone (from a week old backup) I can see my photo stream and a nice little save button exists.  Good, that'll save it to the camera roll and I can copy them off like the other pictures.  Nope.  I select some pictures, click save, and nothing happens.  I select 20 or so pictures, click save, and 2 pictures show up in my camera roll??  Again, *** Apple.
    So there is also an option to add the pictures to a new album.  Ok, here we go.  Select all 210 pictures, add to a new album, and yes it makes a new album.  Now to save that album off to my PC... NOPE.  The album is nowhere to be found in the file system (where the camera roll pictures live).
    Ok, so at least I can now back up my phone so I know that these pictures won't just fall off the iCloud in 30 days.  Backup goes fine... and is 30M in size.  Son of a...!  There is no way that backup includes all those pictures.
    I installed the Windows iCloud manager - that sounds like it would let you MANAGE your iCloud content, but nope.  You can manage your payment info, and have it stream NEW photos to you, but you cannot get to your existing photos!  One last time Apple... W T F.
    How can I retrieve photos that are in my photo stream?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, select the rectangle with the arrow in it, in the top right hand corner of your photo stream screen and select the pictures you wish to save to your camera roll then tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose camera roll from the options that appear.

  • How do i upload the photo stream pictures on my iphone to my pc

    hi
    i have successfully uploaded some photos from my Iphone to my pc

    You have iCloud control panel installed on your PC and you're signed in? If so, sign out, restart the machine, then sign back in.

  • Photo Sharing in ios 6 shows all my photo streaming pictures

    I decided to test the photo sharing feature in ios 6. I created an album and sent it to myself and was horrified to see that not only could I access the test album, but ALL my photo streamed pictures were available for viewing. I created another album, sent it to a gmail email account I have and had other same issue.  Next, I created a third album and send the "public sharing" link to myself: it didn't show the third album but rather the previously created second photo stream album, even though I had already deleted it.
    I never had this problem with MobileMe.
    ANy suggestions?

    I just did the same upgrade with my 3GS.  I am having a similar problem.  My contacts are on the phone now, but my music and apps are not.  When I try to restore the back up this is the message I get:  itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started.
    I see my my music and apps in my itunes library, but if I try to autofill it to my phone I get this message:  itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in library can be copied to the iphone.
    Can you help?

  • Time Capsule gathering Photo Stream pictures?

    Is there a way to make Time Capsule gathering Photo Stream pictures, instead using Mac or PC for this task?
    Managing (a fast growing amount of) pictures on the iPhone (/iPad) is a big "pain in the ***" today...
    Here is what I am looking for as a perfect solution for this challenge:
    1. You can configure Time Capsule in a way that it gets automatically all iPhone (/iPad) pictures via Photo Stream, and stores them permanently (like a Mac does today via iPhoto)
    2. You can mark selected pictures on the iphone as "store permanent on the iPhone" (favorites like childrens pictures etc.)
    3. You can select a time frame  when pictures are deleted automatically on the iPhone (of course deleted only when they had been stored permanently on Time Capsule)
    4. You can select how many pictures should be stored (via Photo Stream) on your iPhone
    5. You can access ALL pictures on Time Capsule directly from the iPhone. (The overview about pictures would work with thumbnails to reduce required storage for the preview; selected pictures can then be downloaded. For the download you can select a reduced resolution of the picture to save download capacity)
    6. Option to backup pictures on an external harddisk and/or online storage

    I'm not sure where to move the photos--in a seperate photo file or directly into iphoto.
    This is really a question for the iPhoto support forum, but since I have done this, it might help to know that the iPhoto Library is stored in your Pictures folder on the Mac.
    Click the Finder icon at the far left of the dock at the bottom the screen to locate the Pictures folder.
    When you open iPhoto for the first time, you may need to "point" iPhoto at the iPhoto Library by holding down the option key as you open iPhoto.
    Please post in the iPhoto support area on specific iPhoto questions.

  • Does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    does photo stream pictures take space on my computer

    Only if you have iPhoto setup to automatically import the Photo Stream photos.
    Otherwise they are just on the iCloud server and will be removed after 30 days.

  • Editing Photo Stream Pictures

    When I edit a photo stream picture the only option it gives me is to save it to Camera Roll.  Is there a way to change this so it will save the edited photo to Photo stream?

    Hi

    The order displayed is 'Date taken' and then 'Date modified', but any photo without a 'date taken' will appear at the bottom , not the top

  • Can't find my photo stream pictures anywhere, my even in "collections"

    I can't find any of my photos from my photo stream. I have very limited space on my phone, so I routinely delete my photos, but I always thought that they would be safe on the photo stream. Now it's gone. All of my photos are gone. I'm left with only the 80 photos I've taken in the past few weeks. I trusted photo stream to hold onto my photos for me but I can't find it anywhere!! I know that Apple changed everything by lumping all of our pictures into collections, but none of my photo stream pictures are there and I've read that they should be! I have no idea where to go to retrieve them. Are they all just gone now??

    Thank you for the reply! Where would I go to find the rest of my photo stream pictures? Is there somewhere online I could go to retrieve them? The only photo albums I have are:
    All photos
    Favorites
    Videos
    Recently Deleted
    And then I have the collections section. My pictures aren't in any of them, and I have no photo stream folder.
    Back when I did have the photo stream folder, it held pictures that I had taken months ago. It was at a 1000 picture limit of course though.

  • Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud.  Should there be an icon there?  Do I need to install another icon?

    Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud.  Should there be an icon there?  Do I need to install another icon?

    I'm not totally sure I understand what you are asking or expecting to see.
    You will only find your Photo Stream photos in iCloud, not the camera roll photos. What I mean is that any older photos that you have in the camera roll will not appear in the photo stream. Only photos that you have taken with the iPad, after you turned photo stream on, appear in the photo stream.
    You can create a shared photo stream album with older camera roll photos, but the camera roll itself is not in iCloud.com.
    Where are you looking in iCloud to see these photos?

  • Aperture 3.4.3 - shared photo stream option missing

    Shared Photo Stream option missing from Preferences in Aperture 3.4.3.  When I move photos over to "Shared Photo Stream" under Recents, it seems to import the images, but I'm not sure where they're going....i.e. I never specified a Shared Photo Stream name to associate them with.  Thoughts?  I'm running 10.7.5.

    Where do you see "Shared Photo Stream" under "Recent"?
    The Photo Streams are supposed to appear in the "Web" section of the library, not in the "Recent" section. Are you seeing a recent project there, accidentally named "Shared Photo Stream"? Then you are dragging your images to a project, and not to a stream.
    Look in the "Web" section of the Library inspector for "Photo Stream". If the stream is hidden, hover with the mouse to the far right of the title "WEB", until the word "Show" appears.
    Selecting a stream and opening should make the "PhotoStream" button appear in the footer of the window.

  • How do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted

    how do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted? I cant remember whether I have back up or not.

    If they aren't in Photos>Photo Stream, then they are deleted and cannot be recovered. Try restoring from a recent backup that has those photos.

  • Missing Photo Stream pictures?

    Some of the photos on my iPhone are not showing up in the Photo Stream!  Whyyyyyy?!

    You're referring to PhotoStream in iPhoto, right?  Go to each device, Mac and iPhone, and turn off PhotoStream and then turn it back on.  See if that will jump start PS.

  • Photo Stream Thumbnail Missing

    iPhoto '11 (9.2.3)
    Recentely retrieved iPhoto library from Time Machine backup and found issues with photo stream pictrues.
    Photo Stream Mar 2012, Feb 2012, etc. thumbnails are missing in events.  When you click/select the even it opens to a list of empty thumbnails.  When you select the empty thumbnail it opens and shows the picture.
    In some cases in "photos" it shows an entire list of the same randam image.  Again, when you select the photo it shows the correct photo.
    How can this be fixed??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Did some searching and came across this solution:
