Photo stream query - Where are my pictures.

Hi
I have an imac, ipad (3) and iphone 5. When I take a picture with my iphone or ipad then the photo's appear in each others photo stream. However, they do not appear in the photo stream of the imac. I have checked in settings in all cases and they are showing photo stream switched on. However, in iphoto on the imac if I click on it it says turn on photo stream or no thanks. It also says it is connected to my email address. Can you please advise on what I am doing wrong.

Sorry, this is less of an iMac-specific issue but more of an iCloud case as Photostream is an iCloud feature. Here are a few discussion forums dedicated to iCloud, and you might be better off posting there.

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

HT5622 Some pictures in my iCloud show up blank on my ipad.... But it says I have zero pics on my iPhone... Where are my pictures?

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 (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) 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.
The problem I see is that the photos aren't on your phone and you won't be able to get them from the cloud because they are over 30 days old.
As for your iPad it sounds like they might be there, but you have encountered some sort of corruption. The problem is you can't turn photo stream off and on again to reset it, because you would lose what ever you have (even though they are corrupt) and they can't be recovered from the cloud.
The only suggestion I have is to try restarting the iPad.

HT204053 Where are my pictures on ICLOUD???

so, when i open icloud, there are contacts and find my phone and iwork and WHERE ARE MY PICTURES???

The only pictures currently stored in iCloud are in Photo Stream, accessible from Photos on the iPhone, or iPhoto on a Mac.

Where are my pictures on my cloud?

You can't veiw photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you are looking. You can only see them on iOS devices/computers that are signed into your account with my photo stream enabled.
If you want to see them on the web, add them to a shared stream with the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). This will give you a private url to view them on the web from your computer browser.

Is there any way to have photo stream to sync to my pictures folder like it did before installing iLife 11?

Hi,
Before installing iLife 11, my photo stream synced to the (Finder)Pictures- Photo Stream - which I very much liked.
Now I have installed iLife 11, iPhoto has taken over and the photos syncthere, not in the original Photo Stream folder.
Is there any way for me to revert syncing to the pictures folder ratherthan with iPhoto?
2 reasons why:
1 - I have to copy the photos out of iPhoto which is annoying, there’sno point in having a auto sync if I have to copy out of iPhoto, I might aswell becopying off my phone.
2 - photos only sync when iPhoto is open so I have to wait for them todownload whereas before they synced as I took them and when I got in, they were'just there' and now I have to wait.
If anyone can suggest a solution for me that would be great, I don’twant to remove iPhoto from my system so that’s not an option.
If there isn’t a solution, what’s Apple playing at? Surely this isfrustrating for users other than me?
Thanks in advance.

Where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer?

Nov. 29, I had my computer repaired from a trojan, & I figured out that everything i've done since Sept. 13th was gone because when the computer guy was fixing it, he tried to put in the new MicroSD card reader, but he had to put an old one back in (from Sept.) as the new one had wrong connections.
Then, when he started the PC he only had the C drive (& my documents and pictures are on the A drive). He turned it off and realized he accidentally disconnected one of the mirror hard drives for Drive A. He had to turn it off and open it again and reconnect the cable that was disconnected.
During that moment perhaps a line in the drive had become corrupted. So, I restored through Carbonite, hoping I'd get back almost everything (or at least whatever was done being backed up). However, I lost quite a few pictures.
Tuesday, however, I noticed that the pictures I lost were imported into the organizer for Adobe Photoshop 10, which is on the C drive, so I'm hoping the pictures are still there, even if they are thumbnails (I assume they would be)! But where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer? I assume in a folder somewhere? Am I able to copy them? (A low quality image, is better than no image!)

The thumbnail cache is separate and lives in the system files.
You could try a new catalog - it doesn’t involve any duplication.
Click: File >> Catalog
Click the New button
Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
Then click OK
When the new blank catalog opens click: File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files & Folders
Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures or wherever you put your photos) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders or make sure the checkbox is marked.
Click Open or Get Media
Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.
N.B. You may not get all the metadata (keywords etc) but in view of the problems you have had it may be your best hope.

I like the pictures of screensaver "National Geographic", I want to use one of them as my desktop background. But when I go to System/Library/Screensaver, I don't see a folder named "National Geographic". And I searched all the pictures in the Screensaver folder, I didn't found any pictures which are displayed in sreensave mode. Can anybody know where are those pictures saved?

Around the web where are there pictures of how you insert a disc?...

Around the web where are there pictures of how you insert a disc?... into a 27 inch iMac 3.2GHz Intel Core i3

I can see this happening sometimes. Especially if someone is mainly used to working with power macs; most of which have a dvd tray/s as opposed to slot loading mac computers.
@ Bengt Wärleby .... good point regarding the use of mini dvd's most of which can easily be used with modern burners and dvd-rom drives that use a tray.
Slot loading macs work well with a full size / standard dvd or CD only.

Where are my pictures in Photo Stream?

My Photo Stream that's been pretty reliable until I got a new pc just decided to lose all of my pictures from over the years. New pictures still go there and I can see those, but all my old ones are gone now, why?Where did they go and can I get them back? I've looked at several of the help articles, but they mostly just say to check internet connection. My internet connection seems fine and I really don't think that's the problem, becuase it never has been before. When I synced my phone to my new pc, it temporarily erased my contacts and notes, etc., could that be the cause? Please tell me its only temporary, and if someone could help me get those pictures back, I'd be extremely greatful. Apple products are hard for me to navigate and very user unfriendly in my opinion, so if anyone could help, every detail would be appreciated.

As far as restoring goes, you will have to check itunes restore from a backup, or have imported them somewhere else.

Try resetting Photo Stream ..
On the iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.
