Photo stream skipping some pictures....

Hi! I'm saving from Lightroom to the folder where I want to get the pictures streamed to my iPhone.... most of the time it works, but there are some pictures that don't want to transfer, unless I move them out of the folder and put them back in, some times not even doing that helps, it will just skip the photo.....   I'm exporting all the photos in a size of 2500 Pixels wide, all with the same preset..... any ideas? of just a bug????

Welcome to the Apple Community.
All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
If the problem persists:
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
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.

  • HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

    I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
    Help much appreciated!

    Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
    Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
    Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
    have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

  • Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens

    Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues.  I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
    Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How do I access my Photo Stream to delete pictures?

    How do I access my Photo Stream to delete pictures?

  • HT201077 I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

    I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. I put it back as soon as I realized. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

    Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However,  I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

  • Temporarily turn off photo stream without losing pictures

    Hi, I have photo stream turned on my iphone. I recently took a huge load of pictures and I want to review it on bigger screen and delete some. To airplay on bigger screen, I need to turn on wifi on my iphone to be on the same wifi network as my apple TV. however, as soon as I turn on wifi, my iphone will start uploading every picture (even the crap ones) to icloud and push to all my other devices, which I don't want to see happen... When i try to turn photo stream off in my iphone -> settings, it warn me that all my photo stream pictures will be deleted.... why is it so hard to temporarily disable photo stream synching? or am i missing an obvious way? thanks!

    Because there is no "temporarily" turning Photo Stream off.

  • IOS 7 is prevented from uploading to Photo Stream by some apps

    I have found that some apps such as LINE and Facebook Camera prevent iOS 7 from uploading photoos to my Photo Stream.
    The phenominum is the followings:
    1. Take some photos by camera app of iPhone.
    2. Uploading the photos to LINE or Facebook by the apps.
    3. These photos won't appear in my Photo Stream.
    I turned off the Photo Stream in Preference and then turned on it.
    However, the photos never appeared in my Photo Stream.
    I don't think I had experienced this phenominun until I updated to iOS 7.
    I guess it might be a bug of iOS 7.

    That's probably what I'm going to do as well, until either Apple gets its PhotoStream act (back?) together, or until I switch all to Loom. Since I use Aperture mainly for organizing my pics, and only occasionally edit Sony RAW files (hence no LightRoom), this kind of solution becomes increasingly probable – and attractive, too, since my Aperture library is by far the largest disk space user, even though I have all originals on an external SSD.
    About the only thing I'd probably miss, is a native non-webbrowser photo app on OSX. On the other hand, I certainly will not miss Aperture's 1.5GB+ RAM usage, and all-too-frequent crashes under Maverick.

  • Where does photo stream place the pictures on my mac?

    In aperture, when I use photostream, I see a project called Photo Stream and it is adding the pictures to the project after I take them on my phone. All of my other pictures, I can click on them to select show in finder to see the master but where does photo stream place the master pictures?

  • Does photo stream keep my pictures forever?

    My wife's iPhone is out of space. She has 8 gb of pictures and videos. She is signed up for extra back up storage online with apple.
    If we delete photos and videos from iPhone, will they still be retained in the cloud? If not, can we make them be retained in cloud or photo stream forever?

    The only photo stream photos that stay in iCloud indefinitely are photos added to a shared stream (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  (Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.)  The only issue with this is that they will be a lower resolution than the originals in your camera roll (3.1-3.5 megapixels). 
    Also, adding them to photo stream or a shared stream doesn't save any room on your phone because a copy will still be on your phone.  If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud.
    If you want to store your photo on the internet and still have access to them to view from your phone, use a service that is designed for that such as Flikr, Smugmug, etc.  You can also consider an alternative cloud service such as Dropbox.
    Whatever you do, you should back them up on your computer by importing them from the camera roll with your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • HT201317 Some photos go to Photo Stream and some go to Camera Roll.  How to fix this so that all go to Photo Stream when I take pics?

    Sometimes when I take pics on my iPhone 4s the some of the pics go to the Photo Stream while others go to the Camera Roll.  Why do they not all go to the camera roll?  How to fix this?

  • Pictures in my Photo Stream disappeared?

    I was checking my photo stream for some pictures I took a while ago. I had about 750 photos on my Photo Stream, which I know is under the "1000 photos before they start deleting from your device" rule. Suddenly, just yesterday (after recently upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 if that helps) I noticed that only about 100 still remained in my Photo Stream. My computer is too old to have iCloud, so if these pictures are gone from my phone and Apple ID forever, this is not a good thing for me. If anyone could help me to retrieve these photos, that I most certainly did not accidentaly delete, I would be really greatful.

    I found a fix guys, had the same thing... photos gone from camera role but still showed they are occupying the memory.
    if you download iFunbox (www.i-funbox.com) you will be able to acccess you iphone, ipod, ipad system and can just copy to computer the jpg files from the RAW FILE SYSTEM or CAMERA tab by selecting all the photos.

  • Some pictures in photo stream are sideways, how do I rotate them?

    I imported all my new photos into one event and rotated them as needed.  Now I see them in photo stream and some are rotated and some are not.....what is going on?  How can I have all pictures face the correct direction?
    Thanks for your help!

    How are you vieing your photos and how were they taken?
    If they were taken with an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) then they have embedded in the EXIF data the camera orientation.  If your viewing software is current enough, it will read this information and display the photos in the proper orientation.  If you have pulled these photos into a software which does not honoir this EXIF header information, you could have rotated them, and now be causing applications which do honor the header to be rotating the image incorrectly.
    To be able to provide moe help, we will need more specifics.

  • HT201317 Some of my older camera roll pictures are not on my photo stream, how do I get them on my photo stream?

    I just now turned on my photo stream so my pictures from my iphone 4S can go to my desk top.  Not sure why I didn't do this sooner, and a bunch of pictures from my photo stream didn't make it to my computer.  Also, a bunch of pictures that are on my camera roll are not appearing on my photo stream.  Not sure how to solve this problem.

    PhotoStream holds a maximum of 1000 pictures, and they must be 30 days old, or less.

  • 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.
