Photo streaming synch problem.

Today has appear an "unknow" picture on mi iPhone 4's streaming folder (IOS 6.1), I suppose this picture was downloaded to my iPad (wifi+3G IOS 5.1) and then deleted from the camera roll and the streaming (because it's any more). Both devices are using the same apple ID and have photo streaming enable.
The iPad is always conected to the wifi home network and my phone just every night when I arrive from the office. So, I've no idea how this picture was pushed to my phone, I mean... If that photo was deleted from the iPad when the iPhone was not able to reach a wifi network, why is it on the iPhone?. Let's suppose that the iPhone found a wifi network during that period of time when the picture was present in the iPad and it was pushed to the iPhone, then the picture was deleted from the ipad when the iPhone was not conected to the wifi network, so it suppose when I arrived to home and the iPhone reached the home network the photo streaming should have to be updated, I mean it shuld be delete, but it doesn't happened.
What is happening? Why there is in the iPhone streaming folder a picture that is any more in the iPad? When they suppose must to remain synched.
Please Help!!! I need to explain to my wife why is that picture in there, if I don't... I have a big big problem.
Best regards.

Take a look here, this should solve your problem immediately:

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.

Some pictures not synching on photo stream

I'm having a problem witht the photo stream. For some reason, of the 25 or so photos I have taken on my iphone, a few do not get synched to the Photo Stream. I've tried resetting PS (ie turning it off and then back on again) but the same few pictures keep getting left out. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Update: I dragged one of the photos that hadn't imported to one of my Photo Albums in iPhoto on my Mac. When I do this, the photo appears in the album, but when I select Show Event, it takes me to that monthly Photo Stream event but the photo isn't there. It's almost like these photos are hidden within the event the Photo Stream generates per month, but that event lists no hidden photos. I'm not even sure how I could get these photos in my library manually in a place that I could find them in the future!

I utilize WIFI sync to sync all my information....however the photos don't sync wirelessly...is that because I have version iPhoto '09 8.1.2 ? if I upgraded can I wirelessly sync over wifi or can you only use Photo Stream to synch photos and you can't do

didn't meany to question your advice...second opinion's never hurt.....

HT6147 iPhone 4S updated to IOS 7.0.6 and now my Photo Stream doesn't synch photos to my Camera Roll - how do I fix this?

iPhone 4S updated to IOS 7.0.6 and now my Photo Stream doesn't synch photos to my Camera Roll - how do I fix this?

seems like your phone isn't activated properly. try doing a hard reset (hold power+home until phone restarts).
if you have a CDMA carrier, this might not fix it for you. call the carrier and ask them to reset the activation.

Why is photo stream not synching across multiple devices?

I am using an iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Pro - all with Photo Stream enabled on the same account - yet the photos in my individual photo streams are no identical across all. There are a handful of photos that in the stream that I can find on all of my devices, but at the same time, each device also has a number (sometimes quite a few) that are only on that particular device, despite it appearing on that device's photo stream. How can I sync them so that they all have the same photos? I thought that was the purpose of photo stream...

Photostream is streaming, not syncing service. So every device that you have will have photos from the time that photostream was enabled on that device. As long as photostream folder exists in your iphoto, you can force pictures into it. Just move or copy those pictures in photostream folder in iphoto on your Macs. They will get moved into icloud and downloaded to other devices. Remember that photostream is not designed to hold your pictures forever, just 30 days or 1000 pictures. Once 30 days is over it still stays on your computers, but is not in the cloud anymore.

Photo Stream not synching up

Have finally updated everything to iCloud and now the photos that are in the Photo Stream on my iPhone are not showing up in the Photo Stream in iPhoto and vice versa. I have Photo Stream enabled in both places. New photos taken with the iPhone show up in its Photo Stream and photos downloaded into iPhoto from a camera show up into the iPhoto Photo Stream. I want my iPhone Photo Stream to show up in iPhoto. How do I do that?
Thanks!

I want my iPhone Photo Stream to show up in iPhoto.
Is this in iPhoto on your Mac? If it is disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane on your Mac
and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
Reboot the Mac and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped. Both computers are x64 bit.
Problems I am experiencing
A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream. An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
Confirmed all the warnings.
Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
iCloud has.
Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
So I'm back in business.
I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5. I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device. I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
This is really, really frustrating. I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Multiple copies in Aperture Photo Stream

I use one photostream for two iPhone 4Ss, an iPad 2, Apple TV, and on two MacBooks (both running Lion, one using Aperture 3 and one using iPhoto '11).
I have Aperture running on my Late 2009 13" Unibody MacBook Pro automatically import photostream photos taken on my iPhones into the usual "month year Photo Stream" folders.
Here is my issue: when I click on the Photo Stream "Library" on the in Aperture, I find MULTIPLE copies of each photo. The older the photo in photo stream, the more copies (my oldest photo from almost 5 months ago has almost 80 copies!). The most recent photos only have a single copy with number of copies increasing as the photos get older. The first most recent duplicate is from 2 weeks ago with 2 copies. This applies to both photos taken on my iDevices directly to the stream and also photos uploaded to the stream from a DSLR via Aperture. I'm concerned that having 80 copies of older photos (already copied to another folder in my Aperture library) will take up unnecessary space in my Aperture library. I am also afraid to delete any of the copies for fear that they will be removed from the photo stream of any of my multiple devices (some still displaying photos older than 30 days, eg. Apple TV).
Any idea why this is occurring? Any thoughts on preventing it?

I'm having the same problem. I deleted all the photos in the photostream then tried to drag a couple new ones in to see if they'd synch. Nothing is happening. I recently installed aperture (have about 125 gb in the library). If anyone has an idea what to do, i'm open to try something.

HT4847 Photo Stream Backing Up To iCloud as Camera Roll

I have photostream enabled on my iPhone and iPad plus my Macbook.

How can I put old albums into Photo Stream?

It used to be so easy to synch photos to my various devices: iPod touch, iPhone, iPad from my computer using iTunes. I could select the albums I wanted on each device, and there they were! But, iTunes now tells me that it no longer synchs photos. When I go to iPhoto and try to put old photos in the Photo Stream, it takes forever, and the photos in an album are all scrambled. It's like starting over. There has got to be an easier way -- what is it?

Web Galleries published in iPhoto are in the order that the web gallery albums are in iPhoto - if you drag a web gallery into a different position and sync the web gallery matches the order
I do not know how iWeb handles the order -- try web galleries and see how they work for you

Deleting photos in photo stream

There must be a way to delete photos taken on the iphone. Not every photo I take is meant to be kept. anyone figure out a way to do this?

I agree, Photo Stream desperately needs the the ability to selectively delete images. It should work the same way an IMAP email service works. Whenever I delete (or add) an image on one of my devices that change gets synched to the cloud as well as to every other device.
Everyone who wants the current limitation to change please spend two minutes and tell the people, who can actually do something about it:

Merging large camera rolls in photo stream for iCloud merge/backup/share

I've got some pretty large camera rolls on my iPhone, never having realized I wasn't "synching" them to my iPad. Well, I looked at them and saw some large ones, as well as 1.000 photos in my iPhone my photo stream. I'd like iCloud to keep them sync he'd between the two, but can I do that? If I can, how do I take all the camera rolls and all those photos and get them into the my photo stream? There didn't seem to be a way to copy them, that I could see on my iPhone.
is it because the my photo stream size limit is 1,000?
and if not! how do I mass copy all those pics into the my photo stream?
and once I synch those, had do I synch them with the same iCloud account on my MacBook? That also seems like a problem, although Id ultimately like them there, because the faces, events, etc stuff in iPhoto seems really well done, plus, I've got the largest disk by far in my MacBook compared to the RAM in my iPhone & iPad.
any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Something else you may want to set up. If you have the same iCloud account set up on the Mac and you have Photo Stream turned on in iCloud, then in iPhoto, under Preferences>Photo Stream, you can turn on the option to automatically import your Photo Stream into iPhoto. That way, you have a backup of your Photo Stream that is saved in iPhoto Events every Month:
I have mine set up to do this, and I find it to be a great backup to my regular imports. I leave my Photo Stream imports out there as they are generated in Events (June 2013 Photo Stream, July 2013 Photo Stream, etc.). I also then import my Camera Roll every month or so, and import it into an Album that I label as desired. Photo Stream, of course, only has photos, no videos, so importing your Camera Roll is critical if you take videos.
Post back after you have set things up if you have any questions!
Cheers,
GB

Why isn't my photo stream backing up to iCloud anymore?

I have all the boxes ticked for my phone to automatically back up and it has been backing up photos until Nov 19th. I've tried manually backing up and also exiting out of the camera ap on my phone, but I just can't get my photos I've taken since Nov 19th into my iCloud, I have plenty of storage too.
