Photo Stream upload rarely works

Most often than not, my photos that I place in my Upload folder rairly uplads to my devices.  I have tried numerous times the following:
Signed in and out of iCloud Control Panel
Reintalled iCloud Control Panel
Rebooted PC
Rebooted Modem/Router
Turned on and off PhotoStream in iOS
Delted and added just 1 picture to upload folder
Other data uploads fine to iCloud (calendar, contacts, etc)  Just not photos.
This is very frustrating.  It has been like this since they added this feature to iOS.  Not sure what else to do.  Some times it works and other times it doesn't.  Running Windows 7.

Hi...
Yes, photos deleted from your upload folder on the PC are not deleted from your Photo Stream.

  • Hi,   My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC

    Hi,
    My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
    When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos.  That option is ghosted.  I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  All help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Photo Stream no longer working on PC after iOS 8

    Photo Stream has always worked well for me, automatically uploading all photos taken with my iPhone to my Windows 7 PC.  However, since I updated to iOS 8, Photo Stream no longer uploads to the PC.  It works on all my iOS devices, but no longer uploads new photos to the PC.  I have re-installed iCloud for Windows, but this has not made a difference.  Am I overlooking something or is this a common problem iOS 8 users are having?
    Thanks for your help!

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

  • Photo Stream is not working in Apple TV.

    After upgrading to 5.1, Photo Stream is not working.  An "Unable to sign in. The iCloud Terms of Service have changed" indication appears when trying to connect.
    What should i do?
    Thanks.

    First thing first: are you logged in with the same Apple ID on the iPhone and the Apple TV?

  • Photo stream is not working on 4s.

    Photo stream hasn't worked for over a week now. It seems to only work when I take a pic while connected to wifi but if I'm out somewhere, take pics, come home and connect to wifi it still won't stream my photos.

    Photo stream doesn't work , wen I take photo, photos doesn't appear in photo stream

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    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.

  • Photo stream doesn't work on my PC

    My photo stream doesn't work on my PC. I'm signed in, and have photo stream on, but it won't load any of my photos.

    Okay several views and no replies later I did some more research myself and tried something different.
    I reset my photo stream following these directions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
    Then I went into iCloud control panel on my laptop and signed out it told me photostream was turned off and the folder my pictures were stored in.  I looked and saw a picture I took this morning in there YAY.  So I then signed into iCloud again and turned photostream back on and took a picture with my iPhone and now my photos are streaming again.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

    In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
    If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

  • "photo stream" isn't working

    Hi guys,
    I bought a Macbook Pro in Augest. As soon as I got it, I tried to use photo stream. It worked perfectly when I use my iPod touch to take a picture; it will automatically send my photo to the mac. But, now the photo stream is not working. I was wondering if my iPod touch has some sort of issues, so I cannot have the same experience as when I first use photo stream.  Now I have an iPhone 5, and gosh.. it doesn't work as well.... I desire to know how can I fix this problem.
    Thank you,
    Apple Fans

    You might want to try toggling photo stream off, then back on on you phone and iPod Touch to see if that would get things working again.  Before doing so, if you have photos in photo stream that are older than 30 days old that are no longer in your camera roll or backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before turning off photo stream.  To save them to your camera roll open your photo stream album on your in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • TS3989 Photo stream upload issues

    I have had battery issues with my iphone 4s and as a result took it to genious bar. My iphone was wiped and resotred as a new device.
    my phone was restored from icloud where i had approx 200 photos in photo stream. however only 9 photos from my photo stream uploaded back onto my iphone.
    can anyone assist on how to retrieve these photograph.
    thanks

    You will have to Pardon my ignorance. I am a relative beginner to this.
    The staff member at the genius bar checked my phone and he said the photograph that where on my photo stream prior to doing the restore would automatically upload on to my iPhone when I restore my settings from iCloud. However only 9 photos done this and there other 100 odd photos didn't.
    I am confused!

  • I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband.  His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook .  How can I stop that ?

    Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts?  If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password.  If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

    Hi..
    Tap Settigns > iCloud
    Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Restart your device: 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.
    See if that made a difference...
