Photo Stream working... sometimes and very slowly

I'm having these issues with Photo Stream:
1. I see the Photo Stream is selectively uploading photos to iCloud. I expected to see every photo that went into the Camera Roll uploaded to iCloud, but that's not the case. Lots of photos have been skipped.
2. I see the Photo Stream is taking AGES to push my photos to iCloud. I expected to see a constant flow of photos into the iCloud, but it's actually happening terribly slowly. Sometimes it stops uploading photos FOR HOURS, while I'm still connected to my home WiFi. It uploads 5 or 6 photos, and then just stops.
I don't know what's going on but it looks like this behavior is waaaay different from what Apple is selling. If this is the actual behavior we're going to have, then it would be much better to let Google do the job with the Google+ photo uploader, which just works as you expect it to work.
If anyone know what might be happening, I'll really appreciate the help.

For some reason it started working all of a sudden. I hope that was just a hiccup

  • Photo stream works very strange

    Photo stream works very strange. It sync photos in different order or don't sync some photos. I have different numbers of photos on my devices - 120 on iPhone, 183 on iPad, 160 on another iPad. What nonsense????

    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.

  • TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • My Photo Stream on iPad and Apple TV

    I have 84 photos in My Photo Stream on my iMac and was previously able to get all of them in my screensaver on Apple TV.  After a recent upgrade I can only get 3 pictures on Apple TV.  On my iPad there are 18 pictures.  How can all of the pictures be synced to all of my devices?

    Hi Felicia G,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below will explain how Photo Stream works.
    Another way to organize photos is to make sure they are automatically added to your computer and use Home Sharing to see them on your Apple TV.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
    If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the images in My Photo Stream are removed from that device. The images in My Photo Stream on your other devices are not affected. Images added to My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you added them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device. Before turning off My Photo Stream, it's a good idea to save any photos that you'd like to keep to your Camera Roll. Learn more about saving your photos to your Camera Roll.
    How do I view My Photo Stream?
    Apple TV: After signing in with your iCloud account, you can view your photos by choosing iCloud Photos or Photo Stream from the main menu (or selecting Internet > Photo Stream in Apple TV Software Update 5.0).
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (2nd generation or later)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12153?viewlocale=en_US
    With Apple TV (2nd generation or later), you can stream content to your home theater system from your iTunes library, and the iTunes libraries of all the computers in your Home Sharing network. You can also stream digital photos stored on your computer.
    Stream photos from your computer to Apple TV
    Once Home Sharing is set up on your computer and on Apple TV, you can use iTunes to stream photos to your home theater system.
    In iTunes, choose File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV.
    In the window that appears, select Share Photos From, and choose a source from the pop-up menu.
    Choose “All photos, albums, events, and faces” or “Selected albums, events, and faces.”If you chose “Selected albums, events, and faces,” select the albums, events, and faces you want to stream.
    Click Apply.
    Hope this information helps ....

  • HT4759 However, having a windows XP is not supported... how am I supposed to get the photo stream working on iCloud? I guess that is not a priority for Apple?

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation, which is exactly what I wanted for a wifi supported multimedia device. I am trying to get the iCloud to work properly and despite of everything else working smoothly, I cannot seem to be able to get the Photo Stream working, in order to get the backup on iCloud. I tried to download the control panel and realised that it only supports the Vista SP2 and higher on Windows. Is there another way to get the settings on iCloud to include the photo stream?
    Thank you.

  • Facetime works sometimes and not others

    My fiance and I are trying to get facetime working since we currently live across states. I'm on my iPad 2 and she's on her MBP (she got one a few months before the most recent update to Sandy Bridge, fyi).
    When it comes to facetime, I can use it with my friend who has an iPhone 4 flawlessly. It literally works every single time. With my fiance, we've gotten it to work/connect 3 times total. Once while I was in the same room as her, and twice since then across our connections.
    So I don't think it's a port issue as it tends to work sometimes and not others. It feels like the software is literally just not working right. Can anyone lend a hand? A few points of interest:
    - Skype works perfectly (the resolution is just meh and you can't turn it on the iPad). So video is going through
    - It has worked before
    - When it has connected in the past, the two times it wasn't at her place, we've been randomly disconnected and unable to reconnect
    - The error it gives is on her end - Failed to connect or something like that
    Thanks for the help!

    I am having the same problem with safari and mail have to use the home button, swipe to clear memory won't work either my mini is only a few months old, so it has to be the update.

  • My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

    When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
    You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

  • What's the difference between "photo stream", 'camera roll' and 'photos' ?

    I can't download the new update because I don't have enough storage. I bought more storage but my camera roll is 6.2 GB. Photo stream is 323 MB. Can someone please explain the difference between photo stream, camera roll, and photos. Thanks.

    Photo Stream is a feature of iCloud;
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    The Camera Roll is an album on the iPad with any photos that you transfer from a camera or memory card using the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad or any screen shots that you take with the iPad or any photos that you take with the cameras on an iPad 2, as opposed to any albums that you have synced to the iPad from your computer using the iTunes app. The Camera Roll comes and goes as needed. If you have no photos that would go into the Camera Rol, it disappears, and returns when it is needed.
    iPhoto is an Apple photo app for the Mac computer. It is part of the iLife suite of Mac apps;

    Hi, you can't have a PowerMac, they can't run 10.6, 10.7, or ML/10.8!
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • HT201317 My iPhoto keeps telling me that it is unable to connect with photo stream and when I click on Photo Stream in iCloud settings, a few minutes later, it is un checked. Please help. Photo Stream works on my iPad and iPhones, just no longer on my mac

    Hi. When icloud first came out it worked well on all of my mac devices (macbook pro, ipad, iphones). However now it no longer works on my computer. When I go to system preferences it is unchecked and when I check to enable it, it tells me it can't. I also go to iCloud settings and when I check the photo stream box a few minutes later it is unchecked (which I never do). Please help.

    Mmmm, I was hoping there might be a few more clues.
    With little confidence you might try the following.
    Reset photostream at iCloud.com.
    Log out/in of iCloud on your Mac.
    Trash your system preferences plist.

  • Photo stream in aperture and iphoto are not working for me.

    Can anyone help?  I have been getting this message on Iphoto 11 9.2 (626) "iphoto was unable to connect to photo stream" and in Aperture "aperture was unable to connect to photo stream"  everything is working on icloud except this.

    Well, after banging my head on this for a few weeks, I looked at my logs.
    PhotoStreamAgent was crashing over and over again.
    Looked araound a bit, found nothing.
    So, I removed all the PhotoStream related files from ~/Library/Prefereces/com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
    Please do this at your own risk.  It worked fine for me. I looked at the files before running this and saw nothing I couldn't live without.   Figured, worst case I wiped out iCloud settings, and set them up again (which I've already done anyway trying to resovle this).
    Open up a terminal (you should probably stop here if you don't know how to do that, but it's in Applications > Utilities)
    cd Library/Preferences
    ls com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
    The last line will show you the files we're about to delete.  You can stop now if you see something important.
    Lastly:
    rm com.apple.iLifePhotoStream.*
    Go turn on Photo Stream in System Preferences and try again in Aperture.  Worked first try for me after nothing else had.
