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.
article was updated on Oktober 28, after new iphoto came out, but sometimes they running late.

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

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.

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

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 work half way

I have been taking photos around today when I am out of the house. So I took around 10 pictures. On my iPhone, the photo stream folder, there are all 10 photos. On my iPad however when I got home only have photo 1-4, 7 and 10. Why I can't get photo 5, 6, 8 and 9? And how do I get it?

You are better than me. I got just about 1/3 show up but they disappeared the next day. Appears to work fine oh iPhone and Mac. Of course since there is no way to delete individual pics, doubt it's of much use.

Does photo stream work?

Does it effectively push all the photos you take or import to all your Macs and iPad?
I have 2 Macs and iPad, but one of the Macs is not up-to-date with all my pics. Will photo stream automatically sync that Mac with the other Mac and iPad which are up-to-date or will I have to import the missing pics to that Mac some other way?
I have been reluctant to buy this product because of all the negative reviews.

http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
It streams all of the photos you take - it does not stream the ones you import or ones taken prior to adding Photo Stream

Why doesn't photo stream work? my photos do not get uploaded?

my photos dont get uploaded to photo stream? why?it stopped uploading 2 weeks ago it is supposed to do it automatically once u have a wi fi connection ( or 3g )..

I'll assume you are talking about an iOS device that takes photos.
Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position. If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos. For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

How does Photo Streaming works?

Hello, I know what does the Photo Streaming funcionality does basically, but I wanted to know what is behind taking a picture and then seeing it in my mac afterwards.
Also some concrete questions I had were:
How long does it take for a picture to get into the iCloud server? and how long does it take to get into iPhoto?
If I had a picture in my iPhone and I mistakenly delete it, would it be in my Photo Stream? Any exceptions?
Is it completely automatic? Do ALL my devices with my account get this photos?
and Finally, Do they need storage when synchronized?
Thanks!!

iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices."

HT4906 i have lion 10.7.5 why can't photo stream work

how do u use photo stream with lion 10.7.5

What is your iPhoto version? You will need iPhoto 9.2 (or later) to use the regular Photo Stream; for the more advanced Shared Photo Streams you need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
See:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
iCloud: Photo Stream Troubleshooting
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.

TS4425 I tried this on my iPad. The but did not get any terms and conditions. Photo stream works fine on the iPad but not on Apple TV. What do I do?

Followed the instructions but they don't work. On the iPad I got no new T&Cs and it works fine. So I have no means to agree the new T&Cs and because of that it does not work on Apple TV.

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.
