Photo streaming sync????

I deleted a few pics on photo streaming b/c I didn't like them but they still showed up on my laptop. Why does this happen?

You're welcome. Something to keep in mind about photo stream is that is should not be used to back up your photos. Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that they are deleted from photo stream but will remain on any device that already has them. The issue arises if you ever turn off photo stream, or have to restore your device. When you turn it back on you will only get back the photos that fall within this 30-day window (since the rest are no longer in photo stream).
To be sure you have your photos, regularly import them from your camera roll to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. This will, by definition, back up any photos in your photo stream since they originated in your camera roll.

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

How quickly does photo stream sync for you?

how quickly does photo stream sync for you?

I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.

Photo Stream Syncing

I have :an iMac , New iPad & iPhone 4 , all with iPhoto .

Now , these pictures are in iPhoto's iPhone, iPad & iMac Events and Albums .

Thank you.

Ok so that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I have over 900 photos in photo stream on my I Phone 4S that go back for the last year. However my I Pad 2 seems to delete them after 30 days. I also set up the new version of I Photo on my fiancee's I Mac and the 900 photos haven't synced wtih that either. It's really strange. I'm curious as to how to fix this issue.

Photo Stream Sync

I have downloaded the icloud on my pc. Photo Stream is on in my iphone 5. However, when i go to options on my pc for Photo Stream I don't see the upload and download strreams as i have seen on other help sites. Consequently i am not syncing with the phone. Any ideas?

I connected both iPods to my computer, copy and pasted all photos from 4th gen in a folder in my pictures on my windows computer, syncing my ipod 5 to add those photos, it did but they aren't like normal pictures you take with the camera: you can't delete them.
That is correct. The iPod handles synced photos different than phtos taken by or saved to the iPod
Will all the photos sync eventually? "it will take a little while."
Only those photos in the PhotoStream Folder less than 30 old will sync to the iPod via wifi. However, 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.

IPod photo stream sync with iPhoto

Hi,
I just synced my iPod photo stream to iPhoto on my laptop, but now I've decided I don't want to have my iPod photos on my laptop, is there a way of reversing this sync??
Thanks

Hi Ruby93,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you no longer want to see your Photo Stream photos on your Apple computer. The attached article explains how to turn on Photo Stream. Where the article explains how to enable Photo Stream, you would do the opposite by unchecking the box.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
Mac:
Go to Apple () > System Preferences > iCloud.
Select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream).
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is selected.
Open the app that you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on in that app. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
Have a great day,
Joe

Photo Stream syncing problem

Photo stream refuses to remove older photos from my iPhone. The iCloud Photo Stream service is supposed to keep photos on your devices for 30 days and then delete them. This works fine in iPhoto on my iMac, where photos duly disappear from the Photo Stream folder one monthe after they were taken. But it does not seem to work on my iPhone, older photos are just stuck there, even after they were removed from iPhoto Stream folder. Right now I have 280 photos in Photo Stream on iPhoto and some 730 in Photo Stream on the iPhone. This is not supposed to be possible. The only way to remove these "stuck photos" is to switch Photo Stream on the iPhone off and on again, foricng it download photos from iCloud anew. But this is hardly a practical solution.
The service works fine in the other sense, ie, photos taken on one device are synchronised and appear on other devices. It is just that, once added to the iPhone, photos are not removed automatically after 30 days.
Anyone having similar problems and / or an idea for a solution?

I understand that. The problem is that the photos stay put on Photo Stream on the iPhone after being removed from Photo Stream in iPhoto. Once a photo reaches it's "due date" it should be removed from iCloud and subsequently from all synchronised devices. This does not happen, it is removed from some but not others. Right now I have 243 photos on iPhoto Stream and 271 in iPhone stream. How come?

Outlook 2003 photo stream sync

I have a desktop PC running Vista and Outlook 2003. I just want to sync photos on it (I don't sync with Outlook at all).
When I try to set up iCloud on thr PC, I get an error about needing Outlook 2007/2010 and an option to cancel (no other option, eg to turn off Outlook sync).
Photos will not sync with this system even though I have successl sync with my laptop (which has Outlook 2010 but, again, I don't sync with outlook on there either). So it is not a problem with my iPod or the cloud, it is this PC only.
I have seen other similar reports on the net but no solutions. This seems like a bug to me - is there a process for bug reports?

It should work fine.
Did you get errors in the sync? Can you look at the sync log and see?
I assume you were well able to configure the BB to sync with Outlook, it just didn't?
Details?

Is there any way to have photo stream to sync to my pictures folder like it did before installing iLife 11?

Hi,
Before installing iLife 11, my photo stream synced to the (Finder)Pictures- Photo Stream - which I very much liked.
Now I have installed iLife 11, iPhoto has taken over and the photos syncthere, not in the original Photo Stream folder.
Is there any way for me to revert syncing to the pictures folder ratherthan with iPhoto?
2 reasons why:
1 - I have to copy the photos out of iPhoto which is annoying, there’sno point in having a auto sync if I have to copy out of iPhoto, I might aswell becopying off my phone.
2 - photos only sync when iPhoto is open so I have to wait for them todownload whereas before they synced as I took them and when I got in, they were'just there' and now I have to wait.
If anyone can suggest a solution for me that would be great, I don’twant to remove iPhoto from my system so that’s not an option.
If there isn’t a solution, what’s Apple playing at? Surely this isfrustrating for users other than me?
Thanks in advance.

Why did Photo stream not sync in iCloud

Why didn't photo stream sync with iCloud on? I turned it on for both devices.

Photo stream only adds photos taken on your device after turning it on. Earlier photos aren't added. New photos are added when the camera is closed, the device is connected to wifi and it has at least 20% battery life remaining. Both devices also have to be sharing the same iCloud account to receive photos from your photo stream. (If they aren't sharing the same iCloud account you would have to create a shared photo stream album and share this with your other device. This article discusses how to do this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.)
Try taking a new photo on one of your devices, close the camera app, then be sure you are connected to wifi. Then see if it streams to your other device (assuming it is signed into the same iCloud account).

IPhoto 11 on MacPro is not syncing to photo stream. Why?

I have a MacPro with iPhoto 11 and I have made no recent changes, and it is set up to synch automatically. No problems until recently, lately it just won't synch to photo stream, and in the right top corner of iPhoto it says that it is uploading x number of pictures. My phone is synching pics fine, only problem is with iPhoto 11 on the Mac. Any fixes known? Do I need to reset? Thanks for any help, really appreciate the community.

Try Resetting your Photo Stream
Keep in mind Photo Stream syncs up to 1000 of the latest photos > New photos on all your devices.

Photo stream appearing on iPad2 once in a while

My icloud and photo stream sync perfectly on my iPhone 4 and my PC. My iPad 2 is properly syncing my calendar and contacts from the same icloud account. But, with the same account info and everything in my settings turned on to sync, my iPad photo stream now says "No Photos". It has worked intermittently during the first month I had the iPad. Now it just shows "No Photos". I have shot iphone pictures everyday lately, and nothing shows up on my Ipad2 What might I be missing?

Okay...I'm back. The problem still exists, and rebooting rarely helps. As I said above, photo steam works on my PC and on my iPhone 4, but rarely works on my iPad 2. Sometimes my photos appear, but more often I get the "no photos" screen. I am open to helpful suggestions...

How do I get all of my photos from my photo stream to upload to my MacBook Pro?

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro only about half of the photos on my photo stream sync into iPhoto. How do I get the photos that don't sync to sync onto the computer?

http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-access-your-icloud-photo-stream-fr om-your-mac/
Before you can access your Photo Stream on your Mac, you’ll need to have it turned on through your iOS device. Once you do, each photo will be automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream, and remain there for 30 days (or until you’ve reached the 1,000-picture limit, at which point the oldest ones will be replaced with newer photos).
To enable Photo Stream on your iOS device, navigate to the main settings panel and select the iCloud option. Then, tap Photos near the top of the resulting menu and toggle on the My Photo Stream option in the middle to enable the feature.
Access My Photo Stream using iPhoto
The absolute simplest way to access your Photo Stream photos is through Apple’s iPhoto. The exact process may vary depending on which version of iPhoto you’re currently running, but the directions below should still work with most incarnations of the native software.
Step 1: Launch iPhoto as you would normally, click iPhoto in the left corner of the application taskbar, and select Preferences from the resulting drop-down menu. Afterward, navigate to the iCloud tab within navigation bar and check the box directly left of My Photo Stream.
Step 2: Click iCloud in the Source List located on the left side of the application window and select the Use iCloud option. Doing so will allow any new photos that you import into iPhoto to be uploaded to iCloud and added to My Photo Stream. Moreover, any photos added to My Photo Stream via your iOS device will automatically be imported into your iPhoto library. Keep in mind disabling Photo Stream on iPhoto will automatically remove access to these photos through iPhoto — though, you can re-add your Photo Stream at anytime.
Access My Photo Stream using a saved Smart Folder
If you’re not a fan of iPhoto, fear not: There is another, slightly more complicated (but still totally easy), way to access your Photo Stream from your Mac.
Step 1: Open Finder.
Step 2: Click “command,” “shift,” and “G” (⌘⇧G) all at the same time, which will bring up the “Go to folder” option in Finder.
Step 3: Paste the following text into the “Go to folder” field: ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub. Hit “Enter.
Step 4: Click “command” and “F” (⌘F) together to bring up a new search interface.
Step 5: At the top-left of the window, you should see two options after the word “Search”: “This Mac” and “sub.” Click “sub” to highlight it.
Step 6: Underneath that line, you’ll see the word “Kind.” Leave that be. But in the next drop-down menu, change the type to “Image.” Another drop-down menu will appear. Change that one to “JPEG.” Now all your Photo Stream images will show up in the window. (There will probably be some other pictures in there as well. You can tell Photo Stream images because they will have a green check mark on the thumbnail.)
Step 7: Finally, click the “Save” button on the right side, and name the Smart Folder whatever you like. (We’d go with “Photo Stream,” for simplicity’s sake.) Leave the “Add to sidebar” box checked for easy access in the Finder window. And you’re done!

Getting photos back from iCloud Photo Stream

I just thought I would put this here as a way to fix at least one issue with iCloud Photo Stream. This was on my iPhone 4.
My kid plugged my iPhone into my wife's computer. It basically put all her information and set up on to my phone. I finally got it all set back up, but none of my photos or videos from photo stream were showing up on my phone. Everything else came back over, mail and contacts, but the photos did not show up. Usage showed that 2.5 out of my 5G still being used so it looked like they are there somewhere, they just wouldn't sync.
This is how I fixed it. At least somewhat. As of this time my videos have not come back yet, but they were rather large and it may take a while. I will try to update later as to whether they come back or not. All the photos are back.
> I made sure that iCloud backup was ON, on the iPhone.
> Turned off Photo Stream sync. This warns you that it will "Delete all photos on your phone". Make sure you dont have anything you care about on the phone currently. If you do, I would backup and then come back. Click Delete.
> Turned Photo Stream back on.
> Restart iPhone and plug in so it will be charging and make sure you have a wifi connection.
It may be that you should restart the phone before turning Photo Stream back on, but I actually turned it back on and then restarted. Anyways, this fixed this particular issue I had. Follow at your own risk .
I still think its ridiculous that you cannot view photo stream photos on iCloud.com. I really can't see paying for this service with the lack of features and bugginess.

Are you sure about the videos thing? I have 2.6G used on my iCloud account. The only things being synced were Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find my iPhone. I only had 50 photos. There's no way that stuff takes 2.6G worth of storage space.
Secondly, I know all about backups. I do Apache webserver support for a very large university. But when something happens spur of the moment that you don't have control over, its very possible to lose stuff. I don't need to be quoted the manual. I was just trying to be helpful and share something that worked for me to get my photos back since there seem to be a large number of people with similar issues.
Frankly I find Apple's software to be extremely frustrating regarding iTunes and iOS. I have been in IT for 15 years and rarely have I found a software set that is so obtuse as iTunes and iOS. The error messages are NOT clear at all, the manual is equally muddy, and, for example in the case of a "Photo Stream" viewer in the iCloud.com, obvious features are COMPLETELY missing. I cannot imaging actually paying for iCloud with the lack of features it currently has. For as much money and time Apple spends on researching device user friendlyness, I do not understand why their software is so UNuserfriendly. I am NOT the only one with this opinion.
