Why do my phone's photos not get uploaded to icloud drive automatically?

For e.g when i used windows phone, the moment i took a photo it used to get uploaded to skydrive and i could see it on my PC.
Apple doesn't have a similar service?

Hello nealfromshanghai,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This feature is called Photo Stream on your iOS device, as well as with the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows PC. To learn more about this feature please read the article linked to below.

Moved iPhoto to external HD now photos won't upload to Photo Stream

I moved iPhoto to an external HD connected to my iMac and now Photo Stream says it is uploading photos but nothing is happening.
After moving iPhoto (and selecting the new location as the default by holding down the Option key when opening the app) I added some photos by dragging them from Finder to iPhoto Library Photos. I then dragged them from Library Photos to Photo Stream and all appeared to be fine. However after an 2 hours it still says "Uploading 140 photos" but no photos are moving to the Photo Stream folder.
Any help would be appreciated!

Quit out of iPhoto, relaunch and try again. Also the following may help:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. See if that willjump start the upload to Photo Stream.

*sometimes* photos won't upload to photo stream

Ever since updating to iOS 6 I've been having problems with photo stream.
Sometimes I take a photo on my iphone 4s - it appears in my camera roll - but it doesn't upload to photo stream, even though I am fully connected to wi-fi.
Then I take another photo, and all of a sudden that second photo uploads to photo stream, but the first one still doesn't.
Sometimes I'll be out and about taking dozens of photos. When I return home and connect to wi-fi my photos don't upload to my photo stream. Other times they do.
It's very temperamental and difficult to figure out why.
I have photostream turned on in icloud. I have recently restored my iphone to factory settings in an attempt to resolve the issue, but to no avail. When I experience these problems there's never an issue with internet connection - browsing on safari works perfectly well.
Any thoughts? Does anyone have the same problems?

Thanks JBJ612. I'm the same. If I go to my friends house and connect to his wi-fi my photos upload normally.
I've tried resetting my wi-fi. I've tried renewing the wi-fi lease on my iPad, and I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting, but nothing works.
It must be an iOS problem. I hope apple fixes this soon.

Where do photos go once uploaded to Photos?

In the old (and far superior) iPhoto, when photos were added I was given the option to put them into a named event and if I didn't they were put into an event named with the date taken. Now it seems that they only go into "last import" ....... Seems pretty dumb. How do I get my photos to be automatically put into an event when I upload them!?

Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options and to replace any desired features that were left out of Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

How does photo metadata get uploaded to shared Photo Stream along with the photos?

Performed upgrade to Mountain Lion so I could share Photo Streams with other people,. Trouble is all the naming, descriptions, locations of the photos do not show up in Photo Stream. Is there a way to enable this or is it just not possible?
I am migrating from sharing Picasa Web Albums to Photo Stream and would like to have all the metadata along with the photos...
I was not sure where to post this question as it is related to iCloud, iPhoto, OS X Mountain Lion, etc. The shared Photo Stream feature appeared in my version of iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2) only after the upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Photo Stream only uses the file names and what you're changing is the Title, not file name. To get the title to be the file hame you have to export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option to use the title as the new file name.

Photos won't upload to photo stream folder on PC

When I updated to the new iOS7 my photo stream stopped uploading directly to my PC. Same phone, same iCloud settings, they just don't update. What's the deal?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
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.
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.

Some photos won't upload to Photo Share albums

I have just started to use photo sharing from my Macbook to my iPhone (previously had been using it iPhone to iPhone only). I am trying to sync photos in Aperture (not all, just a select few) - with my iPhone.
I have created a photo share for myself only (I don't want to use photo stream because I don't want ALL my photos syncing on a regular basis)
The permissions have all be adjusted to allow photosharing both in Aperture and on my iPhone 4
I have 47 photos in an album called IPHONE in Aperture
I selected all the photos and dragged them to Icloud
It asked me if I wanted to put them in my Photo Share album named APERTURE
and I clicked ok.
Even after waiting for over an hour - I am only getting 3 photos into my photoshare album.
Alternatively -
when I "sync" my iPhone using itunes
I tell iTunes that I want to use photos from Aperture
I select the checkbox beside the IPHONE Album I created with 47 photos in it (but it says there are only 23 photos in the album)
I run the sync
and only 23 photos are transferring to my iPhone.
Why isn't it recognizing some of my photos? I know there are specifications for photosharing, but a straight upload/sync in iTunes should allow all photos to upload?

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.

HT201317 I am trying to upload photos from my Windows 7 machine, and I was told to drag them into the photo stream in the iCloud control panel. I have downloaded the control panel several times, but cannot find the place to upload the photos from my Windo

I am trying to upload photos from my Windows 7 desktop, and was told to go to the iCloud control panel and drag the photos into the

If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

Uploading retouched photos in photostream

When I retouch my photos in snapseed and save them to my camera roll as a new photo they get uploaded in photostream. But they don't get uploaded after the last uploaded photo but in next to the original photo. Is there any way to change that?

Hi Winston,
You won't be able to see much in a screenshot, it would just look like a bunch of photos next to each other. What is the behaviour in iPhoto for instance? When you are done editing a photo, If you save it, would it appear next to the original phito in photostream or next to the last photo that you have uploaded?
It is quite annoying because it is hard to find the right photo in photostream as sometimes the edited photo and the original one are so similar! I did assume that photo stream would upload the photos in a chronological order, but It seems that it recognised the same photos and put them next to each other.

Photo Stream photos not showing up in Photos Collections

I've noticed on my iPhone 5s, many photos from Photo Stream are not appearing in the "Photos" tab where I can view photos by year, collections, moments, etc. I have many Photo Stream photos appearing, but it is sporadic.
On my iPad, all Photo Stream photos appear in the Photos tab just fine.
I've attached a screen shot from each of my devices as an example. Both devices are pulling from the same Photo Stream, so theoretically, they should be showing the same photos. My iPad shows 10 photos. My iPhone shows 2 (shows 3 in the screen grab because one is a video).
How can I force the Photos tab to update to reflect all the photos in my Photo Stream?

I FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE. But no resolution.
It appears that my iPhone 5s's Photos tab only shows Photo Stream photos of photos RECEIVED from other devices, but not Photo Stream photos of photos that ORIGINATED on my iPhone. Does this make sense? Here's an example:
1) Take Photo A on iPhone
2) Take Photo B on iPad
3) Allow Photo A and Photo B to upload to Photo Stream
4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo A from the iPhone.
7) Photo A is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPhone, but is still viewable in iPhone Photo Stream
THUS = Photos tab is not accessing Photo Stream
I can replicate this on my iPad
4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo B from the iPad.
7) Photo B is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPad, but is still viewable in iPad Photo Stream
This appears to be some way to prevent duplications on your local device. Apple doesn't want you to see the Photo Stream copy and the Camera Roll copy BOTH in the Photos tab. However, if you delete the Camera Roll copy, the Photo Stream copy DOES NOT appear in the Photos tab. This is dumb because I delete the Camera Roll copy as soon as it finishes uploading to Photo Stream. There is no reason to keep both copies on your iOS device. However, now I can't enjoy the Photo Stream photos in the Photos tab.

Since iCloud Photo Library will not allow photos from iTunes iphoto to be up loaded ---how do I upload my photos to iCloud Photo Library?

I Have a 5s iPhone updated to 8.1---- have installed iCloud Photo Library---- will only upload 4oo of 21,000 photos--- will not upload any photos from iTunes. Since all 21,000 are in iPhoto's iTunes how do I get them to the icloud photo library. As you know enabling iCloud Photo Library deletes all iTunes photos from the iPhone 5s. Any ideas?

I Figured it out----- you can't upload iTunes iphotos to iCloud Photo Library from an iPhone! Can't be done. Must have a Mac to do it--- and it better not be an old one. Thanks apple!

Using iOS6 to upload my photos to Facebook. Photos don't show up on my wall.

Hi there,
I'm having problems using the iOS 6.1 to post photos on Facebook. Normally what I would do is select a photo from my camera roll and post that photo on my FB wall through the iOS "share" feature.
Lately, this hasn't been working for me. The photos do get uploaded, but they appear in the iOS photo album and not on my wall.
Would you guys know how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

I believe that is how it works now, if the new FB update.
Any question you have re: facebook, you should take it up with the developer or look at their support site.
This has nothing to do with Apple or the iphone itself.

Cant see friends photo's on my Shared photo stream?

I will try to explain this as good as i can
Basically today i have set up a 'shared photo stream' and i added my Girlfriend to it. She got the email and officially subscribed to the photo stream. When i upload a photo to that stream, only i can see that photo and she can't. it also happens the other way around? she uploaded 2 photo's and i have not got them on the shared photo stream? is it a matter of waiting and theyll eventually load on eachothers devices or is this a bug with the latest IOS 7?
Ive already tried:
Rebooting my iPhone 5
looking on my MacBook Pro (and rebooting it)
Turning off the icloud shared stream feature and re activating it
just to point out again i CAN see MY own photos i upload to the stream, but i cannot see my girlfriends photos she has uploaded onto our stream. and same the other way around. She can see her photos but she cannot see mine
I have already looked on troubleshooting and there is nothing linked with my problem?
Just to clarify SHE has the latest updatde ISO 7.1.1 but she does have the iPhone 4... whereas i have an iphone 5....
Can someone please help me? :/

Camera Roll Photos are saved in your iCloud backup. Photo Stream photos live in iCloud but do not take up Backup space.
However, if you value your photos, you should back them up to your computer, and then back those up to an external hard disk. iCloud backups are overlaid with newer backups every time you do one, and Photo Stream photos will hold only a total of 1000 photos or a month's worth of photos, whichever comes first.
Cheers,
