Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
Have a great day,
Joe

  • Messages Not Syncing across devices with iOS 8

    Hi all,
    Since December 2014 and an update at that time my iMessages stopped syncing correctly.
    Some messages sync some don't.
    I send from my iPhone5c and it doesn't show up on my iPadAir.
    Reply will go to my iPadAir  and not to my iPhone5c
    If one of my devices is off then no messages will go to it and it won't sync once turned back on.
    I have done the: turn off iMessages, quit program, turn off devices. Restart and turn on iMessages again on devices. This hasn't fixed the issue.
    My number and emails are all correct on devices. I am logged in on devices. They just adhocly sync.
    Any other ideas?

    They are received normally for me and everyone I know using 8.3.  Are you using WiFi or cellular data? Has these devices ever been hacked/jailbroken, at any time?
    If not, try these steps as needed:
    Reset: press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Restore to factory settings using iTunes, also restoring a backup
    Restore to factory settings as new, without using a backup
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • After downloading maverick, iCloud will not sync across my devices

    Since downloading Maverick [10.9], iCloud will not sync across my devices. Mail is not working properly. I'm being asked for passwords from everything.
    Also, every time I close and then reopen Mail, I get a message saying "Mail cannot connect to the iCloud account "iCloud", requiring my password, again!
    Is there a solution to this? How can I find out if it's server related, etc.?
    Thanks to anyone out there that can help!

    Try restarting your router and all the other devices.
    Not updated as it is currently unavailable.

  • Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

    So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    any body?

  • After updating iphone 3gs to ios 5 music and photos will not sync

    updated to IOS 5 and now the phone will not sync music and photos, updated itunes, phone shows "no content"

    Did you restore your iPad to a computer other than the one you set up your iPad with?

  • Photos will not sync to iPhoto

    Photos that I take with my iPhone appear fine on the phone, but will not sync (unreadable file) or are corrupt (blackout or whiteout stripes or funky neon colors). I read another post that asked about other items plugged into the USB port, but all I have is a wireless Apple mouse that uses a DLINK bluetooth adapter in the USB port next to the one my iPhone is using. This is the second consecutive set of photos I cannot download, so it is not the photos themselves, but something else.

    Ziggy,
    Just so you know, iPhone's email shrinks the images to 640 x 480 for sending. The only way to get a full quality image off your camera is by syncing so you need to get that problem resolved. Do you have your iPhone connected by a USB hub or are there any other USB devices connected to your computer? It's been reported that these can garble photos. Make sure your iPhone is plugged directly to the computer USB port and nothing else is connected. Also sometimes scanner software can be trying to access a USB port even when not plugged in.

  • When syncing iphone 5 to macbook pro, photos will not sync

    when i connect my phone to my computer I get a pop up saying my camera cannot be found. what can i do to fix this? none if my photos are backed up on my comupter.
    Also, when i plug in headphones to my phone, i can only hear music in one ear bud. i have tried multiple different headphone/earbud sets and brands, still get the same malfunction.

    Also, I've tried syncing with iTunes Wi-Fi Sync but the latest music I have put on the MacBook Air will not transfer across.  I can't figure it out.  I hope someone can assist.

  • Photos will not sync on iTunes 11

    Plugging in the latest iPad with the latest iTunes, select the folder of new photos I want on my iPad and hey presto, nothing.
    ITunes does freeze quit a bit and says that it has performed the sync, but nothing on the iPad.  ITunes 10 did this with no problems, since the update to 11 I can't sync photos using a 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The other annoying thing is that it gets into iTunes screen and there is no icon to get into the iPad.  The userbility of iTunes 11 is awfull and not Mac typical at all.  What moron allowed this rubbish to be released?  iTunes 11 is as buggy as **** with userbility issues.

    You may find the following steps make iTunes 11 more bearable
    1) Ctrl + B to turn on the top menu
    2) View > Show Sidebar to turn on left panel showing Library, Devices, Playlists etc
    3) View > Show Status Bar to see song info at the bottom in grey bar
    4) Click on arrow in Search Box and untick Search Entire Library -  this will increase performance and revert Search to the way it worked in iTunes 10
    Photos do not sync to PC via itunes instead your Photo Application, Elements or whatever should fire up and import them. Do you need to check your import seetings in whatever app you use?

  • Photos will not sync to iphone5

    Just got my new iphone5 today. When I first sync'd it my photos transfered fine but now no matter what I do it will not sync photos, it always comes up with the error 'not enough memory'. Everything else syncs fine to my phone, even a 2GB game. I even tried deleteing everything and resetting my phone and even when it was completely blank and reset it would not sync photos.

  • Collections do not sync across devices - bookmarks do ???

    Hello.  I am trying to sync my books & PDF's between my iPhone 4S & iPad2.  Both are running iOS 5.0.1 and all apps are up to date.  Both have "sync bookmarks", "sync collections", & "online audio & vidoe" checked.  I am using iCloud and both devices are backed up nightly....
    I have manually pulled books and PDF's to each device; what is strange is that when I bookmark on one devicee (say the iPhone), the bookmark is recognized almost instantly on the other device (iPad).... BUT, when I add a book or pdf to one device, it doesn't automatically sync to the other device.....??

    Let me revise my last post - Books purchased in the library DO sync across devices; items I place in iBooks from email, etc.. do NOT sync.
