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.

  • ICloud My Photo Stream Folder empty on Vista PC, uploads working fine

    Tried everything.
    Pictures I place in the Vista "Uploads" folder appear on the iPad 2 Photo Stream folder via iCloud but when I take a picture
    on the iPad 2 they never appear in the corresponding Vista "My Photo Stream" folder.
    Noticed after installing the Vista applet on the PC only the "Uploads" folder was created automatically, had to create the "My Photo Stream"
    folder manually. Again tried everything multiple times, logging out...re-starting....

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

  • Photos are not showing anymore in Photo Stream folder even though they are there.

    A couple of days ago my Photo Stream folder in iPhoto was suddenly empty. I checked and Photo Stream is switched on. I disabled it and switched it back on. Now You can see that Photo Stream is importing the images but when iPhoto is done, there are no photos in the folder. When taking a pic with my Mac it uploads as well into Photo Stream and shows up on my iPhone but in iPhoto Photo Stream still nothing.
    I tried manually adding pics but it tells me they are already there. Very strange.
    I also know that Photo Stream itself is working because it works to use Photo Stream as a screen saver and there all the pics show. So it must be a problem with iPhoto. I also did all the repair options for the Media Library that you can do when starting iPhoto. Nothing has changed the situation.
    Anyone any suggestions?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • How come when you delete a photo in photo stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the photo stream (iPhone)?

    If you upload a photo in the 'Photo Stream Uploads' folder (PC), it is automatically imported to iPhone (via Wi-Fi). How come when you delete a photo from the Photo Stream folder (PC), it is not deleted in the Photo Stream (iPhone)?? I mean doesn't iCloud automatically update the changes? thanks.

    You cannot delete photos from the photo stream.  You can only log into icloud and in your account, you can delete photo stream and start fresh.  It is rumored that the next upgrade to iOS will allow deletions of single photos from the stream, but not yet.

  • I copied the photos from my photo stream folder to a new folder on my macbook pro. I then deleted the phots in my photo stream folder. It erased them from the other folder as well. Why? Where did they go? Can I get them back? Please help. Thanks.

    Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.

    You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
    Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
    Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
    Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
    Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
    Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app.

  • How do I delete a 2 photo stream folder from my Iphone 4 device

    I followe the instructions on resetting my photo stream. It deleted all the pics from one Photo Stream Folder but not the other. I dont even know how I got 2 photo stream folders. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the pics in the second folder and or how to completely delete the 2nd photo stream folder.  Please help.... Thanks all...

    Depends on which photos.
    Camera Roll pics ( taken with the iphone) can be deleted one at a time from the iphone, or when you import them to your computer as with any digital camera.
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are deleted the sam way - the sync process.  Open itunes, select what you want on your iphone, sync.

    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

    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,

  • If I delete photos from my iPhone photos and photo stream, and they are not in the 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, do they go to the Recycle Bin on my PC, or disappear altogether?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been covered before.
    I deleted some photos from both 'Photos' and 'Photo Stream' using my iPhone. They are not in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, but do they go to the Recycle Bin or just disappear altogehter?
    Thanks.

    I am afraid not.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool and not a backup solution.
    If you change the Photo Stream on one device it pushes those changes to all devices.

  • Cannot access photos in photo stream folder

    PS Touch on my iPad iOS 8.2 cannot access photos in the photo stream folder.  They appear as blank boxes.  Why?  The photo stream folder contains photos that are shared across devices.  The photo stream folder appears in the app but when opened blank boxes appear where the photos should be.  After doing a search, I see this has been an ongoing problem for other users & uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the issue.  The workaround is to copy the photos into Camera Roll then import them from there.  Does Adobe plan to address this issue in a future update?

  • Thumbnails not appearing in My Photo Stream folder

    When I open the "My Photo Stream" folder the pictures do not appear, just black squares with the titles or Image numbers.  If I click on the back square the photo appears.  Please tell me how I can get the thumbnail pictures back in "My Photo Stream."  Thank you. I am using iPhoto 9.5.1

    Try to rebuild the thumbnails for your iPhoto Library.
    Launch iPhoto with options-command keys held down. Keep holding down the keys firmly, until you are seeing the First Aid Panel.  Select "Rebuild Thumbnails". 

  • No photos in the photo stream folder

    I don't see any photos on my iPad 2 in the Photo stream folder after I have started to photo app several times. When I disable the photo stream function, restart the iPad and activate photo stream again It works. But only for a moment until I change to another subject like place, face etc. I have no problems with Photo stream on my iPhone, ATV or Mac Mini. Any suggestions?

  • TS3989 My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7).  What can I do?

    My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7).  What can I do?

    At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further.  As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them.  Just make sure first that they are in your photo software.  If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
    At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway.  So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.
