Photostream folder help

I enabled photostream on iCloud on my computer, and I enabled photostream on my iPhone 4s device. Now on the iPhone in pictures it has the regular camera roll album and photostream album. Is there anyway to hide the photostream album without turning the feature off. I find two folders with the same exact picture confusing and unessesary.

Anyone?

    I have signed out then back into the cloud.  I have comfirmed location of the photostream folder.  I have have even restored settings on my phone.  any ideas on what I can do to get it working again?  or do I have to accept defect, and manually save my photos?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

  • I can't delete shared photostream folder

    I have several shared photostream folders and have used this feature a lot.  However, one of my folders appears to have a glitch.  I cannot delete from either my computer or iPhone.  I am not sure what caused it.  I am listed as the photostream folder owner, I can change the name of the photostream, and can even add and remove photos from it.  I just CAN'T DELETE IT!!  Help.

    I forgot to mention I also tried to rename the iTunes folder, which worked, but then it created a new iTunes folder and my son's music came up again.

    How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
    If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

  • Why are photostream photos on phone not going into photostream folder on PC?

    I have an Iphone 4s. I am a new user.  I have 518 photos in my photostream (PS) according to my phone. I have chosen the appropriate settings - like my photostream is on under the iCloud setting and wifi automatically connects when it's in range.  Also under iCloud settings and Storage & Backup, iCloud Backup is on and I told it to backup (with it plugged in and locked as instructed). I installed the iCloud control panel on my PC-Windows Vista this evening for the first time.  Now there are about 35 photos in my PC's photostream folder.  I did the iCloud back up on my phone again.  Same 35 photos in the PC's folder.  Why aren't all 518 photos in the folder?  Should there be a delay?  Should I leave my phone on, my PC on, and the wifi connected all night to see what happens?  I don't get it!

    I just noticed the post has me down as running windows 7. I have a iMac running mountain lion.

  • How can I delete the Photostream folder in iOS?

    So yeah hi everyone!
    I guess the title says it. I'd like to delete the Photostream folder in iOS from my “Photos” App?
    I've already tried:
    to reset Photostream on icloud.com.
    turn off Photostream on my iOS Device.
    deleting the iCloud Account from my iOS Device.
    It didn't work work.

    This is the correct solution...
    1. Sign into iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)
    2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
    3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
    4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.
    No waiting for 30 days now!well   its gone but when i turn it on again they are bk  so  i think u have to w8 30 days

  • I accidentally deleted a Photostream folder on my mac, but it still appears on my iPad. Is there anyway I can restore in on my mac?

    I have a Photostream folder of my son, that has 3 other members, where I share photos with my family. Recently I have not been able to add any pictures to it and whilst trying to sort the problem I accidentally deleted it from iPhoto on my mac. It still appears on my iPad and I can add new pictures but they don'y show up in any of the the 3 other members photo stream. So does anyone know how I can a, restore the folder to iPhoto on my Mac and b, add pictures so that they appear in all members photosteams?
    Thanks

    Ignore it as nothing was installed on your iOS device.

  • Photostream folder disappeared in iOS 8, along with all my photos in that folder. Please help!

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 8. I only had about 20 photos stored on my phone, and about 100 photos in my Photostream. After updating to iOS 8, I cannot find any of these photos that were in my Photostream, and cannot even find that folder on my iPhone.
    Were these photos deleted?
    Thank you,
    Dan

    Open the iCloud Control Panel (Windows) or iPhoto (Mac) t get teh photos from My Photo Stream.
    Note My Photo Stream photos stay there for only 30 days.
    See this -> iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    You should regularly sync photos to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll.
    Copy the photos to your computer
    -> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    and delete them from the Camera Roll.
    You can then sync the photos you want on the iPhone back to telephone using iTunes.
    -> iTunes: Syncing photos
    (Though some of this may change in the very near future with release of iOS 8, Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iCloud upgrades).

    Hello iMuppet2, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your PC is not recognizing your iPhone 4s as a camera when you connect it. 
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the "Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8" section of this article helpful with getting your PC to recognize the iPhone:

  • How can I move some files (but not all) in the photostream folder on my PC to another folder on the PC?

    I have photostream set up on my PC and all photos in both mine and shared photostreams are successfully being synced to my PC automatically. However, my goal is to navigate to the photostreams on my PC and be able to move them and edit the photos with other software I have. I'd like to move more one at a time as I have 100's. This would help me better sort them as well as free up some much needed space on my iCloud account as I don't need all these photos available at all times, but also don't want to lose them. Is there a way that I can do this? I really appreciate any help I can get.

    Your my photo stream folder should operate the same way other folders do.  First go to the iCloud control panel for Windows and click Options next to Photo Stream.  Here, note you photo steam location (listed at the bottom).  Navigate to the photo stream folder at that location, then open the my photo stream folder inside.  Right-click on the my photo stream folder, select copy, navigate to a location of your choice, then right-click and select paste.  Click on the copied folder, press your F2 key and rename it something like Photo Stream Backup.  Then you should be all set.

  • TS3989 Windows 7 Photostream folder issues

    For some reason a month back my folder quit populating with the photos take on my iPhone 4s.
    I've reset Photostream system and double checked with all support literature regarding this to no avail.
    I do have two Apple ID's that merged on my phone by reinstalling apps from itunes since I upgraded from the iPhone 4. The timing did not conincide with anything about that issue - as it was that way from the start. This photstream problem began a month ago. I go the phone 5 months ago and the photostream worked great.
    is that possibly the problem?

    I have resolved the Unknown Device problem. After a lot of searching on Google, I found the exact driver I needed:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG
    It is listed at, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70443 but installing it before didn't fix the problem. Some how it got fixed when I tried it again.
    ISSUE #2: SOLVED.
    Would appreciate some help on #1 and #3 especially from someone that works at Lenovo.

    Open up terminal and type
    " sudo rm -rf downloads/ " provided you have nothing inside the downloads folder, not even empty folders
    you will then have to hit enter, and then your password, and hit enter again
    that will remove the downloads directory

  • HT201317 The pictures in my photostream folder on my computer are being deleted when the pictures are deleted from photostream on individual devices.  The photos on the computer were supposed to be permanent.  Can I stop photostream from deleting from my

    The original photstream instructions, and the current photostream information page on the apple website, say that photos on your pc or mac computer that have been synced by photostream are permanent but the latest updatge seems to have changed that so when items are deleted from any device they are deleted from all devices, including images that have gotten older and have rolled out of photostream on my iphone.  I trusted photostream to save these images on my computer and now they appear to be gone.  Can I turn off the option of deleting photostream images from my computer or do I need to copy these images to another folder to save them from being deleted when they are deleted from the device.

    so say I take a picture with my phone. that picture is now located in my camera roll and uploads to my iclouds photostream, which I can then view on my computer. now my question is this: is the photos in my stream, on my comp permanent, allowing me to then delete them from my phones camera roll?
    No
    Photostream keeps them for 30 days.
