Photostream.....is different on Iphone and Ipad.

i have the IOS7 update installed....looking at my Iphone 5 - I have 900  photos on my Photostream.....however, suddenly I only have 96 photos in the Photostream on my Ipad.  One more thing, I have purchased additional Icloud storage.  I know that all the photos were in my Ipad Photostream before.
Thanks.

When you take a photo on a device that has photo stream turned on, that photo is added to the local photo stream group and uploads to icloud's servers, which then download the pics to other devices where they are also stored in their photo stream group.  After 30 days, the photo is deleted from the server, but not the devices.  (No more than 1000 pics are accepted, after which old ones are delete to make room for new ones.)
If, however, you turn off photo stream on one device, the photos in the photo stream group will be deleted.  If you later turn it back on, then only photos on the server will download to the group.  Pictures that were deleted from the server due to the 30 day rule will no longer be available.
It is advised that whenever you have photos appearing in the photo stream group, you move them to a permanent album if you wish to save them.
In short, photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device/computer to another - never treat it as some kind of permanent storage service; it isn't.

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • TS1702 reminder date different on iphone and ipad

    I am using Reminders. i have them set up to sync wirelessly with my corporate exchange server.
    The due date for a task is different on my iphone and ipad. Why is this/

    Greetings Zack,
    When all the devices and the data on them are behaving, they should all match.  Since you indicate the information is not the same, that would suggest there is a break in the chain of communication.
    Before doing any troubleshooting, backup your data:
    Backup your iPhone/iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
    Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
    If you login to www.me.com/calendar and view your calendars on the MM website, is it correct and the most up to date?
    If so:
    1.) Ensure all your iOS devices are completely up to date with their software by plugging them into your computer and hitting update in iTunes.
    2.) Turn all the devices off and then back on.
    3.) If data is not consistent at this point it would be cleanest to disconnect all the devices from MobileMe and then re-connect them. 
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, > Your MobileMe account > "Delete Account"
    4.) Once the account has been deleted from all the devices and you've deleted the data off the devices, re-add your MobileMe account to each device one at a time.  This will prompt each device to download a fresh copy of your data from MobileMe and re-establish their connection.
    Hope that helps.

  • I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from iphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from inphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    Other than a couple of minor adjustments, such as the one that Diavonex suggested above, there is nothing that a user can do in settings to adjust color. There is no way to calibrate the color like you can do with a computer monitor.

  • Just noticed - Apple ID's different on iPhone and iPad

    Hi everyone, I downloaded an app on my iPhone and noticed it wasn't available for download on my iPad.  When I checked, both devices were running different Apple ID's.  I want to share my apps across all my Apple devices, how can I rectify this - ideally I would like to merge both ID's into one but I have read this isn't possible?
    Thanks for reading

    I don't think there is any way to merge them and all apps are tied to the ID with which they were purchased.  I think you should choose one ID (probably the one with the most attached apps) and always use it in the future.  You may have to repurchase some apps for the other device.

  • Music library sorts differently on iPhone and iPad

    Odd issue... My music library sorts differently on my iPad and iPhone music app despite having identical setting (ie. sort by album artist toggled off)
    Album View... On my iPhone, the first album is A-Sides by Soundgarden.  On the iPad, the first album is Hunting High and Low by A-Ha.  iPhone sorts by album, iPad by artist in this view.
    Artist View.... Both devices list A-Ha first, as well as a compilation album they appear on.  The iPhone displays Take on Me by A-Ha as the only track on this album.  The iPad shows Take on Me first, but then displays the 19 other tracks on this album, all by other artists.
    Any insights?  Thanks!

    Sadly this is a bug that I have been able to relicate on 3 different devices, and that has NOT been fixed by 7.1.2
    To replicate, you need an "oldish" device (iPhone 4 & 4S, iPad 2 & Mini), and an iTunes match subscription with quite a few songs.
    Start from a clean slate:
    - Switch off iTunes match (settings / apps store or music)
    - Kill all apps
    - Reboot
    - Reset (home +power until apple appears)
    Check available space on settings / general / about
    Then:
    - Activate iTunes match
    - Play some non locally stored music
    - Wait
    Yesterday, it took 1h for my iPad mini with 5.3GB available to show the "storage almost full" message and 0 bytes available
    Note that I have tried with a full reset and it does not change anything.
    To solve the problem:
    - Switch off iTunes match
    - Reset
    The memory is now back (but I cannot use iTunes match)

  • ICal events different on iPhone and iPad

    why are the events on my single MobileMe account different or missing from my iphone4, to my wife's iPhone 3GS, and to the iPad2?  I would think according to the sync from MobileMe that it should be standard across the board.

  • Audio content is different on iPhone and iPad

    There are about 2 gbs of files that don't make it into my ipad but do make it into my iPhone, although the settings appear to be the same.
    Can I fix?

  • Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2, can i use both chargers in the iPhone and iPad, they have different amperage...

    I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2, can i use both chargers in the iPhone and iPad, they have different amperage...

    You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

  • I have a related but different problem... I prefer that the photos/events on my iPhone and iPad be in "date created" order. Does anyone know if this is possible? Apple...please give us some options.

    I have a related but different problem... I prefer that the photos/events on my iPhone and iPad be in "date created" order. Does anyone know if this is possible? Apple...please give us some options!!!

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • Photostream not working on desktop mac but works with iPhone and iPad is it a setting that is wrong?

    My photos are not being updated through photostream on my mac computer, but are syncing on my iphone and ipad. Does anyone have any ideas as to what settings could be wrong? 

    What system are you running on your desktop Mac?  Photo Stream requires a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later.  So if your profile is correct you'll need to download and apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) updater. 
    If you're not running 9.2.2 or later do the same for iPhoto, download and apply the updater required to get you to 9.2.2 or later.

  • Syncing Different Apps to iPhone and IPad

    I sync both my iPhone and iPad through iTunes on my desktop. The way they sync is that iPad apps only go to the iPad, but iPhone apps go to both. I would like to sync iPad apps to the iPad and some, but not all, iPhone apps. Is there a way to sync different apps to each device?
    Thanks

    It sounds like you activate/synced your iPad on another computer already. An iPad (and other devices) can only be synced to one computer. Therefore, if you since to your computer you will lose all your apps, and more importantly, all the information associated with those apps. You can get the apps back by just re-downloading them. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account you used the first time.

    I have a question. I just got a new ipad. However, I have had an itouch for a long time and have many itouch apps in my itunes library.
    I just connected the ipad for the first time since I started downloading apps on it. I see the ipad picture to the right. If I check "Sync applications", it says "all existing apps and their data on the ipad will be replaced with apps from this library". Does this mean I will lose the ipad specific apps I just bought/downloaded directly from the app store to my ipad?
    I know you can use itouch apps on the ipad, but I am afraid this first sync will cause me to lose stuff.
    help!!
    thanks.

  • I've different contact info and mail addresses on pc(windows xp), iPhone and iPad, gmail. What is synchronized where, in which direction? Which unit will have to be correct before syncing?

    I've different contact info and mail addresses on my pc (windows xp), iPhone  and iPad, using gmail. I get different results when synchronizing with iTunes.
    What is synchronized where, and in which direction? Which unit will have to be correct before syncing?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • Does anyone know if I can transfer apps between my 2 apple ids? I have different ids for my iPhone and iPad?

    Does anyone know if I can transfer apps between my 2 apple ids? I have different ids for my iPhone and iPad?

    You can't, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't merge accounts nor transfer content between them.
