Photostream not updating

I have an iPod touch that I wirelessly connect with an EyeFi card from my camera. These photos are saved in my saved photos directory but do not update photostream. The photostream does get updated from the new photos I take with my iPhone. The touch saved photos used to update photostream but they do not anymore. Any suggestions to try and fix this? Thanks for your help!

IPhoto PhotoStream not updating since new iMac purchase

I purchased a new iMac and transferred old iMac info. PhotoStream has not updated in iPhoto since the transition. Works on iPhones/iPads, but not iPhoto. Tried turning PhotoStream off/on in both iPhoto and Settings. Did not work. Any help?
Cheers,
Scott

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

Photostream not updating on Mac Photos

Anybody else having issue with Photostream? I had two iPhoto libraries: One I was actively using, and one I've been hanging onto to merge one day. When I updated to Photos app, I read the pages on opening multiple libraries, hoping that this was finally my opportunity to merge the two. Alas, this only allowed me to successfully open each library, one at a time. When it became clear that there was going to be no way to merge the two libraries within Photo, I decided to just go back to opening my default iPhoto library with Photos and would import from the old iPhoto library manually some day in the future. My question/problem (finally, I know): It doesn't appear that new photos from my devices, since configuring Photos on Mac, are showing up in my Mac Photos photo stream. They stop on the day I installed it, and I don't see any way to force a sync. What did I do wrong? What am I missing?

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

Photostream not updating iPhoto

Photostream is enabled on my iOS devices: iPad and iPhone. The photostream updates beautifully between those two devices. I just launched iPhoto, however, and Photostream is empty. It shows a date at the top of the screen of October 31, 2011. Not sure why. Photostream is enabled within System Preferences.
Any tips on getting the Photostream in iPhoto to update?
Thank you.

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane

TS3989 Photostream not updating on windows laptop - please help!

My photostream is not automatically updating to the picture library of my windows laptop. The iCloud control panel will not allow me to click Options to check the settings (it just hangs) and I don't know how to uninstall/re-install. I have checked all the photostream / wi-fi settings are okay on my iPhone. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Try installing the windows 8.1 drivers from HP's support site, those are more likely to work.
For any issues clarify your OS version, is it 32 or 64 bit?

Photostream Not Updating On Two of Three PCs

Only one of three PC receives updates in "My Photostream" folder.
Uploads from any PC appear as expected in the My Photostream of the one PC but not the other two...neither do these uploads appear on any iPhone or iPad
All PCs configured identically.
What must I do to get photostream updates on the other two PCs?

I logged out of iCloud and back in again and restored photostream functionality. Problem solved.

Photostream not updating on PC after phone upgrade

A few months ago i upgraded from an iphone4 to an iphone 5.
I just noticed that since buying this phone none of my photos taken on the new device has synced on my photostream on my PC.
i have all the right settings selected on my phone...is it because I haven't restored factory settings on my old phone?

If new photos added to the camera roll appear in your my photo stream album, the problem is not with your phone, it's with your PC.

HT201077 After updating my iPhone4s to the lastest update my photostream stopped updated onto my comuter. From my phone it looks like pictures have been moved into the photostream folder... but they are not showing up on my computer. Help!

After updating my iPhone4s to the lastest update my photostream stopped updated onto my comuter. From my phone it looks like pictures have been moved into the photostream folder... but they are not showing up on my computer. Help!
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:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

ICloud backups and Photostream not working

My iCloud backups do not appear to be happening correctly. When I first started using iOS5, I had no problem. Both my iPad1 and iPhone4S were backing up nicely to iCloud, and Photo Stream was working correctly. I used my usual Apple ID with iCloud, and have never had a Mobile Me account.
I also have a MacBook Air, which was running Snow Leopard. I then upgraded to Lion. I'm not sure, but it may have been shortly after this that I began to have problems with iCloud (or maybe I am getting my dates mixed up). I enabled Photostream on iPhoto too, shortly after I upgraded.
On both my iPhone and iPad, when I go into Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup and check my storage details, it was showing that I had not had not backed up in some time. When I click the "back up now" button (while plugged into power and wifi on), it starts to do a manual backup, and appears to start backing up. A little bit of the blue status bar shows, and it says "estimated time remaining…." but never actually shows a time remaining, and after a while just errors saying "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later".
The odd thing is, when I hook my devices up to my MacBook, and view them in iTunes, on the "summary" tab (I have "backup to iCloud" ticked) and it DOES give a recent last backed up time. There is a disconnect between what iTunes is saying, and what the devices show. I'm really not sure if my data is getting backed up or not to iCloud! As a precaution, every so often I am switching iTunes back to backing the devices to the MacBook, so at least I am maintaining backups there. Once done, I flick back to the "backup to iCloud" setting.
Through trial and error, I have figured out that the "last backed up to iCloud" time shown in iTunes is a time I have manually tried to do a backup on the iDevice, even though the device itself does not say a backup was completed successfully. If I try to do a "sync" manually via iTunes on the MacBook, it seems to sync and transfer music/photos etc, but the "last backed time" in iTunes does not change.
Photostream has also stopped working. Although it did not stop working at the same time as the iCloud backups, it seemed to be gradual. It started by not synching all the new photos between devices, then just the occasional photo, and now nothing.
To fix the problem, I tried deleting iCloud from both my devices, and switching it off on the MacBook, for a day (including deactivating Photostream). When I went to enable it all again on all the devices, in the hope it would properly start backing up, it just reverted to the old state with the previous symptoms.
I have searched various help forums, but I have not seen anyone else report that iTunes says iCloud backups worked, but on the iOS5 devices is says they are not updating.
Suggestions? How can I get iCloud working correctly, including Photostream?
I had plans to subscribe to the iTunes Match service, but I don't want to pay the money if I am going to continue to have synch/backup issues and it causes problems with match.

I'm havnig a similar problem but just with photos. I have Photostream turned on on both my iPad and iPhone 4S but when I get to a Wifi environment and try to get the photos from my iPhone to upload onto the iPad through iCloud, nothing happens. I have both devices unlocked, I've checked both have Photostream turned on, but nothing. Any ideas?

HT4858 Is anyone else having problems with shared photo stream URLs not updating after photos are added or deleted from a shared photo stream?

I have made quite a few shared photo streams and love the idea of sharing easily with a variety of friends and family. The problem in having is that any modifications made to the shared photostream (adding/deleting pictures) are not updated in the URL I have sent to my family and friends. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

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 on your Mac.

I reinstalled iPhoto but events did not update

I reinstalled iPhoto because I didn't like the photos app. When I did, the events did not update--the last one was April 12. I downloaded my photo stream, thinking that that would get me my most current events, but I just have a mess of photos. How can I get events to recognize everything after April 12?

Details needed
1 - what exactly did you do? There is no need to reinstall iPhoto as it is no removed by the OS upgrade - you just launch it form the LaunchPad or the application s folder and use it as before
2 - what updates did you expect? If you have imported photos into the Photos application then iPhoto knows nothing about them - you have to import them to iPhoto too
3 - Nothing has changed with PhotoStream what exactly are you seeing?

Why has Photostream stopped updating on my Windows PC iCloud?

I have iCloud on my Windows PC as well as iMAC, iphone, and iPad. At end of September my photostream on my PC stopped updating and I can't seem to get it to synch. As far as I know, everything worked before. I have not updated to ios7 on any of my devices. I'm not sure what version of Photostream I am using but i did not change anything on my devices. Photostream is updating on my iPad.
How can I get Photostream to update again on my PC?

Thank you, I found the answer when similar questions were posted in the "More Like This." I deselected Photostream in iCloud, then reselected it, and the Photostream updated. Thanks, I am new to this communities thing and this is really helpful!
