Photostream works for a while, then stops and won't upload to iCloud anymore.  Rebooting the phone resolves the issue.  Anyone know why?

I have an iPhone 4S.  Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud.  Rebooting the phone resolves the problem.  This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work.  Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong with it?  I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
Thanks!

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.

  • Strange issues with W7 shared Laserjet 1020 to XP machine - works for a while then stops

    I have a principal with a Windows 7 machine and a Laserjet 1020 printer.  The assistant Principal (XP machine) wants to print to his printer.
    When the printer is shared - it will work for a day or two then it will stop responding.  The print jobs from the W7 machine will just dissapear.  They won't even go in the print que.  Stopping and re-starting the print spooler doesn't help, power down of the printer doesn't help.  The ONLY fix seems to be to delete the printer and re-install.  HUGE pain!!!
    I have made sure bi-directional is UNCHECKED and it still has these issues.
    I re-installed the printer and didn't share it and it has now worked flawlessly for over a week.
    But I really need this share to work!  HELP!!!  I've never seen a problem like this before!

  • Can't generate Waveform in video - worked for a while then Stopped!

    Importing mpg video had been working fine.  I imported several, cleaned up the sound, then saved in flv format - no problems.  Then suddenly it stopped.  I still get the video, but no waveform - no audio.
    Called tech support, wasted 2 hours with someone who didn't know anything other than reinstalling the software.  Reinstalled, updated, still no good.
    I vaguely remember that when I initially installed the 30-day trial version of CS4, the mpg audio (from Handycam) didn't work.  Then when I purchased, I downloaded an update from Adobe that added support for other codecs.  That's when it started working.
    Any ideas on what updates/codecs that would be?
    And now the media encoder drops the audio too, from the mpg's when converted to flv.  that's why i'm thinking it's a simple codec issue but I'm not getting anywhere.

    Hi greer,
    Right around that time this morning we had a problem with some of our browser servers that may have caused the issues you saw. Can you give us some details about what time you were testing, what url(s) you were testing, and which browsers you were testing?
    Did you see any of your screenshots succeed, or were they all failing?
    Regardless, we restored the servers fairly quickly and got everything working, is everything working ok for you now?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • HT4199 Hi I have a iPad which works fine on my wireless router and a iPad mini which won't work all the time on my wireless router it's work for a minutes then stops, it won't work on my apps the loading icon just goes round, but the iPad works fine all t

    I've even tried only having the iPad  mini on the router but that's not even worked. Safari works but the apps are the worst and its what I use most.

    Hi Friends,
    I found the solution for this problem (because I faced it too): go to Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset Internet Settings (the third option in IOS 6).
    Five minutes later my iPhone 4S works fine again.
    If the issue persists, forget the wifi connection, then sign in again.
    Hope it helps

  • Printer works for a while, then stops

    I have an HP Photosmart D5460 printer which I bought on Black Friday that operates on a USB port. I was on here before because I couldn't get the printer to print anything. At that time, it needed a high speed USB driver. I did a search for one downloaded it on my computer, and then put in the installer cd for the printer to reinstall it.
    After that, it printed fine. But now, it's not working. It's telling me that there is no printer installed. I don't know how many times I've installed that printer. It also acts like I didn't even install the USB driver.
    The type of Windows version I use is Windows Vista.

    At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think.  I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point.  Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before  I take it back the better I think.

  • Airport express works for 1 minute then stops

    I came back from vacation. restarted my mac mini + airport express + ...
    Internet worked for 1 minute then stopped. I unplugged cable modem + airport. Restarted them. Internet worked for 1 minute the stopped. After it stopped working the light on the airport express stayed green. Computer was still connected with a strong signal.
    I plugged the ethernet cable into mac and internet worked fine without issue.
    I did a hard reset of airport express and had same issue as above.
    Is my airport express shot? Why does it only work for 1 minute or so and then stop?

    After waiting a few days, plugged in airport to try one more time and it now works fine. Not sure what the problem was, but it has had no issues since letting it stay unplugged for a few days.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

    after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
    before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

    Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
    As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
    Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
    I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

    I left my macbook pro closed and when I came back the screen had a huge crack all over the screen, anyone know why this could have happened?

    Someone dropped something onto your computer.
    Someone pressed on the closed computer.
    Someone placed heavy objects on your computer.
    We can only guess since the someone was not us and we were not there when it happened.
