Reset photo stream

How do you currently reset the photo stream. There used to be a way to do it at www.icloud.com but I read that was going to be obselete and I do not see the option there anymore.
When I log into iCloud on the desktop then merge with Outlook I see downloading over 40 photos but there are no photos in my Photo stream, what are those photos maybe there are Outlook contact pictures I guess or is there still a way to really reset the photo stream even though I do not see any pictures in my folders?

At the present time you have to delete them from the my photo stream album on your iOS device to remove them from photo stream. You only have to delete photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in your photo stream. If you want to keep the photos, be sure to save them to your camera roll first (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

HT204022 How do you reset photo stream?

The default setting in iphoto has pushed my entire photo library to the could. Or atleast attempted to. I stopped it before all 30k pictures were uploaded. The problem now is when I turn photo stream back on in icloud it is trying to download 4,300 pictures. All I want to do is stop this madness and reset photo stream.
I have tried the old way by logging into icloud.com and but the advanced settings in your account are gone.
Please help!

Or just wait 30 days, when the photos will be automatically deleted from the stream servers. After that, just turn off photo stream in settings and back on. This will delete the photos on the device and download whatever is on the server. Of course if you keep adding photos to the stream, that won't work well.

Resetting photo stream not clearing photo stream on iPhone

I tried resetting Photo Stream as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
but the photos are still showing on my iPhone.
Any way to get rid of them?
Thanks,

I do see that turning Photo Stream off on my iPhone and turning it on again clears the Photo Stream photos on the device.
But the reset of Photo Stream at icloud.com doesn't seem to work.

Trying to reset Photo Stream in iCloud

I logged into iCloud, went to advanced settings and don't see a Reset Photo Stream button, all I see is a Reset Documents and Data Button. What am I doing wrong or missing here?

Go to this discussion and read the response for randers4. See if that works for you.

HT204022 If I reset photo stream will the photos in my camera roll be deleted as well or will they stay in the camera roll and just be removed from the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you reset photo stream from the iCloud.com website, the photos will remain on your various devices, unless you also disable photo stream synchronisation and then turn it back on again.

Resetting Photo Stream Problem

I have problem resetting my photo stream on iCloud. Cant find the advance option under my email account it was replace by notification option. Any idea where can I find the advance option under iCloud.com

Interesting... I don't see it either. I know it used to be there, because I've used it before.
It would seem this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2607 , is no longer accurate. Or, it's been temporarly disabled for some reason.

Can't reset photo stream

I have installed the iCloud control panel and have all the updates on my iPhone 4 and PC for iCloud. Based on the instructions to "reset" my "Photo Stream," I log on to my account from iCloud.com and reset the photo stream. However, I continue to get the following message, "Your Photo Stream could not be reset at this time due to a server error. Try again later."
Consequently, since I have installed iCloud I have been unable to reset my Photo Stream. Am I doing something wrong or is there indeed something wrong with the "server?"

Use Safari to access Icloud.com. Reset does not work using IE. You can download a PC version of Safari from apple.com.

I can't reset photostream in iCloud. When I try I get an error message stating that: "Photostream cannot be reset at this time due to a server error, please try again later." I have been trying for 2 days. Same result. Any ideas?

On your iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream to off.
Restart your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Switch PS back on.

How to reset photo stream

I have my photo settings set so that any photos taken will automatically go onto the photo stream however it seems to be selective in which photos actually do go onto the photo stream. Any ideas??

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.

IPhoto '11 (version 9.4) Is Not Working With "My Photo Stream"

OS X 10.8.2
iPhoto '11 version 9.4 (701.64)
iOS 6 on iPhone 4 and third generation 64 GB WiFi iPad
All iCloud services I require are enabled on all three devices - most important for this issue being Photo Stream on my MBP (and, of course, my iPhone and iPad).
So, I am out of ideas and things to try here. I just want the photos in "My Photo Stream" to show up in the latest and greatest version of iPhoto. So far I have:
Disabled and re-enabled Photo Stream via iCloud preferences panel and in iPhoto itself using every possible combination of disable and enable between the two and ordering those disables and enables in every possible way with many MBP restarts.
Reset Photo Stream via iCloud.com followed by the futility of repeating Step 1.
Logged out of iCloud on my MBP, restarted, signed back into iCloud, restarted, launched iPhoto. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Performed every repair and rebuild option for my iPhoto library's permissions, thumbnails and database. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Went so far as to download and apply the 9.4 update manually hoping that maybe a reinstall of the update would correct something that might have gone wrong during some Software Update process when 9.4 was first made available. Repeated Steps 1, 2 and 4.
In the end, when I launch iPhoto and go to Photo Stream and open "My Photo Stream", sometimes I see it downloading a given number of photos and then it ends up saying "No photos". So what was downloaded? Where did those photos go? Sometimes when I launch iPhoto and go to "My Photo Stream" nothing happens at all and it just says "No Photos". And another strange thing is that "My Photo Stream" in iPhoto on my MBP indicates that it was updated March 5, 2012 and I can think of nothing special that happened on that date. I don't get it.
Why does my Photo Stream work perfrectly between my iPhone and iPad? What is the problem with iPhoto on my MBP? Am I the only one dealing with this specific issue?
I did not buy iPhoto from the App Store. I bought it outside of the App Store and have kept it updated. Is that a problem? If so, why? I do not see what reason Apple would have to make me pay for the same product twice.
I have not tried creating a shared stream yet. I see no reason to try that if I cannot get my own photo stream to work in iPhoto on my MBP.
Is there anything I am missing here. I have read the Photo Stream FAQ and myriad other support documents and community threads. I am a pretty savvy Apple guy with years of experience behind me and pretty much know what I am doing. But, I am human and maybe I'm missing somehting here. So, any help would most certainly be appreciated.

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream. Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on. Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?

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.
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.
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.
