Some photos in my photo stream cannot be added to my iPad albums

IPad 4 IOS 6.1.3 24Gb available memory
When I place, say, 50 photos in my photostream from my iMac, they all appear in the photostream on my iPad.
In iPad Photo, Photostream, I select edit and then select all 50 photos then 'add to existing album'. I select the existing album and photos are copied to that album, but only perhaps 48 photos are moved to the album. After identifying the missing photos and trying again those particular photos still won't copy to the album.
Fault, or Feature? Help!

I have found that if I edit the missing photo (eg: crop) whilst it is in the photostream I can subsequently move the edited photo to the album (?????).

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How can I solve this error message? Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_0374.jpg", were not copied to the iPad "(my name's) iPad" because they cannot be displayed on your iPad.

There were 273 photos in the event syncing from my Mac, but only the last 103 made it to the ipad. Most of the photos were taken by an iphone. I would appreciate any thoughts or insights - thanks.

Adrian-
That error message suggests the photo is somehow corrupt.
Do you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit? You can set up a USB thumb drive with MS-DOS FAT-32 format and copy your photos to it into a folder named DCIM. Assuming they have an 8 character plus suffix name, the iPad will recognize them and give you the option of transferring them via the Kit's USB adapter.
Once they are transferred, you can find out if there is a problem with any.

Photostream keeps your photos for download to other devices for 30 days, once they are gone, you can find them on other devices that you have enabled photostream to work with. So if you have Computer, and use photostream - they are in photostream folder in pictures or iphoto. If you didn't use computer, they are gone.

HT201077 I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto. The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

Set up the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, then turn photo stream to On.

Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

Hello Karelyn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Best of luck,
Mario

Are you putting the photos in the Uploads folder on your PC.

HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices. To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll). To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import. You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you only want to delete them go ahead. Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

Some of my photos disappeared from the stream out of the blue!what do I do to restore them?

I realised jut now that many pictures from the iCloud stream have disappeared!Strange thing is that I was watching my photos one week ago and now suddenly I can't see them!they aren't anywhere!My device is an iPhone 4s.
I looked up for some solutions and the Apple website (UK edition) suggested going to settings>iCloud>photos>No>Delete and then Yes again so us to restore all the photos and start the synchronizing. I did it 3 times. First time it restored 114, and then the second and the third time 115 photos, although initially, before having my photos disappeard that is, I had much more. I also had photos from my previous iPhone which was stolen, but I was able to restore those photos via iCloud in my new device, and that happened end of September, which means that I had photos in my stream since the end of September and now I can only see photos from the end of November and on.
Plus I checked if I have enough space or not and if not, if that's causing any problems ,but I have more than enough gb for the photos.
Any idea what can I do???

Hi!
Well, there isn't any family member who could do that, because they don't have any access to my iCloud, so the second one is not an option for sure!
Also, I am positive that photos don't stay in the stream only for 30 days, because I've had those photos from mid-end September in my iPhone, why did they just disappear?They should've disappeared long ago!Also, in my previous device I had photos stored in my stream for up to 8-9 months and they never disappeared, so this one doesn't seem to be the answer!
Thank you though for your time, I really appreciate it!

HT201317 Some photos go to Photo Stream and some go to Camera Roll. How to fix this so that all go to Photo Stream when I take pics?

Sometimes when I take pics on my iPhone 4s the some of the pics go to the Photo Stream while others go to the Camera Roll. Why do they not all go to the camera roll? How to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
All photos taken on the phone go to the camera roll. If photostream is enabled they should also go to photostream in addition to photos added from other devices. Photos added to photostream from other devices will not be added to the camera roll on your phone (unless you move them manually.
Photos taken on the phone should be added to camera roll immediately, it may take a few moments before they appear in photostream, while they are sent from the camera roll to the cloud and back again to photostream.
If photos aren't being added to photostream there may be a couple of reasons:
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
If the problem persists:
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.

HT201317 Some of my photos in my Photo Stream on my iPhone are not going over automatically to my computer. How do I fix this?

Some of my photos in my Photo Stream on my iPhone are not going over to my laptop. I can't figure out why, and I use them for scrapbooking. My laptop is a PC NOT a MAC.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
For the avoidance of doubt, are the photos actually in photo stream on your iPhone or just in your camera roll?
If they are in photo stream, then you might try turning photo stream off and on again on both devices, restarting both devices before enabling photo stream once again.

I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)
