Some photos were not uploaded to Photostream

Photos taken yesterday evening were not uploaded to Photostream. Automatic upload seems to have resumed today, but only the pictures I took today. Is there a way I can get last year's photos uploaded to Photostream without importing them to a computer?

Nope--sorry. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with an AppleCare rep the other day. He forwarded me a bunch of articles from the Apple website explaining what kinds of images were not compatible with the iPhone. None of that criteria, however, matched my photo.
He also had me clear my iPhone photo cache (sorry, I forget the file's actual name). While I no longer get the error message when syncing, the photos still don't sync.
While the error message just listed one picture, based on the number of photos in the album in iPhoto and the number of photos on my iPhone, it was clear that three pictures weren't syncing, but I wasn't sure what the other two photos were. He suggested trying to determine the other two pictures and then seeing what the similarities were among the three photos.
At that point though I just gave up and wrote off the problem as one I'll live with.

  • TS3989 new photos are not uploading to photostream

    i have a iphone 4s, ipad 2 and a MacPro using iPhoto.  Yesterday my devices stopped uploading NEW pictures to PhotoStream.  I've tested it by taking pictures with each device and waiting to see if it shows up in photostream.  Nothing works.  Is still have the old photostream pics, but new pictures are NOT uploading to photostream.

    Extra piece of information:
    now I shut down the Personal Hotspot, bringing back the iPhone to the "suspected" wi-fi network and the photostream on the iPhone immediately showed the pics I took on the iPad (but not those I took on the iPhone, which are present in the Camera roll, but not on the Photostream). Those pics showed up on the Mac already earlier, thru the Personal Hotspot connection on the iPhone
    So it seems that this wi-fi network allows for very good download to the iOS6 devices but for some reasons does not allow the upload to the photostream of the new pics from the iOS6 devices.
    On the other hand, if the added pictures is on the Mac, then it is uploaded and immediately shows up on the iPad and iPhone.
    To make things even more complex, my girlfriend has iphone 4S and iPad 2 both on iOS6, and for her the photostream works perfect with this wi-fi network... really bizarre.
    I consider the issue closed: this network does not like me for some reason, I'll be back to my normal network tomorrow and things will be (hopefully) back to normal.
    Thank you again.

  • Some photos do not upload to iCloud

    I took about 100 photos at an event.  It was one had a chance to go to on the spur of the moment, and I only had my iPhone (5s, running 8.1.3). Normally for something like this, I would have used a camera, but my phone was all I had.
    My phone is set to upload photos to iCloud.  But, 36 hrs later, about 20% (18 or 20....I haven't completed the careful comparison yet) of the photos that are on my phone are NOT in my iCloud (as viewed in iPhoto on my Mac; they're not in my PhotoStream on my iPad either so I'm assuming they really aren't in iCloud). 
    There is no difference, that I can detect, in the photos that did not make it to iCloud (from the ones that did).  I transferred a couple to my Mac by Messaging and they have the same characteristics (in "Info") as the ones that came to the Mac automatically.
    I tried selecting a couple of photos that did not make it to iCloud on my phone and, with the little sharing icon (up arrow), I selected them for sharing to My Photo Stream.  So far (about an hour) they have NOT appeared in my Photostream view in iPhoto on my Mac.
    What gives?  I definitely have had this occur occasionally before, with a shot or two.  Normally I would use my camera for a bunch of photos like this and wouldn't notice the problem.  But in trying to bulk transfer slightly over 100 photos to my Mac, I was HOPING that I could count on iCloud photo sharing to do the job for me. Instead, I have a bigger nuisance trying to inventory my camera and make sure I haven't missed manually transferring one or two to my Mac!!
    Suggestions appreciated!

    Well, during the now 3 day period since the photos were taken, the phone (and camera app) has been closed, powered off, restarted, etc. a number of times.  I was outdoors and not connected to wi-fi during the shoot.  But my phone went on a charger and connected to wi-fi right after I got home.  Since I took over 100 photos at this event, there was a period near the end of the session when my phone battery was low, but some of the photos missing from photo stream are in the first group that I took that day.  The phone never "died" or failed to shoot a photo, so the battery was never critically low. 
    After doing a better count, I took about 120 snaps total.  Only about 85 photos seem to have ever entered photo stream, as counted in iPhoto on my Mac.  Roughly the same count of missing photos is seem on my iPad which stayed home the whole time and wasn't involved in this except that it shares my Photostream. 
    Working on the individual photos on my phone, marking them to share in my Photostream STILL does not get them into it!!  So, there are some photos that just will not upload it appears.  Once into iPhoto on my Mac, I cannot see any consistent difference in the size or technical characteristics of the ones that did not upload as compared to the ones that did. 
    I have transferred ALL the photos from this session on my phone by usb cable upload to my Mac, so it's NOT a serious issue at this time.  However, it greatly upsets me that a major part of my photo set did NOT get uploaded to iCloud for backup purposes.  Nor would they have gotten to my Mac where I archive photos if I hadn't taken the time to upload them by cable. 
    I seriously doubt that my Photostream limit was approached as I haven't used my iPhone camera for anything other than an occasional snap or two per week for months.  As I said, I would usually have used a camera for this photo session had I not been caught out with only my phone.  But I only took about 120 photos in this session.  And the missing 30 or so photos are scattered all through the photo shoot from beginning to end!
    So, it's a mystery to me too!  About 20% of the photos I took just never ended up getting to Photostream.

  • Photos will not upload to photostream iphone 4

    Photostream was working fine for a while and then my photos taken on the iPhone 4 would not upload.  I have been trying to solve this for months.  Everything is on that should be and I have followed all of the directions Apple has given to get photostream to work.  Additionally, photos from iPad and macbook pro upload just fine.  I even turned photostream off and back on on the iPhone 4.  It turned all of my pictures into grey boxes that said JPG, but did nothing else.  I can't find how to make photostream work again anywhere, please help.

    Yes it is linked to wifi.  Photos have not been uploading from the device for quite some time.  I have followed all of the instructions availible from Apple.

  • I enabled photostream but my last 30 days of photos were not uploaded.  How doe we make that happen?

    Is it not yet functional? Only one new test photo was uploaded. What's the trick to make it work as advertised? Thanks.

    Photostream only starts uploading from the point you activated it, from now on it will start putting new pictures there for 30 days
    I cant see a way from iOS to add images into Photostream, but if you use iPhoto/Aperture you can add images from there to your photostream

  • Photos often not uploading to PhotoStream

    Lately, Photostream has been acting very strange. More often than not, photos I take on my iPhone won't transfer to Photostream. It's not happening all the time, but definitly most of the time. Anyone else experiencing this?

    This is happening to me too, also when I try to save to my camera roll on my iPad it sometimes saves some of my selected pictures and sometimes none atall.

  • My phone photos are not uploaded automatically to my PC

    I am using an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air both running on IOS 8.1. The iCloud version I am using is 4.0.3.56 (latest version at the moment).
    iCould used to upload all my new photos to the "PhotoStream" folder in my PC but is not working anymore. I tried to uninstall iCloud and it does works for a moment but not very long. The next day when I took some new photos or someone sent me some new photos, these photos are not uploaded into my PC.
    I found a solution on this communities. The solution was like 1 or 2 years ago, asking to install the older version of the iCloud. I have tried it but is not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ! 

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Photos will not upload to iCloud in iPhoto can anyone help?

    I am unable to upload photos from my events to my icloud photostream. I have reset the photostream and I still show "uploading X photos" in upper right of iphoto window while in the icloud tab in iphoto.  photos will not upload. I am also unable to move pictures into icloud on any of my devices. (iphone 5 & 2nd gen ipad) will appreciate any and all help to cure my photostream problem.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    The set up is quite basic, actually extremely basic. I am just using my mac and an iPad to play notes on and using the installed synths that came with the program.
    I have 17 different tracks on this piece of music with some of them using the same noise on multiple tracks to play diffent riffs.
    If I try and open a new track with let's say for exame the standard piano. Try to record a part. It plays though the system but will not record even though the timing no is red.
    I can send you a screen shot later today if needed. My other optioni think is to copy all of the parts into a new project and start again.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc..  Many of my photos are located in several folders.  When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

    I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories).  Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays."  When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog.  Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in?  I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • Some photos will not sync from iPhoto to iPad

    I could REALLY use some help. For starters, here is what I am working with:
    iPad3, 64 Gigs, 32 gigs free, up to date iOS
    Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.3 and iPhoto 9.4.2
    The main problem is that some photos can not be synced to my iPad. I have done this for years using iTunes. When I am in iTunes, I can see the albums where the photos are supposed to be. But often, the number of photos in the folder is listed as zero. Other times, the number is less than the number that is actually in the folder on my Mac. Syncing or Applying does not find and move the seemingly invisible pictures.The photos on my Mac are in JPEG format, and can be seen and emailed and edited, etc. on my Mac. I just cant get my iPad to see them and sync them. To say the least, this is problematic, I use my iPad show my craftwork photos to clients, and I can't get some newer photos put on the beautiful handheld iPad.More (potential) pieces of the puzzle:
    the issues seem more frequent with new photos. Old albums seem stable and transferable
    I have done some things like clearing ALL photos off my iPad, restarting it, then moving the albums back on to the iPad using iTunes. Didn't help
    iPhoto on my Mac does sometimes exhibit some crankiness. It tends to crash if I choose Info on any photo. Sometimes it loses photos I have imported. Sometimes it duplicates some photos in a folder.
    I have tried restarting my Mac, have done disk diagnostics, have zapped PRAM, repaired permissions.... all sorts of things like that
    A few weeks ago, I backed up my iPhoto library to another drive, then run a couple of the options in the Rebuild iPhoto Library menu. None of that helped.
    I think there may have been a few other anomolies in the last few months, but the ones above are the things I can remember
    Any help would be super kind of you. I am a Mac user since the very original 128k 1984 Mac. And I have figured out a lot of minor problems in all those years. This one seems so mysterious and intractable. And is really putting a kink in my use of the iPad.
    Thanks in advance, Peter

    didn't try the reboot but when I took my first picture wit the iphone camera then all photos showed up in 'photos' album along with 'camera roll'

  • How do i get my photos back on usb after editing in iphoto. i used export but after checking my photos were not back on usb?

    how do i get my photos back on usb after editing. i used export but after checking my photos were not back on usb?

    You're really going to need to explain that. What's "USB"? Do you mean a Disk, Drive or volume connected by USB? How is your iphoto set up? What version are you using?
