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.

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.

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.

New photos are not showing up for online attachments

I'm having an issue where I'm trying to upload new photos to photobucket or other sites, but when the dropdown box appears, I am not seeing my most recent photos. I know that they are on my Photostream from my iPhone, and when I look on the Photos Mac app, there are often white thumbnails, but I can see the full photo if I click on it. So, it seems whatever program is used by Safari to attach files is not recognizing these new photos after I installed the Photos app. This is very frustrating as I might have to copy the photos somewhere else like to the desktop to attach them properly.

I don't think that it's that they won't show up but rather they are a bit slow in doing so. I appreciate you might not find that helpful, but there is a difference, slowness can improve when traffic levels fall which often happens once people start to get accustomed to a new product.

My photos are not uploading photos to the cloud

Hi,
I migrated my iPhoto library to the new Photos. I did not turn the upload to the iCloud option because I didn't have sufficient storage.
Later I upgraded my iCloud to 200GB and I turned on the iCloud Photo Library option.
The problem is that Photos are spending long hours showing that it is updating iCloud photo but the process so far is 0%.
My Photos library is large, more that 100GB.
How can I copy my photo library to the cloud?
Thanks,
Tareq

I have about 1,200 photos and I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me.
I have an iPhone 6 an iPad and a iMac. I shut down all open and or running applications on all devices. I then rebooted all three devices. I then disabled sleep and auto-lock on all devices. I then opened Photos on all three devices. All 1,200 photos uploaded in about two hours.
this might not work for others but it worked for me.

HT201317 My photos are not uploading manually from my desktop to my photo stream folders on my iphone ... How do I fix this ?

Can anyone walk me thru how to fix or get the photos in my uploads folders for icloud to push out to my iphone?

You currently have 2 separate accounts - Apple doesn't allow you to alter the IDs or merge them currently. If you share purchased music with your family then multiple accounts may make sense. You can have a separate ID for yourself that is associated with your devices. Then you have the "family account" that you make purchases on. In your specific case the @me.com ID would be your account and the @hotmail.com would be the iTunes "family account". The only thing you need to do is to sign into iTunes on your iphone with the @hotmail.com ID. Future purchases will then be linked to your family account and will be transfered to your Dell when you sync. If you purchased free apps on your iPhone under the other account, I would simply delete them and redownload under the @hotmail.com ID. If you made signifcant purchases under the new account, then you can open iTunes on your Dell, sign in with the @me.com account, and authorize that computer. The new purchases will transfer to the Dell, but it makes your iTunes library a little messier...especially when you start buying new computers.
Option 2 is to restore the iPhone and set it up with the old @hotmail account. This is useful if you do not have a family and don't need the hassle of 2 IDs. I don't know what will happen when you try to set up the phone with a new ID however, since the sim card is already associated with an account. I would visit an Apple store or Verizon to do this so you don't run into any problems activating the phone.
My final caveat is I have not started using iCloud yet so I don't know all the ramifications of having multiple IDs. I'm sure you can search the forums some more to dig up those answers. Good Luck.

New photos app not uploading to iCloud

The new photos app has been stuck on uploading my library to iCloud on 26,501 photos to upload for several days. Not going slow just not uploading at all. Any thoughts?

Lots of issues about this one! I have uploaded 227 a whole week. Partly due to local broadband speeds and I suspect pressure on servers in USA. It sees the whole world is uploading at once - perhaps because Apple launched photos!
The advice I got from Apple was just to wait a couple of weeks for things to settle down.
Keep turning off the upload each day if it affects broadband speeds.
To address your specific question I thought mine had also stuck as nothing appeared to happen for days - then a few were uploaded.

TS3989 my photos are not streaming

I don't see my photos in on my computer. My photo stream is on, the camera is closed and I have the wifi on. What should I do?

Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position. If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure 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%.
Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos. For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

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.

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 photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have iCloud

My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have icloud.

As for iCloud Settings, make sure, that in Settings > iCloud "Photo Stream" is turned on, on both the phone, and the iPad. If that is the case, make sure you are in the right photo-folder on the iPad (in your case). You might be in the "Saved Photos" folder, into which the new photos are NOT automatically downloaded. If that is the case, know the following: It make take a while though for photos to be uploaded to iCloud and then downloaded again by the other device, depending on the network. Give it some time, say 10-15 minutes (check your internet connection before that). If it still doesn't work, try an iCloud backup (Settings > iCloud > Backup to iCloud) on both your devices.

TS3989 New photos I take are not automatically uploaded to photo stream

Anyone helps?
Many thanks!

Some pictures on my iphone 4s are not uploaded to Icloud and Photostream and stay in the camera roll

After taking pictures with my IPhone 4S the pictures are not uploaded from the camera roll to ICloud and my Ipad. The pictures do not show up in the the IPhone Photostream after taken. Any solutions?

Hello,
I have experienced a similar issue.
Normally all photos from iPhone or iPad correctly push to photostream and it works.
But on a recent travel the photostream pushing seemed "spotty" and some random pictures taken with iPhone were/are not pushed to photostream. On the destination there was a (slow) wifi connection, might have something to do with it - but even after getting home to my faster wifi connection the remaining photos in my camera roll are still not pushed to photostream from the iPhone.
The missing photos not being pushed from the iPhone to photostream are random in timeline ("spotty" pushing).
Any ideas on why this happens?
I guess after connecting the iPhone to my Mac the entire camera roll will load into iPhoto, and iPhoto on Mac will do the remaining "pushing" to photostream; will have to wait and see.
But this issue purely is about incomplete pushing from iPhone camera roll to photostream.

I have problems syncing my new iPhone 5 to iTunes. I read somewhere to disable iPhotos and that has allowed me to sync but my photos are not on my iPhone. How can I fix this?

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
