TS3989 Photostream on a new iOs device

I just bought a new iPad to replace one that was lost. I had uploaded a whole lot of pictures to photo stream. They aren't accessible. How do I get them back?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

I just wanna buy a new iOS device and I'm confused between the iPod touch 5th generation, iPhone 4s 8GB, iPad 4th generation 16GB and iPad mini with the retina display 16GB model. Please help me figure out.

I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
Thank you!

They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.

Photostream: photos double on iOS devices, why?

Hi,
with photostream activated and "last 12 months" avtivated in iTunes, I have all pics twice on my iOS devices. Don't they recognize that a photo is already there?

Turning on my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos will cause new photos added to your camera roll (such as photos you take on your iOS devices) to be added to your photo stream when they are connected to wifi (with the camera app closed and at least 20% battery life remaining). Once in photo stream, they will automatically stream to your other iOS devices and computers that are signed into the same iCloud account with my photo stream enabled. For example, iPhoto on your Mac will automatically download these photos when opened and your Mac is connected to the internet. It sounds like you have Automatic Import checked in iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud, which causes these photo stream photos to be added to your events. Once they are in your events, they will appear as options to select in iTunes on the Photos tab when you choose to sync iPhoto photos to your devices.
What happened in your case is that you had the iPhoto event(s) selected in iTunes to sync to your iOS devices, which in turned transferred a duplicate of the photo stream photos to your devices when you synced them with iTunes. Unchecking these events in iTunes removes these duplicates from your devices and prevents this from happening again in the future. If you select any other folder in iTunes on your computer, it will sync a copy of the photos contained in the folder to your devices. (Unchecking any folder and syncing again will remove them from your devices.)

How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device

Hello,
I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

You must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.

HT204088 Downloading Audiobooks to new IOS Device

I purchased two audiobooks and downloaded them to my iPhone 5. I am now using an iPhone 5S and cannot find the audiobooks on either the old or new phone. They are showing in my purchase history, but not in available downloads. Any suggestions?

Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store. If you've deleted them from your old phone then do you have copies of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads ?

Where is my free iWork download for new iOS device?

I just received my new iPhone 5S today. It was advertised that it would automatically prompt you to download the free iWork applications however I received no such download!

Open the App Store.
See the apps are available to download from there.
You should have received a confirmation email from Apple. Instructions for downloading those apps may be included in that email.

Will my iCloud photos fill up my new iOS device too?

Hi. I'm new to this so I hope I make my question clear. I have had an iPod touch 5th generation since Christmas 2012. Since then, I have been sent requests to join many photo streams from my family and friends. Because of this, my iCloud is now extremely close to full, meaning that soon I won't be able to receive any more photos. Today, I am getting an iPad mini, due to my iPod being no longer sufficient for my needs. I want my iPad to be created with my same Apple ID, and have access to my app/song/book purchases. Firstly - can I do this and choose what copies over, or will the contents of my iPod and iPad have to be exactly the same? I want the option to copy my purchases over if I want. (My iPod is full so I don't want to copy everything and fill up my iPad immediately, too (they are both the same amount of storage). Secondly - if I sign into my new iPad with the same Apple ID that I used for my iPod, will the contents of iCloud have to copy over too? My ideal for this situation is to have the choice to copy content from my iPod across, and not be in the situation of "it's all or nothing". I hope this makes sense and would really appreciate some quick responses. Thanks for reading.
