TS3989 Trouble w/ photo stream.

Hi, I'm having some trouble w/ iCloud photo stream. I have photo stream enabled on my iPhone and the pictures apear in the photo stream album in my iPhone, I'm also conected to my office wifi, but when I check my macbook the pics don't sync. I don't know how to check online if the pictures are actually in my iCloud account. I'm sure iCloud is properly set up because my contacts are already synced. however i've added new contacts and the new contacts don't appear on my mac or on the cloud. SOMEONE HELP!!!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are you actually logged into the same iCloud accounts on both devices, are all the services that you require to use checked in iCloud on both devices.

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.

TS3989 only one photo stream I have shared is showing up on my macbook

I have an imac and a macbook pro. I'm logged into the same icloud account on each, and shared photo streams is on. On my macbook only one of the photo streams that I have shared with others shows up under the "My Photos" section. All of the streams I am subscribed to from others are there. All streams are vsiible on my ios devices (if that is even relevant.)
I only have shared photo streams enabled, (I don't use the My Photo Stream, as I don't want all of my pictures from my iphone on my computers).
Not sure if this is relavant, but just in case:
I have two user accounts set up on both macs. One for me, one for my wife. Our iPhoto drive is stored on an external hard drive so that we can both access it and when we are logged in have our own photo streams. (we have different icloud accounts). It does show under "Web" in the left column two photo streams, but only the top one is actually clickable.

After I posted this request for help I found the discussion "Photostream is not syncing on my Windows 7 PC" which gave me some ideas. The Photo Stream download to my 32-bit Windows 7 PC now seems to be working.
Yesterday I changed "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe" to XP SP3 compatibility mode then killed this process, which was running at 100% of one of my CPU cores. I also configured iCloud to download to a new "download" sub-folder of the default Photo Stream folder.
It isn't clear to me whether all of these actions were necessary to solve the problem but when I took a new photo this morning and checked the download folder a few hours later, there it was! Also, Downloader.exe is not running continuously as before - it seems to be a client application called by ApplePhotoStreams.exe only when there is something new to download.

TS3989 iPhone 4 Photo Stream All Photos not Showing Up In My Photo Steam Folder

I am trying to figure out why there are only about 20 photos from my iPhone photo stream in my photo stream on my laptop? they are the most recent photos that I took with my phone camera, but there are a lot of other photos I would like to send to my laptop folder. I have Windows7. Does anyone know how to move ALL the photos that are currently in my Photo Stream on my iPhone 4?

I tired signed out of the control panel and back in and that solved half of the issue. Now only photos taken SINCE October 11 are showing up. All previous photos are not in my iCloud photos. Now what?

TS3989 help with photo stream not making it to pc folder.. uploads a no no also..???

the photos from My I phone photo stream,do not appear in the folder i assigned it to be in. Also when i put photos in my upload folder, they do not make it to my photo stream on m y iphone ??? ive tried everything with the help ??

No, I certainly am not saying it's a feature; just a widely discussed issue that as far as I know has no current solution. I was only sharing this so you were aware that you weren't alone in having this problem, and that it may not be solvable at the current time. If you search the forums perhaps you'll find a solution I'm not aware of.

TS3989 Apple TV photo stream login issues

Can anyone tell me how to access photo stream on my Apple TV I am using the correct username and password details but it still replies with a message that my details are incorrect

The subject refers to photo stream, but your post is dealing with home sharing.
If it is home sharing, as your post indicates, then both need to be on the same network (same location) as well as have the same ID

TS3989 apple tv photo stream

I try to log in to Apple TV with my account, and it tells me it is unable to sign in and to go to support/icloud. I find nothing at that location about the issue. Why can't I log in? My password and username are correct. I want to see my photo stream via apple tv, which was never an issue before. Apple TV wanted me to update and I did. SInce then, I can't gain access. Help!

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.

HT4906 Trouble Syncing Photo Stream with iPad

I am using 9.1.5 latest iPhoto yet I am unable to set Photo Stream in iMac system preferences. I am running 10.7.2? Any additional thoughts? The Photo Stream icon in iCloud preferences is grayed out. "iPhoto udate requiered" Puzzled

9.1.5 is not the latest iPhoto. 9.2.3 is, and you need 9.2 minumum and 10.7.4 for Photostream. So, run Softeare Update.

Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

TS3989 Help on Photo Stream

I tried importing photo stream with I cloud from my I phone to my I pad 3 it only gave me 5 pictures and it should have given me 76

Older photos will not sync, your iPad will only get the new photos in the Photostream from the time it was activated.

TS3989 I have photo stream enabled and working on my mini mac computer, ipad, iphone, and it worked for a while on my PC, but I am no longer having photos downloaded to my PC. I have tried the photo Stream options buttons, nothing is working or changing

what can I do to get photostream working again on my PC?

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Photo Stream Events and Organization

I have been organizing my iPhoto library and after getting my iPhone I am having some trouble understanding Photo Stream. I take pictures with my iPhone and I see them show up in events in iPhoto (such as Oct 2011 Photo Stream). Are these pictures only apart of my Photo Stream or are they copied to my computer? I only ask because I know that Photo Stream has a limit, and when I reach that limit will these photos get deleted? Thanks for any replies.

These photos you are seeing in the events did come from photostream. But, they were uploaded to your Mac so they will not be deleted. The photostream folder, though, is temporary, and eventually those will be deleted.

Photo Stream workflow

I am having trouble getting Photo Stream workflow to work efficiently. Here's what I am doing so far.
Take photos using iPad or iPhone. Once the device connects to WiFi, photos will upload to iCloud automatically.
Run iPhoto or Aperture to download photos from Photo Stream.
Manually verify that all the photos are in iPhoto or Aperture.
Manually delete photos (but not video) on iPhone and iPad.
Steps 1 and 2 are incredibly easy. But steps 3 and 4 seem needlessly convoluted. Is there any way to configure iPhone and iPad to automatically delete photos that have been backed up to Photo Stream?

Is there any way to configure iPhone and iPad to automatically delete photos that have been backed up to Photo Stream?
No.
Photostream is also not designed to be a "backup" solution. It is just what the name says : a stream of pictures across your network and its attached devices. You pick what you like or watch it as entertainment.
Photostream can not be managed, has no further settings and manual selection of what is included or deletion of individual pics is also not there.
