TS3989 Videos in iCloud photo streams cannot be played

All my videos appear in photo streams (own or shared) as thumbnails, but they cannot be played (the wheel turns indefinitely), on all devices in iOS7. On Apple TV 3 6.0, video don't even appear in photo streams. These videos are taken with my iPhone 5. This problem affects all my devices and those of friends. It concerns all my photo streams made on iOS7.  Please help, this is very annoying. I tried to turn of and on again phot stream in iCloud settings with no success.

  • My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
    There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

  • HT4906 As I set up my iCloud, Photo Stream which is faded cannot be chosen

    As I setup my iCloud, Photo Stream is faded. I cannot choose the Photo Stream.Why is that?

    This is the iPhoto forum.  Since you have a PC you should post your question in the iCloud on my PC: iCloud: Apple Support Communities forum.

  • I cannot see the videos stored in 'videos' on my iphone 4s to transfer them. The videos in my photo stream transfer over when connected to a pc.

    I cannot see the videos in 'videos' when connectedto a pc to transfer them over then delete. I can see the videos & transfer them from the photo stream.

    Correcion - the videos in the photo stream are different videos. I need to move & delete the videos in 'videos'.

  • Download video from iphone icloud photo stream to mac?

    I have a iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.2 and a 2012 MacBook 13" OSX 2.9 i7 dual core on Mavericks 10.9.5
    I'm using iPhoto 9.4.3 on my Mac
    The issue: after filming several biking videos on my iphone, I ran out of space.
    So I 'shared' in a icloud folder I have called 'Bikes'.
    I then deleted the video files on my iphone.
    The issue:  when I got home and tried to sync my iphone pictures and videos to the Mac,
    only the photos were synced to the library and the icloud photostream album.
    The videos were nowhere.
    The videos seem to be only available to view on the iphone icloud album.
    The only way to share the video is to share the entire album and force the sharees to open an icloud account (something I do not want to inflict on friends).
    Creating a smart album on iphoto to find all videos doesn't help either as the videos aren't on the hard drive, they're on icloud.
    How can I get back control of my video content?  I simply want to download MY OWN videos to MY OWN hard drive. 
    Would an upgrade to Yosemite help me?  Would this enable one to access one's own video content in icloud and be able to download it to one's own hard drive? 
    Anyone else frustrated by iphoto/icloud video limitations?

    Thanks for answering Léonie,
    But I'm cool with creating private and shared albums, thing is, they are not the same depending on whether you view them from an iPhone and MacBook.
    The same iCloud/photo stream album eg. 'Bikes' contains pictures and videos when viewed from an iPhone but when viewed from a MacBook, the videos have mysteriously disappeared. 
    All I want to do is:
    1/ Download the video files from iPhone iCloud to my iPhone (4s on iOS 7.1.2) Camera Roll (not possible)
    2/ Download from MacBook iPhoto/Photos stream/album to my MacBook hard drive, but it's not currently possible (osx 10.9.5). 
    The only place where these particular videos are is in the iPhone version of iCloud/photo stream album.  I (increasingly regrettably) deleted the original videos from my iPhone Camera Roll after I had added the videos to the iCloud photo stream album.  I know I can easily download photos from my iphone/icloud photostream album but downloading a selected video gives me a greyed out sharing option button.
    Reading about Yosemite upgrades on my 2012 MacBook (2.9 i7 dual core, 8Go RAM) I am very, very wary about upgrading my MacBook to Yosemite and Photo just for this issue, especially if I still can't access my video file and have to face hours of data recovery/formatting and full reinstall! Not to mention risking having incompatibility issues with my database/analytics software!

  • TS3989 iCloud, Photo Stream

    I've tried all your suggestions here and my Photo Stream still doesn't work. I'm using iPhoto 11, I'v updated all my devices to the latest software versions on all my devices and it still doesn't work. I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet and I recently purchased an iPhone 5. What is the problem?

    Well ... I can't get Photo Stream to turn on with iPhoto on my Mac.
    From the various instructions from Markwmsn immediately above, I have, or have done the first six points:
    * Device(s) on iOS5.1 or later
    * Mac(s) on 10.7.3 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or later (10.8.2 and 9.4 for Shared Photo Streams).
    * All device(s) and Mac(s) are signed in to the same iCloud account.
    * On the iOS device(s), Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream is "On" (and Shared Photo Streams if desired)
    * On the iOS device(s), Settings > Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream is "ON" (and Shared if desired)
    * On the Mac(s), System Preferences > iCloud > Photo Stream is active
    But when I try to do the next step ...
    * On the Mac(s), iPhoto > Preferences > Photo Stream > Enable Photo Stream is checked.
    ... when I try to check the box for "Enable Photo Stream", I get an error message:
    "Sign in to Photo Stream using iCloud.  In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences.  Cancel / Continue."
    BUT in the System Preferences, I AM ALREADY SIGNED INTO my iCloud account, and indeed it is working fine for all the other features (Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc.)

  • TS3989 iCloud photo stream stopped updating today at about 4pm?

    I use iCloud photo stream via my PC  to upload photos to sites that are incompatible with my iPad  and iPhone. Today at about 4:00 iCloud stopped uploading photos from my iPad to my PC. It's been over 5 hours and nothing. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Does this have anything to do with the mail blackout yesterday, maybe the mail fix messed up photostream?  Are there any settings that could have been changed that I should check? If anyone has knows a way to deal with this...someone elsewhere said uninstalling iCloud on the PC then reinstalling it...can someone please tell me how to do that? Please help my business is at a complete standstill with no end in sight.

    Hello,
    For some reason, my images stopped syncing between my devices. I brought it up to one of the Genius Guys at the Apple store. They told me to go into my iCloud settings and delete the account on the device (first do a back up). Then they said for me to go back into the iCloud settings and re-enter my iCloud settings. It took a little bit for all the images to pop up, but it worked. Good luck to you.
    Cheers!

  • Getting photos back from iCloud Photo Stream

    I just thought I would put this here as a way to fix at least one issue with iCloud Photo Stream. This was on my iPhone 4.
    My kid plugged my iPhone into my wife's computer. It basically put all her information and set up on to my phone. I finally got it all set back up, but none of my photos or videos from photo stream were showing up on my phone. Everything else came back over, mail and contacts, but the photos did not show up. Usage showed that 2.5 out of my 5G still being used so it looked like they are there somewhere, they just wouldn't sync.
    This is how I fixed it. At least somewhat. As of this time my videos have not come back yet, but they were rather large and it may take a while. I will try to update later as to whether they come back or not. All the photos are back.
    > I made sure that iCloud backup was ON, on the iPhone.
    > Turned off Photo Stream sync. This warns you that it will "Delete all photos on your phone". Make sure you dont have anything you care about on the phone currently. If you do, I would backup and then come back. Click Delete.
    > Turned Photo Stream back on.
    > Restart iPhone and plug in so it will be charging and make sure you have a wifi connection.
    It may be that you should restart the phone before turning Photo Stream back on, but I actually turned it back on and then restarted. Anyways, this fixed this particular issue I had. Follow at your own risk .
    I still think its ridiculous that you cannot view photo stream photos on iCloud.com. I really can't see paying for this service with the lack of features and bugginess.

    Are you sure about the videos thing? I have 2.6G used on my iCloud account. The only things being synced were Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find my iPhone. I only had 50 photos. There's no way that stuff takes 2.6G worth of storage space.
    Secondly, I know all about backups. I do Apache webserver support for a very large university. But when something happens spur of the moment that you don't have control over, its very possible to lose stuff. I don't need to be quoted the manual. I was just trying to be helpful and share something that worked for me to get my photos back since there seem to be a large number of people with similar issues.
    Frankly I find Apple's software to be extremely frustrating regarding iTunes and iOS. I have been in IT for 15 years and rarely have I found a software set that is so obtuse as iTunes and iOS. The error messages are NOT clear at all, the manual is equally muddy, and, for example in the case of a "Photo Stream" viewer in the iCloud.com, obvious features are COMPLETELY missing.  I cannot imaging actually paying for iCloud with the lack of features it currently has. For as much money and time Apple spends on researching device user friendlyness, I do not understand why their software is so UNuserfriendly.  I am NOT the only one with this opinion.

  • My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

    I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped.  Both computers are x64 bit.
    Problems I am experiencing
    A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
    B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
    C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream.  An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
    D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
    I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
    I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
    I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
    Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
    I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
    I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
    I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
    I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
    I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
    Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
    Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
    Confirmed all the warnings.
    Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
    Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
    iCloud has.
    Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
    Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
    So I'm back in business.
    I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
    My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
    ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5.  I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device.  I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
    I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
    This is really, really frustrating.  I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
    Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

  • How to see video from share photo stream?

    Since iOS 7, we can share videos in shared photo stream from our iDevices. It is working fine on iPhones and iPads. And I was expecting to see this appearing with the new firmware of the Apple TV.
    But no. The videos are invisible!
    I even created a brand new stream just for videos. The stream appear on the Apple TV, but it is empty.
    Is it normal??
    My Apple TV is a 3rd generation model.
    I am also expecting to see them in a future upgrade of iPhoto and Aperture....

    Reply to myself to help others... maybe.
    I found out that if you create a brand new photo stream on your iPhone, put videos in and then you go on your Apple TV, then the videos will appear. But the videos on already existing streams are still invisible.
    But I found a fix for that to. Go in your Apple TV setting and disconnect from your iCloud account. Connect again and then go back to the photo application... wait...wait...wait... a long time and then bingo! They appear!!!
    I think it is still a bug, but at least there is a workaround now.
    Ok now waiting for an iPhoto and Aperture update....

  • Can't play video shared on Photo Stream

    Hi, I'm having trouble playing a short (27-second) video shared on Photo Stream/iCloud. It shows up on my iPhone (OS7), but when I try to play it, it just spins and spins. I've downloaded the latest OS and version of iPhoto for my MacBook Air as well, and the video doesn't even show up there. I can only see photos from the shared Photo Stream, but not the video.
    Thanks for your help!

    Same issue here.
    Share videos to photo stream an it doesn't play on any other device. It just sites there forever spinning around and around (left overnight).
    Tested on iPad 2 and iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0 and 7.0.1 respectively.

  • Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

    Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.  Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled.  When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos.  Is there a 64 bit version?

    Hello tw_mama,
    I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
    This section in particluar:
    I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    All the best,

  • Why does my iCloud photo stream create duplicates of every photo?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air, on which I store all my photos.
    I routinely export my photos from my iOS devices to my MacBook Air, and view whatever photos that I have through photo stream.
    On my iOS device and MacBook, though, every photo has a duplicate of itself, even though in the main library I only have one of each photo—no duplicates at all.
    Why are duplicates showing up in my iCloud photo stream even though I have no duplicates in the actual library itself?
