TS4403 My Photo stream folder is empty on my PC (using iCloud Control Panel)

I am using iCloud Control Panel on a Windows 7 PC and my IPod touch (4th gen. running iOS 6.0.1) has photo stream enabled and is connected to wifi. I have the control panel set to auto-sync my photo streams, and when I open the folder on my PC I can view all shared photo streams--those shared originated by myself and by others. However, the folder for my photo stream (those not shared) is completely empty. Yet the pictures display in my photo stream on my ipod just fine.
I'm trying to sell the ipod (and currently have not other iOS devices). I would like to secure all of my photos before wiping the device.

I had the same problem with iCloud 2.0.   There is another thread which posted a link to a previous version iCloud (v.1.1).  I downloaded it, uninstalled v2.0 and I have my Photos syncing to my PC again.  I am sure the iCloud version I installed will not support some of the new features in IOS 6 for Photostream, but I am not using them at the moment.  So I will can wait until Apple issues version 2.1 of iCloud to fix these problems.
As a side from note, I was able to "check" the check box after several attemps.  However, when going into the Photostream library in explorer, Explorer would subsequently crash on me.  Hope it gets fixed soon.

  • Download photos from iCloud to PC using iCloud control panel.

    I downloaded iCloud control panel on my PC (Windows 7), checked photos check-box and pressed APPLY, but did not get my photos back as I have waited long time and checked photos folder!!!
    I have more than 2500 photos uploaded to iCloud, so is it going to take long time to be installed in my PC? Or am I doing it in the wrong way?

    I know that on a mac, photos go to iphoto, I believe there is a windows alternate that is the same for when you plug in your iDevice it opens up this photo app?

  • My Photo Stream keeps turning off in my iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.

    I have an HP Pavilion g6 and it runs on Windows 7. iCloud is already set up on it, as well as on my iPhone, but when I go to use the computer, I find the Photo Stream turned off (I am still logged into iCloud Control Panel.)

    No, I am not trying to use them both at the same time with Photo Stream.  I have not had iPhoto opened in long time and I'm not sure if I have ever opened iPhoto since iCloud went active.  I only use iPhoto when I want to make a greeting or post card.  I just opened iPhoto and clicked on Photo Stream (on the left) and it asks if I want to turn it on.  I just noticed that there is a option to click that says "No Thanks".  I never turned Photo Stream on in iPhoto, but never said no thanks either.  After clicking the "No Thanks" button, Photo Stream disappears from the left.  Maybe that will solve the problem.  I will need to give it some time to see, because it does not happen right away.

  • ICloud My Photo Stream Folder empty on Vista PC, uploads working fine

    Tried everything.
    Pictures I place in the Vista "Uploads" folder appear on the iPad 2 Photo Stream folder via iCloud but when I take a picture
    on the iPad 2 they never appear in the corresponding Vista "My Photo Stream" folder.
    Noticed after installing the Vista applet on the PC only the "Uploads" folder was created automatically, had to create the "My Photo Stream"
    folder manually. Again tried everything multiple times, logging out...re-starting....

  • Photos are not showing anymore in Photo Stream folder even though they are there.

    A couple of days ago my Photo Stream folder in iPhoto was suddenly empty. I checked and Photo Stream is switched on. I disabled it and switched it back on. Now You can see that Photo Stream is importing the images but when iPhoto is done, there are no photos in the folder. When taking a pic with my Mac it uploads as well into Photo Stream and shows up on my iPhone but in iPhoto Photo Stream still nothing.
    I tried manually adding pics but it tells me they are already there. Very strange.
    I also know that Photo Stream itself is working because it works to use Photo Stream as a screen saver and there all the pics show. So it must be a problem with iPhoto. I also did all the repair options for the Media Library that you can do when starting iPhoto. Nothing has changed the situation.
    Anyone any suggestions?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • I copied the photos from my photo stream folder to a new folder on my macbook pro. I then deleted the phots in my photo stream folder. It erased them from the other folder as well. Why? Where did they go? Can I get them back? Please help. Thanks.

    Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.

    You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
    Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
    Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
    Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
    Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
    Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app.

  • How do I delete a 2 photo stream folder from my Iphone 4 device

    I followe the instructions on resetting my photo stream. It deleted all the pics from one Photo Stream Folder but not the other. I dont even know how I got 2 photo stream folders. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the pics in the second folder and or how to completely delete the 2nd photo stream folder.  Please help.... Thanks all...

    Depends on which photos.
    Camera Roll pics ( taken with the iphone) can be deleted one at a time from the iphone, or when you import them to your computer as with any digital camera.
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are deleted the sam way - the sync process.  Open itunes, select what you want on your iphone, sync.

  • Need help - my pics in photo stream on iphone do not all dowload to photo stream folder on my pc

    have photo stream pics on my iphone, when my iphone is connect to my PC, some of the photos do not download onto my photo stream folder on my PC - need help with this

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        •    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.

  • I recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

  • If I delete photos from my iPhone photos and photo stream, and they are not in the 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, do they go to the Recycle Bin on my PC, or disappear altogether?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been covered before.
    I deleted some photos from both 'Photos' and 'Photo Stream' using my iPhone. They are not in my 'Photo Stream' folder on my PC, but do they go to the Recycle Bin or just disappear altogehter?
    Thanks.

    I am afraid not.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool and not a backup solution.
    If you change the Photo Stream on one device it pushes those changes to all devices.

  • Cannot access photos in photo stream folder

    PS Touch on my iPad iOS 8.2 cannot access photos in the photo stream folder.  They appear as blank boxes.  Why?  The photo stream folder contains photos that are shared across devices.  The photo stream folder appears in the app but when opened blank boxes appear where the photos should be.  After doing a search, I see this has been an ongoing problem for other users & uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the issue.  The workaround is to copy the photos into Camera Roll then import them from there.  Does Adobe plan to address this issue in a future update?
