Up the Creek Without a Photo Stream

Is it possible to get video files taken with my iPhone into Photo Stream or does it only work with photos?  Is their an easy alternative to get videos from the iPhone to a Mac?  The only options in the iPhone are email, YouTube or text message.  None of those are particularly useful or efficient for transferring videos directly to a Mac.

Photo Stream does not support videos at the present time.  You can import your videos (and photos) to your computer using usb as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Alternatively, if you have wi-fi you can wirelessly transfer your videos (and photos) to your computer using an app like PhotoSync.

    You can't get a url for my photo stream; only for publically shared streams.

  • If I restore my iPhone, will it delete the content of my photo stream?

    If I restore my iPhone, will it delete the content of my photo stream?

    Nope. I have restored my iPod many times (4+) and it didn't ask me to purchase it again. But... if you try this using iTunes 8, you will experience less problems.

    I updated to the iOS6 and I can no longer view and download photos to my PC through windows Explorer.

  • How can I send a photo through messaging without using photo stream?

    Ever since I updated my phone I can't send a pic without photo streaming and not everyone has an iPhone so I can't send pics to everyone I want to/

    Well, if you have iOS 6 on your iPhone 4, and click on a photo in your photo library, then click the "share" button in the lower left, you see these options:
    Mail
    Message
    Photo Stream (OK, you don't want that one)
    Twitter
    Facebook
    [4 other options not directly related to electronic sharing]
    So I would say you have a plethora of options.

  • 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.

  • HT201317 Just got a 4S.  We've taken 1,000 photos which are in the camera roll.  Photo Stream has loaded the last half of the 477 pictures.   Not sure what happened to the first 523 pictures.  How do I request that these be uploaded again to Photo Stream?

    I have a 4S and have taken 1,000 photos.  For some reason only the last half of them, 477 pictures, loaded to Photo Stream.  I think I turned off Photo Stream in attempting to set up iCloud.  How do I re-load the first set of 523 photos again to Phot Stream?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    It is not very easy at all to add photos to photo stream from your camera roll on your phone, the only way I'm aware that this can be achieved is to take a screenshot of each photo. It would be much simpler to sync your photos to a computer and add them to photo stream from there.
    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation.

  • How can I transfer a video between iPads? I can see the video in a photo stream but it won't save to the new iPad.

    I shot a video with the camera on an iPad and want to transfer a copy to a new iPad Mini to take advantage of the retina display.  I can see it in a photo stream, but it won't let save it to the new iPad.  The old iPad didn't have enough memory to work on an iMovie, so I need to get the video in the new iPad mini to put it in an iMovie project.

    Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini.  I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

  • HT201317 I want to change the location of my photo stream photos from the default location.  How can I do that?  I don't have enough room on my C drive.

    I can't figure out how to change this.    I have an older PC laptop that barely has enough space to operate with itunes on it.  I have most everything on an external hard drive and would like to move the photo stream folder there. 

    Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
    Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

  • I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. I synced them to my computer, the ones on my photo stream. can I delete the pictures in my camera roll? and still have the pictures on my computer? or do i have to save them from icloud folder to

    Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

    If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC.  Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
    Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer.  If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

  • Trouble uploading photos to the Iphone from the upload folder in photos stream.

    Hello,
    I started to use photostream just a few days ago. I turned on in the Icoud contro panel in my pc, and I also turn it on in my Iphone 4. It works perfect when the pictures are taken with the device. I mean, i take pictures, and when Im on wifi, they go to the photostream album, and then i can find them in the "my photo stream" foder in the pc. Smooth.
    But it doesent work the other way around. The pictures that I have in my coputer, when i copy them in the upload folder, they do not go to the phone. It doesent matter whats the size of the picture, they just wont go anyhere.
    I trid several times. I erased all the pictures from the uplload folder, and started copying one by one, waiting several hours between pictures to see if they go to the phone, but they dont. i turned the photostream off in the device and in the pc, and turned it back on, only to see the same outcome, pictuers taken with the ophone go to the pc, bur pictures in the pc dont do to the phone.
    Please, anybody can help me withg this?
    My pc is running windows 7, and my phone hast the latest ios5 update (by the way, it didnt do much with the battery life)
    Thanks to all.

    Hi. Just to let you know your not the only one with this problem. More likely millions have the same disappointment. I have tried everything and spent about 12 hours with no luck. Hope apple sort it soon.

  • 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'.

  • What is the URL of my Photo Stream :-(

    I cannot believe this is true that Apple does not allow us to share our photos with family and friends.
    If this is true, it is INCREDIBLY BAD and not why we have been buying apple products!
    Cannot understand why photostream does not have a URL for us to share photos with family and friends.
    Sharing photos on all our personal devices is uneeded and STUPID!
    Sharing our photos with family and friends is a MUST and why we have Mac's, iPhones, iPads and cameras.
    Please tell me that this NIGHTMARE (no URL's for our photo streams) is not true.

    If you are referring to the iTunes Store podcast directory listing for your podcast, go to your iTunes page, and right click (or CTRL + Click on the Mac) and click "Copy iTunes Store URL" and then paste that into your email client, or im, or wherever. You can also find the url in the Podcast Approval email you received when your podcast was added to the iTunes Store.
