Why are my photo stream photos not showing up in on my computer?

Only some of the pictures I take with my iPhone 4 are loading in iCloud and only some of those are showing up on my computer with iCloud operating.  Please help.

I've got the same problem.  Photos taken on my iPhone and iPad all used to appear virtually immediately on my laptop Photo Stream (so long as phone/ipad were connected to wifi) .  Since updating to ios8 ... nothing.  It's really annoying because I take loads of photos for work, and it was so easy to be able to upload them direct from the PhotoStream, now I either have to connect iPhone by USB or email them to myself.
I must say, I've never found PhotoStream the most reliable thing ever, it did used to stop working every couple of months, but nothing that logging out of my iCloud control panel and back in didn't solve.  However I've done this numerous times and even resorted to removing and reinstalling it, nothing works and I really don't know what else I can do.   Photos I take on iPhone appear on the "Recently added" photos on iPad and vice versa, but nothing on the laptop.
I did hear a "rumour" that Apple are going to reinstate the good old Camera Roll and PhotoSteam on the next update, due October 20th ... hoping this will alleviate the problem otherwise I guess I'll have to start using DropBox.

  • Why are my photos not showing up under "Photos" in the "Library" section

    I tried uploading photos from the new year, but they are only showing up under "last imported" and "last 12 months" etc... They won't show up under the "photos" section.. They stop on Dec. 31, 2013.. How do I get my pics from the new year to show up? (using iPhoto)

    If the  photos are in last import then they are in you library - last import is not a place - it is a view of photos in your library - you can also view these photos ine vents and in photos
    The most common cause of your not finding them is an incorrect sort (view menu ==> sort photos) or incorrect date settings on your camera

  • TS3999 Why are my photos not showing in my web journal that I created with iPhoto?

    I Created many journals in the past with no problem this weekend I created a new journal and when I access the website the photos do not appear., only grey squares with my notes the date and the weather. I visited the apple Genius Bar and they could not help. They said maybe it is a problem with the Apple Server. apple.com server website shows no problems with their server. Help please

    I've been experiencing the same problem. Both new and old web journals do not display properly. Most photos are gray squares, but if I hit refresh I am sometimes able to partially view the album. This problem occurs both within iPhoto and in various web browsers.
    iPhone and iPad with iOS 7.1.2, and iPhoto 2.0.1

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • Why do my photos not show for come projects?

    I have an Aperture folder containing 9 projects and about 1500 photos. All photos appear when I click on the folder, but do not appear when I click on 7 of the 9 projects (they used to). Also the Info and Adjustment views are blank The photos appear for each of the 9 projects in iPhoto and the photo count shows the same number (with a few minor differences) in Aperture and iPhoto.
    Any help would be appreciated. Would repairing the Library help?

    I'm hitting a similar, rather scary bug in Aperture which I expect is behind your issue as well.
    *** I've found that as soon as I drag a project in to or out of a folder in the library window, all the photos in that project disappear. ***
    Aperture is somehow losing the link to the images when you drag the project somewhere. You can still see the images if you click on the folder (or indeed on the overall "Photos" item at the top of the library list) but not when you select the project itself.
    You cannot drag the images from the folder into the old apparently empty project, I guess because Aperture thinks that's where they already are.
    I did manage to recover things by creating a new project and dragging the images into there, then deleting the old project. But this bug means that I cannot organise my projects in any useful way - I have to leave them exactly where I created them.
    Organising my library is now fraught with danger, so if anyone has found a solution to this I'm keen to hear it.
    I'll keep working on it and try and find the cause and/or a fix.
    I'm using Aperture 3.5.1 on a Mac Pro 2011 running 10.9.4. Library is stored on an SSD. Images are stored in the library file/package rather than referenced.

  • Why are my deleted imovie events not showing up in mac trash?

    I dleted an event in imovie on my macbook pro, it dissappeared, but I can't for the life of me find it in my mac trash.

    No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
    I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
    My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing.  "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

  • Why are my apps and others not showing on itunes?

    I recently moved my itunes folder to an external hard drive. Since then my apps, ringtones and books are not showing on itunes when loaded up on my laptop. Music, films and tv programmes are all fine and playback fine.
    I have checked the itunes media folder on the external hard drive to make sure they are there to which they are, they are also in there respective folders inside the media folder.

  • HT6413 Why are my photos not uploaded to my photo stream on my PC?

    Running Win7 on my PC.  Photos taken on Ipad or Iphone 5 used to upload automatically.  Updated to Iphone 6 and they no longer do so.  Have checked all settings and they appear to be in order.  Any reason they should not upload to the photo stream?

    I found the problem.  AS it turns out, when I created my iCloud account I eneded up creating a NEW ID.  The process is a little bit confusing and it is apparently easy to get one ID on the iCloud on your iMac and another on your iPhone.  This is what I had done.  It was a simple matter of signing out of iCloud on the Mac and then signing back in wiht my original Apple ID (the one on the iPhone) once I signed backin, pictures starte appearing in the Photo Stream.  Easypeasy!

  • Why are my photos not syncing from my iPhone6 to my laptop?

    What is going on with synchronizing photos from iPhone 6 to windows laptop?
    I spend so much time searching for photos, it's ridiculous.
    What the heck is iCloud for? I don't get it - nothing works.
    I am forced to use Flickr to synchronize my photos, because I don't have any idea what Apple is doing with them.
    Ugh! I'm sick of wasting time "fixing" my device - who will figure out a way to make these things WORK???

    Thank you - I have read that support column many times.
    However, when I open the folder indicated by the article, the photos are NOT there.
    The last time my Photo Stream folder updated was April 2014. For awhile, my photos were uploading to a folder called iCloud Photos, with a sub-folder called Photo Stream.  The last time that one updated was September 2014.  I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS.
    So, again, I ask - why aren't my photos synchronizing with my laptop via Photo Stream?  I have to connect the phone with a WIRE to my laptop and then I can backup my photos. (Which I do frequently, anyway, in order to save the photos permanently.)
    Why don't you guys invent something like Flickr - that AUTOMATICALLY synchronizes photos from my extremely expensive iPhone 6 to my other devices? That would be so handy.
    Sorry for being annoyed, but it's annoying.  Every time I try to do something with a photo, I have to figure out how to get it off my phone. I email, message, download, save to Dropbox, save to Flickr.  It's ridiculous.  If Photo Stream worked, I could just use that - it would be so SIMPLE I might actually be able to get to the project, instead of wasting time messing with the stupid photos.
    If there's something I'm doing wrong, I wish someone would help me.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards
    Susan 

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp and clear in online album

    I've been struggling thru this make-an-album thing and will not given up. I have continued to work thru this first album to be posted on line. I'm almost there. I've sorted thru the templates and only found one that shows my photos large enough to see and appreciate but they seem to be degraded - not sharp and clear. And that template cuts off my captions to the photos. I just want a slideshow, full screen, full resolution and with all my captions. I thought that was what Photoshop Elements 8 and my Adobe acct allowed me to do.
    I take a lot of pixs with a Pentax K20D at 14.5M.  I have not been able to share any of my photos, as taken, thru my email because they are too big.  Now it looks like PS8/Adobe dumbs they down.
    I'm new to this....so what am I missing????

  • Why do some photos not show in inspector

    iWeb Inspector not displaying all pictures in Apreture.  In an Event it will only show a couple of pictures when there is more

    Try closing the camera app and the photos app, reset your iPad and then launch the photos app again. You will not lose any data when you reset the iPad this way.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why are my photos not displaying and exporting properly?

    I bought LR5 and have been using it for a few months with no problem. Out of nowhere, my photos don't export properly and my photos look worse in the "Library" module  than the "Develop" module. The photos are not sharp, noisy and the color and contrast are wrong. If I zoom to 1:1 in Library the problem fixes itself but the photos still will not export with all the edits I've made. It's NOT my computer screen so please do not suggest I re calibrate it. I am running on a MacBook Pro with Yosemite! Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Why are original photos now showing in events after editing in external editor?

    In iPhoto 9 before the more recent updates, when I edited photos in an external editor all I saw in the event was the revised photo. Now I see both the original and the revised copy. I know I can hide these but never had to do this before. In addition, if I use reveal in finder the file shows two copies in the original or master file, both appear to be the same though the additional one is designated 2. This could increase my photo file considerably. What is the purpose of this new procedure and can it be revised?
    Also, some of the context menu items removed and now one has to go to the menu or start learning the keyboard shortcuts. I am not sure that iPhoto has been improved.

    iPhoto has been doing this since iPhoto 11 (v9) was released, not since the recent update. Let Apple know how you feel if you're not happy.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    No, there is no way to change any of these things back.
