Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID: an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together. Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream. More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.) The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way? I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream. Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running? I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time. It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream? I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

IPhoto 08 - Loosing photos, iPhoto automatically deletes from hard drive!

Hi,
I am using iPhoto 08 v 7.1.5 on Max OS X 10.6.4
We are 2 users sharing the same iPhoto library and after ongoing issues with permissions I have moved the iPhoto library (as per Apple's instructions) to a Sparse Disk Image on the Shared folder and changed the permissions for all to rear&write - then copied the library to this Disk Image and pointed all iPhoto libraries there.
Worked well until we started to import photos from a camera. From my profile it imported the photos, but then when copying them to the library come up with an error 'File is corrupt'. I started iPhoto in shift&option mode and repaired permissions. This fixed it and I could import.
The other user imported photos yesterday from their profile. No errors on import and the photos were property loaded into the library. I did check the library AND the files in the Finder - all was well. 2 hours later, ALL FILES HAD GONE!!! There were no trace of the files. Not in the trash (iPhoto or System) - I searched the whole drive, GONE!!!
I am a bit freaked, if iPhoto is going to delete files permanently from the drive its NOT good. The photos were already deleted from the camera so they are gone for good.
Has anyone experienced the same or got an explanation??
Appreciate any help with this!
Cheers
Chris

I've seen this mentioned on here a couple of times. Tracing it with these other users what seems to occur is that iPhoto imports the photos to the database but fails to copy the actual files into the Originals folder.
I'm not sure why this happens.
If you haven't used the camera since you can recover the files from the card with an app like MediaRecover

Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

My contacts keep being automatically deleted from my iPhone5. How do I stop this from happening?

yesterday i noticed my contacts were deleted after i took a phone call. i tried to manually re-add but they keep getting automatically deleted after a couple minutes. i restarted, resetted the device to no avail. i even restored from icloud and within an hour most of my contacts were deleted again. please help. i am beginning to get very frustrated.

On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Sync (in the Calendars section) and set this to All Events.
Not sure about your Mac. Try going to icloud.com, opening your calendar, clicking on the gear icon on the lower left and choose preferences, then on the Advanced tab make sure you haven't checked Hide Events next to Old Events.

Why are my emails automatically deleting?

I have 3 email accounts set up on my iPhone. A hotmail, yahoo & a exchange.livemail account.
The hotmail and yahoo ones work fine but the exchange.livemail account deletes all of my inbox when I turn the phone off! The sent messages and trash ones are still there but not the inbox
Any ideas as to why this is happening?! This is my work account and its getting really annoying!
Please help!!!

Thank you for your reply Irving.
In reply to your answer Iam not going online and deleting them from my pc and I have checked the settings for that account and they all seem correct. Nothing is set to delete automatically.
Having said that I cant find a setting for 'email account set to remove from the server once they're downloaded to your iPhone'.

After my photo in photo stream exceeded 1000photos, what happen to the old photos? Is it automatically deleted from my photo stream? How do i get it back those photos?

can anyone help me on this matter?

Once they're deleted, you can't get them back. You're supposed to save them before this happens. To do this, save them to your camera roll (by tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If the missing photo stream photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, then would be included in the backup. Restoring the backup should recover them.

Why are search queries automatically cleared from search bar? How to turn this off?

Every time I search, the search bar query automatically clears itself 5-30 seconds later. I find this annoying and am just trying to determine if it is a FF feature or an add-on and how to turn it off.

Maybe this extension: Second Search 0.7.2012122901
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

When I get an email with a pic in and I go to reply a box drops Dow and asks "save photo" when I click on that it "seems" like nothing happens, bot are they being automatically saved someplace, where?

If photos are saved they go to the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

Photos are no being successfully emailed from either my iPhone nor my iPad

Photos are not being successfully emailed from either my iPhone nor my iPhone

What does this mean exactly?
If an email is successfully sent with the photos attached, what happens to the email and the attachments after that has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device that successfully sent the email.

Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they?

Backed up photos that were deleted from iPad, where are they? Cannot find on pc or iTunes.

X2 on King_Penguin's reply, however, those files are hidden by default. I'm on Windows 7. You'd click on your "Start", click on "Computer", click on "Organize" up on the top of the window and click on "Folders and Search Options". Check off the "Show all Folders" under Navigation pane. That will show all the hidden files. Then you can follow the directions King wrote above. Sorry, if you have a Mac, I don't know how to help you navigate to where the "Folders and Search Options" is. Google should be a good resource.
It's pretty simple once you find it. I was moving my back up file from my lap top to my desk top because I wanted to begin syncing my ipad and iphone to my desk top. Once I unhid the files, I copied it to a thumb drive, uploaded it to my desk top and voila. Just make sure when you are done you check the box to hide the files again. You don't want to leave them vulnerable.
Hope this helps.
