Why aren't my photos auto syncing between my devices in the cloud?

My pictures on my iPhone have stopped automatically appearing on my iPad. How can I get them to start
Again?

Have you checked....?
Settings>iCloud>Photos>Photo Stream>On. And Settings>Photos & Camera>My Photo Stream>On.

  • Syncing metadata across devices using the Cloud

    I decided to authorize my work computer for iTunes Match. My main library is on my home computer. Once I saw all my music in the cloud on my work computer, I decided to do a little tweaking of the metadata. I didn't download the songs first, just changed the metadata. When I updated Match, the metadata went back to the way it was before. Do I need to download the songs to the local machine first before metadata changes will stick and sync to other devices? Or can I only make metadata changes on the home library?

    Metadata changes (which can only be made from iTunes) are reflected immedietely on other Match-enabled iTunes libraries, but cause duplicates to be created on iOS devices.
    For example, I changed the genre of song after it had been matched. It now appears under the old genre and the new one. I deleted the song from iTunes and iCloud, which removed it from my iPhone. However, when I added the song back in to iTunes and uploaded it to iCloud the duplicates appeared on my iPhone once again.
    It's as if iCloud keeps a copy of every version of every song we match/upload just like Photo Stream. I just wish there was a Reset iTunes Match button.
    Apple really needs to fix these bugs if they're going to take money from people and not extend ther subscription.

  • Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

    I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

  • Why won't my iBook bookmarks sync between my devices

    Well I like to read on my iPad but when I'm out I read on my iPhone. For some reason whenever I use the red bookmark button on my iPad, it doesn't come up on my iPhone and I have to find where I left off on my iPhone which can be very difficult sometimes! I was just wondering if anyone new how to sync my bookmarks over my devices. I have made sure that sync bookmarks is on in settings but it still doesn't want to do it!

    Hi Ronda,
    I got my External to work shortly after posting my original post. I figured I would post my solution in case anyone else is facing the same thing.
    I could not find any trace of the hard drive on my mac but i figured out the problem was lack of power. I upgraded my external's enclosure from one that used one plug (data and power on one usb port) to one that used two plugs on one cable (data on one plug, power on another) and it properly powered my drive and I was then able to find it in Disk Utility and format it to work. It is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). It has functioned properly since then. As far as using firewire vs. USB, I (at this moment, at least) have no need to boot from the external, so i don't see the need in using it. However, firewire is pretty new to me and I have never used it before so if there are other benefits to using it over usb, i would love to know. Especially since my external currently takes up both of my USB ports unless I use a hub or plug the power part of the cable into a USB wall charger or something like that to free the other port up.
    Thanks,
    Geoffery

  • Why aren't Mac Photos pictures appearing in iCloud - and on the iPad?

    I'm helping a friend with his MacBook running 10.3.3 and iPad with iOS 8.3
    The iCloud Photos option is on on both devices, but he hasn't seen any photos from his Mac on his iPad yet.
    If we login to icloud.com he can seem some photos, but they all appear to be ones he took with is iPad - none from his Mac.
    According to the docs it should "just work" if the settings are turned on on both devices.
    What else can we try?
    Also, is there any way of knowing ahead of time how much iCloud storage will be required? My best guess is that it will be about 10 GB and so he will need the 20 GB storage option, but he has not been prompted for a storage upgrade yet.
    Thanks,
    doug

    Pretty sure it is awake, but I'll check it out.
    This machine is my "music source" and my wife uses it to listen to the radio throughout iTunes.
    Might be that I need to update a password on that machine.....I had to change my mac account password recently and may have missed entering it for some service.....

  • HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

    My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?  I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel.  I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes.  I have reset my photo stream.  Not sure what else to try...   I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa.  Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not.   Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Can Lion server keep my photos in sync between two macs?

    can Lion server keep my photos in sync between two macs?  Where should I keep them, we have Aperture 3 and my wife still likes iphoto '11.  I've already tried plenty of 3rd party solutions with little success.  I simply want my MBP to "mirror" the imac with the exception of iMovie footage.  Is this what the server app can do?  I am bad enough with computers, but even thinking about a server gives me migraines!

  • Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

    Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

    So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working?  I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case.  Are they going to fix this anytime soon?  I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
    I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections.  I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this.  Still not ideal.

  • How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

    How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

  • I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

    I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
    Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
    Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi there scarbo59,
    You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

  • Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

    Hi,
    why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
    Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
    Thx
    Markus

    If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
    How are you"merging" the photos?
    most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
    select one and show event to see the event
