Why do I only see iCloud pictures (not photo stream) when I connect my iPhone 5 to my computer?

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop, I can only see iCloud pictures instead of Photo Stream. I want to upload photos from my Photo Stream. Should I change a setting on my phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using iCloud photo library then your photo stream photos aren't on your phone. Your phone sends photos to photo stream (if enabled) so they can sync over air with your computer.

Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
What's gone wrong?

Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:

Why can't I see some pictures in my library when trying to export?

Honestly, it's a bit hard to say. No need to be quite so stingy with information.
As a conundrum, I'd guess that some of your images have off-line Masters. Aperture cannot export images with off-line Masters.

When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

When I connect my Iphone 4 to my computer I no longer get the option to move photos from iphone to computer. also i do not think my driver is operating. what to do?

When I connect my iphone four to my computer I no longer get the option to load photos from phone to computer. I think i have a driver problem as well. What should I do?

The AutoPlay function on the computer is controlled in Control Panel. Also, there needs to be current photos that have not been imported to the phone for it to start, and also the phone needs to be unlocked if you have a passcode on it. If you have not been prompted to "Trust" the computer on the iPhone and answered that, it will also make a difference.
Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? What makes you think that you have a driver problem? You can take a look at Step 5 in this support document to see if that helps your driver problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Why can I only see my pictures on my second screen?

I can only see my pictures on the seconds screen.
on the main screen of my laptop all the pictures are grey. All the metadata is still there. The changes and the classifications are also still available.
But I can't see any picture. Not on the main screenn, not in the filmstrip and not in the navigator.
This worked without a problem for about two years till now.
The strangest part is that i can still see everuthing on the second screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I allready reinstalled the LR software again.

Flickr app on Apple TV is rudimentary, needs a lot of improvement such as being able to see all photos (scrolling through 500 at a time if memory is a problem), searching sets, seeing Collections. So I really don't use it except as a screen saver for the most recent photos. Until they improve the app, I display photos via an iPad or iPhone mirroring from the Flickr app, Flickr Studio, or Fickstackr. Far more convenient, too.

I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

Why my pics and videos are separate in several files when I connect my Iphone 4s to my Windows 8.1

When I connect my iPhone with windows 8.1 I can't find my pictures cause since a week ago I have many different files. I'd like to regroup all my pics and videos together in just one file.

Hello Steve Hengen,
I apologize for the delay.
I have test in my own environment and can normally map the network driver when logon as Microsoft account.
Do you check the option Reconnect at logon?
If you use Connect using different credentials, do you check the option Remenber my credentials?
Please take a look at the following article about map a network drive.

You are installing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver, which I did not have to do previously, so something in the updates has been left out / or changed.

When I connect my iPhone and ipad my computer does not recognise them

I have dropbox and I require my computer to upload files from my devices so i can backup.
When I plug any of my devices in they charge so its not the cords.
When I plug a devices in (Ipad or Iphone) should they appear in finder?
I can locate them in Iphotos to download the photos but this is time consuming as im double handling.
Dropbox is now also no longer automatically syncing photos from my phone (I have ask dropbox for support also)
It cant seem to find the devices when I plug them in... When i go into itunes I can sync to my phone but not from my phone... Which it has just filled my phone up with photos from my computer that I now can't delete of my phone at all I have posted this issue already..
I have just looked up lots of videos on utube on how to fix this but I can seem to find anything. I really want to delete the 1500 photos and videos of my phone but when i go into itunes my itunes looks different to the one on all utube videos...
Info in about my macs
Mac os x (not sure what mac it is its big and its 2012 model)
version 10.7.5
I have also got a mac book air (same probelms)
I am trying to connect a iphone 4 & 4s and ipad 2 & 3
Ive updates my itunes and dropbox (on computer) today to see if this could be the issue and its not..
Please help or any suggestions are very appreciated

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

Why can I only see 500 pictures from my Flickr account?

I just got a 3rd gen Apple TV and was trying to use the Flickr app however I can't see all the photos on my account. I have a set of 1,200 pictures on my Flickr account all set to public but I'm only able to see 500 of those pictures. The name of the set shows up but not all the pictures in the set. I don't have a pro account if that matters.
Thanks!
JM

Why can I only see iCloud email from the last 4 months? Where have all my old emails gone?

I was trying to track down an old email from November last year and having used the search tool with no luck resorted to scrolling through the weeks. I then discovered to my horror that I didn't have any emails beyond 1/12/13 !!
I have subsequently checked online using iCloud and the results are the same. Where have all my emails gone? I have been a MobileMe member since it started and pay for increased storage - which I am no where near utilising - how can I retrieve the 'missing' old emails? I have many Apple devices and it appears they are mssing on them all....

You might want to go to icloud.com and open your calendar, then click the gear icon and choose Preferences, then make sure you aren't hiding old events on the Advanced tab.
