Why do my phone's photos not get uploaded to icloud drive automatically?

For e.g when i used windows phone, the moment i took a photo it used to get uploaded to skydrive and i could see it on my PC.
Apple doesn't have a similar service?

Hello nealfromshanghai,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This feature is called Photo Stream on your iOS device, as well as with the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows PC.  To learn more about this feature please read the article linked to below.

  • Why doesn't photo stream work?  my photos do not get uploaded?

    my photos dont get uploaded to photo stream? why?it stopped uploading 2 weeks ago it is supposed to do it automatically once u have a wi fi connection ( or 3g )..

    I'll assume you are talking about an iOS device that takes photos. 
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.  If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos.  For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

  • I lost my phone. Is there anyway I can get my most recent photos, notes, etc. onto my iCloud?

    I lost my phone. Is there anyway I can get my most recent photos, notes, etc. onto my iCloud before someone deletes my files?

    If you had not already setup iCloud on the device before you lost it, then no - there is no way. If you had already setup iCloud, your data would automatically be in iCloud.

    Hi Melissa_C!
    I have an article for you that may help shed light on this circumstance:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    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 many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    Hey grandkids7k,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • On a west Texas highway I believe my old 3G iphone could get data with 3 bars. My new 4S could make phone calls but not get data. An att guy told me it's because there aren't enough 4G towers yet. Other explanations?

    On a west Texas highway I believe my old 3G iphone could get data with 3 bars. My new 4S could make phone calls but not get data. An att guy told me it's because there aren't enough 4G towers yet. Other explanations?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • JAR file does not get uploaded to client for my SERVLET generated APPLET

    Some help please...
    I have a servlet that generates the HTML code that contains an APPLET. This APPLET needs a JAR file that is listed under its ARCHIVE property. The SERVLET is in a JAR file that is in the same directory as the other needed JAR file. If I create a static HTML with the output of the SERVLET it works fine. But if go through Weblogic the needed JAR file does not get uploaded to the client so I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:and my APPLET does not load.
    Q1: I am not sure what to put under the CODEBASE tag. I tried "." and I also tried "http://mymachine" but both did not work. I also tried without the CODEBASE tag. No luck. The SERVLET is bound to http://mymachine/servlet.
    Q2: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Is there a way to force the browser to upload a certain JAR file?
    Thanks...

    It works!!
    This is what I did:
    The jar file in question was the weblogic.jar. I tried putting it under the lib directory of my war file but I had problems because the weblogic.jar contains other war files inside so when I tried to deploy my war file it also tried to deploy the inner war files which for some reason did not work. So I tried removing the war files from the weblogic.jar and this time I had no problems deploying my war file but I still could not find the classes I needed. So I tried moving the weblogic.jar to the root dir of my war file and it worked!! Now the trick here was: I did not set the CODEBASE AND I had the ARCHIVE paramenter set in TWO places like below:
    <APPLET CODE = "marketmap.client.MarketMapApplet"
    ARCHIVE = "weblogic.jar"
    WIDTH = "657"
    HEIGHT = "382"
    ALIGN = "BOTTOM"
    ALT = "APPLET tag not recognized">
    </XMP>
    <PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "MyApplet" >
    <PARAM NAME = "type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2">
    <PARAM NAME = "scriptable" VALUE="false">
    <PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE="weblogic.jar">
    </APPLET>
    Actually if you do not place a parameter named ARCHIVE (at the end) it wil NOT work. I tried with multiple jar files listed and it works great too.
    Anyway I figure I'd share. Thanks for the help too.
    Lastly for people who choose not to upload the jar files to clients, you should look at the bea documentation on applets. It lists a classpath servlet that allows you to provide classes to the clients without having to force them to download the jar file.

  • HT5824 does notes get backup to icloud?

    does notes get backup to icloud?

    There is some evidence to suggest they might, but as yet I haven't seen a positive confirmation.

  • HT4623 I have a iphone 4s.  I let it upgrade to new OS.  It will not get past the icloud terms and conditions.  I've view them and agreed many times.  It will not proceed.  What do I need to do?

    I have a iphone 4s.  I let it upgrade to new OS.  It will not get past the icloud agree to terms and conditions.  I've review and agreed to all conditons.  It just stays on the terms and conditions.

    It's so simple.  Press Cntl+Alt+Del, I mean, just like Microsoft, reboot and try again.
