Why do only a small portion of my photos get synced to my PC?

I setup iCloud when it first came out over a year ago. My iCloud says that there are 2gbs+ of photos there, but when I try to sync them back to my PC, only photos that I've taken since about a month ago get synced back, which is about 30mbs worth of data. There is obviously a lot more photos sitting in the cloud somewhere, how do I get them back to my PC!! I'm using the guide given on the Apple website that involves the iCloud control panel, but it just isn't working. Please let me know how I can fix this or a different way to get my photos back.

Hi Bewildered User,
Here is an article about Photo Stream that may help explain what is going on:

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.
This article has different methods for importing your photos:

  • Only a small portion of my photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone go to the cloud then to my iPad. I only have 150 pictuures so it can be a capacity issue??  Any advice ?

    OK, so it's working the way it is supposed to. With any device that is retrieving photo stream photos from the cloud, it will only retrieve back to the time that photo stream was turned on for that device.
    Now that you have it turned on, any photos you take will show up in photo stream for either device from now on.
    Hope that helps!

  • Including Only A Small Portion of Original Text

    I'm trying to create a <div> tag that will reference a
    long article via <?php include()?> but would like for the
    <div> container to only show the first few lines or
    paragraphs from the included document.
    I found an easy way to use javascript to toggle the
    visibility of two div tags with unique id's and am trying to create
    the first div as a "teaser" or "snippet" of the entire article with
    a "Read More" link at the bottom that will hide the snippet and
    display the full article.
    I'm having a hard time figuring out how to reference only a
    small portion of the complete article inside of the first div
    element. Is there some way that this might be possible to do?
    Reducing the height of the div with CSS does seem to work. Anybody
    have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    ~Greg

    maybe you'd better use only one div, and toogle its style via
    javascript. In that div, only the
    toogle link would need to change.
    That would be easier and more efficient in my opinion.
    for example, if your div ID is "divID", this javascript
    should work:
    function toogleDiv(myToogle,theDiv){
    var divId = theDiv
    if(myToogle == "teaser"){
    document.getElementById(divID).style.height = "auto"
    document.getElementById("toogleDiv").innerHTML = '<a
    href="javascript:;"
    onClick="toogleDiv(\'full\',divID)">Read full
    article</a>'
    }else{
    document.getElementById(divID).style.height = "30px"
    document.getElementById(divID).style.overflow = "hidden"
    // you can add styles to your div using the aboce construct
    document.getElementById("toogleDiv").innerHTML = '<a
    href="javascript:;"
    onClick="toogleDiv(\'teaser\',divID)">close</a>'
    and in your HTML:
    <div id="someId">
    <p id="toogleDiv"><a href="javascript:;"
    onClick="toogleDiv('teaser','someId')">Read full
    article</a></p>
    <?php include(yourtext.txt); ?>
    </div>

  • Print (&preview) only prints small portion of page

    When I use print preview, I see only a small portion of the upper left hand corner of the page, and if I try and print, that's exactly what prints.
    I can scale down smaller to see the entire page, but it is still displayed in that small corner, and when printed is also reduced in size.

    Thanks for response.
    I should have added that I had tried that reset you suggested earlier, and now that entry isn't there any more. But it didn't help.
    Then, just now I tried the third suggestion in the list. Everything was as it should be, right sized paper, no multiple pages/sheet, etc.
    BUT, without changing anything, when I went back to try it again, it seems to be fixed.
    I'm a little more confused, but I'll take a win no matter how I get it. ;-)

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
    Thanks

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

  • Elements11 QUE: Why does only the audio-portion transfer to timeline when I drag a video file down.

    Elements11 - 1st time user
    When I drag a known good video file from the "My Videos" Folder on my laptops disk down to the "Drag Here" box in my project Timeline, only the audio portion transfers NOT the video.
    I am trying to create an "Instant Movie" after watching a youtube video on the subject.
    The end goal is to combine portions of three video clips into one for my sons school project.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Elements11DRC
    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Can we assume by your selected ID, that the program is Premiere Elements 11?
    Pending further details, I will assume that you are working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Where is this "My Videos" Folder - on a DVD disc being used as a DataDisc for video storage purposes?
    If so, Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer and from there automatically into the project in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
    If your "My Videos" Folder is a folder on the computer hard drive, then Add Media/Files and Folders to get the video into Project Assets from where you drag the video to the Timeline.
    Now for the video that you are trying to import...what are its properties
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlaced or Progressive
    File Extension
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    Probably answered the easiest by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
    Prime interest, that video compression. It could be MotionJPEG which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. It could be AVCHD.avi which cannot be imported.
    We can go into greater detail on your project details once we rule in or out any of the factors mentioned above.
    By the way, what is the destination for this project....burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray...export to file saved to the computer hard drive...other?
    More later.
    Thanks.

  • Why would only a one picture from a folder be syncing from iTunes to my iPad?

    When I sync photos from iTunes to my iPad only the first picture in each folder is transferred. This used to work fine, but I've started using the camera connection kit and I've upgraded the iOS version to the 4.3.2. Don't know for sure when it stopped working.

    Found another discussion that referenced this problem. Solution was to unclick the read-only attribute for each of the photos. For Windows 7, this can be done by right-clicking on the folder to be synced with your iPad and selecting Properties. Unfortunately, it does not change the read-only attribute for the subfolders, and so I was only able to sync one large folder versus a folder of folders. I don't know why iTunes cannot sync read-only files since it should not be modifying them. Hopefully, this will be fixed on the next iTunes release.

  • GZipStream Decompression only returns small portion of original file

    I've been trying to use GZipStream to decompress a file originally created with gzip (default settings).  The gzipped file inflates to one file of 5,120,001 KB (~5GB) using gzip -d.  There are no errors and the inflated file matches the original
    byte-for-byte.
    Using the GZipStream to inflate the file with the exact code from Microsoft's example for .NET 4.5 (the Decompress() method) produces a file with roughly the first 500 MB of the original input file.
    I've found some evidence online that others have encountered this problem before and Microsoft says it's been fixed in the latest version of .NET but, using VS 2013 Premium with Update 4 and .NET 4.5.2, I still can't recover my file.  No error, the
    .CopyTo() method just returns.  The code does work for smaller gzip files (~2KB).
    Is this really working for files larger than 4GB?  If so, what do I need to do, please?  If not, well, ditto.
    Happy Holidays to all and thanks for any help.

    Dear Fred,
    Thank you for your response.  The compressed file comes from a UNIX server that used gzip to deflate a large (5GB) text file.  Let's call the original file LARGE.TXT and the deflated file LARGE.TXT.GZ (the names are immaterial but help exposition). 
    LARGE.TXT is 5,120,001 KB and LARGE.TXT.GX is 479,502 KB.  Gzip and WinZip have no difficulty inflating the deflated file and the result is LARGE.TXT in both cases.
    The code is straightforward.  betterName is just a more descriptive name for the output file (fileToDecomress.Name if some great, long, system generated name from the original Unix server).
    public static void Decompress(FileInfo fileToDecompress, string betterName)
    using (FileStream originalFileStream = fileToDecompress.OpenRead())
    string newFileName = betterName.Remove(betterName.Length - 3);
    using (FileStream decompressedFileStream = File.Create(newFileName))
    /* (1) */ using (GZipStream decompressionStream = new GZipStream(originalFileStream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
    decompressionStream.CopyTo(decompressedFileStream);
    Running this produces a file, call it LARGEfragment.TXT, that is roughly 512MB or the first ~10% of LARGE.TXT.  That is, ~90% of LARGE.TXT is missing in LARGEfragment.TXT but the text that is present, is correct.
    Smaller gzipped files (that inflate to ~1GB), say SMALL.TXT.GZ, from the same server are inflated by the above code to SMALL.TXT exactly as expected.  Files of about 2K also work fine.  Thus, it seems the class works properly except for large files. 
    I have about 10TB of these large files to inflate and work with - almost all are 5+ GB when inflated (the server splits logs into 5GB chunks, gzips them, then archives them).  None of the large files I've tried work - all of the smaller ones I've
    tried do work.
    I tried replacing /* (1) */ in the above code with the DeflateStream class:
    /* (2) */ using (DeflateStream decompressionStream = new DeflateStream(originalFileStream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
    This produced a "Block type not recognized" error.
    It's strange.  GZipStream is based on zlib now and so is the Unix gzip.  zlib can work with arbitrary file sizes (up to 16 exabytes, I believe) as long as the "long" type on the system used to compile zlib is 64 bits.  If "long"
    is only 32 bits, file size is limited to 4GB.  Might this have anything to do with it?
    Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

  • Flip4Mac WMV Query: Why it only export a portion of the QT movie?

    Hello all.
    I downloaded, installed and purchased the "pro version" of Flip4Mac WMV for QuickTime. My QT is QuickTime Pro, enabling me to within a QT movie, export it to various movie format, including Window's .wmv format.
    But this problem has been "bugging" me since Day 1 I use Flip4Mac, when I choose to export a QT movie to a .wmv format, it does not export the entire movie (in whole, in length), but almost just export half of the length of the QT movie -- hence I am not getting the .wmv mov in whole.
    Has anyone encounter this problem, and if there is any fix to this?
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi TopoTone, it's OK.
    Yes, when I am in the Flip4Mac WMV Preference Pane, I see my name, a serial number and it says "Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro". 3 buttons choice of Upgrade License, Change Serial Number and Deactivate Number.
    Now it's my turn to "sound stupid" but since I know very little about Flip4Mac; Please don't tell me that Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro itself do not have the feature to export a .wmv file as a whole? Is that why I am facing? That I need to at least upgrade to a Flip4Mac WMV Studio??
    Thanks and cheers

    Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

    wallpaper under IE was about 75% of screen. Under FF now about 10%.

    Is this about the Windows desktop wallpaper?
    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Why won't a purchased game on iPod Touch get synced over to iTune library?

    Just purchased as a direct download to the iPod Touch the X-Plane 9 game for $9.99. I was under the assumption that the next time the Touch is synced to my main computer via iTunes that the app would be copied over as a safety backup? Is this not the case? Or might I be doing something wrong? And if it did get copied over to my iTunes library on my main computer, where might I find it?
    Thanks, John

    Dear John,
    I have a couple questions for you.
    Do you still have the game on your iPod? I would assume that it is also not listed in iTunes. If this is the case, go to the app store on your computer and re-download that app. You will not be charged for the download if you already purchased it. If you still have questions - call 1800MYAPPLE.
