Why doesn't photo stream keep me signed in?

Sometimes my photos from other devices dont appear on my MBP. When I go to photostream, i find that im not signed in. Even though I have selected 'Enable Photostream. upload automatically, and automatic upload.' When I notice that my pictures are not being imported from my other ios device, I go to photostream and get the sign in page.

Long shot.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

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.

Why doesn't photo stream for iCloud control panel allow network drives?

I have just installed the iCloud control panel for my PC and was very excited about the possibilities that it would open up for my numerous i-devices and large photo library. The simple setup works just fine by putting my photo stream files into the default 'My Pictures' folder. Unfortunately, that is not where I keep my pictues, they are all organized on a mapped network drive (local network). The photo stream options in the iCloud control panel do not allow me to select a network drive as a storage location.
Is the inability to select a network drive for storage a deliberate decision or is this a bug?

I am experiencing the same problem
This is really frustrating! What is the technical difficulty in making this available? This disables all users who use NAS from using Photo Stream.
What a huge oversight.

I have a iMac with lion 10.7.4. I had to turn on Photo Stream several times in order for pictures to download. Why doesn't Photo Stream stay on?

I have a iMac with Lion 10.7.4. Ive had to turn Photo Stream on several time in order for pictures to download. Should Photo Stream stay on?

That's an all to frequent problem. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file and then reset all of the preferences in iPhoto. That may do the job.

Uninstall and then reinstall the iCloud control panel on your computer.

HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
This solved the problem:
1. Log into appleid.apple.com
2. Set the language.
The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.

Photo stream unable to sign in (Apple TV 2)

Trying to set up photo stream on the Apple TV 2, getting an 'Unable to Sign In' error. iTunes Match worked without a problem but the photo stream refuses to sign in

I figured out a way to fix this with my new Apple TV!
After trying EVERYTHING!...(Trust me, I had tried EVERYTHING!) including restoring Apple TV to the original factory settings....reconiguring in every-which possible way.....
Here's what I did to make it work.
I happened to be in the "Settings" app of my iPhone, where I did something with the calendar settings for iCloud.
There, it prompted me to read the new "Terms & Conditions". I agreed to them and then went directly to my Apple TV and it immediately worked.
This was after WEEKS of trying EVERYTHING!
So the key is to get an Apple device to prompt you with the new "Terms & Conditions". Once you've agreed to it, you should find that Apple TV will let your PhotoStream work again!
Hope that helps!

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Photo Stream keeps all photos - why??

Frankly I'm getting jacked off with the dicking around I have to do, to maintain my mac and other apple products.
All the photos in my photo stream never get deleted automatically. They are supposed to last 30 days - as of today, April 2nd 2013, I have images back to August 2012. Why? Surely they are supposed to be deleted after 30 days?
This is causing me problems with my iPad for space - I have no images on the iPad but aparently 1Gb is being used. I switched off photo stream but it seems to hold a memory of these images.

With respect - read your comments.

If you switch off photostream then the images must be on the device. Hence my comment.

Why does Photo Stream keeps switching itself off?

Hello
I use Photo Stream, but I sometimes wonder what the point is as I have found it to be extremely temperamental. Probably 90 per cent of the time I start up iPhoto, I find that Photo Stream has switched off on its own and of course I then have to spend a valuable minute or two switching it back on again. Sometimes new photos do not sync to Photo Stream as a result. This odd glitch has gotten increasingly irritating with time and I would love to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in anticipation!
PS - I am using the latest version of iPhoto

Do you have more than one library? If you do each time you change libraries you will need to activate PhotoStream for that library as PhotoStream can only be activated on one library at a time.
If you only have one library try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Why does photo stream keep shutting off on my pc?

When I open my iCloud control panel, at first I can see that it's checked off - then when the program is fully open and allowing me to input I notice that the photo stream box is now unchecked. I check it (turn it on) again and click apply. Then I click try to access my Photo Stream on PC and it tells me Photo Stream is not enabled - go turn it on in the iCloud control panel. Been there - done that. I'm also using the iPhoto app on my iPad - don't know if this causes conflict??

The iPhoto app on your iPad is not the cause of this problem.
Try uninstalling the iCloud application from your computer. Then reinstall it following the links provided at http://www.apple.com/ca/icloud/setup/pc.html

Does photo stream keep my pictures forever?

My wife's iPhone is out of space. She has 8 gb of pictures and videos. She is signed up for extra back up storage online with apple.
If we delete photos and videos from iPhone, will they still be retained in the cloud? If not, can we make them be retained in cloud or photo stream forever?

The only photo stream photos that stay in iCloud indefinitely are photos added to a shared stream (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). (Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.) The only issue with this is that they will be a lower resolution than the originals in your camera roll (3.1-3.5 megapixels).
Also, adding them to photo stream or a shared stream doesn't save any room on your phone because a copy will still be on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud.
If you want to store your photo on the internet and still have access to them to view from your phone, use a service that is designed for that such as Flikr, Smugmug, etc. You can also consider an alternative cloud service such as Dropbox.
Whatever you do, you should back them up on your computer by importing them from the camera roll with your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
