Why is Photo stream not updating on my MacBook?

Photostream is still very, very slow which is a little disappointing.. I have a very fast 100mbps down and 5mbps up Cable Internet connection so there is no problem there.
The main problem tha I have is the iPhoto seems to not want to update the Photostream. The photos have been slow to appear on ATV 2 and the iPad but have not appeared in iPhoto at all.
Any thoughts or tips?
Thanks in advance.

Forgive the obvious questions, but you don't say what you've tried.
Is the MacBook signed into the same iCloud account as the iPad and the ATV?
Did you turn on Photo Stream in the iCloud Panel of System Preferences?
Did you turn on Enable Photo Stream AND Automatic Import on the Photo Stream panel of Preferences... in iPhoto?

  • Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

    Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore.  I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures.  It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

    This issue is has been resolved.  The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • Why is my Photo stream not updating?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm running an iMac, iPhone and iPad, and have photo stream set up between them. I took some photos on my iPad, and set up a stream (to the best of my ability anyway - this is all abit new to me). The photos went to my iPhone easily enough, but I had to go into Tunes to look for them on my iPad. I asked iTunes to sync they did finally appear in iPhoto on my Mac.
    I then straightend and cropped them in iPhoto - these were clearly flagged up as being in Photo Stream - but this hasn't updated the photos on either my iPad or iPhone. Is it supposed to? I thought that's how the cloud worked? I have all boxes ticked in iCloud in iPhoto preferences.
    Any advice or info would be welcome. I'm not sure if this operator error, a cloud error, or I'm asking it to do something it can't.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • My Photo Stream not updating in new Photos app

    I do NOT have iCloud photo library on, so why won't My Photo Stream update?

    Same issue here. I installed iCloud 4.0 for Windows, but it looks like this started before I did that according to when the photos stopped syncing. I've done what you described, but have gotten no photos on the PC since September 7, 2014. Photos are being shared from my iPhone to iPad just fine, though.

  • Photo stream not updating on windows PC

    icloud used to work with my ipad and download the photos to My Photo Stream. It has stopped doing this. I have now connected an iphone to the cloud and all the photos have downloaded to it. Why will the photos not update to my windows PC?
    If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream it will only update some of the photos for a two week period. (back in November last year).
    Any assistance would be welcome.

    Hello,
    Sorry for the trouble. That shouldn't happen! I am Vineeth and I am from the Norton Support team.
    Can you please disable the Smart Firewall feature in your Norton product temporarily and see whether you can update the iCloud photos? If you can do that, then we may need to allow the iCloud application under the firewall.
    Thanks!

  • Photo stream not updating

    My Photo Stream is currently not updating in Photo's. The last picture imported from my photo stream was April 7th? Any trouble shooting for this? All preferences are checked to automatically upload pictures taken with my iPhone to my photo stream so they should be in the iCloud section of Photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try disabling both the My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing in Photos' iCloud Preference pane.  Close Photos, reboot, open and reenable them.  See if that will jumpstart the My Photo Stream.

  • Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
    I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

  • ICloud photo stream not updating

    I have been taking photos on my iPhone and I am having a couple of issues with photo stream
    1. It is only uploading photos I have taken today, all the photos I have taken previously are not uploading automatically. Is that a way I can do this?
    2. My iPad photostream isn't updating automatically, I am connected to wifi on both devices but I have to turn my iPad off then on again for the photos to upload.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)

  • HT201317 photo stream not updating

    Photos added to iPhone 4 Photo Stream folder do not update in PC folder.  iCloud is enabled on phone and Windows 7, phone is Wi-Fi connected.

    You may have enabled iCloud on your devices, but did you also turn on photo stream?  Check in Settings>iCloud on the iPhone.  Check the PC as well, but I don't know where that's done, as I use a Mac.

  • Photo stream not updating after Aperture update

    I installed ML and after I did that saw there was an update for Aperture 3.  So, I updated to 3.3.2.  Now, when I open up Photo Stream, it does not update.  My phone and iPad both update with the stream but not Aperture.  I checked all my settings and that is enabled.  Any clue as to the problem?
    Thanks!

    I have to wonder if this problem is somehow server related. I did had this problem, even over multiple restarts of Aperture. I fired up Aperture this morning and the sync worked.
    A couple of things that may contribute:
    1. This is a start of a new month. I wonder if that played into it.
    2. I rename my Photo Stream Project so that they will display in order alphabetically. Can't say if I had renamed a project of an active month previously, but I know i did that for July. The funny thing is my renamed July Project still synced correctly. In the future, I think I'll wait until the month is over to rename the project.

  • Shared Photo Streams Not Updating?

    About a week ago I realized my shared photo streams were not updating. I am not recieving any new photos that my friends are posting, and when I upload new photos they don't go to any of my friends' devices. How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    I have had the same problem - Shared Photo Streams (evidently) do not update dynamically. There is also no button to force an update in the photo app either.
    On your iDevice by going into Settings > Photos & Camera and switching off "Shared Photo Streams".  Go into your Photo app and check that they have been removed.
    Now go back into the same Settings sub-menu and re-enable "Shared Photo Streams".  Back in the Photo app, you will see the shared stream update with the correct photos.
    I have the exact same problem with any shared photo streams I create on my iPhone - they do not appear on my iPad unless I do the above.  The same goes for iPhoto/Aperture on my Mac.

  • Why is photo stream not synching across multiple devices?

    I am using an iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Pro - all with Photo Stream enabled on the same account - yet the photos in my individual photo streams are no identical across all. There are a handful of photos that in the stream that I can find on all of my devices, but at the same time, each device also has a number (sometimes quite a few) that are only on that particular device, despite it appearing on that device's photo stream.  How can I sync them so that they all have the same photos? I thought that was the purpose of photo stream...

    Photostream is streaming, not syncing service. So every device that you have will have photos from the time that photostream was enabled on that device. As long as photostream folder exists in your iphoto, you can force pictures into it. Just move or copy those pictures in photostream folder in iphoto on your Macs. They will get moved into icloud and downloaded to other devices. Remember that photostream is not designed to hold your pictures forever, just 30 days or 1000 pictures. Once 30 days is over it still stays on your computers, but is not in the cloud anymore.

  • Photo stream not updating in Photos on iMac

    My photos stream is working on iPhone and iPad but not on the iMac - it accesses photos from about 10 days ago, that's from before Photos was installed but it won't automatically pick up new photos taken on iPhone or iPad since Photos replaced iPhoto.
    If I mail the new photos to myself I can import them into my photo library but they aren't appearing in the photo stream.
    I have iCloud photo sharing turned off because I have w-a-a-ay too many photos in my library to store that way. Shouldn't Photo Stream work independently of iCloud photo sharing?

    I was able to force a download of my photostream by disabling Automatic Import and Automatic Upload in Preferences>Photostream.
