Why my 5s phone streams only 20 photos out of 300?

I set up the icloud to get photos streamed to my computer; However, it streamed randomly 20 pictures out of 300 pictures. What did I do wrong?

    My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream.  I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer.  I can't find how to sign on.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • Why will Photoshop Elements3 edit only 4 photos from iPhoto6?

    In iPhoto6, I have set "Edit Photo" to " In Photoshop Elements 3". When I select more than 4 photos to edit, only the last 4 selected photos appear in Photoshop Elements. In the past, it used to be possible to pass more than 4 photos to Photoshop Elements, but I don't remember if I was using iPhoto6 then. Does iPhoto6 have a 4 photo limit for external editing?

    It's just the nature of the beast(s). You can open multiples of 4 and then go to PS and do your thing.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HT3529 why is the phone number for imessage grayed out

    When I sign in with my apple ID and then click next, it grays out the phone number and i'm unable to use it. I don't want to use my email but it won't let me have access to my phone number. Please Help! Thanks.

    OK, try this:
    Sign back out of Messages and reset the phone (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, go back into Messages and sign back in again, and go through the prompts.
    Once you are done, see if your phone number is checked off. It will be greyed out:
    Cheers,

  • Why did photostream only sync 50 out of 170 photos to my new iphone?

    I purchased a new iphone 4s and turned on photostream. Only 50 of my photos synced to the new device. I've tried plugging my phone in to charge and syncing icloud when connected to wifi and...nothing. I have multiple pictures of my newborn son that I want to keep with me, but they won't sync to my phone.
    Any suggestions?
    Thnx.

    Where are the photos being synced from?
    Remember that photo stream only stores photos from a device (with camera, like iphone) after photo stream has been turned on - it won't take on old photos.  If the photos are currently on your computer (where copies should be), copy the photos you want to the photo stream album (on a mac, use iphoto).  Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days (a max of 1000 photos).
    Additional advice:
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  This is covered in the manual.

    We had to replace my husbands iphone. Everything but our photos have transferred to the new phone.  I made sure that the new device is showing up in find my iphone.  I have turned on photo stream on all devices.  Why aren't they streaming to new phone?

    Only photos taken in the last 30 days are transferred using Photo Stream.

  • My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
    To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
    Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select 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.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

  • How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

    How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac?  I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone!  I don't want all those pictures on my phone.  Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

    Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes.  Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached).  Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.

    thank you

    If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
    Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
    Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
    Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

  • Can someone explain to me why iTunes will only sync photos ONE WAY from my PC to my iPhone, and not vice versa?

    I have photos on my iPhone and want to put them on my PC.  Should be straightforward, right?
    So I go ahead and install iTunes, and plug in my phone, and sure enough iTunes tells me I've got 1610 photoes on my iPhone.  It won't let me actually SEE them, of course.  Fine (no, not really fine).  So I create a blank folder on my PC and proceed to do a sync.  My options are to (a) Sync FROM "My Pictures" to the phone, or (b) choose another and sync FROM my PC TO the phone. 
    Where is the option to sync FROM my phone TO my PC????
    It boggles my mind that I have to go outside of iTunes and use Windows Explorer to copy the photos from the phone to the computer.  So I go to "My Computer" and within the iphone Internal Storage there is only a DCIM folder and two sub-folders.  There are only 800 photos there!  Where are the other ones?
    Evidently what I can see from Windows Explorer is ONLY the pictures I took with the phone itself, and NOT the pictures I saved from email attachments or instant messages!  Why? Where are they and how can I access them???
    SO far, the closest thing I have been able to find is to have to buy a third party App like "Simple Transfer" to do this.  Is this really the case?  Or am I missing something?

    Photo sync is only one way, computer to iPhone.
    To get pictures from the iPhone to the computer, copy them to the computer as you would with any other device.
    Pictures saved from emails or instant messages (if done on the device) are in the camera roll.
    Pictures previously synced to the device from a computer are not available to be copied off the device.  They should already be on a computer.

  • Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

    I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
    When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
    My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
    Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

    You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
    What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
    As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
    This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
    Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary  if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

  • HT201077 How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone?

    How do I delete some photos from my photo stream only on my iPhone? I do not want the photos that haved been placed on my MAC and Ipad deleted, just my phone. I also want the videos off my phone.

    If you delete them from photo stream they will also be deleted on your other devices.  To keep them on your iPad, save them to the camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Save to Camera Roll).  To keep them on you Mac, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and check Automatic Import.  You can confirm that they are saved in your iPhoto library by clicking on Photo Stream on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My photo Stream album, then control-click on your photos.  If the pop-up says "Show in Library" they are safely stored in your iPhoto library. Then you can delete them from your phone and they will remain on your other devices.
    To import videos, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you only want to delete them go ahead.  Photo stream doesn't sync videos so this will have not impact on your other devices.

  • Why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

    why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
    Thanks,
