#Windows_7: iCloud doesn't sync old photos

Windows 7 SP1 HP 64-bit
I've taken photos and synced them with iCloud on my iPhones for a few years.
Before reinstalling my Windows, I've had part of them synced to my iCloud folder on PC. Since reinstalling Windows and settin up iCloud control panel for the second time, it has downloadedn only less than a year's worth of photos (out of a few years)
Additionaly:
It hardly ever syncs new photos from iOS devices to computer thru iCloud (even after being connected to wi-fi for two weeks)
Doesn't upload most of photos from iOS device to photostream, even though chosen so in Settings & online
The question is: how do I gain access to all of my iCloud photos? They are no longer in my iDevices' photostreams (older than 30 days, not deleted from the photostream) and my PC won''t sync anything older than a couple months.

If they are still on your iOS device, either in the camera roll or the my photo stream album, add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).

  • My iphone 4S doesn't sync my photos in itunes

    please help... my iphone 4S used to sync my photos in my pc thru itunes but about a month ago... it doesn't sync my photos anymore... i've been searching online for solutions & how can i resolve this problem... please help... thank you in advance

    iTunes only syncs photos one way: from your computer to your phone.  If that is what you are trying to do, make sure you have selected to sync photos on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, including any folders containing the photos you want transferred to your phone, then sync.

  • "Messages" doesn't sync old messages from my iphone

    Hello there,
    I've got a problem since few weeks. Actually Messages app from my macbook doesn't sync old messages from my iPhone. It does sync new messages, that i'm sending from now, but it didn't take the olds. I would like to sync everything, knowing that "Messages" has very old messages which aren't more on my iPhone and that I want to keep.
    So to resume : Messages app has got very old messages. My iPhone has got new ones. Very new text messages (since today) are saved on both. And I want to sync on Messages app messages which aren't there.
    I hope it's understandable, sorry for my english ^^

    Hi,
    Messages on the Mac will only sync iMessages from the time the iPhone and a Mac are linked by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone and then the pop up accepted on the Mac to add the iPhone number to the list of Alternatives.
    This means that a New Mac will not get older iMessages from the server (They actually no longer exist).
    iMessages are "duplicated" at the iMessages Severs and sent out (pushed) to the specific devices.
    Once that device has received the iMessage the iMessages is deleted from the server
    This may mean an iPhone has an iMessages and that "version" has been deleted from the iMessages server - whilst a version that is going to be sent to the Mac is waiting for the Mac to respond so it's version can be sent.
    iMessages are Pushed as it is called from the servers and not "fetched" like email are in the Mail app.
    So...
    A New iPhone will not get "old" iMessages that still show on a Mac.
    If the Mac is New (or the Mac User accounts is new)  and the iPhone has the "old" iMessages the Mac will only see/sync the "new" iMessages.
    There are ways of using iTunes to Save a Backup of the iPhone and tools that can be downloaded to "Save" older Messages to the Mac if they have not synced in Messages.
    However there is no method to get older iMessages on the Mac to put them on an iPhone

  • How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
    I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone. 
    I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them.  I also checked all of the other icloud setting. 
    Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke)  I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad.  I opened then closed the document and the app.  When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
    If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings.  Has to be there and active. 

  • Sync iphone 4 with lion doesn't sync my photos to iphoto

    I just downloaded lion and tried to sync my iphone 4 (verizon) now it doesn't snyc my photos from my phone to iphoto??

    I have a pretty similar problem. My iPhone 4S was last night updated to iOS6 then I tried to update some of my apps, but my app store says as following: Account not in this store. Your account is not valid in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Finnish store before purchasing.
    Ok. How do I switch it?
    These are old apps I've allready bought in the finnish store and now all prices in my app store is in dollars...
    How do I get my apps in order?

  • Photostream is syncing old photos from iPhoto

    Photostream is syncing 1000 of random old photos throughout my iPhoto library.  Because it is grabbing these 1000 photos it does not sync NEW pictures taken.  It supposed to sync the last 30 days pictures, but these pictures are from 2006-2008.  All photos are labeled correctly with the right time and date. I have resetted photostream from iCloud.   Whats the deal??  Am I the only person that is having this problem?!?!   Any possible solution is GREATLY appreciated.

    You can sync any photo(s) that are in iPhoto to Photostream.  Just click on the photos that you want and click the share button in the lower right of the screen.  There's an option there to share with Photostream.  You need iPhoto '11 and you need to have Photostream enabled in preferences and make sure the "Automatic Upload" option is checked.
    Hope that helps.

  • Old icloud backup - has my old photos??

    Help!
    I had a problem with my first iPhone in April.  I took it to the apple store, and they gave me a new one.  The guy asked me if I used iCloud and I said I thought so.  Next thing I knew I had a new phone, but I lost all my photos! We had trouble connecting to iCloud and couldn't get anything to sync.  Now, looking on my iCloud, I can see that there is a backup on there from when I got a new phone, but I've had this new phone for almost 8 months now, and I don't want to lose all my new photos!  Can I recover the photos on there somehow?  I have been super bummed about losing all those pictures but I figured they were gone and there was nothing I can do.
    I appreciate any help!  There are some precious photos on there.  I would love to have them back. 

    An awful lot of people are having this issue and for once the solution is just good old fashioned patience after deleting photos, turning the feed off which will delete the history of the feed, then switch back once that has been done.
    Its taken me an hour to realise this lol !
    Thanks pvonk !!

  • ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

    Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
    I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
    I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
    The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
    Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
    regards,
    Matt

    I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
    Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
    Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
    More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
    Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
    Thanks in advance!!
    P.S.,
    if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

  • IPad doesn't sync all photos + earlier iPhoto versions work with iPad

    1. I have my iPad set to sync with iPhoto, but the iPad doesn't have all of the photos that are in iPhoto. I get a message that it can't sync IMG_0026.JPG so I wonder if when that photo is reached the sync just stops. Could this be the reason?
    2. Also as these problems started after my most recent iPhoto 8.1.x update and for other reasons, I'm planning on dumping iPhoto 8 and going back to an earlier version such as iPhoto 5. Is anyone here using iPhoto 5 or 6 with their iPad?

    OK. I removed the photo and everything else seems to have synced fine. So question 1 is answered.
    Now what about question #2?

    I have slightly different problem...
    I have just upgraded my iphone 4 to have the 5 OS thingy and the album that I transfered to the phone when i got it, which had old pix and some camera photo's is now gone leaving just the iphone album.
    when i go back in to the photo tab and tick transfer photo's and "apply"  it comes up with the exact same message you had Todd.
    Will it delete the old transfer album or delete all 450 photos I have taken on the phone?
    Hoping it will just replace the old album???!!!!!

  • IPad 3 doesn't sync all photos

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a new iPad 3 and have a problem that it didn't sync all of my photos from my PC. I have a folder with 2143 photos inside, all is .JPG, 13.9GB but it always sync about 50% of that. I've tried syncing again many many times, try deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder too but the problem still remains.
    I also tried spliting that photos into multiple folders and sync all folders but the problem even get worse: the photos are put in the wrong name folders (in iPad) and not all photos are synced, again.

    Thanks for reporting the photo problem.  I am interested in such comments.  I too am getting frustrated with
    the use of my new Ipad 3 but for a different reason.  I haven't even tried to sync photos yet. My frustration comes from receiving Yahoo Email with attachments and not being able to open the attachments.  I went into the
    [mail, calendar,...] settings to setup the two different Emails that I use.  They are Gmail and Yahoo.  I have strong
    Wi-Fi signal in my home.  I have a PC desktop for my main computer.  I receive all of my mail perfectly with no problems opening attachments.  I will be the first to admit that I am not up on Tech stuff and what makes it all work.  But it just seems like this Ipad doesn't make life easier, just more frustrating.
    I am also thinking about taking my Ipad 3 back for a full refund.  Maybe in the future I will read about how problems like yours and mine are resolved with clear instructions on what to do.  Thanks again Johneo1 and others who have already reported their frustrations.  TLPutnam

  • So iCloud doesn't sync podcasts?

    I'm learning the ropes of iCloud.  I subscribe to a few podcasts on my MacBook Pro (through iTunes), and they continue to download just fine, but it looks like they're not moving to my iPod Touch.  Is this normal?  Is there a way to get them there (without syncing with a cable)?
    Thanks!

    I know it so I have a problem that in browser on icloud.com page and in iwork section when I put document to pages I see it in browser and on iPad in settings.app in icloud sector but I don't see them in Pages on iPad also when I create document on iPad in Pages the icon of document has an arrow on the right top corner but it doesn't appear in browser version of icloud.com in iwork sector.

  • Icloud doesn't sync calendars between devices

    We have a number of Macs and idevices sharing the same Apple ID. Recently we noticed that when we create a calendar entry on one of the devices, it doesn't propagate to the others (including the computers) until it's physically synced to the Mac. Is this expected behavior? All computers/devices are running the latest software (10.8.2, 6.1.2). Thank you!

    No, it's not normal.  On the device that is not syncing calendars with iCloud check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here be sure you have selected a calendar listed under you iCloud account as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on the device and see if it syncs now.
    If your settigs are correct and it still isn't syncing, make sure any events on the device that are not in iCloud are added to your iCloud calendar.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  Then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to the device.  Now enter a new event on the device and see if it syncs properly.

  • ICloud doesn't sync

    Hello guys!
    I bought a brand new iMac with OS X 10.8.4 recently and set up my iCloud with my Apple ID.
    I use my Calendar, Mail, Notes, Reminders and Contacts frequently but have found that none of the info from my desktop apps can be found in my iCloud when I sign in online...
    Just bought an iPad 2 and would love to have this working by them time it gets to me...
    Any suggestions why I'm having this issue?
    Thanks a lot!!
    Anja

    I have the same problem - Notes seems to be the only app that updates across all my hardware (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and two Macs). iWorks syncs fine, but Contacts and Reminders basically ignore each other. The only thing that would sync despite all my efforts were calendars I no longer wanted, and Reminders categories I also wanted to delete. I did have them working for a while by backing up the iPad and iPhone to iTunes then disconnecting the iphone/ipad from icloud (which you do in the settings menu); then deleting on my computer the stuff I don't want, and then re-installing the phone and ipad from the backups I'd made earlier. This worked for a while, but then the bugs all came back with a vengence.
    Let me know if you come up a permanent solution.
    Cheers.

  • HT204053 I have 2 different apple email accounts. My iPhone has a different one from iPad and iCloud doesn't sync pics .... Help please!

    Hi ,
    I need help with my apple account.  I have used two different email addresses so my iPad won't sync with my iPhone on ICloud. How do I sync them?
    Thanks for help

    In order to sync they need to be using the same apple id.
    I am not sure I understand your question.  If you are using two different emails?  I assume you mean apple id.
