Windows 8.1 and icloud doesnt sync photos

Just installed icloud to my windows 8.1 laptop and it doesnt sync photos at all with my air2 (8.1.2). I have tried to sign in, out, middle, top, bottom, front, behind or whatever... Changed compatibility to Win7 etc. Turned off/on icloud sync/photos/streams/etc. I dont see those pics (added to icloud folder from my pc) in icloud.com either. It's only showing pics from my air2 but it doesnt even sync them with my pc.
Is this icloud a joke, or am i missing something?

What I have tried so far:
A possible solution (didnt work for me):
1. logget out from icloud (in win8)
2. Went to c - users - *current user* - AppData - Roaming - Apple computer -> Create a folder called "MediaStream" (it didnt exist).
it didnt work.
Tried this again, but now deleting all files from the existing "MediaStream" folder. And then logged back to iCloud. (Didnt work.)
Another possible solution (didnt work either):
1. tried to change permission for iCloud photos (unchecked the tap "read only")
Finally just another possible solution (didnt work either):
1. unchecked Photos from iCloud control panel
2. Logged out from iCloud.
3. Created a new folder c:\Photostream
4. Logged back to iCloud and change the Photos location to that newly created folder "Photostream"
AND the funniest part - I dont see "My photo stream" photos in iCloud (web/ipad) BUT they are somewhere becauce they come to my iCloud in my computer when i open iCloud (even if i have deleted it and remains (files/folders) from the pc and installed it back)... There is 31 photos on somewhere which dont exist in iCloud (web or ipad).

WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Two iPhones, iPAD and iCloud to sync all photo's ?

Hi all
This might have been asked before so my apologies in advance.
My wife and myslef each own a iPhone4s with iCloud and we also own an iPad2
Is it possible for me and my wife's photo's to sync, via iCloud, to the iPad ?

I would not recommend it but yes it can be done. Essentially you would set up the for example your iCloud account on your wifes phone and then under mail contacts and calendars in the setting for your accunt on her phone you would turn everything except photostream. Then you would add her account on you phone do the same thing. Be careful though because this has the potential to add all your contacts together and screw backups up. I would highly advise not to do this and just send the pictures between you two when needed.
Good luck!

ICloud not syncing photos on Win 8.1 Pro

Hi,
iCloud is absolutely unreliable for syncing photos from my iCloud (Photo Stream) to my PC (Win 8.1 Pro).
It used to be working, then it stopped, then I reinstalled my Windows (clean install), I reinstalled iCloud Control Panel and now it is not working again.
I know many people have the same issue, but has anyone resolved this?
This is not the quality I expected from Apple..
Thanks in advance!

I have a solution: Dropbox.
I have been fighting this overcomplicated and poorly constructed disaster for too long.
In 5 seconds I just uploaded my entire camera roll to my PC via the Dropbox app, 10GB of free storage too. If I use that up then there is Flickr with 1TB.
Apple is just ghetto rubbish.

I am a new apple/ipad user and trying to transfer photos to my new ipad2 from my windows pc using itunes. The pictures all transfered to my ipad in one very large folder (My Pictures) on the ipad2 instead of the multipule folders that were on my pc. Do I have to re sort all of them into folders on the ipad2 or is it possible to sync the seperate folders to the ipad2?

Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

Icloud not syncing photos HELP

Since one day my iPad New Gen isnt syncing the photos that I take with my iPhone, I researched information and the configuration of my icloud and my devices is correct. NOTE: I have the folder of PhotoStream but no with the new ones... Can someone help me PLEASE!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

ITunes Sync and iCloud crap sync to iPhone 5s problems, sorry for the profanity

This is an iTunes PC (slash) iPhone 5s sync question, or is my iPhone playing music from iCloud when i don't want it to?
I don't use iCloud, i Sync my iPhone 5s to my PC. I backup to my PC, save my camera roll images to my PC, and i put music onto my iPhone from my PC. Call me old fashion but it is what it is, very simple. I know ... whether i like it or not my phone and my apple account have an cloud presence i get it, i am not a complete iCloud agnostic, so please bear with me, be gentle folks.
I have been syncing selected Music,by picking specific playlist to add to the phone. One of the playlist is Purchases. I only buy music from iTunes through my PC, (Remember no judging). What i am noticing on my phone is that music is playing that i didn't select from my itunes playlists. For example i don't sync music videos, by i get them on my phone anyway, here is an example
as you can see this video played from my phone when i didn't select it to sync from itunes.
HOW can i prevent this.
This is also happening with old purchases that aren't on my computer, like my kid's old Cheetah Girls, and Hilary Duff music, they play too.
So i guess i need a refresher about how iCloud works, and how can i stop if from playing these songs and videos i don't want. Is this taking up space on my phone??? Am i using bandwidth every time something plays from the iCloud???
Help!!
thanks folks

You're welcome.

My iPhone and iCloud stopped syncing

My contacts and calendars (iCal and Google) were syncing fine until a few weeks ago, when they suddenly stopped. Anything I add to the phone doesn't go on the MacBook, and vice versa. I've checked my settings on my phone, and all appears fine. I have not yet upgraded to iOS6, due to the map issue, and would prefer not to until that's fixed. Any ideas?

Hello..
None of them were syncing..
I deleted the calendar on the ipad first..and removed all the entries and turned it back on and it seemed to work...
I did the same to iphone and it now also seems to work..
Although it does show some appts on my iphone that still won't sync to the cloud..
My ipad is turned off right now for the calendar...
When I replace the missing appt on the icloud it shows doubled up on my iphone...
Notice below(sorry about the sideways pic)..that the entry Georgia in orange had disappeared from icloud but remained on my phone..
Even though the iphone seems to be working the entry Georgia will not sync back but is on the ipad and iphone...
I checked all the calendars

I am having problems sncing my iphone4 with i tunes. I have just changed from a windows to mac and from cable sync to iCloud. All works from imac to iPhone. but from phone to imac only partially works.

I canged name of calender on iphone and it has changed on the imac. But none of my previous entries or new entries are going to the iphone. If I add on icloud then the entry goes to both phone and imac. I have tried taking calendar off icloud and saving to phone and then reinstating and merging, but nothing changes. My contacts seems to be working fine. That also previously was synced by cable.
Anybody able to help me please

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Difficulty keeping Google Contacts and iCloud in sync

I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a Gmail account. I'd like to keep my contacts consistent across all of them, but I'm finding this to be very difficult.
I followed the instructions on here which seemed to work for editing linked contacts. But there is a problem with this approach: when using my iphone, I can only add contacts on one of the two accounts (either gmail or icloud) but not both at the same time. If I'm in "all contacts" and click the add contact button, it will only add a contact in the account designated as "default account" in the iOS contact settings.
Is there a better way to keep all contacts synced?

Since you are using Google, you might consider not trying to add iCloud in the mix, and just sync your Google contacts to your iDevices. There are many web pages which will walk you through how to setup your Google account on your iPhone or iPad as if it were an Exchange account. Going that route, you can then select to sync your contacts over the air between Google and your mobile device. I used that for about a year, then I made the full switch to iCloud.I've debated about going back, but I haven't gotten that desperate yet.
