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!
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3
select the Photos Agent and tell it to Quit or Force Quit (depending on how "stuck" it is). Relaunching the Photos application after this will restart the agent and your photos should start loading shortly after that.

I already looked through these and didn't find any troubleshooting tips that were related to my problem.
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.
The photo update service is stuck. Try closing / quitting the Photos app. Then, launch Activity Monitor and select the Photos Agent
Thank you! I subscribed to a new shared photostream on my iphone but it wasn't showing up on my mac. This fixed it.
