Q: iPhoto does not show all my photo stream content

iPhoto (iPhoto 11 ver 9.2.3) photo stream does not always show all of the recent photos I took even though my IOS devices show them. Any ideas why?

A:

I meant the photo stream in IOS.

 

I solved the problem by disabling iPhoto Preferences>Photo Stream>Automatic Import and Automatic Upload. This allowed Photostream to refresh properly on my Mac. It was not refreshing, I believe, because it was also trying to import the photos to my computer. I let it do this for hours previously, but it must have been timing out because it never completed the photostream download.

 

After photostream refreshed properly I manually copied the pictures that had not been downloaded to my computer to the Photos album.

 

I then turned Automatic Import and Automatic Upload back on in iPhoto and tested it by taking a picture with my iPhone. Within seconds the photo appeared in my photo stream on the Mac. So I must assume that the issue has resolved itself. I suspect the problem occurred because I took a large number of photos (around 100) while I was away from WiFi.

    When you say the iOS device shows them, do you mean on the camera roll or in the photo stream album.
