    Hey Chris 1816,

     

     

    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you wish to troubleshoot your iCloud Photo Stream. The following resource may provide a solution:

    Also, remember that there are a few restrictions regarding iCloud Photo Stream:

     

    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?

     

    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.

     

    - iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

     

    - Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.

     

    - PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

     

     

    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?

     

    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

     

     

    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?

     

    […] Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
