Photo Stream was only working sporadically for me with iPhone 4/Aperture, tried all the numerous fixes listed in this thread but I think what worked for me was changing my MTU.

It was set at 1500 on my router but I reduced it to 1432, shortly after that Photo Stream started syncing correctly.


Weirdly, when I manually added JPG pictures (small, less than 150k) to the Camera Roll they went to Photo Stream but photos taken in various camera apps would never get uploaded. Which leads me to believe it was an MTU issue for me.

Ok, I have another aspect to this annoying problem - I have 258 photos in my photo stream on my iPhone 4. This syncs pretty well with my iMac so no probes there. When I try and sync with my brand new new iPad, that's when the fun really starts. For some stupid reason I only have 21 photos. I have tried turning photo stream on and off on the iPad. I have 95% battery level, I have used different accounts, I have made sure iCloud is on backup - I have done everything everyone here has said, but I still only have 21 out of 258 photos showing up. To be fair, the most recent ones come through fine, but I don't think that is the point. I thought that whatever was in one spot automatically appeared in another. Am I mistaken? Can someone please shed some light on this for me?

Here's another. I took a bunch of photos today, and sat watching my photostream doing nothing. I had my iPhone and my MBP on wireless, photostream turned on, iPhone backed up to iCloud, iPhone charged to 95%. No activity. Photostream off/photostream on. Nothing. Then I simply unplugged my phone from the computer, and voila, pictures streaming...
