How do I put camera roll into photostream when I set up photostream after I put 600 pics in the camera roll?

I never set up photstream until after I put 600 pics on my camera roll. I just set up photostream today and it says that all recent pics i take from now will go into photostream?

Only photos taken after turning on photo stream will be uploaded. If you want your existing photos uploaded you'll have to import them to your computer, enable iCloud syncing on your computer, and put the photos in the upload folder on your computer. To enable iCloud syncing on your computer see either PC or Mac here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.


You don't see your photos in iTunes. ITunes only syncs photos to your phone and backs up your camera roll photos in the iPhone backup. If you aren't syncing your computer iCloud with photo stream syncing enabled, you have to import your camera roll photos (and videos) to your computer in order to see them there, as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you do enable iCloud syncing with photo stream the photos will be located in the download folder, which by default on a PC is C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. On a Mac they are in iPhoto or Aperture.

So no uploading my old pis into my new photostream.


As mentioned above, to import your existing photos to photo stream you would have to import them to your computer, enable iCloud photo stream syncing on your computer and put the imported photos in your photo stream upload folder. Then they would be uploaded to photo stream.


I'm not sure I connect what to do after that.


Don't understand what you are asking here.
