My photostream pictures are on both my ipad and my iphone but are not on my PC.

My photostream was working fine but has recently stopped. Photostream is sending/sharing photos between my ipad and iphone but NOT to my PC-Windows. All 3 have photostream "enabled" or turned on. My wi-fi is working fine. But my computer is not getting the photostream pics like it had been. What can I do to have my photostream get pictures on my computer as well?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ), Windows 7

I had same issue just show up this past week. Tried all the other suggestions and no change. So I uninstalled iCloud application, deleted the two folders in the Photo Stream folder from my PC and reinstalled iCloud application. Opened the iCloud control panel and selected photostream (which recreates the two folders you will have deleted), outlook calendars amd contacts and within seconds it populated the photostream folders. Works fine now.


Don't know what changed to cause this issue but this fixed it for me.

I found the reason for this and the solution couldn't be simpler. The issue is compatability. So, search for icloud using Windows search on bottom left and right click on it. Go to properties>compatability>Windows 7>apply>ok. do the same for iCloud photos. Then sign out of icloud and sign back in. Presto! You'll notice it will be a lot quicker to load too. After a year trying to figure it out I stumbled on it....It's worked ever since
