Q: Why is the Photo Stream in my PC showing only a few of my Photo Stream photos in my iPad and iPhone?

I have 517 photos showing in Photo Stream on my iPhone but after setting up my iCloud on my PC, I see only 55 of my photos. Why are the rest not showing up?

iPhone 4S

    Photo stream only keeps photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though it will keep up to 1000 photos on your devices until they are deleted.  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would only receive photos added to photo stream from the last 30 days (as the others are no longer in iCloud).

     

    If you want to transfer the remaining photos to your PC, save them to the camera roll on your phone (if not already there) by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then import them to your PC as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
