Q: My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams. How can I make them the same?
My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it. But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it. The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
Thanks!

The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.
See: iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
