How do I add photos from my windows computer to an existing photostream

I have an iPad 2, and a Windows computer. I would like to use PhotoStream to make the pictures that are now on my windows Vista computer available on the iPad. I have made a photostream and added some pictures to it. Then I tried to add more, by choosing add pictures to photostream. I selected 31 pictures and clicked ready. It takes some time, and then the pictures are NOT available on the photostream! What is going wrong?

(I can not even see them in the photostream on my Windows Vista computer!)

The pictures are made with an Olympus MJU 740 digital camera, partly before I bought the iPad, and partly on the last holiday. I don't like to take the iPad with me on every trip, but I use it as a convenient photo frame to show my pictures to my friends, (and also for other things)

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1.1, Logilink USB server uw 0079

Hi JoepFr,

Here is an alternate method to add photos to Photo Stream from a PC:

iCloud: Add photos to Photo Stream manually

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606

From your Windows desktop

From your Windows desktop, drag any photo to the Photo Stream Uploads folder you chose in the iCloud Control Panel.

Note: Photos in Photo Stream appear in the order they were originally taken, not in the order they were added to Photo Stream. If you manually add photos, they appear throughout Photo Stream in the appropriate date order.

For a list of file types that can be added to Photo Stream, read “What photo formats does Photo Stream support” in the Photo Stream FAQ on the iCloud Support website.

Additionally, ensure your photos are in the right format:

What photo formats does Photo Stream support?

Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.

Take care!
