Q: not all photostream photos transferring to icloud
Hi- I'm very technology challenged so that will probably come across in my question.
The photostream on my iPhone 4S (current iOS) says I have 479 photos but the iCloud on my PC shows only 315 images. That's a huge difference- does anyone know why this is? I'm dreading having to go through images 1 by 1 to figure which ones transferred and which ones didn't...is there any way to just 'copy and paste' photos from the Photostream straight onto my PC?
I also have a bunch of random photo albums taking up TONS of room on my phone- how do I get those off my phone and onto my PC? Some of the images are actually ones that were stored on my PC and somehow ended up on my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Hello KGPhotography
This all depends on when you turned on Photo Stream, Photo Stream will add new pictures when they are taken and your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi. You will need to do a comparison of what is on Photo Stream and what is not. If you want to get the pictures off your iPhone, the following article will assist with process. If you have photos that are on your iPhone that came from your computer, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes when your iPhone is plugged in and uncheck what photos you do not want on your iPhone. The other article will tell you how to add pictures, to remove is just a matter of unchecking what albums or folders you do not want.
