Q: Photostream not showing on iphone!!

I have a iphone 5 and an ipod touch 4g. I dont have space to transfer my ipod photos to my Iphone. I have 2 apple ids (one for each devices icloud) and have shared a photostream with all my ipod photos to view them without taking space on the iPhone. The photos are showing in the ipod stream and the stream is shared with the iphone. The iphone has accepted the invite, but I can't view them.

I have tried it when battery was above 20% and under wifi. Neither work. The Iphone says "no photos shared"!

Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, Also an Ipod touch 4g

Photo Stream works only when you take new photos after the option is turned on.

That is for my photo stream which shares your photo to all devices under the same apple id
I have two apple ids and have a shared photostream which i can select photos to share. I have shared all the photos on my ipod to my iphone and none show on the iphone.

Are you on Wi-Fi? Is iCloud configured?

You could use Pic Share It to transfer the photos directly between iPod Touch and your iPhone. Pic Share It works over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and sends the photos directly to your Camera Roll.
