iOS7 - my new photos not showing up in photostream

I have updated to iOS7 and things are looking sweet. Took some photos last night and this morning and they have not showed up on my computer yet. They normally show up within minutes. I checked settings and photos and icloud are turned on.


Thanks

iPod touch, iOS 5.1

I too am suffering from photostream problems. I am completely updated on both my iphone and macbook pro. Photo stream always worked until recently and I suspect the last update might have killed it.

Of the 50 or 60 photos I have taken in May, only a dozen appear on my mac. Nothing I have done has made these photos appear. Tonight I took several photos and two showed up on the mac but nothing more.

I really would appreciate a solution.

Same problem with my iphone 4s. Took pics with my iphone camera app. I never use the lock camera. The pics went to camera roll but not to photostream or icloud. I have to manually create another folder to push them to icloud on my MB Air, but I HATE having to do that when the technology is supposed to have it handled. I just got a new MB Air and am trying to get comfortable with the cloud. This glitch is NOT helping.

Has anyone uncovered a solution at all? I've been struggling with this issue for a while now, and it's getting more and more irritating. It's not the lock/unlock solution. And it has nothing to do with my PC, as images don't even show up in the "My Photo Stream" folding on my iPhone (4S, iOS7). And the problem is intermittent... sometimes photos show up, sometimes not.

So I did a few tests based on the thread replies here, and here's what I found.


First, a few parameters and setup:

- My iPhone 4S is already on a Wi-Fi network, internet connection is fast and stable.

- I'm judging whether photos are on my Photostream based on whether they appear in my "My Photostream" album


Do photos automatically get pushed to Photostream when I ...?

1. Unlock iPhone, open Camera app, take photo? YES

2. Slide up Camera from lock screen (but when iPhone wouldn't have asked me for Lockscreen password anyway)? YES

3. Slide up Camera from lock screen (while iPhone is password locked)? YES, but inconsistent


In scenario #3, it *****, but I managed to get those photos to show up later on, simply by shutting down the Camera app (double-press Home button and flick the Camera "card" away). I guess it's fixed now?
