My Photo Stream is empty with iCloud Control Panel 3.0

I've got iPhone, iPad and PC (Windows 8) in sync with iCloud Control Panel 2 properly before.

Days ago I upgraded to iCloud Control Panel 3.0, Other shared photo streams and iCloud bookmarks are sync perfectly but "My Photo Stream" is not sync on PC anymore. I've cleaned up iCloud Photos sync folder completely and signed in to the iCloud Control Panel again, but "My Photo Stream" is just not sync.

Any idea?

OK, reading this I do not feel stupid anymore. I spend the whole day to get photo stream running. Finally the PC of my wife started syncing ! but only 80% of the content. My PC doesn't do anything. I stop trying now. Hope this works in a week or two ...

Together with the sloppy & buggy iOS7 release (using a 64GB Retina iPad) I am afraid that we are seeing the end of an aera. At least, with quality converging to mainstream there is no more justification of these extraordinary prices ...

Short story for me is that it downloadsphotos for a while (15-40 minutes) after signing out and in witht he iCloud control panel, then stops. (or maybe just generates a lot of network traffic to compare with photos that ar ealready downloaded). If I sign out and in again it starts from scratch again.


I logged a support case and have been promised that it will be escalated to engineers or somebody and they may contact me to place software in debug mode. No response yet but only been a couple of days.


I'd suggest lodging a support case as the people I spoke to hadn't heard of this problem but did browse the web and find discussions like this which they agreed indicated it was a systemic issue.

My level 2 Tech Chris is forwarding commend in this thread to the engineers. he is perplexed about why the engineers are not responding...it's been 3 weeks already....he and his mgr have escalated this case to "people higher up.". I am not optimistic about any quick fix....I think iCloud 3.0 likely has a big bug...and that this is just ones piece of it....the engineers need to work together on this (not piecemeal)--AND WE NEED TO BE INFORMED OF THEIR PROGRESS--OR LACK OF PROGRESS.....

After reading this forum, I no longer feel crazy. I kept trying all the fixes I read in tons of forums and was getting no where. Photostream just randomly adds photos and a large amount are missing. I eventually just switched to dropbox for saving photos, but I really hope Apple comes up with a solution. Photostream is so much more convenient across my ipads and iphone5s. I am experiencing this faulty photostream with Windows 7 and icloud 3.0. Apple, please fix this!!
