I just noticed I have the same issue with my 4s. Some pics go to my photostream just fine and some don't. I have tried booting, hardware reset and photostream off/on and nothing seems to get photostream going again as it used to under ios6. I use this feature quite a bit so I would be very grateful for a solution.

I did have the same exact problem. I am using PC with Windows 7 with iOS 7.0.2 and just had my laptop reformatted.

I installed the latest iCloud on my laptop and it just streams the old pictures and not the latest ones.

But my problem did solved.

Here's what i did :-


1. Go to Control Panel -> iCloud

2. I uncheck the Photos option (in picture) User uploaded file

3. And then i click APPLY

4. Then i rechecked the Photos box back.


5. On my phone, i do Reset All Settings (Under Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings

6. The phone will reboot

7. Now i can see the photos are slowly being uploaded onto my iCloud My Photo Stream file!


It did take a while to upload, depending on your internet speed and also the amount of photos.


P/S : I am not sure if the Homegroup or Active Network has got to do with this. But i have my network in Home. (See picture)

Hope this could help some of you. 🙂

4s, ios 7

photos shot on iphone do not show up in 'my photo stream'

took new photo later and that shows up! still missing the first batch.

this keeps happening after upgrading to ios 7


I think that icloud is having issues, because even though i charge the phone every day, i noticed that the auto back up had not happened at all! so i backed up to the cloud manually. icloud has been very incosistent and unreliable since ios 7 and the worst or most visible place has been 'my photo stream'

I have no solutions, but am having the same problem. I've tried pretty much everything suggested in all these posts and it may appear to work for a photo or two and then doesn't work again. Apple, please fix this! It was my favorite part of the iPhone/iCloud system and now it is the most annoying. A photo transfer system that isn't dependable is virtually worthless. Now I have to connect my phone daily and download the photos via cable to my PC. All photos previously in the photo stream are gone (although fortunately I backed them up on the PC before downloading ios7).

Melabyd, I've tried everything suggested in the posts as to no avail. Sometimes it works, partially. I've had problems moving photos when hard connected, too. Sometimes a photo or two or more will be dropped from the mix and I have to go back to iPhone and fetch them.


I have to transfer dozens of photos every day for my work. It's tedious and adds takes time from my day. It's costing me.


This morning I'm charging batteries to my Canon digital camera. Looks like I have to revert to using a good 'ol digital camera and start lugging it around with me.


Thanks for your post here and thanks to everyone else who has posted here.
