iCloud photo stream does not show all photos

I have 1000 photos is my photo stream, however on my Apple TV I just setup, I can only get 322 to show up in the iCloud Photo Stream. I've tried restoring and setting it up again, but I have the exact same numbers of photos.


Is there a reason I can only see 322 out of 1000 photos in my photo stream on the Apple TV?

Dito here... newest Macbook Air, newest Apple TV, iPhone 4s... all latest updates but different amount of iCloud photo's on the devices.


Hope Apple comes with a update a.s.a.p.


Plus why can't I get more than 1000 photo's in iCloud on my iPhone while I have 3,2 Gb free of the 5 Gb?


All we want is to see the same from all devices automatically. I do hope the more people react on this post, Apple notice our frustration.

Agreed. I'm having the same issues, none of the fixes I'ved tried from this discussion and others on this board have restored the hundreds of pics on my stream (or have fixed why the stream occasionally flips back to animal photos), and it's frustrating. It all started after the last AppleTV update, I hope the next one resolves this. I miss my pictures!

Have you upgraded to 6.1? New photos are appearing regularly again, while any picture prior to the update was hit or miss. The update didn't "restore" missing photos in the PhotoStream but the number of photos has been steadily increasing. This is welcomed because at one point I was down to ~40 photos out of 1,000 on every other device with PhotoStream.

Hello Mike, I had a chance to test this over the weekend. My Photstream on the AppleTV 2nd Gen, showed 103 photos. I deleted two from my iPhone (which has 1k photos in it, go figure) and the AppleTV count went down to 101. I then took three photos with my iPhone and the count went to 104. I then used Waterlogue on my iPhone and created a new image and saved it to my camera roll. It also appeared on the AppleTV. Finally, I copied a few photos from a shared Photostream to my camera roll and those didn't appear on either device. I want to add it took a few minutes for things to update on the AppleTV. It was pretty quick, but seemed slightly slower than in the past...

Is APPLE ever going to fix iCloud and photostream so they work they way they are supposed to??? this is extremely frustrating! What ever happened to "IT JUST WORKS!" Because this doesn't work anymore. At one point long ago in what feels like a distant dream it seemed to work perfectly and it was so exciting. NOW it seems I can not depend on this service at all. I used to rely on this service without fault... now I guess I need to find someone other then Apple to provide me the service I've grown to depend on.


I must say... I didn't think it was possible but I think Apple lost more then can be meassured by the passing of Steve Jobs. He wouldn't of let this problem fester and go on and on unresolved for months on end! I went to the Apple Store and visited a genius about a month ago and he acted as if he had never even heard of this problem despite there be postings all over APPLE's own web site! I guess they are trained to deny a problem exists! He tried to find all kinds of fault with me and the way I used photostream!


I used to love APPLE but i'm begining to grow some resentment towards the company at this point!


PLEASE FIX PHOTOSTREAM!!!!!
