Photo Stream STOPPED on desktop; OK on other devices

Shut iCloud and PS down - reboot your Mac and turn them back on

There are trouble shooting hints in this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I have the same problem. The Photo Streams shared by my daughters appear on my PC, but My Photo Stream has disappeared!

Very strange - you might shut PS down on all devices, reboot all devices and turn PS back on on all devices and see if that kickstarts the process

I would report to Apple - sounds like a possible bug - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

I have been on the phone for 3 days with Level 2 people for the same problem with my new 5S......they have now escallated it to engineering......so frustrating....all worked well with my 4S. So, now with my 5S, only shared albums populate, photostream does not stream or populate to my computer!!! I've done all of the "fixes" (deleting iCloud, reinstalling, rebooting, etc., etc., etc.). Photostream works ipad to iphone, iphone to ipad. SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I have spent hours on the phone with Level 2 people. Finally last night they decided to send it to the engineers. Nice to see your post----nice only because I'm not alone....but in general: UGLY!!!!

And have you tried what worked for John Michlig?

shut PS down on all devices, reboot all devices and turn PS back on on all devices and see if that kickstarts the process

Yes....and just got off the Phone with another Level 2 person....John and I are not the only one's having this issue. But, alas, I'll try again....I'll shut everything off (again) and reboot......

OMG! 3 photos showed up on Photostream....that's 3 more than I had before....maybe it will work this time....I hope so....when the shared files reloaded, it opened duplicate folders. time will tell if any other pics will sync....time will tell....At least I have a little hope. Will check in an hour or so.

More ipad photos are streaming in.....except that NO iphone 5S pics are loading on to my PC....2 steps forward....one step backi.....and it loads with duplicate shared albums (albeit empty)...other issues also....UGH...More ideas?????

Update: My situation has been escallated to Engineering. I have several Level 2 Techs working on this....they have not seen this issue before. The thread discussion helps because it shows that I am not alone with this issue. The only time the Pinwheel Photostream seems to load is if I shut down iCloud, my iPhone, my iPad, then reboot, open phone, open ipad, open iCloud...but the # of photos populated in the pinwheel (and then on the C Drive of my PC) varies---and, new photos don't load for at least a day or more....I still have many pics from Sat that have not loaded. Photos populate in a random order....not in the order they are taken. Additionally, shared photstream is acting crazy also...on my C drive the pics load in a copy file (i.e., name of file_1), then disappear when iCloud closes....yet the original shared photo albums on my C drive retain their pics..... The Level 2 techs think the problem is with BONJOUR, the program that allows the photostream pics to load onto the computer. Apparently, from searching my computer, error messages started Oct 10, even though the photos populated on my C drive without a problem. I only noticed this problem when I got my iPhone 5S. BTW, a wonderful Level 2 Tech, patiently had me delete and reinstall at least 4 Apple programs (including Bonjour & iTunes) --- but it didn't change anything. Very Frustrating!!!!!

I have this exact problem, however when I add photos so a shared stream they show up, they just won't show up in the main photostream folder
