MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Where are you looking for them? Photo stream photos don't appear on iCloud.com, if that's where you're trying to view them. (Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your personal iCloud storage.)
Ok thanks, maybe Im on the wrong track, what im trying to do is save all my photos in iphoto on my mac and save them to my icloud and see them in my icloud under betaphotos ( all my photos on my iphone have uploaded automatically and i can see them in my icloud ) I have gone to iphoto preferences and then icloud and turned all the streams on. I have also turned photos on under finder/preferences/icloud/photos
If you're talking about iCloud photo library, iPhoto does not support that, and cannot upload photos to it. Also, Apple has not yet provided the ability to upload photos to your iPhoto library by dragging and dropping them to your photos at iCloud.com yet (although it's been reported that they are starting to work with this on their beta site; see http://9to5mac.com/2014/11/06/icloud-photos-beta-upload/).
At the present time, you can only get them to iCloud photo library by adding them to a shared photo stream in iPhoto (see http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.6/#/phtf7fe6394), then opening the shared album on one of your iOS devices and saving the images to your device (tap Select, tap the images, tap the share icon, then tap Save Image). They should then automatically be added to your iCloud photo library.
many thanks...i thought i was going mad ( although I would have thought it a thing logical ) the photo sharing sounds like a good idea excepting I dont have much memory on my phone and i was trying to upload about 10,000 photos ......again thanks.
You're welcome. You'll be able to add photos to iCloud photo library from your Mac on iCloud.com as soon as they go live with the upload feature. You'll also be able to do this from the new iCloud photo library compatible OS X Photos app when it is introduced next year.
