Q: Photos won't sync over wifi

I recently had to replace my iPhone. The new phone will not automatically sync photos taken on my iPhone to my iPad or Macbook like the old one did. I have the iCloud Photo Library (BETA) on, The upload to My photo stream and iCloud sharing is on??? I have been connected (all devices) to good Wifi at the same time and could only Airdrop to my Macbook manually. Please help!

    Hello Casey432,

     

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not seeing pictures taken from the iPhone on other devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

     

    Get help using My Photo Stream - Apple Support

    I don't see photos from My Photo Stream on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    2. Make sure that Wi-Fi is on and your device is connected to a wireless network. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
    3. From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
    4. Make sure that My Photo Stream is on. If it’s already on, turn it off and tap Delete. After it turns off, turn My Photo Stream on again.
    5. Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to the Recently Added album (or the My Photo Stream album in iOS 7) until you close the Camera app.
    6. See if your iOS device is below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, downloads and uploads from My Photo Stream are disabled when the battery reaches 20%. Downloads and uploads will continue after you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

     

    Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Have a nice day,

    Mario
