Q: Photos that I take on my camera and import to my iMac are not going to my iPhone6.

After I import photos from my digital camera, they are not streaming to my iPhone 6. Also, if I want to post a photo to Facebook from Facebook, the photo library that comes up are only IOS photos. The photos I have taken with my camera are not there.  I can upload a photo to Facebook from the Photos App directly. I have Photo Streaming on, on both the iMac and the iPhone. Any idea's?

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), iPad Air

Hello slmfish,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

 

From your post I understand that photos you have imported into Photos on your Mac are not appearing on your iPhone.  To start troubleshooting this issue, please follow the steps below.

 

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

If you’ve turned on iCloud Photo Library, every photo and video you take will live in iCloud, including ones from your My Photo Stream. If some of your devices don't have iCloud Photo Library enabled, My Photo Stream will upload your recent photos to share with those devices.

If you can't find your My Photo Stream images in the Photos app, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is on, and that you have an Internet connection. 
  2. Go back to Settings and tap iCloud > Photos.
  3. Make sure that My Photo Stream is on. If it’s already on, turn it off and tap Delete. Then, turn on My Photo Stream again.
  4. On the device that took the photo you're looking for, close the Camera app. Nothing uploads to My Photo Stream until you do.
  5. See if your iOS device is below 20% battery power. If it is, My Photo Stream will be disabled temporarily to preserve battery life.

If you're using an Apple TV, it might display only your most recent photos due to its storage capacity.

    Thank you, I did this and it worked! I also had to update my iMac to the newest version of Yosemite to get my photo file to show all my photo's. All is well now!
