    Howdy CMWelsh,

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you're seeing different photos in My Photo Stream on your computers, then I suggest following the information outlined below.

     

    I see different photos in the My Photo Stream album on each of my devices

    Your device will keep up to 1,000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream, your devices might not have the same photos. Due to capacity, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

    Follow these steps to delete older photos from My Photo Stream and put your most current photos on all of your devices:

    1. If there are any photos in the My Photo Stream album you'd like to keep, save them to your device. Then, back up your photos and other data.
    2. From the Home screen on your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos. Turn off My Photo Stream.
    3. Confirm that you want to Delete Photos.
    4. Turn on My Photo Stream again. iCloud will push your stored photos to your device.
    5. Repeat these steps for each device.
