I do not have the album photo stream on my iphone since the update. I have icloud on my windows computer and I can see my contacts, notes, and calendar on my computer from icloud. I have icloud turned on. How do I get my photos from my phone to my computer via icloud. I have read how to but I can not figure it out. Thank you very much.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2
I recommend that you import your photos from the iPhone to your computer as follows:
Import Photos
I can upload my photos that way. I have always done it that way. But I was trying to only upload the ones via icloud. I have the app on my computer turned on. I have photo stream on my phone turned on. There is no album called photo stream anymore. How do I upload them to my computer via icloud? No cable.
Thank you for your help so far! II've turned off my iCloud on phone and on computer. Still nothing. And it looks like I can not call apple support because my coverage is null. How nice Apple! That is crazy you cant ask questiins! Anymore tips?
I am going to re-read all of the posts on this thread from the beginning and see what I can come up with. I will get back shortly. A "fix" is a bit of detective work and often takes more than one attempt. Sometimes we, as users, cannot fix anything - hardware defects can only be handled by an Apple Dealer - software bugs can be referred to Apple Feedback but they take time. At this point I do not know what the issue is but we may be able to figure it out, just a bit of time....
OK, I have re-read all of our posts.... I then checked the Apple site... The following article is the best I can come up with about the use of My Photo Stream. It applies to a Windows PC as well. I would follow the steps there slowly and carefully to see if they resolve your issue. Before you do that I would do a forced restart per my instructions below. A forced restart is simple, quick, and essentially "no risk" but has been known to resolve a lot of issues. I do not expect it to work here but you have nothing to lose by trying. Please do so. Then go to this article.

I would appreciate your feedback,

Forced Restart: Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it comes up. You will not lose anything.
I wanted to say thank you for all of your help. I followed those instructions, including resetting my phone and uninstalling i cloud on my computer, still did not work. So I decided to back up my phone by USB to my computer, then restore it to brand new, then I backed it up from that current back up. And poof, I cloud is working!! I have pictures on my i cloud folder, on my computer. Thank you for all of your time.
You are welcome... I would recommend that you import the pictures to your computer using the import function as iTunes is not the most reliable place to backup your photos. I would have recommend the full restore you did above but not knowing the status of your photos that was a bit risky. I have all my photos imported and backed up directly to my HD so a full restore is no problem for me. Best...
