Dec 13, 2015 12:23 AM in response to SteveMMby LarryHN,not without full details - but the best guess is that you do not understand how MyPhotoStream works
each device shows the photos added to MSP form that device plus the photos added within the last 30 days from any device - if this guess explains it then all divices ahve the latest photos in MPS and additionally teach device has some older photos that were uploaded form that device

Dec 13, 2015 12:31 AM in response to SteveMMby léonie,The Photo steams on your devices do not necessarily need to have the same sets of photos. It will depend on when you enabled the photo stream on the device.
When you enabe My Photo stream on a device, it will download the photos currently in iCloud and then download the newer photos as they are added. The photo stream in iCloud buffers at most the last 1000 photos and only the photos added during the last month. So a device that as newly enabled for My Photo Stream will only download the newest photos.
It depends on the type of the device, how many photos it will keep after downloading them.

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:
- 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.
- From the Home screen on your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos. Turn off My Photo Stream.
- Confirm that you want to Delete Photos.
- Turn on My Photo Stream again. iCloud will push your stored photos to your device.
- Repeat these steps for each device.
