No photos album in my pictures?
I got a new phone, the iphone six, because we had to switch service users. I turned on my iCloud so I was download all the photos and contacts that I had lost, all were revived. But the I noticed I have no album where all my photos are stored, i have even tried taking pictures to see if one would appear, but no luck. Its really aggravating having to use the collections and years feature and I tried going through settings but I really couldn't find anything. Help?
This is because you are continuing to SEND and STORE your photos in the Cloud, not in PhotoStream. Make sure that you have everything the way you want - then UNCHECK that you want your photos saved in the Cloud, and that you want them instead in PhotoStream. BE CAREFUL - there are two Settings places, and they have similar names! Under Settings - iCloud - you WANT to check Photos, and the usual little color pinwheel flower comes up THEN go to (further down in the Setting lists) "Photos and Camera" - and uncheck iCloud Photo Library" - and make sure that My PhotoStream gets turned on. I do not use iCloud Photo Sharing - too much confusion. When you are certain that you have done this right - take a couple of random photos. Go plug in your phone, and make sure you are on Wi-Fi, not your own data. Then wait. It might work in minutes, might be the next day - but TADA! You will get those new photos in PhotoStream, and you will get back the folders you lost. It took me DAYS to get this fixed - I had been in Europe and though I would save space on my phone my using the Cloud (took over 600 pictures) - and then I realized that I had screwed things up - just like you. NOW - all good. PhotoStream is best if you wnat safe and easy storage. ICloud Photo Library is good if you have MANY Apple or Mac devices, and you want to always see EVERYTHING. It is equally confusing if you try Google Photos versus storing photos in Google Drive so that other can see them. I tried that, too - WHAT A MESS - and it stores you pictures from the most recent, backwards, Who want to see your vacation BACKWARDS?
- Why does itunes keep trying to replace the album artwork I used that is the right album artwork? Itunes keeps replacing the right artwork with the wrong artwork on some albums I have on it. It's so annoying.
- Why did random pictures pop up in my iPhone photo album? Okay so the weirdest most random thing happened. 3 random pictures from a year and 2 years ago popped up out of no where into my photo library. They weren't even pictures I would have saved somewhere. One was a screenshot and 2 were just random accidental pictures. Anyone have an idea why or how this happened?
