i have icloud set up on the ipad and iphone. everythings working fine but nothing shows up on the other device? meaning taking a picture with the iphone does not show up on the ipad? isn't this how it works??? like the commercial lol

😕
 
Pictures show up in PhotoStream. You have to make sure that is turned on on both devices. That is where you can see pics from either device.

check

check

and check

this is why i am very confused. accounts are the same, settings are in sync with each other, etc etc etc
 
Just to be clear...

You can see the PhotoStream library on both devices? If so does it only show pics taken with the device itself? If so that is rather strange.

Also, if I remember correctly turning on PhotoStream is a go-forward basis. So any pics already in the camera roll are not uploaded; only photos taken after it was turned on are uploaded. (I am going by how it worked at first release... perhaps it uploads pre-existing photos now.)

Oh, and photos only in PhotoStream--no vids.

They don't go into the camera roll, they go into an album called... wait for it... Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream turned on, it would be helpful for us to know what shows up there.

yea well it would helpful not to be a jerkoff either. did i say anything about looking into the camera roll for photostream? nope. simply said photostream is turned so i assume the photostream is there
 
You might have several "albums" in your Photos - only one of which will be Photostream. And, it will not necessarily have as many photos as are in the main Photo Library. It SHOULD have all the photos you have actually taken with your iDevice since you turned on the PhotoStream iCloud capability. Since the recent update, you can now delete from PhotoStream on any connected device - a great convenience that should have been there from the beginning.
 
well, notes and reminders are working correctly. still having problems with pictures

update: pictures are syncing but new pictures are not, wifi connection is good. not sure
