Apple help please?

[nixy]

I have an iphone and an ipad. One of the features I really liked was that I could take pictures on my phone and they would automatically drop onto my ipad and vice versa - fab! Now for some reason, it only works one way around! If I take pictures with my ipad they go into photostream on my phone but if I take photos on my phone they do not go onto my ipad - the photostream album has vanished! I've checked all the settings, everything is ticked that should be. It's really frustrating as obviously it's my phone that I am out and about with when taking pictures but then they are not on my ipad unless I send them to myself! Has anyone else come across this issue?

Make sure both PHOTOS option are ticked in the iCloud settings on both devices.

Yep that's all done already.

[Adrian@TORQEN]

OFF and ON again, on both devices, hard reboot both devices afterwards. Hold HOME + POWER until it reboots.

 

Also, make sure both run iOS 9 latest version.

Have noticed my iPhone has had a couple of iOS updates in the past week or so.....might be worth checking for updates on both.

[nixy]

That could be the issue, as my ipad is up to date and fairly new and my iphone is an iphone 4 and not got the latest version of IOS?

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Yes, that's the reason, as soon as the iPad was updated to iOS9, the sync has stopped, iOS9 uses a different way of storing and sharing the photos. Time to upgrade to iPhone 6 or 6s

[DoogyRev]

There have been a number of changes under the hood of iOS9, so all devices must be on the same version for this to work.

 

Time up upgrade to a iPhone 6 then Nixy

And you car entertainment system if you plug in your iPhone for music. Older ones don't support iPhone 6 (or 5)

Why would you need to update to the latest iPhone and not just update your current one to the latest iOS ?

Are you serious or just an Android user?

 

iPhone 4 was introduced June 24, 2010. Hardware has evolved A LOT in over 5 years. So did the software. The software takes advantage of the hardware, if this is not capable, you can't use the software... See where I'm going with this?

Yes and No , I just have an iPhone 4 that is about 3 years old and serves my needs completely fine. I don't feel the need to update just so I can be trendy and have the latest 'must have' device and don't want to be carrying a device the size of a small blackboard around in my pocket. Alll previous updates have applied to it but can I now expect that future ones will not ?

[DoogyRev]

Looks like you are going to have to upgrade . . . perhaps a 4S. Pretty sure you could get one off eBay for a couple of great british pounds

You'll be saying Windows XP is out of support next YOU DAM DIRTY GEEKS!!!

I'm with you on this one......my iphone does me fine as it is (other than the photo issue obvs) and now I'm out of contract I pay a measly £13 a month for unlimited texts, 1000 minutes and as much data as I can use on a sim only deal but to 'keep up' I need to at least treble that? Forget it, I will just move the photos myself!
