Photo Stream is the part of <a href="
http://www.imore.com/icloud" title="iCloud backup, photos, setup, and how-to">iCloud[/url] that seamlessly syncs your photos any time you're connected to a wifi network. Take a picture (or screen shot) on your iPhone or iPad and Photo Stream will store a copy of that picture on Apple's servers and push copies down to all your other iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Photo Stream will store up to 1000 photos, or 30 days of photos at at time. If you aren't yet familiar with Photo Stream, we can walk you through everything you need to get started.</p> <!--break--> <ul><li><a href="#photo-stream-enable-ios">How to enable Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad[/url]</li> <li><a href="#photo-stream-access-ios">How to access Photo Stream on your iPhone or iPad[/url]</li> <li><a href="#photo-stream-mac">How to enable Photo Stream on Mac[/url]</li> <li><a href="#photo-stream-windows">How to enable Photo Stream on Windows[/url]</li> <li><a href="#photo-stream-delete">How to delete photos from Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad[/url]</li> <li><a href="#photo-stream-delete-mac">How to delete photos from Photo Stream on Mac[/url]</li> </ul><h2><a name="photo-stream-enable-ios" id="photo-stream-enable-ios">[/url]How to enable Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Photos</strong>. </li> <li>Under the <strong>Photos section</strong>, make sure <strong>My Photo Stream</strong> is turned <strong>On</strong>. </li> <li>You can also enable <strong>Photo Sharing</strong> at the bottom so you can create photo streams to share with others and so they can share them with you. </li> </ol><p><a href='
