Yet more iPhone questions. Resolved.

[Richard (OldStager)]

I have been taking a fair number of pics today with this new phone ( 15) but having issues with the automatic uploading of the pics to my iCloud account, it appears to upload some and then miss others despite taking the pics just seconds apart, I can get the pics from the phone onto the PC by emailing myself, but its a messy way to do it. Is there somkething perhaps I am doing wrong or does this sometimes occur with iCloud?. 

Thanks

Richard.

There can be several reasons for this.

 

lack of storage on cloud account

low data, or mobile data switched off

low battery

Photos may be uploading slowly or paused because WiFi signal was lost

[Richard (OldStager)]

It could be one or all of those, I will check.

 

Thank you.

its not storage issues, data switched on, but using wifi with all 3 bars lit

battery at 44%, I was thinking if there is bad data connection as well as a bad wifi one as well at the same time, I would have expected the phone to wait till a signal was good enough to enable the upload, seems it does not. So now thinking if such conditions are present the photos will never be uploaded, tried it in the house and its fine, so not at all sure here. Still having to transfer via emails, wonder if the cable to PC would work instead of that, that's the next thing to try.

You can transfer via a usb cable yes.

 

these checks might also help

Thanks for link, some good things to check on that, will give that a go before the cable .

OK, well just to close this post off.

 

As I have been taking yet more pics during the course of the day, I have now come in for the day and just looked on iCloud, all the pics I was emailing yesterday are there together with today's pics. So it look like nothing was amiss with my settings here, but seemingly a backlog in the Apple system slowed everything down.

 

I will just have to wait a further 24 hours in future so as to be sure they appear on the cloud. 

 

Matter resolved.

I usually start by clearing the cache of apps that aren't working correctly. The "gallery" on a phone is just an app that gives access to storage and back-up. Try clearing the cache and then open the gallery and tap "back up now" or whatever the iPhone equivalent is.

Thanks, I took a load more today whilst in the driveway and when I came in later in the evening, all the pics were online already, as I said it must have been some backlog or sync issue , but I haven't changed anything either on the iCloud thing or the phone. It just works now - most odd.
