Can I limit how much/many photos are stored in iCloud photos(beta)?

ex. my most recent 1500 photos/4GB etc.., to manage iCloud storage space just like the old iCloud photo stream had a limit? I'm just wondering if anyone has experience on this yet? I would assume there must be some type of allocation dedicated to backup and then to miscellaneous like photos, documents etc.. depending on whatever storage plan you have purchased. I cannot find any clear direction that would explain this? I have so many photos I don't want to be bumped up to a TB of space when I'm also saving them locally on my Mac.
THANKS!

maybe I'm overthinking this one and I just need to offload pics to my local machine  when I reach a capacity/number of pictures I want to be accessible in the cloud?  Would love to know what exactly the features of the upcoming photos for Yosemite are, as that may answer my questions.

  • How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud?

    How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud? I haven't used Photo Stream before so there are no photos on there that I can see.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    If you haven't used Photostream there won't be any photos "actually on iCloud".
    Any photos stored as part of an iOS device backup can be viewed on the iOS device after restoring the backup to the iOS device. They can't be viewed online.

  • Where can i see what photos are stored on icloud

    Hi i have lost some photo's from my computers hard drive!!!! arrrgh! the photo's were taken with my old iphone and orginally shared on my icloud account! How can i see what my icloud is storing????
    HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Photo stream photos can only been seen on devices connected to your photo stream, not on icloud.com.  Also, be aware that photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days.  After that they are removed from photo stream but will remain on any device that has already received them.  In other words, if the photos you are looking for are older than 30 days they won't be in photo stream any longer.  They would only be in the photo stream album of a device that has already received these older photos from photo stream.
    The only other place iCloud stores photos is in a device backup.  If your old phone was backed up to iCloud and if the backup is still in iCloud, the backup should contain the photos.  However, the ony way to acces them would be to restore a device to the entire backup, including all its data, not just the photos.
    Finally, if you backed up your old phone to your computer by syncing it with iTunes, this backup would also include camera roll photos.  If the backup is on your computer you can use 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to extract the photos from this backup and avoid having to restore the entire backup to another device to access them.

  • HT3702 Can you limit how much can be spent over a certain amount of time such as a week or does this just limit if something can be bought or not?

    My parent wants to set up his credit card to my iTunes account but he want to know if there is any restrictions on what can be bought and when I can buy things. Could you please tell me if there are any restrictions on this sort of thing.

  • How can I remove and delete songs that are stored in iCloud? I really dislike this feature.

    I really hate this idea of having all of the songs that aren't on your iPhone being out back in there through I cloud. They aren't on my device for a reason. Thanks a lot iTunes.
    How can I remove and delete these songs from my iTunes account in purchased history.

  • Option to Limit How Much Phone Storage Spotify Uses

    I have a starred list that is not huge by most standards: 1700 songs or so.
    It's too large to fit in the available storage on my phone which is 4 or 5 GB (some of the files are local files which are probably a bit bigger than the low-bitrate ones Spotify uses for streaming).
    I have a Nexus 4 with no SD card slot.
    For a long time that was no problem, Spotify occasionally complained that it was out of space but most of the songs were available when in airplane mode even if some weren't, and Android seemed to enforce that it always had enough space to upgrade apps and whatnot.
    But now since I've upgraded to lollipop, Android wants to upgrade all my apps and a lot of them seem to have grown. Once available space goes below 500MB Android refuses to download app updates any more so I'm stuck without being able to update any apps.
    I'm trying to figure out how to limit the size of the storage used by Spotify and I can't find a setting in Spotify or in Android to do that.
    It seems amazing to me that neither Spotify nor Android have this capability.
    If I can't do that my only options would be to create a second "Mobile Starred" list with less songs which would be a management nightmare, or delete all of Spotify's data via Android settings, upgrade my apps, then download the Starred list again, after which Spotify would just fill up the phone's storage again immediately and I'd be back in the same boat the next time an app wants to update.
    If Android is not going to provide an option to limit how much storage is used, then Spotify should do it.
    I don't know if this is also an issue on iOS or not.

    Hey agraham.
    While perhaps not the solution you were looking for, I've just finished a Spotify web service that attempts to automate the creation of a limited-size randomly sampled playlist from a variety of sources (library and/or playlists). This would automate the creation of your  'Mobile Starred' playlist and will perhaps be sufficient for you as it was for me.

  • HT201317 How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud as Albums?

    When I plugged in my IPhone to my computer my photos in albums duplicated several times. How do I delete photos that are stored in ICloud? It's really frustrating since I am having several copies of photos on my phone. Please advise..thank you. Judy

    If you have let your device upload the photo from Camera Roll to your Photo Stream in iCloud, then yes it will remain in iCloud even if you remove it from Camera Roll.  If you want to delete the photo from Photo Stream too, see my first post.

    You cannot edit or view the contents of a backup.  If your device has things on it that you don't want backed up to iCloud, delete the items from your device and the next iCloud backup won't contain them.  Or change your backup routine to back up to your computer instead of iCloud.

  • How to find that how many mailboxes are stored in each database

    Hi every one.
    Good evening
    My question is, i have two databases in exchange 2010 server and i have around 150 mailboxes in both databases.
    mdb01 & mdb02. I need to now how many mailboxes are stored in each database like
    pls see example.. this is just a example..i dont no how many are stored in each datbase :-(
    mdb01----20 mailbox
    mdb02----130 mailboxes
    and also i would like to know about the below details also
    available mailboxsize in each database----DBsize---DB white space--
    Thanks for your kind help
    Karan

    To see how many mailboxes you have in each database, run:
    Get-Mailbox -Server <ServerName> | group database | ft Name,count -AutoSize
    ...and to get a hunch of how much free space you have available, run
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Server <ServerName> -Status| ft Name,databasesize,available* -AutoSize
    ...but to get the exact amount of free space, you need to dismount the database and run
    eseutil /ms

  • How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud.  I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone.  I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

    Good day AMELIASARAH,
    One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
    If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can i determine how much data an app is using

    on an iphone5, how can i determine how much data an app is using and or which apps are the biggest data users?  do all apps always use wifi when a wifi is connected or do some apps still use cellular data even if wifi is connected?

    Try Settings > General > Usage > Storage > check here.
    To test if app is using cellular data instead of Wi-Fi, switch Airplane mode: ON and switch Wi-Fi: ON manually.

  • Can't remove photos from album? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    Can't remove photos from  Aperture album unless I send them to Trash? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
    I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

  • How can i see how much space is left before i burn a cd

    how can i see how much space is left before i burn a cd?  My old OS showed it at the bottom of the window, but loin doesn't have it anymore.

    Open a Finder window > go to View > choose show path bar (and/or status bar, sidebar).....
    Mine are showing (hence the choice to "hide" them).

  • How can i check how much money i have on my iTunes gift card?

    How can i check how much money i have on my iTunes gift card?

    If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). If your account's balance is zero then it might not show at all.

  • Is there a way to limit how much music stays on iphone?

    I use iTunes Match, and it's great. But, I use the phone for other stuff, and those apps need space. Is there a way to limit how much the Music app stores before it throws away the old songs?
