Can I use iCloud Photo Library on just one of my Devices

I have an iPhone and an iPod touch. Can I use iCloud photo library on my iPhone and not on my iPod touch? Could I see them on my iPod if I do so?
The reason I am asking is because I have like 600 photos on my iPod and only like 50 on my Phone so I would like to put the photos from my phone onto iCloud Photo Library.

Anyone?

Can I use icloud on a pc without installing it?

I use icloud on my devices at home - al mac. The problem is, at work we use pc, and only the administrator can install new software. Most of them run windows 7 or windows vista. Can I still access icloud from them? (When I try, it asks me to install the icloud panel, but I just can't). Can you no longer use it online, as before?
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I know the IT department has not blocked it, but when I enter my username and password it requires me to intall and set something on the pc (in fact, it also asked me to set it on my home computer, which is a macbook, but there I had no problem).
I think this really a problem, as it would effectively stop people using icloud in any shared computer...

Can I use iCloud on a PC without setting up an Apple device?

I am trying to view photos that I received from someone with an iPhoto account.
I have a PC, I do not own any Apple devices and am not interested in purchasing any.
I can sign in to iTunes, but when I try to use the same id for iCloud I get an error message
that the id is valid, but cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Apple's site seems to say that
you must have an Apple device set up first before you can enable a Windows device. Is this true?
I don't even care about the storage space, I just want to be able to access photos, etc. that others
send me by email. Is this possible to do with only a Windows 8 device?

Go to a physical Apple Store and use one of the display models to set up the iCloud account.

TS3992 Can i use iCloud to sync data between my Apple devices?

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac that I would like to sync my data on, and was wondering what the best way to do that is? The data that I am trying to sync is on my desktop, and a subfolder within my Documents folder.
Thanks
Matt

iCloud syncs only specific types of data - Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and iWork and TextEdit documents. It doesn't sync files in general.
There are a number of third-party solutions for this. The two most popular are Dropbox and SugarSync. I think for you SugarSync is the best bet: Dropbox limits you to a specific Dropbox folder on each machine, but SugarSync allows you to nominate any folder to sync.
More details here:

(note that some of the solutions there are online backup only, not syncing: the two I've mentioned, of which more details are given, are your best bet).

Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?

Good day.
I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s. All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud. Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
Note: The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
C. Gray

iCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

Can I use iCloud if I no longer have an Apple product?

My phone was corrupted when I updraded to iOS7. After 3 visits and 3 complete wipeouts and resets - the last time using no restore because they told me the backups were corrupted - it still is very unstable. I cannot use the phone is this condition. This beautiful phone was in perfect condition before it was damaged by the unstable upgrade process. Even my battery is still excellent. I have to get a new phone now and of course I can't buy an iphone since Apple refuses to compensate me in any way for rendering my present phone unstable. Can I use icloud, which I have on my Windows PC, after I no longer have my iphone? Verizon will allow me to trade it in for a gift card but it must be turned off cellular service and then surrendered. How can I make the transfer without loosing data?

Your data will remain in iCloud, and can still be accessed from your PC, even if you no longer have your iPhone. Just be sure not to delete the data from your phone while it is still signed into your account, or it will also be deleted from iCloud. Instead, if you are turning in the phone, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661. Before doing so, if you want to save your photos, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll, then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Also, Apple will delete any iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity. If you're planning on replacing it with another iPhone, you'll want to do so before your backup is deleted.

HT4901 I have HughesNet with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to backup my information all the time????

I have HughesNet satellite for an ISP with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to back up my information all the time?

Thanks Roger W1,
Yes, I was using iTunes to sync over cable without problems since orinigal purchase in 2011 and using 10.6 w/o problem. There was an "update" in Nov 2012 that crashed the sync service. I went to the Apple Store and reviewed the problem with the Geniuses there. It was discovered at that time that the update included mandated use of iCloud but enough of the un-updated code remained that he was able to patch functions to allow Microsoft Office to still sync over iTunes.
This March (+/-) there was another "update" to 10.6 that totally destroyed the patch that was in place so there was no sync service available between Microsoft and iTunes what-so-ever. Then recently, because of some unknown process, all my notes, contacts, and calendars were erased in both my Apple utilities and Microsoft utilities.
After many hours of frustration I was able to recover most of the information to the Apple utilities only, but those were unstable. At my visit to the Apple store it was suggested that an upgrade to 10.8 might solve the stability problem. That it did but being connected to the iCloud all the time keeps using up all my Internet time and I have nothing left to check emails or do research.
This, to me, is not my problem but one created by Apple. I have searched the Internet and support groups and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
The "aircraft mode" turns off all other communication functions and is not acceptable. Neither is disconnecting/turning off Airport on my MBP.
Thanks,
Jay

I have a windows pc. How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC. I can't use iCloud

I have a windows pc. How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC. I can't use iCloud without an Apple device. I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'. I need to download them again. It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'. There is no little cloud next to that wording. On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1. I have lost so many peices of music! Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again?? Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

Can I use icloud to store my iTunes library music in order to free up storage/usage space on my iPhone?

Can I use icloud to store my iTunes music library in order to free up usage space on my iPhone and iPad?

iTunes match is a true streaming service when it comes to playback from your PC. That means, you can load everything into the cloud and stream from the cloud to your PC.
To an iPhone or iPad, it's stream-and-save, meaning it will download and play immediately, but it will be saved to the device.
So yes, you can load everything up (assuming it all loads properly without problems) and stream to your PC.
