How can I get my photos back from icloud

How can I get my photos back from my iPhone 4 on the icloud I got my music and my contacts but for some reason I can not get my photos.

Hi sadie,
When you did the backup, were the 1500 pictures all on your camera roll? Or were they on other Albums?
iCloud is not a storage device for your photos. You should be importing them to a computer or uploading them to a cloud storage facility like DropBox or Flickr.
Each time you do a backup of to iCloud, it creates a backup of what is on your phone at that moment in time. So, if you had some photos on one backup, but not the other, you would only be able to "recover" the photos from one of those backups. Photos in iCloud are not aggregative.
Also, the iCloud backup of photos only includes those photos or videos in the Camera Roll. Photos in any other album are not backed up:

If you had PhotoStream turned on, then the last month's-worth of PhotoStream, or the last 1000 PhotoStream photos would also still be viewable.
Can you tell us where those 1500 photos were located when you did your backup?
Sorry that you lost your photos. Take a look at DropBox in the App Store, or check out Flickr. If you aren't importing your photos on a regular basis to a computer, then these would be your best bet to protect your photos going forward.

How can I get my photos back from icloud after an upgrade?

So I recently upgraded my iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5s last Wednesday. I had made sure to back it up with icloud 3 times on 3 different days prior to this. I received my new phone and it was backing up perfectly. Till I realized that my 1,500 photos hadn't uploaded and my phone wasn't letting me take pictures. It had only let me download about 300. I am devastated by the loss of these pictures. I have restored my phone multiple times and it still downloads the same pictures. I have no other problems. I called Apple and they said that the icloud only backed up these 300 pictures and my other ones were lost. But yet there were no signs of my backup being incomplete. How can I get my pictures back?

How do i get my photos back from icloud

HELP!!! I think this maye be of no use but.. I brought a new iphone on the weekend in sydney and I started using it right away and click on use icloud. I took many photos over the weekend and when I got home (sleep deprived) i plugged it into my laptop and it restored and went back to the settings of my old iphone wipping ALL my photos and videos of the weekend. Just wondering is there anyway I can get my photos and back from iCloud??? Thanks in advance...

There is a chance that those pictures may still download after couple of hours if you had your photostream on the new phone and if you turn it on now. Usually there is 30 days backlog in icloud photostream.

How can I get my photos back from a previous IPhoto?

I have an Macbook OS X. I turned on my computer this morning and I went to Iphoto only to discover that all of my photos are gone. First, I was prompted to choose a new library as 'no iphoto library was found' and wound up with what looks like a brand new version of Iphoto only all of my photos and events were wiped clean. They seem to have just dissapeared. I have the Time Machine app-although when I went to open it I found that I had to turn it on and then after that I had to scan for an airport device to use the 'Time Capsule'. I don't have an external hard drive e.i. Time Capsule..never knew I needed that extra step to use Time Machine. Otherwise, the airport device is not found. It keeps asking me to rescan.
I just want my photos back. I even did the search in my HD drive and none of my pictures were there either. I tried opening Iphoto with the option+control button to restore and find orphaned files. It just reopens and restores the latest iPhoto-the one that has nothing in it.
Someone please help me. My photos have to be somewhere- I didn't manually choose to delete them so where can they be?

Sounds like you have inadvertenly deleted your Library, I'm afriad. And as you don't have a back up you're into expensive file recovery software.
File Salvage will scan your disk and tell you what may be recoverable before you have to pay. Actual recovery will require purchase.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
One Parallels Virtual Machine
My old mail
My iPhoto Library
I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.

You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

How do I get my photos back from Beta?

Hi, for weeks mows I have been trying to get my photos back from icloud but I can't find them. I've read so many forums that say there is a bug and lots of other people saying they will be gone forever. when I follow the iCloud link it doesn't allow me to log in anywhere and I don't know what to do, can someone help me please? Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi Terence, when I upgraded to iOS 8 a pop up asked if I wanted to backup my photos in iCloud which I opted for and previously I had all my photos stored on a camera roll or my photo stream. I thought that this would store them in iCloud however when I go to iCloud it always asks me to set this up on my iPad which I have already done Rather than let me access the photos. In the settings area I have the iCloud photo library (Beta) switched on and it's currently set to optimise storage, I just can't get into wherever these photos are stored. I'm not tech savvy at all but I have read and searched everywhere on what to do (and tried some options) but I'm wondering now if I am like some other users who report that their photos went missing also when this service was launched as I did this a few months ago. Apologies for my lack of knowledge here!!!
