How do I access the cloud and moreover, why are my pictures not on my Itunes, even though they're backed up on the cloud?

In trying to sync my Iphone 4, I noticed that none of my pictures are not my Itunes, even though they've been backed up on the Cloud.  My Itunes also states that I'm over my space by .4 GB although my phone says i still have 2.7 GB of space left.  I'd like to delete my pics off my phone, but not until I know they're backed up properly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

photos taken on your iphone and show up in photostream on your ios device can be automatically downloaded to your computer.
if you have a mac, the photos in photostream automatically download into your iphoto application

if you have a pc, the photos in photostream can automatically be downloaded into a folder called "photostream" in your photos folder on windows.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
you no longer are required to ever hook up your ios device to your computer to extract photos again (you will have to if you want to get videos off of your iphone).  Simply connect your computer to the internet at least once a month, and all photostream photos will download into the proper place (outlined in the above links).

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

    I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
    Videos on your phone should not do this.  Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

  • Ipad 2 not recoginzed by itunes, even though has done so in the past. Tried all recommendations by online support.

    ipad 2 not recobnized by itunes, even though it has done so previously. tried all tips provided by online Apple support. any ideas.

    Well I finally had enough and completely re-installed WIndows 8. Initially this had no effect, but then I started getting error code '0x8000084 - unable to connect to iphone' which I took as a positive because at least now it was spotting there was a device even if it couldn't connect to it.
    Going through the same steps as above I plugged the iPad into one of the USB3 ports on my PC and as if by magic, the iPad popped up and, as I write this, is happily syncing.
    I'm running with a new i7 Ivybridge motherboard, I guess there must be some driver issues with the USB2 ports, hopefully rectified soon.

  • How do I know if the person I sent the files to received them? I had not received any notifications even though I checked that box...

    I sent some photos with Adobe Send. I checked "Notify me when recipient viewed." I have not received any notifcations, even though it has been several weeks. Does this mean the recipient never got them? Doesn't the recipient receive an email from Adobe with download information?

    Hi Rocket4,
    Yes, your recipients would've received an email from Adobe with a link to the file that you sent.
    If Notify When Recipients Viewed was selected for that file, you should definitely have received notification when your recipients viewed their file. So, it could be that the emails were delivered to a junk mail folder.
    You can also see who's viewed your files by logging in to cloud.acrobat.com/send, and clicking the file that you sent. On the right side of the window, you'll see Viewed By, with details of who's viewed your file, and how often.
    I hope that helps.
    Best,
    Sara

  • TS1702 Several icons of apps I have previously installed are no longer available on my device even though they register as installed when I go to the App store. Any ideas how to access these lost apps?

    I have previously installed several apps. They no longer appear on my phone. They do however appear as installed when I access the app store so I cannot reinstall them any ideas on how to re-access those apps or uninstall and reinstall them so I can use them?

    How many pages of apps do you have? You can only have a certain number of pages before it pushes your extra apps off the pages but is still on your device.
    Connect you device to iTunes on your computer and on the left hand column Devices and the name of your device should show. Select your device and the in the summary pane above the picture of your device you can select apps there and see if the apps show on the right side for sync apps. If they do then you will have to either remove some apps or consolidate your apps into folders.

  • After charging ipod says there is not music on ipod even though storgage useage indicated all of the music is still there

    I recently charged/synched my 160 GB ipod classic - I may have disconnected it before it was ready.  Now the ipod says there is not music/playlists on the ipod - when I had used up over half the space previously.  I think the music is still on the ipod because it indicated something listed as "other" is taking up the same space the music used to take up.  How do I get the ipod to go back to recognizing the music?

    Other is corrupt files, probably caused when you disconnected. Connect the iPod to iTunes and use the Restore button on the Device/Summary pane. This will remove everything and then re-load the iPod with the contents of your Library.

    Thanks for the tip - didn't work for me unfortunately.   Is it necessary to restart after removing the preference file?
    Yes. However this is the process I should have recommened. Remove the plist as mentioned about then restart the computer in Safe Mode and then try Software Update in Safe Mode. Once done then restart normally. A Safe Mode restart will clear some caches, it's possible one has become corrupt.

  • My charger switched off my iPhone and now my phone will not switch on unless connected to the charger. But, I cannot access wifi or my sim and the date and time resets. It does not connect to iTunes and freezes after five minutes

    It will not recognise sound and if I take it off the charger, it immediately switches off. I've installed iOS8 previously but nothing is working. Please help!!

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • HT4743 why are TV series not available on Itunes when they are over 2 years old and are available with Netfox & Lovefilms, E,G The Americans series 1 but not 2 or 3, Revenge series 1 & 2 but not 3. can anyone help were I can download them please

    Itunes is not up to date with these series, Revenge series 3 and The Americans 2 & 3, can anyone help were I can stream this to my Mac or ITV please

    It is up to the content owner as to when, and if, specific content is available on itunes (or any outlet for that matter). Very often a network or production compnat willhave exclusive deals with streaming outlets for a period of time before a seaon of a series is available elsewhere.
    I can't speak to most of the shows you reference, but in the case of The Americans, there has only been one season so far. Season two isn't schedule for broadcast until February of next year.
