How to Automatically Backup Photos to Windows PC HDD from Photostream

I have iCloud and Photo Stream up and running on my Windows 8 PC. I want to save space on my iPhone and iPad SSDs and backup photos from my PhotoStream to my Windows PCs hard drive for archiving and then delete the photos from my camera roll on iPhone & iPad. Apple states that it automatically imports every PhotoStream photo to your PC if you have it set up. I have found a ton of confusion about this issue searching the forum and Google about this issue and do not know what to believe. Apple states that it automatically backs up photos to a PC HDD here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html under the Master Photo Library section.
1) Are the pictures under the Pictures > My Pictures > Photostream > My Photo Stream saved there permenatly? Or are they removed after the 30 day/1000 photo limit? The file path says they are on the hard drive and not on the web.
2) If they are not saved there permently, are they saved permenatly somewhere else?
3) If this is just how the Photostream works, then how can I have these photos automatically backed up to my Windows PC hard drive so I can delete them from my iOS devices. If this is not included in the Photostream on PC service, what other software can I use to do this automatically once a picture is on PhotoStream? Am I reading the apple.com/icloud web site incorrectly?
HELP! lol Thanks in advance!

The 30 day limit is how long they remain in iCloud, not on your devices. After 30 days, photo stream photos are removed from iCloud and are no longer available to download to any new device connecting to your photo stream.
A rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will stay on your iOS devices until your delete them. When you delete them from photo stream on any of your devices, they are deleted everywhere. If you plan to do this, copy the photos from your photo stream folder on your computer to another location first.
Apple's documentation is a bit unclear about whether or not the 1000 photo limit applies to a PC (they can be set to automatically import to an iPhoto library on a Mac where they are not deleted).* As you device approaches 1000 photos, you might want to take some test photos to cross this limit to see if the earliest photos are deleted from your computer.
*From (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486):
"Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream."

Yest it will restore photos deleted from yur iOd probvide that the photos were taken before the the last synce/backyp was made. Make syre yu have automatic syncing turned off (Itunes>Preference>Devices>Check the box that says prevent auto syncing when connected). Otherwise when connected, a backup that reflects the deleted photos will be made and will replace the previous backup.

TS4036 how do i backup photos and music from my computer to icloud

How do I backup photos and music to icloud to download to my iphone4s or ipad. Not having any luck transferring by direct connect

You can redownload music purchased from iTunes as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. Music from other sources can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match.
Photos can be transferred by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. Or, you can transfer them over wifi by using an app like PhotoSync. To stream them with iCloud, you have to set up iCloud on your computer as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, enable photo stream, then add photos as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.

To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iDevice to your PC.
Launch iTunes,
Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.

how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are;
then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

Two ways:
1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

How do I backup photos in iPhoto to external hard drive?

How do I backup iPhoto photos to an external hard drive (not a Time Machine drive)?

Just the Photos?
File -> Export...
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
The iPhoto Library?
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Hello Venu,
To be able to monitor the database on your Solution Manager system:
-> Please check if the database client software installed on the
   application server. See notes:
    822239     FAQ: MaxDB Interfaces
    649814     Updating MaxDB/ liveCache client software
-> What is the version of the database? What is the SAP Basis SP on
   your Solution Manager system & what is the SAP kernel version
   your Solution Manager system?
-> If the system is NOT running with MAXDB, you need MAXDB database-dependent part of the SAP kernel, which is known as the DBSL installed on the application server.
   SAP notes :
   325402     dbadaslib/dbsdbslib: How do I apply a patch?
   822239       FAQ: MaxDB Interfaces
   After that the application server need to be restarted.
-> See in the SAP note 588515 the section 3.
   Call transaction DB59, Select "Integrate database" & create the database
   connection, for example, TEST < You could name it MAXDB_<SID> to have
unique connection name>. And follow the further instructions.
Please run the 'Connection test' after that & review the log.
After the database connection was created in /ndb59 you could double click
on the created connection TEST .
Or /ndb59 -> select connection -> click database assistant bottom =>
it brings you to the database assistant (DB50/DB50N).
And in the database assistant you could click on Alert Monitor and activate
the database MTE tree.
You could run the /ndb50n transaction & specify the created in the /ndb59 database connection TEST and execute to monitor the MAXDB database on your system.
-> Please review the SAP note:
      431508     SAP WebAS - using DB13C or DB13 for SAP DB systems
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
