HT5262 I have my phone backed up on icloud but none of my pictures show up. Only contacts. Photo stream is on but can I back it up on icloud so I can delete them off of my phone?

I backed my phone up 1 time to itunes and icloud and ended up losing everything. I recently backed up only to icloud and it was fine except that my photos dont back up. only contacts etc I need a beginners lesson in backing up my phone i guess. My husband daughter and I share an itunes account so i dont want to back up and lose any info or sync with them which is what happened with my husband and i. Be kind i am not tech savy at all.

Hello jnconder
If you are using iCloud to back up your iPhone you are fine. If you want to have an extra backup of your pictures, I have provided a few articles that should get you headed in the right direction. Check them out and let me know if you need any further clarification.

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • How can I transfer all my photos on iPhone to iCloud for archive and delete them off my phone?

    I do not want to simply backup my phone with iCloud.  My iPhone's memory is full and I would like to transfer all my 10,000+ photos to iCloud for safe keeping, and delete them off my phone.  Could I do that?  I know that iCloud is typically used for backing up the phone and works like a 'mirror' to the phone, but I want to use it more as an archive drive.  Please advise!

    The only iCloud feature that meets this requirement is the iCloud Photo Library (Beta). I don't think that I would trust all my photos to a Beta-level product.
    You could create a Dropbox Account and move the photos to it or move the photos to your computer.

  • If my photos back up to the iCloud and then I delete them off my phone when it backs up again will those photos be deleted?

    I need to delete my pictures off of my iPhone for storage purposes. But I'm afraid that if they get backed up to the iCloud that once I delete them when it backs up again the photos will get deleted. Does anyone know if the photos will always be in the iCloud once backed up or if I delete them after backing them up will they than get deleted after it backs up again?

    They will be deleted.  The new backup will overwrite the backup containing the deleted photos with one that doesn't and they will be lost.  Do as AnaMusic says and import them to your computer.

  • All my photos are backed up onto iPhoto, is it safe to delete them off my iPhone?

    I have about 1,600 photos on my iphone and need to delete them to move room. I have backed them all up onto iPhoto but am unsure is this ensures saftey of alll of my photos or whether there needs to be a folder in picture for them?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • HT201317 how do I save photos in my "camera roll" to "my photo stream" so that I can save them to icloud?

    Ive tried saving photos to my photostream but whenever i select a photo in my camera roll and i click "add to" it doesnt allow me to add it to any pre-existing albums or to even add it to "my photo stream". Please help me get this figured out. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

    Only photos taken with the Camera or saved to the Camera Roll are sent to PhotoStream. You can cause photos already in the Camera Roll to go to PhotoStream by various roundabout fashions like emailing them to yourself and then saving them.
    The point is, however, that putting photos into PhotoStream is in no way "saving them". PhotoStream only retains 1000 photos and those for only 30 days.
    If you want to archive photos save them to your computer or save them to a cloud service like Dropbox.

  • Iwhy can I not figure out how to view my I cloud account on my acer iconia tab? I need to be sure that all my pics are online so that I can delete them off my phone for the space. do i have to sign in on an actual computer first? I own iPhone

    whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
    If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

  • How do I transfer iMovie 11 EVENTS to an external hard drive so that I can delete them off my macbook pro to make space

    How in the world do I transfer iMovie events from my event library into my external hard drive? There is no option for that. Even when I select "copy" an event, and then go to the external drive and want to paste it, there is no paste option.
    The only time I can transfer footage from the laptop to the backup drive is if I drag and drop an imovie PROJECT file, and along with it click on "copy projects and events"
    But most of my events are not projects, and I just want to move my event videos off the computer.
    I feel like it shouldn't be this hard and frustrating to figure out.

  • If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved?

    If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved?  We can't do the IOS 7 upgrade and notice that the photos are taking up the most memory.  If I delete these, but they are backed up on iCloud, will I lose them all if they aren't stored anywhere else? 

    Hi...
    If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
    It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

  • HT201317 Once I have loaded my photos on I cloud Can I delete them off my I Phone to fee up memory

    I am new to using Icloud, once I have down loaded my photos from my Iphone to Icloud can I delete them off my Iphone to free up memory

    You could but you're taking a chance on losing them if you do.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  If you ever lose your phone, have to restore it, replace it, or turn off photo stream, you will only get back photos from the last 30 days.
    To make sure your photos are safely backed up, import them to your computer while they are in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You will get an option to delete them from your phone after importing them.

    Ive deleted contacts from my contacts list but they still pop up when i go to text and type in the name of a current contact. .  How can i delete them off my phones memory for good? iPhone 4S

    At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new.  Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

    I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.
