HT5527 PHOTOGRAPHS and VIDEOS in the iCloud?

Can i save PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS on the iCloud?    If so, how?

No.
Photos and videos on the camera roll can be included in backups to icloud, but you can't access them individually other then to perform a complete restore (all the data) from the backup to the device (and this involves first erasing all device data before the backup is restored).
There is photo stream, which is used to sync photos from one device to another and shared photo stream where others can have your photos added to their photo data on their devices.  But icloud does not have a photo gallery.
Photos and video should always be synced to a computer or other cloud service (e.g. Dropbox) for archiving.  iCloud is not recommended for archiving, since photo stream for example only keeps up to 1000 photos and up to 30 days after which the servers remove them.

  • HT201302 I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account?  Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!

    They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
    Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

  • How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

    How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
    Thanks

    Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup.  Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
    Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later.  It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account.  If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up.  Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
    If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings.  You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad.  Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again).  They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

  • My husband saved a load of photos and video clips to icloud, please help.

    my husband saved a load of photos and video clips to icloud, my phone has been taken so i no longer have it but didnt know how i can get up my photos without my phone please help.

    Hi shaza31,
    If your iPhone was set to save photos to Photo Stream, you may be able to access them by turning on Photo Stream on your other devices. The following article may be helpful:

  • HT1222 After having my IPad restored at Best Buy, I cannot obtain my pictures and videos from my ICloud.

    After having my IPad2 restored at Best Buy, I cannot retrieve my pictures and videos from my ICloud.  What can I do?

    This is tells you what iCloud backs up for you.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    If the iCloud backup did not have the photos and videos in it, unless you imported your photos and videos to your computer, they are gone.
    You get a total of 5GB of free storage. Did you exceed that limit? Have you restored from the iCloud backup?
    Are these purchased movies? Synced photos?

  • HT4906 how do i access my photos and videos on my icloud from my wife's imac?

    how do i access my photos and videos on my icloud from my wife's imac?

    Do you mean your photos in the Photo Stream? 
    First her system and iPhoto version should support iCloud and Photo Stream:  OS X 10.7. 5 and iPhoto 9.4 or later.
    Next, she would have to log into the your iCloud account in her System/iCloud preference pane and enable Photo Stream:
    She would also have to enable Photo Stream in here iPhoto Photo Stream preferences:
    If she enables all of the iCloud features in the System/iCloud preference pane she'll be syncing your Contact list with hers, bookmards, etc.  If you want to have her only get the photos do not enable any of the other items.  If she has her own iCloud account she'll won't be able to use it.
    If you want to create a Shared Photo Stream
    so she could view the phtotos you put in it without using your iCloud account the system requiremets are:  OS X 10. 8.2 or later.  This Apple document describes what is needed: iCloud: System requirements

    Whin I try and long into the icloud, I get a message that my Apple ID is valid, but the it is not an icloud account, how can I make it one?

    To use iCloud on a PC, you must first set it up using a device with iOS5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

  • I have an icloud account which I can access via the web but when I go to systems preferences and click on the icloud it sends me to the mobileme closed site?? How do I get it to go to my icloud log in

    I have an icloud account which I can access via the web but when I go to systems preferences and click on the icloud it sends me to the mobileme closed site?? How do I get it to go to my icloud log in?

    You're saying that when you click on the  iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
    rather than giving you this?
    Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5?  Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

    Is the app compatible with the iPhone (i.e. it's not an iPad-only app) and do you have the relevant iOS version on your iPhone ? Does it show in the Purchased section in the App Store app on the phone for you to download it (re-downloading) ?

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • My headphone jack no longer works.  I just upgraded software and did all the iCloud install.

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

  • I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file.

    I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file. The thumbnails are white with a blue and white CR2 on them. Please help.

    Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is the latest for Photoshop CS4 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    The problem is that your new camera is supported by ACR 8.7 and only Photoshop CS6 and up supports this version.
    So if you do not want to buy CS6 or subscribe to the $10/month Photography Program, you have to convert the CR2 files to DNG to work on them. Your original CR2s are untouched in the process, you just can't directly edit them in CS4, only the DNGs.
    Maybe Canon offers editing software for their CR2s, but CS4 is not going to be updated and there is no way around that.
    It's not what you want to hear, but that's the situation so far.
    Maybe Elements or Lightroom has updated raw support for your camera, so I encourage you to visit those forums and ask.
