If I delete photo backup to icloud - does that also delete them in photo stream?

As many others, my 5GB of icloud storage doesn't allow me to do icloud backup if I include photos, so I'm about uncheck photos from backup.
I'm just a little anxious that this would also delete photos from photostream..
Can anyone say for sure that this is not gonna happen???

Turning off photos from icloud backups has no effect on photo stream.
BTW, regarding backups - always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • HT5262 if I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to sync on computer anymore

    If I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to snyc on computer anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Syncing does more than just back up to iTunes, it depends what you were using the sync to do, if you sync content between your device and iTunes you would need to continue syncing to acheive this.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • If I delete a backup on iCloud, will that erase the data from that backup on my phone?

    I had to get a replacement iPhone 5 because of a faulty power button on my first one. In order to keep my data, I used iCloud to backup my phone and transfer it to the replacement. Now I have a backup of my old phone and the replacement and that really limits my available space. (1) Is there a way to merge these together? (2) If I delete the old backup, will the data transferred from it be deleted on the replacement? Sorry if this is confusing and thanks in advance for any helpful information.

    You can't merge backups.  Also, deleting a backup only permanently deletes it from iCloud; it doesn't do anything to the data currently on the phone.  If you no longer need your old backup go ahead and delete it.

  • If I delete photos on my iPad will I also delete them from my mac book pro

    If I delete photos on my iPad will that  also delete them from my mac book pro. I want to create more storage on my iPad but don't want to loose the pictures permanently.  They are also on my laptop.  They are all in iPhoto plus they are in photos on my iPad

    It depends on where you delete them from, where they are showing on your Mac, and what settings you have set up in iPhoto.
    If you want to keep your photos, you should be importing them to your Mac or Computer:
    PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
    If you delete photos from your device that are only showing in Photo Stream on your Mac, and you do not have Photo Stream set up to automatically import those photos to iPhoto, they will be deleted.
    You can set up Photo Stream photos to automatically import by opening iPhoto and clicking on Preferences>Photo Stream, and turning Automatic Import on. This will import your Photo Stream photos. However, if you also have photos saved on your device that are not in the Photo Stream, then the only way you can ensure that they are saved in iPhoto is by importing them.

  • If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

    If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

    i can't tell if my question is the same, or slightly different, but this thread seems closest to my question so i will ask it here so as to not duplicate:
    on my iphone 6 i have icloud photos beta on. in iphoto on my computer, i have photostream on, but auto import off. so, the only thing i have for photo stream photos is "icloud" under the shared heading.
    when i delete a photo from the icloud section in photo, it does not delete it from the photos beta app in beta.icloud.com. if i had auto import turned on, i would think this would be normal functioning with respect to the actual events that get imported, but since i have it turned off and am working with photostream itself i would have thought it would delete from the photos app on the website when i delete it from the stream in iphoto.
    similarly, deleting a photo from the photos app on the icloud website does not delete it from the iphoto photostream if i had already opened iphoto and thus the album had already been updated (though if i delete the photo from the beta website before opening iphoto, it won't show up in iphoto since it was deleted from photostream before iphoto updated from photostream).
    so, as it stands - my iphoto only sort of syncs with photostream. is everyone experiencing this? i'll be honest - i still don't get the new icloud drive and photos, so maybe the issue i am having is exactly what the photos app for osx is intended to correct when it comes out next year. or am i just wrong in how i think the syncing is supposed to function?

  • If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    Thank you
    I realize they are separate
    I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
    Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
    Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
    I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
    Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

  • On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
    If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
    Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
    Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
    Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
    You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and I want to know if I delete all the photos on this device will it also delete them on my iPad, MacBook Air and my desktop?

    I have an iPhone 5 and I want to know if I delete all the photos on this device will it also delete them on my iPad, MacBook Air and my desktop?

    No, I accidently erased my pic's and my Music from my iPhone 5 when I hooked it up to my New iMac Air when I sync it.  I thought when you sync it saves all your Data from my iPhone,,,,Wrong!  It did the opposite, and saved what was on my iMac Air to my iPhone, which was Nothing, since it was Brand new.  It won't delete the pic's from my iPad.  Lucky for me, I downloaded them all back to my iPhone from iCloud.

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    I'm quite sure that importing favorites will not delete the originals because it is only "copying" them.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have 1000  photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read.  Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al.  What gives?

    It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
    Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
    No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
    Why use a Card Reader?
    Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    Because it saves the battery on your camera
    Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
    Because it’s almost always faster.
