Photos on icloud?

how do i see my photos on icloud?

You can see your photos using photostream.  To do that you have to have a photostream compatible device such as an iPhone or Computer.
This explains photostream.

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Does anyone know how to get photos from iCloud back on your iPhone?

    I was having issues with my iPhone 4 not charging anymore. I went to the apple store today and ended up having to buy a replacment phone. When I was going through the set-up, I tried to do an iCloud restore but wasn't able to as the new iPhone didn't have the latest iOS 7 update. I asked the technician if I went through the set-up as a new iPhone if I was going to be able to retrieve my photos later. She said yes. So I proceeded the set-up as a new iPhone and the only thing that restored was my contacts. Am I able to somehow get my photos from iCloud and put them onto my new phone? Or are my pictures lost for good? Please help! Thanks in advance.

    Are you referring to both Camera Roll photos and Photo Stream photos? If so, then you would need to do a restore of your new phone from your iCloud backup:
    RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP
    If you are just talking about Photo Stream photos, then once you have your iCloud account signed onto your new phone, and you have turned on Photo Stream, then the last 30 days or 1000 photos should download to your device once you are connected to Wifi. It may take some time.

  • How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

    How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

    You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your  Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.

  • If I have more than one library, how can I upload all photos to iCloud??

    I have a couple of different iPhoto libraries. Now that I've upgraded to photos, I am using iCloud and it is currently uploading all the photos & videos from the library Initally opened. How can I upload the other libraries into iCloud?  Will they automatically upload once I use the option key and open the different library?? 
    Also, does Photos need to be running for things to upload to iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Kristin

    See the quote below from Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
    iCloud and the System Photo Library
    You can use iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:
    If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

    how do i copy photos from iCloud to my personal drive?

    If you mean you want to save them to your iPad, open the photo stream album, tap Select, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).  If you mean on your computer, save them to your camera roll, then import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    There isn't really a way to "save" photos to iCloud currently with non-beta software.
    iCloud is involved with photos in 2 ways -- backup and Photo Stream.
    Backup of an iOS device includes Camera Roll photos but they cannot be viewed at iCloud.com -- the backup can only be used when doing a restore of an iOS device.
    Photo Stream photos also cannot be viewed at iCloud.com; Photo Stream is designed as a method of transferring photos from one device to another and is not designed to store the photos. More info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    There is a new feature -- "iCloud Photo Library" -- coming sometime after the iOS 8 release next week: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/

  • How does iCloud Photo Library backup photos & save iCloud space

    I was reading about how to free up some space on my iCloud account (5GB).
    Since the Camera Roll is the only thing that is backed up to iCloud, I would periodically import all my photos to iPhoto and delete them from my device.  This would make the Camera Roll pictures move over to my other albums which are NOT backed up to iCloud.  Now I ran into some apple documentation which explains what exactly gets backed up on an iOS device and its reads like this:
    Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
    So basically if I turn on this iCloud Photo Library on my iOS device, it won't back up any photos to iCloud, because they are already stored in iCloud?  What does that mean?  Is this going to free up some iCloud space if I turn it on on my device?  If so, how exactly does it work that will save me space?
    Thanks

    And of those 4.3GB of backup, my Photo Library is 1.4GB.
    So my question is, how do I prevent my Photo Library from being backed up to the cloud, since I already have a backup of it everytime I connect to iPhoto and it copies all those photos to my mac?
    I don't know, sorry. It's supposed to work alongside Photos & iCloud, so that photos are stored only once. When it doesn't work you have a couple of options as I see it –
    Delete the old backups on iCloud to hopefully start over (I don't like deleting the only backup of anything).
    Forget about iCloud backups & use iTunes to backup instead, it might not be suitable if you have no computer etc.
    Buy more storage for iCloud.
    I don't use iCloud backup, it bemuses me with issues like this, there is no easy way to resolve when it fails.
    And one more question while we are at it...can I erase iphoto from my computer now that I have the new Photos app?
    That is up to you. If you are happy you do not need it & have a backup of it go ahead & remove it. You can re-download it from the app store if it is already in your Mac App store account.

  • How do I add photos to iCloud Photo Library?

    Hi All,
    Hoping for some help as I'm at a loss.
    So iPad and iPhone, both upgraded to ios 8 last week and thought I would take advantage of the new iCloud Photo Library. Works great, I take a photo on my phone and it automatically catalogs it and appears on my iPad via the iCloud Photo Library.
    Now here's the issue, how do I add photos to my library from my computer?
    If I plug either device in and load up iTunes, select my device and click on the Photos tab, I am told the following:
    iCloud Photos is On
    **********'s iPhone can access photos in iCloud. Photos can be downloaded to your device via Wi-Fi or mobile network.
    I rang Apple Support who kindly told me that I had to disable iCloud Photo Library on my device so that I could then sync it with iTunes, then re-enable it again so it would merge the two. This all worked up until re-enabling iCloud Photo Library which prompted me to delete all the photos I'd just synced.
    So now I'm at a loss, how do I get photos on to my iPad now that I have this nice new feature enabled? All I want to do is make sure all my photos are in the iCloud library.
    Thanks

  • How to upload local photos to icloud photo library

    with the new icloud photo library(beta) that was introduced in iOS 8.1, I tried to turn it on to upload my photos on my iphone 6 to icloud drive, but it warned me those photos I uploaded from my mac to my iphone will be removed.....
    So does it only upload and syns those photos I took using iphone? what about those local photos on my mac or PC, that were uploaded to my iphone using iPhoto or iTunes? Is there a way to upload  them all  to icloud drive?
    Thanks a lot

    I logged onto https://beta.icloud.com/#photos and only found a download tab, so how to upload photos to iCloud Photo Library?

  • How can I 're-upload' photos to iCloud Photo Library Beta?

    iCloud Photo Library a beta is set up to optimise iPad storage, but when trying to clean up my photo library, and opening photos to assess quality (which isn't feasible with the reduced resolution versions stored on my iPad) the full versions have downloaded and wiped out the storage capacity on my ipad!  I need to revert to to the 'minimised' version, but can't see how to do this.  Any help appreciated!

    Are you really in a hurry to move your photos?
    iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ)  The Mac part has not yet been released, but all be available early next year. We do not know yet, what the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library will be like. The Photos.app for Mac will be able to upload to iCloud Photo Library.  If you simply wait till early next year, it will be the easiest transit. Then you will be able to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture Libraries to Photos and store the photos in iCloud.
    Right now, only iPad, iPhones, iPod Touches can upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta. And if you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta on your mobile devices, the usual ways to upload photos from your Mac will be disabled. It will no longer be possible to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream. You would have to mail the photos to your mobile devices to upload them to  iCloud Photo Library Beta or use Dropbox or similar.

  • How do I view my backed up photos from icloud?

    I am trying to figure out how to view the photos that are backed up on iCloud.  My real issue is I don't have enough storage to back up my phone so I've been deleting things and saving my photos to my computer, but I'm still not able to back up iClouds.

    Hello ASLieser,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    You cannot view what photos are backed up to iCloud. If you have Photo Stream turned on, you can see what was uploaded in the Photos app.
