Access iCloud photos in Instagram ?

I can't find any really up-to-date information so I thought I'd start up a new topic.
I want to add my "real" photos to Instagram (i.e.: photos taken with my DSLR , not just the iPhone pix)
Those photos are in my MacBook Pro via iPhoto
I have Instagram app on both iPhone and iPad
I've set up iCloud on all three devices
For a while I rigged a way to access my photos from an "Album" that was linked to my Instagram account ( but I'm not really even sure how that happened ) however that seems to have gone away suddenly (again, don't know why) and I can only find iPhone pix.
I can't find a way to link or access iCloud via Instagram.
MacBook Pro Mavericks 10.9.5
iPhone 8.1.3
iPad 8.1
Any advice?
Thank you!
eah

You can access your photos from photo stream on any of your devices.
If you delete photos from the camera roll they aren't deleted from photo stream, if that's what you are asking.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

HT204247 How to access icloud photos on laptop?

I cannot access my icloud photos on my computer. I login to icloud and click the photos icon. It states the photos are loading but just spins forever. I can access contacts, mail, and everything but the photos.

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/

Chrome Access Limits to iCloud Photos Beta App?

I wonder if anyone has found that there are limits to accessing the iCloud Photos Beta app when viewed in the Chrome browser.
Here's what happened for me today.
On my 2012 iMac: No problem viewing the iCloud Photos Beta app in either Safari (naturally) or in Chrome.
On my 2010 MacBookPro: No problem viewing the photos in the iCloud Photos Beta app in Safari ... but no sign anywhere of the Photos Beta app when viewing iCloud.com in Chrome.
Able to Access iCloud Photos Beta?
Machine
Safari
Chrome
2012 iMac
Yes
Yes
2010 MacBookPro
Yes
NO
Anyone have a similar experience ... or an explanation?
And does anyone know of up-to-date speculation about the timing and features for a release of a true native iCloud Photos app for OSX Yosemite?

"they have to stay on my phone forever": yes, though there is an option to reduce the quality of the iPhone copies in Settings (which you seem to be aware already). This might change though, as Apple has a tendency to change their Cloud services often. They had .Mac sync, then MobileMe, then iCloud Photo Streams, now iCloud Photo Library; who knows what they'll come up with next !

Problems on uploading photos to iCloud photo library

I had a problem on uploading photos to the iCloud photo library yesterday.
It shows that my mac is uploading my photos to iCloud but the numbers have stuck for days, I checked my WIFI and rebooted my mac for two times but it still didnt work.
I also turned on iCloud photo library on my iPad air and, similarly, the numbers still stayed the same....

There is probably maintenance work going on. Today I go continually warnings, that the photos cannot be found, when I tried to access iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from the iCloud page. Other threads reported, that the iCloud Photo Library (Bata) page was continually stuck on updating.
It is still a Beta service after all, accessional undergoing updating and reconstruction.

How can i access my photos in icloud with my ipad?

I am in desperate need to get my photos from my iphone 3gs synced with all my apple devices. I was able to sell my iphone 3 but since it is still synced with my ipad and iphone 4, the new owner of the iphone i sold cannot register his own apple id.
Also, i was hoping that i will be able to retrieve my photos from this iphone 3 backed up in icloud but do not know how i can access icloud through my ipad. Im not a very techy person and im really hoping someone will be patient enough to help me since some of the pictures in that iphone 3 were my kids' pictures and i was not able to save them in my laptop before it crashed and was reset.
Please help me. Thanks

When I forgot my password for home screen and it disabled my iPod, i had to reset my iPod. My iCloud had saved all of my data such as photos in storage or something. But I do not know how to access these photos. Any ideas?

How do i access my photos that were saved in icloud storage from before i had to reset everything. I know the photos can still somehow be accessed because icloud showed that space was being taken up for photos straight after i had reset the device and there were no photos there on the device at the time. So any ideas on how to access these photos from icloud? Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

My iphone was lost and I need to access my photos from my computer using icloud. How do I do this?

My iphone was either lost of stolen. I am able to access my contacts from icloud, but I don't know how to access my photos. Is this possible? if so, how?

Hi deekswife,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you want to view Photo Stream photos on a Windows computer you will first need the iCloud Control Panel installed. Once installed, there will be an iCloud Photos location selected on your computer. Please review the following article as a reference.
iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13693
On a Windows computer
Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
Click Apply.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Do I understand correctly that if I own a Mac but no other Apple mobile devices, I will not be able to access my photos, documents, contacts, and calendar in iCloud?

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.
