Are LR Mobile photos encrypted when stored in the cloud?

I am new to Lightroom and have been exploring the mobile app for iOS devices, but before I start syncing a lot of personal photos I am curious how they are stored in Adobe's cloud.  Can anyone point me to a definitive policy that states whether photos are stored in an encrypted state on Adobe's servers?  I've seen mention of encryption for user authentication and while files are in transit, but how are they actually stored on Amazon Web Services?  Assuming someone compromises Adobe's or Amazon's systems, it would be reassuring to know that individual files are encrypted for an added layer of protection.

The photos may or may not be encrypted on the server-storage, but that doesn’t matter, because the server does need to decrypt them to send to the image data to a browser if you go to lightroom.adobe.com so all the information necessary to decrypt them is on the server, and a good hacker could decrypt things if the server was compromised. 
I mean it’s not like your browser is being set still-encrypted photo information direct from the server storage and the browser is decrypting it after you enter a private key on your side.   In other words, I would assume someone on the server side could see the decrypted photos if something out-of-the-ordinary happened, or if law-enforcement got permission, so depending on the personal nature of the photos you may not want to host them, there.
This same situation would happen for any service where photos are available for viewing in a browser from a website.

    My husband recently tried to sync my ipod to itunes and in the process he managed to loose all the photos I had stored on the ipod.  When I go to my pictures folder on my (Dell) laptop there is now a folder called ipod photo cache.  How do I view these files? They are now show as ITHMB files!

    Those photos taken or bumped photos should bi in the iPod's Camera Roll album
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Note however, that the the backup that had the photos may have been overwritten by a subsequent backup that did hot have the photos on the iPod.See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Have you looked on the computer? Maybe they were imported to the computer and then deleted from the iPod. Since the photos were not synced to the iPod they are not in the iPod Photo Cache folder .

  • Where are my photos located if I use LR CC.  What is stored in the Cloud?

    Where are my photos located if I use LR CC.  What is stored in the Cloud?

    With the desktop version of Lightroom CC, nothing is stored in the cloud, nothing can be accessed directly by Lightroom in the cloud, and the Lightroom CC program is installed locally on your computer. The creative cloud is used as a delivery system to provide you with updates and to validate that you are keeping your creative cloud account current. If you decide to do so, you can create collections of your images and share them in the cloud. And if you have a supported mobile device you can install Lightroom Mobile on that device and work on those images that have been shared in the cloud. But basic operation of Lightroom CC is no different than it has ever been.

  • No cloud symbol shows next to album list when albums are still stored in the cloud on itunes using iphone5 and IOS7

    Despite all the information online indicating that when my music albums are stored in the cloud, and not downloaded, there are no cloud symbols next to album list. However the cloud symbol does appear when I go to individual song, or track lists. I cannot 'swipe' the entire album logo in order to upload or download entire album.

    They are off the phone. The cloud shows they are available. If you do not want to see this, then go into Settings>Music and turn off Show all music.

    I don't know where to find my photos that are supposed to be stored on the "cloud".  I don't want to erase them from my iPhone until I can locate them.  I'm out of storage.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Only photos in photostream are kept in the cloud and only for 30 days. To save your photos before deleting them, sync them to a computer or an online storage solution such as Dropbox.

  • In I06, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone 4s vs being stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not downloaded. This was important to make sure I had the music I wanted when in an airplane.

    In the new i06 that I just loaded into my 4s, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone vs stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not on the phone. This is an important piece of information if you are a frequent traveller, as most of the flights I am on don't have onboard wifi, so it becomes a crap shoot as to what I will have available to listen to.
    Is there a way I can view what songs are actually stored locally?

    Go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list.

    I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I think you ave sorted my problem with your question.  I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud".  I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
    So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs.  This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
    So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
    I am totally confused now.

  • Slideshow crop photos problem when i close the thumbnail botton

    In the slideshow i use thumbnail photo "turned on" to change the pictures (is it the only way to do it?)  and manage them with crop function but when i later close thumbnail (i don't want visible) photos resize. Any suggestion ?

    I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

  • TS4002 Are pictures taken on the iphone stored in the cloud?

    Are pictures taken on the iphone stored in the cloud?

    If you are backing up to iCloud, your camera roll photos are stored in your backup (but can only be accessed by restoring your device to the entire backup).  If you enable photo stream in Settings>iCloud, photos taken after enabling it are stored in your photo stream (up to 1000 photos) for 30 days.

  • TS4036 How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud?  I no longer have an iphone, but want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud.  When I logged into iCloud, there was no tab or option to view store content.  Please help.

    How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud?  I no longer have an iphone, but I want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud.  When I logged in to iCloud, there was no tab or option to view content.  Please help.

    Without an iPhone or iPod Touch to restore the backup to, you cannot access the camera roll photos stored in the iCloud backup.  Signing into the account on your computer and enabling photo stream will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared stream you were subscribed to.
    You can redownload purchased music in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-
