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.

    There are two methods to recover deleted imessages.
    1. Restore them from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • I have a Micro SD card with files on it from a samsung phone. I want to load the pictures and pic stitch items to my apple computer

    I just transferred to an iphone from a samsung. At the store they loaded my pictures and files from the phone to a micro SD card. I have a micro reader that I used in USB port. Question? How do I retrieve my pic stitch photos that were stored in my samsung phone? Shouldn't they be on the micro SD card?

    Do you mean that the store transferred the photos from the iPhone? If so, how did they accomplish this? An iPhone won't store photos directly on an SD card, so it depends on how the store made the transfer. Normally you would just insert the card in the reader and it would mount in Finder on the Mac and you'd just drag the photos to the hard drive, but the format of the card may be wrong.
    If you're referring to a card from the Samsung, then it will probably depend on the model of phone you have. If you'll post back with that, someone can probably offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • After iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive, after iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive

    I was just about to order a photo book, using photos stored on an external hard drive. I organised the book and pressed 'buy'. IPhotos instructed me that I needed to upgrade and so I went on the ASpp store, bought the upgrade and installed as directed. I then used the iPhoto Library upgrader as directed.
    After the iPhoto upgrade I can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive. I am able to access the photos stored on my internal hard drive - the remainder (including the photo album) seem to have vanished into thin air.
    Any suggestions please?

    What format is the external drive?

    Hi Tania1894,
    If you do not know your iCloud password and did not receive your reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email

  • HT201317 i have recently installed icloud on my pc & have activated photo stream on my iphone.  only a portion of the photos from my phone are now available on my pc.  Why haven't they all transferred over?

    i have recently installed icloud on my pc & have activated photo stream on my iphone.  only a portion of the photos from my phone are now available on my pc.  Why haven't they all transferred over?

    When you turn on photo stream on a device that is the source of photos, only the photos you take in the future will sync to the stream, not the photos currently in the camera roll. 
    When you turn on photo stream on a device or computer that will receive photos from other devices, only the photos that have been on the servers for the past 30 days will sync, all older photos have been deleted from the servers.
    To sync camera roll photos that weren't part of photo stream, you need to sync them manually using itunes.

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I want to tell you that I am very disappointed because I just read that in photo stream my photos are stored only for (30) thirty days.I didn't know that and I didn't have the time to save them on a device.
    I was robbed of mobile before (3) three days and I lost 2.000 photos!
    Is there any possibility to retrieve them?
    If it was possible that would be great as I would save them immediately to my computer instead of losing them again.
    Thank you for understanding
    Kind Regards

  • My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
    All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
    Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
    Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
    Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
    Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

  • Do iCloud can trace my lost phone beside Apple  product.

    Do iCloud can trace my lost phone beside Apple products.

    iCloud can only track Apple computers, iPhones and iPads, and then only when they have 'Find My ....' enabled, are switched on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. It cannot track devices from any other manufacturer.
    I have not heard of any non-Apple device which provides tracking, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that none exist: you would have to take this up with the manufacturers of these devices.

  • I water damaged my iPhone and want to get my photos back. My iPhone was ios7 but my icloud synced to my work ipad on ios8. Is it now impossible to view any data from ios7 on icloud drive? Any help to get my photos back please!

    I damaged my iphone 5s and want to get my photos back. It was submerged in water for a good five minutes (and is now in rice) but I'm pretty sure it's dead.
    I really would like to get my photos back. I wasn't plugging in my iphone and backing up, I just assumed it did it automatically because about a week ago I had a message saying automatic backups were stopping as my icloud was full.
    My work ipad is running on ios8 (as of a few days ago!) but my iphone was on ios7 as I didnt have enough space to install the update. This means that my icloud is now icloud drive and I cannot view the stuff from my ios7 device without upgrading it to ios8. Trouble is, I cant upgrade it because it's in a rice bowl.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Any idea if I will be able to access my photos on icloud at all? I'm not very hopeful for my phone working again and downloading things that way!
    Thanks!

    Photos that are in the cloud stay there until they are removed by a device that has the right privileges. If your iPad is logged in with the same AppleID, then doesn't it show the photos from iCloud?
    You will only be on iCloud Drive if you expressly chose to upgrade.

  • I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my other phone

    I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my old iphone; hoping they are on the icloud somewhere

    I am assuming that if it was done at the Verizon store that it was an iCloud backup.
    On the phone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    When the phone reboots it will be back to factory. Go through the setup and when it asks if you want to setup as a new phone or from a backup, choose to restore from iCloud Backup.
    The screen will look like this:
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you are not sure if it is backed up and you have anything worth while on there now then you should backup before you start.

    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/

  • I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

    I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. In other words, I want it to sync with the playlist as it exists in iTunes Match. Thoughts?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

  • 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!

    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.
