Are photos that are no longer on my phone still on iCloud?

once my camera roll is backed up, can I delete my pics from my phone and they will still be available on iCloud?

I cannot recommend using iCloud backups that way, because a backup is just a copy of the files (including the photos in your camera roll) that you currently have on your phone.
E.g.
1. Let's say you create a backup "A" including your 1,000 photos in your camera roll: Backup "A" would include 1,000 photos.
2. In a second step you delete 600 of your old photos in your camera roll: So 400 photos remain in the camera roll.
3. After backing up your phone again: Backup "B" with 400 photos would replace backup "A" with 1,000 photos > you lose 600 photos.

  • Why are photos that are placed on the page not showing up in links panel?

    seems really random, I have 2 files that have several photos on them, but one photo on each is not showing in the links panel

    not sure, just checking on errors from other co-workers, but I tried copying and
    pasting from Quark and got the same result, so that is probably what they did.
    thanks

    You can't view them on iCloud.com.  And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
    If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled.  This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • HT4910 What do I do if "My Photo Stream" isn't showing all my photos that are showing in my "My Photo Stream" on my Mac? How do I fix this?

    What do I do if the 900 something photos that are in My Photo Stream are not showing up on my IPhone in the My Photo Stream.  The photo stream option is on as well yet its not transferring all my photos.. as well as I am connected to Wifi

    If you just turned photo stream on, it's likely that the missing 649 photos are older than 30 days and thus are no longer in icloud to stream to your device.
    Did you turn photo stream off and back on, or sign out of your iCloud account, then sign back in?

  • Printing photos that are in events.

    I have printed photos, 4 to a page, from events in i-photo '08 several times. However, pics from my Egypt trip do not go away after I print, thereby requiring I cancel, which requires restarting fresh in the Event. This is a "real" hassle, since it never goes to the place where I quit printing. Since I have about 500 pics, this is a REAL problem. Help!!

    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • I have an iphone 4 and i have pink and blue shading on my hone screen and i is particulary noticable on photos that are very bright....help

    My iphone is showing pink and blue shading/lines especially noticable when taking photos that are bright, it seems to highlight the outline ......help

    Ok, so in had to do this to my iPad because it crashed. if you are okat restoring your phone, you need to put it into dfu mode.
    1 Hold both lock and home button until screen goes dark
    2 once I'd does, not immidietly but a little bit after (don't wait to long because it will restart) let go of the power button (still holding the home button)
    3 hold old that for about 10 secs. Your phone screen will be black
    4 plug into iTunes.  iTunes will detect it and say "iphone in recovery mode" just press restore and if you have a backup, use that
    When I first learned how to do this, it took me a few tries but it works really well and it is a nice thing to know how to do

  • How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?

    How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?  I don't want to access them through iphoto, I want to access them individually.  I have always done it previously through searching for the img number.  But it no longer works!

    That's half-correct. Direct access is supported.
    Find the photo in iPhoto, then go to the "File" menu and click "Reveal in Finder" - it takes you directly to the image file. Or right-click on the photo, and choose "Edit in External Editor" which opens the original file in other software, like Photoshop, if you have it.
    And it's dangerous to move, rename or delete the original file or folders after you found it, but safe to do other things.

  • Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

  • When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

    To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Click the Photos tab.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
    If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
    Click Apply.
    To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
    Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.

  • I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc.I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loos my photos and his music

    A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
    It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

    Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
    As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
    I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

  • Imovie HD 6.0.3 not working with any photos that are 3MB or larger?!?

    I am unable to see any pictures I have taken with my new high resolution camera that takes photos at 3MB and larger file size. They can not be seen in the preview pain nor in the timeline bar to be able to edit them. I can use and see all my old photos that are less than 3MB in size just fine. I have tried changing my playback settings with no help. The strangest thing is though I can some times see them and manipulate them but inevitably they go black again in the preview pain and the time line in iMovie. Can anyone help.

    Thank you for your help but I have only deleted a few pictures and I have hundreds and none of them will render. They all still appear as black. And are you talking about re-importing all my new pictures into iphoto and then dragging them into imovie through the quick view media window? I went to one orignal photo and directly dragged and dropped it into a project that is having the trouble and it imports ok and then when the red bar in the time line makes it to the end of the picture frame section it goes black again. Also I created a brand new project and dragged and dropped 4 new original pictures into the time line and the same thing happened. The most confusing part is that it works fine with any older picture I have that is less than the 3MB size picture I have from our new 12 megapixel camera by Cannon which stores the files in .JPG format. Is it possibly a glitch or a corrupt program file within imovie itself? I have also restarted the program and the computer just in case and there is no change.

  • HT201317 Is there a way to get photos that are over 30 days old onto icloud (and then to my windows computer through photostream)?

    I was wondering if there was a way to get the photos that are over 30 days old into my photostream on my computer. My iPhone 5 has 1,000 photos in the photostream but only the ones that are less than 30 days old go on to my computer. I can't find any setting on icloud either- just yes/no photostream and then my photostream and the share option. I want to do this so I can view my older photos on my computer so I can save them in my computer's library.
    Thanks!

    No. PhotoStream only stores a maximum of 1000 photos for up to 30 days as stated in all descriptions of the service. You're supposed to download photos you want to keep within 30 days of them going to PhotoStream.
    PhotoStream is not a permanent storage solution.
