Backing up pictures from iPhone/iPad to icloud

Hello all,
I need help on a issue I am currently facing with my Apple devices.
I don't have nay kind of Notebook ( no mac, no windows etc...) and now I have to back up my pictures from my iPhone 5 as my storage space in the phone is pretty low now.
My questions are:
Is there a way to make a back up from my iPhone into iCloud, deleat the pictures in my iPhone and leave only in the iCloud? or
Is there a way to back up all my pics in my iPad mini ( 64gb ) and iCloud and deleat from iPhone and be able to access in my iCloud directly from my iPhone?
Bottom line is that I need to free up space in my iPhone ( i believe storing in iCloud) but being able to access from iPhone.
Thanks
Andre Reiter

oww, didnt know that.
so a quick one, why my icloud space is taken if it only shares between devices and not storage the files?
tks

    Can I transfer pictures from my IPad to iCloud?

    No. iCloud cannot be used as a storage solution. iCloud stores your camera roll photos as part of the backup, but you cannot transfer the photos to iCloud and them remove them from the iPad. They will also be removed from iCloud when you backup again, if you do that. Transfer the photos to your computer to free up space.
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    There are external WiFi devices that you can purchase for additional storage of that is what you need to do.

  • Automatically transfer pictures from iPhone to mac/icloud

    can you transfer pictures from my iPhone to my mac or iCloud automatically and automatically delete them as well on the iPhone to make space for other stuff?

    Not sure if an app can do it.
    but for sure you have to manually import them to your computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you mean back them up or share them with photo stream.

  • TS3992 If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud?

    If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud? or will all pictures remain in iCloud?

    They will be erased.  The backup only includes the data (and photos) on the iPad at the time of the backup.  To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer as explained here before deleting them: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    How do i transfer pictures from iphone to ipad?

    One way is to import them to your computer first as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Then sync the selected photos to the other device using iTunes as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    An easier way, that I haven't tried is via iCloud: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/

    Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5.  I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok.  When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up.  Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone?  Thanks Hayley

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem, HELP!!

    Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem. The only changes to the system that was functioning properly are Fios int service and router. All apple components are using the fios router. Can anyone Help get us up and running again? Thanks

    How have you been making the physical connection from:
    iPhone
    iPads
    Sony DSC-W150 camera
    ...to your Mac?
    If WiFi, have you changed the WiFi encryption method or WiFi password? If so, each device need the new information netered into it manually to get onto your "new" WiFi Network.

  • How to get pictures from iphone 4s to iphoto?

    I am unable to get the pictures from my new iPhone 4s transfered to iPhoto on my iMac (version 10.5.8).
    It does sync via iCloud to my iPad, but it will not transfer pictures to iPhoto when connecting the phone to my iMac. The phone doesn't appear on iPhoto... I don't have iCloud on my older iMac. It is not very impressive if you must have iCloud to be able to get pictures from iPhone 4s to iPhoto!
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem.  I know that doesn't help you, but at least you know you're not alone.

  • Importing movies to purple iMovie from iPhone, iPad, and iPhoto

    I have created movies on my iphone and on a Lumix camera. I am trying to figure out the best way to have all my movies in iMovie rather than iPhoto.
    I have already likely made the mistake of transfering my Lumix data to an iPad with iOS while I was in Asia. In retrospect, I suppose the best way to get those pictures from my iPad to iMovie would have been to not export the movie from my iPad to my Camera Roll and into iPhoto but rather from my iPad to iMovie.
    I also suspect that my iPhone pictures seen on Photo Stream on my iPad would have been best exported to iMovie and from my my iOS iMovie App to send to my Mac iMovie application.
    Are these two ideas correct?
    However, some of my movies are already imported into my desktop iPhoto. So, I tried dragging and dropping to my Mac's desktop. I then imported my movies (that came from my iPhone) into my Purple version of iMovie. That was fine except when I trashed my desktop movie to the Trash, it became greyed out in iMovie. So, next question is what I am doing wrong at this point?
    Next, my movies from my Lumix imported into my iPad were also then transferred to my Mac OS iPhoto. I dragged those pictures to my desktop but the format is not xx.mp4 but rather is xx.MOV. Is there a better way of dealing with my iPhoto xx.MOV's to get them into Purple iMovie?
    Finally, should I just leave all my movies in iPhoto and when in iMovie desktop just view them from the Aperture or iPhoto sidebar?  Can they or should they be imported from the sidebar into iMovie?  If so, can they safely be deleted from iPhoto or will my iMovie clips return to being greyed-out?
    I would ideally like all my movies in iMovie and not have duplicate movies in iMovie and iPhoto.What is the best way moving forward to do this properly and to be optimizing my time and organization?
    Thank you

    Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu  iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
    I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
    Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

  • HT201317 how do i restore a deleted picture from iphone

    How do I restore deleted picture from iphone 4s

    If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud.  If so, you need to perform a restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.

  • HT5085 i had backed up my previous iphone to my icloud to then transfer to my new iphone and nothing has appeared.. what do i do?

    Hello there, JamesCody518.
    The following Knowledge Base article should provide helpful steps to determine a resolution for your issue:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    Specifically:
    Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.
