Can I upload photos and mini vids from iMac to iCloud

I have this collection of photos from my iPhone and iMac and a couple of videos via iMac of my dead mum.
I want all this on the iCloud thing I am suppossed to have . Can I do this  to the 5 gigs they say I have.
Will this be permanent?
Can I erase my Imac and reinstal the OS due to problems and then get that stuff back on my computer as well.
The photo library and the vids are the only thing i want to keep from an erase disk thingy.
How do I do the uploads to iCloud .
I have an account it shows in my iPhoto thing.
Please help with anything i need to do.

Then let me get this straight, for I'm obviously here because I don't know.
first you say this:

iCloud is not a backup system for your Mac.
Get an external drive and store the photo's there.

If your Mac goes kablooey anything that is currently on iCloud's servers will remain there and can be accessed with an unkablooey'd Mac, PC  or IOS device
Which has me now thinking even though iCloud is not a back up system for my iMac it will
have the photos in my photostream remain there if my iMac was to be erased and i could INDEED access them again , and all would be well in FunBoo Land.
So it's not a back up system but it will save photos and little vids made from my iPhone and uploaded to my iMac and then uploaded to iCloud.
So even though it will not be backed up but as you said these photos will be saved on iCloud  i ask you again .
How do i, with a little i,upload photos and little vids to icloud properly?
There is a share option which is also confusing me.

  • I have 2 Macs - an iMac that holds my entire iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro that I use to hold a subset of the main library - how can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library of the iMac to my Mac Book?

    I have 2 Macs - an iMac which holds my main iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro which holds a subset of the library. How can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library to the smaller 1 on the Mac Book Pro?

    Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

  • Can I extract photos and/or contacts from iPhone back-ups?

    My daughter backed up her iphone to my MacBook in May as Krista's iPhone. In June she dropped & broke her iphone, I backed it up again but the back-up displayed Unknown 12/31/00. She purchased another original iPhone I activated it & used the Krista's iPhone from May.
    I tried to use the Unknown back-up but failed it said "either corrupted or older firmware."
    She lost 100+ iPhone photo's & recent business contacts.
    My question is - I can see the Unknown back-up is there any software that will allow me to extract the photos or contacts --
    Thanks artwhitt

    I don't think it is backing up that stuff...mine is only 86 MB although I have 11gb worth on it...
    I think you have to back up all content separately...the backup is ?just settings?
    I forget to back up pics I take on the phone so I have iphoto open automatically when I connect it to the computer...I still have to import manually though.
    Contacts...I think you may be able to. But don't know how.

  • How can I delete photos and or albums from my iphone without having to delete them in all locations?  I have some pictures in an album that i want to remove them from but when I try it asks do I want to delete picture  from all loc

    I have pictures in albums on my iphone.  I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations.  I only want to delete it from 1 album.  Is this possible to do?

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

  • Can I import photos and voice clips from GarageBand?

    I have photos. I have voice clips which I have saved in GarageBand of my deceased father describing what's in the photos.
    The GarageBand Track is about an hour long, and I have split each photo description into a separate region on the track.
    Can I drag the photos into iMovie, and then attach the appropriate voice clip to each photo?
    Can I adjust the photo to show as long as the voice clip lasts, or even longer?
    Or am I using the wrong program to accomplish this?
    Many many thanks.

    OK, thank you. What is an AIFF file, and why?
    Will I then find the AIFF file under music, GarageBand, when I go to look for it, or will it be somewhere else?

  • I can't upload photos to facebook from the photo library after upgrading to iOS 8

    AFter updating ios8 i can't upload photos from photo library to fcebook..even i can't upload photos with safari browser...what can i do now??

    It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
    Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
    Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
    And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:
    Type 
    ping facebook.com
    into the window. Do you see any transmissions? What is the IP address used?

    How can you upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook without having the sync where if you delete from iPhoto you delete

    I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.
