Can I use icloud storage more to free up phone storage

I have extra storage on the icloud but would like to use this for my photos so that I can upgrade to 7, is there an easy way to do this?
I have 15GB storage on the cloud & 7GB is taken up with pictures - I would like to put more pictures on icloud and less on my phone.

You can, but in order to play it you would would have to download it to your phone. Music available from the iTunes store is already in iCloud (assuming it is still available in the iTunes store). All you would need to do is delete it from your phone and you will see iCloud download symbols to redownload it, as long as you have Music turned on in Settings>iTunes & App Store under Show All.
Music from other sources, such as your CDs, can only be made available in iCloud by subscribing to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Even with iTunes Match, you have to either download the song to your phone, or tap it to begin playing it and have it download in the background, in order to listed to your music on your phone.

Can I use icloud to store my iTunes library music in order to free up storage/usage space on my iPhone?

Can I use icloud to store my iTunes music library in order to free up usage space on my iPhone and iPad?

iTunes match is a true streaming service when it comes to playback from your PC. That means, you can load everything into the cloud and stream from the cloud to your PC.
To an iPhone or iPad, it's stream-and-save, meaning it will download and play immediately, but it will be saved to the device.
So yes, you can load everything up (assuming it all loads properly without problems) and stream to your PC.

Can I use iCloud as my library instead of using local storage? Would I be able to synchronize the music on my phone? and make CDs out of the my music in the icloud using itunes?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?

Good day.
I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s. All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud. Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
Note: The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
C. Gray

iCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

Can i use icloud for business

can i use icloud as a form of storage for mac computers for a small business as a way to share files sort of like dropbox?

No, use Dropbox, or SugarSync.
And think about the wisdom of 'free' services for a business.

Can I use iCloud to back up all of the pictures on my PC?

Can I use iCloud to back up all of the pictures on my PC? And, if so, how do I do it or where can I find instructions for that?
Many thanks to whomever can provide some information on this subject. Tony

Thanks for the response.
The links do not explain how I get the thousands of pictures I have accumulated on my PC over the years up into the iCloud. I have 25gb of storage space there.
Are you certain this is possible? If so, could shed a little more light on how to do it.
Btw, everything on my iPhone is bouncing back and forth to the iCloud and to Outlook perfectly. It's just my legacy photos that I don't know how to deal with.
Thanks again.

Can I use iCloud as a web host

I have no knowledge of iCloud. I have never wanted to have all of my information "out there". So my question is two fold; can I use iCloud as a web host for a webpage I design in iWeb. I'd like to advertise my condo for rental. The second part of my question is; can I only store that portion of information on iCloud, or do I need to share all of my computer info?
Thank you.

No.
iCloud isn't like our old iDisk. It's more about connecting muliple devices to the same shared data.

Can I use ICloud as complete back up for my mac?

Can I use ICloud as a complete backup for my Mac Pro? Word Files, PDFs, Excel etc>?

No. iCloud is not a general file/document storage service. There are some alternative cloud-based services that provide this listed on Roger Wilmut's site here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.

Can I use ICloud as backup for my huge movie archive ?

Hi Mac Friends, first I have to admit that I am not a computer expert, but willing to learn. I have many movies stored on 2 external HDD's, approx 3,5 TB, and I am scared of loosing data for any stupid reason. What's the best, saving data on another HDD, or using ICloud ? Thanks to all who are responding

You can't use iCloud for general file storage such as your movies. There are other cloud-based options available that will, some of which are listed here on Roger Wilmut's site: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.
If might be cheaper to just copy them to another external HDD or two, and save these offsite or in a fire safe if you're concerned about losing them.

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.

Can you use iCloud to transfer data from one iPod to another?

Hi, I'm a newbie to Apple. I'm getting another iPod touch with bigger storage, the only data I care about is Clash of Clans. Can I use iCloud to back up the data, and restore it to the iPod I want? Please help, I don't want to lose my data without the right directions.

Yes. Back up your current device to iCloud, the when setting up your new one, restore it to this backup. It will include your apps and app data (as well as other data and settings). See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

HT4859 can I use icloud to backup my mac?

can I use icloud to backup my mac?

iCloud does not provide general file storage, nor backup for Macs (only iOS devices): and if as your signature states you are running 10.4.11 you can't use iCloud at all except in the single case of being able to access email on a pre-existing iCloud account.
If you want online storage/backup you will need a third-party alternative - this page examines some options, but note that it's likely that they all require a reasonably recent system:
