Can photos on iCloud be moved into an album

I have a group of photos in iCloud which I would like in one album there for a limited time and which can later be deleted.
Is there a way to move individual photos into an album in the cloud?

The photos have been uploaded from my iPhone 5 to iCloud photos beta.
O.K.,  so your photos are already in your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and thus, stored in iCloud.
You can create an album from them in Photos  on an iPhone, iPad with iOS 8, but such an album would just group your photos and not add any safety, since an album only references the photos that are already in iCloud.
Your Mac can only access iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and download the photos using the iCloud Photos (Beta).app on the page: https://www.icloud.com,  unless you are a Beta tester for the Mac Photos.app.
You can however create an additional Shared album by sharing the photos using the Photos.app on one of your iOS devices,   see:  iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ

    Were you using iCloud? If so, have you checked your photo stream? If you weren't using Photo Stream, there is likely no way to recover your photos.

  • Can I import a "folder tree" into an "album tree"?

    I have organized a large set of photos on my PC into a nice "directory tree" or hierarchy of nested folders. The nesting structure makes sense since there is a clear hierarchical relationship amongst the photos, and there are so many of them. Viewing them is easy on my PC - I just navigate the folder structure and go into "Picture Viewer" in each folder to see all the pictures on a particlar topic.
    Now, I want to do this on my Mac. Since we lack a "Picture Viewer" function in the iMac world (unless I go look for a freeware one), I am wondering if iPhoto can hold this kind of structure. Basically, albums within albums. I've tried to create a new one and move it inside an existing one and it doesn't seem to like that. Is one level the best iPhoto can do? If so, that is pathetic. The world is more complex than that. I am using iPhoto 2.0.1.
    If it is possible, my extra credit question for whoever tackles this is "can I import the folder structure into iPhoto and keep the nested structure as a tree of albums?". Thanks.

    iPhoto is for people who want a one-app solution for managing all their photos, preparing photo books, ordering prints, and preparing slide shows, and who are satisfied with two levels of storage hierarchy and very limited image editing options. This mostly means family snapshooters. You have a very primitive early version of iPhoto which was bundled at no cost with consumer Macs in its day. iPhoto 6 in particular offers much more organizational flexibility than previous versions, but it's by no means a professional photographer's tool.
    I have nearly 100,000 photos stored on my computers. About 10,000 of them are in eight different iPhoto libraries. The best of my own work and my archives of historical photos are stored in folder hierarchies of my own design, not in iPhoto libraries, and I edit and sort them and prepare prints and presentations using them in Photoshop CS2, Adobe Bridge, GraphicConverter, ViewIt, and occasionally other apps.

  • HT4859 how do i retrieve my photos from iCloud

    Having had our Mac Air stolen I know want to retrieve all my photos in my iCloud, how is the best way to do this?

    Your only choice is to perform a restore from an icloud backup.  However...
    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • Can I move photos around in iPad?  There are some photos in camera roll, are those the ones I took with iPad?  Then there are some that are imported-I guess those are the ones from my camera.  Can I combine them into different albums?  Thanks

    Can I mover photos around in iPad?  There are photos on the camera roll-are those the ones I took with iPad?  Then there are the ones labeled as imported-I guess those are the ones I took with my camera?  Can I combine pictures from both into one album?  Thanks.

    At the moment no, you cannot move photos between albums in the Photos app directly on the iPad - but with iOS 5 (which will be free to download) in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.

  • How to retrieve deleted photos from iCloud?

    Hey there!
    I really need some help. Yesterday, I was trying to move photos from my camera role into another album. However, i accidently selected 'delete everywhere'. Before doing this though, my phone was plugged in,locked, on charge which should mean that the photos were backed up on iCloud right? But i don't know how i can get them from iCloud.
    I did have photostream turned on my phone, but not my Ipad with which the whole storage thing was connected to. Is there any way of retreiving those photos?Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Anyone..?

  • When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

    When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created.  Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

    I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
    What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track.  That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty).  It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
    iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

  • Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

    Hi there,
    While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
    Additional info:
    The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
    The photos are also on my iCloud account
    Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
    Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
    In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

    There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want.  The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
    I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad  if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
    iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac.    It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
    If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
    You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos.  Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing.  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
    I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.

    Hi Edmar
    iCloud storage is largely designed for syncing of daily work processes and "short term" storage for IOS devices.

  • I have a backup of my iPhone on iCloud.  I bought iPhoto because I read you needed it to view the photos on iCloud but I still can't find them.  How do see them?

    I took 20 something pictures on the iPhone on a particular day.  I created an album on the iPhone to put those specific pictures in.  After getting them moved to the album, I thought I could remove them from the default location they are placed.  That turned out to be very bad.  Not only did the pictures get removed from the default location, they were also deleted from the album.
    It wasn't immediately that they were moved to the album so I'm hoping the photos were backed up to iCloud before they were deleted.  I tried to log into iCloud to view the photos to see if they were in there but I didn't see anything for pictures.  I read that I needed iPhoto to see them so I bought that program from the App store and still don't see them. 
    What do I have to do to view the photos that are in my backup on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    YOu restore your phone from your icloud backup.

  • When I'm streaming photos to ipad from my PC, those will be in a streamed area. They do not show up in "pictures", and I'm not able to put them into an album. I'm using icloud. Are there any solutions of my problem?

    I would like to make an album at my Ipad. The first pictures I transfered, did get into "pictures", and I could make a photo album. Later I did get them into streamed areas, but they did not get any ways to make an album. They did not apply to "pictures", and when I make an album and tries to import the pictures, the streamed pictures do not show up. What can be done?

  • If I have more than one library, how can I upload all photos to iCloud??

    I have a couple of different iPhoto libraries. Now that I've upgraded to photos, I am using iCloud and it is currently uploading all the photos & videos from the library Initally opened. How can I upload the other libraries into iCloud?  Will they automatically upload once I use the option key and open the different library?? 
    Also, does Photos need to be running for things to upload to iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Kristin

    See the quote below from Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
    iCloud and the System Photo Library
    You can use iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:
    If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.
