Can't access photos on icloud

When I log into iCloud, there is no Photo option in the icons provided:
Any ideas?

Howdy Beancounter1976,
If you are missing the Photo option on icloud.com, I wonder how you have the photos setup.
Are you using iCloud Photo Library beta?
iCloud Photo Library beta overview - iCloud Help
If you are using iCloud Photo Sharing you would need the link to the shared album.

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

HT5903 can't access photo stream on iCloud or iPhoto

when i log into iCloud i don't seem to have a "photo" button to access photos - only calendar, mail etc - i can't therefore access photostream and the photos from wife's ipad - also i thought i should be able to just access the shared photos ex my photostream in iphoto

You aren't supposed to be able to access photos at iCloud.com.
To enable photo stream in iPhoto enable system preferences > photos and follow on screen instructions.

TS3988 Can't access photo stream and icloud, despite having the right id/password

I can access icloud online, and on my macbook pro. But for some reason, I can't access my storage preferences (it says: Details not available), nor can I access photo stream. I get an error message that says:
Photos for the iCloud account “[email protected]” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
When I click on 'review'
I can also see my storage settings (after inputting my password), and everything is correct and up-to-date. Yet it won't load the storage details.
I also don't want to sign out, because I get messages telling me that everything on my mac will be deleted, and I don't want to lose anything.
What now?
Thanks for your help,
Lutz

HT4906 I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Can't access photos via windows, everything else works iTunes, external software etc.

Hello,
Since I installed Windows 8.1 I have quite big problem, can't access photos via windows explorer. iTunes and other software can see phone and works completely fine.

Tried uninstalling all services including iTunes itself and got latest iTunes today and still no luck.
Anybody knows solution to this ?

Hello there, Confused Apples.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some step-by-step instruction for changing the email for your Apple ID:
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.

Can't access photos or videos

I can't access photos or videos on my iPad when I am in iMovie. I can access them fine on my iPhone. Thanks!

Security photo - does not show any apps that have requested access. I can not access photos via apps. How to fix it?

Apps can not access photos.
Apps never asked if they could access photos.
Security>Photos - there are no apps on the list.
I have restarted.
Backed up, restored.
No improvement.
Thanks.
ps my iphone allows access, so I know 'how' to do it usually.

Found the answer:
Go to settings/general/restrictions/photos and allow the apps to have access to photos

Can't access photos from prior tobut 1/27/10. Thu ide to desktop. Giant "!" appears.

Can't access photos from prior to 1/27/11. Thumbnails appear, but can't open, email or move them to desktop. Giant "!" appears.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
