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.

Can't access photos and videos from Library for uploading to net or iMovie

I've been downloading my pics from my Nikon L18 for the last 6 months but cannot access them from the library itself; for instance if I'm trying to upload a pic onto Facebook or trying to import my videos into iMovie. When I'm in iPhoto I can see the pics through my albums, but they won't show up under Events or Library. Am I importing something incorrectly?

If you can see photos in an Album then they are in the Library. Events and Photos are just different ways of viewing the Library. It’s simply not possible to see pics in an Album that are not in a Library.
Or are you trying to access files in the Finder?
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 iPhoto Library Manager 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.

Software was updated today at Apple Store, and now can't access photos and videos in iPhoto

I brought my iMac into the apple store today as I was having issues with programs freezing. They wiped everything clean, reinstalled my programs and updated me to the current version of OS. After I transferred my info back in from my back up hard drive, I went into iPhoto to check to make sure everything was ok. I got a message stating that I had to update iPhoto to work with the current software to be able to view/use pics. I clicked ok, and everything updated. When I now go to iPhoto, all of the events are labeled correctly, but all but 2 are black with no key photo (even though I designate one). Basically, the screen is all black with all the blank black event squares. As I scroll down, the key photos will appear for 1 second, and then disappear. When I go into the event, I see all of the photos very small, and when I try to enlarge them or click on them to edit or view, I get a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. When I click on any movie/video, I get a message saying that "the movie contains an invalid data reference". I have about 8,000 photos.
What is going on and how can I fix this?????

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

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.
There is error 28 in device manager.
Tried uninstalling all services including iTunes itself and got latest iTunes today and still no luck.
Anybody knows solution to this ?
(iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.4)

Is it just me, who got this issue ?

I can't download photos and videos from my iphone

Hi,
I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Can't download photos and videos from my iphone because my PC doesn't see it. Also my camera roll doesn't show right thumbnails and when i open a photo it shows it in low resolution. Only after i start editing it shows the photo itself in original resolution. iTunes recognises my phone but freezes on back up. When i updated my phone to ios 5 everything was wiped clear and i lost all of data that was in it. Please help me, i do not want to lose my data again.
I plugged it in to another pc (win7) but no files in DCIM.

appears to be one of the bugs associated with ios 5 that need to be worked out. (i had a problem where I had music on my phone, the phone didn't recognize the music but the computer could find it)
While I don't know how to fix the immediate problem, I have a workaround that will get you past this if you are willing...
My suggestion is to turn on icloud and photostream on your iphone, and download and install the icloud control panel on your pc found here
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
take a "picture" (quickly press the home button and lock button at the same time) of each picture on your device so they show up in your camera roll and will sync to your photostream cloud. This will in turn cause your pc to download the photos from your photostream cloud via the icloud control panel. Your photos will be on your computer, and you will never have to sync your phone to get photos off your iphone again.

Can I access amazon prime videos via Apple TV?

I am an Amazon Prime member. I also have Apple TV. Can I access Amazon Prime videos via my Apple TV?

I was about to buy Apple TV when I found out about this. Looks like I'm getting ROKU this weekend instead. It's such ashame that everything has to be competitive. Geez...Apple is killing the industry so why worry? I have to look at the bottom dollar, and paying $79 for Amazon Prime and unable to stream to my television...and since Roku is $49 cheaper than Apple TV and I have more streaming content...looks like the smart choice.

Iphone 4s - How can I import photos or videos from a PC

You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

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

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Can't delete photos and videos from my iphone

i have photos and videos on my iphone 5 that are taking up way too much space and i cannot delete them.
no photos appear in itunes, under device/photos tab, and no albums are synched in any way to aperture or iphoto.
i cannot see them on my iphone to individually delete them; this would be time consuming if it were possible.
in preview, i can see the photos and videos, but they are greyed out and i cannot delete them.
my phone is running out of memory because of these videos and photos. please help.

In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
This should help

How do you fix this error? Can't access photos Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable

How do you fix this error? Can't access photos----" Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and use a new library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
