Can't see photos on icloud

I am not a tech person!  When I open ICloud on my Dell PC I see icons for mail; contacts; reminders; notes   I do not have an icon for PHOTOS -- how do I access my photos in ICloud?  Thanks for any help!!

There is not currently any way to see photos on iCloud.com
Photos (Camera Roll) are stored on iCloud as part of an iPhone or iPad backup but the backups are only able to be used when doing a complete restore of the iOS device and can not be viewed on iCloud.
The other involvement of iCloud is in Photo Stream. Photo Stream is designed as a way to transfer photos from one device to another and not as a storage mechanism. Note the following quotation from iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
After the release of iOS 8 iCloud is announces to include a Photo Library feature which will make a significant change to the above: https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2014/06/02Apple-Unveils-iOS-8-the-Biggest-Relea se-Since-the-Launch-of-the-App-Store.htm…

  • HT201077 Can't see photos on icloud (no photos icon)

    Followed t'shooting steps and checked my iPhone (iOS7 on 4S) settings and cannot see my photos uploaded to iCloud.  Link below is screenshot of what I see when I log into iCloud.  No Photos icon.    I even tried sharing the selected photos from my iPhone (to my email) but never got the email.  Very strange.    Have you seen this before?   Thanks!

  • TS3989 how can i see photos in iCloud?

    how can i see the photos from photo stream on icloud.com?

    There is no web application for Photo Stream, so you can to use your photos on icloud.com.
    You can view your photos:
    -On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
    -On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
    -On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    -On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
    You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
    The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

  • How can I share photos on iCloud Drive?

    I have a lot of photos shot with my DSLR camera.
    How can I put all my photos in the iCloud Drive and view the photos from all my devices? And how can my wife view all these photos from her devices - that is .. how can she see all my iCloud Drive photos on her devices?
    Thanks!
    Mojo

    I'm not sure understand you at this point.....
    Have you set up a "shared photo stream" to share your photos with your wife? [System Preferences -> iCloud .. then check the box next to  "Photos" and click on "Options" to the immediate right.... in the Options drop down make sure "iCloud Photo Sharing" is checked...
    Then open iPhoto - select in the sidebar the album you want to share (if you only want to share individual photos select these in the main window)
    Then click on the "Share" icon on the lower right of the iPhoto window - a little menu with icons will popup. Click on the iCloud icon in that menu... the next menu that pops up should be titled "Share"
    Click on the first item (New Photo Stream --the one with the "+" sign) and create a "shared album" - a drop down window will appear at the top of iPhoto... just fill out the form (whom you want to share it with, the name of the shared album, etc. - if you want your wife to be able to add photos to the shared album, check off the box that says "Subscribers can post"
    Your wife will have to agree to "subscribe" to this shared item (she will get "invite on her device - ) - once it is set up to see the shared photos in iPhoto click on "iCloud" in the sidebar under "Shared" and it will show you any shared albums in addition to your own Photo Stream...  on devices, to see the shared album, open the Photos app... at the bottom one of your choices will be "shared" (a cloud icon) - touch that icon and you will get a list of all your shared iCloud albums as well as "activity"...
    No need to "export" anything manual, etc.

  • Can't see photos taken on iPhone on my iPad

    I have done the setup for iCloud using the settings screens on my iPhone and iPad but can't see photos taken on one device on the other. What am I missing?

    Check Settings>iCloud to be sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos.  They are uploaded when the camera is closed, you are connected to wifi, and your device has at least 20% battery life remaining.

  • I cannot see photos in iCloud Photo Sharing

    I have shared album on iCloud, but invited members can only see photos from the point in time they accepted the invitation.
    For example:
    Day 1: Album created, Photo A, B, C added.
    Day 2: Person X added. Cannot see photo A, B or C.
    Day 3: Person X adds Photo D,E,F. Person Y added.
    Day 4: Person X cannot see photo A, B or C, but can see Photo D,E,F. Person Y cannot see any photos.
    Day 5: Person Z added. Person X adds Photo G,H,J. Person Y adds photos K,L,M.
    Day 6: Person X can see photos D - M. Person Y can see photos G - M. Person Z cannot see any photos.
    Hope that helps? Basically once  a person is added to a shared album, they cannot see any of the previous photos. Making the shared album a bit pointless if it is holiday photos? I'd have to add the people first then add the photos, and if someone has gone out to buy an iPad for this purpose, its a bit unfortunate now that they can't see the photos because they didn't have an iOS at the time the album was cr

    If you see them in iCloud or photo stream they are backed up.

  • 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.

  • I can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    i can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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. .

  • Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?

    Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

  • I can't see photos on facebook. This is not for Mozzilla 4. I had the prob from before so I use Chrome although I love Mozilla

    I can't see photos on facebook

    Hi Mariah ~
    It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
    Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
    I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
    So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
    If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
    I'll do the same for you.
    Enjoy your day and good luck.
    Shaunn

    Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not.  I see that as a separate issue to updating it.  I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
    Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point?  You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
    You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set.  If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
    Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
    If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck.  There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

    Not really. iCloud provides backup for iOS devices (not Macs), movement of photos from one device to another (but not permanent storage), and storage for syncing of iWork documents. It doesn't provide general file storage in the manner of iDisk.
