Does icloud store all of my photos in case my computer crashes

Does icloud store all of my photos in case my computer crashes?

hello,
icloud stores photos that are placed in your photostream(s): 1000 photos for 30 days. i would back up to an external hard drive / dropbox, etc., however. the more redundancy the better when it comes to back ups. if you delete photos in photostream on one device, they are removed from other devices too.
best,
vincent

  • Does icloud store all my Aperture photos forever?

    Does icloud store all my Aperture photos forever?  Or only the last 1000 for 30 days?

    If you mean photo stream photos, up to 1000 photos are saved for up to 30 days in iCloud, but a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos are saved on your computer until deleted.  And if you check Automatic Import in Aperture>Preferences>Photo Stream, they will be not be deleted from your Aperture library (see http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26se ction=2%26tasks=true).

    Do Not rely on Only One Backup System for your Precious Photos....
    IMO you should have at least 2 or 3...
    One on your Computer, another on an External Hard Drive ... and a third on a Flash Drive...

  • HT4759 If my computer is about to die. Does ICloud store all my music. when I get a new computer how do I access it?

    I have a pc and wanted to know if I cloud backs up my music in case of computer failure?

    1. It depends on what country you're in and whether or not the content is still available in the iTunes Store. The iCloud copy shouldn't be considered a substitute for a backup. If it didn't originally come from the iTunes Store, only if you've signed up for iTunes Match.
    2. Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Where does mac store all my original photos since iphoto seems to have deleted them no i did not do a back up :-(

    I once had over 1000 photos which included the birth of my grandkids etc - now i have one
    I have done every thing, rebuild by holding down cntrl - dwnload iphoto manager but i still ony have 1 photo the one that i put in last week
    i have looked in the library i have looked in the iphoto masters file and there is only 1 photo
    i photo keeps freezing up so its pretty much usless
    does anyone know if these photos will be stored on the HD somewhere - ???

    Normally, your photos are stored under:
    User/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    (with "User" being your login account).  You need to select iPhoto Library and "ctrl" click and select "Show Package Contents.  That's where your photos are.
    As you only got one photo in your iPhoto, pertaining to your current login, you could try and go to your startup drive and select Users/
    If there your login is normally "User", and you find "User1", "User2" etc, then OSX has created a new user profile for that the old one was somehow corrupted.  I had this once or twice, but instead of trying to repair disk permissions, or do anything at all, I simply restarted, and the old account was restored.  Only then, repair disk permissions.
    If you find multiple "User" 's , then try to mount one of those and see if your iPhoto library is there.  It will have the same path as mentioned about..
    Any good?

  • Does the iCloud store my 10,000 photos

    Does the ICloud store all the data on my computer, my 10,000 photos and 18,000 itune songs?

    No.  It's only for storing data from mobile devices.  The following is from this document: Cloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn't include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

  • HT201342 What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
    To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

  • TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

    where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

    Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

  • New photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library

    I have just installed  10.10.3 on my Macbook and the new photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library. I have about 3200 photos in the library and only 2300 are presented for import. I only have 1 library so I didn't choose the wrong one. Any suggestions?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • How do I store all my old photos from my pc to iCloud?

    I'm just transitioning to Apple products from a PC.  I have an iPhone and have purchased extra space in iCloud.  How do I move all my old photos from my PC to iCloud?  I can't seem to find instuctions anywhere.

    iCloud will only store photos for 30 days, after which they are deleted. This is to give other devices enough time to download your photos.

  • Sometimes when I connect my iPhone to my iMac to sync, it does not download all my selected photos to my iPhone

    Lately when I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac to update files, when I select events and photos to add, iTunes does not import all events or all photos from these events.  It tells me that 672 photos were not imported and to check iTunes.  (10 Where in iTunes do I check to find out what the problem is in not importing these images?  (2) Why is iTunes not importing all selected events from my photos or skipping (not importing) selected photos?

    i figured this out through other posts. simply turn your restrictions off and restart your phone. all apps should be open to you.

  • Where does Iphoto store ratings, arrangement of photos, events, libraries?

    Hi, I currently have Leopard, I was planning on doing a clean install with Snow Leopard soon. Afterwards I plan on restoring Iphoto back to the way it was. I have a 70 gb library and importing my photos, rearranging the events, photos, and libraries would take ages if I had to start from scratch. I have my whole computer backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is where does Iphoto store the ratings, manual arrangement of photos, events, libraries, etc? Thanks

    iPhoto is a relational database program and everything is stored in the iPhoto library - it must be treated as a single entity - it is not possible to isolate components in it - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the clone back to the pictures folder of the main computer
    To test prior to doing an erase and install (the Mac does not have a "clean install") you can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the backup copy and test it - be sure to do an option launch and paint back to the main library afterwards

  • Where does iCloud source all it's contacts from?

    Hi,
    I have a really random thing happening on my iCloud (obviously effecting all my apple devices, iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro):
    I have recently had a whole lot of old contacts turn up in my iCloud contacts. Now there weird thing is:
         - these contacts are from a cell phone I would've had about 5 years ago
         - it wasn't a smart phone, was something like a basic nokia or sony ericsson or something
         - the phone was on a different number, and a different sim card, and possibly a different network
         - the contacts weren't stored on the sim card that is currently in my iPhone
         - I didn't do any importing of any kind, they just showed up in my contacts
         - The names of the contacts are showing exactly how I put them in my old phone, ie, the name + some way to remember them (like Gary the guitar guy), so can't have been synced from anything like Facebook.
    My question is, where does iCloud gather it's contact info from?? Over the years I have had hotmail, gmail, facebook, myspace, bebo, etc, does it link with them somehow?
    I receive Microsoft Exchange mail and Gmail on my iPhone, but none of these old contacts show up in the contacts of these two accounts?
    So confusing, and kinda creepy! Anyone know what is going on??
    Thanks

    Ohhhhh whoops just realised what I have done haha
    I copied a whole lot of crap off an old hard drive onto my MacBook Pro .. included in the crap was an old backup of a vCard database I must've done ages ago .. MacBook found it and decided to import it into my contacts automatically!
    As you were, Macbook ...
