Don't See Photos on iCloud

So I recently paid to have the extra storage on iCloud so I could backup everything on my 5s, including my camera roll. After just completing a backup, which was just over 13GB in size, I can't find the photos anywhere on iCloud. I checked my settings and everything appears correct (photos are turned on in iCloud settings, including both "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing"). Documents and Data is turned on. Even the little gray text below the iCloud Backup setting button says "automatically back up your camera roll, accounts, documents and settings when iPhone is plugged in... etc". How do I access the photos through it webinterface of iCloud on my PC?
All I really want to do is get the photos and videos off my phone and onto my PC for backup so I can start clearing space off my phone. Whenever I plug it in via USB it doesn't show my phone as a storage device, so I can't access photos that way. And yes, I tried the solution mentioned here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25297740#25297740 and when I try to install the driver it tells me "iphone folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems"
So incredibly frustrating...

I don't see any option in iTunes to download photos from my device to my machine. The only option I see is to "sync photos from", but when I've tried that in the past it erases the photos on my phone and replaces them with whatever's stored in that folder.

Don't see photos from icloud. Replaced broken 4s w/new phone. Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage. How do I use this backup?

Please help. Replaced broken phone w/new 4s. I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store. Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there. Now they're not. I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up. I NEED those pictures and videos. They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently. Please I need them back. I feel like I've lost her all over again. Please someone help. I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com. Please someone help me get those pictures back. They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below. This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library. This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs. As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores. If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone. If prompted to back up again, decline.
Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

How do I see photos in iCloud to make sure they are backed up?

How do I see photos in iCloud to make sure they are backed up?

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

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

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.

In Settings\iCloud Don't See "upgrade to iCloud drive" or "set up family sharing"

I would like to use family sharing. We have iOS8, but in Settings\iCloud we don't see "upgrade to iCloud drive" or "set up family sharing". I am unsure what else to do. I searched support, but they all see to assume we can see these settings.
Help!

Go to iCloud.com on a computer. To see them on your iPhone go to iCloud.com in Safari. Tap the URL field. Pull favorites down and tap request desktop site. Sign into your iCloud account. Now you can view iCloud Drive or Photos if you turned on iCloud Photo library.

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.

Cant see photos on icloud

cant see photos on icloud

Not meant to display your Photos on iCloud. It is meant to setup Photostream so that when you take a new snapshot on one device and through icloud, that photo will appear on Photostream album on all Devices and your computer(if you have iCloud control panel installed on your computer)

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

You're welcome

I backed up my contacts to icloud from my iphone 4, but I don't see them in icloud?

I have an old iphone 4 and a new 5c. I backed up my contacts to icloud but don't see them there. All I see are the new (very few) contacts from the new phone. I am using the same icloud and apple ID. Do I have to change any settings? And if so, where and what?
Thank you for your answer!

iCloud doesn't backup your contacts, except as part of a full iOS device backup.
Turning on Contacts in iCloud Settings is NOT a backup. That is syncing.
Syncing and backup are not the same.
If you are having problems with iCloud syncing contacts between iOS devices, iCloud.com and your computers (and not with the backup function), see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

Cannot see photos on iCloud - ???

Hi all,
I am prepared to admit that I am not as smart as a fifth grader. I do not understand iCloud at all. The only thing that transferred over to the web is my contacts and my notes. I need pictures and music in storage. I have some questions. Help if you can.
1. I created a folder on my desktop for the photostream pics, but it is empty. Why?
2. Why can't I see the pictures online? I thought that was the whole point so I could free up space on my camera by getting these 700 pictures off of it. '
3. I read somewhere that they only stay online 30 days, or 30 days the photostream deletes...or something.
I JUST DON'T GET IT!
All I want to do is backup everything in my iphone, and get my pictures on to my PC, and have them stored in iCloud in case something happens to both of my devices.
Smart people...help me.

Using iPhoto-updated version on mac mini, how do I see photos through iCloud on my ipad2?

I have a mac mini where we have 3K pictures. These are all in iphoto and we just purcased the ipad2 and are using icloud, but we cannot see pictures that are stored on the mac mini. Need help

iCloud is a method of getting photos from one device to another, not a way of viewing files. So, if you want to add the photos to your iPad, add them to the Photostream on your Mac.
Regards
TD
