Help! cannot retrive photos from icloud to pc

How can i retrieve my photos from icloud then back it up on my laptop? Please see screenshot as photos are not reflected on my icloud photos under favorites.
Im using windows 7 x86

If you are using a Windows PC, you can use either the digital camera wizard or File Explorer. It's the same way as if from a digital camera.
If you are using a mac computer, use iPhoto to import them.

  • I cannot download photos from icloud to my laptop.

    OS is win7 and I have installed icloud control panel 4.0. All other data, e.g. contacts, tasks and files, can synchronise with icloud. But I cannot download photos from icloud.

    Hi Xanderway,
    I see that you are having an issue with your Photo Stream in iCloud on your PC. I have an article with some troubleshooting steps you may wish to take in order to resolve this issue, and it can be found here:
    Get help using My Photo Stream - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203511
    I added some photos to My Photo Stream on my Windows PC, but they don't appear in the Recently Added album or My Photo Stream album on any of my devices.
    To see if your computer and other devices are online, try to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos can't send or receive updates from My Photo Stream. You might need to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    On your computer, open iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel) and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure that you used one of the methods below to add photos to My Photo Stream with iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel) on your Windows PC.
    Add the photos using the Add Photos button in iCloud Photos:
    Open a File Explorer window (Windows 8 or 8.1) or Windows Explorer window (Windows 7).
    Under the Favorites menu, click iCloud Photos.
    Double-click My Photo Stream.
    Click Add photos.
    Select the photos that you'd like to add and click OK.
    Or you can copy photos from a folder to the iCloud Photos Uploads folder:
    Confirm the location of your Uploads folder.
    Open iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Click the Options button next to iCloud Photos.
    Open a File Explorer window (Windows 8 or 8.1) or Windows Explorer window (Windows 7).
    Go to the iCloud Photos folder location listed in iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    Open the Uploads folder.
    Open the folder that contains the photos that you want to add to My Photo Stream.
    Copy them into the Uploads folder.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • HELP - Need help with recovering photos from iCloud

    This may be a simple question, but I've never had to do it before, so I am asking.
    I have an iPhone 4S.  It was backed up to iCloud yesterday before I had to swap my cracked screen phone for a new phone.  How do I recover photos that were backed up yesterday?  I am sure it is a couple easy steps, but can someone let me know what those might be to restore my phone from iCloud's backup yesterday?

    Photos and videos from your camera roll are backed up to iCloud when you do an iCloud backup.
    This article tells you how to restore an iCloud backup:

  • HT5902 Help retrieving some photos from icloud

    I recently backed up my iphone5 to icloud because I was gonna get a new iphone5. Once I reverted back to my backup, I can only view roughly 30 of my photos. It shows the correct amount of total pictures and videos, but i can only view approximately 10% of them.

    Are you able to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, and if so, can you then view the imported photos on your computer?

  • I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

    I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

    I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid."  I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac.  This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5.  I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
    This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others.  I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
    I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto.  I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
    I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient.  Thank you.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

  • Pls help me how to download photoes from icloud to pc

    pls help me how to download photoes from icloud to pc

    Hi Asanyasir,
    If you are trying to download your pictures from Photo Stream, you may want to look at this article -
    iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903
    In particular this section -
    Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Hello. How to download to the PC photos from icloud ? please help

    Hi Sebnem Turksoy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to sync your iCloud photo stream to your PC, you can set up iCloud using these steps:
    Set up My Photo Stream
    Your new photos appear automatically on the iOS devices, computers, and Apple TV you set up with My Photo Stream, no matter which iOS device or computer you use to take or import new photos. For system requirements, see the Apple Support article iCloud: System requirements.
    On a Windows computer
    Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
    To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
    Click Apply.
    You can find these steps in the iCloud help pages:

  • I cannot get my photos from iCloud to illustrator

    they have been saved in an album which does not show up when i select photos and they did not upload to iCloud when i synced my photos i had to import manually. How would i go about saving the photos from iCloud to my documents or finding the file under the photos option?

    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.

  • Help! Missing family photos from icloud/atv3

    The sad story starts here ... two months ago we had a break-in and they stole my MBA, my iMac and my iPad. Lost about a years worth of family photos (luckily I had backups for older photos).
    However I switched on my ATV3 the other day (which they missed) and I can see some of my "lost" photos appearing.
    So either these are cached on my ATV3 or being loaded from my Photo Stream.
    I have a new MBP and although that has my photostream, it doesn't load older photos.
    So I have two potential courses of action...
    a) somehow get the photos off my ATV3 ... which doesnt seem possible as there is no jailbreak option.
    b) somehow access the photos from icloud/photostream ... which doesn't seem possible as it doesnt load older photos.
    Anyone out there found a workaround for this situation? I would really love to have these family photos back.

  • IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

    I cannot email photos from iPhoto.  I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

    Do you have two-step verification enabled  and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
    Then check this solution:
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Can't get photos from iCloud onto iPad since updating

    HI guys, not very technical so please bear with me  
    Basically, I updated my iPad software yesterday and all my photos disappeared. So I shared them all again from my iPhone so they would then go back on to my iPad. This worked at first and then stopped working so some photos are on Ipad but not others, and I cannot figure out why or what to do to get my photos from icloud onto my iPad. Anyone know what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?
    thanks in advance for any help  

    Can anyone help? Basically, any photos I send to iCloud are not going to my iPad now since updating. Would appreciate any advice please.
    thanks

  • Does anyone know how to get photos from iCloud back on your iPhone?

    I was having issues with my iPhone 4 not charging anymore. I went to the apple store today and ended up having to buy a replacment phone. When I was going through the set-up, I tried to do an iCloud restore but wasn't able to as the new iPhone didn't have the latest iOS 7 update. I asked the technician if I went through the set-up as a new iPhone if I was going to be able to retrieve my photos later. She said yes. So I proceeded the set-up as a new iPhone and the only thing that restored was my contacts. Am I able to somehow get my photos from iCloud and put them onto my new phone? Or are my pictures lost for good? Please help! Thanks in advance.

    Are you referring to both Camera Roll photos and Photo Stream photos? If so, then you would need to do a restore of your new phone from your iCloud backup:
    RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP
    If you are just talking about Photo Stream photos, then once you have your iCloud account signed onto your new phone, and you have turned on Photo Stream, then the last 30 days or 1000 photos should download to your device once you are connected to Wifi. It may take some time.
