How can I have 3.3GB of back up on my camera roll when I have deleted ALL of my photos from my device?

My icloud is full and I do not undertstand how?  I have deleted all of my photos, all of my e mails, etc.  But it still says i have 3.4 GB on my camera roll and it will not back up to icloud anymore.  It does not seem that there is a way to actually "see" what is on you icloud. Oh I can see the storage stats as to what amount of things are using up the storage, but I want to SEE the actual items on my icloud.  Why all of a sudden is my icloud full?  When I have no data to fill it?

You are correct that you can't see the specific files that are included in the backup.  You can, of course, see all of your iCloud data from within the apps that your are syncing with iCloud, as well as on icloud.com.
The things listed under Backup Options are only the ones that you have to option to include/exclude, which is not everything in the backup.  The backup includes:
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
Apple also states (from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519), "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."  (It is possible, however, to restore some if this from your backup with some effort; it just isn't officially supported.)
Music is not backed up.  You can redownload purchased music from the iTunes store.  Music from other sources should be in the iTunes library on your computer.
If you aren't going to back up your camera roll to iCloud be sure to import it to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5.  Can't do it, except for 1 at a time.  I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer.  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5.  I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution.  Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos!  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
    If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
    You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.

  • When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

    You're welcome.  Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway.  I always import them to my computer at least weekly.  That way I know I have them.
    You might want to check out the app PhotoSync.  It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

  • How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8? (changed when I loaded trial Elements 11.)

    How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8?   When I downloaded a trial version of Elements 11, my default changed to version 11.  I use Adobe Lightroom, and when I switch over to Elements using "Edit In", it automatically open Elements 11 now.

      In Lightroom Library prefs link to the PSE8 editor app, usually found on the Mac in support files. This example is for PSE10.

  • How can I remove old Time Machine back-ups for a Mac I no longer have??

    So, i am trying to back-up a brand new MBPro to my Time Machine but it says there's not enough room. Only 13.5 GB avail and need 284 GB. Is there a way to go into Time Machine and delete all the old back-ups from my former MBPro? (I've already migrated all the files and data to the new MBP from my iMac, also on the same Time Machine.) If I could wipe out the old MBP back-ups that should create enough room.

    Delete the backups.

  • I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard to go to Lion. I went form 10.3.5 to 10.6.2 then upgraded to 10.6.8 and am now being told I need 10.7 to download Lion. My software is up to date so how can I get Lion? It also tells me I need 2gb when I have more!

    I have been trying to upgrade to OS Lion but am unable to as it requires 10.7  I have 10.6.8 and this is the latest upgrade I can get. How can I upgrade to Lion?
    I have all the other requriements, except 10.7. How do I get that?

    I just re-checked and I dont have enough ram from the outset. So the first thing I need to do is get that installed.
    If you know how I can delete this thread to stop wasting people's time, let me know.
    Sorry guys, it's back to the drawing board for me.

  • How do I delete all of my photos from my "photo library,""iPhone,""My Snap

    Please help! I have too many photos and while I have managed to download my "camera roll" photos to my PC, my photo library & iPhone still have 6052 pictures!! I already have all of these photos on my PC and they are on a back up as well. I just need to know how to delete them from my iphone so I have some storage room for apps and music.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANSWER(S). I SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT!

    The phone has to be plugged in. Across the top of the iTunes once you have selected the device are Summary, Info, Apps, Ringtones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books and the last one is photos. On that tab remove the checkmark next to Sync Photos from: If you cannot see this on your screen, your screen resolution may be too low. You will need to increase the resolution so you can see it. I don't use Mac, so I'm not sure what you will need to do, but that is where you should find it.

  • I purchased Illustrator on my iMac and downloaded it  and then I get the message that my trial version is expired and that I have to purchase Illustrator! But I just purchased it! So I deleted all the Adobe files from my computer and tried to download it

    1) I have deleted all my Adobe trial versions from my IMAC
    2) I purchased AI
    3) I downloaded AI, but I get the message that my trial version of AI has expired and that I should purchase AI
    4) But I already purchased and paid for the single app AI
    5) What to do now???

  • How can I get folders for bookmarks back in sync with available folders when saving new?

    Select Bookmarks menu icon to the right of the star displays all of my folders.
    Ctrl+D shows window to save current page, but the folder list does not match the previously mention list of folders. See screenshot. The short list is a random mix of ones I have created.
    If I save it in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, then I can open the Bookmarks menu and move the bookmark to a folder in the full list.
    Reset Firefox did not work. Export Bookmarks to HTML and Import them did not work. It did duplicate all of them, but I have deleted the duplicates.
    I would like to be able to use Ctrl+D to add a Bookmark and save it in one of the folders already created.

    Sure enough. See my second screenshot. An update must have collapsed the Bookmarks Menu. Now that I have used it once to save to a pre-existing folder, all of the folders in the Bookmarks Menu are displayed by default for subsequent saves. Thank you.

  • IPhoto has deleted all my imported photos from my phone. How do i get them back?

    When I imported the original photos, I deleted them from my phone.

    But the OP already specifically said that he "imported the original photos" to (presumably, from the title) iPhoto, which then deleted them from the iPhone. Therefore, they should be in iPhoto, and one of the options when you're importing is to delete the pics from the phone. If they aren't in iPhoto, something's really screwed up. We're assuming it hasn't yet.

  • I accidently deleted photos from my device. Can these photos still by on my Icloud storage?

    I deleted a bank of photos from my device but realized that I needed them. Do these photos still remain on my icloud storage? If so, how do I obtain them?

    iCloud syncs with your device.  You delete a Pages file on the device, then it is deleted in iCloud.  There's no way I can think of for retrieving it unless you had downloaded the file to your mac/pc.  It should still be there.
