How can I retrieve my photos and media from icloud backup?

I bought the new 4s yesterday and restored my phone with backup from the iphone 4. I got everything except the photos and my songs. I know they are in the icloud because I have always backed them up. How can I retreive them?

If you setup iCloud on the iPhone then tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Photo Stream on.

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
Can someone help????
I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.

How can I transfer my photos and music from my iphone 4 to my new iphone6

How can I transfer my photos and music from my IPhone 4 to my IPhone 6 ?

if the music was downloaded via iTunes you will be able to access it from iCloud when you set up the new device. other music that was synced to the iPhone would need to be synced to the new iPhone from the computer that you used to sync the iPhone 4.
photos can be transferred via the following method.
plug iPhone 4 into iTunes on computer. select back up to computer.
Plug in the iPhone 6 and press restore. when setting up the iPhone press restore from iTunes. plug into computer and a complete copy of the iPhone 4 will be put onto the iPhone 6. except for the music...(you will have to download your apps again from App Store but you can find them all under the purchased tab on App Store. you won't have to pay for the apps again)
please note this will delete the current memory on iPhone 6

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud?

How can I delete my photos in streaming from iCloud? Thank you.

Look, there are a million threads on this already.
The facts are:
1) you can't delete individuals photos from Photostream. Simple as that.
2) if you want to delete all the photos, then switch PS off on all your devices (including iPhoto), go to iCloud.com, click on your name, go to advanced settings and reset PS. They will be gone from all your devices and iCloud.
3) switch PS back on in all the same devices.
Let's hope this is sorted out in the near future.

How can I retrieve my photos and videos after pressing 'delete from everywhere' accidentally on my iPhone 4s?

Hello all,
So I was organising my photos and videos on my iPhone 4s and wanted to delete them from my camera roll once I had moved them to new folders. When I tried to delete them from my camera roll it asked if I wanted to 'delete from everywhere'. Not knowing what this button did I pressed it and have now lost all the copies of those photos and videos I had taken!!!
Is there any way of retrieving them off of my iPhone? Is there like a recycle bin type folder where all the deleted data has gone to from where I can recover it?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you

Your backup contains photos and videos from the camera roll, if you did not sync after that, use the latest backup to restore from: iTunes: About iOS backups and Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

How can I transfer my photos and songs from my old computer to my ipad? (Old computer running on 10.4 and not compatible with the last itunes needed by ipad)

Hi guys,
I got an ipad 2 running on iOS6 and I'ld like to put my photos and songs from my old computer (mac Osx 10.4.11) to my ipad. The trouble is that Ipad needs itunes 10.6.3 at least and that my computer can't receive this version as it is running on 10.4.11.
Would anyone have a solution to that problem?

For photos: You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can I retrieve my deleted photos and videos somehow? I deleted my photos from my iphone thinking they would be on my ipad. Now all of my photos and videos are gone some one please help.

Hello queen cash
If you have a back up either in iTunes or in iCloud before you deleted the pictures, then you can restore that back up back on your iPhone. Also note you will not have anything that you have currently on your iPhone, as it will remove the current data and put what the back up had on it. If you where using iCloud and using Photo Stream, make sure you are on Wi-Fi and have closed out the Camera app as it will prevent it from uploading the photos.

How can I transfer my photos and videos from the iphone to my computer?

I have had my iphone since fall 2010 and I have transferred photos to my computer from my iphone only once. Now I want to transfer my videos and photos but I can remember how I did the last time and I can remember where the instructions are or how I learned to do it. Any help out there? The iphone manual is useless. The Apple help site is useless.

If you're selling your iPad or passing it on to someone else, the first thing you'll want to do is make sure they won't have access to any of your personal data. Wipe iPad data before selling: contacts, messages, photos, videos, apps, account info, passwords and other personal data stored on iPad.
