How can I save my photos to icloud?? What do I need to do???

Hi can you tell me how do I save my pics to icloud??

Don't try to use iCloud to back up your photos.  iCloud streams your photos to your other devices but photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  It will also back up your camera roll photos but if you delete the photos from your phone and continue backing up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't and they will be lost.  You could also add them to a shared stream and they will remain in iCloud indefinitely, but they will be a lower resolution than the originals.
You also can't save any space on your phone using iCloud for your photos.  If you add photos to your photo stream, then delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from your photo stream.
If you want to back up your photos, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

    How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

    You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your  Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.

    how can i save a photo album that i created on my iPhone 4s on my PC?  I have about 10 albums and I want to save them in their own folders on the PC.  When hooking up the phone to the PC, all i see is the individual photos.  I have an iMac and a sony vaio, so i am open to transfer on either machine.
    Thanks in advance

    Have you had any luck with this? I want to do the same thing and my individual photo albums on my iPhone won't tranfer to my laptop or iPad....only the pictures.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • HT1766 how can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop

    How can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop?  Thanks

    You cannot view then in iCloud.
    Photos in iloud are only there for 30 days then they are deleted.
    You need to regularly sync photos from iPhone/iCloud to your computer.
    Sync them from iCloud to your laptop wiht iPhoto for Mac or -> iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • How can I save my photos on a removable hard drive for easy viewing?

    I just got a brand new Macbook Pro and I wanted to transfer some of the photos from my old computer over to my new computer (from a My Passport removable hard drive), but I found that this wasn't possible with how I had saved then with iPhoto.  I now have all of my photos on my new computer, but don't want to waste all that space.  How can I save the photos I don't want on this computer to my removable hard drive for easy viewing?  When I look at the removable hard drive now, it's saved altogether as iPhoto Library, so I can't just see certain ones...

    While in iphoto,hold down the command key and select all the pics you want to move. Once all the pics are selected, release the command key and select export from the file menu. Iphoto will present a dialog box where you can select the quality of the pics before exporting. Then export them to whereever you would like. If you want to put them on an external HD then select that.When you wish to view them,you can use preview or right click on any pic and choose which program to open them with.After doing this if you no longer want them in iphoto then delete them and make sure to empty the trash in iphoto after doing so.

  • How can I fine a photo on icloud that is deleted from my camera roll

    How can I find a photo on icloud that is deleted from my camera roll

    All photos captured or saved with the iPhone are stored in the Camera Roll which cannot be changed.
    You can create an album to place photos in that are in the Camera Roll which does not duplicate the photo. It creates a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. If the original is deleted from the Camera Roll, it will be removed from the album as well.
    Import the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. Create an album or albums for the imported photos on your computer followed by transferring the albums from your computer via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    but.. nothing in my album.
    how can i save some photo..

    You are checking the Camera Roll or Saved Photos album in the Photos app ? If so then you could try a reset to see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I save my photo stream pictures?

    So, Apple in it's infinate wisdom has nearly ruined my honeymoon and I'm at my wits end to save what is left of my digital archive of the trip.  How on earth can I SAVE my photo stream pictures OFF of an iDevice??  I have 210 pictures that I desperately need to save onto my computer and the only place they exist at the moment is inside the photostream.
    Not that it matters, but let me vent... the reason they only exist is in the photo stream is because of Apple's under-prepared servers for iOS5 deployment and a glitch in iTunes that wiped my phone immediately as I plugged it in today (no sync, no confirm, just plug, beep, and then a wiped phone in under 5 seconds).
    I lost all of my phone content, which luckilly I'm an exchange user so the most important stuff is always duplicated off the device.  But my pictures and video from my week long honeymoon were on my phone and while SOME of them did sync to iCloud, not all of them did (still don't know why THAT is - but that's the next mission) and NONE of my videos were in the cloud.  On top of that, no backup has been done by iCloud in over a week even though I have been on wifi and charging several nights on the trip, and all last night once I got home.  No backup.  Wiped phone.  *** Apple.
    Where I stand right now is a photo stream full of pictures that I want to save and cannot seem to get to.  First thought was that since iCloud is a cloud based service I bet I can log into a web site and see all of my content an save it from there.  Nope.  This is Apple so of course that option would make too much sense.  All I can do from the web portal is look at pretty icons and delete my pictures.  I can't even browse them, much less save them.  Again, ***.
    So next on my now restored phone (from a week old backup) I can see my photo stream and a nice little save button exists.  Good, that'll save it to the camera roll and I can copy them off like the other pictures.  Nope.  I select some pictures, click save, and nothing happens.  I select 20 or so pictures, click save, and 2 pictures show up in my camera roll??  Again, *** Apple.
    So there is also an option to add the pictures to a new album.  Ok, here we go.  Select all 210 pictures, add to a new album, and yes it makes a new album.  Now to save that album off to my PC... NOPE.  The album is nowhere to be found in the file system (where the camera roll pictures live).
    Ok, so at least I can now back up my phone so I know that these pictures won't just fall off the iCloud in 30 days.  Backup goes fine... and is 30M in size.  Son of a...!  There is no way that backup includes all those pictures.
    I installed the Windows iCloud manager - that sounds like it would let you MANAGE your iCloud content, but nope.  You can manage your payment info, and have it stream NEW photos to you, but you cannot get to your existing photos!  One last time Apple... W T F.
    How can I retrieve photos that are in my photo stream?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, select the rectangle with the arrow in it, in the top right hand corner of your photo stream screen and select the pictures you wish to save to your camera roll then tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose camera roll from the options that appear.

  • How can I find my photo on iCloud

    How can I find my photo on iCloud

    You can't view photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's what you are trying to do.  You have to view them on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  The only way to view them on the web is if they are added to a shared stream with the public website option enabled.
