How do I add photos to iCloud Photo Library?

Hi All,
Hoping for some help as I'm at a loss.
So iPad and iPhone, both upgraded to ios 8 last week and thought I would take advantage of the new iCloud Photo Library. Works great, I take a photo on my phone and it automatically catalogs it and appears on my iPad via the iCloud Photo Library.
Now here's the issue, how do I add photos to my library from my computer?
If I plug either device in and load up iTunes, select my device and click on the Photos tab, I am told the following:
iCloud Photos is On
**********'s iPhone can access photos in iCloud. Photos can be downloaded to your device via Wi-Fi or mobile network.
I rang Apple Support who kindly told me that I had to disable iCloud Photo Library on my device so that I could then sync it with iTunes, then re-enable it again so it would merge the two. This all worked up until re-enabling iCloud Photo Library which prompted me to delete all the photos I'd just synced.
So now I'm at a loss, how do I get photos on to my iPad now that I have this nice new feature enabled? All I want to do is make sure all my photos are in the iCloud library.
Thanks

bump

  • How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

    Hi,
    It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

  • How do i add photos in my Ipod Video?

    How do i add photos in my Ipod Video and View them?

    Can you just open your ipod like a hard drive and put photos in the folder named Photo
    You need to let iTunes handle the transfer in order for the pictures to be viewable on the iPod. iTunes creates specially sized preview images and organizes the pictures & previews as it does for music files. If you put the pictures on manually through Windows Explorer and the iPod hard disk "interface", then you can retrieve the pictures on another computer. But the pictures won't display on the iPod.

    Well, If you've deleted the photos off your computer, then when you connect your iPod, they'll probably be automatically deleted off of it.
    Try this, though:
    Open iTunes.
    Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Without the iPod connected, it should say "No iPod connected". Leave this Preferences windows up and running; I believe this may prevent iTunes from seeing your iPod as a connection.
    Then, if you want to copy photos from your iPod to your computer, then see these programs:
    iPodPhotoCopy
    CopyPod Photo
    Then, move those photos that you have transferred to your computer to a new folder, for example. Name the folder, then add the other photos that you previously were wanting on your iPod into this new folder.
    In Edit -> Preferemces -> iPod -> Photos, select this new folder to sync to your iPod ("Browse" for location).
    I hope this helps,

  • How do I add photos to the camera roll that were not taken on my iPad? I imported photos to my iPad from my camera, and now I want to add them to my camera roll which is sync'ed with Dropbox as a back up mechanism.

    How do I add photos to my camera roll that were not taken one my iPad? I have iMported photos from my camera to my iPad. Theses photos are in the imported photo album. I want to move these photos to my camera roll but can't figure out how to this. I want them in my camera roll because that is the album that syncs with Dropbox where I want to backup my photos. Thank you for your help.

    Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes.  It's much easier to configure and manage than samba.  It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
    More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
    To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
    gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
    Subsitute my mount points with yours.
    For a password-less mount:
         ssh-copy-id gav@PI
    after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
    Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
       security = user
      hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
      guest account = gav
    ; And my share setup:
    [rpi]
       comment = Public Stuff
       path = /mnt
       writable = yes
    ;   printable = no
    ;   write list = @krb
    [torrent_dl]
       path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
       writable = yes
       create mask = 0770
       directory mask = 0770
       guest ok = Yes
       case sensitive = No
       read only = No
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again.  How could save them onto my iMac?

    I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1).  Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad,  iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
    WHOA.
    I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
    How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
    I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
    I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
    Many thanks!

    Another way. 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.)

    Thanks for your quick response. I thought I had tried that but I must not have because it worked perfectly.

    How do I add photos to photos team?

    You can't.  (We can't have people going around “deleting things”.)
    You can do a reset.  So it's all or nothing.
    But once 1,000 pics are stored in Photo Stream, every time you take a new pic, the oldest one will be deleted.

  • Simple question .... how to add photos to the body of my EMAILS -Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird

    Simple question - How do I add photos to the body of my emails . But instead of the answer - Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question in anyway. Why does it have to be so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question?
    Thunderbird is acting much like Microsoft, the every reason I dumping MS Live Mail.

    First of all, much help for Thunderbird refers to menus which may not be visible. It would help you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html
    So, open a write window. Enable its menu and toolbar(s).
    Now do you see an "Insert" option?
    If not, you may be set to compose in plain text, which does not support embedded images.
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select account}|Composition & Addressing''' and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" is ticked. If it wasn't already ticked, go back to composing a message. Any better now?
    Once you have HTML composition mode going, you can use '''Insert|Image''' or various permutations of copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop into your message body.

    I'd suggest you ask this question in the iPhoto forums:

  • How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
    You further explained
    I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
    A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
    If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
    A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
    Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link
