How do I download photos from the cloud to an Iphone 5c

My wife's iphone 5 got destroyed and she got a replacement iphone 5c, and none of her photos are there, how do I go about trying to download them from the cloud.  These photos were only taken on her phone, and her itunes is on a PC not a Mac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"The cloud" just means "her account on a server somewhere." Since you're asking how to get her photos out of the cloud, the next question is, which cloud storage service was she backing up her photos to? Apple iCloud? Google Photos? Dropbox? Flickr?
Once you know which service she was using, all that should be needed is to log into that account on her new phone. For iCloud, she would log in from the Settings app and then turn on the Photos switch; for non-Apple cloud photo backup she probably needs to download that service's app like the Google app or the Dropbox app. Once she is logged in to the service she was using, her photos should be accessible and downloadable.

That's fine. With cloud services, the server is the central location and the device doesn't matter; any compatible device (Mac, PC, phone, tablet etc.) can upload or download files with the cloud server.

    You can also move them on your iPhone from Photo Stream to Camera Roll.

    What information are you referring to?  You may mean restoring an iCloud backup from a previous device.  Or you may mean adding iCloud calendars, contacts, etc. to your iPhone.
    In the former case (restoring a backup), the setup assistant should walk you through that process.
    In the latter case (adding contacts, etc.), simply set up your iPhone as an iCloud device in Settings > iCloud.

    how do you delete photos from the cloud?

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • New update deleted all of my lecture notes and wouldn't restore recent backup. How can I download them from the cloud to my iPad? (not at my computer right now)

    (It's fifteen minutes before class starts)
    I tried to back up all of my devices before making the update to 7.0.6.
    My iPad was ejected and iTunes told me that it couldn't be updated due to some error (this was yesterday). Then when I plugged it back in, it said I needed to restore my iPad, and I couldn't get to the home screen or anything, it just showed a "Connect to iTunes" icon. So it restored a really early version (with notes from last semester but not from this semester), even though I'm sure I've backed it up at least twice since I got it (1-13-14).
    I got onto the Cloud and downloaded some important lecture notes before performing the update just to make sure that they would all be up to date, but those are on my computer, which I am currently not at, so I can't download them. I saw that my iPad was syncing with my Cloud, so my college notes were all showing up, and I didn't stick around to make sure that the current ones showed up (but they're on my cloud, so wouldn't they?).
    Also, I use Branchfire's iAnnotate PDF, and all of my highlighted articles for research papers and summaries are gone. I'm missing important articles that had notes for two seminars, and they're all gone. I'm confident I can recover things from the cloud, but iAnnotate doesn't use the cloud. Is there a way to find those again?
    What I'm curious about right now is if there's a way to download from the Cloud to my iPad, because that's where my notes are.
    Does the cloud sync FROM my iPad? As in, if it isn't on my iPad will it delete documents from my Cloud? Or if it's in the Cloud, will it sync to my iPad if it's absent here?
    This is really frustrating, especially because I TRIED to back everything up just to be safe. I tried everything, and I still lost all of my important files. This is beyond frustrating, it's devastating. This is unacceptable.

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • I Trashed Some Song Files from my Computer that Had Been Previously Matched, and Now iTunes Can't Located Them. How Do I Download Them from the Cloud?

    The title pretty much says it all. I deleted some songs from my hard drive that had already been added to the cloud using iTunes Match, and now, when I try to play them, I'm asked to locate the files. The songs are still available on my other devices, so I didn't delete them from the cloud. How do I reconect the songs on my computer with the files in the cloud?

    Apple provides a brain-dead simple way to backup all your personal data in the form of Time Machine that keeps incremental backups going back at least several weeks, if not months (depending on the size of the backup drive). Why more people don't use it is a puzzle to me. In this day and age of person, and very important, data being digitial (sometimes exclusively) backing everything up becomes imperative. Ideally a good backup scheme should incorporate multiple backup solutions in case of very serious emergencies, but for most people, and in the case described in the OP TM is a very good solution. If a file is deleted, then found to be needed again, just go to the date and time in TM just before the file was deleted and restore it. Simple. But it doesn't work if you aren't backing up. So... backup, backup, backup. You'll thank yourself that you did when you finally need it.

    How do you download music from iCloud to a new computer?

    Hi Heatheretd,
    So, you have a new computer, and you have loaded the most current version of iTunes 11 onto it, correct? What type of computer is it - that will make it easier to walk you through this....
    And we are assuming your mean all your PURCHASED music from iTunes? Or are you talking about moving an entire iTunes library  from an old computer to a new one.....
    Cheers,

  • How do I Delete Photos from the Cloud?

    If I delete a picture in the new Photos app on my Mac is it then deleted from the cloud, too?   This is the behavior I would prefer.  
    I know that is not the case if I delete from my iPad, which makes sense because of it's limited storage capability.
    But I see my Mac as the master controller.  I get the feeling that even if I delete it from my Mac it is still in the cloud.
    Does anybody know?

    Well, I can answer my own question.       I did an experiment and deleted two pictures from Photos on my Mac and then I logged into the iCloud via Safari and checked to see if they had been deleted from the iCloud, too, and they had.   Hooray!
