How do I get my photos back from the cloud

How can I get my photo's back from I cloud

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup, upgrading the iOS, or using the wrong itunes for syncing (which is your situation). If you haven't synced them to YOUR computer, then they are gone (unless you have backups to icloud turned on - but that isn't completely reliable; many users have lost their photos doing a restore from an icloud backup).
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

How do I get MY iTunes back from the cloud

The iCloud ate all my iTunes and won't give them back. Yes, I can download once song at a time but why should even music I loaded from my css be hijacked by iCloud? Any solution for this? APPLE please find a way out of this dilemma.

My experience was this:
1) I had a collection of 3000 songs on my hard drive of my Windows computer.
2) I started a subscription to iTunes Match.
3) The Match service scanned my music collection, and as far as I can tell it uploaded a number of my songs to the service cloud. (based on the cloud status indication in the iTunes GUI)
4) But judging from the cloud icons none of the songs remained on my local hard drive. For each of the 3000 songs the cloud-with-down-arrow icon indicated that the songs were only in the cloud, not on my PC.
5) I had evidence that the songs were not deleted from my PC, because the size of the iTunes library was the same and in the Windows file system I could still see the song titles, but as far as the iTunes GUI was concerned all the songs were in the cloud and not in the hard drive.
6) When I tried to play the songs, there was a startup delay, as if the song was being streamed from the cloud and not being played locally.
7) When I tried to play the songs without a WiFi connection they would not play.
8) I had to painfully download all 3000 songs one by one to restore them to the original state.
I'm left with a very bad taste about iTunes Match. It's the worst experience I've had with any Apple product or service. I'm seriously considering jumping ship from iTunes to some other music service, and I've been a loyal iTunes customer since it's inception.

How do I get my docs back from the cloud?

Upgraded my iPad, iPhone and Mac to allow iCloud to work across all devices. Now I have no documents in Numbers or Keynote. All files have moved into the iCloud and I cannot get them back onto my devices.
Have tried Settings>Keynote/Numbers>Use iCloud but every time I turn the feature on, it turnsoff when I use the App. What is going on?!! Somebody help pleeeeease........

I seem to have resolved the issue with a little help from Applecare, proceeding as follows:
1) Backup all of your iPad and/or iPhone data through iTunes;
2) click off the "Sync Apps" button in iTunes and perform a "clean" sync of the device (all third party apps will disappear, as well as iWork apps);
3) Connect to the Appstore on iPad/iPhone and download your apps back, STARTING WITH IWORK APPS;
4) Sync back again with iTunes.
After taking these steps, documents in the cloud appears to have resumed regular syncing with no deletions, I will keep everyone posted as to how this solution stands, however it seems to be a conflict between iWork apps and other third party apps. If true, it's hard to believe someone at Apple hasn't posted this workaround somewhere yet. If this workaround is only temporary, let's hope Apple fixes it soon.
But it's worth trying, no more deletes here!

Ok I can't seem to get my apps,music, or photos from my iCloud from when I first setup iCloud on a iPhone 4. How do I get my things back from the iCloud and get them to my new device?

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

How can I get my photos back from icloud

How can I get my photos back from my iPhone 4 on the icloud I got my music and my contacts but for some reason I can not get my photos.

Hi sadie,
When you did the backup, were the 1500 pictures all on your camera roll? Or were they on other Albums?
iCloud is not a storage device for your photos. You should be importing them to a computer or uploading them to a cloud storage facility like DropBox or Flickr.
Each time you do a backup of to iCloud, it creates a backup of what is on your phone at that moment in time. So, if you had some photos on one backup, but not the other, you would only be able to "recover" the photos from one of those backups. Photos in iCloud are not aggregative.
Also, the iCloud backup of photos only includes those photos or videos in the Camera Roll. Photos in any other album are not backed up:

If you had PhotoStream turned on, then the last month's-worth of PhotoStream, or the last 1000 PhotoStream photos would also still be viewable.
Can you tell us where those 1500 photos were located when you did your backup?
Sorry that you lost your photos. Take a look at DropBox in the App Store, or check out Flickr. If you aren't importing your photos on a regular basis to a computer, then these would be your best bet to protect your photos going forward.

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

How do I get my photos back from Beta?

Hi, for weeks mows I have been trying to get my photos back from icloud but I can't find them. I've read so many forums that say there is a bug and lots of other people saying they will be gone forever. when I follow the iCloud link it doesn't allow me to log in anywhere and I don't know what to do, can someone help me please? Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi Terence, when I upgraded to iOS 8 a pop up asked if I wanted to backup my photos in iCloud which I opted for and previously I had all my photos stored on a camera roll or my photo stream. I thought that this would store them in iCloud however when I go to iCloud it always asks me to set this up on my iPad which I have already done Rather than let me access the photos. In the settings area I have the iCloud photo library (Beta) switched on and it's currently set to optimise storage, I just can't get into wherever these photos are stored. I'm not tech savvy at all but I have read and searched everywhere on what to do (and tried some options) but I'm wondering now if I am like some other users who report that their photos went missing also when this service was launched as I did this a few months ago. Apologies for my lack of knowledge here!!!

How do I get my photo's from the iCloud to my computer?

how do I get my photo's from icloud to my computer?

If you mean on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, check Photos, then click Options and check My Photo Stream. This requires iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher, or Aperture 3.2.3 or higher. Depending on your version, you may also have the option to enable photo sharing.
If you want photo stream photos to be automatically imported to your events, open iPhoto and go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import under My Photo Stream.
(Note: when you first enable photo stream, you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days. To stream older photos, you will have to add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.)

How can I get my photos back from icloud after an upgrade?

So I recently upgraded my iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5s last Wednesday. I had made sure to back it up with icloud 3 times on 3 different days prior to this. I received my new phone and it was backing up perfectly. Till I realized that my 1,500 photos hadn't uploaded and my phone wasn't letting me take pictures. It had only let me download about 300. I am devastated by the loss of these pictures. I have restored my phone multiple times and it still downloads the same pictures. I have no other problems. I called Apple and they said that the icloud only backed up these 300 pictures and my other ones were lost. But yet there were no signs of my backup being incomplete. How can I get my pictures back?

How do I get my photos back from my iPhone that's been stolen

I lost my iPhone 5 not all my pics on there saved to photo stream I've blocked the phone but wanted to know how I get my photos from my phone back threw iCloud

You can't get them back from iCloud. Unless you imported the photos to your computer or unless you backed up all of the photos in iCloud and you have another iOS device from which you can restore the phone backup - you can't recover the photos. iCloud is not for storage of files, photos and data that you can selectively download to your computer or iOS device. iCloud is for backups of your devices.

How do i get my photos back from icloud

HELP!!! I think this maye be of no use but.. I brought a new iphone on the weekend in sydney and I started using it right away and click on use icloud. I took many photos over the weekend and when I got home (sleep deprived) i plugged it into my laptop and it restored and went back to the settings of my old iphone wipping ALL my photos and videos of the weekend. Just wondering is there anyway I can get my photos and back from iCloud??? Thanks in advance...

There is a chance that those pictures may still download after couple of hours if you had your photostream on the new phone and if you turn it on now. Usually there is 30 days backlog in icloud photostream.

How do I get my photos back from iPhoto?

I updated my MacBook Pro but it froze half way through installing so I turned the MacBook off, when it came back on I had a problem with the software and had to install it properly again. Doing that caused me to loose all my files originally on the laptop, i had to set it up like a brand new.
All my photos were stored on my iPhoto but when I downloaded the app and opened it up none of my photos I had were there. Is there any way to get all my photos back at all? There's a lot of photos I've lost because of the update freezing on my MacBook.

If you backed it up with Time Machine, click here and follow the instructions.
If you backed it up by creating a bootable clone, open the Pictures folder of your home folder on the clone and drag the library back.
If you backed it up by drag-copying, proceed as if it was a bootable clone, except that the path may be different.
If you backed it up in another way, check the product's documentation.
