How do i get my photos out of a backup thats in the cloud onto my IOS 8 I phone 5S

Hi,
I just upgraded to a I phone 5S from an I Phone 5. I backed up the I Phone 5 and returned it to Verizon and received the 5S.
I didn't think to worry about doing a photo migration because the I Phone 5S came with IOS 7. What happened was I Tunes went ahead and put IOS 8 on the 5S which is ok but now the 900 + photos that were in my photo stream on my I Phone 5 did not transfer to my IOS 8 I Phone 5S.
BUT...I still have the original backup of the I Phone 5 with all of the pictures on it in I Cloud and a copy of it on my Computer.
Is there a way to get those photos back out of that backup and on to the I Phone 5S or just get them onto my computer? There is also a back up of my original I Phone 5 on my computer also. I always back up all of my devices in 2 places.
Can I use my daughters I Pad Mini running IOS 7 to put that I Phone 5 backup onto to get the pictures back & then restore her I Pad Mini back to a backup I would have created before doing the above or is there another way of doing it. My daughters I Pad Mini is only 16GB and my I Phone 5S is 32GB.
Any Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I can't replace a lot of those pictures.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
but it doesn't help me..

How can I get rejected photos out of LR5 and off the HD?

When I try to deleted rejected photos in LR5 on my iMac, I get a dialog saying they can't be sent to the trash. How can I get unwanted photos out of LR5 and off the hard drive?

Instead of hitting just the delete key, you need to hit ⌘+Del and one of the choices will be to remove from hard drive.

How can I get a print out of a conversation that was done through text on 08/23/2014?

how can I get a print out of a conversation that was done through text on 08/23/2014?

On what kind of phone model? Some phones depending on the OS have SMS Backup applications available.
You need a court order to get transcripts for the last 6 days or so of text messages directly from Verizon Wireless.

How do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone

how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

Re-enter them.
Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

How do I get all photos OUT of iPhoto?

I want to start over with iPhoto, Aperture, and various other programs, and thus I want to get all my photogrpahs out of iPhoto (and Aperture and Lightroom) to a "neutral corner, just a set of folders on the HD where they would be just the original photos without any additional organization or data. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks.

Hi fbx:
1. Do you want to take the originals? or the edited versions?
2. If the edited versions, simply select all and drag them from the iPhoto window to the folder you want them in. You can do the entire library like this, or do it album by album.
3. If the Originals: Select the pics and choose Photos -> Revert to Original. and repeat the above.
4. Alternatively, you can go to home/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals and take the pics from there. However, THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED as mucking about in the iPhoto Library will cause problems with iPhoto. I only mention it as you're talking about reverting to a 'green field' start.

HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

How do I get a CD out of a computer that won't start?

My computer has been freezing up. Usually if I let it cool off a few hours it will start again, but when I tried today it froze up during startup. I've got a CD in the drive. How do I get it out without trying to reboot the computer and possibly doing more damage to it?
I don't know if the freezing is due to hardware or what. All I know is that the CPU gets really hot and then everything stops. I've vacuumed dust out of it and made sure all connections inside were tight. I've run disk utility from the Tiger DVD and it said repairs were done. But problems keep getting worse and I just don't want to try and start it again - at least not until I get Disk Warrior. Can't get the DW disk in until I get the other one out.
I'm traveling in Newfoundland and won't be able to purchase Disk Warrior or have anyone look at the computer until early September when we get back to the US.

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 a photo to fully display in iMovie on the new iPad?

I can add the photo fine but it will only display about half of it at any one time.
I can transition from the top to the bottom of the photo but I really want to display the whole thing at once.
Thanks Rory

Sadly there is no way.
Other editing apps do allow black bars on screen, but iMovie does not.

HT1766 I have the I pad 1 which doesn't have icloud or iTunes.... How do I get these to be able to backup so I can then update my iOS

I have the iPad 1 but have never been able to update iOS from 4 which is a pain as most apps not need 5 or more. My iPad doesn't have cloud or itunes to backup ...... How can I get cloud without using lap top?? I have iPhone 4s which has cloud and now ios7
Thank you

the only way is to backup and update via itunes on a computer

How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

HT201210 How do I get my Iphone4 out of recovery mode if restoring the phone on numerous occasions does not work?

I was attempting to do the newest IOS 7 update and halfway through the reboot my phone froze. I attempted to restart the reboot by shutting the phone off but when it came back on it showed a USB cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol. When I plugged the phone in it stated that my phone was in recovery mode and needed to by restored. When I attempted to restore the phone it "extracted data" for approximately 30 min and then stated the phone could not be found. I tried this 4 separate times and took the phone to the local Verizon store who tried the same thing with the same results. What do I do?

Try this support document. It may take a number of tries http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

How do I get rid of a flashing Groupon ad that appears the moment I begin to use Firefox?

It's in color and constantly moving within its' frame. The ad is dead centered on the screen. Once I continue on to another site from Firefox the ad is gone. It's specific to Firefox. It's not logical that you've done this to torment your users. You're a non-profit. I will have to, very reluctantly, remove Firefox from my computer, though, regardless. How did Groupon worm its way onto my screen? The coincidence is that several days ago I unsubscribed from receiving Groupon's offers/ads. Could this be revenge? There's a meanness apparent here. Thank you for your attention and quick resolution. Allen R. Piper
