How do i get my photos to back up on icloud?

I believe my phone over heated and I need to go purchase a new phone. I do not want to lose all my photos that are curently on the phone. Is there a way to back up my photos to iCloud? I do not want to back them up on my laptop (I dont have much space left on it and my laptop could break down at any moment)
Please help!

If you perform a backup to icloud, the camera roll photos are included (if that setting was turned on) but not any other photos.  (Go to Settings>icloud>Storage&Backup>Manage Storage, tap your device name then be sure that camera roll is turned on in Backup Options.
Users should always sync photos to a computer to archiving.  icloud is not totally reliable, depending on how the user has the settings.
If you are converned about your laptop breaking down, remember that performing regular backups is as important as carrying a spare tire in your car.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases (which should include PDFs in the iBooks app even though they aren't purchases) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.
    On Windows 7 your backup should be stored under :
    \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    But without restoring onto a device you probably won't be able to make much sense of the backup files.
    If you want to copy off photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer

  • TS4036 I purchased the iPhone 5 and did a backup to my 4S before I made the change and did a full reset on the 4S.  How do I get everything that i backed up via iCloud on my new phone as it still ha not restored 2 weeks later?

    I purchased the iPhone 5 and upgraded from the 4S.  I backed up the 4S to iCloud before I did a full reset on the 4S.  My iPhone 5 has still not restored to the backup from the 4S and it has been 2 weeks since the change.  How do I get my iPhone 5 to sync to the backup I did on the 4S 2 weeks ago?

    You would have to essentially start again.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Contents And Settings
    This will take the handset right back to the original setup, where you will find an option to Restore From iCloud Backup.

  • Photo folder / album on phone and pc dissapeared? replaced with ipod photo cache folder? how do i get those photo's back?

    i was just syncing pics and it managed to sync 2 folders with around 190 pics then i synced the rest it deleted those 2 folders and those 190 pics dissapeared and in the folder on my pc was ipod photo cache? i really want those photos back since there really special ( friends , family ect.)

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • How do i get my google calendar back on pc icloud deleted it

    Can I keep my contacts on the ipad but not have icloud sync the calendar? I need to get google calendar back on my PC so I can sync with my Droid for my business. icloud calendar does not have reminders which I really need on my phone. Does anyone know how to get my calendar back please?

    Hello Ronbon13,
    Thank you for the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing on your iPhone 4S.  On an iOS device, you can configure previous events to sync to your device in the Calendar settings. 
    If you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, you can set your calendars to sync "All Events" or events ranging from 2 weeks back to 6 months back. 
    Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)

    I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
    How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
    Any help would be nice.
    Thank you.

    Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
    Were you restoring from an icloud backup?  IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

  • 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 can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    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..
