How do i get photos to save directly into my cloud not just my phone?

i purchased extra room on my iCloud and turned on photo stream on my devices. i did this so my photos would be stored on the cloud because i always run out of storage on my phone. firstly, how do i get pictures to start automatically saving into the photo stream? and how do i get photos to save directly into the cloud and not just on my device? I have my cloud connected between my macbook, ipad and iphone. i have mountain lion on my macbook, my ipad was just purchased last week so should be up to date, and have downloaded and installed the most up to date software on my phone.

Hello zampass,
Photos do not take up space on your iCloud storage. Photo Stream is seperate from iCloud storage.
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
From: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
I would recommend turning on Photo Stream, outlined in the same FAQ:
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
And tell iPhoto to automatically Import the photos to the computer from Photo Stream in the iPhoto Preferences:
That way your Photo stream items will always Automatically download to your computer and you can sync them to whatever device you choose.
When all that is setup, you can delete newer photos as you take them or periodically from the Camera Roll to free up space.
Keep this in mind from the FAQ:
What photo formats does Photo Stream support?
Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.
Take care,
Sterling

  • How do I get photos on my iphone into photostream for icloud?

    how do I get photos on my iphone into photostream for icloud?

    have you you downloaded the icloud software on your PC? Once it is set up the photos should go from your camera roll to the photostream automatically. Just go search for download icloud in google and install it. You also need to check you have the photostream turned on on your phone. Go to settings, icloud then photostream and check it is turned on.

  • How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after resetting my phone?

    How do i get my pics to download from the cloud after having to reset the phone?  I have 1000 pics and only 90 of them came back.

    If these are photo stream photos, what you may not know is that photo stream only keeps photos in photo stream for 30 days, even though they will remain on your devices (up to 1000) photos until your delete them.  The 90 photos that were still there are probably the ones added in the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup.  If the missing photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.  If they weren't in your camera roll there is no way to recover them.

  • IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto?  (It's not working!)

    Hi,
    I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
    Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

    Hi,
    The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
    If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.

  • How do i get photos sent via email into the new photos app in yosemite 10.10.3

    Using mail on my mac, having upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 i now cant import photos sent via email into the new photos app. if i highlight the photo in mail and right click the mouse the option is still to export to iPhoto !!

    I was clicking on the photo, so thanks for telling me about the save icon - unfortunately this still tries to open up and save to iPhoto the same as clicking on the image but my photos have been moved from iPhoto to the new photos app as part of the update to 10.10.3 Yosemite. Although it also gives me the option to save other places i cant work out how to save into the photo app

  • How do I get photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac

    Anyone know how to transfer photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or Aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac?

    Thx.  I thought that was what the various manuals were telling me to do but it wasn't working.  Your confirmation was useful in that it prompted me to double check (again) my usb connection (in its highly inconvenient location in the back of my iMac).  Voila.  "Always suspect operator error."

  • How do I get to see the folders on the server, not just the local for imap

    Only recent messages are shown for imap on iPad. One neat thing with imap is all or many are on server, even if not downloaded, is there a way to see them. On outlook they all show up.

    More information.
    I get load more messages by going to individual account and selecting all mail folder but all mail available only on gmail account. Why and how do I get that folder on my other accounts? they are all imap.

  • How can I get a digital WDT that includes all samples, not just the one for the current time step...?

    See block labeled ''digital data'' in my attachment for reference. Currently, only the digital data point for the current time step can be seen (it is deleted before the next one appears). However, I would like it display all the samples in the table like in the example found at this link under ''Digital Waveform Control'':

    Hey westerman111,
    If you're looking to produce have your display include the solution information from previous solver steps, you will need to buffer the previous data. The way to implement this in a Control Design & Simulation Loop is using the Memory.vi found under Control Design & Simulation > Simulation > Utilities > Memory.vi. It will allow you to save previous information generated in the simulation environment for letter solution steps.
    I've attached an example that should get you started in using the Memory.vi.
    I would also make sure that what you're looking to accomplish is suitable for the Control & Simulation Loop. I know you mentioned you were new to LabVIEW so I wanted to make sure you were heading off in the right direction. Is there a particular reason why you are using the Control & Simulation Loop instead of a standard While or For Loop? The Control Design & Simulation loop is unique in that it calculates the solution of a dynamic system at a prescribed time step and ODE solver. It also provides the tools to interact with the model you are solving during execution. However, if you are simply looking to perform data acquisition and measurements (instead of dynamic model simulation) I would recommend using standard LabVIEW functions.
    Here are some useful references for getting start with both LabVIEW and the Control Design and Simulation Module.

  • How can I get "script" format for signing forms and paperwork, not just printing my name?

    I would like to have a "script" font available when I sign e-mail forms or create forms.

    Hi mfeehley, most online editors provide a variety of fonts you can use when composing your message or signature. If the font you want to use is not included, perhaps you can create a small image (e.g., in a Word processor, then use Alt+PrintScreen to capture it to the clipboard as an image, then paste into Paintbrush and trim to a good side) and insert that into your signature instead. The mail site or form program help should explain how to insert images.

  • How do I get photos from my pc to Itunes to put on my IPAD?

    How do I get photos from my pc to Itunes to put on my IPAD?

    Hey Sandersincp,
    These are the steps for adding digital photos to an iPad using iTunes:
    Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    Click the Photos button.
    Select “Sync photos from” and choose an album or folder from the pop-up menu.If you’re using Adobe Photoshop Album or Adobe Photoshop Elements, you can export photos directly from those applications to your device by choosing Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose whether to move all your folders or albums, or only selected folders or albums.
    To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”Note:   To move the photos from your iPod to another computer, select this option, and also select “Enable disk use” in the Summary pane. This option isn’t available on iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. For more information, see Use iPod as an external hard drive.
    Click Apply.If it’s the first time you’re adding photos to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, it might take a while, but subsequent syncs should be faster.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

    how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?

    thank you

    If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
    You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

  • I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

    I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
