How do i know if my photos are in my icloud?

My iPhone took a little swim in the ocean yesterday and will not turn on.  How do i know if i have backed up my photos in the cloud?  Thank you!

If you enabled iCloud backup on your phone in Settings>iCloud, you phone would back up to iCloud every day as long as it's connected to wifi and your charger and the screen is locked.  If you aren't backing up to iCloud, your phone would be backed up to your computer every time you synced it with iTunes.  You can check by opening itunes on your computer and going to Preferences>Devices and checking on the Backups list.
You would have to be signed into your iCloud account on your computer to check if your phone was backed up to iCloud.  This explains how to sign into your account on your computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ (requires Vista SP2 or higher on a PC or OS X Lion or higher on a Mac).  If you can do this, you can then click Manage on the iCloud control panel for Windows on a PC or in System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac to see whether you have an iCloud backup or not.

  • How do i know if my photos are restoring from icloud?

    Yesterday I got a new iphone 5 and am currently doing an icloud restore. My photos say that 0 of 656 are downloading. Does this mean I will eventually get them from the icloud restore? Or did I lose them?

    It should restore just fine.
    Just to be clear, iCloud is a sync tool not a backup device. It would be unwise to use iCloud as a sole backup for your photos. Photo Stream only holds photos for 30 days or 1000 photos, whichever comes first and then it deletes the oldest.
    If you have iCloud set up on your computer you can use it to retain your photos indefinitely.

  • I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

    I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • I purchased extra icloud space to store my photos, videos etc in a process to switch my phone, as my current one is broken. How do I know that my photos have gotten to "the cloud"?? Forgive me, I'm new to this process.

    Photos and videos in the camera roll are included in your iCloud backup.  Restoring the backup to your new phone will recover them.

  • How do i make sure my photos are on a flash drive

    I seem to be having troubles with placing photos on my flash drive from my macbook air. I know how to do it, but how do I make sure my photos are actually on there?

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  This is covered in the manual.

  • Hi how do i know if my photo/contact n video have been sync

    hi how do i know if my photo/contact n video have been sync.i cant seem to find it. i can only find my app n voice recording

    What "photo/contact n video "?
    Synced from what?  Iphone?  Ipod? Ipad?  other device?
    Photos and vids taken with iphone are not part of the sync process at all.  You import them as you would with any digital camera.
    Contacts will be synced to the program that you chose when setting up syncing (Outlook/Addrss Book).
    Perhaps you should review the manual:

  • How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad??

    How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad?? I have an ipad and it was open by another person's Apple ID and all the applications too. Now I have change the Apple ID by my name and I wanted to update the apps and I can't remember if the apps were free or not, and I don't want to delete them without knowing if they are free.

    When you buy an app the app is permanently allocated to the AppleID account you bought it through.  You can then download that app on up to five devices,  as many times as you want, without buying it again.  So deleting an App is not a big problem, you just log into your account in iTunes again, find the app, and instead of showing you a 'BUY' button it shows you a 'DOWNLOAD' or 'INSTALL' button.
    If you change the AppleID account  you use in your iPad then Apple will think you sold the iPad to someone else, and all the apps with that name will stop working anyway.
    But you can change the name and email address for an AppleID account, without moving to a new AppleID account, by following these instructions:

  • How can I know in which Tables are the fields stored

    Hi,
    In transaction FSE3 Display Financial Version
    Statement Version, if I drilldown in details, I can
    see Item No, Chart of Acc, From Accountm To Account D,
    C.
    when I do a F1 on the fields, I can see that it is a
    structure. How can I know in which Tables are the
    fields store?

    Hi Ankit,
    There are no rules or guidelines for finding the table but i will share some of the tips used generally.........but i am not sure if we can do it for a tree structure..but try anyways....
    Double click on the structure name seen on the F1 pop up window...
    in the structure screen, try to analyse the field which is very important something like a key in that set of fields or do the same for the fields which we feel are more important,then click on the domain for that field....once in the domain..click on the "where used list for the domain" on the top...
    it will display a pop up -> select only "table" and then press "Tick/OK"..A list will be displayed with the data element and table name ..from this we need to find out the right one we need either by going for text of the table or going through each and every one
    It takes time but does the job.....
    Regards
    Byju

  • How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud?

    How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud? I haven't used Photo Stream before so there are no photos on there that I can see.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    If you haven't used Photostream there won't be any photos "actually on iCloud".
    Any photos stored as part of an iOS device backup can be viewed on the iOS device after restoring the backup to the iOS device. They can't be viewed online.

  • When I put my phone into Do Not Disturb mode....how do I know who my favorites are who can override this feature

    When I put my phone iPhone 4s into Do Not Disturb mode, how do I know who my favorites are that can over ride this feature?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

    None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

  • I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

    I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

    Most likely they are not going anywhere. What is the reason behind such a generic question?
    Do you suspect they are being uploaded somewhere?
    Do they not show in the Camera Roll after being taken?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.
